I do not own any of the Transformers characters, only the sparklings...
I don't own the songs used... This is pure fiction
Jazz and Prowl love
(4 months later, 1 month to Christmas day, 9:51am, November 25th, Autobot base)
All the Autobots where awake in Teletraan 1 control room, when Spike and Daniel arrived.
It was a month to christmas but the Autobots knew nothing of it. But Jazzo knew as he had always hung around with Daniel and learned a bit about it.
"I will have my sparkling brother on that day!" Jazzo cried.
Spike and Daniel looked at Jazz and realised.
"Oh, we didn't know you were pregnant Jazz. Is it a girl or a boy?" Spike asked.
"A mech," Jazz replied.
Spike and Daniel exchanged confused looks. Jazzo whispered in Daniel's ear.
"Oh a boy. I bet you cannot wait to see your little brother can you?" Daniel asked.
Jazzo was giddy. "I can't. And it's been 9 months already!"
Spike chuckled. "You'll be a excellent big brother. Me and Daniel have already began buying presents for you and your brother."
Jazzo squeaked in excitement.
Prowl laughed. "Acting just like he did when he was 1 spark year old."
Jazz laughed with him.
Then Optimus entered. "No sign of Decepticons. We're free to christmas."
"It's the only greatest day of the year. The day baby Jesus was born, it's important to everyone," Daniel said.
The Autobots exchanged confused looks with each other. This time, Daniel whispered to Jazzo.
"Oh,"he exclaimed. "He was a king? With mother Mary and dad Joseph and he was christian?"
Daniel laughed.
"So what now?" Spike said.
Everyone noticed Jazz with a huge grin on his face.
"Uh oh..." Jazzo said. Then he smiled. "DANCING!"
Teletraan 1 was on the TV channels when it changed to the music channel.
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along
So a day when you've lost yourself completely Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
"Hey man, this song's awesome!" Jazz said.
"No wonder he's Jazz!" Spike shouted over the loud music.
When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along
"How long will this song go on for?" Daniel asked.
"What?" Spike asked over the music.
"Wild! Rock'n'roll is rocking!" Jazz joked. He felt the little mech kick inside him to the beat of the music. "Well feel that, the little one loves it too."
Jazzo sat with Daniel and Spike as they watched the Autobots dance.
"Looking forward to seeing your little brother on christmas, but even considered the Decepticons could arrive on that day to get rid of him?" Daniel said.
Jazzo's optics widened. They better not ruin my life again!
(Christmas eve, 7:14am)
Jazzo woke up and stretched his arms, with a smile on his face. Christmas eve! Yay! I will be a big brother tomorrow!
He looked over at Jazz and Prowl recharging peacefully and he sighed.
(For the past few days, Jazz did complain of headaches and tummy pains. When taken to Ratchet, he discovered the sparkling was bigger than normal, and would weigh must more than a normal newborn sparkling.)
Jazzo chuckled thinking about it. Not only will the sparkling be a mech, but he might be a little dolly to me. Could I keep him?
He climbed off his berth and looked over at his books he was given on his past sparkdays and christmas.
The life of Timmy Turner...Star Wars...Aliens...Musicals...
"Hm, Thomas the Tank engine." Jazzo said. Sliding the book from the rack, he sat on the edge of his berth and opened the book and began reading.
It was some time reading the book that Jazzo didn't realise the time passing by. He got so interested in the book and his favourite train, Gordon the blue engine, as he didn't Prowl wake up and tiptoe right behind.
Jazzo felt air on his forehead and when he looked up, he was startled by Prowl.
"Dad,..." Jazzo began laughing as Prowl tickled him.
"Happy christmas eve son," Prowl said.
"You too dad. And mum!" Jazzo replied.
"We better go and let your mother sleep. Big day tomorrow for Jazz and the birth of your little brother," Prowl said.
Jazzo nodded. Climbing of his berth, he and Prowl left the room.
Jazz woke up later. Yawning, he looked at the time, 10:13am.
Climbing off the berth, he felt a sharp pain rush through him. Struggling, he tried to take a step. After a few, he was too exahausted to walk.
Whatever Ratchet told him about the sparkling was true. He was really huge. His tummy was expanded quite bigger than when he was pregnant with Jazzo.
