Prime, Chapter 21

Things were off today, Arcee noticed that the baby was moving around more than usual, however she just chalked it up to being energetic and nothing more and went to school with Jack the same she always did and sat out in the parking lot as her lover was in school learning. They'd later had lunch together but now it was class time again and she suddenly realized that the baby wasn't just moving around so much as she'd begun feeling them getting ready and immediately began trying to call Jack on her com worried and scared to have them without her lover present.

"And that is how yo.." The teacher was explaining to the class before hearing someone's cell phone going off and turning to see Jack in his chair holding it up. "Mr. Darby, why don't you share this little conversation with the class." The demanded as Jack hit the answer button.

"Hello, Arcee what's wrong?" Jack then answered as some remembered that Arcee was the name of his really hot girlfriend that they've only seen at his house or that one part she'd gone to with him.

"JACK, THE BABY!" She cried through the phone making everyone go wide eyed and instantly he was up out of his seat ready to go immediately leaving as fast as he could.

"MR DARBY?" The teacher demanded but there was no stopping him as he bolted from the room and began down the halls of the school.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright, transform and I'll call Ratchet." The dark haired seventeen year old stated to his lover saying to remain calm and take robot form even though she's in front of the school. Though, so were Bumblebee and Bulkhead too.

"Hurry Jack." She cried changing out in front of everyone as people began to freak along with seeing Bumblebee and Bulkhead who immediately tried to call for Optimas and the others seeing her like that.

Meanwhile Jack had Raced into Miko's Classroom and told her to come on the baby was ready to be born before then racing alongside her to Rafael who'd noticed the Autobots and bolted from class before the others could reach him. They continued out of the school as a ground bridge opened up and the others helped Arcee inside with Miko dialing up Terrance and Rafael calling Jack's mother so that she could be present for this too. They soon had her on a table in the operating room ready to help her deliver the baby as Jack paced and did what he could to help her relax and be more comfortable. He was freaking out like crazy though since this is his.., since this is THEIR first child. Optimas was also there acting as Arcee's father figure during the process as Jack's mother who had clearly been speeding came in and raced into the room as well. Agent Fowler then showed up with Terrance, it seemed that everyone was there for this moment. Arcee tried her best to remain calm but the pain was growing more and more difficult to handle as Ratchet acted at the doctor he is and continued to help make sure she could handle what was happening. Though the Anesthesia was beginning to help numb the pain, he was glad he'd brought some from Cybertron that's for certain.

"It's alright, you're doing great Arcee, just relax and try to remain calm as the medication helps numb the pain." Ratchet spoke trying to help her through this difficult process though she was squeezing the table so tight that she'd began crushing it in her hands.

"Come on Beautiful you can do this, deep breath and push." Jack encouraged to his lover saying he believed she could do this and she nodded continuing to try to do so allowing the baby to crown showing that it was about to be delivered. They hadn't wanted to know prior whether the baby is a boy or a girl and they were about to finally find out.

"That's it, they're crowning give us another push, you can handle it." June spoke up next encouraging her to continue as she pushed again almost fully delivering the child as Ratchet was making sure that everything was going alright with the delivery.

"Alright one more push Arcee, and make it a big one." The Autobot team doctor spoke up telling Arcee to give them one more big push because the baby was almost out and they needed her help.

The Autobot Femme let out a painful scream as she pushed as hard as she could and finally delivering the baby, though due to the differences between Cybertronians and Humans there was no umbilical chord to be cut and Ratchet began to clean up the baby now that they'd finished the delivery. "My.. baby.." She then spoke looking at Ratchet who wrapped them in a soft blanket before bringing them over to her and Jack.

"Ratchet, is the baby a boy or a girl?" Jack asked since the doctor hadn't told them before he had started cleaning them up while Arcee smiled at her little one that she had alongside her lover.

"You've got a healthy baby girl." He smiled before going to tell the others, but not let them go in just yet. Arcee was very weak right now from delivery and he didn't want to put too much strain on her.

"My.. my baby girl." Arcee spoke weakly as she began crying happily holding her baby for the very first time with Jack smiling at the two of them he was also crying happy to hear that they had a daughter as Optimas and June sat quietly letting the two of them have their moment together. Though the team leader showed that he was proud of the two of them as you could see it on his face, and on June's as well.

Jack smiled and snapped a picture of Arcee and their baby girl on his phone setting it to his background. He couldn't help but be proud having them in his life though the baby was sleeping peacefully in her mothers arms and Arcee then began drifting off into stasis herself due to how weak she was right now and needing to rest. "Have a nice rest you two." He spoke softly so as not to wake them while Optimas and June left the room.

The others were outside waiting patiently as Ratchet had told them that Arcee had a difficult birth, but that everyone was alright. They kept asking if the baby was a boy or a girl wanting to know out of curiosity. The only one not interested in it was Terrance who simply leaned up against the wall completely uninterested in trying to pry the information from Ratchet once he'd heard that everyone was alright. He'd snuck a peak earlier to find out if the baby was male or female using his Cybertronian abilities, much like Jack he could see through things and used this to his advantage. He had a bet going with Miko about whether the baby was a boy or girl and everyone turned to June to see if she'd give them that information.

"Seriously June, is the baby a boy or a girl?" Miko questioned trying to get Jack's mother to answer her question and tell them the baby's sex already, she looked like it was driving her crazy.

"She's a girl Miko." Terrance explained again sounding annoyed that she didn't believe him and was bothering the others at Ratchet, Optimas, and June, all looked surprised at how casually he could say that as if he knew it matter of fact.

"How do you know that?" Ratchet then questioned which pretty much indicated that he was right about this particular instance, and that the baby is, in fact, a girl.

"Oh, I have my ways." Terrance teased in response as his golden Cybertronian eyes flashed in front of them basically saying that he'd been able to see the baby through Arcee and used that to figure out whether the baby was a boy or a girl surprising them.

"Well, he's right. Arcee gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl." June then spoke saying that the baby is a girl and that Terry was correct when he said the baby was female. She sounded very proud to say that she was a grandmother to a baby girl. Now she get's to spoil her grandbaby and is looking forward to that.

"When can we go in?" Rafael questioned asking when they would be allowed to see the new baby. He was just as excited as the others to hear that Jack and Arcee have a daughter together.

"Patients Rafael, they are resting right now, but once they are awake and strong enough you'll get to go inside." Optimas then stated saying that had to let Arcee, Jack, and their baby girl rest up first because they aren't strong enough to start having visitors.

"And, not all at once." The team Medic then added saying that they couldn't all go in there together at one time because it'd be too stressful on them and they didn't need all of that.
