Karly's POV:
Right now both Sounds and I are feeling rather nervous, because right at this moment we're standing in front of my mother, with my dad beside us, ready to tell her our 'secret.'
"What is it that you wanted to show me?" My mother questions curiously.
I gulp before speaking.
"Um Sounds and I have to tell you something." I say.
She cuts in.
"Your pregnant aren't you?" She says.
I throw my hands up.
"What the flip is up with everyone and thinking I'm freaking pregnant! I AM NOT pregnant." I snarl.
My mother smirks.
"Then what is it?" She questions.
"Soundwave is an alien robot from a planet called Cybertron." I say bluntly.
She stares at me a moment, then looks over to Soundwave, before laughing.
"That was funny, but seriously what did you want to tell me?" She questions still chuckling.
I sigh.
"It's true love, if you don't believe them then let them show you." My dad pipes up.
She sighs with a scowl.
"Fine." She says following Sounds and I.
I grab Sounds hands and smile over at him, noticing his rather nervous.
"What's wrong, why are you so nervous?" I question.
"Tradition on Cybertron: Should the creators of a femme disagree with the suitors proposal of courting, then there will be no courting, no matter how much the mech or femme like or love each other. Soundwave: Wants to continue courting you." He says.
I give him a squeeze of the hand.
"We'll be fine Sounds, now do your thing." I grin as we step foot into the forest.
My mother stands beside me an impatient look on her face, before she yelps when Soundwave's holoform disappears.
"Wh…where did he go?" She questions in shock.
I grin.
"That was just a holoform, he's showing you his TRUE form…Oh and mom, please don't scream." I say with a smirk.
She sends me a glance, before she gasps when Soundwave comes into view.
"HOLY SHIT!" She exclaims.
Soundwave casts me glance and I give him a smile before holding my arms out. Gently he wraps one of his appendages around my torso, getting a gasp from my mom, before he lifts me up and sets me on his shoulder. I look down at my gaping mom with a wide grin.
"Mom meet Soundwave, this is Soundwave's real form." I grin.
She stares a long moment, before shaking her head.
"Uh I have no clue what to say, this was….unexpected." She says as my dad wraps an arm around her waist.
Suddenly Soundwave kneels down, and looks at both of my parents.
"Soundwave: Requests permission to continue courting your daughter." He says.
I smile at him, before looking to my parents. My dad gives him a thumbs up.
"I already gave you the clear. Dear?" My dad questions looking to my mom.
Her face gets stern, causing a small bit of fear to bubble up into my chest.
"Do you TRULLY care about my daughter?" My mother questions.
Soundwave nods.
"You wouldn't do anything to harm her?" She questions with a raised brow.
"Never."
She smiles widely, before it disappears when my dad whispers something into her ears. She sends me a menacing glare making me shrink back.
"Karly DeAnne Harlem! Why in the HELL did you not tell me and your father about your almost rape!" She snarls.
I stiffen, and get slightly defensive.
"W..well I…. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to worry you, plus I wanted to cover Soundwave, because he KILLED those men, and I was afraid if I'd tell you, you would call the government or something." I say.
My parent eyes widen at hearing that Soundwave killed the men, before my father speaks up.
"I hope you beat them to the dirt." My dad says with disgust in his tone.
My mother nods.
"Its not exactly the most nice thing for us to say, but any parent would agree with how we're viewing this. So don't worry dear, we're glad that Soundwave took care of those pathetic men, just don't go around killing people for the heck of it." She says sternly before a brown hair gets in her face making her puff.
I nod and grin down at her.
"Okay." I smile.
"Can we come out now?" I hear Frenzy question.
My dad slowly scoots away from my mother, and gets behind a tree, making me snicker at both my dad and my mom.
"Yep, come on out, and introduce yourselves." I call.
Instantly Rumble and Frenzy are crowding my mom, explaining who they are and what not, and surprisingly she's taking to them better then my dad.
"I got grandbabies! Even though their like millions of year older than me, but that doesn't mean you can get pregnant, if that's even possible." My mom glares at me.
I hold my hands up in surrender, before watching her excitedly communicate with her 'grandbabbies.'
"Well I guess that means your apart of the family Sounds so….Welcome to the family!~" I grin at him.
He grabs me gently in his servos before holding me up next to his visor, like he normally does. I smile at him looking him directly where his eyes are, before kissing him on the cheek area.
"AWH~" I hear two voices coo.
I look down only to see my mom with her phone out looking at a picture, with both Rumble and Frenzy peering over her shoulder. Rumble glances up before waving Soundwave over.
"Look boss! It's Ma as a sparkling~" He grins.
My eye twitches at the sound of my nickname as well as the picture sharing, and I feel Soundwave move a bit before he's looking at the photo.
"I got more at the house, come on!" My mom grins excitedly, bouncing on her heels.
I groan.
"Someone stop her!" I growl.
Soundwave gives me a look, and I can feel the smugness radiating off of him as he plops me down, before he onlines his holoform and his real body disappears somewhere.
He doesn't even help me up, he just flashes me a smirk as he follows my mom, Frenzy, Rumble, and my dad.
"Asshole!" I call.
I hear a faint chuckle, and I pout before standing and dusting myself off. Quickly I follow after the group with a scowl on my face.
Several minutes later…
"Awh boss isn't she adorable!" I hear Frenzy coo as he peers over my moms shoulder as she sits on the couch, both symbiotes in their true forms since their about a human's size if not slightly larger.