But what was the sharp pain for? Was it a warning sign about the sparkling?
Jazz layed down on the berth and sighed. It was worth this for Jazzo. Just one more day to go and it'll be over.
He went back into recharge as he needed it for tomorrow, or today?
Later, Jazzo and Prowl realised Jazz still hadn't come out with them. They headed back to his chamber with some energon to find out.
There, they did find Jazz wasn't recharging, but just laying on his berth looking up at the ceiling. He looked up as they entered.
"Hey there, you two," he said. He did sound breathless.
"Hey what's wrong? You haven't got up yet?" Prowl asked, handing him the cube.
"No," Jazz replied, taking the cube and gulging the whole cube in a few seconds, before taking a breath. "Just too exhausted to get up. Earlier I wanted to come out but after a few steps it was too tiring. I decided to stay here."
"Ohh..."Prowl exclaimed. "Ratchet said the sparkling takes up most of the mother's energy in the last few days for a final growth before it's born."
Jazz chuckled. "Well he's definately took it all. I can hardly move without being tired."
"Then you really need rest. Take some more time to rest and I'll inform Ratchet," Prowl said.
Jazz nodded and began recharging.
Prowl nodded to Jazzo and they both left the room.
The night ended on Earth. In Autobot base, the christmas tree and decorations were being brought over by Spike and Daniel tomorrow, as they decided they would put up all the stuff when the newborn Autobot arrives.
Jazz kepted turning over all night and finally woke up and realised it was still dark.
Looking over at the time, the clock said 04:52am in the morning of Christmas day.
Then why have I woken early? he thought to himself.
He sat up and looked at Jazzo and Prowl. They were still recharging.
At that moment when he sat up straight, a flow of electricity ran thourgh him, and sparks ran all over him. It made him flung back on the berth.
Prowl was woken and he quickly looked at Jazz. "Are you alright?" he asked, wrapping his arms around Jazz.
Jazz shook his head and clutched his tummy. "I think the sparkling is coming!"
"I'll fetch Ratchet!" Prowl said and he ran out the room.
Jazz's moans awoke Jazzo. One look at Jazz made him gasp.
He stood on the berth beside Jazz. "Is my baby brother coming?"
Jazz managed a slight nod. Jazzo sighed and stayed close to Jazz to accompany him when Prowl ran in with Ratchet close by.
Ratchet examined him. "Yes, he's coming alright. But you've been in labour for quite some time now."
Prowl covered Jazzo's optics, as Ratchet took a look to see how far Jazz had dilated, but saw a huge shock.
"Oh Primus! He's coming! Get him to the medic bay and quick!" Ratchet ordered.
Prowl had to carry Jazz there when Bluestreak heard all the commotion and had come in to help. He was looking after Jazzo as Jazz was whisked off to the medic bay.
(In medic bay, 5:21am, 11 hours, 15 mintues in labour)
Jazz was in the medic bay, laying on the berth, screaming out in pain.
Ratchet was at the birth-hole watching the progress of the sparkling. Prowl was at Jazz's side, holding his hand, tightly. Well Jazz was squeezing his hand actually.
Jazz's screams had woken the other Autobots, and some were in the medic bay, helping out while others guarded the medic bay, especially Ironhide.
Jazzo was stuck outside listening to all the talk inside and his creators.
"Can't I be in there helping mum?" Jazzo asked Ironhide.
"Na, Ratchet's orders. Sorry kid,"Ironhide said.
Jazzo sighed.
"Urrgghh..." Jazz groaned.
"Come on Jazz. Almost there!" Ratchet said.
"It's much harder than when I gave birth to Jazzo!" Jazz cried.
"Like I said, this sparkling is much bigger than average normal size!" Ratchet said. "Now come on!"
"Urrgghh..."
"Almost there now!"
"How much more!"
"Almost there."
"Urrgghhh..."
"Final push, and we have a mech."
"Urrgggh...owww!"
The sound of crying filled the room, and attracted Jazzo's attention outside.
"My little brother!" he cried.
"Is it okay to bring Jazzo inside now?" Ironhide radioed Ratchet.
'Yes. The sparkling is here. But be aware to remind Jazzo, he's pretty huge."
"Sure thing doc," Ironhide said. Picking up Jazzo, he walked into the medic bay.
