Ch 11: A family once again

The triumphant birds returned back to their homes, laughing and cheering among eachother. They then started to part ways when they got back to their forest, Raphael returning to his mate and children, Pedro and Nico heading back to the samba club to plan a rather large celebration for their current victory, leaving Blu, Jewel, Sol, and Luz to themselves. "So..." asked Sol, "You said that our mother was here, do you know where she is at?". Blu nodded and smiled as he said, "Follow me, I'll take you to her". The four birds then took off with Blu in the lead to Amarela. When they reached their destination, Blu turned to Sol and Luz and said, "Wait here" and flew to find her. Amarela was sitting in her nest, waiting ever since Raphael left to see if Blu and Jewel returned safely. She knew her wait was over as a flash of blue passed the corner of her eye, she turned and her eyes brightened as she saw Blu approaching her. "Blu!" she exclaimed happily, running to him and pulling him into a tight hug, causing Blu to whimper as his back injury still stung. She pulled back suddenly worried, her maternal instincts still very much keen and said, "Blu your hurt! Are you alright? Do you feel ok? Let me get something for that, Wheres Jewel?", Blu laughed and hurridley replied, "Amarela, Amarela, its ok I'm fine, its just a scratch and Jewel is fine. I came here to thank you". Amarela looked slightly confused, "Thank me? For what?", "For teaching me more about my family, and making me more proud of my past than I have ever been before" said Blu, making Amarela's smile wider. He continued, "I just wish I could repay you for all you did for me, something anything at all". "Oh Blu" replied Amarela, "Everyone deserves to know of their family, you repay me enough just by knowing of your own". "I know" said Blu, "and youre right, everyone deserves to know more about family, follow me". Blu then turned and started walking toward the banana tree where tehy had first met, the confused Amarela even more confused. She continued to follow Blu, until curiosity finally got the best of her, "Blu, what are you doi-..." she never finished her question, for as she turned around a branch, her eyes immediately fell upon the pair of yellow macaws that stood next to Jewel. For the longgest of times, Amarela could only stare at the two macaws, her face completely expressionless, until it slowly changed to a tender, loving smile as her eyes filled with joyful tears. It was Sol that had broken the silence by simply stuttering "M-m-mama?", suddenly, as if on que, Amarela rushed toward Sol and Luz, and the two macaws immediately copied. They met in between, Amarela throwing her wings over both of her long lost children and nuzzling them affectionately, "MY CHILDREN!" she cried happily, "MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN ARE HOME!". The three stayed in this embrace, never wanting to ever let go of each other ever again. Amarela looked up and stared gratefully at Blu, not saying a word, but he could tell she was saying "thank you". Blu simply nodded and turned to Jewel, sayng, "Let's go home". At that, the two macaws took off toward their hollow. That afternoon, Jewel was tending to Blu's back injury while talking about the past few events, "Well I have to say Blu, the way you held your own against Nigel was really impressive" admired Jewel, "Oh- hehe... it was noth- OWW tender back!" said Blu. Jewel rolled her eyes playfully, "Youre still the biggest baby Ive ever seen, but I guess that's another reason why I love you". Blu chuckled and turned and embraced his mate, pulling her into a soft kiss, "Well Im just glad their family is reunited and Im here with mine" he said, staring into her saphire eyes. "Well thats good" said Jewel, "and maybe soon, this family will be more than just us" she playfully kissed him again and began to walk from the hollow, Blu giggled but suddenly straightened back up as he followed Jewel, asking nervously, "Wait... what!". Jewel simply laughed and took off to the air, Blu in pursuit, who suddenly began to think this whole matter of family... wasnt quite over yet.
