Starting point
Jewel and Eva took care of the chicks together while Blu flew to talk to Rafael. Jewel decided to move her chicks to Eva's nest so that her children could get to know Eva and Rafael's children. The blue macaw children immediately formed a fraternal bond with the little toucans and almost immediately after they met they played together without any quarrels.
"Oh, they're so sweet," said Jewel enthusiastically looking at the children playing.
"That's true," said Eva enthusiastically as well. Jewel allowed Eva at least to forget about the unpleasant situation with Rafael for the present moment. Eva was now really full of energy and happy, as you can see, children can relieve the pain. Jewel tried not to come back to this subject, she decided that everything would come at the right time.
Meanwhile, Blu and Rafael were returning home to Jewel and Eva, so that Rafael could apologize to his wife and reconcile.
"You know, I'm really nervous," said Rafael, somewhat confused with a mixed facial expression.
"What's your problem?" Blu asked.
"Usually it was me who helped others... It's a bit... Strange ...". The male answered. Blu was a little bit surprised by these words, then he had a small burst of laughter, but he managed to stop.
"Well, everyone needs help from the others as you can see," Blu said, trying to be serious. Rafael, seeing his friend's behaviour, sighed and then fell silent to focus on what was to happen. Blu while flying watched the city, not knowing why he liked to do it. To fly and observe human beings who are on the beach, on the sidewalk, on the street, simply everywhere.
"Everything will be good," said Blu comfortably.
"I hope" said Rafael with some fear.
"Not far away, focus on what you have to say and it will be good," Blu answered, and then they both focused on the way back. Meanwhile, Jewel and Eva had some rest, because after lunch every child fell asleep in their cradle. Jewel and Eva had the opportunity to talk in peace and quiet. However, they had to be quiet themselves, because one loud voice could cause a small herd of "beasts" to wake up.
"How do you think Blu will convince Rafael?" asked Eva. Jewel leaned gently to the right to see through the entrance to the nest if no bird was approaching them.
"He will advise, I believe in him. Blu has learned from people so-called psychological tricks... As far as it means something," said Jewel.
"Don't worry well. Rafael is certainly not that, he wouldn't abandon you, in the end you have so many beautiful children," continued Jewel to lift Eve's spirits. Her words actually worked because Eva's face became brighter.
"Thanks to ... Thanks to you, I believe that it will be good," Eve said with a modest smile. Jewel reciprocated her smile. Two females waited in silence for the arrival of two males, both waited with the same patience, but with a minute per minute this patience was getting smaller and smaller. Soon the first nervous reflexes began, Eva started walking around the room to be able to calm down. Jewel was seated politely for most of the time, but soon the first nervous reflexes appeared, in the form of rocking her leg.
"Will they surely arrive?" asked Eva insecurely. Jewel still looked at the court, but the sky was clean as if someone had carefully wiped them out of any dirt.
"Well, yes, it's clear that they'll come... It's just a matter of time," said Jewel, but she was already beginning to doubt the success of Blu's mission. Suddenly, when Jewel leaned out, she saw Blu and Rafael again. Which made her put an evil smile on her beak.
"Maybe if I, let's say 'Cause a humorous moment' It could be a positive start to their conversation". Jewel thought.
"They are flying! They are already there," said Jewel, excited, and Eva's heart has started beating faster.
"OK, we're almost on the spot, you know what to say?" Blu asked Rafael when they were already very close to Rafael's house.
"Yes... Clear... It's easy..." a half-conscious Rafael replied. Rafael was also very upset about the situation, but he tried to hide this fact. However, this behaviour did not escape the attention of Blu, who closely watched Rafael's behavior.
"Feel the samba in your heart. That's what you taught me". said Blu.
"It's a bit hard in such a situation," thought Rafael, who was a little nervous, but smiled at Blu. Soon Blu and Rafael landed on a platform in front of Rafael and Eva's house. Rafael was still looking at the setting sun for a few moments.
"Ready?" asked Blu.
"Ready" sighed Rafael, then both men went inside. When they entered, they noticed that every child was asleep. It was very useful information, because Blu was going to shout, as always, "Hi, Love!" However, Blu, considering the children, said the same, only that quieter. Eva and Jewel were already waiting for them on their armchairs. Eva was ready to talk, although she was very upset. Rafael stood still and did not move at all. He threw a stressed look at Blu, he patted him on his back pushing him forward.
"Erhm... Hi, my love. Hi," Rafael started unsurely.
"Hi... Rafi" said Eva with some stress.
Jewel then slowly looked to the corner of the room to see the children have woken up. And she put her 'Humorous moment plan' into action.
"Hey Kids! Blu said he wants to play horsy!" Jewel shouted with a humorous tone.
"WHAT?! NO I DIDNT!" Blu tried to answer back but it was too late.
"YAY! HORSY!" All the kids shouted together.
"NO! AHHH!" Blu screamed while being tackled by the children.
Rafael and Eva slightly chuckled, which gave them more confidence then before.
"I would like to apologize for that... I didn't want to say that," said Rafael with repentance.
"Well, not everyone can withstand it all," said Eva with a slight resentment, but Rafael did not react to these words.
"I'm really sorry... That's how it worked," said Rafael, but he was a bit more confident that he was able to find contact with his wife.
"I hope you won't coward again," said Eva with a malicious smile on her face. Rafael felt disgust at these words, in the end he wasn't scared of anything, he just needed some time for himself.
"Hey! I didn't coward, I just wanted to have some time for myself!" Rafael defended himself.
"Oh, and that's why you ran away from us," continued Eva.
"Okay, beloved...". He replied sadly, but nobody listened to him.
"It's going to end badly," thought Jewel when she saw the course of the toucans' conversation.
"I just wanted to be alone, or is it so hard to understand," said Rafael.
"That's why you came back here," Eva asked.
"Because I love you," said Rafael, but that didn't improve the situation.
"Because your conscience hurts you," asked Eva. Rafael couldn't stand and again let himself be carried away by emotions, which didn't surprise Jewel.
"So...That's how it is going to be? Making me fly away," Rafael said heartlessly.
"And please! Fly yourself, I don't need you!" Eva said in a raised tone. Rafael flew away from the hollow without saying anything, heading towards the city. The situation returned to the starting point, the nests were Eva, Jewel and the kids attacking Blu was. Eva was furious but also depressed.
The kids finally stopped playing with Blu and he stood up and watched Rafael flying away.
He rubbed his back saying "Why is it always me that gets attacked?" Blu of course saying this earned a glare and a slap on the back of his head from Jewel. "And for the love of Rio STOP DOING THAT!"
