Chapter two

"Ahhh Aqua why didn't you tell us you were pregnant!" Lunarfire squealed. "How far are you along?" Lunarfire place her small slender servos on the side of Aqua swollen stomach.

"I`m about five or so months along." Aqua answered. Lunarfire mouth dropped

"Only five months and you`ve kept it from us that long, good grief I couldn't even keep my pregnancies a secret." Lunarfire laughed. Aqua gave off a light shrug. She looked down at the stomach and smiled.

"Just think if it's a femme she`ll have a big brother to protect her and a bunch of cousins as well" Lunarfire pointed out.

"That's true but I kind of want another mech so Orion can have a play-mate." Aqua said. She rubbed her stomach feeling the sparling kick lightly. It was quiet in Lunarfire`s room and peaceful, which is exactly what she needed. Orion was too rambunctious and energy-filled in wore her out. A lot.

"Does everyone else know?" Lunarfire asked.

"No I was going to announce it to everyone at the banquet tonight. But it seems you already found out." Lunarfire blushed slightly.

"Well you were getting a bit chunky and I knew something was up, and you don't eat a lot. So I took a hunch and asked you and Quintus." Lunarfire stood up and opened her bedroom door. She motioned Aqua to follow her. She was lead to another room with a lock on it. Aqua scrunched up her faceplates.

"What`s this?" she asked. Lunarfire smirked and unlocked the door. Inside was rows and rows of formal clothing. Aqua stared at the amazing gowns, skirts, sashes, and shawls. Most of them matched Lunarfire color scheme.

"What the….how did you get this much formal wear?" Aqua asked.

"Some are personal made things while others are hand me downs from Shadeflash and Whiplash." Lunarfire answered casually. "But the reason I brought you here is to give you some maternity gowns and other things." Lunarfire went to the very back of the room and came back with an armful of clothing. The two walked out of the closet and headed back to Lunarfire bedroom she handed Aqua a bright blue skirt with gold designs to her.
"Here go try it on I think it will go perfectly with you." Lunarfire smiled.

Aqua smile back and headed the changing room. She hooked the gold chain belt and wrapped the silky blue skirt. She did a tiny twirl in the mirror. Her skirt floated up in the air sending gold sparkles in the room. There was a quiet knock.

"Hey Aqua when you finished changing do you mind showing me" Lunarfire voice said through the door.

"Of course I'll be out in a sec." aqua called back. She grabbed the same colored shawl and clicked to her shoulders. The gold metallic symbols held tightly to the shawl. She opened the door. Lunarfire turned around and gasped.

"Oh my goodness Aqua you look gorgeous, I love it." Lunarfire complemented. Aqua smiled and grabbed hold of shawl admiring it. "I love the gold flecks on the skirt and the shawl very nice touch."

"I agree I think this one belonged to Primsa back when she and Primus lived in the Palace." Lunarfire put a digit up to her chin pinching her face up. Aqua could tell she was up to something. But she just didn't know what.

"Babe! I'm back…Babe?" a rustic sounding voice came from the other side of the door. Lunarfire came out of her trance and walked over to the door. But the mech behind the door got to it first.

"Oh…Amalgamous your home early." Lunarfire said with a surprised tone.

"Yeah I and Nexus finished setting up for tonight banquet, everything looks amazing almost better than last years." He said proudly. Amalgamous sat down on the bed. Aqua came out of the other room.

"Hey Aqua what's up?" he asked.

"Oh nothing much just trying to get through the last two months." She said rubbing her belly.

"Man I hear ya can't wait to meet that niece or nephew." He said standing up. Lunarfire walked in. she quickly walked over to Aqua side.

"Quintus is back with Orion if you want to meet them." She whispered. Aqua nodded and left the two alone. Walking up a two flights of stairs isn't fun especially if you're pregnant. She finally reached her floor and headed straight for her bedroom. Orion was playing with two action figures and Quintus reading a data pad. She let out a big breathe and smiled. Quintus got up from the little table and gave his spark-mate a big long loving hug. Orion scrunched up his face.

