Hello again. I have decided to do a few chapters of this then finish my Spyro story so I can get that out of the way and focus on Rio, MY FAVOURITE FILM EVER. Anyway this chapter I'm sure people will be entertained, but even more entertained when I write about Blu x Jewel.
Chapter 14: Talks
Blu and Jewel are getting used to looking after the eggs, it is actually quite fun for them because it gives them a chance to talk about things and make each other blush, but only Jewel always succeeds in doing that as Blu can't think of random comments as Jewel always talks about playing hide and seek in one of the bushes next to tree just to make him blush. But she always comforts him when he needs it but it pays to have a laugh.
Blu and Jewel were in their hollow just talking in there usual conversations about anything but sometimes the eggs. "But Jewel why do we need to talk about names yet, it is too early and we would forget before they are born, we still have over two weeks and a half before they are predicted to hatch." Jewel however argued back because it is something to talk". Blu decided to end the argument, okay how about this, in two weeks we talk about names then we decide on what names to give our children."
Jewel thought about it but agreed "Okay you win, but only because I would probably forget what the names would be." Blu smiled triumphantly "Okay so shall I get some blackberries for us" Jewel smiled greatly "Yes please" Blu laughed a little as he lifted Jewel's mood higher. Blu flew out and grabbed a few blackberries from their secret blackberry spot as he thought to himself "Glad just me and Jewel only know where the blackberries are hidden."
Once he grabbed a load he flew back to the hollow and gave half of them to Jewel which she immediately stared eating however as she is no longer pregnant she is eating calmly now. For Which Blu is grateful that it was a temporary thing. Jewel was savouring the delicious taste of the blackberry she was currently eating. The sweet taste was the best sweet taste she ever tasted but she was torn on which was her favourite as Blackberry was sweeter but Mango was more filling so it was quite a contest.
Blu just ate his and saw Jewel still eating 2 more; he was amazed to have beaten Jewel this time but he knew she was thinking so it was understandable. Blu returned to watching Jewel as she finished her last Blackberry and then looked to Blu. Who was waiting for her Jewel smiled as she brought up another subject "So what do you think the children's behaviours will be like" Blu always wondered what the answer would be "I am hoping they are all well behaved, and not awkward".
Jewel grinned "I agree with you on the well-behaved but I hope they have a little free-spirit in them aswell" Blu grinned as Jewel suggested that "You would want that" Jewel didn't understand at first "What do you mean by that" Blu just gave her an awkward face before answering "Think about it, your free-spirited and just wanted to be free so that is why". Jewel realised what he mean't and giggled as she didn't realise that "I guess you are right. But I realised something very important" Blu wondered what I was "And what would that be" Jewel immediately responded "You can only experience true freedom with someone. And I am experiencing that freedom with you". Blu blushed as Jewel leaned in and brought their beaks together for a kiss as it seemed like a perfect moment for one. Another point for Jewel on making Blu blush.
What Jewel doesn't understand though is why Blu still blushes even after they mated but she was now going to find out. When they separated again Jewel spoke "Blu why do you blush still" Blu didn't know how to answer and looked in random directions trying to find out an answer that won't make him feel embarrassed "I mean we have shared romantic moments together like sunsets, Shared countless kisses and awkward moments together, we have even mated which is the highest commitment of Love to your partner and you still blush at things when you should be confident, I'm curious as to why"
Blu knew she was right but he still didn't know how to answer "Um...well…um" Jewel was waiting for an answer "Come on Blu, I'm your mate, you can tell me anything, even if it was the most awkward comment in the world." Blu decided to get it over with "Well I still blush because…well I feel nervous all the time about this stuff, I admit I have got more confidence since I first got together with you but still nervous".
Jewel smiled as she looked at him "I guess my nervous bird will always be nervous about the good stuff" Blu once again blushed for which Jewel grinned again. Blu however spoke again "Okay now you are just doing it on purpose". Jewel giggled "I might be" Blu smiled as they continued on with their talks.
Meanwhile at another hollow….
Azura, Jonas, Cortez and Pearl were all having a chat about lots of things "But Pearl it is a proven fact that the males are stronger, faster and evasive." Pearl grinned "Yes Cortez but Females are more intelligent, good-looking and sensible." Cortez argued "Not intelligent, we all know Blu is more smart then any of us, I mean have you heard how many big words he used the other day".
