The next morning, Megatron slowly woke, stretching carefully against his mate. He still couldn't fathom how he was carrying sparklings. This was not a situation he had anticipated, but with Primus having changed things, everything was different now. Yes, he was still the ruler, yes, there still was peace, but it was a different kind of peace – a real peace. He hoped that this time, things would last.

Megatron wanted to lie in bed for a bit longer processing things, but his churning tanks left no room for that possibility and he rushed into the refresher. Bee, having been woken by the shaking of the bed when his mate left so hastily, soon made his way into where his mate was.

Retch.

That was the sound bee heard as he headed in. He knew that sound, oh he knew it, as he had done it many times when he was carrying their sparklings. Bee, though smaller than his mate, tried to help comfort Megatron, whose tanks continued to rebel. Bee, having heard about something that might help, tried applying counter pressure to different areas of his mate's back. Most did not have the desired effect, but finally, one area did. Bee pushed the area hard, hoping it would help. Thankfully, with the added counter pressure, Megatron stopped purging his tanks and fell back against the far wall.

"Take it easy" Bee said, comforting his mate and waiting to given Megatron energon.

Megatron felt dizzy and weak. "How…How did you do this?"

"I don't know, I just did it, as I saw little other way of dealing with it. You were…. gone most of the time and didn't allow me to have the certain help I needed" Bee said, making Megatron feel ashamed of himself. "But rest. I have energon for you when you are ready for it."

Megatron nodded and slowly breathed in and out, hoping to pass this dizzy spell. Soon, Megatron felt ready for some energon. "Please…Bee" Megatron said.

"Ok, but we will go slow. No sense in encouraging your systems to purge your tanks again" Bee said and Megatron nodded weakly. He hoped no one else would ever see this, as he didn't want his place as leader to be usurped by anyone, former Con or Autobot.

Soon enough, Megatron finished the energon, but instead of feeling energized, he was tired. Bee helped his mate back to the berth. Megatron was out the moment he hit the pillow. Bee tucked his mate in, kissed him softly on the check and then went out to chat with friends again. Bee left energon near the berth and informed the medic of Bee's leaving Megatron in the berthroom alone so that the medic could watch over things.

Bee was leaving because he had questions. And the only both he could think of to ask was his former leader – Optimus Prime. And so bee made his way over, hoping Optimus could still help.
