Title: The Wrecker and the Moonlight - part 4
Characters: Wheeljack, Prowl, Jazz
Genre: Romance, Family, Adventure
Description: On Earth, Team Prime meet an old comrade who returns to Earth, with his bondmate, who is sparked, seeking shelter after the downturn on Cybertron. Works up to the birth of the Autobots' future, unlikely 'Godfathers' of the sparkling. At the end, a familiar face appears. Takes place during Transformers Prime... with some of my own twists to make it fit with my plot.
Optimus mused as he stepped through the doors into the rec room from outside the army base, mildly surprised to see the television off, all bots and humans facing the door to the med bay. Wheeljack was sat beside Bulkhead and Smokescreen, tapping on his knees, Bulkhead tapping on legs, humming to himself, Smokescreen tapping on chair. Arcee sat beside Bee with her arms folded, looking in the direction of the med bay, Ultra Magnus looking down at his pedes, clearly thinking of something.
The bots all stood outside the med bay, quiet and all thinking to themselves, awaiting the new arrivals.
Miko groaned first. "How long is it going to take?!"
"As long as it needs to," Bulkhead replied.
"Takes time Miko, as I presume with our own pregnancies, I expect robot ones to take longer," June replied.
"But its been hours!" Miko pouted.
"Its only been about 5-6 hours, be patient kid," Wheeljack replied.
"OW!"
The bots looked up hearing the cries from Jazz, all awaiting the new arrivals. Each of them were eager to meet the twins, but most likely the doc wouldn't let them in unless of emergency, to allow the creators to interact with their newborns and let Jazz rest.
"I hate waiting games!" Miko grumbled, slumping back on the couch.
"How do you think Prowl is taking it?" Smokescreen asked.
"He's doing fine last time I checked, though he did actually pass out at one point," June replied. "Its amazing how reproducing on our planet is similar to you all reproducing. Does that mean all you can be in the same position as Jazz?"
"No, its complicated," Optimus replied, closing his optics hearing Jazz cry again. "Definitely not."
"If the sparklings take after Prowl, will they be stubborn and 'dedicated to their work and bossy'?" Miko asked.
"Or be like Jazz, musical, cheerful and active?" Jack asked.
"Or both?" Raf asked.
"Won't know till they're born," Arcee replied. "Ratchet did mention though that one of the twins has doorwings like Prowl."
"So he'll probs take after him," June added.
Ratchet looked at the readings for Jazz and the twins, nodding. "Vitals are both looking good, and the connections are beginning to break."
Jazz whinced, squeezing Prowl's hand.
"How long you expecting this to take, exactly?" Prowl asked.
"Anywhere between 5 to 12 hours. Those were the longest and shortest times for twins on Cybertron," Ratchet replied. "Good thing not your first."
"Na.. second and third..." Jazz replied. "Afta' our lil Angel.."
Prowl looked down. "I hope she's safe."
"She will beh Prowler... " Jazz smiled up at him and whinced at another contraction.
Ratchet smiled and walked over to the table and prepares some medical tools just in case of an emergency birth is required, noticed the bondmates glance at him. "Incase the cords get twisted, since being twins, could get it stuck around one another."
Jazz nodded, remembering being told this during their first's birth, and gave a cry, tighting his grip on Prowl's servo. Prowl couldn't imagine the level of pain Jazz was going through.
"Have you two thought of designations?" Ratchet asked.
Both bondmates nodded.
"Ah like musical names... if one of them looks like meh, ah wanna call 'im 'Refrain' if a mech, and 'Harmony' if a femme," Jazz replied.
Prowl smiled. "I like the name Crosswise if mech, and Lacuna if femme."
Ratchet nodded and smiled at the choices. "Seems suitable given both your personalities."
Jazz nodded before giving a cry at another contraction.
"Ow!"
The bots all whinced at the cries coming from the medical bay.
It was some time before the bots all heard what they wanted to hear... the faint crying of a newborn.
All the bots stood up or looked up from their seats eager to know what it was.
Jazz and Prowl both looked up hearing the cry to see the medic lifting up the crying sparkling.
" 'ello lil one.." Jazz smiled at the sparkling.
Ratchet walked over to the side and cleans up the sparkling of the energon all over its body, the little one making lots of noise as it did so.
The bots all looked up upon hearing the second sparkling's cries, all the bots clapped and sighed with relief knowing both sparklings were OK, the sign being the crying emitted from the twins.
The humans were most excited the most.
"Calm down you three, we're all as eager to see the newborns as you, but Ratchet will give the order for when ready," Optimus assured them.
On cue, the medic walked outside the med bay doors, a bright smile on his face.
"So?" Miko asked.
Ratchet chuckled. "Twin mechs."
"Mech? Boys?" Miko asked, looking down. The reality of having more mechs in the group and less femmes, Arcee also showing her disappointment, but as long as the mechs were healthy.
"Can we go see them?!" Miko asked.
"No, Jazz and the twins need their recharge, so let them be, once Jazz's recovered and the twins have been cleared will you see them," Ratchet replied.
"Awwww..." Miko moaned, slumping back down on the couch.
"I'll reformat anyone who goes in," Ratchet joked. "Probably be that way for rest of the day since the sparklings are vulnerable to almost everything."
The rest of the bots were eager to see the new arrivals, but Ratchet was right that they needed their rest, and so had to wait to meet the newborns.
The next day was the day the twins were allowed outside the medical bay. Ratchet had cleared the twins and discharged them and Jazz.
In rec room, everyone waiting patiently for their first appearances.. And rewarded.
Ratchet walked outside first, smiling at the bots. "They're coming out now."
The team and humans all stood up waiting for the sparklings to emerge. Being also the twins were of noble 'blood' so it was appropriate to address them that way.
