A.N.- HOLY SHIT MONKEY BALLS I SLEPT IN UNTIL FREAKING 3 PM TODAY….
Irrelevant chapter title
It was nearing five in the morning and the club was almost empty except for the few hardcore party animals still dancing. Pedro slept in his chair, upside down, with his tongue hanging out and drooling on Nico who was asleep on the floor at the base of his chair. Blu, Jewel and Raphael observed them not knowing what to say.
"Uh, how long have they been like that?" Blu asked with a disgusted expression.
Jewel nodded her head and shrugged her shoulders, "Beats me, what a bunch of goofballs."
"Well lovebirds it was nice talking to you and catching up but if I don't get home before Eva wakes up she'll rip my guts out and feed it to the kids." He said while rolling his eyes laughing. Blu and Jewel looked at him with startled faces. "I'll be sure to tell Eva the happy news!" he said as he got up and hugged the two.
Jewel and Blu sat in silence for a couple of seconds when Jewel took his wing in hers.
"Let's get out of here." She said winking at him.
"Hold on I need to ask you something really quick Jewel," he said, "you didn't have any kids right?"
Jewel looked at him with her mouth hanging open and eye brows narrow. Blu gulped and began sweating and said, "Heh I guess that a no." While backing up slowly scratching the back of neck nervously.
Blu had forgotten just exactly how terrifying Jewel was upset, and now wish he could take the stupid question back. Jewel walked towards him and raised her wing as if she was about to slap him, Blu flinched and held his wings up in the air while cowering at the ground. Jewel chuckled bringing him back up for a kiss.
"You know that was a real dumb question," she said and Blu nodded, "oh and you're really cute when cowering in fear." She laughed while Blu blushed in embarrassment.
Jewel stopped laughing and pushed him up against the wall, "Just because I didn't have kids the first time doesn't mean we can't try again." She whispered seductively in his ear. Blu began sweating and blushing bright red.
"Um n-n-now, you wan-want to do it n-now?" He stuttered.
Blu looked at him peculiarly and giggled, "Of course not here silly, Nico and Pedro would probably begin to fap." She said smiling. "Blu your so innocent ignorant sometimes."
She pulled him in for a deep kiss, Blu let out a deep satisfying sigh when she pulled away. He looked drunk, which he was but not on alcohol but love. Blu turned around and began walking out of the club. Blu leaned up against the wall resting his head on it and closed his eyes. He felt joy, love, and pleasure sweep over his body with tiny bristles and he let out a contempt sigh and walked to catch up with Jewel.
When he walked out of the club he didn't exactly like what he saw. Russell and Jewel stood at the entrance talking to each other.
"I'm sorry Russell but my heart belongs to Blu and we can't ever be together, I still love you as a brother though and always will." Jewel said trying not to cry, she always hated conversations when she had to break a birds heart.
Russell let out a sigh, "You're right, you and Blu are the perfect couple and belong together." Russell said. Jewel was happy that he was mature about it and gave him a quick hug.
Blu walked up to Russell, "Hi, we haven't been formally introduced yet, I'm Blu." He said holding his claw out for a handshake. This perplexed Russell, earlier that night he saw him kissing his mate and here Blu was acting as if nothing ever happened.
Russell shook his claw firmly saying, "Thanks for not killing me for kissing Jewel, the name is Russell."
"Well if your Jewels brother than that makes you mine as well and family forgives family." Blu said.
Russell gave him a nod and asked where they were heading. Blu choked up and Jewel calmly told him back to Linda's bookstore to get some rest. Russell understood and said he was going back to Lisa to sleep off the night, he gave Jewel a hug and Blu a final handshake before flying off. Jewel looked back at Blu seductively he looked back chuckling with a slightly frightened look.
"Now then, where were we?" she said.
Russell flew away from the two birds and around the corner where Nigel waited for him.
"Blu is more gullible and ignorant then we thought, neither are suspecting a thing." He said grinning.
"Good good, very good Russell, did you find out where they are staying?" Nigel asked.
"Yea at Blus human friend bookstore." Russell informed.
Nigel gave him a nod telling him to go get some rest, they were going to have a long exciting night. Russell obeyed and flew back to the hotel room while Nigel went to go talk to an old friend.
