I am going to try to get this posted today because we have a church social this evening. I hope everyone is enjoying the story. I enjoyed writing that last chapter. I figured that it had been a while since I had written on our prestigious Lord High Protector and his mate so I had to do an update on them. I think I would like to focus some on Prowl and his situation because I like all the Autobots with maybe the exception of Red Alert. I don't care for paranoia. I hope that the last chapter was good. Please take a moment to leave a review because I read them all and I even have been known to comment on them. Enjoy!
"Ratchet can I talk to you?" Prowl asked. He was on break from his shift and Prowl had questions of his own to ask the medic concerning Tia's condition. Ratchet looked up from his report and looked at Prowl carefully.
"You want to know how to deal with her since you are not bonded." Ratchet stated flatly. He knew that Prowl would eventually come to him and he had been waiting for the tactician. He understood Prowl's concerns because Prowl was a true Praxian. He would want to care for both the sparkling and the carrier. It was in his programming and Prowl being such a traditionalist would not go against it.
"Ratchet she is not happy and I know it without being bonded." Prowl said. "I want to reassure her that I have honorable intentions but she flinches when I touch her."
Ratchet thought about what he was saying as he looked at Prowl. Ratchet chose his words carefully. "Prowl you are from Praxis. It is in your programming to protect the ones you love as well as any being that would need protection. It is natural for you to take responsibility even for those that are unbounded. I don't know Tia very well but by her actions I can almost guarantee that she is not of Praxian birth and by her fears and anxiety she is thinking that she will be shunned by having a sparkling outside of a bond. Though that is not the view of a Praxian or of Seekers' programming, it is common for other Cybertronians to see her as unwanted. You will have to support her and remind her over and over that you want her as well as the sparkling. She is going to see herself as unwanted and unloved. There is one other thing that you should know. She may need to interface to help with the spark coding and to keep the sparkling stabilized. In most bonds, the couple interface and merge regularly. It is the merging that the sparkling will feel the most. That is important for her too. Can you give her that Prowl knowing that you are not bonded and that your spark belongs to another?" Ratchet looked pointedly at Prowl as he watched the tactician ponder and evaluate the information that he had given the SIC.
"Will it stabilize her in the long run and give our sparkling a better chance at life?" Prowl asked.
"Yes." Ratchet answered.
"Then yes I will and can. After all, it was what got her in this position to begin with. I can't be too adverse at wanted her in my berth." Prowl stated and Ratchet laughed.
"I do believe that Jazz rubbed off on you in more ways than you would care to believe." Ratchet said. "You used to never talk like that."
"Well when you lose the love of your life you don't care what people think anymore." Prowl said softly as he thought fondly of his bonded. "I promised her that I would care for her. When will she need the merging?"
"She is stable right now but as she progresses and the sparklings spark casings start to form she will need your coding to ease the pain." Ratchet told him. He hated that Prowl was in this particular situation. They should be happy and bonded and excited over the upcoming sparkling.
"When will that occur?" Prowl asked.
"She is a month along and the spark will already have travelled to her carrying chamber so that should occur at any time. Before the protoform can complete its form so that it can grow the casing has to be secure. It might not be a bad idea to start merging immediately." Ratchet said. Doc walked in the office obviously hearing their talk over hers and Ratchet's bond.
"She is Iaconian if that will help you deal with her." Doc said quietly. "I don't know much about her background but I do know that she was a survivor of the towers. When she first came she could give Mirage a run on snobbery."
"Well then you have your work cut out. That will explain why she flinches and why she is so upset. To be carrying and not bonded would have her shunned in her society." Ratchet reiterated his earlier remark.
"I will do what is necessary to ensure her happiness and to make her comfortable." Prowl said and he meant it.

"It seems that Tia is out of the field. I have already apprised Lord Megatron about it." Allie said as Optimus massaged her shoulders and rubbed down her back. She had fallen asleep on the couch; the twins had worn her out. Optimus had found her and brought her to their berth but when he laid her down she had grimaced in pain so here he was massaging the soreness out of her muscles and Allie was purring contentedly. He kept the touch deep and soothing to work all the kinks out of her systems.
"Why is she out?" Optimus asked as he continued to lovingly touch her.
"She's carrying. It was a surprise to all of us especially the mech that sire it." Allie said with her eyes closed and a smile on her lips.
"And who is the sire?" Optimus asked even though he knew who she would name.
"It's Prowl." Allie said.
"I figured as much. She will be well cared for." Optimus said as he continued down to her aft. Allie parted her legs and Optimus could smell her desire. He reached down and dipped his fingers in her valve. Her fluid coated his fingers and Optimus could feel his fans switch on as he breathed in her unique scent.
"Allie, I haven't had you in over a week because you have been so tired from our sparklings. Can I have you tonight?" He asked her as she moaned.
"I will never deny you my lord, you know that." She replied as she turned over. Her eyes were laden with desire and Optimus took in her lust drunken state as he bent down to devour her lips. He quickly pinned her under him as they fought for dominance. Optimus easily overpowered his mate as he reached down and dipped his fingers once again in her valve.