(Medic bay, 6:01am 11 hours 55 minutes in labour)
"He's enormous!" Ironhide gasped.
"He's almost the same size as Jazzo!" Prowl gasped.
"And he's perfect!" Jazz joked.
The little sparkling was aswell. He was a look-a-like of Prowl and he was like a little sumo wrestler. Sideswipe did make that joke.
Ratchet placed the little mech on the Cybertronian scales, and he gasped.
"You know on Jazzo's birth certificate, he weighed 20kgs equal to 44.0918lbs?" Ratchet said.
Jazz and Prowl nodded.
"Well this little mech weighs 27.216kgs. Equal to 60.1lbs. And he was born at 6:01am," Ratchet said.
"Yikes! That's luck!" Prowl said.
"He's like a little dolly," Jazzo said. "Can we keep him?"
Everyone laughed.
The sparkling was wrapped in a blanket, but that was too small for him, so Jazzo snapped his fingers and fetched his blue blanket he used at night to sleep in.
Ratchet wrapped that round the sparkling and magically that fit. He handed the mech to Jazz, but even in his arms, his legs dangled over Jazz's arm. He was big!
Jazzo climbed onto the berth and sat beside Jazz, admiring his new brother.
The sparkling was sleeping peacefully and didn't stir.
"Hey, Prowl," Jazz said.
Prowl looked at him.
"Wanna hold him?" Jazz asked.
He nodded and took the sparkling.
"You're right, he's huge," Prowl said.
Jazzo leaned over and gently touched his brother's face cheek. "He's a bit cold."
At that moment, as if the sparkling heard him, he moved and snuggled into the blanket, lying his head on Jazz's chest plait and continued sleeping.
"Its like he heard you and responded," Ratchet said.
Then the sparkling slightly opened his optics. Opening them fully, he looked around at all the Autobots, then Jazz and Prowl.
He squeaked!
Jazz and Prowl nodded.
The sparkling sat up and turned around, coming face-to-face looking at Jazzo.
"Hi, little brother!" Jazzo said.
The sparkling titled his head and then clapped his hands, giggling.
"Aww...he knows his family right away," Bluestreak said, sounding sad.
The little mech turned around to look at Prowl when he noticed the look on Bluestreak's face.
The sparkling made some clicking sounds in happiness.
Bluestreak's face lit up as his nephew smiled up at him.
"He knows ALL the family," Prowl said.
The little mech climbed out the blanket and struggled to his feet. He took a step towards Bluestreak and held out his arms. Bluestreak picked up the little mech as his giggled.
"What you going to call him?" Bluestreak asked.
Jazz and Prowl looked at each other with worry.
"Well this time, we didn't have time to think of suggestions for a name," Jazz replied.
"But," Prowl added. "He looks like me but is filled with musical spirit like Jazz. So he's kinder cross between us, and well he looks quite wise don't he knowing his family right away?"
"Crosswise?" Optimus suggested.
"Huh?" everyone said.
"Yes, that's excellent," Prowl said. "Little Crosswise."
The little mech looked up hearing this name, and clapped wildly.
"And he agrees," Jazz said.
Crosswise giggled and then his smile faded as he looked down.
"Someone's thirsty," Ratchet chuckled. He knew it and walked off to fetch some energon.
Bluestreak handed Crosswise back to Jazz. Crosswise yawned and snuggled into his blanket.
Ratchet came back and handed Jazz a small bottle of energon for sparklings.
Crosswise opened his mouth and began drinking the energon. Jazzo watched him the entire time when Ratchet handed him his drink of oil too.
Crosswise looked so cute drinking his energon, even Bluesteak admitted that, and Prowl made a face.
When he finished, Crosswise yawned and fell asleep, tired.
Everyone looked at the time, 6:51am.
"Now let's begin this wonderful day of Christmas," Optimus said.
(Teletraan 1 control room, 9:14am)
Spike and Daniel had arrived in their car with the boot and back seats filled with wrapped up presents.
"Whoa! Look at how big his is!" Daniel exclaimed.
"I know Daniel," Spike said. "He's certainly a big fella already at only 3 hours old."
"Let's get ready for Christmas!" Daniel said.
Now begun the christmas day for all the Autobots.
The presents were handed out.