Pearl spoke "But he is an exception, that means females are the smarter side but he is an exception." Cortez smiled "Okay I admit they are more sensible and good looking" Pearl giggled from the compliment "Thanks Brother" Cortez and Pearl shared a hug before turning to their mother and father who were also in an argument
"No Jonas, Blu is needed with Jewel, and we are not all going because Jewel needs her space to care for the eggs." Azura has become more serious when Jewel layed the eggs and becomes strict when the topic is about Blu and Jewel. "But Meu Amor, can't Blu just come visit us for a moment, we all want to see him and wonder how he is doing. We are keen to get to know him better."
Azura decided to make a deal "Okay how about this; If I bring Blu here I am going to spend the time with Jewel so she isn't alone okay". Jonas nodded "Deal, but I will come and get him so you don't have to make two trips." Azura nodded as while being followed by Jonas.
Cortez and Pearl looked to each other and smirked "Is it me or does mom and Dad always have something to argue about and then agree on it." Pearl nodded in agreement "Yeah but I think that is why they love each other because they always agree with each other" Pearl looked back to what Jewel mentioned by other options the other day but every time she mentioned it to Jewel she would blank it away, but Pearl is curious to find out what she means. As whatever she mean't will be important to Pearl.
Pearl spoke to Cortez "I'll be back in a minute, I need to ask Jewel something" Cortez nodded as Pearl left to catch up with Azura and Jonas.
Back with Blu and Jewel…
Jewel was still resting on the eggs, keeping them nice and warm. Blu was still sitting next to Jewel "But Blu why is it you need to comment on what happens between Mom and Dad". Blu smirked at her "Come on you have got to admit that it is amusing to watch them argue and then agree in the end which makes the argument a complete waste of time."
Jewel laughed a little as he was sort of right "It is probably because Age is starting to get to them a little bit as they are nearly in their mid 40's, they decided to have me and the others in their late 20's." Blu spoke however "Yeah but us Blue Macaws can live up to a life span of 60 at the most" Jewel smiled "That means you have spent a quarter of your life with Linda." Blu smiled at Jewel "And I will spending 3 quarters of my life with you." Jewel smiled deeply "And it will be the best time ever to have you with me plenty of time with the children, plenty of fun, plenty of love." Blu smiled and nodded as Jewel said another thing "And best of all plenty of alone time."
Blu blushed from that as Jewel grinned at him "Yep I said it, and I mean it" Blu blushed by stopped as he gave her an evil smile "And a lot of punishment for you will be involved in alone time" Jewel giggled by the comment as it was the first confident thing he said "You are making progress with your confidence."
Blu smiled as he realised he did and said "Well it takes time but yeah I am starting to get the hang of it a little." When he finished they both saw Azura, Jonas and Pearl enter "Hey Blu we were wondering if you would like to come over to our Hollow, just to talk and you know have some family talk". Both Jewel and Blu were surprised and confused but Blu accepted "Sure but who will keep Jewel company." Azura quickly spoke "I will, the Boys want to talk badly." Pearl spoke up "me too but I need to ask Jewel something in private first." They all dismissed it as a girl talk. Azura spoke "Sure but when you finish just let me know." Jonas turned to Blu "Follow me to ours Blu, Cortez is waiting and Pearl will rejoin us shortly after her talk with Jewel." Blu nodded as both he and Jonas flew out of the Hollow while Azura stood at the entrance.
Pearl sat next to Jewel as she waited for him "I want to know what you mean't by other options on our talk the other day" Jewel tried to dismiss it "It was nothing, really". Pearl glared at her "Jewel, the truth". Jewel sighed in defeat "Okay, well we both know that Blu may be the only non-related male, well I know this sounds a little odd but in these circumstances as our numbers are very thin, maybe you should look at maybe related males."
Pearl was shocked at what she mean't "Cortez and Jollo, but they are our brothers, that would be incest" Jewel stood to her point "I know that but remember that Incest is only bad with humans, not birds, and besides in these circumstances it may be your only option to be mated to a Blue macaw."
