Starscream was at a loss for words as he listened to Terra, along with the help of Ratchet and June, explain what her being pregnant really meant. It was impossible, but she was carrying his offspring. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed at the fact that they were able to create a life together, but there was still some concern for Terra. She looked worried yet excited, which was to be expected for a carrier.

"Starscream? You've been quiet, love. Are you okay?" Terra spoke up, taking a hold of one of his digits. He looked her over and saw that beautiful glow coming from within her. His smile grew as he imagined their offspring taking the Decepticon throne after him once Megatron was gone for good. It was going to be wonderful. This child of theirs would unite Earth with Cybertron and also truly unite the Autobots and Decepticons. Absolutely wonderful. It was better than any plan he had thought of in the past.

"I'm more than okay, Terra. This is amazing! You're a carrier!" He exclaimed before nuzzling the side of her face, making her giggle and hug the side of his face. He could feel the gaze of the others on them, but he didn't care. This was their moment. He was going to be a sire and she was his carrier.

Starscream noticed Optimus stepping forward with a strange look on his face. He looked like he wanted to be happy, but there was a worried look in his optics.

"Do you have something to say, Prime?" Starscream asked, holding Terra close to his chest.

"While this is very exciting news, I can't help but feel that this could put Terra and her family in grave danger once again if Megatron were to find out about this," Optimus said. Starscream looked from him to Terra and saw the fear in her eyes at the mention of Megatron. He wouldn't let Megatron find out about this and if he dared try something, he would fight with every bit of his strength to protect Terra and his young.

"That won't happen. I won't let that happen. We just need to stay low for a while," Starscream replied.

"Lay low for nine whole months? That's gonna be real hard for you two," Miko spoke up.

"Nine months?" Starscream questioned, his optics going wide. He looked at Terra and she nodded in response. He then looked over at June who also nodded.

"It could be nine months, but it could be shorter or even longer than that. We still don't know much of anything yet," Ratchet spoke up. He looked down at that data pad once again with a nervous look in his optics before he cleared his throat.

"There is also something else that I need to tell you two," he said. Terra's grip on his digit tightened as she tensed up. The others appeared tense as well, especially Bumblebee who leaned over to Raf and began buzzing softly. Raf gasped and Bumblebee covered his mouth with a digit.

"What is it?" Terra asked.

"You're carrying two lifeforms, Terra. I missed it during the first scan, but after looking at it again, I saw a second one," Ratchet announced. Two! That was even more exciting since twins were so rare. The other gasped in response.

"That's wonderful!" Starscream laughed. Terra was silent and still tense. Starscream stopped laughing and brought Terra to eye level. He could see tears in her eyes as she looked him in the optics with a small smile on her lips.

"What's the matter, Terra?" He asked, stroking the side of her face with a single claw.

"I….This is just…so unexpected…and…and…," she trailed off before her smile grew even wider.

"And?" He questioned, raising a brow.

"I'm gonna be huge," Terra replied before bursting into infectious laughter. Starscream couldn't help but watch her as she laughed and felt all the more in love with her. This was totally unexpected, but it was a welcome surprise.

"There's still some things we need to discuss in private with you two," Ratchet said while motioning for them to join him. He carefully picked up June and placed her on his shoulder as he turned to go down the hallway where each bots quarters were located. Starscream followed close behind them. He saw Optimus's worried frown as he passed by him and thought nothing else of it. They would just stay here and figure things out together until their little ones were born. No need to go out and risk being spotted by a Decepticon.

They got to Ratchet's quarters where he had sat down in a chair with a weary sigh. June was writing down notes.

"Is there something wrong, Ratchet?" Terra asked.

"You're going to need energon to keep the twins alive, but pure energon is deadly to humans if ingested," he said. Starscream could already catch on to what the doctor was suggesting and smirked as he ran a claw through Terra's soft hair.

"And how will my little sparkmate get her much-needed energon, dear doctor?" Starscream questioned, looking Ratchet in the optic with a knowing look. Ratchet glared back at him and June covered her mouth to stifle a soft gasp. Terra was silent as she looked between the two of them in confusion before realization set in.

"Well, it looks like you caught on, but the…watered down energon is the cause of Terra becoming pregnant. She's going to need more of it in the coming months which I'm sure you're more than ready to…supply her with," Ratchet explained, grinding his denta together with a look of regret on his face. Starscream wanted to laugh and make him all the more uncomfortable with some witty comments, but his focus was on Terra at the moment as she smiled up at him sweetly. Even though they had been separated for only a short amount of time, it still felt like an eternity being apart from her.

"I will gladly do what's best for my little sparkmate," he crowed.

