Rio the Darkness 5: Alternative Darkness
(non-member) Bulletstorm986: Thanks bro, I hope you enjoy the rest of this story.
chloemcg: Yeah, Blu is a great father, isn't he. (btw, I have a question: did you ever try to draw Mr. Kirilenko?) And thanks. :D
The following day at the bookstore, while the blue macaw was still making hot chocolate, Jessica-still laid down in Arlene's wings-was looking at a picture frame, all curious.
"What's wrong Jessica?" Arlene asked, knowing she was all curious about something. Arlene looked at the picture too, and it was a picture of Blu and Linda dressed as pirates together. Arlene smiled and looked back down at Jessica, who was smiling again. "Nice picture."
Blu had then finally returned from the kitchen, carrying a cup of hot chocolate and a packet of cookies in his talons. He set the cup down and took Jessica back into his wings. "Hey, Arlene. I got the hot chocolate.
"Cool, and thanks." Arlene thanked, as she looked at the hot chocolate, seeing the strange brown liquid inside of it.
"You're welcome. Go ahead and try some." Blu offered while smiling to himself.
Arlene placed her talon toes around the cup handle and lifted it up and tried a sip. She set it back down and tasted it in her beak a couple of times.
"Do you like it?" Blu inquired, before he began opening the packet of cookies he had also brought with him.
Arlene swallowed the hot chocolate, and she already loved it! She replied to Blu with a tone of happiness in her tone. "I...love it!"
Blu smiled in response before he noticed Arlene had all chocolate around her beak. Blu moved his wing up and motioned towards his beak with his wing. "Ummm, Arlene."
"Oops." Arlene giggled, wiping the hot chocolate off of her beak with her wing. "Excuse me."
"It's fine. Would you like some cookies too?" Blu offered, picking up a cookie in his talon and offering it to Arlene.
"Yeah, sure." Arlene replied, accepting the cookie into her talon and trying having a bite to see if it was nice to eat.
Blu then got another cookie and broke a tiny piece off. He held the small piece in his wing and offered it to Jessica. "Here, Jessica, wanna try one?"
Jessica examined the small piece of cookie and began sniffing it to see what it was. She leaned forward and had a little nibble, and she liked it.
Now Blu would normally bet no way Jessica would eat a cookie, but as it turns out, Jessica loves cookies. Who would have thought. "She likes it." Blu said, holding Jessica carefully so she didn't choke.
"I bet she does." Arlene agreed, as she bad another sip of the delicious hot chocolate. "This is really good."
Blu then looked back at Linda, who was sitting on the big couch with her feet up and was reading a newspaper (an American version). Blu introduced little Jessica a newspaper while smiling. "Look Jessica, that's called a newspaper."
Blu smiled and sat back down on the small couch. He talked to Jessica, and like Rey, Blu tried to get her to talk at her young age. "Can you say "Daddy"? Say "Daddy". Say "Daddy"."
"Maybe she doesn't know what you're saying." Arlene said, which was quite obvious that Jessica could not understand anybody yet.
"I know, I just wish she could talk now. I really wanna hear her first words." Blu said smiling, as he got his free wing out and began ticking Jessica with his wingtips.
Though Jessica could not talk yet, she could laugh. Jessica giggled and wiggled around in her father's grip, trying to escape Blu tickling her.
"She's ticklish alright." Arlene smiled, watching little Jessica giggle as Blu continued to tickle her, and he was laughing too.
"Yep." Blu said, as he finally stopped tickling Jessica, and she was now smiling at him. He then set Jessica down onto a little talons to see if she could walk yet. "I wonder if she can walk yet."
Jessica waited for her father to let her go and tried to walk over to Arlene. However, as she got halfway to Arlene, Jessica fell down onto her stomach. Blu was about to help her, but stopped when he saw she was fine. Jessica used her wings to crawl over to Arlene due to the fact she can't walk yet.
Arlene smiled and picked up Jessica and gave her back to her father. "She still needs some practice."
"Yeah." Blu agreed, laying Jessica down in his wing and softly stroking her head with his wingtip. "She's so beautiful."
Jessica yawned and was beginning to feel tired. She closed her big eyes and snuggled her head into her fathers wing, and in seconds, she was asleep.
"Looks like she fell asleep." Arlene said, watching little Jessica sleeping peacefully, and it was so adorable for Arlene to watch.
Just then, Blu looked up and saw four other blue macaws flying towards him. It was indeed the lovely Jewel, the free-spirited Rey, the big Azul, and the beautiful Crystal.
"Hi, honey." Blu greeted his beautiful wife as she landed down next to him.
"Hi, Blu, Arlene." Jewel sweetly greeted while she took sleeping Jessica gently into her wings.
The three blue macaw kids jumped on their aunt, wanting to hug her. "AUNTIE ARLENE!"
Arlene fell down on her back and began laughing as she watched each of the kids hug her in different places of her body. "Hey there, kids."
"I missed you."
"No I did more."
"No, I did the most."
"I missed all of you too." Arlene smiled, gathering them all up in her wings and hugging them closely.
Jewel looked down at Jessica and sniffed her beak and recognised a familiar smell. "Blu, did you feed Jessica a cookie?"
"Yeah." Blu admitted, rubbing the back of his neck with his talon. "She likes them."
"That's good." Jewel smiled, as she held her head down on Jessica and began to talk in a cute voice. "But you can't have too many or you will be sick."
Jewel then looked back at Arlene, who was now free from the blue macaw kids. "Hey Arlene. I hope my kids didn't hurt you."
"Nah, it's cool. They didn't hurt me at all." Arlene said, brushing herself off from the kids' hug attack.
Jewel smiled and playfully nuzzled her babies head. "Did you have fun while I was gone, Jessica? Did Daddy take care of you?"
"Yeah, I showed her around." Blu answered, watching Jessica snuggle into her mother's wing and sleeping peacefully like the little angel she was.
"We love you, Auntie Arlene." Rey, Azul, and Crystal cooed simultaneously, hugging their Aunt Arlene on her stomach.
"I love you guys too." Arlene smiled, hugging them all in return, happy to call them her family.
"Awwwwwwwww." Blu cooed, pressing his wings together and placing them at the side of his face. But then he was not prepared for his children to quickly jump off Arlene and hug him next and know him to the ground.
The blue macaw laughed as he hugged them in his feathery blue wings and held them close to his chest. "You kids are the best...I love you all."
