As the months past by for Katy to have her twins soon there came a distrubing call and it was for Crystal.
"Crystal," said Beth as she came up to her sister who was in the nursery. "It's for you."
"Okay," sighed Crystal as she took the phone and left the nursery. "Ratchet watch over them."
"I will Crystal," smiled Ratchet as he examined the children.
Crystal then went to a place where no one could hear her and there took the call.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Crystal?" asked her fiance. "Crystal where have you been?! It's been months and I haven't heard anything from you. I thought you were dead!"
"Crystal is everything alright?" asked Ratchet as he came to her.
"Oh, I'm fine," said Crystal. "Ratchet, may I have a . . ."
"Oh, right," shook Ratchet as he left her alone.
"Who's this Ratchet?" asked her fiance.
"Uh, no one," said Crystal.
Crystal then sighed and knew that she couldn't keep this 'secret' from her fiance any longer. He had to know and she had to tell him.
"Look," she sighed. "You need to come down here and find out for yourself."
"Find out what? Is everything alright Crystal?" he asked.
"No," sighed Crystal. "Not really."
And so Crystal's fiance came to the dam and she had to let him know.
"Crystal, Crystal where are you?" he asked as Simmons showed him around.
"Just be paitent, she'll come," said Simmons.
"Look!" said Crystal's fiance as he grabbed a tight hold of Simmons' collar. "I want my fiance NOW!"
"Then here I am," came Crystal's voice.
He turned as Crystal stepped out of the shadows and showed herself. He was afraid and he was about to run and hide, but Crystal bent down and said-
"Please don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."
"What . . . what did they do to you?!" he gasped. "Is this why you came here . . . to be turned into a . . ."
"Transformer?" finished Crystal with sad optics.
"Is that what you are?!" he gasped.
"I wasn't always like this," she sighed. "My body was destroyed by another transformer and the autobots had no choice but to put what was left of out minds into these bodies . . . to save us."
"Who are the autobots?" he asked.
"We are," said Shotaius Prime as they all stepped out to meet him.
He couldn't believe all that he was seeing. He then saw Beth and Katy were the same as Crystal.
"Even Beth and Katy?!" he gasped.
"All of us," said Crystal.
"Then what are you going to do . . . how are we?" he started.
"We can't," sighed Crystal cutting him off. "I am still Crystal, but the Crystal you knew was killed on her birthday . . . the Crystal you knew is gone."
"I . . . I understand," he sighed.
"I'm sorry," sighed Crystal. "I wish it didn't have to be this way."
"Good-bye Crystal," he said leaving.
Crystal then stood up straight and whispered one last good-bye to him-
"Good-bye."
And so Crystal's fiance was never seen again by them. Crystal and he had to move on and so that is what she did. Watching the sparklings made Crystal happy and all was glad that she was happy. More months had passed and January came as quick as the wind on a windy day.
"So what do you think they'll be?" asked Beth as she sat with Katy.
"I'm hoping for girls," smiled Katy as she rubbed her enlarged belly. "Wouldn't that be cute?"
"Yea," smiled Beth. "Do you think they'll look like your or Bumblebee?"
"Who knows," smiled Katy. "Hey and what about you huh? Are you expecing any sparklings soon with Shotaius?"
Beth let out a couple of laughs and then said-
"I don't know really. He said whenever I'm ready he'll be ready, but I think I don't want any till we get to know each other better."
"That seems like a good idea," smiled Katy.
"So when are they expected Katy?" asked Beth.
"What's today?" asked Katy.
"The eighth," said Beth.
Katy's optics then widened as she stood up. She looked like she was about to panic or scream at the most. Beth then stood up and asked her-
"Katy, what's wrong?"
"Today!" she gasped.
"Oh my . . . we have to get you to Ratchet!" gasped Beth as she took Katy to the doctor.
Ratchet was in the middle of checking up on the children again when Beth and Katy came bursting in the nursery. Katy looked like se was trying to catch her breath and Beth looked in an aweful lot of panic.
"Katy, Beth, what's the matter?" asked Crystal coming up to them.
"Ratchet!" cried Beth coming to him. "Katy's going to have her babies!!"
"What?!" gasped Crystal nearly dropping Optimus.
