Commlink

"I'm going to kill you mighty gladiator!" Swiftjump proclaimed. The action figure pounded on the smaller gladiator toy. Orion face dropped. And stared as Swiftjump took the victory. Orion crossed his arms tossing the toy to the side.

"Hey Orion you still want to play I have more you can use." Swiftjump asked. Orion shrugged and walked to the table where Silverstreak and his mom were sitting.

"It's only been two months since the banquet and Nitroblade still won't talk to me or Quintus. Maximo won't even talk to us!" Aqua took a sip of her low grade energon. She slammed it down.
"It makes me mad that she won't apologize for what Wolfplate said or the way they acted." Aqua`s eyes burned with rage. You could almost see the fire with in her.

"I agree Nitroblade needs to get her head out of the clouds and start being a parent, she acts like she so important just because she married to Liege Maximo." Silverstreak said uncrossing her legs. She picked up Swiftjump and placed him on her lap. There was heated tension between the Primess since the banquet. Nitroblade started rumors about Aqua and Orion the night of the banquet. It stirred the big boiling pot nicely. Now that it was half and half between them. Half believing Nitroblade and the other half believing Aqua.

Aqua took a deep sigh and placed her head on the table. Orion looked up at his mother with a worried look in his optics. His mom was frustrated and that was not helping her physical state. The sparkling was close to being born. She rubbed her big swollen stomach.

"Gosh I don't know how much longer I'm going to last with this sparkling inside of me." Aqua said. Silverstreak looked up and smiled
"don't worry you`ll soon have a lovely little sparkling running up and down the halls." Silverstreak commented.

Orion head perked up "Hey mom I know what will cheer you up."

"What's that sweet spark?" Aqua asked with a tired voice. Orion grabbed his mother's servo and pulled her out of her seat. He dragged her down the long spacious hallways, leading outside. The training arena wide and empty except for two of the Primes. Quintus and Alchemist sparring. Fist raised and optics locked. The training intense and rough. Orion led his tired mother to a seat closest to the Mechs training.

"Orion dear how is supposed to make me feel better?" Aqua asked.

"Because you'll get to see dad win the Training session, which will in fact make you feel better." He said with a smile. Aqua rolled her eyes and leaned back in the chair. She watched with a bored look. Nothing was really happening except for punches and kicks. Orion on the other hand was deeply interested in his father and Uncle's training.

Quintus threw the final punch sending Alchemist flying to the other side of the arena. Orion's optics widen with great interest. His father stood in the frozen position. He turned his helm and looked at his son with a dazzling smile. Quintus walked over to them. Aqua leaned forward in her chair.

"Hey babe how are you felling today?" Quintus asked. He grabbed the metal chained fence around the seats. Hopping over to the other side. He kissed Aqua and then leaning down and kissed the top of her stomach.

"That move you did was awesome dad, the way you launched Alchemist across the arena. Wow." Orion gazed at his dad. Quintus prime was Orion Pax's hero, and he wanted to be just like him when he grew up. Strong dependable, loving, and caring and maybe one day a great dad to his sparkling and an incredible spark mate to whomever. He give his entire life to his future family.

"Hey what about a nice family dinner tonight?" Quintus asked putting his arm around Aqua's shoulders. Aqua shrugged her spark-mates arm off and started walking towards the stairs. Her servo resting on top of her swollen stomach. Her face pinched and showed signs of intense pain.

"Dad? What's wrong with mom?" Orion asked in concern. Quintus gave his son a sorrowful look.

"I don't know, but I think we're going to find out." Quintus picked up Orion and flung him on his broad shoulders. Quintus jogged up the stone stairs following Aqua from a distance. She walked towards their room and a white mech was waiting at the door to their floor. Quintus squinted his optics.

"Who's that?" Orion asked in a whisper.

"I don't know son but let's see." Quintus walked over to the white mech standing tall and proud. The white mech looked up and shrunk down. His face was covered in fear.

"Where's my wife and who are you?" Quintus deep voice seemed to scare the mech more.

"She's…in her room waiting for the real doctor to come." The medic answered. Quintus gave a confused look.

"Why would she be waiting for a doctor…..oh Aqua hold on baby I'm coming!" Quintus set Orion down and took a mad dash towards their room. Orio stood their confused. His father was in a panic over his mother and he didn't know why. He tried to follow his dad but he medic put his large servo out to stop him.

In the room Aqua lay in the bed with a thick white blanket covering her. Quintus ran to her side. She grabbed his servo and squeezed it tightly.

"Quintus…I-I think the sparkling is coming." Tears streamed down her face as the pain increased. Quintus' eyes shot out.

Quintus Quickly Commed Lunarfire. "Lunarfire I need you to take Orion to your floor and keep him there until I come for him." Quintus waited for Luanrfire's response. Lunarfire quickly responded with a weary voice.

"Quintus! What's wrong why do I need to take Orion?"
Quintus responded with a sharp tone "Just come and get him!" he cut the commlink and focused his attention to Aqua.

Orion stood unknowingly that his aunt was coming to get him.

"Orion, we need to go." Orion turned to see Lunarfire. Her black skirt with fiery flames flowing flawlessly as she walked. Her gently kind face greeted him as well. She reached down and pick Orion up resting him on her hip.

