"Childbirth"

Blu and Jewel decided, for the good of their children, that Jewel would stay at home until the birth began. All day long she rested in bed, often accompanied by Susan, who came almost every day for the whole day. Blu was also with them, he talked with them, but he had to fly often after Jewel's whims. "You could have warned Rafael of this..." that's how Blu always thought when he had to fly for a bigger and bigger bunch of mangoes. During pregnancy Blu became almost a slave to Jewel. Often when he was coming back with fruits Jewel started quarrels and then she calmed down and started sobbing. "It's not your fault loving wife, it's through hormones, I know that you didn't want to argue" Blu said to comfort Jewel.

"Excuse me, I love you and I would never argue with you". she answered comforted. Then they shared a short kiss and everything was coming back to normal. Susan fully understood the situation, she was a very wise bird, by which she associated many phrases, also "hormones" were not alien to her. Jewel's size increased from day to day, which made Blu very happy, he saw that pregnancy was going well, but he always preferred to fly to a specialist.

"Blu, I feel great! Never been better! I mean do we really need to go to Tulio? I feel great!" Jewel defended herself when she heard Blu start talking about the outlet.

"All for the good of our children, isn't it?" answered Blu to her excuse. The only one who agreed to resign, entering the claws of Blu. Susan accompanied them with every test, she flew inside, but she still had resistance to human things. "Do you trust them? And if they take you one day," asked Susan Blu.

"This man is honest, he helps the birds, see for himself!" Blu answered, pointing his wing at the cages where the veterinarians were giving them medicine. Some birds were crawling under the influence of reliefs provided by medicines given to them.

"All right! Jewel will sometimes feel strong pains... This is the hardest period of pregnancy, so you have to be persistent!" One day, Tulio gave them some very good news. Blu was as excited as ever, but Jewel felt anxiety.

"I'm calm and I'll be with you, remember?" asked Blu when he saw Jewel walking anxiously on the desk top. She was also excited like Blu, but also upset about what awaits them. She smiled slightly hearing these words and then sat down on the edge of the table.

"Jewel? Is something wrong?" asked Blu while observing the silent Jewel.

"Yes, forgive me just a little bit afraid..." Jewel replied. Blu smiled and flew home. Blu had more and more problems with maintaining a high flight course, because Jewel gained quite a lot of weight through pregnancy, which was in a balanced degree. After 30 minutes of heavy flight for the male, they managed to reach their destination. Blu put his wife in the nest and then fell from fatigue on the floor.

"All right? Someone's warn out!" Susan asked when she saw a lying friend.

"Yes, I am simply tired...a sweet weight he announced at the end giggling in the direction of Jewel. She only reciprocated the smile, blushing slightly.

"It was quite dark, I have to fly home, until tomorrow!" said Susan. And indeed. It was very dark, the stars were shining poorly, just like the moon. The day was passing quickly, mainly through the journey to the doctor, which lasted much longer than at the beginning of pregnancy. Blu knew that it was probably only a matter of time when Jewel would give birth, but he didn't want to upset her. When he lived in Minnesota, Blu was very interested in bird anatomy, it was the main topic he read about in books! He remembered that during pregnancy or childbirth the most important thing is to stay calm. Blu, when Susan left them felt anxiety, he felt that something was going to happen that night... He did not know what was going to happen, but he felt that he could not fall asleep. Jewel also did not sleep, she felt a slight pain in her stomach, she did not pay much attention to it, because the doctor warned them against it. Soon after it was midnight, Blu noticed leaking liquids from Jewel's body. The abdominal pain grew and Jewel started to feel strange vibrations in the abdomen.

"Blu, I feel something... In the belly!" Jewel shouted frightened. Blu smiled rejoicing when he realized that his wife would give birth in a moment! Blu grabbed her by the wing and tried to calm her down.

"Listen, in a moment you will give birth! You have to be calm, relax and listen to my commands well? Jewel slapped him round the back of his head "Stay calm?! STAY CALM! You aren't pushing an egg out of you!" Jewel was even more afraid of these words, but he tried to calm down.

"Take a few deep breaths, it will help you" said Blu as he shrugged off the last outburst from his wife who clearly in agony.

"Oh, it hurts, oh!" Jewel shouted out of pain.

"Satisfied, take a few deep breaths and start pushing, you can squeeze my wing for relief". Jewel tried to push as many times as she could, she squeezed the wing more and more, she felt nightmare pain more and more.

"Blu, I can't do it! Oh..." Jewel moaned as she rolled herself out of pain.

"Yes, you can, you can already see the first egg!" said Blu motivationally. Jewel pushed with all her strength, so that's why the first egg came out of her.

"Two more, two more!" he repeated to comfort Jewel. The female focused on the birth, pushed as much as she could, with pain every now and then. After a while she was so tired that sweat began to flow from her body.

"I have to... Stop... I can't do it..." Jewel sighed, resigned. Seeing that his wife is on the verge of endurance, Blu decided to do the only logical thing he could do: kiss her. He kissed her torturing and slowly to make her feel as relaxed as possible. Under the influence of the kiss Jewel relaxed and then reciprocated the kiss. She gained strength and pushed with all her strength. Soon a second egg came out. Seeing the two yet unborn children, Blu felt happy.

"That's it! Just the last egg, you can manage, I believe in you!" shouted the happy Blu. Jewel was experiencing the toughest moment in her life, now it was too late to interrupt the birth, she had to experience this terrible pain. She let go of Blu's wing for a moment and then squeezed it even more. The wing was already in severe pain with Blu but he didn't care about it nowadays. Only his wife, who gave birth, cared about him.

"Blu, ouch... That... The last egg?" She asked for certainty. Blu waved his head affirmatively, smiling. Jewel, tired, reciprocated her smile trying to push the last child out of her womb.

"Blu, you can do it for me ohh... Help?" She begged Jewel.

"Of course, everything for you angel" Blu thought about what he could do. He decided to kiss her again, this time more passionately to make her feel more pleasure. Jewel moaned in the beak of her partner with pain and pleasure. Soon Blu noticed how the last egg was released.

"Hello, you succeeded!" shouted a happy Blu seeing three beautiful eggs in front of him.