"She's going to have her babies!" said Beth as plain as she could.
"Then let's get her to the medical bay shall we," said Ratchet as he came to help Katy.
After Katy was taken to the medical bay to have her twins the news was spread throughout the dam about Katy getting ready to have her twins. And the twins were the ones to deliver the news. They came to the control room where all the autobots had gathered and told them all.
"Hey guys, Katy's having her babies!" they exclaimed.
"What?!" gasped Jetfire. "Well that was quick."
All then turned to Bumblebee who was frozen stiff with shock and surprise.
"Do you think he'll be alright?" asked Sunstreaker to his brother.
"Who knows," shrugged Sideswipe.
"Well I want to see how things turn out," said Wheeljack as he left to see the twins' birth.
"Alright," said Shotaius. "Let's all go see how things turn out."
And so they all waited outside the medical bay to hear the news of their birth, but so far all the heard was Katy crying out in pain and saying-
"I thought humans were the only ones to have labor pains!"
Beth and Crystal were with Katy in there and Beth would inform them when something happened like one was born or if things weren't going so well. After the sound of a crying sparkling came Beth came out and said-
"Bumblebee!"
Bumblebee jumped at hearing the child first cry and then Beth come out calling for him. He turned to her and she smiled and said-
"You have a son."
She then went back inside.
"Hey, good job BB," smiled Jetfire slapping him on the back. "A boy huh? might have known."
Bumblebee gave a smile at the thought of having a son. He has a son! But then his smile vanished as another cry joined with the first. Beth then came out saying-
"Bumblebee!"
They turned to her and she smiled and said-
"You now have a daughter."
She then went back inside. All cheered and were happy for Bumblebee as he was the proud father of a son and a daughter . . . twins! Then after a couple more minutes Ratchet came out and all stood and waited for him to speak.
"You may see them now," smiled Ratchet.
And so they all entered to see the sparklings. As they came closer to Katy who held the two sparklings in her arms Ratchet told them how the birth went.
"The birth went well and they are both as healthy as any normal one birth sparkling."
"That's good," smiled Wheeljack.
"I wanna see the babies!" shoved the twins wanting to see them.
"Take it easy will ya, I just gave birth to twins you know!" grumped Katy holding her babies away from the shoving transformers.
Bumblebee then came beside his wife and just gazed at his sparklings. He was so proud of havig twins and he was so proud of his wife who was tough enough to have them. He smiled as he gazed at them and then at his smiling wife. Katy gazed at her husband with soft optics as she gave them to him and said-
"They look just like their daddy."
Bumblebee then held his children in his arms and saw their small bodies and tiny optics just starring at him. He would cry if he could just seeing them healthy and alive. They were all he could ask for. They were perfect.
Bumblebee then leaned down and gave a kiss to his tired wife. Katy then leaned back in her bed and decided to rest up from her twin's birth.
"Aw, aren't they cute," softly smiled Ironhide. "Now matter how long I've lived it still amazes me to see sparklings come to be."
"Hey, how old are you anyways?" asked the twins.
"Now don't you start with me!" he pointed.
"Oh, let me get a picture of Bumblebee and his sparklings!" smiled Jetfire as he ran off to find his camera.
"Baby, baby," said Optimus reaching out and touching the babies.
But soon they began to get a little fussy at him touching them and so Crystal took Optimus away from them.
"Yes babies Optimus," she smiled walking away. "Now come on Optimus, it's time for your bedy-bye."
"No matter how long I'll be here I'll still never get used to that," said Jetfire as he came back in with his camera.
He then came to Bumblebee and readied to take a picture. Bumblebee smiled and held the babies up to his chest.
"Hold it, hold it," said Jetfire as he pressed down to take a picture but then it froze and it would not take a picture. "Aw come on! Stupid camrea. Hhh, let me get another one."
And so Jetfire left to get another camera, but it took him a while to find another one and so when he came back he still found Bumblebee in the same spot he left him.
"Wow . . . talk about posing," chuckled Jetfire as he tried for another picture, but again it wouldn't work. "Oh for the love of Primus!!"
And so all enjoyed that day and the birth of Katy and Bumblebee's twins. There were amny changes that day but they were all for the good and Crystal didn't mind if she had to watch more sparklings for more was better than one less.
