A Merry Christmas in Rio
Chapter 2: Christmas Day
Did everyone enjoy the last chapter? I hope you did and enjoy what I have to offer for the rest of the story. :D If anyone would like any questions to this story, feel free to question me in the Personal Messaging Inbox.
The sounds of excited cheers awoken Blu from his peaceful, loving sleep. He struggled for a few seconds to open his eyes before smiling when he saw his three beautiful children jumping up and down on him like he was a bouncy castle.
Their little voices called out to their father in excitement as they continued to jump on him to wake him up quicker. "Dad, Dad, Dad! It's Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas, kids." Blu smiled, using both of his wings to bring himself up from where he was laying against the couch after a good night's sleep with his family.
All but Bia finished jumping on their father, and his daughter enthusiastically asked if they could open their gifts now Blu had got for them. "Dad, can we open our gifts, now?!"
"You can after you all have your breakfast." Blu answered, knowing well fact that neither of them had anything to eat yet. After all, they would need their strength for Christmas day. "Now, let's go. I will make us all something to eat."
Lucky for Blu, he, Jewel, and their children had the bookstore all to themselves. Linda, Tulio, and their adoptive son Fernando were at Tulio's folks house to celebrate Christmas day. But did lock up of course.
The three chicks were too excited to wait but presents would have to wait, and breakfast would have to come first. They all flapped their wings to ascend into the air before they flew away into the kitchen.
Blu got up onto his talons and was greeted by the lovely Jewel, who was waiting patiently for him to wake up after she and the kids were up before he was.
She smiled as she moved her wings around the back of her lovehawk's neck. Jewel leaned her beak forward and whispered into Blu's eardrum. "Merry Christmas, Blu."
Blu took it upon his cue to move his wings around Jewel. He smiled as they both were standing at the same height, gazing upon each other's eyes.
The lovebirds moved their beaks closer to each other, both hoping to get that kiss they did not get to romantically share with each other the previous night.
As their beaks got closer, closer, and closer by the second, a loud yell came from out of the kitchen. It was Tiago, who called out to his mother and father, wondering if his dad was coming to make any breakfast soon. "Dad, are you coming to make breakfast?"
Like last time, their kiss was soon accidentally ruined again by their children. The two lovebirds decided yet again their kiss would have to wait.
"I guess some other time." Jewel sighed, releasing her wings from around the back of her mates wings and placing them back to her sides.
"Yeah, some other time." Blu unwillingly agreed, retracting his wings back to his sides too.
To quickly change the subject, he offered Jewel to make breakfast for her and their children. "Hey, Jewel, how about I make you breakfast?"
"Sounds good to me." she agreed, bowing down to her mate while gesturing her left wing towards the kitchen for her mate. "Lead the way, lovehawk."
Blu smiled in response and played along with Jewel's little play acting. He took Jewel's wing in his own and held it gently while escorting her to the kitchen like a true gentleman would. "After you, M'lady."
"Why, thank you, lovehawk." Jewel said smiling, extending her other wing out from her side before she and her mate flapped their wings and flew towards the kitchen together like the lovebirds they were.
After the family of blue macaws finished their breakfast together (that was pancakes and hot chocolate) it was now time for their children to open their presents together, not being able to hold in their excitement any longer.
For their first Christmas together, both Blu and Jewel had discussed as a couple what their chicks enjoy as gifts this year. Jewel could not really think of anything to get for them , but Blu thought of the perfect gifts for each of them. However, he did not want Jewel to look like a bad mother so like the kind-hearted bird he was, Blu decided to make their children's presents as a gift from both of them.
The three chicks flew towards the Christmas tree Linda had set up for Blu and his family before she left with Tulio and Fernando to celebrate Christmas with Tulio's folks.
Blu and Jewel smiled as they watched their children open on their gifts. Blu held out a little camera to take some pictures of these beautiful moments.
Jewel rolled her eyeballs around when she noticed Blu was taking pictures of their children and decided to ask why. "Blu, why are you taking pictures of our children?"
"This is our first Christmas together as a family, Jewel, and I want it to be remembered forever." Blu explained to his beloved mate while he tried to figure out why his camera was not flashing. "Trust me; you will look back on this one day and realize how beautiful this was."
"Alright, alright." Jewel agreed, raising her wings in surrender to keep her mate from yapping away any further. "Take all the pictures you like-"
Jewel was cut off from her sentence and spooked a little when a bright, flashing light flashed into her eyes from the camera Blu was holding to pictures of. She rubbed her eyes with her wings to get her sight back and looked towards, Blu, who was fearful hiding behind the camera, hoping Jewel was not angry.
Jewel smiled in response as she placed a single wing on her hip and closed her eyes halfway. She leaned forward towards Blu and pecked the side of his beak like a human would peck someone on the cheek.
She whispered into his eye while placing her one wing around his back. "You are so lucky you are cute, Blu."
Before long, the two blue macaws returned their attention towards their children, watching them open up their gifts using their beak, wings, and even their talons to dig their way into them.
Carla was the first to open her present, being the most enthusiastic one out of them all. She ripped off the wrappings from around her gift and opened up the box before a huge smile raised upon her beak.