Jazzo was excited as he received his new toys, but he promised to play them with Crosswise when he got older.
Speaking of Crosswise, he and Jazz were allowed to leave the medic bay so they were in the room with the Autobots, but Crosswise was a bit scared.
At just a newborn age, he didn't understand the other Autobots, or Spike and Daniel, or the Autobots' purpose of stopping the Decepticons.
He was wide awake now and looking around at all the Autobots and Spike and Daniel, he curled up in Jazz's arms, unable to reveal himself.
"Aww...he's your new little brother, Jazzo?" Daniel said.
Crosswise heard him and took a peek at Daniel, and giggled.
"He sure is. He's named Crosswise," Jazzo replied.
"Crosswise? That's fitting," Spike said and he held out his hand.
Crosswise watched him and whimpered, drawing back from him.
"It's okay. Mummy and daddy are here for you," Jazz said.
Crosswise tilted his head and turned back to Spike and leaned forwards.
Jazz held him out lowered him down and Spike patted his head. Crosswise smiled, and his doorwings flapped wildly.
"How come he's doing that?" Spike asked.
'He's happy.' Prowl replied.
"Like Jazzo said, he's like a huge dolly," Daniel joked.
Crosswise gasped and folded his arms, glaring at him.
"Haha, someone didn't like the joke," Jazzo laughed.
"Well while we're all chatting, let's open presents," Spike said.
"Why not let Crosswise open presents?" Daniel asked.
"Good idea. It is his sparkday of course," Spike said. Daniel laughed.
Spike and Daniel walked over to the pile of presents and picked up quite a huge one. They carried it back over to the Autobots.
As soon as Crosswise saw it, he smiled and clapped his hands laughing.
Jazz lowered him to the floor where Crosswise began crawling at first towards Spike and Daniel, then he began to struggle to his feet and walked his first steps.
Spike handed Crosswise his present and at once, Crosswise began tearing at the paper, and the ribbon. Pulling at the ribbon, he fell over with a bump, but was soon back on his feet, tearing at the paper.
Opening the cardboard box, he clapped and giggled at the present inside. A remote control jet.
Crosswise giggled and clapped his hands widily as Prowl lifted the jet out the box.
"I hope I'm not going to be hit again, am I?" Prowl asked.
"You're refering to the remote control car I drove into your leg, dad?" Jazzo asked. Prowl nodded. Jazzo shrugged.
Crosswise took the jet, and sat down, pretending to fly the jet around him.
"It's remote control. You can make it fly on it's own," Daniel said. Crosswise tilted his head.
Crosswise pointed to the jet, and intimidated a plane's 'Zoom!' noise.
'He wants to watch it fly.' Daniel said. Taking the remote control out the box, he flipped the 'ON' button.
"Place it on the floor, it's nose facing upwards," Daniel said.
Crosswise looked confused. Jazzo stepped in and helped Crosswise by taking the plane wheels out and gently placed the jet on the floor, it's nose facing the air.
"Like that bro," Jazzo said. Crosswise looked at it and giggled.
Daniel flipped a switch and the jet engine started. Daniel pressed more buttons and the jet flew up into the air.
Crosswise giggled, pointed at the jet as it flew around the room, clapping.
Daniel handed him the controls and Crosswise fiddled around with them, pressing different buttons and switches. Jazzo laughed as the jet began chasing some of the Autobots around the room.
Jazz and Prowl watched him proudly. "Now he isn't alone," Jazz said.
At that moment, Crosswise flipped the wrong switch and the jet flew down to Prowl, hitting him on the head. He fell down and caught the jet before it broke.
"Uh oh..." Crosswise said.
Everyone in the room laughed.
"Daddy won't mind. That's the second time," Jazzo said. Crosswise giggled.
Prowl shook his head, but even he couldn't resist laughing too, along with Jazz that was.
"Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh Oh!' Crosswise chanted.
"Okay, there's plenty more for you and Jazzo," Optimus said.
Crosswise cheered and crawled over to a few more presents.
(Teletraan 1 control room, 12:03pm)
Wrapping paper was scattered all over the floor, with Crosswise in the middle of it. With Spike, Daniel and the Autobots' help, the floor was all cleaned and shiny again.
"Hey, let's put up the tree dad," Daniel asked.