"How soon can we get started?" Terra asked. This made Ratchet shake his head with a sigh. Messing with him was going to be fun.

"Well, you two…can get started at any time. Just don't…strain yourself, Terra. I know it's early, but we don't need you getting hurt," June spoke up.

"Do you have any more questions before you two head back to your quarters?" Ratchet asked. Starscream thought for a moment before he remembered something.

"Will Terra really be going through this for nine months?" He asked.

"That's the normal gestation period for humans, but like I said before, it could be longer or even shorter depending on the growth of the twins and how they're doing," Ratchet explained.

"How long is the gestation period for Cybertronians?" Terra asked.

"It usually depends on the build of the individual. Bigger builds gestate more quickly in the span of a few months while those who are smaller take longer than nine months, but it's been too long to rely on that kind of information. We are just going to have to wait and see how things turn out with you," Ratchet said.

"That sounds good. Now, I think it's best for us to…turn down for the night and unwind a bit," Starscream said while standing up and cradling Terra in his claws. He leaned in and nuzzled the side of her face as he exited the room with her. He heard Ratchet mumbling something to himself, but he thought nothing else of it.

Once they were in the main hallway, Starscream paused and let out a happy sigh as he looked down at Terra again. She was still glowing beautifully and it made him feel all the more proud that he was able to create life with her.

"You took the news well, love. I was worried you wouldn't like what I had to tell you," Terra said. Starscream smiled and pecked the side of her face, making her blush and giggle adorably.

"It was a surprise, but a welcome one once it was properly explained to me. It's supposed to be impossible, but we made it work. Our little ones will be amazing. I'm sure of it," he said before walking in the direction of his quarters. He was looking forward to supplying her with her much-needed energon as soon as possible.

"There's so much to do before they arrive. We gotta think of names, buy clothes, buy all sorts of supplies, and…and…," Terra trailed off, that worried look of hers returning.

"It'll be alright, Terra. We have plenty of time to prepare," Starscream said, holding her closer to where his spark was located. He could feel her body relax as she lightly touched the plating above his spark with shaky fingers. He closed his optics, purring softly in response to her touch. It was a shame they had lost access to their secret little hideaway in the mountains where they could go off and have as much private time together as possible. He was going to miss it. It was certain that Megatron would be monitoring that area constantly. Hopefully Terra and her sisters could go back soon to collect their belongings.

At that moment, Starscream heard footsteps and looked over to see Bella carrying Alcina down the hallway in her arms. Upon spotting Starscream, Alcina began to whimper and hid her face in Bella's chest, making her sister sigh.

"You're okay, baby. You're safe," she whispered while running a hand through her dark hair.

"He's scary," Alcina replied, not daring to move her head. Starscream frowned. It pained him to see the child so scared after what she had just gone through. He had thought that she would be more scared of Arachnid and that she would be happy with him for saving her, but it looked like he did more harm than good.

"She'll come around. A lot has happened and the poor thing needs some rest," he said. Bella didn't say anything, but she nodded in agreement before going to her quarters. Terra watched them go before looking up at him with a sad look in her eyes.

"The poor thing heard and saw things that she shouldn't have. I hope she comes to understand the things I did to protect her and you," he said with a soft sigh.

"She will. You…did what you felt was right, love. It's done now and I know the others won't be as forgiving, but I forgive you," she said, grabbing a hold of his smallest digit and giving it a gentle squeeze. It was certainly going to be a while before the other Autobots put their full trust in him. Optimus was a different story though and he was glad.

Starscream didn't say anything as he proceeded to his quarters. Everything was the same as before. Terra had gone quiet again, resting her head against the edge of his claws. She looked exhausted after such a strange day.

"You should get some rest, Terra," he said while going over to his berth and letting her walk onto it. There were some small blankets on the berth which were perfect for her. Terra sat on the berth and smiled a sleepy smile up at him.

"I had thought you wanted to unwind with me and…give me some of your energon?" She asked, her cheeks going red again. Starscream smirked as he changed form and then sat down, pulling her into his lap. Terra shifted in his grip so that she faced him, that crooked smile returning.

"Well, it's been a long day for all of us and you humans need more rest after going through something so…unexpected," Starscream replied, his claws lightly trailing up and down her back. He could feel her relax under his touch as she cuddled closer to him, resting her head on his chest.

"Mmm, maybe you're right," Terra said, not moving from her spot. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Starscream closed his optics with a sigh while kissing her back. He was so glad to be back with her. Things had been uncertain for a short time, but now they were together and safe.

