New Family

Chapter 1: Nine Months

Month 1

Starscream heaved into the wash rack sink again, cursing Primus name once more. The grey Seeker moaned and crumpled onto the floor, "Ugh…I'm going to fragging kill someone."

"Well," a deep voice said from the door way, "you have the frag part correct."

Lord of the Decepticons was standing there, grey armor shinning a little more than usual. Starscream didn't bother placing his back on once again, he felt so sick at the moment he didn't care. "That was all you Megatron." The SIC spat out, not happy at all. That was true, Megatron wanted a little fun last night so he gave the Seeker some high grade and they had 'fun' most of the night. "Most of the ship probably knows what happened last night."

"That was you Starscream." He said, walking behind Starscream with a smirk on his face. "You shouted for me all night long. Even when you were sober."

A little blush came onto the Seekers face. That was true, "B-but you, our sparks merged..? Why?"

The Lord smiled again, rubbing the Seekers shoulders slowly. "That's how you get the best overloads."

Starscream shuddered, knowing that that could lead to more. Now it was official, the two were bond mates, nothing anyone could do about it. The Seeker didn't want it to happen like that. He wanted it to be romantic and for him to be more sober then he was. Megatron looked over his new mate, "Come now Starscream, we must ready for the day."

With that, Megatron left his SIC in the large wash racks again. Once he was gone, Starscream purged into the sink again. "I-I hate you." That was a lie; he did have feelings for the Lord and had for a VERY long time. But, he didn't know if Megatron had the same for him or if he just wanted someone to frag every now and again.

Later in the week

The Seeker walked down the hallway, a nervous expression on his face. Starscream was becoming more and more sick, his energon sacks in his chest were hurting and he felt bloated more than normal. Yesterday was the worse day in a long time. While on bridge duty, along with Soundwave and Megatron watching them, he rubbed his chest plates every so often. Then, he felt like he was going to become sick once more.

He tried holding it back as best he could, clenching his dentas together. "Starscream, come here." Megatron ordered. He sighed and walked up to the throne. Standing in front of him, he nodded, waiting for him to continue. "I was going to have Breakdown and Knockout bring some of your things into my room tonight, does that sound alright?"

Nodding again, Starscream headed back down to his monitors. But, Megatron grabbed his arm roughly. "Why are you-" And that's when it happened. Starscream purged on his and Megatrons feet as well as on the floor.

That's why Starscream was going to the medic now. He walked in and saw Breakdown sitting there, "Screamer what brings you here?"

"I need to see Knockout," Starscream spat out, sitting on the med berth, "now."

The Grounder widened his optics at the snappy Seeker. "He'll be here soon…"

With that, Breakdown left him in that part of the room alone. Starscream sighed loudly, rubbing his helm a bit in the process. Time seemed to stop for the waiting SIC, not knowing what to expect. Finally Knockout walked into the room, "Ah Commander, what brings you to me today?" He bit his bottom lip a little, not looking up, "Megatron told me that you purged all over the control room yesterday."

Starscream nodded, "I have been all week. I also feel bloated and my energon pouches are becoming more sore by the day."

K.O. had to hold back a smirk so he turned around to face some equipment. "Have you and Megatron spark bonded lately?"

The Commanders face grew red, "How late?"

"In a two week period." The medic said, preparing some equipment he knew he was going to need. "Lay down."

Starscream did as told, laying down and crossing his legs. "Yes, twice…"

Knockout let out a laugh, "Good for you Screamer!" he smirked, "Didn't know you had it in you!"

His face became even more red. K.O. shook his head and placed the special scanner over the spark of the Seeker. There was some awkward air while the scan happened. "Well? Am I about to become one with the All Spark?"

The medic shook his head and got up, "I need to comm. someone. Stay put."

Starscream propped himself up onto his elbows as he watched the red Grounder leave the room. This SIC was becoming even more nervous, he needed to comm. someone without saying anything to him first! At least he wasn't going to become offlined, right?

Time ticked on and two mechs walked into the room. Doctor and Lord headed to Starscream. "Why did you call him?"

