Chapter Fourteen
Bumblebee pulled to a full stop and carefully transformed into his human sized robot mode. He laid Sari down on the flat paved road.
"Easy now Sari, just relax…"
Sari let out a scream of pain.
"Dad, do something." Alexis shouted.
"Like what?"
"I don't know…something"
Bumblebee just stood in one place, panicking.
"Why don't you look to see the head?"
Bumblebee stared at Sari's stomach.
"How is a head supposed to come out of her stomach?" he asked.
"Dad, it doesn't come out from her stomach." they said.
"Then where?"
"Umm…" there was a pause. "You really need tutor-bot more than we do."
"Just tell me where." He said.
"Well, that's it…you see…" she went to his ear and started whispering. Then Bumblebee eyes popped opened and let his jaw drop.
"Where?" he said again.
"I'm not telling you AGAIN." Alexis said.
"Ah slag."
At the abandoned plant…
"NO!" Darklight screamed, "I'm not letting you get in the way again Autobot." he flung Prime across the room. "We're not loosing them a second time. You two, I don't care how you do it, JUST KILL THOSE LITTLE SLAGPILES." he roared at Bonecrusher and Devastator. Without hesitation, they zoomed after them.
Ratchet couldn't bear the sight of what the two might do to them, so he followed as fast as he could.
The Jet Twins were occupied with Blackout, at the moment, but felt like they were losing.
"I don't think we can hold them!" Bulkhead said taking another swing at Barricade, but the big Decepticon wouldn't go down.
"I don't get it. How could they take so much of a beating." Sentinel said behind his energy shield.
Then they heard laughter from above. It was Darklight hovering over them. "You actually think you're giving us a beating? You're dumber than I thought, way dumber."
Sentinel didn't like it one bit, he charged the leader with all he had, but was stuck back by a very powerful punch. Prime noticed a light when the Con's fist made contact with Sentinel face, then realized…
"The KEY."
Back with Bumblebee…
"I am not looking down there!" he declared.
Sari let out another, long scream of pain.
"Alright fine."
He slowly lifted up her dress and took a peek, then…
THUD!
He fainted.
"(Sigh)…men." both girls said.
"Why not call Ratchet?" Dash said.
"How? Its not like we have phones or something."
"What about dad's com-link?"
"That might be the smartest thing you EVER said."
They rushed to their unconscious father and poked his head for his com-link, while Sari laid in pain.
"Where is it?" they looked everywhere.
"Here."
They pushed on a part of his audio receptors and toned in for Ratchet's signal. A while later they got it.
"Hello?" JR shouted.
"Kid, you're alright." a glad Ratchet said through the channel.
"Yeah. Yeah. Listen, mom's in labor. What do we do?"
"Your mom's in what? NOW?"
"Yes now." Alexis shouted back.
"How's she doing?" the medic asked.
Then Sari let out another scream.
"Do we need to answer?" a sarcastic Pepper said.
"Alright, keep her calm and I'll get help." Ratchet said.
"Wait. You're not coming?" Dash asked.
"Human births isn't my field of medicine, kid. But I might know a few people who could know. Just hang on."
Then the line went dead.
"What do we so now?" Crash asked.
"Like he said. Keep her calm." Alexis said.
Then they went to attend to their mother in labor.
Back at the plant…
"Come on, you're not even trying." Darklight said to the Autobots who were getting exhausted.
"He's too strong. This is more difficult than I thought." Jet Storm said.
"How are they still standing?"
"Its that key." Prime explained. "We need to get, then we'll be the ones who can take a beating."
"Secretly snatching? That our specialty." Jet Fire said and pointed to his brother. Just like that, one of them flew off and the other went the opposite direction.
"Wait!" Prime shouted.
"Leave them. They know what they're doing." Sentinel said holding Prime back.
Back with the family…
Sari was breathing hard now and was moved from the middle of the road to the side.
"Stay calm mom, Ratchet's on his way." Alexis tried to keep her steady.
Then came Ratchet. He pulled to a full stop not far from where Sari laid. Then out popped Prof. Sumdac and Captain Fanzone. Soon after they hopped out, Ratchet went robot mode, looked around, and saw Bumblebee on the ground.
"What happened to him?" he asked.
"Oh, you know, fainted, the usual." Crash said from Sari's side.
Then the three rushed to the woman in labor and begun the delivery.
Back at the plant…
"Ah slag it! You little pest!" Darklight was swinging like crazy as he tried to hit a fast Jet Fire.
"You must be quicker than that."
