Chapter 21 Coming Sparkling
Fiendfire groaned as she woke up. Megatron had his arms wrapped around her and his head was resting on top of her own. She sighed as she felt Starscream's spark pulsing gently against her own.
"Week 8." She sighed as she shifted slightly.
She felt Megatron shift and she looked up as he yawned. He turned his optics on and smiled as he saw her. He yawned again and Fiendfire couldn't help but laugh.
"You'd think that it was you who was carrying the sparkling from how much sleep you've been getting lately." She laughed.
Megatron chuckled as he kissed her. He trailed his lips down her neck and breathed gently against her collar as he rested his head on her shoulder. She sighed happily as she felt his familiar weight on her. He kissed her collar then kissed down to her chassis. She giggled as she pushed his head away and earned a whimper from her mate. She laughed as she looked at him and saw that he was making his lower lip tremble and his optics were as wide as they could go and they were watery.
"Megatron!" She laughed. "I'm fine with you kissing me, but leave my chassis alone!"
Megatron sighed as he pulled back and looked down at her. He grinned and pounced on her, leaving her breathless as he kissed her, slid his hands under her back, and pulled her up to him. She lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck. She slid them up to his face, then she ran one hand up to his horns and began to stroke them. This earned a happy moan from Megatron.
Fiendfire smiled as she looked up at him. His optics were closed as he allowed her to continue to stroke his horns. Her smile began to vanish as her chest began to feel like it was going to explode. She let out a gasp of pain as the feeling began to intensify and her hand fell back to her side. Megatron grabbed her and when she looked up at him she saw that his optics were filled with worry.
"I…think that…he's ready." She whispered as she was racked by another wave of pain.
Megatron kissed her forehead. "I'll get Red Alert." He stated as he stood up. "Just tell him to hold off a little longer."
He opened a warp gate and vanished through it. Fiendfire let out a straggled breath as she put a hand on her chest. "Hang on." She whispered as she felt Starscream's spark push against her chest plate. "You can't be moved just yet."
She could feel him ease back as she said that. "I know you're anxious, little one, but you need to wait." She stated around a shaky breath.
She leant her head against the bed and took a deep breath. She lifted her head back up as she heard the warp gate open. She saw Megatron step out of the warp gate carrying a small protoform in his arms closely followed by Red Alert.
"I will never get used to that." Red Alert commented.
Megatron shook his head as he placed the protoform beside Fiendfire and turned back towards to Red Alert. The medic nodded as he walked over to the bed and reached towards Fiendfire. "Ok, now I need you to open your chest plate." He stated.
Fiendfire nodded as she touched her chest plate and opened it, hissing a little from the pain that flared up from her sensitive chest. Red Alert moved forwards and slid his hands into her spark chamber. There was a high pitched screech that Fiendfire was sure was coming from her sparkling before Red Alert pulled back and he held a small, glowing orb, which was whirling extremely fast, gently in his hands. He moved closer to the protoform and he placed the spark in the open spark chamber.
As he closed the chest plate, the whole body glowed a bright blue. Fiendfire sat up and pushed her chest plate back into place. She looked down at the glowing protoform and smiled as the glow subsided and she saw a tiny sparkling form of Starscream staring up at her, his purple optics full of surprise. He looked identical to what the adult Starscream did before he died, except her son had a small pair of purple horns that looked just like Megatron's growing out of his forehead.
She felt a tear slide down her face as she picked up her son and held him to her chest. He let out a soft whirl of contentment as he snuggled into her. She smiled up at Megatron and she saw that he looked extremely proud. Red Alert was staring at the sparkling in shock.
"Are you sure that Megatron is the father?" He asked. "That looks identical to Starscream."
Fiendfire glared at him. "Yes Megatron is the father." She snapped as she stroked her son's head, earning a happy chirp from the sparkling.
"And he looks like Starscream because that is his reincarnation." Megatron stated.
Red Alert spun and looked at him in shock. "Are you serious?" He asked before he leapt to his feet. "Why didn't you tell us!?"
"Simple, it isn't something that you have to worry about." Fiendfire replied.
Red Alert looked at her in shock. "You don't think that we had the right to know that Starscream was being reincarnated as your son!" He cried out.
Fiendfire shrugged. "There wasn't anything to worry about." She stated. "Was there Starscream?" She asked her sparkling with a smile.