"I thought he would like to know what's happening to his mate." Knockout said, attaching the scanner to a free screen.

The special scanner went over the Seekers spark again and a picture of it appeared onto the monitor. The purple, beating spark was there like normal, as well as three little ones attached to it. "W-what are t-those?" Starscream stuttered out.

Knockout pointed to each of the little blips on the screen. "Those are little sparks Starscream. You two are expecting a trine!"

Month 2

Megatron sat on his large throne, waiting for the time to pass quickly so he could see his mate once again. They were expecting a trine of sparklings, most likely Seekers and at least one logical choice for an heir. This was about the time that an expecting Cybertronians body would move the sparkling(s) into the gestation chambers where the two Creators characteristics would combine into the sparkling(s).

This was causing his mate great discomfort and he wasn't holding down anything anymore. The horrible part was that the Seeker was craving almost everything. Energon, Dark energon, high grade and even human food. The only thing he could have was energon right now. The work shift ended and Lord Megatron got out of his throne and headed towards the rec room for their energon cubes. Being the Lord he was, his loyal TIC already had the cubes in his hands for Megatron.

Nodding in a silent thank you, Megatron headed up to his large quarters and walked into the empty room, "Starscream, where are you?" A heaving noise signaled that he was purging, again.

Setting down the cubes, Megatron walked into the wash racks and found Starscream crumbling onto the floor, "I hate this."

"I know," he cooed, picking up his mate with ease. The Lord walked back into their main part and set the Seeker down onto the berth. "If I could, I would take the pain for you."

Starscream glared, "No you wouldn't. You probably don't even want sparklings."

That almost shattered his hard spark, "Why would you say that?"

"Didn't you just use me?" he moaned. "Isn't that why you bonded to me in the first place?"

Megatron gathered the Seeker into his arms gently, setting him into his lap, "I did it because I love you."

Starscream looked into the deep red optics of his mate, "They why wasn't I sober?"

"Because I didn't want you to say no." The Lord answered, holding his SIC helm in his hands. "And I was aware you were attracted to me as well." The Seeker blushed, leaning into the hold. He still wasn't sure about all of this, but he was going to give it a chance.

Month 3

Knockout was watching the door and preparing some instruments he needed for the special appointment of the Commander and Lord later that day. He still couldn't believe that they actually made three lives. Once they left the day Starscream came in alone, he had to tell Breakdown the news ASAP, as they were bonded too. Once the blue grounder knew, he couldn't keep it to himself so he ended up spilling to Airachnid when she was on bridge duty. That meant more than just herself heard the new and, of course, the TIC found out.

Basically, most of the ship knew now, even if the couple didn't. The Seeker was due for a check in, this was the day to see what the little one's genders would be. If, at least, one of them was a mech Megatron would be happy.

As far as he knew, K.O. knew that Starscream didn't really car what the sparklings were as long as they were Seekers. All of the higher ranks knew that they were acting more like mates now too, which was good for everyone's mood. As if on cue, Megatron and Starscream walked into the large med bay, smiling. "Well, you're all happy today."

"We've been in a better mood since we were sure the sparklings stopped shifting around." Starscream said, sitting onto the same berth he always was on.

Megatron stood next to his mate, resting a hand on his shoulder. Knockout sat down on the swivel stool, taking out the same special scanner from the first appointment. "So, what are we finding out today K.O.?" The Seeker asked, laying on his back.

The medic glared at the screen when his nickname was used. "Genders. Do you, by chance, have any name yet?"

They shook their helms and stared at the screen. It flickered on, black and white in color, showing a little huddle of bodies. The picture zoomed in and got a better look at the mass of bodies curled together. Starscream was growing impatient, "Well, what are they?"

K.O. sighed, "I need to find the, ahem, right parts…wait a moment."

Time ticked on for a while but the couple grew impatient, "Knockout." Megatron growled out, "How hard must this be?"

"I've marked each of them out for you." He said, moving away from the screen. There was numbers 1 through 3 on each little body. Number one was the largest of them, "This one's a mech as well as two." He said, moving around the picture a bit.

