Chapter 6 – Optimus and Starblossom
Starblossom felt something on her helm; she knew that touch even in recharge. Her optics onlined and met with the most beautiful sight her mate.
"Optimus, your back! Oh, thank Primus, I was so worried about you. Did you find your creator?" she asked.
He smiled then.
"Yes, she is wonderful. She knows about us; and is very anxious to meet you." Optimus said.
"Really? She isn't you know mad because I was human before?" Star asked shyly.
"Not at all, I told her how you treated me as an equal and not as a machine; and she was impressed."
He replied as his fingers slid over her face plates; while his lip plates found hers.
"I've missed you so badly..." she started to say until Optimus had kissed her.
As their lip plates parted Starblossom touched his helm; and grinned at Optimus then.
"I have a surprise," she said.
"Really, what is it?" he asked.
She almost looked shy then; Optimus found it endearing then.
"I'm sparked; which means you're going to be a daddy." She said as Optimus was speechless.
He was going to be a sire? He never thought he'd ever have a family; this was such wonderful news! Star saw the energon tears roll down his face; as she ran her fingers to wipe the tears away.
"Hound confirmed it." She whispered.
"I cannot wait for us to tell my creator; she wishes to meet you. She is on our home world." Optimus said confusing Star at first.
"Cybertron is not destroyed from the Chicago battle?" she asked.
"It can be reborn, my love; we can truly go home now and raise our little one on our proper home." Optimus said as Star smiled then.
"I'm glad, Earth has become too dangerous now especially for our sparkling now." Star said as Optimus' mood changed drastically.
"No one will harm what belongs to me; you and my sparkling will never be harmed." Optimus said as his hand slipped into Star's.
Silence as both Optimus and Star gazed into each other's optics.
"I will never leave you or our little one again; you have my word, Star." He stated as they heard sounds of engines and Optimus' head snapped toward the sounds.
Star looked; and she saw Stripes and she sighed then.
"It's only Stripes," Star sighed.
"He brought a new human to a place that is supposed to be sanctuary to my Autobots." Optimus remarked.
"Trust me, when I say he is changing; and I do not trust him." Star replied as Optimus looked at his Star; but then back over at Stripes as a low growl erupted from deep within his engines.
His protective programming was starting up; and he would not allow his mate and little one harm.
"We are leaving to go be with my creator," Optimus said.
"Alright," she said just as Stripes transformed and saw them.
"Optimus, hold on." Stripes said.