Jewel had took Blu to the beach looking for a place secluded where they wouldn't be disturbed. Blu flew behind Jewel a nervous feeling in his gut.
C'mon Blu pull it together this night is something special, Jewels back and she wants to make love, but yet here you are trying to think an excuse to back out, what are you a panzy? Mentally arguing with his self.
Jewels eyes lit up when she saw what looked like to be a small cove. The two birds flew over a barrier of rocks and found a small beach spanning about fifteen feet enclosed on all sides by large rocks except for a narrow entrance about twenty-five feet out from shore. Jewel landed with Blu behind her. The tide was out leaving small pools of water in its wake.
"This is a nice place," Blu said, "wanna go for a swim?" he chuckled nervously.
Blu watched as Jewel walked into one of the small tide pools, the water nearly up to her neck, she turned around and looked at him. Jewel motioned her wing slowly for Blu to follow her in. He took a big gulp and walked over blushing and sweating like a pig. When he reached the tide pool he stood at the edge looking down at Jewel. Her wet feathers shone brightly from the light reflecting off the water, it was dawn now, the suns rays were beginning to scare away the dark giving a light dim blue look to everything.
"It looks like you need to cool off." Jewel splashed some water on him. She soaked him almost head to toe the only dry part being his back. "You might as well come finish what I started." She said reaching up and pulling him in with her.
"You know its quite interesting, all the animals in this ecosystem have became adapted to both wet and dry and hot weather if they want to survive. The intertidal zone experiences more environment changes than any other system." He said very quickly. He was going to continue talking hoping to stall the inevitable but Jewel covered his mouth and said.
"You know you talk too much for your own good and when you're nervous I think that it is just to…cute." She whispered in his ear. Blu gulped as he was attacked by Jewel kissing him like a wild animal. She forced her tongue against his, then Blus heartbeat slowed, the nervous feeling in his gut dissipated, and he grasped Jewel in his wings returning the kiss. Blu laid Jewel at the edge of the tide pool just as he did before in the shower, they exchanged those three magical three words briefly before making love.
Blu woke to the mist of waves generated from them violently crashing against the rocks the sun was high in the sky and Blu could hear the yells and screams of beach-goers and tourists over the rocks. Jewel slept in his wings, her head in his chest still sleeping peacefully. He gazed at her admiring her simple beauty and grace. Blu was never very religious but every time he saw Jewel sleeping the only word that came into his mind was angel.
"How did I ever get as lucky to find you?" Blu mumbled under his breath.
"Because love is a magical thing." Jewel said sleepily, startling Blu.
"Oh Jewel, you're awake," he said nervously, "you weren't suppose to hear that." He chuckled nervously. Blu stood up brushing sand off of himself and looked down at Jewel who gazed up at him smiling. Blu stopped and asked if there was something that was on him or he didn't know about.
"Blu I think that last night, or this morning whatever you prefer, was the one." Jewel stated.
Blu looked at her confused, "What do you mean?" he asked continuing to brush sand off him.
"What I mean is that, well let's just put it this way," she said as she stood up and put her wings around Blu, "You will be a father very soon."
Blu choked up but managed to say, "You're sure that it worked this time?"
Jewel nodded yes and pulled his head closer for a kiss, Blu kissed back but his mind was elsewhere.
I'm ready for this… he thought.
After the kiss the two decided to take a quick swim and enjoy the beach before heading off to visit Linda and Tulio.
Linda's day at the book store was a slow one, she only sold a total of four books and it was nearing two in the afternoon. She stood at the front desk with her head resting on her right hand and tapping her left fingers on the wood, impatiently waiting for someone to walk thru the door. Then she saw a blue flash land in front of the door and her eyes lit up with excitement. She rushed over the door opening it greeting Blu in. He stood at the door way looking off to the side squawking as if talking to someone. Linda was going to tell him to stop goofing around and get in before he gets killed by someone stepping on him. But when she saw Jewel poked her head around the corner slowly, looking at her Linda gave out a inaudible mumble before falling back.
Linda's head pounded in agonizing pain. When she opened her eyes she saw two blue figures standing over her and as her eyes came into better focus she saw Blu and Jewel.
