CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: MATCHMAKERS (PT.2)

Back at the scarlet tribe, it was still daytime, and the dear friendly scarlet macaw, Liz, was on her way to visit her parents, Albert and Maria. For three years she spent her time living with her boyfriend Roberto and throughout that entire time she has been wanting to raise a family with him. So all she needed to do first was inform her parents, or else things would go downhill. The thoughts of her being mother still raced around her head until she made it. She was at her parents' place and saw them smiling, talking, and laughing while having dinner. It made Liz think again about being a mother and a wife.

Albert noticed her, "Hi dear." "Hi daddy." "Do you wanna come in here and join us?" "Sure. Where's Lisa?" Maria answered her, "She's with Skye and Mimi. Trying to hang out with the girls to forget about Tiago for a little while, and I'm glad to be enjoying myself with my husband." She cuddled her head to Albert's shoulder to his enjoyment. Which was when Liz decided to get on with it. "Hmm…guys? Speaking of which, I just wanna thanks for trusting Roberto enough to take care when I asked you if I could move in with him."

"Oh you're welcome, sweetie." Albert smiled.

"I had my doubts at first but the boy did do a great job on proving me wrong. I'm glad he's taking care of you." Maria said.

"Thanks guys. And there's also something else important I wanna mention."

"Okay."

"I…I've been having this thought on my mind for so long. And I think it would be best if I spoke with you guys about it first."

"Well whatever it is, I think we can handle it." Albert said before he began to eat a Brazil nut and Maria began to drink a Brazil nut shell filled with water. Liz breathed and exhaled, ready for result, and finally said, "Mom, dad, I wanna raise a family with Roberto." Maria spit the water out in surprise and Alberto choked on his Brazil nut. They both coughed until they both felt normal again and said "What!?" "Yeah I was afraid of that reaction." The parents didn't look mad just worried, as they stared at each other. They thought about how it would go. But then they smiled and chuckled a little.

"What's so funny?" Liz asked.

"Nothing except…you sound a lot like me now. I felt the exact same way when I told my parents that I wanted to raise a family with Albert."

Alberto smiled to her, "After that, she came to me, and after talking over it, we took our time, and…well now you, Alex, and Lisa are here."

"So guys aren't mad or anything?"

"No of course not."

Then Maria said to her, "Having feelings like that is natural for all creatures. And even though we're glad you told us about it before you decided to speak with him first, you're a grown woman and we trust Roberto. And since you two already live together, any decision you both make is yours alone. We have no control over you anymore."

"Really? Aw thank you guys!" She came up and hugged her parents before they hugged back. "I love you guys." "We love you too, Liz. Just be careful and I wanna make sure Roberto takes good care of you afterwards." "I'm absolutely certain he will, mom. Thanks guys. And mom, thank you for also being nice to Roberto and everyone else that came here before."

Maria smiled deeply as she looked at Albert. "What can I say? They deserved it since one of them saved your father's life." She hugged Albert. Liz smiled and thanked them again before flying to her home where Roberto was resting. Before that, Albert and Maria did what Blu and Jewel did after talking to Liz. Enjoying each other's company.

Soon Liz made it to her home and found Roberto sleeping after a long day of patrolling. In public (if you can still call a couple of bird tribes public) he showed himself as a tough spirited guy, yet even after his phobia of humans was fixed, he was still a real lazy softy sometimes. And that was what Liz loved about him. She smiled and moved forward and slowly laid beside him. "Oh Beto. Oh Beto." He didn't respond but did feel tickled. "Beto. If you can hear my sweet loving voice then I'd like for you to wake up and look my sweet loving face." Roberto smiled to her words. He was awake and opened his eyes before giving Liz a good long kiss. They kissed the same way they always did, and for three years they've always done that, plus cuddled, slept, and would always comfort each other. The many reasons why Liz wanted to raise a family with him. After releasing from the kiss, Roberto started the conversation.

"How ya feeling, Lizzy?"

"Don't call me that…(chuckling)…I'm great. How 'bout you?"

"I think you should know that looking at your face in the morning light's up my day."

"Oh you charmer. Hmm…"

She rested her head on his chest and they both continued staring at each other.

"You look like you got something on your mind. You wanna tell me what's up?"

"Yeah. It's something I've had on my mind…ever since we made it official."

"Shoot."

"Alright. Now that I think about it, it's really two things. One…I'm jealous. I'm jealous of the friendship you have with Jewel."

"Really?"

"Yes. I know that's weird coming from me since I helped you get over the problem you had after you met me, but still when we became a couple I almost never got over how well you and Jewel knew each other. How good you both were as friends. I remember when Blu and Jewel told me about their 'back in time' story, and even you though you don't have feelings for her anymore, I just keep feeling like I knew exactly how Blu felt when he first met you. Thinking that he would lose the bird he loved. B-B-But I know you're not like that. I know that you're good, kind, and you would never betray me and that you would never make a mistake like before ever again. But…I'm sorry I think that."

Roberto showed a worried face. Until he smiled again.

"Hey. I know you are, and so am I. Believe there are times where even I doubt myself. I feel like I might make the same mistake again but I don't. And do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because I learn to trust that care about myself, and that the bird that I trust more than anyone in this big world…is you. Because of you, I try to keep myself intact and good because you care. And nothing'll change that. And thank you for telling me how you felt because I should've known. I'm sorry I didn't."

"Hmm…it's okay. Thank you, and just know that I still love you."

"I love you too. In fact, since we're open on at the moment, and unless you wanna tell me what the second thing is, I wanna tell ya something important."

"Well…"

They had the worried looks and didn't know what to say. They just looked away from each other, took a moment to breathe and release. Then they finally said together "I wanna raise a family with you!" There was a moment of pause, and the two lovers looked at each other with no more words. They were shocked to see that they had the same idea. They feared that one of them wouldn't wanna start so soon, but getting the truth out made them smile, and feel more ready than they already were.

So they brought their faces closer together. Liz felt like everything in her life was going to change more, while Roberto felt like he was gonna play a vulnerable goof. They nuzzled their beaks, shut their eyes, and smiled deeply.

"Roberto?"

"Yep?"

"Before we decide to take our time, do you promise to love me? To hold me, care for me, in sickness and in health? As long as we both shall live?"

"I do. And do you promise to do the same for me?"

"I do."

"Then, with the freedom of our lives and the freedom for us to choose to stay together and live on, I say we are now officially official."

"I would say so."

So from there, they kissed, and cuddled together, ready to take their time before finally taking their next step into their relationship. Raising a family. And after that, only their family could hope that things for both of them and their child would go on gracefully with their love.
