Hello again. I have updated quickly. I am making an important note here. I am planning a sequel to this story but I have decided that I am going to complete this story and all my other stories first and then begin it so I can concentrate on it fully instead of dealing with other stories at the same time. It may be a pain of a wait but then I can focus on it fully and less waiting for chapters to update so everyone wins ;).
Chapter 16: Confessions.
In Blu and Jewels hollow, the couple have been preparing themselves and spending more time in the hollow to prepare themselves for the children as the day of their hatching is drawing near and to get them used to staying in the hollow for a while as they would have to. But today Jewel and Blu has something to take care of today, well two for Blu if it occurs today.
They have agreed to confess Blu's past to the family as they don't deserve to be lied to but they are unsure of how they would react to it, however they are going to tell Azura and Jonas first as they would probably be more understanding. But for now they were relaxing in their hollow looking after the eggs.
Jewel was finishing her mango for the morning while sitting on the eggs and Blu was just looking outside wondering how things will turn out with the children. "So have we come to an agreement on the names if we have boys and girls?" Blu turned to Jewel and nodded "Yes 3 names for each just encase we ended up with 3 boys or 3 girls well that would surprise me if we did as I would like us to have both male and female." Jewel decided to tease him "Nah I want 3 girls" Blu looked at her shocked "WHAT" Jewel laughed at his response "Just kidding of course I would want both, it would be good to experience having both"
Blu nodded in agreement but questioned her "Do you always have to tease me". Jewel grinned at him with the response he gave "Of course I have to, it makes you look cute when you respond and it is funny to tease you as well, don't you find it funny when you tease me" Blu thought about as he realised she was right and smiled "No not really" Jewel looked at him shocked "WHAT" Blu grinned at her "Just kidding, your right it is funny". Jewel glared but smiled at him as well "You are playing a very dangerous game my handsome Blu bird" Blu grinned as he returned the glare "I know I am my precious Jewel"
Jewel giggled as she loved being called that by Blu. At the same time Blu came and sat next to her as they thought of what to do next. "So when are your mom and Dad supposed to come" Jewel thought about what they said yesterday. "They should be here by midday and judging by the position of the sun, they will be here momentarily."
Blu nodded but his face soon looked glum "I'm worried about what they will think when we tell them about my past." Jewel too felt unsure of how to approach the situation as she too felt confused on how to do this. "I don't know how this will happen but we must tell them, they don't deserve to be lied to by this, It is best that we tell them the truth, if they have a problem then I won't tolerate it but if they don't then everyone is happy." Blu nodded as he knew Jewel was right "Yes but I just worry of how they will react" He said as he turned to the entrance of the hollow. "Yeah I don't know, I hope our family doesn't get torn up over this" Blu looked at her shocked but felt upset to see her starting to show a tear forming in one of her eyes."
Blu moved right next to her "Hey it won't come to that. I know it might but I am confident that it won't come to that, yes they might be upset but they will get over it and accept me for who I am, Whatever happens Jewel even if the family does get torn apart" He put the tip of one of her wings in both of his wing tips as he finished "I will always love you and will always be here for you".
Jewel smiled deeply as he rubbed her eye with the tip of his wing to get rid of the tear, she felt touched by how sincere he said it. He was willing to go that far for her "Thank you Blu and I will always love you and be here for you as well" They both leaned forward and indulged in a long passionate kiss and making continuous kisses after that one. Each one full of passion, love and feeling, each one transmitted to the other how deeply their partner loved them. They separated and then gazed in each other's eyes. Jewel was lost in words. She felt so lucky to have a caring and selfless mate like Blu. She at one point who stated she hated him when they first met was proud to call him her mate and she didn't care if anyone else thought otherwise.
Jewel spoke first as she nuzzled his chest with her head and lied against him "I feel so lucky to have met you Blu and fallen in love with you". Blu wrapped his wings around her "I feel the same Jewel, if never met you I don't know what would be happening to me right now, I know I would be in Minnesota but I honestly don't know what I would be doing" Jewel smiled "I feel the same, I would still probably be alone, and I would probably start to lose myself for being on my own for so long." They remained in the embrace, Blu felt like he was Romeo off Romeo and Juliet that he watched once; He couldn't contain his love for her.
They separated from the embrace and then Jewel spoke "You do know how to make me feel better, Where would I be without you" Blu smiled as he replied to her "I don't know where you would be but I guess it is one of my specialties" Jewel smiled at him as she continued to lie against his chest.
However there little romantic moment was now over as they saw Azura and Jonas come in to their hollow "Hello you two, how are doing today" Jewel remained leaned on Blu as she spoke "Just preparing for the eggs as they are nearing the stage where they will hatch from them, we have been spending more time in here to get us used to being in the hollow for a long time as we will need to be." Azura smiled as Jewel was preparing herself for the children, Azura thought to herself "You truly are ready for such a commitment" She smiled deeply at her daughter and then got to the point "So how come you called for us to come over today".
