Prime, Chapter 16

They all got back to base as Fowler was there waiting for them and the others seemed confused as to who this guy is and why he can have abilities similar to Jack's. One thing that was for certain was that he appeared to be friendly towards Autobots and their friends. This young man with sand colored hair waved towards the group while heading over to Fowler ready to head on out and get back to whatever it was he was doing, though they still clearly had questions.

"Hold up a second, I've got a few questions to ask you." Jack spoke up telling the young man not to leave yet because he wanted to talk to him about something.

"Later Orion, I've got a Job to do right now. But your questions will be answered eventually." He spoke walking with Fowler towards the lift to leave and get back to his Job not answering a single question they had, though he smiled at Miko making her face turn red while he walked past and left.

"Uhh, Miko, you alright?" Bulkhead questioned noticing that her face was red and it was clear she was blushing, something that is normal in humans for different reasons.

"I think Our little Miko has a crush." Wheel Jack spoke up as she shrunk down slightly at his suggestion which indicated he was correct about Miko having a crush on this new guy that they had to go save.

"He didn't even give us his name." Bulkhead then responded saying that they didn't even know the guy's name yet and he'd already ditched them, which annoyed him slightly.

"The information Fowler gave us says that his name is Terrance." Arcee spoke before suddenly feeling dizzy and needing to sit down for a moment, maybe all that excitement taking place during the same day as just being released from the hospital.

"Arcee, are you alright?" Her dark haired human lover questioned worried about her especially since she had only just been let out of medical care today.

The Femme Cybertronian nodded trying to still her spinning head and sat for a moment catching her breath. "I'm fine Jack, really." She spoke telling him not to worry for her because she'd be okay before covering her mouth and running into the decontamination chamber before throwing up Energon, which definitely indicated that something was off.

"Arcee, I'd like to do another scan." Ratchet spoke up, though she quickly refused while continuing to get sick in the chamber stating that she'd be alright once she was over her sick spell. "I still think running a scan would be a good option."

"Let her be old friend, she's been through a lot today." Optimas spoke while June could swear that seemed familiar to her for some reason, but shook it off quickly noting the time.

"Alright, but if this continues you will get a scan whether you want one or not." The team Medic spoke saying that he would do a scan if he deemed it necessary.

Over the next couple of weeks they'd gotten to know Terrance, or Terry, quite well. Although he refused to answer certain questions he was actually a fairly open guy that as it turned out, was a freshman in college making him only a bit older than Jack. He helped around the base, and tagged along sometimes for missions, but the main thing he did was work the computers for the group glad to help out. Though he'd noticed whenever Arcee would sneak off and realized she'd been getting sick and having dizzy spells which he could easily read for what they are, though the others probably couldn't.

"Arcee we need to do another scan, I've spotted you getting sick again and if it's some kind of virus we need to isolate it." Ratchet spoke up worried about his friend and teammate saying he needed to do some scans as Terry raised an eyebrow and just continued working letting them do as they please.

"Ratchet, you're just being overly Protective, I'm fine, really." The cybertronian femme spoke up, but laying on the table to be scanned while the sandy blond haired young man said something under his breath they couldn't hear and continued working, though stopped when he heard the scanners beeping.

"There appears to be something inside of you, it may be some kind of parasite from Cybertron, but we'll need to open you up to find out." Hearing this Terry's eyes went wide and instantly turned from the computers before standing between Ratchet and Arcee. "What are you doing?"

"She's okay Ratchet, really, though I'm surprised you didn't notice sooner." Terry spoke saying that they didn't have to open Arcee up to see what was going on in her system and that he'd been able to tell what was up with her.

"Oh, and you think you know more than a trained medic, tell me, what do you think this is?" The Medic for team Prime spoke up questioning just what exactly he thought it was that was wrong with Arcee.

"Puking Sessions, dizzy spell, severe nausea, something growing inside her, isn't it obvious? She's got morning sickness because she's pregnant." Suddenly they heard a metal clan at the sound of a wrench hitting the ground and turned to se a very stunned looking Jackson Darby processing what they were talking about. Though, to be honest everyone in the room except for Terry seemed to be stunned at the idea that Arcee was with child.

"Now that you mention it, that does make sense but who..?" The team Doctor questioned and stopped mid way through as the sand colored blond simply gestured to Jack as if it was obvious that's who could have fathered the child now growing within Arcee.

Everyone that had been in the room at the time looked stunned as Arcee placed a hand over her stomach surprised by this news, though she could feel something was different, she didn't think it was this. She looked towards her human lover worried and saw a mix of emotions on his face, worry, fear, surprise, happiness, she'd never seen him with so many different expressions before. Though it was clear she need to talk to him about it, but Ratchet had insisted they see how far along she is. Cybertronian and Human reproductive cycles are very different though, so they wouldn't really be able to tell just how long it would last. After the scans had indicated she was a little over a month along she'd hurried off towards her room and once inside started crying, she was happy sure, but also fearful. This was her first child and she worried she wouldn't be a good mother due to missions, she also worried that the others would keep her from missions and she'd no longer be helpful to them. She also worried of what Jack and his mother would say, and Optimas too. The Femme Autobot curled up into the fetal position and continued crying upset over this and lost about what she should do. Suddenly, she felt a warm hand on her face from where she was laying on the floor and the smiling and gentle face of her lover was looking her in the optics showing that he was here for her. This was going to be a long, long talk.

Sometime later the others had gotten back to the base from whatever they were doing, previously it was just Terry, Ratchet, Arcee, and Jack there when they'd learned of Arcee's condition and no one else knew at all. Though it seemed Optimas was interested in speaking with her about a mission. "I have a scouting mission for Arcee." He spoke not knowing what had happened as June also drove up from getting off of her normal shift at work.

"I think the two of you need to sit, there's something important you need to know." Ratchet spoke telling them that he had something important for them to know, though they were confused they sat there waiting to hear what he had to say. "I'll go get Jack and Arcee."

"We could hear you guys pull up. Is it alright if we speak in Optimas' office please?" Jack spoke up surprising them, thought getting a nod as they all transferred to the office in order to get some privacy.

"What's this about Jack?" The dark haired teen's mother questioned worried and wondering just what exactly they were going to be talking about while Arcee and Jack seemed to be trying to find the right words.

"As you know, Jack and I have been 'intimate', for awhile now." The cybertronian woman began telling them that she and jack had been sexually active together with one another, which they already knew. "Well, thing is we, we uh,." It was clear that whatever she had to say was going to have to wait as she placed her hands over her mouth and ran over to the window before forcing it open as quickly as she could and started to get sick again making Jack's mother look at them suspiciously.

"Arcee is a little over a month along." Ratchet spoke up giving them the answer though Optimas didn't quite understand it and Jack's mother was still processing it think it's not possible.

"She's pregnant Optimas. We've been trying to use protection, but the first day we were intimate we didn't." Jack explained making it clear to both his mother, and the leader of team Prime that his lover was going to be having a baby.