He deepened the kiss, using his glossa to slowly explore her mouth. She tasted delightful. Terra began to make her cute little moans, making him all the more hungry for her. He then slowly pulled away from her, chuckling darkly when he saw how red-faced she was. The plating hiding his spike felt a bit tight.

"Do you still want to turn down for the night, little bird?" He asked in a low voice while reaching out to caress the side of her face with two claws. Terra shivered delightfully under his touch.

"No, love," she replied, kissing him again with more intensity. He held her tight as he kissed her, growing all the more aroused and feeling his denta grow sharp. He reached down with his free servo and pressed the button to free his spike. Terra grunted in surprise when he pressed it against her backside, but her blasted jeans were in the way.

"Take those off, my love," he commanded after pulling away from the kiss.

Terra giggled and crawled out of his lap to stand up. She slowly unbuttoned her jeans and then ever so slowly took them off to reveal she was wearing simple black underwear. It looked absolutely ravishing on her, especially with the blue glow emanating from within. He couldn't take his optics away from her as she then took her tank top off to reveal a matching bra. Sure, it wasn't the fancy stuff she used to wear, but he still loved it.

"You like this, love?" She asked.

"I do. You look divine, Terra," Starscream purred as he got to his knees and pulled Terra closer by the waist. He rested his head against her soft stomach and hummed in content as he imagined their future together. Never in a million years did he ever think he'd have a human carry his young.

"They're going to be wonderful. My…Ah…I mean our little stars," he whispered, planting multiple kisses along her stomach. Terra let out a soft sigh and caressed the top of his head.

"Our little stars… I can't wait to meet them," Terra whispered back to him. He looked up at her and saw tears welling up in her eyes as she smiled down at him. She was such a beautiful sight to behold. He wasn't going to let anyone or anything harm her or her family ever again.

Starscream's claws wandered down to the edges of her underwear. A delightful smell was coming from her lower regions that made him all the more hungry to love her. He kissed her underwear, feeling every part of her valve grow wet under the thin material. Terra's legs began to tremble as she tried to stay upright. He smirked up at her and saw her covering her mouth, her face reddening even more.

"You look adorable, little bird. Shall I kiss you like this some more?" He asked before running his glossa over her underwear.

"Yes…please. Just…let me lie down first. I…I don't wanna…fall on you," Terra stammered. He nodded and loosened his grip on her. Terra stepped back, breathing heavily as she grabbed a nearby blanket and set it on the berth. She paused for a moment, glancing down at her bra before smirking and removing it, tossing it to the side. She then sat down on the blanket, legs spread open as she beckoned him to join her. Starscream was at a loss for words, his optics wide and his wings going erect as he gazed at her. Steam curled from his mouth as a rumbling purr emanated from his body. He looked down and saw how his spark glowed all the more brighter.

"Primus, how do you manage to always make me fall even more in love with you?" He asked, crawling over to her and pinning her beneath him. She was so small and oh so delicate. Even more now that she was carrying.

"I…don't know. I was going to ask you the same thing," Terra replied. Starscream chuckled before planting more gentle kisses along her neck before slowly making his way down her soft body. He paused at her breasts, taking his time to gently massage and kiss them. They felt softer than usual.

"Gentle, love. They're a bit more sensitive now," Terra murmured, gripping the blanket below her.

"As you wish, my little bird," Starscream crowed, removing his claws from her breasts. His spike twitched in excitement, making him more eager to please her.

"You…You know…in a few months or…or so…my breasts might get bigger along with other…parts of me," Terra said. That got his interest. He could only imagine the wonderful transformation she would go through. All he knew was that it would make her all the more wonderful.

"More for me to love," he purred as he continued kissing his way down. He got to her underwear which were a lot more wet now. He kissed the spot where her valve laid in wait for him, smiling even more in delight when Terra squirmed and moaned beneath him.

"Fuck," she murmured.

"Do you want more, Terra?" He asked, lightly tugging at the edges of her underwear.

"Yes…Yes, please," Terra stammered. She was so cute all flustered and ready like this. It was a wonderful change from the rest of the day. They both needed to forget about the horrific things and relax together.

Starscream slowly took her underwear off and took a moment to admire the sight before him as Terra spread her legs more for him. The blue glow coming from her was all the more intense now.

"I love you, Terra," he whispered, automatically turning the lights down low in the room so the only lights came from him and Terra. It made everything all the more romantic as got into a comfortable position over her and lightly pressed the tip of his spike against her warm valve. Even though they had interfaced many times before, it always felt so wonderful and new to him.

"I love you too, Starscream," Terra whispered back with a soft sigh as she looked up at him with pure adoration. He gazed back at her lovingly, feeling like the luckiest bot in the whole universe.
