Chapter 15: Happy Birthday Blu

Credit for this idea for the chapter goes to Dark Blue-Bird, but the writing is mine

It has been a few months since Valentines's Day and Blu is ever so happy to be reunited with his parents, his parents likewise. Soon an important day was coming, which Blu's parents knew about, but Blu did not know. Blu's real birthday was coming, Blu has completely forgotten his real birthday, he always considered his birthday to be the day when Linda found him in the crate back in Minnesota.

Blu woke up to another ordinary day, except for the fact that his parents were waiting for him to wake. "Morning, Mom, Dad, is everything okay?"

"Do you know what day is coming, my son?" Sarah said, smiling.

"I'm sorry, but I don't recall anything special for now. Why is there something happening?"

Blu's parents were surprised and decided to talk to Jewel about their son.

"Jewel, how come Blu doesn't even know it's his birthday in a few days, or is he just wanting to act surprised?" David asked, confused.

"Well you see, Tyler remembers his birthday as being the day when Linda first took him in, I guess he just forgot his actual birthday. But that does give us an advantage, because we can surprise him completely."

Both of Blu's parents liked the idea their daughter in law just gave them and with the help of Jewel plus the kids, they set to work planning and preparing for Blu's birthday.

In a couple of days, everything was set and ready, all that was needed was for Blu to come. As Blu's parents and the kids were setting up some last minute things, Jewel flew to get Blu.

"Honey, wake up." Jewel said, gently nudging Blu as he laid sleeping.

"In a few minutes, mom." Blu said, clearly not even paying attention to the voice.

Jewel than played miss not so nice girl and kicked Blu hard to get his attention.

"Wake up, Blu!" Jewel shouted.

"Jewel, what is it? I was in the middle of a nice sleep."

Jewel than lowered her voice. "I have a surprise for you, come on."

Blu, still sleepy, got up and followed Jewel. "What could be so important that it can't wait until later." Blu said in his head.

Finally the two lovebirds got to the place where the kids and Blu's parents were waiting, Jewel pecked her head in to see if everything was in place.

"Okay, here we go." Jewel said as she covered Blu's eyes.

"What's so surprising that you have to cover my eyes, it tickles." Blu said, confused.

When they were finally in the place, Jewel uncovered Blu's eyes, everyone yelled, "Happy Birthday."

Blu was completely surprised, this was unexpected, but he was totally confused.

"But my birthday isn't for awhile, is this a dream?

"No, my son." David said as he came forward. "This is the actual day where you hatched and came into our lives."

Blu now understood and went to enjoy his first birthday in a long time with his parents, everyone had a good time and when it was over, the whole family flew back home, where they were all tired from the day.

As Jewel was getting the kids to bed and singing her trademark lullaby, Blu was getting into bed, when he saw his parents come in.

Hi, mom, dad, thank you for remembering my birthday, I had a wonderful time, I love you guys."

"Your welcome, son, we love you too." His mom said as she hugged and kissed him on the cheek.

"Have a good night sleep, son." David said

"You too, dad." Blu said, hugging his father.

A minute later Jewel came in and laid next to Blu and cuddled with him.

"So did you enjoy your birthday, handsome."

"I sure did, but next time try to have a more gentle way of waking me."

"Fine." Jewel chuckled a little.

Blu slept happy that night, he could not believe that his parents remembered so much about him, yet he remembers little about them, so Blu decided to spend more time with his parents to get to know them.
