It had been weeks, both Megatron and Ryder had been kept in the Medbay. Their mates not allowed to see them. To say tensions were high in the base was a understatement. Optimus and Bumblebee could not stand to be near one another, both blamed the other for what happened. Neither knew the truth and refused to hear otherwise. However in the Medbay it was a different story…Ryder and Megatron had actually ended up being next to each other and although both were currently unconscious they seemed to not mind being in each others company. Ratchet had kept a close optic on them both, Samuel was due to have the twins in a matter in hours on this particular day, Megatron should have been awake by now but it seemed as though he did not want to wake up. Sam groaned and looked around, he felt light headed and groggy. He looked over to see Ratchet standing there, tired and nervous.

"Hey R-Ratch" Ryder slurred and Ratchet jumped. He quickly walked over and rubbed Ryder's helm.

"Good to see you awake little one…though right now probably would not have been desirable" Ratchet mumbled.

"W-why?" Ryder said getting a little more better.

"You are about to give birth to twins" Ratchet said and Ryder's Optics got large.

"W-What?" Ryder slurred again.

"Now calm down…you are going to be fine" Ratchet said and looked at some monitors. Ryder nodded and looked over a Megatron.

"How is he?" Ryder asked and Ratchet sighed.

"Perfectly healthy he just wont wake up" Ratchet growled and began to walk away.

"R-ratchet can I see Optimus?" Ryder asked and sat up. Ratchet nodded and soon Optimus had ran to his mate and began to kiss him passionately, they eventually separated and looked at each other, Optimus had misty optics.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Optimus asked and smiled.

"I thought you would glitch" Ryder said and rubbed his cheek.

"Ryder…I would have" Optimus chuckled and sniffled, "But then I would have thrown a party…I…we are having twins!" Optimus shouted and kissed Ryder again.

"I know…" Ryder said smirking at the excited mech in front of him.

"Well whoop-ty-freaking-do!" A hate filled voice said behind them. They looked to see Bumblebee standing their very pissed.

"Bumblebee" Optimus said and Ryder looked at his ex-best friend.

"How could you?" Bumblebee asked glaring at Ryder.

"I..I didn't mean to" Ryder said annoyed.

"Not that!" Bumblebee shouted and pointed to Megatron.

"Primus Bee I told you…I didn't! It was Starscream!" Ryder shouted and moaned in pain.

"WHY WOULD HE HURT MEGATRON!?" Bee roared out.

"M-Mates bee…they were mates…Starscream was having Megatron's kids…." Ryder said and Ratchet ran over to him and shouted something in cybertronian…something along the lines of 'its time'

"M-megatron h-had kids?" Bee asked as he was rushed out of the medbay

Hours later

Bee sat in his quarters staring at the wall. He no longer felt anger toward Ryder…he felt anger toward Megatron…he never told the scout he had been mates with Starscream…he never told him Starscream was going to have his kids…and now he might never get the chance…His thoughts were interrupted by a energon curling scream and then quiet. Bee rushed toward the sound and found himself at the medbay doors. Bee sat down in the chairs that the soldiers had created for them to wait in. A little later Ratchet walked out and smiled at bee.

"They are here…." He said and motioned for bee to enter. Bee walked in and over to the two new parents, Optimus was holding a small bot and Ryder was smiling at the other smaller one in his servo.

"H-hey bee…" Ryder said a little weakly.

"Hi Ryder…" He said and looked at the two sparklings. "they are adorable" Bumblebee said.

"Thank you…Bumblebee…I am sorry for what happened.' Ryder said and Bee sighed and looked down.

"It wasn't your fault…he never told me…and I was to stubborn to listen to you…." Bee said and looked over at his mate. "What are their names?" Bee asked and Ryder and Optimus smiled.

"This one is Lazarus or Laz for short" Sam said and Optimus smiled at the sparkling in his servos.

"This is Roam" Optimus said and Bee smirked at Ryder.

"Laz?" He asked and Ryder shrugged.

"I remember it when I was in college" He said and Bee nodded.

"I am going to go now" Bee said and they looked at him.

"Why?" Optimus asked.

"I have a lot to think about and I just need a moment" Bee said and they nodded.

Later that night.

Bee walked into the medbay and sat next to Megatron and rubbed his servo. He jumped when he felt a grip on his.

"Your awake?" Bee asked and Megatron nodded.