"Ewe that gross mommy and daddy." He said. Quintus chuckled and kissed aqua cheek.

"So what did you guys do today." She asked sitting next to Orion. His bright blue optics light up.

"Dad made a huge boom in the lab today it almost killed us!" Orion shouted. Aqua looked over at Quintus who was trying his best to look innocent. He already knew trouble was coming.

"Really now did anybody get hurt." She growled through her clinched denta.

"Umm no just some minor injuries." Quintus squeaked.

"Define minor." Aqua said furiously.

"Well some bruises limbs falling off, you know the usual." Quintus shrugged.

Aqua optics nearly popped out of her sockets. She marched over to Quintus.

"Limbs falling off! Quintus Prime you set off an explosion and somebody limb fell off! Are you kidding me they could have died?" Aqua spat. She shook her head and crossed her arm over her breastplates.

"And to think your son was in the room with you." She scowled. She walked over to Orion picked him up and left the room. Orion tried his best to see over his mother's shoulders, but Aqua kept him to face level. They reached Orion's new room. It was a few rooms down from Orion's old nursery now the new coming sparkling. The two entered the room. Defiantly a lot bigger and more of a young Mech`s room than a sparkling. There were dozens of poster that had Orion's favorite gladiators. His plump bed was made neatly by the servant that worked on their floor.

"Orion dear were you hurt in anyway?" Aqua asked with a concerned look. Orion shocked his head. Aqua let out a sigh of relief, she was still in shock about what Quintus had done. She shook her head.

"Alright Orion you need to get ready for the banquet tonight."

"The banquet what are we going to do there Mamma?" Orion asked.

Aqua smiled "we are going to celebrate all the wonderful things the Primes have done since…well since the beginning of time."

"What kind of things have they done?" he asked interestingly crossing his legs while resting his helm in his servos. Aqua giggled. "Maybe one day you and Alpha Trion can spend all day at Iacon." Orion optics lit up. He jumped off his bed and followed his mother out of the room.

"Do you really think he`ll take me to Iacon?"
"I have no idea you'll just have to wait and see, you have to be really smart to work at Iacon." Aqua reminded. "But I think you have a great chance at getting in there." She placed a servo on Orion's helm and continued down the hall.

Aqua and Orion reached the bedroom and Quintus nearly fell onto Aqua as she opened the door.

"Baby I'm so sorry about what happened in the lab and extremely sorry for putting our son in danger it won't happen again." He apologized.

"You are forgiven and I trust that this won't happen again. Right?"

Quintus nodded quickly and hugged aqua and giving her a big wet kiss on the lips. Loud trumpet sounds rang out through the palace halls. Both Aqua and Quintus knew what it was. Aqua swooped up Orion and headed for the parlor. Trying not to run down the stairs, they made it just in time for them to head down to the banquet hall.

Vector and Shadeflash were the first ones at the big metal doors. Their two sons stood on each side of them looking straight ahead without moving a muscle. The big wide metal doors opened and a familiar silver gray hover car was waiting. Two of the guards politely open the doors for the four. Stepping carful into the car it zoomed off leaving a silver streak in their eyes.

Prime after Prime they all got in the cars with their sons. It was finally Quintus and Aqua's turn. The two same guards opened the doors while the three stepped in. Orion was thrilled to ride in the fast moving cars. Although the car was big and long Aqua still requested Orion to sit.

"But Momma look at all this cool stuff how could I not sit down." Orion's said putting down an oddly shaped object.

"When this hover car is ready to take off and you're not sitting you might go flying through the back window, and then we could have to sweep you off the road." Quintus said trying not laugh. Orion sat down almost faster than the hover car. A black tinted window slid back and guard looked at the three.

"We should be taking off in few seconds, is everyone sitting?" he asked. All three of them nodded. The window slid back and the hover car was off.