Pearl had never thought about that before in her life, she said to Jewel "Yes incest doesn't affect us and yes it may be my only option but…. It just seems weird… to pair up with your brother." Jewel reassured her "Look Pearl I'm sure you will make the right decisions in the future whatever you decide to do". Pearl smiled and hugged her sister "Thanks Jewel, I'm going to think for a while, it is still a lot to take in". Jewel nodded as Pearl walked over to her mother "Okay mom you can go in now" Pearl said as she took off to rejoin the boys where she would try to think about what Jewel has just told her.
Back at Jonas's Hollow…
Blu and Jonas were just landing into the Hollow to find Cortez in the hollow having a short rest as he had nothing to do. Jonas however had another idea "Hey Blu watch and learn on how to deal with your son, show you how deal with your son if you have one if he is asleep during the day" Blu just stood there as Jonas walked over to Cortez and put his beak next to Cortez's face "WAKEY,WAKEY". Cortez jumped over with a bit of a scream. Now lying against the wall of the Hollow, breathing quickly. He was looking at his dad with a very scared face.
He glared at his Dad "What was that for". Jonas chuckled as Blu looked amused by it "Yeah Jonas I think that was a good example." Jonas looked at Cortez "That was to wake you up". Cortez recovered himself from the massive fright and sat down and sarcastically said "Thanks" Everyone sat down and waited. Cortez spoke to Blu "So how is it being a mated man" Blu smiled "Absolutely amazing, best time of my life". Jonas nodded in agreement "Yep when I met Azura, it completely changed my life, it is wonders."
Cortez sighed "I'm Jealous, you two have mates while I don't, I'm being left out of the experience" Blu and Jonas smirked before Jonas said "Don't worry I'm sure you will eventually find someone" Cortez spoke up though "But who, if you haven't noticed our numbers are quite short, and there isn't any unrelated females left of our species so I am a lost cause" Blu felt bad for Cortez, he gets the privilege of having a mate while Cortez doesn't "Just keep hoping, who knows, one day you may be surprised."
Cortez smiled at Blu "Thanks Blu, maybe something might". When they finished Jonas brought up another question "So how is Jewel doing, that Azura doesn't tell us" Blu thought about it before answering " Well you already know that a few days ago she layed the eggs." Cortez smiled as he interrupted "Wow so I will become an uncle." Blu smiled before continuing "Now she is just caring for them while I go and get some food but sometimes she might and I watch the eggs. And as the worried mother she is Azura makes the usual visits to see how me and Jewel are coping with the eggs and we tell her we are fine. Jewel however is getting a little irritated from her asking the same questions and visiting so much, she is glad she comes but would rather not have her worrying about us so much"
Jonas chuckled "Yep that is my Azura, she acted the exact same when you lot were in your eggs, Cortez, and she was so worried she would do something wrong and I had to keep calming her down, It shows she cares deeply at least, It was quite amusing sometimes but I don't think I need to go into the details". Cortez and Blu both laughed at the comment.
Cortez spoke up "I remember once when one of us fell out of the tree, specifically me and landed on my back in the leaves. Mom came down looking for me and panicking about it. She was found me and kept questioning if something was wrong and if it was her fault". Jonas laughed "I Remember, I'm glad she doesn't worry like that anymore. But I guess it is worrying about our grandchildren now thanks to a certain pair". Both him and Cortez both eyed Blu but he defended himself "Hey if we want to have children, we will" They all laughed before Jonas replied "Yep and I am glad I will be a Grandfather."
After they all finished pearl came landing into the Hollow "Hey guys". Cortez smiled as he said "Did you get an answer from Jewel". Pearl nodded "Yep I'm glad but I have some thinking to do about it". Cortez nodded as Jonas spoke to Blu "Anyway Blu how did you make your way through life".
Blu didn't know what to say as Jewel told him it was best to hide the fact that he used to live with a Human as her family has had a bad experience with Humans and Jollo had problems with Pets in the past so He would go fuming at Blu. "Well when I was a little chick, smugglers attempted to capture me but I was rescued by a Scarlet Macaw who raised me for 10 years, and then I carried on, on my own. I never knew my parents, nor do I know why they weren't with me, Eventually though 4 months ago I came across Rio and was intending to pass on through but then Humans believing I was he last Male took me away and I ended up in the same place as Jewel and that was how we met".