"Optimus please." She cried out as he stretched her valve and prepared her for him. She was running hot from his massage and he wanted her now. He removed his fingers as she bucked up and mewled for him to touch her again. "Optimus I need you now. I want you inside of me please." She whispered in his audial and Optimus growled low and long in his vocals. He raised her up high as he kneeled between her legs and placed her legs up in the air with her aft high as well. Allie hated this weak feeling that flooded through her. She trusted Prime with her life but still when he was this dominant it always sent a thrill of fear and excitement through her systems.
"Optimus, please!" She cried out as he licked her valve around its rim hitting sensitive nodes and causing her to scream out in fear and excitement. He was teasing her with his dominance, showing that he could take her at any time, and she hated when he did this to her. She tried to reach at the seams in his thighs but he moved out of her reach as he continued to lick and suck her valve. Allie gave up trying to reach him and thrashed her head on their berth as he suck her fluids until she was screaming for release. Just as she felt her first overload approaching he stopped and Allie screamed from frustration.
"Optimus," She pleaded and begged, crying because she needed release and he wasn't giving it to her. "Optimus! I need you inside me now!" She screamed as he watched her and growled as she writhed on the berth below him. He pulled her up tight against his hot pulsing body and lined his spike up to her valve but instead of pushing into her body he remained there, teasing her and hearing her whimper and plead for him. He might be a dominatrix like Megatron but he could still be sadistic enough to drive her insane with wanting him. He heard the twins cry out and he reached over to turn off the monitor. He reached down and sucked on her valve again as heat spiked through her systems. He then reached in his sub-space and pulled out his grapples and tied her to the berth.
"Optimus, what are you doing?" She cried.
"I am going to take care of our sparklings and I don't want you to move." He said. He then tied her legs apart and pulled out a little gift from Megatron. He watched her eyes grow big as he turned the beads on and slipped them into her valve.
"Optimus! Optimus no! Please my lord!" She screamed at him but he left her there to tend to his sparklings. Optimus walked away tuning out her pleas for him to come back.
Optimus walked in to see Orion and Hot Rod standing in their cribs wanted to be tended to. He closed the door and placed Roddy on the floor as he picked up Orion and held him. It was funny really, Orion was the spitting image of him and yet his personality was completely his own. Hot Rod however, seemed moderate tempered like his mother and yet he too had a unique personality as well.
He cradled Orion for a few minutes, feeding him from the bottle that Ratchet had made and Allie's pumped energon. Orion quickly started nodding and so he placed his son in his crib and then knelt down to cuddle his other son who was waiting patiently while he played with a sparkling toy. Roddy greedily loved on his sire and Optimus chuckled at the little tyke. He fed Roddy until he too nodded off and Optimus placed him back in his crib. He straightened the few toys on the floor and then slowly made his way back to his berth room. Allie was crying on the berth, trembling and upset that he had left her there.
"Why?" She cried out to him as he retracted his interface panel.
"Why? You have done nothing but tease me these past few months and I have patiently taken it. There are times though when I have had enough. This is one of those times." He untied Allie and let her legs go but he left the beads inside her. Her fluid soaked the berth where she had overloaded on her own, embarrassed that the beads had caused it but she was already hot and ready again and Optimus easily slipped into her hot wet valve and Allie mewled at the feel of her mate inside of her.
"Optimus please!" She cried as she overloaded again just from the feel of him. Optimus thought that if this was how Shalon was with Megatron then no wonder they were so good together. Optimus began to slowly slide in and out of her and Allie grabbed at his waist, pulling at the seams and feathering her fingers across his inner circuitry. Optimus growled long and low in his vocals as he pumped into her faster and harder. Allie moaned and thrashed against the berth as she was ridden by her mate.
"Optimus leaned over her body and he crushed her against him. "I want you long and hard tonight!" He snarled as she whimpered under him. He pushed her legs up against her chassis and let them rest on his shoulders as he continued to pump into her while his arm snaked under her and grabbed her by the hair. She cried out and he covered her mouth with his.
Allie was in intense pleasure as her mate continued to rock into her long and deep. The third overload was building and she was powerless to stop it as Optimus growled into her ear. Her own panting, close to his antennae, was caressing and shooting heat through his systems as his spike hit all the pleasurable nodes deep inside her. He growled again as she felt the energy building and with it a scream forming deep within her vocal chords. Optimus released the protocols on his chest and parted it back to reveal his spark and Allie lit her chest in response. She felt the physical overload take her as their sparks bonded together as one. Allie screamed as another overload flooded her systems and Optimus join in with her screams as they both rode the high long and hard.
When they finally came down they could hear their sparklings crying and chirping without the monitor. Allie looked confused for a moment and then Optimus ruefully laughed.
"It seems they feel everything with us." Optimus said. Allie didn't comment. She was still reeling from Optimus' over enthusiasm. "Allie? You are mad at me." He said flatly.
"I don't know. I think you are hanging around Lord Megatron too much." She said as they both stood up and Allie grabbed her robe and put it on. "She saw the beads laying in her fluids on the berth and she blushed. She never realized that she could cause so much fluid to leak from her.