"Why not?" Spike said.
With Optimus' trailer he drove around with him, he transformed and Daniel and Spike climbed into him as he drove off to the nearby christmas tree store.
(Teletraan 1 control room, 1pm)
Optimus drove back into the room and transformed. He and Ironhide unloaded the huge tree from his trailer and with the stands, they stood the tree up in the corner of the room. Spike and Daniel unloaded the decorations from their car and laid them out.
"Let's decorate!" Daniel cried.
The taller Autobots began putting up the ceiling decorations and the 'tinsel' at the top of the tree.
Jazz, Prowl, Jazzo, Bluestreak, Smokescreen, Hound and Mirage began putting on the baubles on the tree. Crosswise was still ravaging through his new presents.
Daniel went to the car again and lifted out a brown cake like food with white icing and 2 small red balls on top?
"This is what we eat at christmas. A Christmas pudding," Daniel said. "These are the cherries on top to resemble christmas and the white icing is like snow."
"Sure upsetting that we don't eat organic food," Optimus said.
"What were you thinking boss? Christmas energon cubes?" Ironhide joked.
Everyone laughed.
"Haha, Sure thinking that but not now. Let's finish this tree," Optimus said.
The Autobots put up the rest of the decorations till there was only one last decoration to put on the tree, and that was the star.
"Here's the star dad," Daniel said taking out a huge star from out the decorations box. "Let's put it up."
"Why not let Crosswise put it up?" Spike suggested.
"Great idea," Daniel said and he handed the star to Crosswise.
Crosswise studied the star before he began waving it up and about in the air.
Jazz picked up Crosswise and lifted him high in the air to put on the star at the very top of the tree, but even he couldn't reach.
"This tree was the biggest one they were selling," Spike said.
"So how would we get the star ontop then?" Daniel said.
Prowl snapped his fingers. Stepping forward, he lifted up Jazz onto his shoulders.
"Thanks Prowl, baby," Jazz said.
He lifted Crosswise up and it was high enough as Crosswise gently placed the star ontop of the tree. Jazz carefully lowered Crosswise from the tree top and Prowl lifted Jazz of his shoulder to stand on his own feet.
The Autobots all stood back to admire the tree.
"Let's light the fairy lights. Hit it!" Optimus said.
Wheeljack held a thumbs up and plugged in the lights and switch it on.
The lights lit up in all colours all over the tree.
"Ohh..." everyone exclaimed.
"It's really beautiful," Daniel said.
"Well what else do you humans do on christmas day apart from decorate and bake a Christmas pudding?" Optimus asked.
"Well we sing christmas carols, eat christmas dinner and sometimes the town holds a christmas parade and party for all the residents," Spike replied.
Crosswise yawned.
"Oh...he's getting sleepy already?" Daniel asked.
"He's only newborn. He needs plenty of sleep," Ratchet replied,
Crosswise giggled at his dad and yawned again.
"Let's get him energon before recharging," Jazz said and walked off to fetch energon
He returned with a bottle filled with energon. Holding Crosswise is his arms, he fed him the energon.
Crosswise yawned and fell asleep in Jazz's arms.
Jazz left the room to the recharging chambers to lay Crosswise in his cot to sleep.
Then Jazzo yawned.
"All this excitement from your little brother being born got you up early. You need sleep too," Prowl chuckled.
Jazzo nodded sleepily and followed Jazz to the chambers.
"We all need an early sleep from the emergency of Crosswise's early birth. Let's all recharge and let's discuss plans for Crosswise's future tomorrow. Autobots, head to recharging chambers," Optimus said.
"Ok. We also better get home for christmas dinner with all the family," Spike said. "We'll all see you all later for a celebration."
"Dad?' Jazzo asked.
Prowl turned and looked down at him. 'Yes?'
"Can I have a sister next?" Jazzo asked.
Everyone looked at him with their optics widened.
There you have it. Jazzo now has a little brother, and want a little sister now!
Is he tiring his parents out or what? They want him happy and that's that.
Next chapter, months after Crosswise's sparkday, there's news that there's more little feet pattering in months time. From 3 unexpected mechs, more little ones will arrive.
Next chapter, I will reveal the last 3 couples. Later I reveal a chapter to each, giving an interview with their news of a sparkling.
