Rio the Darkness 4: Love and Light

A couple of weeks had passed since the events of Ivan and his Army of dark macaws almost taking over Rio de Janeiro Jungle. Things were now back to the way they should be: peaceful, quiet, and relaxing.

While all the local birds of the Jungle did their regular routine, others were still recovering. Nico, who had almost been killed in the blast from Ivan's, was now resting in Tulio's aviary.

As for the Blue Macaw family, they had all stayed close together in their home, waiting for Jewel to lay her new baby.

One peaceful morning, Arlene the Scarlet Macaw was soaring through the air, enjoying the fresh air and peace and quiet, but it was soon interrupted by loud thunderous screams coming from one of the tree hollows. "AHHHHHHHH!"

Arlene stopped in mid-air when she heard the scream, which to her, sounded very familiar. She noticed it was coming from the Blue Macaws' family tree. "What was that?!"

Arlene had to fly over to the tree hollow investigate the strange noises. Was the family under attack? Was someone in danger? Arlene landed down by the hollow entrance/exit, only to see it was Jewel, who was laying in her nest, screaming in agonising pain.

Jewel turned her attention to the hollow exit/entrance when she noticed her friend had arrived, and was lucky to arrive too. Jewel screamed out for help in agony. "Arlene!"

Arlene did not hesitate and quickly run towards the screaming Blue Macaw. "Jewel! Are you OK?!"

"I'm in labour!" Jewel shireked, placing both her wings on her stomach, trying to cope with the pain. "Please help me."

"What?! Ok, ok! Uh..." Arlene looked around contantyl, trying to think what she could do to help her friend. She kneeled down to Jewel and held out her right wing. "Here, hold my wing!"

Jewel grabbed onto Arlene's wing with an extreme grip. She squeezed her wing as hard as she could, almost breaking it.

Arlene whimpered as she tried to cope with the pain. Jewel was hurting her wing, but she knew if was nothing compared to what Jewel was feeling at the moment. She mumbled to herself while almost crying. "Just go with...The pain..."

Jewel then looked at the hollow exit/entrance, an a miracle finally happened. Blu and his children had returned with mangoes, which was suppose to be for their breakfast.

Blu immediately panicked when he heard Jewel's scream. He dropped the mangoes and quickly ran over to assist his wife and friend. "Jewel! Arlene!"

"Blu! I'm in labour!" Jewel cried out, but to Blu, it did look pretty oblivious to what was wrong.

Blu quickly swapped places with Arlene and supported Jewel in his wings, trying to help her in her time of need. Blu placed his wings under Jewel's back and over her body onto her back.

Arlene walked back over to the Blue Macaw kids and took them outside so they could give their parents some privacy. "Come on kids."

After Arlene was gone with the kids outside, Blu continued to support Jewel in his dark blue feathery wings, keeping her calm in her time of need. Blu could see Jewel was beginning to get exhausted, but he did not leave her and stroked her head to keep her calm. "It's okay, Jewel. I'm here. Everything's going to be Ok."

After a few minutes, Arlene and the kids had been watching the tree hollow from the ground. And now they noticed the screams had stopped. Was it over? Did Jewel give birth to the egg, or did she pass out?"

"Lets go check out what happened, kids." Arlene said, as she and the children flew back up to the tree hollow, hoping everything was fine and nothing had gone wrong for the Blue Macaws.

However, their worries were over when they saw Jewel sitting in the middle of the nest, cradling a small egg in her wings. Arlene smiled at the sight, happy for the macaws to have a new baby.

Blu sat close to his beautiful wife and placed his wing over her. He smiled while keeping her comfortable in his wings. "You did it, Jewel."

Jewel turned her attention to her husband and smiled while leaning her head forward and planting a kiss on the side of Blu's beak. "No, Blu, WE did it."

"Congratulations guys." Arlene congratulated the two lovebirds on their new baby, while she folded her wings together like arms and sighed.

"Thanks!" the two Blue Macaws thanked simultaneously together, while they watched their egg together.

Now all they had to do was wait until their egg hatches. It should not be long until it hatches, and now they will get the chance to experience what it was like to take care of a baby again.

After all, kids do grow up so fast.
