Chapter 4
Primus, when did a little Megatron show up?

Tai thought she could handle anything. She handled fighting Decepticons, she handled the fact that Soundwave was still out there hunting her, she could handle the twins (both sets), and she could handle Sparrow...
But man, pregnancy was a completely and totally different thing for her.
She couldn't believe how much it was effecting her. One minute, she was glowing with happiness then the next she was crying her eyes out due to the fact that she could no longer drink coffee for the duration of her pregnancy. Or raving mad one second when someone even said hi to her. Apparently, par Cybertronians were very hormonal.
Barricade finding out that his charge was pregnant was a very eventful moment. He had arrived back at base from a scouting mission, only to be taken aside by Ratchet. Tai watched in amusement as Ratchet made very interesting hand gestures as he explained. The look on 'Cade's face was quite funny. He did like three double takes before he pointed at her while mouthing...'Really?'...
She nodded with a shrug.
'Huh.' The ex-Con sounded amazed. 'How did that even happen?' A slight pause told him all he needed to know. 'Ew..nasty..' He shuddered, sitting down on the bot couch. 'So...when are you gonna get fat?'
He winced as one of Tai's comic strip converse hit him in the head.
Jazz was found hiding in the weapons storage closet. Barricade had placed his cannon down and was about to close the door when he paused. What the frag?
'Jazz...' He said in a annoyed voice. 'What're you doing?'
'I'm hiding...' The Silver mech said simply.
'Oh really?' Barricade drawled. 'From who?'
'You.' Jazz whimpered, now ducking behind a large cannon, that most likely belonged to Ironhide.
Barricade rose an optic ridge. Sure, he swore to himself that if Jazz tried anything, he'd kick his aft to the next dimension. But for some reason, he couldn't seem to do it. If Tai was happy, he was happy. Besides, deep down, he really liked sparklings. Sparrow was always following him around when she wasn't attached to Tai's hip or Jazz's ankle. Although, he'd really wish she'd stop calling him, 'Uncle Oreo.'
'If I promise not to maim you, will you come out?' He asked.
'Possibly...pinky swear?' Jazz stuck out his clawed digit. Barricade rolled his optics. 'Fine.' He linked his own claw with Jazz's and the Silver mech shuffled out, nearly tripping over various tubes and hoses.
'Barricade.' Optimus deep regal voice made them both jump slightly. Jazz 'eeped' and hid behind the taller mech, which made Barricade roll his optics again. 'Jazz.'
Jazz waved, still hiding.
'Afternoon, Prime.' 'Cade greeted gruffly. 'I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you know the whole situation.'
'Oh yes.' The Prime sighed. Whoa, was that a dreamy sigh? Barricade was surprised. He seemed rather happy. He thought that he would be seething with rage. Maybe he missed the 'Were- Prime' moment. Damn.
'And you are okay with it?' The mustang asked again, sounding shocked.
'Of course I am.' The Leader smiled. 'My daughter is carrying a new sparkling, this is very happy news...' He noticed Jazz was still hiding.
'Jazz...stop hiding.' He said in an amused tone. The Silver mech poked his head out. 'I'm frightened...' He whimpered.
Optimus shook his head. 'Jazz, I apologize for hurting your shoulder..I admit, I was very irritated that you bonded with my daughter without telling me...but..' He placed both of his large hands on Jazz's shoulders. 'I cannot think of anyone better for her to be with.'
Hearing those words come from his commander made the Silver mech relax instantly. 'You...you really mean that, Optimus?'
The prime nodded, smiling. 'Take good care of her. She is my whole world and I would do anything to make sure she and the unborn sparkling are happy.'
'I promise, Boss-bot.' Jazz nodded. 'I promise with all my spark.'
Optimus nodded with a grateful smile. 'Good..now, everyone, we have plenty of work to do.'
'What kind of work?' 'Cade asked curiously.
'We have a whole base to Sparkling-proof...and this is a rather large base.' Optimus walked away, daydreaming of his future grand-child scampering around.
I wonder what they will name this one? He thought to himself.

(2 months later.)
News spread rather quickly at NEST headquarters about Tai's pregnancy. When Lennox and Epps found out, they were shocked. How could a alien robot get a girl pregnant? But then the confusion turned to joy when little Annabelle started rubbing Tai's slightly bumped tummy and started talking to the little unborn transformer.
'Hi little robot, I'm Annie, and I gonna teach you all kinds of stuff!' The little blonde, pigtailed cutie then started talking about how she was gonna teach her...she was convinced Tai was having a girl...how to have tea parties, play dress up with Sparrow, and how to make mud pies. Optimus and Ironhide couldn't help but find the small human girl very adorable and they both chuckled slightly. Tai thought that was just the sweetest thing ever, and immediately her hormones kicked in and she burst into tears.
'That...that was the cutest...thing...ever...' She turned and buried her face in Sarah's shoulder, who hugged the girl back. 'God, this pregnancy thing bites...I feel like I'm crying every five minutes..'
'Oh that's nothing, honey..' Sarah said, patting the techno-organics shoulder. 'Wait until you pee when you laugh...'
Tai whimpered slightly.
'Or sneeze.' She added, not seeming to notice Tai's discomfort. Tai whimpered even louder.
'Or blink.' Tai buried her face in her Dad's ankle at that one.
Epps was very happy for her and Jazz. 'Well, congrats Tai, I thin' you two will be great parents, Sparrow is turning out pretty decent..'
As if on cue, the little femme bolted in, this time wearing a Karobi hat. For some reason, the little femme really liked hats. Especially of anime characters. When she saw her mommy and her new 'sissy'...like Anabelle, she insisted that that Tai was having a femme. She even named it Haruhi...which didn't surprise Tai in the slightest, she bolted over and rested her small audio receptor on her small bump. 'Hi Haruhi...it me again, just saying hi!' She then gave Tai's tummy a small kiss and scampered away, most likely going off to play with Anabelle or to harass Barricade.
Optimus glanced down at his daughter, who had a odd look on her face. 'Tatyana...sweetheart, are you alright?'
Tai sniffed loudly, tears starting to stream down her face. 'Now I'm crying again!' She wailed out. 'This sucks!' She stormed off. But before she left the room, she turned around, now smiling. 'Love you, Dad!'
Optimus and Irnohide were flabbergasted.
'Please tell me this is how bad it gets?' Ironhide asked Sarah.
'Not even close.' The woman said, feeling pity for the Autobots.

Loud groans and gasps escape Tai's mouth as she tried in vain to get her old jeans on. She was laying on her smaller bed, figuring they would slide on easier if she was in a horizontal position.
'God Damnit!' She yelled out, giving up with a loud huff. 'I'm so flipping FAT!'
Jazz poked his head in. 'Babe, what are you doing?'
'Arrgg..' She finally gave up, laying back. 'Wallowing in self pity for my waistline...'
Jazz, however, wasn't listening. He was just staring at his mate's stomach. Even after these two months, he still couldn't believe that that was his sparkling growing in there. Not to mention, on its own.
Tai saw his expression and couldn't help but smile herself. 'Amazing, huh?' She asked, poking her round stomach.
'Completely.' He said, sitting down on the floor next to her.
'You ready for this?' She asked, sitting up now. 'This is...well...huge...' She looked down. 'Literally.'
'Babygirl, I am ready for this...' He said in a gentle tone. 'This is gonna be great, and whoever this little one will be, he or she will be incredibly loved.'
Tai smiled and leaned her head on Jazz's spark casing.
Maybe she could handle this.
Maybe.
