‘Roll on the morning’ they all thought.
Sun rise seemed to take forever coming, it seemed like an eternity but, eventually it came. They could hear the sound of helicopters above, Dandy and Luna stood up and sent out distress flames so they knew their exact whereabouts. Four helicopters came in total, big heavy ropes were let down into the forest. A fairy ambulance was at the ready to rush Lucky to the hospital as soon as he was freed. Rescuers started to descend down the helicopter’s ladders which were swaying up above.
‘Mio Dio - OMG!’ thought Luna and Dandy ‘they are so very brave.’
A television crew arrived, they were at the ready to film all, after all, Luna was famous. The news coverage showed him for who he was, a savior!
The news coverage was shown all over the world but, Luna didn’t really want any sort of coverage or to be on television, he wasn’t a hero. He was doing what any normal fairy would do, anyone with a sense of right and wrong and a heart that is, plus he didn’t look his best. He was scruffy and unshaven after spending the night sleeping in the rain forest.
Dandy looked at Luna and whispered ‘of all the times to be filmed!’
The rescuers managed to lift the tree just enough for the medics to pull Lucky free. He said he couldn’t feel his legs at all, there was no sensation whatsoever. He was placed on a stretcher and lifted into the fairy sky ambulance to be taken to the nearest fairy hospital.
It was all over the news.
‘Luna is a hero along with his partner Dandy as they save a trapped fairy in the Amazon Rain Forest. These fairies are heroes!’
Hollywood was so proud but, not as proud as their parents who sat back in Salento watching everything on their fairy televisions. Destiny’s heart swelled with pride thinking ‘her Luna was something so special. She always knew in her heart that one day he would be loved, worshipped by all and accepted for who he is.’
Olive and Willow were back at the hut, carrying twigs to rebuild the roof, looking after Rush, feeding Poppy and worrying whether Maggie had gone into premature labor. She was making a very strange groaning noise and was rocking from side to side. What did they know about birth delivery? They put out a call for help, they needed the fairy midwife to come to the rainforest to check on Maggie.
‘‘Please just let her and her baby monkeys be ok, please’’ they prayed.
Everything was happening in the forest. Maggie was in labor. Rush was slowly recovering. Lucky was in hospital having his legs operated on. Luna and Dandy were all over the news and Olive and Willow were running about like headless fairy chickens.
Oh the joy!
Rush was already drawing up a plan to replant the trees, rebuild the sanctuary where it had been damaged and even planning to capture a male and female monkey so that more breeding could be done. Time never stood still even in the face of such tragic happenings.
Maggie was in labor all that night and well into the next morning. She gave birth to two adorable little fellows, both male. It seemed to everyone that Poppy would have her place in Maggie’s heart. Maggie had taken to Poppy which was strange as monkeys are so very protective of their own. Maggie took comfort in the fact that little Poppy who was a baby herself kept stroking Maggie’s back when she was in strong labor, comforting her and telling her everything would be alright. They formed a little bond. Maggie promised herself that Poppy would become one of her monkey babies.
Olive and Willow were overcome with joy. They had never seen a birth before let alone a fairy monkey birth. It was the most amazing experience ever, one they would never forget. They christened the two boys Harry and Henry, nice strong names for two strong monkeys. After all they were born just after a hurricane and came into this world just like two kings to be worshipped by all.
It was going to be a while before Lucky was able to be released. It was too early to say whether he would get the full use of his legs again but, only time would tell. However, Lucky felt he was extremely lucky to be alive. If it hadn’t been for Rush coming to his rescue, he would be dead, then Rush suffered the misfortune of getting trapped himself. He owed so much to Luna and Dandy. Those fairies deserved everything that came to them. They may be famous but, in his eyes they are heroes with hearts of gold and no amount of money could ever buy that.
The time had come for the fairies to return to their homes, they had learnt so much during this adventure. They now had strong fairy wings which would carry them wherever their hearts desired….
And Olive and Willow desired so much!
