Chapter 10:

Blu and Jewel were flying around. They've found a total of three unoccupied hollows in the area and owed about sixteen apologies to birds that they accidently intruded on.

"Sorry, sorry again." Blu said as he backed out of another hollow.

"Don't you ever come by ever again, y'all hear me!?"

"Yes, yes ma'am." He said and flew off. The three hollows they found unoccupied wouldn't hold a family that Blu and Jewel would eventually have, but they weren't really good for the two of them either because of the small size.

"BLU! I found one!" Jewel shouted. Blu started flying towards Jewel. He saw her, and the hollow she was in.

"Pretty, big, lots of room, safe, hidden…" Blu prattled through his checklist.

"Come on, let's start the nest." Jewel said as she tugged at his wing.

"Oh, uh, how?" Blu asked.

"What do you mean how?" Jewel said in an annoyed tone.

"Sorry, it's not my fault I never had to build one before." Blu said. "Mainly because I didn't have someone to share it with." He mumbled under his breath.

Jewel heard. She gave him a kiss. "Now you do." She said and grinned. "Now, come on, let's teach you how to build a nest. You go get the materials as I start it."

"Okay, so, uh, wh-what do I look for?"

"Sticks. Vines. Moss." Jewel said and giggled.

"Ah, okay, some moss, sticks, and Vines coming up." He said. "Moss, vines, sticks. Moss, vines sticks. Moss, vines, sticks…" Jewel heard him mumble as he flew off.

That's Blu. She thought. I guess that confidence goes away without Sapphire here. A few hours later, Blu had collected a lot of sticks and vines, but not any moss.

"Blu, we need moss! For a sort of insulation."

"Yeah, but if you don't want to be lunch for an Alligator, then let's find another alternative please."

Jewel got a despicable idea. "Silk. Why not silk."

"Where would we find silk?" Blu asked. "We're in the jungle." Jewel rolled her eyes.

"Spider silk." Jewel said. Blu froze in place.

"Wh-wha-a-a-a…" he couldn't finish his sentence.

"Spider silk. Now go on. We need moss or spider silk." Blu gulped and flew out of the nest.

"I think I'll be a gator's dinner then." Blu mumbled under his breath as he flew away.

"Jewel!" Someone shouted. "Blu!" It was Mary and John.

"Over here!" Jewel shouted. Mary and John flew in.

"Where's Sam?" John said.

"Who?" Jewel asked in confusion.

"Your husband! Where is your husband!"

"Blu?" Jewel said.

"Yes!" Both John and Mary shouted in union.

Jewel was a bit cornered. She was starting to freak out a bit. Especially for Blu's safety. "He should be back any minute." Jewel said.

Just then, Blu flew into the nest, wrapped up in spider silk. "I will never again! No sir. Ick. Oh, hi Mrs. Mary and… oof!"

"You're alive! After all these years you're alive!" John said as he and Mary embraced Blu.

"Blu,what's going on!?"

"I-I'm not sure Jewel."

"You've gotten so big. So handsome. Hasn't he John?" Mary said.

"Yep. Oh Sam."

"I'm Blu, I don't know a Sam." Blu coughed out by being squeezed very tightly.

"Oh, I almost forgot. You're…" John didn't finish.

"Samuel? The lost son Sam of the jungle?" Jewel quickly stated.

"Yeah. How…?" Mary started to say.

"Sam who now?" Blu asked.