"I'm not sorry I did that to you. You enjoyed it even if it embarrassed you." He said as he wrapped his arms around her from behind. "We have a long life together and I like to explore all pleasurable possibilities. If it bothers you that much I will let you tie me up with my grappling lines." He smiled and kissed her hair and she finally smiled back feeling a little better.
"As much as that tempts me I like it better when you dominate. I seem to run hotter in that position." She finally said. "I guess it is from all those years of being in control." She said dryly. Optimus laughed.
"I won't deny that I am not complaining. All I ask is that you never tell anyone about out berth activities." He said.
"Do you think I am going to admit to liking being tied up or dominated? I would lose all the respect of my femmes." She returned smiling up at him. "We better go and tend to our sparklings before they learn how to climb out of their berths."
Allie and Optimus walked out and headed to the nursery both happy that they had worked things out.

"Star, are you upset with me that I wanted to stay another night?" Kiki asked.
"No I am just tired." He said. "Why did you want to stay?"
"Doc wants me to have daily checkups until she is sure that everything is okay." She said. Starscream immediately became alert despite being tired.
"Kiki is something wrong? Are you sick or have a virus?" He started checking her over and she laughed at his expression.
"No my love. We are expecting." She said as his expression went from concerned to incredulous.
"Are you sure honey?" He asked.
"I'm sure. Doc showed me the little spark today. It is very early though and because she had to rebuild my carrying chamber she wants me to do daily checkups until we know for sure that the sparkling won't die." Kiki was excited but scared too that they could lose it and Starscream felt it through their bond.
"We will pray to Primus that nothing will happen to it. Tomorrow when you go to Doc you need to ask her about seeker coding. It is quite strong. Hell, I'll talk to Prowl and see if I can be there with you." Starscream said already making up his mind to be with her and support her.
"Oh speaking of Prowl, he is going to be a daddy as well." Kiki said and Starscream looked at her again.
"I didn't know he was in a relationship." Starscream said.
"Well he wasn't. He knocked up Tia and now she is living with him." Kiki said. "Allie confirmed it though she tried not to disclose the details. She said not to gossip about it because Tia is very sensitive about it."
"Regardless of the situation we will have another sparkling and that is cause for celebrating." Starscream stated. "We have lost over ninety percent of our race and any sparkling is a blessing whether it is wanted or not."
"You are right my darling. It will be loved." She said. "By all of us."

"Ratchet sent you some supplements for your energon." Prowl said giving her the medicine vial. She looked at it with distaste and Prowl put it on the table. He had moved a table with two chairs in and moved his desk to the corner next to the closet. The couch and flat screen still remain the focal point of the living area and Prowl had brought in a dresser in their berth room so that she would have drawer space. She didn't have much since she never kept much personal effects so the move had been easy and painless but still Tia felt she was giving up her freedom by having to rely for his protection and it seemed archaic and stupid that a femme that could take care of herself in the field feel the need to be protected among her own kind.
"Thank you my lord." She said as she ignored the vial.
"You know I have a designation and you can use it." Prowl said. He appreciated formality in any given situation but it would be nice if she used his name more than calling him a lord.
"I know but I don't feel comfortable with everything as it is." She said.
"You used it the first time we met." He countered.
"That was different and I wasn't carrying your sparkling."
"Our sparkling."
The room seemed awkward and both feel into a silence as they sat down on the couch. Prowl knew he had to broach the subject that he and Ratchet had talked about earlier but he had no idea how she would take the information. It was bad enough that she was carrying but now with her hormones and the subject matter it would not turn out well either way.
"Tia, I need to talk to you about something that will not be pleasant for you." He started and grimaced as she instantly tensed.
"You need to relax or it could pose a danger for our sparkling." Prowl told her gently.
"I know, my lo… Prowl but it is hard." She cried as she got up to pace.
"He also told me some other information that you are not going to like." Prowl said.
"What?" Tia stopped pacing and looked at him directly. "I've been a field agent I can take it."
"Ratchet said that we need to interface and merge so that the sparkling can get more coding from me. Prowl told her softly. "He said that when a carrier is not bonded it is harder to carry and puts them at high risk for losing the sparkling."
Tia looked at him with eyes big as saucers. Her hands began to tremble and she almost fell to the floor had Prowl not been fast to catch her.
"I can't." She whispered. "Even in the field I never interfaced just to get information. When I told you that it had been a long time I wasn't lying."
"I know and I believe you." She said.
"I… I… just can't interface without some kind of emotion and to merge? I only did that because you needed it."
"But now it is you that will need it. It will ease your pain of carrying. We don't have to bond and I understand that this is not a love match." Prowl soothingly tried to tell her. He picked her up and carried her back to the couch and sat down with her in his lap. It was the first time other than in the berth that she had allowed him this close and it felt nice.
"I will honor your decision regardless what it will be. I just wanted to let you know what Ratchet talked to me about." Prowl said. He held her to him as she sat in stunned silence. This time the silence was bearable because he was holding her and she wasn't complaining. He sat there with her as she sat in turmoil over her decision to make.
This will be the only chapter that I post today because we have a bonfire that I am taking the kids to for church. I hope that everyone had a good Memorial weekend.