In the background, Prime, Sentinel, and Jazz were occupied with the other Cons. While a silent Jet Storm whooshed through the calamity and was able to appear behind Darklight without being noticed. Carefully he reached for the Key, then suddenly…
"Ahhhh…"
Darklight had caught the pesky, flying Autobot in mid air. But this didn't stop Jet Storm from snatching the key and flew as fast as he could away from the con leader. Once far enough, he threw it at Prime, who in time, caught and used it on himself. With a bright light, he flung Blackout like a rag doll.
"Now it's a fair fight."
Back at the roadside delivery…
"Alright Sari, a couple more pushes." Prof. Sumdac said.
"An ambulance is on its way, just hang in there kid." Fanzone said putting his phone away.
"Why don't you five get your dad up, he's been out for some time now." Ratchet pointed to the yellow robot who was lying on the floor gimp as a fish.
"Okay…we'll try."
They shook him, slapped him, even bit him. But nothing worked. Till finally, when Crash accidentally grabbed a pole and hit Bumblebee in the groin area he jumped up.
"Yeeeowwwww!" he shouted, "What was that for?"
"To wake you up. And I didn't mean to hit you there." Crash explained. "but mom's in labor."
Without hesitating, Bumblebee rushed over to the other and helped with keeping her calm and relaxed.
"How's she doing?" he asked.
"Alright, just one more push, and…"
Sari gave a final push and out came a full term baby. She laid back and caught her breath. While she did, Sumdac dried the newborn as much as he could and Fanzone grabbed a fluffy blanket to wrap it with. Bumblebee tended to his exhausted wife and held her.
"You OK?" he asked.
"You…" she said, "You did this." and gave him a kiss.
Then Fanzone came over with the bundle of joy and said, "it's a boy."
"Great, what we need, another boy." the girls said.
"Speak for yourselves, we're just glad we aren't the youngest anymore." The twins said.
Sari held her 'first born son' and saw he had black hair and same skin color. At that moment, an ambulance pulled up and out came two paramedics. But they weren't the only ones that showed up. Followed by the ambulance, were the two Cons.
"I told they were here." Devastator said. "Just follow the screams."
"Shut up and kill them already!" Bonecrusher roared. And the pulled out big guns.
"NO!" the five teens made a line in front of their mother and stood for battle.
"Isn't that nice, a whole family of Autobots, time to die!"
Then out of now where, an axe sliced the back of Devastator, and caused him to fall. They all turned to see the rest of the group speeding their way. A wave of happiness filled every face, even the paramedics. But not the Cons.
"You, Darklight didn't have enough nuts to offline you all?"
"No, we offlined him." Prime said holding the head of the fallen Decepticon leader.
"Impossible." they said.
"Nothing's impossible." Ratchet said.
"Yeah, just look at what me and Sari did." Bumblebee stepped in.
"Not helping."
"You can surrender or fall." Ultra Magnus said.
"You'll never take us online. Megatron has bigger plans, you just wait." and with that, they shot themselves and fell down, for good. Then quiet.
"That was…odd." Bulkhead broke the silence.
An hour later…
"You can go in now." Prof. Sumdac told the crew, who were waiting outside Sari's room. They rushed in and found Bumblebee asleep and Sari holding the newborn.
"I think this is yours." Prime gave the key to Sari, who put it back around her neck.
"Thanks for keeping it safe. I don't know what I'd do without this." she gazed at it.
"Now hold on, I think that should stay with me." Ratchet came in, "If this key is what gave you this sparkling…"
"Baby!" everyone said.
"Whatever. We don't need more of these running around the base. Five in far too much." he finished.
"Don't worry, I'll take it off we do 'it' again." she said.
"Eww…"
"Just kidding."
"Either way, you gotta be more careful." her dad came back in.
"Why is he still sleeping?" Bulkhead pointed to Bumblebee.
"Oh, you see, while my dad was checking the new one here, me and Bumblebee, were talking then he just fell asleep." she explained.
Then Bumblebee woke up and was startled.
"Oh hey guys…um…how long were you here?"
"Don't worry, we were just leaving." Prime said.
The rest followed, even Sumdac, but Ratchet stopped at the door and turned to the two.
"No more bonding for a while." they blushed and he walked out, locking the door so they wont be disturbed.
"Man what a day." Sari said.
"I know."
"But I guess it wasn't all that bad." she smiled at the baby boy.
"So, another one, huh?"
"Hey! He's not a thing. He's a person. And yes, we have another baby."
Then it went silent for a while.
"Hey Bumblebee?" she called.
"Yeah?"
There was a long pause.
"I love you." she said.
"I love you." he said back.