He looked up at her and giggled happily. Red Alert threw his hands in the air. "I give up!" He shouted, earning a squeak from Starscream. "I'll just go tell everyone that your kid is Starscream!"
"You do that." Fiendfire replied. Red Alert stomped out of the room, muttering something about Decepticons. "Did he scare you sweetie?" She asked her sparkling.
He nodded his head and hugged her chest tightly as he shook slightly. Megatron sat down beside them and stroked the back of Starscream's head. Starscream looked up at him and his optics widened in fear. He snuggled closer against Fiendfire in an attempt to get away from his father. Megatron looked slightly hurt by Starscream's reaction.
"It's ok Starscream." Fiendfire said softly. "This is your father." She added as she handed Starscream over to Megatron.
Starscream looked at her in shock; he obviously felt betrayed. Megatron cradled him against his chest, letting out soft hushing noises as he stroked his son's head. Starscream looked up at him curiously before he snuggled into his father's embrace, no longer fearful of the large mech's presence.
"There." Megatron said softly. "See Starscream, I'm not going to hurt you."
The sparkling looked happy as he smiled and his optics dimmed and he slipped into recharge. Megatron smiled as he tilted his son so that he was nestled into the crook of his arm. Fiendfire smiled as she saw Starscream yawn and snuggled against Megatron.
"I think we should go introduce him to everyone before one of them turn up on their own." Megatron stated softly so he wouldn't wake up his son.
Fiendfire nodded as she stood up. Megatron stood up beside her and opened a warp gate to the Command center. He checked to make sure that Starscream was nestled safely in his arms before he stepped through after his mate.
Everyone in the Command center turned towards them as the warp gate closed. Leobreaker looked ready to kill them as he stood beside Optimus. The Autobot leader looked a little critical as he regarded the sleeping sparkling in Megatron's arm.
"Not worried that he'll slobber all over you?" Optimus asked with a soft smile.
Megatron chuckled. "Nope." He replied as he looked down at his son, love very apparent in his optics and the way his mouth was set in a smile.
Leobreaker growled. "That little brat shouldn't even be alive." He snarled. "He's Starscream!"
"Everyone deserves a second chance Leobreaker." Fiendfire stated as she stepped closer to Megatron and touched her son's cheek.
"After everything he's done? You still think that he deserves another chance?!" Leobreaker snapped.
Fiendfire nodded. "We don't know what his life was like before he became a back-stabbing jerk." She stated. "We might be able to change him and stop him from ever being like that." She added.
Leobreaker frowned. "Do you really believe that?" He asked.
"Yes, I do." She replied as she looked down at her son as he slept in Megatron's arm.
Leobreaker let out a loud roar. "You are foolish if you think that he'll change!" He snarled. "He will always be like that."
Starscream let out a terrified cry as he woke up and Leobreaker roared again. Starscream started screaming in terror as he heard the loud roar. Megatron tilted him son towards him in an attempt to calm him down. Fiendfire glared at Leobreaker and snorted.
"Was there really a reason for that?" She demanded.
"Reason for what?" Leobreaker asked innocently as Starscream let out a whimper as he clung to his father's chest.
"For making Starscream cry." Megatron stated coldly as Starscream whimpered again.
Leobreaker shrugged. "Wasn't the intended reaction." He stated.
Jetfire walked forward and picked up the crying sparkling. "Aww, did the big, mean kitty scare you little guy?" He asked as he cradled Starscream.
Starscream looked up at Jetfire and nodded. Jetfire rubbed Starscream's head gently. "Don't worry he won't do that again, will he?" He stated, throwing Leobreaker a glare.
Leobreaker looked at him like he was insane. "You're sticking up for him!?" He asked in disbelief.
"He's adorable." Ransack said as he walked over to Jetfire. "Aren't you little Starry?"
Starscream giggled slightly as he looked down at the small Decepticon. Fiendfire smiled as she walked over to Jetfire and picked her son up. She rubbed her nose against his earning a happy giggle.
Author's note: Whoot! Starscream is born! And he's the cutest thing ever!
Starscream: Sweet! Everyone loves me!
Me: See? Know you know why I made things so horrible for you.
Starscream: Hehe, I guess I owe you an apology.
Me: Yes you do…and you can start by letting go of my leg.
Starscream: What? But I'm too cute to resist! T-T
Me: sigh Fine.
