Epilogue: A Safe Future?

The wail from my little daughter brought my attention from the book I was reading. I got the clear to leave the medical bay one month ago, but I was often surrounded by Optimus, Linith and StarDivine, doing things for me since I was still recovering from my injury and the C-Section. Right now, StarDivine was in my apartment in her human Holoform, looking after me and Aurora.

Aurora was in her crib, crying for attention. Since I couldn't walk properly, I sat in a wheelchair and could only move with it. I rolled towards the crib and picked up my little Aurora, rocking her gently.

"Shh… It's okay. Mommy's here now. Don't cry, little one…", I whispered, kissing Aurora's forehead.

StarDivine walked over to me. "Could she be hungry?"

I smelled the air around Aurora before twisting my nose. "No. She needs to change the diaper."

With a nod, StarDivine went to get everything for the diaper change. She put everything on my bed, spreading out a certain blanket that would not leak through onto the bed covers. I laid down Aurora on the blanket and tickled her stomach, making her giggle. When I removed the diaper, StarDivine turned away while groaning in disgust.

"You are one of the bravest soldiers I have ever seen, Carrier", she complimented. "How can you stand the stench?"

I chuckled, "Well… It's the secret of a human mother."

"But…does not the stench bother you?"

"It does, but you'll get used to it."

After I cleaned up Aurora, I put the new diaper on and kissed the little baby's forehead once again. I couldn't resist spoiling my child with lots of love.

StarDivine helped me put away the items and dumped the old diaper in a special trash can in the kitchen cabinet which no smell could come out. Aurora had stopped crying and was sleeping once again. I lifted her up slowly without waking her as StarDivine pushed on the wheelchair towards the crib. I lied down Aurora in the crib and put the covers over her body. She was making such cute sounds in her sleep.

"Do you wish to go outside and get some fresh air, Carrier?" StarDivine asked. "I will watch over Aurora while you are outside."

"Are you sure?" I questioned.

"It is all fine", StarDivine assured. "I will com-link you if Aurora wakes up."

I smiled back at my adopted daughter. "Thank you, Star."

StarDivine opened the door for me so I could roll out to the corridor. Then I moved the wheelchair and slowly made my way outside.

The sun was really strong and the air felt heavy by the warmth. I couldn't remember when it was this warm on Diego Garcia last time.

*Insert Song: "New Divide" by Linkin Park*

I rolled towards the training area where Linith, the mages and few Autobots were mostly training. I watched from afar and saw how lively they were. Those who could fly seemed to enjoy being up in the air. I missed flying very much; it always felt like freedom and everything was all right even though the Cybertronian War was still going on.

I got surprised when I felt a pair of arms embrace me from behind. I looked over my shoulder to see Optimus's Holoform's happy face. "Optimus…"

Said Autobot chuckled, "What's the matter? It's like you didn't sense me coming up to you."

I was a bit stunned when he actually hit the nail on the head. I really didn't sense when he had walked up to me.

"Actually… I really didn't sense you", I confessed.

Optimus arched an eyebrow. "Is that so? Have you lost some of your telekinesis power?"

I nodded before a thought appeared in my head. I had heard from Simmons that my mother used to have telekinesis, but then the power was transmitted to me when I got born, so was it possible…?

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me

"Stella?" Optimus asked with a worried voice.

"Optimus…", I looked up at him. "I think some of my telekinesis got transmitted to Aurora during the birth."

Optimus's eyes widened by the news. "A-Are you certain?"

"It's only a theory, but we might get our answer when Aurora grows up."

I felt Optimus's arms hold me tighter around me. "I promise you; I will protect you and Aurora with my entire Spark, even if it means risking my life-"

"No!"

I turned around with the wheelchair with an angry expression, shocking Optimus. "I don't want to hear your 'I will risk my life for you' tale anymore!" I placed my hand on Optimus's cheek. "I want you to live for me, Aurora and StarDivine. Without you, I feel…incomplete. I want you here…with us."

Optimus exhaled as he grabbed my hand gently and brought it up to his lips, placing a kiss on the hand. "I'm sorry. It's just…I would give up everything, even the title of Prime, to protect you and our daughters."

I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me

I smiled as I caressed his cheek with my fingers. "I know you would do that, but you can't abandon your soldiers, your comrades. You're needed by almost everyone, but remember one thing." Optimus remained silent, waiting for my next words. "Your family will always be there, waiting for you with open and warm arms. A family where you can be yourself. Not a leader, not a soldier. Just…a father for our children, and a man…for me."

Optimus bent down to eye-level with me before he pressed his lips on mine. I placed my arms around his neck, bringing him closer as we moved our lips in perfect synchronization. I could feel the passion and love through Optimus. How did I get lucky to have a man, or bot, by my side and even have a family now? It was beyond my imagination.

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

We pulled away from the kiss, placing our foreheads against each other while looking in each other's eyes. "How did I get such fortunate to have you by my side?" Optimus questioned.

I chuckled, "I believe destiny brought us together."

"It could be", Optimus replied.

We looked towards the training area, seeing how the mages and Autobots were working together in perfect sync. We needed to be prepared for Megatron's next move. I only wished…the Cybertronian War would soon end. Not just for the Autobots, but for us humans as well. So we could be together with our Autobot boyfriends in peace and harmony.

So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the Floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the Floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss
In every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the Floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide

Across this new divide
Across this new divide

XXXXXXXXXX

Second book done! It took a bit longer than I wanted, but I had been so lazy lately that I didn't want to work on any of my stories. But I came back and rewrote "A Thousand Years of Secrets".

"Primus's Blessing" will be up shortly, so stay tune!

Once again, thank you for the faves and follows! :)