"Jewel you're back!" she yelled snatching up the light blue bird and hugging it tightly. Jewel let out a weak agitated squawk while Blu was trying to pry Linda's arms off of Jewel. Linda apologized and put her down, Jewel fluffed up her feathers and a gave Linda a brief glare.
"Why weren't you that happy when you saw me Blu?" she asked.
"Uh because you were kissing another bird maybe?" he replied in a sarcastic tone.
Jewel felt remorse for what she said and was going to apologize but was stopped as she was barraged by a wave a questions from Linda. Jewel tried her best to answer them but eventually just nodded yes to every one of them.
"You guys hungry?" Linda asked.
Both of the birds gave out a joyful squawk and hopped onto Linda, one on each shoulder. Linda took them to the kitchen, setting them down on the counter.
"I would give you some cookies and milk but what happened last time basically banned you two from ever having those again, or at least when you're in the same room." Linda said jokingly.
Blu and Jewel looked at each other and laughed. While Linda scrounged looking for something to fix.
"Dam Tulio, from now on I'll be the one to go out and get groceries." Linda mumbled, then her eyes lit up. "We need to call Tulio and tell him the great news!"
~the previous night~
Nigel landed on the airstrip and looked around at the planes mischievously, picking out which one he would want to use. He walked up to a hangar and squeezed thru a small opening. The hangar was dark, the only light was the moonlight seeping thru open windows at the top of the hangar. Still Nigel could see spare parts, from landing wheels to propellers scatted thru out the hangar. He weaved around cans and tools left on the floor and stepped in some oil, he let out a putrid groan and began wiping it on the floor.
A set of claws came zooming in from above tackling and pinning Nigel to the floor. Nigel let out a sigh, throwing his bottom half up behind the other bird and grabbed its neck with his talons, slamming the bird's chest on the floor.
"Okay you win Nigel." The bird said out of air.
"Chester you never learn do you?" Nigel said releasing his grip on the birds neck and wiping the rest of the oil on Chester's back.
"Why the surprise visit Nigel, I haven't seen you in a couple of years." Chester chuckled getting up to his feet.
"I require someone with your skills and assets and seeing that we have already worked with each other in the past…" Nigel said grinning evilly.
"Whoa man what happened to your eye?" Chester asked interrupting Nigel.
"I was getting to that!" he yelled.
Nigel explained his story of the problems he had with Blu and Jewel and how he knows where they are and wants revenge.
"How do I have any part in this?" Chester questioned.
"I was getting to that also!" Nigel yelled abruptly.
"Tomorrow night my partner and I will be bringing the two spix macaws here and it is up to you to have a plane ready for us to use, we won't even be flying it, just need the propeller to go round and round." Nigel laughed in a evil manic laugh.
"Yeeeeeea I can't do that." Chester said. Nigel stopped and looked at him with anger in his face.
"Why the hell not?" Nigel asked walking towards him.
Chester began backing up in fear, "Because the boss takes all the keys to the planes with him when he leaves!" he yelled holding his wings up in fear to be slashed with Nigel's talons.
Nigel let out a chuckle sand said it wouldn't be a problem.
Bob parked his 1992 red ford ranger in front of the hangar. He walked to the hangar and sliding it open all the way. He could see rats and bugs scatter away in fear of the light and gave a disappointing nod. He walked into the hangar and gave out a high pitched whistle with his thumb and middle finger. Chester came out from a top the hangar and flew on his shoulder. Bob gave him a light pat on his head and brief scratch on his neck, Chester purred like a cat.
Bob with Chester on his shoulder walked into a side room and flipped on the light switch setting Chester down on the table. Bob began writing things down on a piece of paper when Chester touched his hand with his claw. Bob looked at Chester who looked worried.
"What's wrong Chester?" Bob asked. Chester let out a sad squawk and looked behind Bob at something. Bob felt a light tap on his shoulder and turned around to see Nigel with a tire iron and everything went black.
Nigel took the keys from his belt loop and made Chester help him push Bob into a closet, the task took nearly a hour and Bob regained consciousness two times only to smacked with the tire iron again by Nigel. Nigel locked the closet door and handed Chester the keys.
"Tonight don't forget!" Nigel said as he flew off to find Russell.