The Seeker looked at the screen, "What about the third?"

Knockout looked over at the Commander, "I can't tell yet." The screen moved back into the view of only the medic's optics. It stayed like that for a long while, "Oh my Primus…" he gasped, double checking what he was looking at.

"What?" Starscream nervously asked.

Megatron gripped the hand of his mate, trying to reassure him. "Trine's are normally consisted of all of them the same gender Screamer, right?" the Seeker nodded. K.O. moved the screen so that everyone could look at number three. "Well, this isn't a normal trine."

The smallest sparkling, the one squished in between the larger ones, was a femme. "It's a femme?" Megatron asked, letting it sink in.

K.O. nodded, "The first one in a very LONG time."

Starscream let a little tear fall from his optic, he was carrying a femme and two large mechs. He was happy.

Month 4

Airachnid was sitting with the Seeker in the rec room, talking with him. "So, do you have any names for them?"

Starscream shook his head, "Megatron and I haven't talked about it yet. I don't think he wasn't too."

"Well, why don't we make a list?" she asked, reaching into her subspace and pulled out a blank data pad.

He took it in his hands, "Thanks…why are you actually talking to me now?"

Airachnid smiled, "Because you can't talk to any mechs about this! They don't want to hear this and you're very moody right now and emotional."

His face became red, "I guess so…do you have any suggestions?"

"For a mech or a femme?" she asked, crossing her legs.

Starscream thought for a moment, "I, I don't know…"

The femme smiled, "Well, for a mech I would have to say…Lightning. And a little femme…Sapphire, it's a beautiful Earth gem."

SIC wrote that down, "Do I ask just anyone for suggestions?"

"You can." She said, getting up, "I've got to head onto duty. Ask Megatron tonight, you see him in you berth."

Later that night

The Seeker was laying on the berth, filled data pad in his servos. He asked around for names today and wrote most of them down. All he didn't ask was Megatron and he was due with their energon any moment. He looked over another set of names the medic gave him for the mechs. Scorpius and Perseus, constellations on the planet Earth. Another name that Breakdown gave him was Zeus, a god of Greek origin.

Megatron walked in, cubes in hands, "What is that Starscream?"

"Um…a list." The Seeker said.

The Lord sat down on the berth, handing a cube over. "A list for...?"

Starscream sipped at the cube, "Designations for the sparklings…"

"Did you care to ask me?" he asked, not liking not being involved.

SIC sat up, "I was going to when you arrived back here."

Megatron took the list in his hands and read it over. He smirked, "Strongthunder, Blackwing, Quickstorm, Bluescream, Starlight…"

"Ruby." Starscream put in. Megatron stopped naming to look at his mate in confusion. "It's an Earth gem."

End of Month 5 and Start of 6

"Where are we going Lord Megatron?" Starscream whined as his optics were being covered.

Megatron opened a door and smirked when the Seeker's servos rested onto his enlarged abdomen. "That will ruin the surprise my sweetspark. We're almost there."

The SIC groaned, not liking surprises. Plus, the little sparklings were flipping around and kicking him in the process. It was very uncomfortable for him and probably the ones that weren't moving around. To make matters worse, he needed to get new chest plating due to his energon pouches growing to their full size. The war Lord would also be able to feed his young with his energon through he didn't need new chest plates since he could easily retract his own because he wasn't built to carry.

The door opened and Megatron led his mate over to a waiting chair, "Are you ready?"

Starscream nodded, "Hurry up!"

Once the large hand was removed, Starscreams optic's widened. Standing there was a room full of all of the highest ranking Decepticons with presents in their hands. Airachnid smiled, "Surprise!" she handed him a little metal box. "Here, I think you guys will need this."

He opened the lid of the box and looked inside. There was a bunch of plastic pieces with rubber on the ends. "What is it?"

"Binky's." She said, smiling. "Humans use them to shut up there little flesh bags."

Smiling, he closed the box and set it next to him. "Thanks."

Breakdown and K.O. stepped up next with two large boxes. "Since we're going to be making the cribs anyways, we decided to get you something you'll use that's also handy."