Soundwave is peering over from my mom's side, occasionally sending me smirks as mom shares embarrassing photos and stories.
"Mom, I swear if you don't stop I'm gonna pull a Jeff." I growl my arms crossed as I sit on the other couch.
She grins at me.
"Sorry love, you're not scaring me." She grins slyly.
I snort.
"Whatever." I growl my cheeks on fire because of my embarrassment.
"Oh and this picture was on Karly's 3rd birthday, I made the mistake in dressing her in pink, so when we got to the place we were having her party, she ended up stripping out of the dress when no one was looking and started rolling in mud." My mom says shooting me a smirk.
My eyes twitches and my cheeks burn an even deeper shade of red.
"Oh what's this, I think it's my inner Jeff the Killer coming out." I growl sarcastically.
My mom ignores me, and I pout. I look over to Soundwave only to see him send me another smirk when no one was looking. I poke my tongue out at him, before I swing my feet around and lay on the couch.
"Wake me up when your done embarrassing me." I huff.
My dad snickers from the side.
"Your mom with never been done embarrassing you." He says.
I growl softly before shutting my eyes, flipping Frenzy off when he poked fun at me, before I final fall into sleep.
Soundwave's POV:
Everything went better than what he expected.
And now here he was looking at sparking picture of his femme, much to her displeasure.
As her mother talked about Karly's sparkling hood he saved each bit of information, as well as snapping photos of the photos for keeping.
He was enjoying this.
Not only was he learning more about his femme, but at the same time he was pissing her off.
He found it amusing when she was pissed.
Her purple eyes would darken, her brows would narrow forward, her nose would be slightly scrunched, and her body language would be more aggressive.
It was.. dare he say it…sexy.
As Karly's carrier shared stories about his femme, Karly sat over to the side on the other couch, a scowl on her face, making him send smirks over at her.
It felt great to freely express his emotions and feel comfortable about it.
He creations loved that he was more expressive, it made them happy to know he FINALLY found someone who made him happy.
Finally after at least 3 hours, Karly's carrier put her photo album up and smiles warmly over at him.
"I wanted to thank you for all of those times you saved my daughter's life, I'm glad you did come into her life, because whether of not she knows it she's opened up a lot more. After her friend's death she just closed up, she didn't talk to us as much and if she did it was small talk. Now we can't get her to shut up." Her mother says before looking over at Karly.
"I'll give you permission to take her back to your where ever you two seem to camp out a lot. She always sleeps better at your place I've noticed, or I would assume any ways since every night she disappears after spending hours tossing and turning." She says casually before grinning.
"And yes I do notice her missing at night, I'm not dumb. The first night she did this I was a little concerned, but since she came back safe and sound each day I decided not to worry too much." She says.
So that's where Karly gets some of her smarts from, because it's obviously not from her father.
Looking over to the sleeping form of his femme a small smile makes it to his face.
"What were you doing before you met my daughter?" Karly's carrier questions.
He looks over at her before speaking.
"I…" He clears his throat trying to talk normally.
"I was trapped in another dimension, I was there for at least 2 weeks, before Karly freed me. Before then I was a part of a faction called the Decepticons, my planet has been at war for millions of years, Autobots the good, Decepticons the bad. The war on my planet eventually destroyed the planet and was a lifeless husk until recently. When the war was still happening I was the third in command of the Decepticons, we came to this planet in search of energon, though the leader of my old faction, Megatron also wanted to conquer this planet as well as the inhabitants. Now the war is over though, and Cybertron is almost back to it's former glory" He says.
She hums.
"Why aren't you returning home, other than for my daughter?" She questions.
He sighs lightly.
"As I said I was apart of the 'bad' side of the war, the Autobots have control of my home planet they would only lock me away as a prisoner, something I'd rather avoid." He replies.
He looks over to Karly before smiling lightly once more.
"Your daughter actually stood up for me when the Autobots tried to capture me, she was even foolish enough to stand in front of me while one of the Autobots fired at me. Luckily the femme that shot the blast noticed her last-minute, the femme was lucky she missed her, otherwise it as you humans say wouldn't be 'pretty." He says before looking over at Karly.
"She's something else."
She chuckles.
"Karly has always been the type to fiercely defend those she loves or care about, even if it's something small she will defend those she loves even if it were to hurt her." She says before ending the sentence with a sad sigh.
"Which is why I'm asking you to not let her do anything stupid, she's like her father, shoot first ask questions later." She chuckles fondly.
He nods, before standing to his feet, by now Rumble and Frenzy had already made their exit as soon as he and Karly's carrier began to talk.
"Good night Soundwave." Karly's mother says before leaving the room.
Looking down at the sleeping form of Karly, he gently and delicately lifts her into his arms, causing her to stir lightly. Walking towards the door, he pushes it open before gazing out at the semi dark sky.
Longing hit is spark.
Longing for Cybertron.
But till the Autobot's calmed down, and accepted his freedom, this was his home.
He just hopes someday he'll be able to show his home planet to his femme.
Looking back down at his femme, he gently lays her on the porch swing of her house, before taking his body out of subspace and offlining his holoform, carefully not wanting to wake the already semi aware Karly, he scoops her up into his servos before stalking into the forest and towards the cave.
He was ready for recharge.
Especially after today.
So how was it? :D Good I hope!
Have a wonderful day/night!
Remember to review, because I LOVE your reviews! XD