"Yes my love…I have been since two hours ago" Megatron said and looked over at Bee. "I'm sorry for not telling you about what I did with Starscream…." Megatron said as if reading Bumblebees mind.

"Its fine" Bee said with misty tears.

"No its not…I should have told you…." Megatron said and sighed. "I feel like I betrayed you" Megatron said and Bee shook his head.

"You didn't" Bee said and Megatron smiled at his mate.

"I did…will you please forgive me?" Megatron asked and Bee nodded.

"Thank you…." Megatron said and inhaled sharply.

"Megatron" Bee asked and the older mech looked over.

"Yes my little bee?" He asked.

"Are you okay?" Bee asked and Megatron smirked.

"No" he simply answered, there was silence unlike any other between them for a few moments, Bee looked at Megatron and realization struck and he felt tears run down his face plates. Megatron rubbed Bee's servo.

"H-hey its going to be okay…" Megatron said rather weakly.

"W-why?" Bee asked suddenly.

"Remember that day in the restaurant…when I explained how I came back to life?" Megatron asked and Bee nodded.

"Y-yeah you said you made a deal with Primus" Bee said and wiped the tears.

"Mhmm…but I left one thing out" Megatron said getting increasingly weaker.

"W-what?" Bee said almost sobbing.

"There was another compromise….the deal was if I did become a autobot and find love then I would get to live and if I were to offline I would go to well of allsparks and not be tortured…in exchange…I gave up my greatest strength" Megatron said and bee watched him.

"What- what was your greatest strength?" Bee asked as he watched his love one begin to fade.

"My spark cage" Megatron wheezed. "When Starsceam shot me…he slice through my spark….it was so thin that it looked as if it wasn't there" Megatron said and coughed. "Bumblebee…thank you for forgiving me and giving me what I have always wanted more than anything" Megatron said.

"What was that?" Bee said and Megatron smiled.

"Love" Megatron said and faded completely. Bee curled over Megatrons servo and sobbed loudly.

"You are welcome my mate" Bee said and kissed his helm, he cried himself to sleep that night.

Years later

Ryder smiled at his two younglings who were playing with some of the soldiers on base. They were now 10 years old. The past decade had been rough on everyone…especially Bumblebee, who had to explain what happened that night. He had become very depressed but when the younglings had decided to adopt him as honorary Big Brother he began to act like his old self again. Optimus and Ryder paid close attention to the young scout though…they wanted him to feel like this wasn't an end…it was a new beginning….for all of them, and it was…the Decepticon threat had been rid of and their new base, known as Autobot City had been completed…they could now live in peace, which Bumblebee knew…he just wished that he had someone to share it with….

"Hi" Said a voice that snapped the young scout out of his thoughts. He looked over to see a familiar face, a young mech by the name of Smokescreen standing there. He had joined about a month ago and had taken quite a liking to Bee. Bee smiled at the mech, Smokescreen was about his age and had similar qualities that he had.

"Hey smokey.." Bee said as Smokescreen sat next to him.

"You are thinking about that night again…aren't you?" Smokescreen asked and Bee nodded. It was no secret to anyone how Bee felt about that. It was also no secret that Smokescreen tried his best to help him with it, though it seemed like nothing worked…that is why Smokescreen resorted to what he was about to do.

"Bumblebee?" Smokescreen asked the scout, who looked over at him.

"Yeah Smokey?" Bee asked and froze when the mech kissed him passionately, Bee was shocked to say the least but took one look at the mech kissing him and suddenly couldn't stop himself. He kissed back and pinned the mech down.

"Smokescreen?" Bee asked and the mech looked at him.

"Yeah bee?" He asked.

"Do you want to go out?" Bee asked and Smokescreen nodded. Maybe the scout wouldn't be alone after all.

Ryder smiled at Optimus as the two watched Bee and Smokescreen making out.

"I told you" Ryder said and kissed his mate.

"I know…" Optimus said and held Ryder close.

"Do I get my prize?" Ryder asked and Optimus chuckled.

"Not until the kids are asleep" Optimus whispered causing Ryder to blush and smiled.

"Ryder?" he asked.

"Yeah?" Ryder asked.

"Thank you for not marrying her" Optimus said and kissed Ryder again.

"No problem" Ryder answered.

This is the end. This is the end. There is no book 2.…this is the last chapter. This is the end!