Olive thought to herself ‘when will I finally marry Oak? I cannot wait for him forever. I will have to put a plan in order to finally make him all mine…….’
CHAPTER 15
THE BIRTH OF RENESMEE PEARLA
The due date of Renesmee Pearla was fast approaching.
Luna and Dandy returned to L.A. after their rain forest adventure. They requested the services of the famous fairy interior designer Daffodil Jones, she was known as Daffy to her friends and those in the know. She was the most famous baby fairy interior designer in Hollywood. Anyone who was anyone hired her, she had the most colourful and amazing ideas for nurseries. Luna and Dandy couldn’t wait to get her into their mansion.
The doorbell rang. The fairy boys rushed to the door, Daffy stood there, she was dressed in yellow and had the biggest smile across her face. She clutched a huge pink fairy stork to her newly done breasts, she had been to one of the best Hollywood surgeons just last week and was now ready to be even more creative than normal, if that was as all possible. She apparently had been inspired as she lay in her hospital bed after her operation eating grapes and watching the news of Luna and Dandy’s expeditions in the rain forest. She knew that she was going to be even more famous after working for these two.
‘‘Vieni, vieni’’ they shouted ‘‘welcome into our home, welcome!’’
Hugs and air kisses were exchanged.
‘‘Okay’’ said the boys ‘‘we are expecting a girl and we want her room to be all about diamantes, glitter, totally extravagant! Everything needs to be suitable for a fairy princess, money is no object, we want the best of everything for our special Renesmee.’’
Daffy was full of ideas. She was thinking dark wood furniture made from the best wood available. Walnut or even Oak with sweeping canopies so the little angel could escape into a little world of her own. White high shine diamante floor tiles. Monkeys would be the theme! Yes, monkeys! They would hold diamante encrusted bananas in their little hands, there could never be too much glitz! Glitz and pink only fit for such a special little fairy. She had even arranged an import of a diamond encrusted giraffe and these diamonds were real! After all, she had a huge budget. Why not splash out on a few diamonds? Because the new fairy baby’s aunty was Olive (the chosen one) she had commissioned a specialist in wands to make a diamond encrusted wand which would be suspended from the ceiling hanging over the little fairy’s bed. Magic would always be in the air around this fairy, she was going to be one of the most fortunate in the world. However, Luna and Dandy were going to give their daughter the greatest gift of all and it was free! The gift of love, family and a sense of belonging. Oh yes, she was going to be one very lucky fairy, loved by all.
Daffy started designing, spending, ordering and spending some more, the excitement in the air was electric.
The magazine editor of ‘Fairy Tell-all’ magazine was keen to get the first photos of the new fairy baby. They had managed to secure a deal with Luna and Dandy for $250,000. They were going to do an exclusive photo shoot at the mansion, all the family would be flying back to L.A. for the shoot. Fairy dress designer Tera Hang had promised to design dresses which had never been seen or worn by anyone. No-one had been that privileged before but, for Renesmee, everything and anything was possible.
The boys had a call in the middle of the night.
Renesmee Pearla was coming into the world and into a life full of love! Yes, it was time. The private fairy jet was on standby ready to
fly the boys to Belgium at a moment’s notice. The paps were aware of the impending birth but, not of the name or whereabouts of the surrogate mother. After all, some things were best kept a secret!
Oceane was in deep labor by the time the boys arrived. The contractions were only ten minutes apart and the birth was imminent.
‘‘No pictures of my lower regions’’ she shouted.
‘Or my face’ she thought as that was rather contorted at the moment. Contorted in pain!
‘‘Give this beautiful lady anything she wants’’ shouted the boys ‘‘anything! Ease the pain for her!’’
Oceane thought to herself ‘maybe if one of you boys gave birth that would ease the pain.’
Her smile then stretched into a scream as she shouted ‘‘I want to push, I want to push.’’
‘‘Get your video camera ready’’ Luna shouted to Dandy.
Oceane managed to say ‘‘remember, don’t show my privates’’ through clenched teeth.