They arrived in no time. Surprisingly everyone else got out at the same time as they did.|

"Did everyone get here the same time as us?" Orion asked.

"No they wait until all us arrive so we can enter in a formal way." Quintus answered. Orion nodded. All of the primes stood outside their cars waiting to begin walking. Vector gave a tiny nod to the others. He Shadeflash and their two boys started walking. The crowds inside roared with excitement. Nexus went next and he had no trouble strutting in there. Whiplash only rolled her eyes at her spark-mate.

"Are you ready Orion?" Aqua asked as she bounced him on her hip. Orion popped his thumb out of his mouth. And stared blankly towards the entrance.

"What`s wrong sweet spark?" Asked tuning him towards her.

"I sounds scary in there I dint want to go in." he dug his head in the side of her shoulder. Aqua tried her best to get him from hiding his face away. Quintus took Orion from her arms. He held him out.

"Hey were going to have the best time in there and you're going to have the time of your life, you ready?" Orion looked away not responding.

"But the screaming bots what about them?"

"Those guys there nothing all you have to do is look cute and wave and before you know it we`ll be inside." Quintus responded with a shrug. Orion gave a slight nod.

It was their turn to enter. The crowd went crazy when they caught a glimpse of little Orion. Flowers, candy, and various other thing were thrown at the family. The banquet hall was enormous. Beautiful cobalt blue decorations.

They all met up in the back of the hall with hover pads waiting. A big tall yellow bot with a microphone stood in front of them.

"Okay so you all know the drill hover around let the crowd see you then you land in the middle?"

They all nodded yes. "Alright everybody step on the pads and we`ll send Vector and Shadeflash off and then go in order from there." The yellow mech pushed back the heavy red curtains. His voice boomed in the loud open space. Quintus helped Aqua onto the hover pad. Her swollen stomach made it hard to do anything really. She wobbled slightly.

It was finally there turn. The hover pad jolted forward and they were off. Orion gripped tightly to his father.

"I am pleased to welcome the mighty Quintus Prime along with Aqua Paxious and their son Orion Pax!" the yellow mech announced. The crowd below went stir crazy. Clapping cheering and just having a good old time. The three landed softly with the others already landing as well.

Different waiters came and took them to their tables. Orion and his parents were seated with Liege Maximo Nitroblade and their son Wolfplate.

For a while they sat in silence eating the food that was placed in front of them.

"So Aqua I here that sparkling of yours is almost here?" Nitroblade asked.

"Um yes in fact I don't have much longer before it gets here." Aqua smiled nervously. Nitroblade continued eating without noticing Aqua or her statement. Quintus tried his best to keep his cool.

"So Orion I heard you got some new action figures?" Wolfplate asked.

"I did want to see them when we get back, we could play beast and gladiators if you want." Orion asked.

"No I don't want to mine are better than yours and I don't want to be ruined." Wolfplate scoffed. Everybody stopped mid chew and stared at the young mech. Maximo cleared his throat.

"Wolfplate apologize to Orion right now, and you're going straight to bed when we get back"

"I'm sorry Orion." Wolfplate said with and unconcern tone.

"It's fine." Orion bottom lip started to quiver and a single tear fell down his cheek. Aqua looked over and her face soften. She didn't ask any questions she just took Orion from his seat and took him outside.

"Baby are you okay?" she asked wiping the tears away. He barely nodded. Aqua was boiling up inside. Wolfplate may be her nephew but what he said was wrong and unnecessary.

"You know what we're going to go home because I don't need to deal with kind of shit from your cousin. Come on we`re going to get your father." She grabbed his servo and dragged him back inside.

Quintus gave Aqua a strange look.

"Come on Quintus were going home."
"what why we've never left the banquet this early." Aqua grabbed his armpit and lifted him up

"Sorry were leaving so early but I don't want to hear rude stuff come out of your sons mouth." Aqua scolded. "And teach your son some god damn manners and learn when to speak and not speak."
