Luna Burst made into her quarters only to have Optimus Prime ask, "I thought you had an appointment with Ratchet?"

She replied, "I did but on my way there Mikaela stopped me she was so frustrated with Ratchet that she blurted her feelings out rather loudly and descriptive. Well, he overheard and since it's only a checkup I told him it could wait a few hours."

By this time Optimus was over to her arms wrapped around her large belly saying, "I see no reason why not it's about time those two expressed how they feel about each other."

~ With Ratchet ~

He had heard Luna Burst tell him she could wait a few hours he wondered if he had been that obvious about how he felt about Mikaela. He approached her slowly asking, "What exactly do you feel for me Mikaela?"

Mikaela replied, "I find you attractive Ratchet. You are smart, caring, and gentle. The kind of Mech I can see spending the rest of my days with. Plus I know you'd make a great Father I have seen how you act with Morningstar."

Ratchet was stunned that she had seen all that in him he argued, "But I am old, and you could have any Mech your spark desires."

Mikaela moved towards him, this time, circling him before stopping right in front of him saying, "I could care less about your age, and my spark desires you."

To prove her point she kissed him he was in heaven, and quickly returned the kiss. He had wanted Mikaela for months now but hadn't said anything to her afraid of being turned down. He reluctantly pulled away from her only wanting her to understand saying, "I don't interface lightly Mikaela we would need to become bond mates too."

Mikaela replied, "I hate being apart from you as it is it makes my spark ache. If bonding will help with that I would gladly do it as many times as Maggie has."

Ratchet was stunned he felt the same way when he was apart from her. He advised her, "Well we wouldn't need to do it that many times unless you wished to once is more than enough. You do realize that once we bond we'd have to share quarters."

Mikaela smirked asking, "Are you asking me to move in Ratchet well if that's the case I'd love to. You're not going to talk me out of this I know you have feelings for me too because if you didn't we wouldn't still be talking." In an effort to prove her point Mikaela ran her fingers across his chest causing him to shutter and shake in response. He was at a loss of what to do his mind was saying one thing while his body was saying take the Femme back to your berth.

She looked at him saying, "Ratchet I am sure it is you that I want I have had feelings for you for a while, and seriously you need to quit putting yourself down; Or this Femme will be more than happy to knock some sense into you."

Ratchet was now thoroughly aroused by Mikaela not that her looks didn't arouse him enough alone. He pushed her roughly into the wall saying, "How about this Mech teach you he's not to be toyed with."

Mikaela wrapped her legs around his waist in a bold move grinding herself into him saying, "I'm not toying now are you going to prove to me you're the Mech that can handle this Femme." Ratchet growled at her before taking her back to his private quarters he was most certainly going to show her a thing or two.

~ With Optimus ~

He brought over some Energon asking, "What do you think we should name him?"

Luna Burst took her Energon saying, "How about we name him Orion since it's not really your name anymore. What do you think?"

Optimus Prime was torn between being touched, and not wanting his Femme calling them both Orion. He liked her saying it in moments of passion he most certainly would feel weird having his Son named it as well. He finally replied how about we call him Perseus it means hero as I am sure he will take after his Father."

Luna Burst replied, "I am positive he will be a lot like his Father in many ways." A comlink message came in, "Ratchet here could you wait until tomorrow for your check up?"

Luna Burst replied, "I am doing fine it can wait just be sure to tell Mikaela congratulations from me. Same to you to Ratchet I wish you both the best."

Ratchet replied, "Will do Ratchet out."

Optimus Prime chuckled saying, "It will be nice to have another bonded couple here. Although I was worried for a while that I'd have to lock them in a room for it to happen. Ratchet is either dating himself or burying his face plates in a medical book."

Luna Burst replied, "You forget Mikaela she's a go getter not really deterred by obstacles in her way. I mean other than getting the nerve up to tell him how she felt. Which if it hadn't of happened today would have eventually happened as she was close to her breaking point today. I would gather that is why they are bonding today once she knew his feelings she wasn't going to let it go until he knew what she wanted."

Optimus replied, "Yes she is quite good at stating her mind when she is sure about something. We should hit recharge early as you need extra sleep with the demands of our Son."

Luna Burst asked, "What if I'd rather interface with my spark mate?"

Optimus growled at her saying, "Not until after Ratchet checks you I am not going to be responsible for sending you into labor. Especially tonight if he's bonding, and interfacing with Mikaela. He will want to, and need to be with her for his sake let's try to keep this little guy right where he is at least until tomorrow. But we can cuddle all you'd like in fact I'll rub your back until you reach stasis."

Luna Burst Kissed him saying, "You're so good to me."
