ATE: Hey everyone! If you have read my other story To Dance Among The Skies, you'll know about Jetfire's mother, Astera. This is her story from the birth of Jetfire to her death. Since this is the first chap, this one will tell about Jetfire's birth. Hope you all enjoy!
Declaimer: I don't own Transformers or Transformers Armada. I only own my OC Astera.
Astera
Chapter 1
Astera was lying on a berth after the long process of giving birth to the sparkling that was resting in her arms in recharge. Her violet colored optics gazed down at the tiny form and smiled. He was such a cute sparkling and she knew he would grow up to be a fine mech. His overall body was white while his helm was red. The rest of his face was a dark gray color. He also had wings, making him a flyer just like his father.
"Astera!"
The femme looked up when her name was called and she smiled when she saw the mech making his way from the door to her berth. His white armor gleamed in the artificial light of the room, along with reflecting off his wings. His torso was a light gray color outlined with a deep blue (like his wings) while his helm was red. His gold colored optics twinkled in happiness to see her as his face mask retracted to reveal his smile.
"Silverbolt!" Astera exclaimed, completely surprised yet happy to see her sparkmate. "I thought you said you weren't going to make it."
"I thought so too, buy Ultra Magnus allowed me to go on leave to allow me some time to help raise our newborn sparkling." Silverbolt replied, a broad smile on his face in excitement. His gaze fell on the small sparkling nestled in her arms. "So this is our sparkling?"
"Yes. He looks a lot like you. Even has your optics."
"Can I…?" Silverbolt held out his arms and she knew what he was asking her. Astera carefully held the newborn sparkling out to him until he was safely placed in his arms. The sparkling stirred in Silverbolt's arms before activating his gold optics to gaze up at him in curiosity, wondering who the mech holding him was. Silverbolt was surprised to see that his sparkling indeed had his optics. He smiled down at him. "Hey there, little guy. I'm your daddy."
Astera could tell that Silverbolt was thrilled to see their sparkling. She smiled when she saw the little one was reaching out a tiny servo to touch her sparkmate's face. It warmed her spark, knowing that they were finally a family.
"So did you decide on a name for him, Astera?" Silverbolt asked, looking at her.
"I thought I'd name him Jetfire." She told him. "What do you think?"
"Jetfire." He said, seeming to say the name as if trying it out. "I like it. It seems to suit him."
"Our little Jetfire. Out little bundle of joy."
ATE: That's it for chap 1. I bet you were all surprised to find out that Jetfire's father was Silverbolt. I decided to use the Silverbot (I don't own him) since I wanted to play off the fact that Scott McNeil voiced the character in Beast Wars/Beast Machines and that he also voices Jetfire in Armada. Originally, I had made a list of names that I could possible use for Jetfire's father (some being actual Transformers characters while others I made up) and Silverbolt was the working name at the time I wrote this on vacation, but I decided to use him. Again, I don't own Silverbolt.
Please remember to review! ;D
