Author's Note:

So I must admit that this story will continue on past TF 4. I believe that this story will be my favorite thing to write for! I loved TF 4 by the way and I plan on seeing it again sometime soon! Plus... Spoilers are going to be in this.

Chapter 9: The Game Has Changed

The shock of hearing those words made Jaime feel uneasy and nervous at the fact she was going to be carrying a child, no scratch that it was a sparkling. Something she had created with Optimus. Jaime smiled as she let out a laugh and smiled as she looked at Ratchet. "Does Optimus know?" She asked. Ratchet shook his head no and pointed towards the door. "It's best you tell him yourself." He said as he left the room. Jaime didn't know how she would exactly word this to Optimus. She looked at the ultrasound picture again and smiled.

The sparkling was barely formed but it was noticeable of what it was. Optimus walked into the room and looked at Jaime. "I thought you died... Ratchet told me he had to bring you back a few times." He said. Jaime frowned as she looked down then placed the photo down. "Optimus... I came back for you and not only that... A sparkling... We're expecting a sparkling, Optimus..." She said as she began to cry, her tears were of joy.

Optimus looked down at the photo and saw the photo. He did indeed see a sparkling and looked at Jaime. She smiled more as she nodded her head. Optimus felt deep in his spark that he had to protect Jaime and their unborn sparkling no matter what. "Ratchet told me after I awoke up." Jaime said as she looked up at Optimus.

Optimus nodded his head as Cade came in and frowned. "You have to see this..." He said. Jaime carefully stood up and walked into the other room with Optimus behind her. A few moments later, images of Leadfoot's head being melted down came across the wall. A moment later, Ratchet's head appeared being melted down as well. "The government is doing this... I don't understand why they would allow this." Cade said as he got out of Drift. Jaime frowned as she shook her head and couldn't believe this. "But why...?" She asked.

Before anyone else could say something, Optimus became angry and started to attack the building. "It's your government that's hurting us and hunting us down... From now on were only looking after us." He said as he aimed his guns at the small group of humans. Jaime held her hands up and glared at Optimus. "Don't you dare put us into that group... We've been trying to save your afts. Optimus... You think that we would do that? No. Just calm down..." She said. Cade nodded his head in agreement. "Look... I helped fix you and so did Jaime... That right there proves that we're all not like that." He said.

Optimus vented a sigh as he looked over at his comrades. He knew that Cade was right in a sense but he was still angry about their government killing their comrades and melting them down. "Ratchet? How did you survive that?" Jaime asked as she looked at the Mech. Ratchet sighed as he pointed over towards Drift. "He found my spark near my body and in a sense we can come back if the Matrix of Leadership is used." He said.

Jaime turned away from Optimus as she knew that this was odd for the Autobot leader but then again, she could see why he would be so mad. "Optimus... You didn't mean it did you... I mean does that include me as well? The one person who... Nevermind." She said as she walked out of the room. Jaime leaned against the wall and began crying. She didn't want to believe it but then again what did she know? A normal twenty something who ended up in Transformers 4 and barely knew what Prime's true back story was.

Cade gently placed his hand on Jaime's shoulder and frowned. "What is going on between you two?" He asked. Jaime sighed as she wiped her tears away then looked at Cade. She explained everything to him even about her expecting a sparkling. Cade stood there stunned for a few moments and shook his head as he went back into the other room. "We're gonna get into that place and find their secret then use it against them... Then we can get what we want." He said. Tess raised an eyebrow as she looked at her father then at her boyfriend. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"What we thought was the seed isn't. That was a decoy. That place... Holds it. Joshua who is the owner has it... No wonder he was so willing to throw me to the wolves." Jaime said as she came back into the room. "Galvatron wants it to make Transrium. To build a huge army to over take Earth... Primus told me that when I was out... I'm not giving up on anyone... I don't care if it even kills me." She said, there was a slight bright blue glow to her blue eyes.

Optimus vented a sigh as he looked at Jaime. He saw how strong she could be even when he couldn't be. Optimus nodded his head as he knelt down next to Jaime. "You are right... We better get a move on going through with this plan." He said. Cade smiled as he clapped his hands together and grabbed the small drone that they captured from earlier. "They won't even notice us going in." He said then began working on the drone.

Jaime gently got into Optimus' hand and watched as he lifted her up. "I didn't mean you when I said that... I just... I didn't know your government was doing that." He said. Jaime leaned in and gently kissed Optimus on his lip plates. She smiled as she gently plated her hand on his cheek. "I know... It just hurt a bit when you said that..." Jaime said as she looked into his optics. She moved her hand to his chest and felt the hum of his spark. Jaime felt more at ease as she rested her head on her hand. "Your spark is basically a soul... We're alike more than you know." She whispered.

Optimus smiled as he heard this and gently ran his finger against her back. "I promise to protect you and our sparkling." He whispered. Jaime smiled as she looked up at Optimus. She knew that this might be the only time they would have free and be able to be close. "Never let me go, Optimus." Jaime whispered as she closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment. Little did anyone know that Lockdown would be finding them soon enough.