Blu and Jewel both looked at eachother with worried faces but Blu nodded looking very confident. Jewel nodded in return "You might want to sit down". Azura and Jonas were confused but did so anyway not sitting far Jewel spoke "Now see the reason we called you is because" Jewel felt nervous and worried this will all go wrong but Blu put a wing over her and nodded at her which made Jewel feel confident "Well me and Blu, we... We lied about his past".
Both Azura and Jonas were left confused and worried as they wondered why they did that "But why, I don't see why you would do it" Blu continued for Jewel "Well I... I am ashamed about my past" Azura then tried to make him feel better "I'm sure it isn't bad, your past is not something you should be ashamed about". Jewel replied "You wouldn't say that if you knew". Both of the older birds looked at her confused.
Blu continued "Well do you know that I said Smugglers attempted to capture me" Both of the older macaws nodded "Well they actually did smuggle me, They sent me all the way to America" Both Azura and Jonas were confused "Really but how did you end back up here". Blu replied "I will tell you that soon, Anyway next thing I know I wake up in a crate, alone, trapped, helpless, it was very cold and the possibility that I could die from the cold."
Azura and Jonas felt unsure of how to react by all of this they were hearing "When I thought it was the end for me, the roof of my box opened up to reveal a human looking inside. She found me and then took me out of it and I saw the surrounding covered in white powder looking thing called snow, absolutely freezes you but the Human saved me took me to her house and healed me up first"
Azura and Jonas smiled "So what is wrong with that" Blu then continued "Then the Human who was called Linda debated with her Mom whether to keep me or send me back to wherever I came from. However before I knew Linda won the case and "Blu paused before continuing "I pretty much lived with them for 15 years"
Azura and Jonas had wide eyes before Azura spoke "Wait, do you mean" Blu nodded as she knew what she was going. Azura and Jonas where at loss in words "A PET" Blu corrected them "Actually the official term is Companion but yes I used to be one" the Older Macaws were at loss of words and thought, as their family has had a bad history with Pets(Companions) and humans " Jewel do you remember what Pets did to us before." Jewel nodded "Yes I know but" Azura continued "And you know they attempted to kill Jollo" Jewel nodded again "And then we find you with one now" Azura said unsure of how to handle the situation.
Jonas spoke "What caused my daughter to love you then" Blu realising he hasn't finished the story "I haven't finished" Everyone stopped " 15 years later a man comes to see us about taking me back to Rio where he said another one of my kind was there. When I heard that I was unsure of what to do as I never interacted with a bird. But then I decided that I wanted to meet this other macaw. So I was brought to Rio where I met Jewel" Jewel then continued "To answer your question Dad remember the adventure that me and Blu talked about well that is why."
Azura and Jonas didn't know what to say, a moment ago the knew Blu as a jungle bird who originated as a jungle but now they don't know what he is "So what else have you not told us" Blu corrected them "That's it, that is all we didn't say but everything else is true."
Jewel was worried as her parents were thinking. Jonas was thinking to himself "So Jewel got herself together with a pet. A PET" Jonas suddenly lost and grabbed Blu and pinned him on the side of the hollow "What have you done to her and our family" Blu was confused but was too focused on freeing himself but Jonas was too strong for him. Azura just stood there stunned at what Jonas was doing "Jonas what are you doing" Jonas didn't answer he kept his claw around Blu's neck refusing to let go.
Jewel stood up and looked to Jonas "Let go of him Dad" Jewel rushed forward and rammed into Jonas making him fall to his side and letting go of Blu who starting coughing to get his breath back. Jewel got off her dad and stood in front of Blu while Jonas got up as Jewel shouted at them "THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ME AND BLU FEARED WOULD HAPPEN WHEN WE TOLD YOU" Seeing that he made her daughter angry Jonas attempts to apologize "I'm…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that" Jewel however wasn't in a mood for it "GET OUT NOW" Jonas and Azura were shocked as their daughter was saying this to them "GET OUT" Seeing that she was in no mood to listen to them they left slowly and exited the hollow.
Jewel however walked to the hollow entrance and shouted to them "DON'T COME NEAR ME, BLU OR THE EGGS EVER AGAIN" Jewel yelled in annoyance before turning around to check on Blu who was still rubbing his neck with his wing. Jewel walked up to him and put her wings on his cheeks "Are you okay" Blu nodded "Yes I'm fine, no damage" Jewel sighed in relief and embraced Blu tightly. Blu returned it but was worried about her as she just shooed away her parents. "I was worried Dad hurt you". Blu replied to her "Will you be okay with what you just did".
Jewel looked up at him "Like I said I won't tolerate them doing anything to you and if they have a problem which they clearly do. I don't want to see them again if they are going to do this to you." Blu felt surprised that Jewel was willing to do that for him but he did feel a little guilty about it "This is my fault I dragged you away from your family, Jollo was right."