Renesmee Pearla was born beautiful, she was smiling, it may have been wind but, there was a definite smile on this fairy’s face as she was thrust into the world of Hollywood. The boys cried, Oceane cried, happy to give such a gift and happy that she could at last buy their house outright, her family would never want for anything again.
‘‘A boy next time’’ shouted Dandy ‘‘this princess needs a bro.’’
‘‘Steady on’’ thought Oceane ‘‘it is quite obvious they hadn’t just give birth!’’
Oceane handed over the baby fairy and the boys handed over a wad of money along with a huge diamond which hung on a white gold chain.
Oceane thought to herself ‘that pain was so totally worth it.’
The boys had even promised her a tummy tuck but, she thought she would save that if there was to be another birth first. After all, she was being a Christian, they were able to give their fairy babies more than most people could ever afford to. The boys hugged Renesmee, they hugged each other, they hugged Oceane who already had the necklace hung around her neck. They did a little fairy dance before rushing out to phone their mammas.
Their mothers had both been pacing up and down, anxious! Their fathers had taken up smoking and drinking Gin, everyone was anxious and then the phone call came.
‘‘You are now grand-parents’’ they shouted over Skype as they presented Renesmee Pearla to the glowing nonni!!!
‘‘Bella, bella, bella!’’ they shouted ‘‘we love her already!!!’’
‘‘Once Renesmee is settled, we will send the private fairy jet to collect you in a day or two. Get packed and bring us some Amaretto to toast the baby fairy’s head.’’
‘‘Hooray!’’ they all shouted.
‘‘Hooray!’’ shouted Destiny ‘‘I am a nonna!’
Cielo sat in silence, he was very happy, a little fairy tear slid down his cheek. He brushed it away, after all, sky fairies don’t cry and he was a big man sky fairy.
CHAPTER 16
THE PHOTO SHOOT
When the fairies landed at the airport in Luna and Dandy’s private jet, the paps were out in full swing. It had been a tiring journey but Destiny and Dana made sure they were made up to the nines, after-all they didn’t want to be papped looking anything but their gorgeous selves. There was a television crew from the local news station there, questions were asked as soon as they started to walk down the steps.
‘‘How does it feel to be a nonna?’’
They directed this question towards the two mothers.
‘‘Absolutely fabulous’’ shouted the new nonnas in unison ‘‘we have seen Renesmee on Skype and she is perfect! She is the most beautiful fairy baby that ever existed.’’
‘‘Oh so the name is Renesmee’’ shouted a pap at the front ‘‘how do you spell that?’’
Destiny swallowed hard. It just sort of popped out of her mouth and she had promised not to say anything but, the excitement was just too much to bear.
Dana shouted ‘‘there is a second name but, we are keeping that to ourselves.’’
The fairies gathered at the bottom of the plane steps and posed for a few shots before being whisked off in the limousine to be taken to Luna and Dandy’s house. The fairies needed to calm their nerves just a little, so when they were offered a glass of champagne, they grabbed it with both hands as after all, they were not used to all this attention! They were just normal everyday fairies from Salento.
Luna and Dandy were waiting to greet them along with their new nanny Rosa. She was introduced to them all and she curtsied! Yes! Curtsied!!
Destiny began to think maybe she could change her name to Queen Destiny. It has a sort of ring to it, doesn’t it?
Renesmee Pearla was sleeping but, the mothers couldn’t wait so rushed into her room to have a little peek at the sleeping fairy. She lay in the most beautiful cot you had ever seen, surrounded by animals of the jungle. This room was a very sparkly one. Destiny and Dana thought they needed sunglasses as there were diamantes everywhere. This room was a sparkly princess room just like the boys requested. She woke up and appeared to smile, Renesmee had the sweetest little face you had ever seen. She was like a little fairy cherub with sea blue eyes and perfectly shaped lips, divine.