Megatron opened one of the super heavy boxes and smirked. "It's a stroller, a twin one for the mechs. The other one is for the little femme."

"Now you can take them with you easily." K.O. put in after Breakdown.

The Seeker smiled, "Thank you."

Soundwave was last and he had two smaller boxes and didn't say a word once he handed it over. Starscream opened the smaller box and pulled out many little data pads. Going through them he saw that they were all sparkling stories. New ones and ones from when he was a sparkling. Megatron opened the larger one which held three toys in it, soft plush Earth animals.

"Thank you everyone." He said, closing the box, "This is greatly appreciated."

Airachnid smiled, "Don't mention it. This was all my idea by the way."

Month 7

Huge headphones were placed over the large abdomen of the Seeker while he was laying in berth. Megatrons voice was playing over on a loop, reading one of the data pads they've gotten from Soundwave. The medic suggested that they should let their sparklings listen to voices of the Decpeticons they would spend most time with so that they are somewhat known.

Today was only their Creators voices. Yesterday was the techno-organic and tomorrow will be the medic and his partner. Smiling at the voices his mate was making, he felt a little kick towards one of the headphones. "That was you Sire little one." He cooed, rubbing the kicked spot slowly, "And you're kicking your Carrier where it hurts."

The kicks seemed to happen everywhere, not really making him happy. But he couldn't become too angry. Knockout said that they little sparks could tell and would become ill. "Starscream, are you in here?" a voice asked from outside the door.

"Yes Breakdown, come in." he said, turning off the voice recording. The large grounder walked in and looked at the happy Seeker. He set down a large box, "What's in there?"

Breakdown huffed, setting his hands onto his hips. "You're aware that sparklings can't control when they let out waste until they're much older, correct?"

Starscream nodded, "Yes, the messes are everywhere…" that was the part he was dreading.

"Well," the blue Grounder smiled, "K.O. and I did some research on human sparklings and found out that they have the similar problem. The only difference, humans use things called diapers to protect themselves and keep the mess contained."

The Seeker looked confused, "So, that's what's in the box?"

Breakdown nodded, smile still on his face. "We made sparkling sized ones! Now you don't have to worry about little surprises everywhere!"

The happy grounder left the room and a very weirded out SIC. Starscream rubbed his stomach mindlessly, "Be wise about who you listen to little ones."

End of Month 8 and Start of 9

The very pregnant Seeker was being rolled down the long hallway by the blue Grounder with the medic and femme. Megatron had yet another surprise for him and the others were all in on it. Starscream was so large now he couldn't walk long distances easily, so he was being pushed in a swivel chair everywhere.

They reached the hall where Megatron and Starscreams quarters where. They stopped in front of a door, "Ready Screamer?" Knockout teased, knowing that he didn't like to wait.

"Yes, let's hurry!" he whined, trying to kick the door.

Airachnid opened the door and let Breakdown push Starscream in. The Seeker gasped at the sight, smiling too. The large storage room was now a nursery. The walls were painted a nice, light green color with a push black rug on the floor. A large window was covering most of the wall while three cribs were in front of it. They were all black in color but the blankets inside were different colors. The one on the left was blue and on the right was orange while the middle one was pink. The stuffed human animals were in there as well. For the blue blanket was a black dog, in the orange was a little brown monkey and in the pink was a panda. On the right wall was a book shelf in the middle while two rocking chairs were on either side. The left wall had an energon storage unit along with two changing stations and a door that led back into the couple's quarters.

"Wow, it's very large!" Starscream said, smiling. "It's beautiful."

Megatron smiled and headed for his sitting mate. The others took that cue to get out of the room and leave them alone. The Lord placed his hands around the swollen tummy, "They'll be here soon my love."

Starscream smiled too, placing his smaller hands over the large ones, "I can't wait."

That was a lot to write, even if it is crappy.

Now it's time for you to come in; Names for the sparklings.

Remember: there are two mechs and one femme and names have already been said. If you like those names, feel free to let me know. If you've got a name, I'd love to hear it because a lot of the ones I made up were crappy.

Reviews are what I love!