Jewel was confused "What do you mean" Blu realised he gave it away so he had to tell "Well Jollo has been trying to get me to break up with you because he thinks I don't deserve you and he threatened me with a warning aswell". Jewel felt disgusted that even her brother wanted Blu to be gone "I can't believe he would do that, but this is not your fault it is their fault they have the problem not you. If they are going to be like that then I want them to stay away from our family"
Blu felt amazed but he knew she was correct that they had the problem. "Okay I will respect your decision Jewel but what if they attempt to talk to us "Then we get rid of them and make them go away as long, I don't want them attacking you again. And I don't want our children to have to witness it and besides they should know that it wasn't your fault for being in Minnesota. You were smuggled their so they didn't listen aswell". Blu nodded but still felt worried for Jewel and how things will play out.
Meanwhile… At a stream
Azura was cleaning Jonas of the marks he got from Jewel ramming her but she was annoyed with him "What were you thinking Jonas." Jonas didn't look at her he looked at the water "It is just that when Blu told he was a pet I snapped because they hurt Jollo before and I thought the same would happen to Jewel" Azura shuck her head "Whether he would or not, it was out of line".
Jonas nodded but asked her a question "But now what" Azura glared at him "We can't go back and apologize because Jewel is not in a mood to listen to us because you attacked Blu and they don't want us near them ever again, we lost one of our daughters once and now we have lost her again just under a month." Jonas was glum that he did that to his daughters mate "Maybe we should go let the others know, it is the only thing we can do at the moment. Azura nodded as she took off with Jonas following her back to the Hollow.
When they reached the hollow they were greeted by Cortez and Pearl who were having an argument "Hey Dad tell Pearl that it is true that we don't be loopy for the fun of it, it just is a habit to do after we have already had one drink at the club". Pearl then looked to Jonas who saw he was glum "Dad what is wrong". Cortez noticed aswell "What is the matter".
Azura and Jonas entered the hollow they sat down and looked at their son and daughter who were wondering what is wrong "Well" Jonas looked to Azura who nodded at him "Well Blu and Jewel lied about Blu's past and I did something very foolish and out of order." Cortez and Pearl were worried now "What happened". Jonas replied "You might want to sit down for this, this may take a while".
Jonas told the exact same story Blu and Jewel told him and Azura, Describing every detail about what Blu told them and how things happened to him. When he finished about what Blu told them both Pearl and Cortez were lost in words about it "So If I have got this straight, Blu used to be a Pet" Jonas nodded "Emphasis on Used" Cortez spoke next "So why did they lie about it"
Jonas then stopped a moment before looking to Azura who spoke "Go on tell them". Jonas was at loss of words before he spoke next "After they told us everything I just lost it and pinned Blu on the side of the hollow with my claw over his neck. Then I shouted at him accusing him of things. Jewel rammed into to me throwing me off of Blu which I have a few marks for but she then shouted that this is exactly what me and Blu feared when we told you. She then told us to get out and stay away from her, Blu and the eggs."
Cortez and Pearl were horrified by what Jewel said to their Mom and Dad "So she doesn't want any of us near them again" Jonas nodded "So I was right." They all turned around to see Jollo looking at them "So Blu is a pet after all" They were all worried as they knew that Jollo wouldn't sit here "I had my suspicions he was a pet but now he is using that fact to have Jewel all to himself and keep her away from us".
Jonas stopped him "No Jewel told us to go away to protect Blu from me after what I did to him" Jollo only became more angry "Precisely, Blu is using that to his advantage so he can have Jewel to himself". Jollo then thought to himself "I will not let you do anything to my sister; I will kill you Blu if you do anything to my sister and I will make her see sense."
Jollo flew out and left. Everyone then looked back at Jonas as Cortez spoke "So you attack Blu and Jewel hates us all now" Jonas nodded as Cortez looked at him angrily "NICE ONE Dad NOW WE HAVE LOST OUR SISTER AGAIN". Pearl glared at him as well "I know but I just snapped because I thought he would do something to Jewel" Pearl spoke up "I can't say I blame them for keeping it a secret but I am worried but If Jewel loves Blu then he must be different from the others". Cortez nodded in agreement "Yeah Unfortunally Dad didn't consider that"
Azura spoke "Well I am a bit worried about it still because it was one." Everyone did agree with her though "Well there isn't anything we can do about it now; Jewel doesn't want any of us to go near her or Blu or their children". They all looked to the ground of their hollow as they knew that things were going bad again"
Wow, Jonas really did screw up their didn't he. Now Jewel and Blu doesn't want them near them. But I told you things would become more interesting. The story is now closing in on it finish but a couple more chapters before that happens.
Anyway thanks for reading and looking forward to reading some reviews.