Jonas was in awe as he put a wing over Blu "Wow you have spent 5 years on your own, but I guess your confidence, isn't very good however as you haven't known many birds." Blu nodded as Jonas continued "But I guess you are improving". Blu smiled "Yeah, I guess Jewel has something to do with that". They all chuckled just the same time as Jollo was entering the Hollow "Hey guys I'm back from the….." He stopped as he saw Blu and glared "What is he doing here" Everyone except Blu who was worried as to why Jollo was acting like this. Jonas defended him "Do we have a problem here Jollo"
Jollo nodded "Yes I do, he is apparently new to us and your letting him into the Hollow" Jonas moved in front of Blu as Jollo approached Blu, Cortez spoke "Yes he is a part of our family now Jollo, He is Jewel's mate, what is your problem". Jollo seeing they weren't backing him turned around "nothing I was just on my way out." Jollo went out the hollow as everyone was annoyed "What is it with him"
Jonas spoke next "Ever since we found Jewel and Blu, he has been acting weird and for some reason very poor to you" He said referring to Blu "I don't know maybe he just needs time to get to know me" Everyone agreed with it. "Anyway I better be going now, Jewel will be starting to get worried. Everyone nodded "Hey sometime we should all go to the club." Blu stopped "But the eggs". Jonas talked quickly "Isn't there a friend who can look after them for a bit"
Blu remembered that Eva was willing to help him and Jewel "I have a friend I will ask her if we decide to but not yet, me and Jewel want to look after the eggs for a bit". Everyone nodded at him as he took off from the hollow. But outside he saw Jollo eyeing him. Blu groaned as he flew over and landed next to him "What do you want Jollo, if you're here to have a go at me just leave it". Blu was about to take off before he spoke "I need you to do something". Blu stopped as he turned back to Jollo "I want you to break up with Jewel"
Blu had wide eyes as Jollo was even considering such a thing "Excuse me". Jollo responded "Jewel isn't ready for this kind of commitment yet, she has just found her family and she should be spending time getting to know is again, not continuing to be alone from us". Blu responded "She isn't alone, she has me" Jollo responded "She is in a vulnerable state of mind right now. She has been alone on her own for years and before that she was nervous around others, and she wasn't comfortable sometimes when interacting with other birds. She needs to right now, be with her family here and become confident."
Blu was disgusted by this "But she is confident right now" Jollo shuck his head and glared "To pretend everything is okay" He pointed angrily at him "You took advantage of my sister when she was in her vulnerable state, now she won't admit she needs us" Blu angrily looked at him "I know you are her brother and you are looking out for her, but who gave you he right to play god over her, she deserves to make her own decisions" Jollo getting annoyed grabbed him by the throat and pinned him on the tree "I am not playing god I am protecting my sister, End it with her and let find someone who deserves her which filth like you don't, this is your only warning" After that Jollo let go of him and left.
Blu was left confused by what happened. Jollo wants him to end it with Jewel. "No way am I leaving Jewel to let her tend to the eggs on her own, besides we love each other, I don't know what Jollo's problem is but I won't listen to him"
Blu was annoyed that Jollo is behaving like this, but Blu decided to ignore him and took off back to the Hollow. When he arrived Jewel and Azura were sitting there. Jewel smiled and got up and went over to him "Hello Meu Amor how was it" Blu smiled "Good we had some interesting conversations. Jewel smiled and gave Blu a kiss before returning to the eggs.
Blu sat next to Jewel as Azura spoke "Well it is sunset now I better get back before it is night, I will see you both another time" Blu and Jewel nodded as Azura launched herself out of the Hollow and left. Blu looked back to Jewel who was preening her wing before turning to him "So what happened" Blu told Jewel about just one of the conversations "Well they were all keen to know about my past" Jewel looked concerned "You didn't tell them did you, I don't know how they will react to it" Blu calmed her "No I didn't I told them a Scarlet Macaw raised me for ten years and I then lived on my own travelling the country"
Jewel sighed in relief and leaned against Blu while closing her eyes "Good I don't know how hey will react, but we will have to tell them eventually but I want them to get to know you better as your current self before we tell them, I intend to tell Mom first as she is the kindest and the most understanding". Blu nodded as he sat wondering what will happen in the next couple of days.
exhilarating isn't it, Jollo is finally making advances on Blu, but I will not yet reveal the real reason he doesn't like Blu, Actually two but that was one of them that he talked about, and Yes either next chapter or the one after yes a special visit somewhere is planned. Until then thank you for reading and please review.