Prowl was first to emerge, all optics looked down at his chest, his arm holding a small white and black doorwinged mech with a red chevron, the almost spitting image of him, recharging in his sire's arms.
Jazz emerged then, holding the small silver mech in his arms with a visor over his optics, almost spitting image of himself, the small mech was awake, looking up at the rest of the team, cooing.
"Awww!" Miko took out her phone for snaps, in which the creators posed with the twins.
"What have you two named them?" Smokescreen asked.
Jazz smiled, looked at the mech he was holding, who looked up at his carrier, then glanced at Smokescreen and babbled. "Ah named 'im Refrain."
The small sparkling looked up hearing the name and babbles.
Prowl chuckled, cooes to Refrain who looked up at him and waves arms about cheerfully. Prowl looks at the sleeping mech in his arms. "This is Crosswise."
Crosswise was currently recharging, but soon woke up, bright blue optics lit the room, since Refrain had a visor, Crosswise had optics, everyone could see the difference.
The humans climbed down the steps and stood before the creators and smiled.
Then came a question that was unexpected...
"Can I hold one?" Smokescreen asked.
Prowl's doorwing twitched, but Jazz smiled. "Course, Smokey."
Prowl watched as Jazz walked over with Refrain, the little mech looked up curiously at him. Smokescreen gently holds him under his arms and lifts the mech from his carrier's arms.
Refrain babbled at him, Smokescreen chuckled and gently bounced him, earning a fit of giggles and babbling.
"Being a sparkling of Jazz, guess he won't be quiet," Bulkhead chuckled.
Refrain babbled again, looking up at Smokescreen and giggles, before his gaze looked behind Smokescreen and he reached forward towards it, his hand making grabbing motions. Smokescreen was confused and looked behind him, only seeing the wall.
"Seems 'e's taken a liking to ya doorwings," Jazz chuckled.
Smokescreen didn't know what to do, but held the sparkling on the crook of his arm and gently tickles his abdomen, earning squeals and giggles from the sparkling.
Jazz looked up at his bonded. ~Ah've been thinking... ta human term, God-parents... Ah'm thinking weh should get God-creators for ta twins... if something 'appened ta us both... someone weh trust ta look after the sparklings~
Prowl nodded. ~I agree. And I suppose you believe Smokescreen to suit that for Refrain?~
~Ah do, 'ave ya figured out someone for Crosswise?~
~I believe so.~
Crosswise babbled in Prowl's arms, looks at the rest of the bots and cooed, blinking his bright blue optics, before his gaze fell on the Wrecker and cooed, holding his arms out.
Wheeljack blinked in surprise and didn't move. Crosswise frowned.
"He definitely got your frown Prowl," Arcee smiled.
Prowl frowned, earning some chuckles from his comrades. "He wants a cuddle."
Wheeljack rolled his optics. "Fine..."
Crosswise babbled happily, as his sire walked over to the mech and hands him over. Crosswise placed both servos on the Wrecker's chest, before reaching for his helm fins and tugging.
The other bots all chuckled at the sparkling's actions, laughing more at the frown from the Wrecker.
"He likes you Jackie," Bulkhead laughed.
Crosswise babbled and pulls a cute puppy dog expression.
"He got that from you Jazz," Prowl stated. "When you play innocent to avoid trouble."
"Ya mean Prowler," Jazz laughed. "Ah enjoy winding ya up."
"Wait..." Miko was first to point out. "Crosswise looks just like his dad, but acts like his mum, and Refrain looks like his mum, but acts like his dad... Opposites?!"
"Yeah," Raf said. "Good to see some similar to both the twins." He looked up at the creators. "Do you bots decide on god-parents too?"
"Weh do," Jazz replied. "Meh and Prowler just spoke about it."
The bots all looked up.
"Because of being of noble blood," Prowl shrugged.
"Who did you pick?" Smokescreen asked.
Both mechs looked at the rookie.
Smokescreen's optics widened. "Me? How come?"
Miko even nodded agreeing why they chose him.
"Refrain is 'appy round ya Smokey, and ya like an Uncle ta 'im," Jazz smiled. "Long as lil' Refrain is 'appy, ah am 'appy too."
Smokescreen was still surprised, but one cute expression from the sparkling nearly melted his spark. "Of course I will."
Refrain smiled up at him, and babbles, looked at his twin still tugging on Wheeljack's helm fins.
"And ya can beh Crosswise's god-creator," Jazz giggled.
If that didn't make the Wrecker freeze, nothing would, as he froze to the spot, even the sparkling's optics widened in surprise.
He didn't have the time to answer when the comlink beeped. Ratchet was first there to look and answer the embedded message.
"Hello, this is Starship 'Guardian Angel', anyone receiving?"
Prowl looked up hearing the words 'Guardian Angel'. "Is that...?"
Ratchet opened the comlink, showing two figures on screen. "State your identifications."
"I'm Angel, and this is my comrade."
"Your name?"
"I don't have one, since mama refused to name me without my father there."
Optimus approached the screen. "Who are you looking for?"
"Angel?" Jazz looked at the screen.
"Hey mama, is papa there?"
The bots all widened their optics. Prowl went into the view.
"Angel."
"Papa! So good to see you both again! What gives about the security?"
"Decepticons on this planet."
"We're gonna land and maybe we could be groundbridged? No one tracking us as we know."
"It would be wise to be groundbridged to not reveal our location in the event you are being tracked," Optimus replied. He looked at the other femme.
"I'm here on my whole life long mission to find my sire."
"And who would that be?" Optimus asked.
"Wrecker Wheeljack."
The mech in question's optics widened really wide and crashed, Crosswise caught by Bulkhead.