A themed photo shoot had been arranged for the very next day. A top photographer from ‘The Fairy Tell-all’ magazine’ was arriving promptly at 10.00am and the nanny was getting the fairy baby ready. Tera Hang had made the most amazing dress. It was adorned in blue crystals and brought out the colour in Renesmee’s eyes. It was long and would also be worn for her christening which was happening in a couple of days.
Big pure white swans were wandering around the grounds of Luna and Dandy’s house. They would be in the photo shoot but, in the back-ground as they could be a bit unpredictable, little snappers!
Luna and Dandy sat on the plush sofa holding Renesmee between them with a nonna on each side of them. The grandparents sat next to their better halves with Olive and Willow kneeling at the front.
This was the picture that was the magazine cover the very next day with the title ‘Princess Renesmee Pearla is born into a life of love and diamonds.’
It was the fastest selling magazine story since the Amazon Rain Forest story was published, it literally flew off the shelves. There were about another ten photos inside including one of Renesmee’s nursery. The boys admitted to having a Nanny but, said they were going to share the night feeds between them because they were not going to palm Renesmee off onto anyone She would be travelling everywhere with them but, that Rosa (their nanny) would be coming with them.
The Christening was going to be a private event and would be held in the local Hollywood chapel. Just family and very close friends were invited. The couple asked for privacy at this very exciting time for the family. Privacy was granted, after all, they had done the photo shoot and donated the money received to the ‘Save the Rain Forest’ charity.
Olive sang at the Christening. She had the voice of an angel, an angelic angel.
CHAPTER 17
WILLOW AND BIRCH GET HITCHED
Willow was beginning to think it was never going to happen with Birch. After the tree sit-in, let’s just say, he was slow at coming forward!!!! Willow thought that perhaps he needed a little helping hand to make him see what was right in front of his eyes. After seeing little Renesmee, all Willow could think about was fairy babies and making one of her own. It was time.
She decided she would cook a gourmet meal for Birch. She would wear a seductive dress along with her favorite perfume. She went for a 50’s look with her hair piled high on her head in a bee-hive, a flared dress with a huge under-skirt with a sexy little cardigan over it. She looked hot and desirable and she knew it! If this didn’t get Birch’s pulse racing, then she didn’t know what would! Either he wasn’t attracted to her or he was like Luna, gay! She was always told by her mother that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach and good old fashioned steak and ale pie was the way to go……..
Birch arrived at 7.00pm promptly carrying a couple of large Sunflowers as he knew that this was Willow’s favorite flower. He did feel a bit nervous as this felt more like a proper date. He had even splashed some wood spice aftershave on as he knew that Willow loved the smell of wood.
When Willow opened the door, he couldn’t believe that anyone could look so beautiful! Normally, he saw Willow at sit-ins and demonstrations and she always wore dungarees. This fairy was one hot woman and he wanted her!
‘‘Can I get you a drink?’’ said Willow coyly looking out from under her false eyelashes, fluttering them a little.
‘‘Yes please, a beer would be nice’’ said Birch as he handed her a bottle of red vino.
Willow had made an Italian starter of mozzarella and tomatoes drizzled in olive oil. An Italian desert called Tiramisu would follow the main course. She had made it herself.
Birch was in fairy heaven! After a glass or two of vino, he took Willow’s hands in his and proclaimed his love for her. He said he had wanted to make her his for a long time but, that he was a little shy and didn’t know how to win her over. Willow said there was no winning over to be done. He had been in her heart from the very first moment she had set her eyes on him. With that said, they shared a long and lingering kiss. It was sealed, they were to be together! Marriage was on the cards but, first Birch had to get Cielo’s permission, everything had to be done properly.
Both the love-fairies were on cloud nine. Birch’s kiss had lifted Willow off her little fairy feet high into the air. She was in love! But, papi! What about papi? He was just so totally over-protective!
Birch decided he would take Cielo on a paint-balling expedition. He knew that Cielo hadn’t been before, he would make sure they won. Once they were bonded as a team he would say ‘by the way, can I have Willow’s hand in marriage?’
