Chapter 22
meeting someone new
Blu felt a sudden feeling in his heart. It was more of a bad feeling than a good feeling. Blu couldn't really understand this feeling. He felt that he wouldn't be able to breathe, but whenever he attempted to. He could breathe just fine. Blu's breathing became shaky as he stared at the baby female blue Spix Macaw.
"Daddy." Blu thought of these words. These words scared him, he didn't completely understand them. He didn't even know where he was. The Blue Spix Macaw still smiled at Blu. Blu's eyes stared in shock at the Blue Spix Macaw. The Blue Spix Macaw began to walk towards him. Blu stood completely still as she did this. The female Spix Macaw quickly waddled over to Blu. When she reached Blu she hugged Blu tightly, wrapping her arms around his neck and bringing herself up. Blu almost collapsed with the added weight but managed to keep his balance. The baby Spix Macaw was so short she was brought off the ground whenever she hugged Blu. She buried the side of her face in Blu soft chest.
"Dad you're finally awake," The baby Spix Macaw said to him. Blu didn't understand what finally awake meant, but he didn't really care about that right now.
"Daddy?" Blu whispered to himself. Then Blu began to think, and that's when he felt that he was about to cry.
"Daddy, daddy? These are my kids? These are my kids? Mine and Jewel's kids. Oh my god, Oh my god. Where was I, how could I have left them?"
Blu slowly hugged the Spix Macaw back in shock, wrapping his warm wings around his child. The baby Spix Macaw looked up at Blu. Blu noticed this, he looked down at his child in his still shocked expression. Blu stared into his child's Hazel eyes.
"Where's Mommy. She's such a sleepyhead. She's going to be so happy when she finds out that you're awake," the female Spix Macaw told Blu. Blu tried his best not to cry. He looked away from his child and hugged her harder. Not too hard though. Blu then Laid the baby Spix Macaw on the ground. She stood on her talons and looked up at her dad with a smile still on her face. Her wings to her side. Blu looked down at her. He opened his beak as he thought of what to say.
"What do I say," Blu thought to himself in a hurry "What do I say to her." Blu asked her the only thing that came to mind.
"Why are you up this late, shouldn't you be sleeping," Blu asked her with a smile. She let out a moan of anger.
"It's only like, 10:00," She said angrily at first but then her angriness faded when she thought about what time it actually was.
"Seems a little too late," Blu said to her. She moaned in frustration once again at her dad.
"But Carla and Tiago stay up late as well," Bia told her father. This sentence that she told Blu made him think back in the past to another moment.
"We're going to have 3 kids," The voice of Jewel told Blu in a sad expression. Not sad about having kids, more worried about what Blu would think of it. When Bia said this it stunned Blu. But he tried to keep himself together.
"You wanna know something dad," Bia asked her father. Blu smiled at Bia and nodded his head at her. "This is my first time having a real conversation with you in around 152.083 days," Bia told her father. Blu stared down at Bia with a surprised expression on his face, but then it quickly faded into a smile.
"Wow, you must be really smart," Blu told Bia with a smile. Her smile deepened when she heard Blu say this.
"That's what mom says," Bia said to her father, "She told me a lot about you." Blu eyed Bia with a curious jokey look.
"Oh, yea," Blu said in a sarcastic curious tone. Bia giggled a little when Blu said this. "Like what," Blu asked her.
"Well," Bia said as she thought of the things that Jewel had told her about Blu since Bia, Carla or Tiago couldn't talk to Blu without getting a response from him. "She said that you are really smart," Bia told Blu. Blu's smile deepened when he heard Bia say this.
"Did she now," Blu said in a happy tone to Bia. Bia nodded her head at Blu.
"She also said that you were a nerd," Bia said and then immediately covered her beak with her wings, trying not to laugh. Blu chuckled a little bit after Bia told him this. Blu scratched the back of his head.
"Of course she did," Blu said to himself. Bia removed her wings away from her beak and began to tell her father more things.
"She said that you were very romantic and that you are the love of her life," Bia said in a serious tone. Blu stared down at Bia. Blu let these words sink in. These words meant a lot to him.
"You know, Ummm," Blu said as he thought of the bird's name that he was talking to. He didn't know her name since he's never spoken to Bia before.
"Oh," Bia said as she realized what Blu was struggling with. Bia cleared her throat politely and smiled at her father. "I'm Bia," She said, introducing herself. "Blu smiled at Bia.
"Bia," Blu said to her "You look exactly like your mother," Blu told Bia. Bia's smile deepened as she blushed a little bit.
"I know," Bia told her father with a smile, "Mom tells me I do."
"Where are Tiago and Carla," Blu asked in a concerned tone. Blu would like to meet them as well. He was sure that it would be amazing to meet them both like it was meeting Bia. Even though Blu has only known Bia for about 5 minutes. He was convinced that he couldn't have asked for a better daughter.
"They're Probably snuck out somewhere like me," Bia told her father honestly.
"I see, well where's mom," Blu asked Bia.
"Sleeping," Bia responded quickly. Blu stared at Bia with a confused look.
"Where's she sleeping too," Blu asked Bia for a specific location of where Jewel actually was.
"In our house outside, I seriously doubt that she'll wake up, she's a deep sleeper," Bia told Blu. Blu smiled down at Bia. He nodded his head at her in response.
"Yea, I know," Blu said to Bia "Is she doing okay?" the smile faded on Bia's face as she looked away from Blu.
"Well, she tries her best to stay happy. But she really misses you," Bia told Blu honestly. Blu looked off into the distance when Bia said this.
"I should probably go see her, I really miss her too," Blu told Bia with a smile. Bia smiled up at her father and opened her beak as if she was about to say something. But was interrupted by a voice in the distance.
"Carla, Bia, Tiago? Where are you," Jewel's voice called out in the distance? Blu's smile faded quickly as he heard Jewel's voice. Not that he wasn't happy to hear her voice, but he was really worried about what Jewel would say when she was him. Blu didn't even know what was happening. He just woke up all of a sudden like he's been sleeping for a long time. But why, why did it seem that time passed by so quick. Bia turned around quickly and cupped her wing over her beak to make her voice louder.
"Over here mom," Bia shouted out to her mother. Blu stood perfectly still. He swallowed a large lump forming in the back of his throat. When Blu saw Bia, she appeared from behind a counter, so Blu stared in that same area and waited for Jewel to appear. Blu felt his throat slowly get drier. Jewel appeared from around the corner with an unhappy look on her face.
"Bia what are you-" Jewel's voice slowly faded as she didn't finish her sentence. Her eye's widened in shock as she stared at the bird who stood beside her. At first, Jewel thought that she wasn't seeing correctly. She blinked a couple of times. Jewel noticed the smile spread across Bia's beak. Jewel stood completely still as she stared at Blu.
"There's mommy," Bia said as she stared up at her father. Blu chuckled nervously as he stared at Jewel. He scratched the back of his head with his left-wing.
"Hey, Jewel."
