Rio the series 5

Chapter 4 grumpy Blu

A fine morning across the Jungle of Rio De Janeiro. The two best friends, Blu the Macaw and Rico the Black Hawk (me) were flying together through the Jungle together. Rico was just in his usual mood: Joy-full and happy. Blu however, was the complete opposite from happy.

For the past couple of days, Jewel had spent most of her time at the Aviary for check-ups to make sure her health is good and has no problems at all. Tulio wanted to make sure her entire body was okay, due to Jewel being pregnant twice.

"I raise my flags, dye my clothes It's a revolution, I suppose. We'll paint it red to fit right in" Rico sang.

"Rico, would you PLEASE stop singing that song?" Blu annoyingly requested.

"Why don't you like my singing?" Rico inquired.

"It's not that," Blu replied, before letting off a tired yawn. "Without Jewel, I've been watching the kids, and they're hard to put to sleep at night."

"I know the feeling." Rico said.

Hearing that sentence, Blu turned his attention to Rico with a curios eyebrow raised. "Know the feeling? You don't even have kids."

"Blu, I have babysat Rafael's kids ON my own a couple of times." Rico explained, before looking back forward and seeing they were both almost home. "We're almost home."

"Yeah, and hopefully..." Blu paused and let off a yawn. "I can have a nice nap. Azul, Rey and Crystal went to Rafael's but Jessica is there now with my mom."

Rico nodded in response before they had finally got home. Rico flew over to his tree hollow and landed down inside. He took one quick look at Blu and waved Blu goodbye. "See ya, Blu."

"Bye, Rico." Blu replied, as he landed down in his hollow to see his mom and Jessica together. "Hey, Mom."

"Hi, Blu." Lara greeted, as Blu sat down in the nest.

"How was Jessica? Was she too much trouble?" Blu asked.

"No, she's like a little Angel." Lara replied, smiling, while gently stroking Jessica's head. Lara stood up in the nest and walked over out of the nest and over to the hollow exit/entrance. "I gotta go now. Bye, Blu."

"Bye, Mom." Blu said, as he bidden farewell to his mother. After she was gone, Blu wanted to have a little nap so laid back down in the nest. Blu tucked his head in his wings and closed his eyes and was ready to sleep.

Just when Blu thought he would have complete silence, he felt something poking the side of his stomach. Blu groaned and peaked his eyes open and saw Jessica, his youngest child, poking him to get his attention.

"Daddy?" Jessica said, still trying to get her father to turn his attention to her.

"Jessica, Daddy's very tired." Blu said, before rolling over onto his side.

"But, I'm hungry," Jessica said, as she stood on top of Blu's body.

Blu sighed and used his wing to pick her up and set her back down in the nest. "Jessica, I will get you something in a few minutes."

"But Daddy!" Jessica whined, but Blu was trying not to pay attention to her. "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

"Ugh, I can't take this anymore!" Blu thought as Jessica continued to whine. "Where's Jewel when you need her?"

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Jessica continued to whine.

Blu tried to cope with Jessica's winning but it was impossible. Blu could not take it anymore. He suddenly shot his eyes open and sat up in the nest and locked his eyes right onto Jessica and bellowed: "LOOK, JESSICA, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO ANNOYING?!"

Hearing her father yell like that, Jessica fell silent completely. She had never been yelled at before, she was no even a trouble maker. Her eyes were slowly beginning to fill up with water. She sat down in the nest and began to cry heavily as she could not believe Blu had just yelled at her.

Blu, who still had an angry face had just suddenly realised what he had done. Blu is normally kind-hearted, nice, a little shy and loved his wife and children no matter how bad they could be.

He couldn't stand to watch his youngest daughter, his baby girl cry in sadness. Blu changed his angry face into a sad and regrettable one and extended his wings out and scooted-up Jessica and held her into a hug as she slowly continued. "Jessica, I'm so sorry. Shhhh, don't cry. I didn't mean to shout at you. I'm sorry. Shhhh."

"I'm sorry, Daddy." Jessica apologized while crying.

"No, no, honey, I'm sorry. It was my fault completely." Blu whispered trying to keep her calm and to stop her crying.

"You hate me!" Jessica cried with even more tears coming out of her teal eyes.

"No, no, sweetie, I don't hate you. I love you." Blu reassured, as he lifted his wing up and gently stroked Jessica across her head. "I'm just been a little grumpy lately. Ok?"

Jessica slowly nodded in response and sniffed. "Ok."

Blu managed to put on at smile and looked down at Jessica, who had lifted her head up from Blu's chest, where she had left teardrops on Blu's chest feathers and beneath her eyes. Blu smiled and asked: "Jessica, sweetie, do you forgive me?"

Jessica thought it over for a couple seconds, but managed to put on a smile in return and could gladly except his apology. "I forgive you, Daddy."

"That's my girl." Blu smiled as he closed his eyes and hugged Jessica in his dark blue wings. Jessica closed her eyes with a smile and rested the side of her head on Blu's chest. Blu continued the hug and whispered to her: "I love you, Jessica."

"I love you, too, Daddy." Jessica cooed as she cuddled closer to her father.

The Blue Macaws father and daughter continued to hug each other as the minutes slowly went by. After Jessica had excepted his forgiveness, Blu didn't feel tired anymore and felt like he could hug Jessica all day long.

Awwwww. Blu may have yelled at Jessica but you all know he didn't mean it. Let's hope everything goes will for them both again. And here's a message to you people out there:

No matter how hard one of your families say they hate you or wished you were gone, they always still love you from the inside.

Well, chapter 5 coming soon. Stay tuned for an update.
