Chapter 11: The New Life

~Jewel~

I woke up in the middle of the night due to a searing pain in my stomach. I groaned, but quiet enough not to wake Blu, who was sleeping peacefully beside me.

The pain started to increase, until I had to lie down in agony. I must have been crying out in pain because at that moment, Blu jerked awake. He blinked a

couple of times to clear his eyes, then focused on me.

He quickly knelt beside me and stroked me on the top of my head. He stayed next to me, stroking my hair until the pain subsided. He kissed me on the top of

my beak, sending a radiation of warmth down my body. Blu then settled down and fell asleep, holding me in his wings. I couldn't get to sleep, though. I stayed

wide awake, milling over the subject of parenting. It took a while, but my eyes slowly closed and i drifted off to sleep.

~Blu~

As soon as the morning came, I took off to Rafael's nest. Jewel was asleep, and I need a little advice on parenting. I landed just outside his nest, my eyes

looking for the tell-tale rustling of bushes and the sound of leaves parting. I haven't forgotten about Rafael's dive-bombing kids. With the coast clear, I

requested Rafael's presence. He fluttered down from his nest and landed in front of me.

"Hey, Blu do you need anything?" asked Rafael.

"Yeah, do you know how to be a good parent?" Rafael grinned and happily replied with,

"Of course I do! Now, for starters you need to be relaxed most of the time, you need not get into a panic when they're out of your nest, and most importantly,

if they ask you to do something, unless its stupid, do it." he concluded. "Thanks, man." I replied as I swoop towards the fruit stands. Just as I land at the

stands, Nico and Pedro greet me.

"Yo Blu, whatcha doin' over here?" Inquired Pedro. I explained that I was just getting a huge load of food, since Jewel had to eat lots of food because of her

pregnancy. Nico and Pedro siad they were here because they're club had run out of food. We said our goodbyes and I flew back to the nest. But, when I got

there, Jewel was hunched over, crying out in pain.

I knew too well what was coming.

~Jewel~

Pain swelled up in my stomach, making my head spin and black circles appear in my vision. Blu was here now, trying as best he could to help me. Something

was squeezing It's way out of me, making me want to die from pain. I groaned as something dropped from me, then another and finally a third. The pain

subsided, and I sighed in relief. Blu gasped, and covered his beak with his wings. But the look in his eyes wasn't concern,it was happiness. I stood up and

looked at where I had been lying. It was a thing of beauty, three pearly white eggs laid in a triangle shape. I squealed and kissed Blu for about a minute, and

then happily sat on the eggs to keep them warm.

3 days later

I had been sitting on the eggs for three days now, keeling them toasty warm. Blu had brought us breakfast, and as we ate it we discussed what we would call

them.

"I don't think we should name them yet, we should wait for them to hatch." Blu told me. I realized that Blu was right.

What if we named a girl a boy's name and a boy a girl's name! Just after we ate breakfast, I heard a cracking sound from underneath me. I gasped and said,

"Blu! come quick they're hatching! We gathered round as the chicks hatched from their shells. First came a girl, then two boys.

"What should we call them?" Asked Blu. I pointed at the girl.

"I think Crystal is a nice name." Blu pointed at the boys.

"Back in Minnesota, Tom and Jack were popular names." I laughed and said, "That sounds perfect." Just then the chicks opened their eyes and feebly looked at

them. Tom and Jack had inherited my emerald eyes, whereas Crystal had her fathers brown. The three chicks then said "Mommy, Daddy." Me and Blu looked

each other and had a kiss and hug, then did the same to our three chicks. I was very tired so, we decided to go to sleep, with happy thoughts of a life with the

chicks.

And the new life is born! sorry It wasn't the longest chapter ever, I didn't have time to write a longer one. And again,
