The bounty hunters woke up from his nightmarish dream and looked over his mates lying beside him. Optimora was sound asleep. Smiling the night away in her dreams. 'Sleep well my love.' Lockdown kissed her on her cheek then got up and went to his sons Overdrives crib. He gently picked up the sleeping sparkling and kissed his helm. "I promise to not let anything happening to you. You and your carrier. Even if it cost me my very life." He heard foot step behind him but know who it was.
"Is everything alright Sweet Spark?" When Optimora noticed her mate wasn't beside her she got up and went looking for him. Lockdown just keep looking at his son. "I just wanted to check on our sparkling that's all." But, the Prime didn't buy it. Not one cent. She placed her hands on her hips and asks again. "Okay Lockdown I know your lying cause your avoiding eye contact." She pointed out. Lockdown sighed. Time passed which felt like forever. The bounty hunter finally answered her. "I had a nightmare." He admitted to her. This time he looked at her straight in the eyes. "What's the nightmare about?" She asks.
"It's about how I lost my family back on Cybertron." Optimora remembered Lockdown telling her that before when he captured her not so long ago. She placed her servos on his shoulders. "I can still see my mate dying in my arms. Seeing my life destroyed right in front of my eyes. Making me leave the place I once called home. Making my core filled with hate." He said with bitterness in his voice. Optimora looked at him with bit of regret. "Lockdown I'm sorry."
"For what?" He asks."For the war. I was only doing what's right for the people. If me and Megatron haven't started it maybe you would still have your family." Her eyes swell up and started crying. Lockdown cup her chin up and both of them were making eye contact. "Optimora listen. I know that you mean well but you can't change the past. All it matters what happens now. " But, the Prime still feels guilty. "But I cost you so much pain." She whimpered. He shook his head. "Nothing more greater pain than lossing you and our sparkling." He stated. Optimora feels a bit better. But, not all the way. Lockdown placed Overdrive back in his crib and carried his mate bridal style. "Now lets go back to bed shall we? And maybe make Overdrive another sibling?" Optimora playfully slapped him. "You naughty. boy."
