Prologue-Pregnancy Discovery
Lockdown
We didn't have to have her take a test to know that she was pregnant. All it took was an anger outburst out on a hunt. She killed one of our prey's companions when he struck her in the torso. Yep, someone got super owned that night. But that wasn't like her. She hated to kill, yet she did it anyway.
I asked Oil Slick to do a scan on Shadow Wing (Shadow for short) and not even he could believe what he found.
"What? What's up?" I asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Shadow was just s concerned.
"Good Primus, Shadow, you're….pregnant!".
Shadow shot up. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!".
Nervously, probably fearing her a lot more than anything else, Oil Slick nodded.
"Yeah, I'm serious".
"No. No, no, no, I can't be".
"Problem, you are, and with twins to be more correct".
"Oh Primus, I'm so stupid! I should've known this would happen. I'm a hypocrite now!" Shadow, I could tell, was actually scared of this.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"I told my friends that I would only adopt kids, not have my own. Ugh, this can't be happening to me!".
"Sorry kid, but here we are".
"What are they, oh Psychic One?" Shadow asked Oil Slick with sarcasm evident in her voice.
"Too early to figure out".
"Good, because you've invaded my privacy enough! I need to be alone! So don't come after me!".
I wasn't about ready to just leave her alone, so I followed after her.
"Why are you so afraid of this? You're just as brave as I am, facing off against all these other races and going after bounties, yet, you're acting this is the end of the world" I put my arm around her shoulders.
"I know, Lockdown, but this…I can't be pregnant at seventeen, it's too stressful" Shadow sighed.
"We can do this. I know we can, I know you can. What choice do we have anyway? Shadow, you've been through a lot worse than this. You're stronger now. And I know you can do this".
"How?".
"Because I believe in you".
"How do I believe it myself?".
"Look to the brighter side of things. We're gonna be parents and to twins, to think. You realize multiple births are even rarer in Cybertronians than humans? This, if anything, is a blessing".
Shadow still looked unsure, so I hugged and held her close. I could feel her tension, fear, and hint of excitement in her half of the spark. She was strong enough to handle this. I knew she could do this. Simply to endure is to survive, so was the motto of the Bounty Hunters. And I knew she could endure this.
A/N: Yep, the bond's only getting stronger. So tell me what you think? Yep, Shadow's gonna be a glitch for the next few months, so hopefully the boys will make it. Wish 'em luck!