She squaled a little as she pulled out her gift from the box that was a portable music player, or simple know as a IPod. She held her new gift close to her while looking towards her father. "Is this your IPod, Dad?"
Blu flew his way towards his eldest daughter to answer her question for her. He placed his wing onto her and demonstrated the IPod to her.
For Carla, Blu knew how much she loved to listen to music through his IPod so he decided to get her her own personal eyepod.
"No, Carla. This IPod is yours." Blu answered, smiling as he handed her the IPod into both of her wings with some earphones too. "I know how much you like to listen to my music from my IPod, so me and your mother decided to buy you your personal Ipod."
"Thanks Dad." Carla thanked, placing her wings onto her fathers rounded belly and hugged him as a way of saying "Thank you" to him.
"You are welcome, sweetie." Blu smiled, stroking his eldest daughter's head softly with his right wing.
Tiago finally got his gift open next that turned out to be a very small box. He arched a curious eyebrow while he opened up the box and pulled out it's content's that were a small pair of old-fashioned brown flying goggles with yellow lenses.
He examined them closely, not understanding what they were exactly. "Mom, Dad, what are these?"
Blu playfully nudged Jewel a little to beckon for her to go and explain to their son what they were exactly.
Jewel walked towards Tiago and kneeled down towards him to demonstrate what they were and what they did. "Tiago, these are flying goggles. You put them on over your eyes. You said you always have trouble flying sometimes because your eyes hurt. So me and your father got you these to protect your eyes better."
"Ohhh." Tiago said, now understanding what they were and what they did. He picked up the goggles and pulled the strap over the back of his head and placed the goggles over his eyes, and they fitted him just perfect. "Wow, these are great."
The young chick hugged his mother and rested his head down onto her stomach. He thanked her for this incredible gift that may help him for a long time of his wife. "Thanks, Mom."
"You are welcome, honey." Jewel smiled, placing both of his beautiful wings around her only son to return the hug.
Last but not least, Bia was the only one left to open her gift too. She was struggling a little to open her present but in the end, she finally got it open.
Bia unwrapped her gift to see it was a small brown book with the title labeled 'amazonÃa' across it. In English, that would be 'amazon'.
Blu knew that Bia and him were almost alike-even the exact same with their intelligence. He always noticed how she liked to read books and research information from Linda's books.
So what could be better than to get her her very own book that was her size too?
"Hey, it's an amazon book!" Bia enthusiastically yelled, hugging the book close to her body in her tiny wings while she jumped for joy in the spot what was standing on. "I love reading! And I love the amazon!"
"Indeed you do, sweet pea." Blu agreed, knowing how much she loved to read books and other various information about all kinds of different types of topics. He placed his wings around Bia and hugged her close to him.
Bia cooed as she placed her tiny wings onto her father's chest, returning the hug too.
Blu and Jewel both smiled while looking at their three chicks, happy that they loved their gifts that they had gotten them for Christmas. The two lovebirds moved away out from their kids' sights for a little privacy.
The two blue macaws flew up towards the couch where the kids could not see them from the height as long as they did not fly up too. But they looked pretty occupied with their gifts.
When they were out of their sight, Jewel moved her wings around Blu's neck and Blu moved his wings around Jewel's back, both of them preparing to finally get that kiss they were suppose to share with each other the night before.
"Now, shall we continue that kiss we wanted?" Jewel inquired towards her mate, smiling as she studied her surroundings to make sure nothing was going to interrupt them this time.
"Let's." Blu agreed, also smiling across this beak, ready to share a romantic kiss with his beautiful mate.
The two lovebirds moved their beaks closer towards each other until finally, after waiting for a long while, they finally got their kiss. They locked their beaks into each other's and kissed passionately just like their very first.
To Blu, this was still a little shocking to him. He was still not exactly use to him and Jewel kissing, but soon, he got the hang of it, and managed to keep himself relaxed. He quietly thought to himself while him and Jewel were still kissing. "(Oh, wow, we are kissing! Okay, Blu, just relax. You got this.)"
After a few seconds had passed, the blue macaws finally exited the kiss they had been sharing for at least thirty seconds, and released each other out of their wings together.
"Blu, I love you so much."Jewel cooed, smiling as she placed both of her wings back to her sides.
"I, um, I thanks Jewel." Blu agreed while he stuttered a little to get his words out from his beak. "I love you too."
"Come on." she said, taking his wing in her own and dragging him from the couch and back onto the ground to be with their children. "Let us enjoy our Christmas together; as a family."
Now that Blu and Jewel had received their Christmas gifts that was the beautiful love they shared together, they and their children could spend the rest of the remaining day together, and hopefully have the best Christmas of their lives.
Alright, that about wraps-up chapter 2. The three children each got those gifts they wanted. For those who may be wondering why they had those gifts, it is because the three kids are seen using them in the trailers and screenshots to Rio 2.
Bia is reading a book with glasses on.
Carla is listening to her music while watching the TV.
Tiago is seen wearing those goggles when flying with his family and when he was riding a ostrich.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and hope you look forward to the rest of the story. I am not sure how long and how many chapters this will be but we will have to wait and see. Stay tuned.