"What's wrong with Mommy?" he asked grabbing onto her

"Your mother may or may not be having her sparkling today." Lunarfire smiled gently. She knew Orion was already shaken and she didn't want to add on. She pressed the button for the advanced hover pad to pick them up. It arrived with extreme swiftness. She stepped onto it and pressed her floor number. It shot up and stopping at the floor which was requested. The reached Lunarfire room. Orion walked around in curiosity.

Aqua squeezed her spark-mate's servo screaming and howling in pain. Her breathing got heavier and heavier. Quintus continued to stay by her side.

"Hey doc how much longer until she ready to give birth?" Quintus asked in extreme concern. The doctor looked over at the couple. His face lined with concern.

"We don't really know, the sparkling is too early to come into this world." The doctor answered. Quintus stood up and stomped over to the doctor.

"Then why is m spark mate having contractions so painful she called a doctor." Quintus questioned. The doctor shrank at Quintus' towering height.

"Sir we can deliver the sparkling but it may have issues later in life it could be born irregularly small, there are just so many risk to delivering a sparkling this early." Quintus boiled up inside. He had read about thing s like this, but he also read that is they don't deliver a sparkling and the mother is in great pain the mother and the sparkling would die if they waited too long. Quintus got right in the doctors face.

"I want my sparkling and my spark mate to be alive, so that means you deliver it now, or you will be blamed for the death of my two loved ones." The doctor nodded and got everything ready. The staff was brought in along with all of the tools. The placed a blanket of her mid-section covering her spread legs.

Orion sat on Lunarfire's lap as she type on the data pad. He watched her carefully. Orion was easily fascinated by things. Her digits moved quickly. Lunarfire knew how to type fast in any situation and in this case she was informing her spark- mate of what seem to be happening. But she didn't know for sure.

Her data pad lit up with a message from Quintus. A smile formed and she gave a light squeal.

"Orion want to hear some good news." Lunarfire asked with an excited tone.

"Umm sure Aunt Luna what is it?" he asked getting off her lap. Lunarfire's face continue to light up.

"Well your mother just gave birth to the sparkling, and well your father wants to meet you down on their floor." Orion face lit up with pure excitement. He quickly ran down the stairs completely forgetting about the hover pad. He reached his floor tripping and stumbling along the way.

"Dad! Dad1 I'm here!" Orion shouted. He ran right into his father's servo. Cupping his entire face, Orion fell silent. He looked up at his dad. Quintus released his servo from his face.

"Here Orion come with me." Quintus gave a sweet smirk to his son. He opened the door to their room and Aqua lay their smiling with glee. In her arms she held a tiny sparkling wrapped in a white blanket. Her face seemed to motion Orion to the bed. He climb next to his mother. The sparkling sleeping soundly. The sparkling was a light blue with red designs and markings.

"Is it a mech or a femme?" Orion asked pulling the blanket back slightly. He revealed the face if the young one.

"Well Orion toy have a baby brother." Aqua answered. Orion's little mouth dropped. A brother, a little brother someone he can play with, be rough and rowdy with.

"Can-van I hold him momma?" Orion asked. Aqua nodded and handed the sparkling over to Orion. Orion held it with caution and care. The little mech stayed sound asleep in his older brother's arms. He lightly bounced the sleeping mech, but Aqua put and servo on her sons shoulder nodding slightly no. Orion stopped abruptly. Quintus came sat down on the berth with them. His big burly arms wrapped Orion shoulders.

"What shall we name him my dearest?" Quintus asked looking down at his new-born son. Aqua put a digit up to her chin and thought. For the longest time Aqua didn't answer.

"Hmm what about Ultra?" Aqua suggested. Quintus gave the name a thought.

"Well, it's good but shouldn't we add a second name to it like yours and Orion's." Quintus asked. Aqua nodded
"I guess you're right but what would the second part of his name be?" there was another long pause. Orion perked up

"What about Magnus for the second name, I heard it means great." Aqua and Quintus looked at each other. They both smiled and nodded.

"Ultra Magnus, hmm I like it." Quintus said. Orion smiled looking down at his brother.

"I like the name personally, it sounds so powerful and the name of a warrior and a strong leader." The three turn around and see Nexus standing in the door way. He barely fit in the door his big frame and huge muscles scrap the sides. Behind him stood his petite spark-mate, Whiplash. She tiptoed over his shoulder and waved at the family. Nexus moved to the side so hi spark-mate could get through. She walked over and plopped herself on the other side of the bed next to Aqua.

Nexus and Quintus stood up and talked on the other side of the room.

"Hey Orion how you doing baby doll." Whiplash asked rubbing his helm. Orion handed sleeping Magnus to Aqua and Whiplash grabbed him and threw him in the air and caught him. Orion burst out laughing when Whiplash tickled him all over.

There was a quiet knock at the door. Nexus walked over the door and opened it. All the Primes and Primess stood at the door with the widest smiles. All twenty of the poured in congratulating Quintus and Aqua. They all got a chance to hold the newest addition to the great Prime family.

"Welcome to the Familyyyyyyyy Maggggnnnnuuuuusssss!" Alchemist shouted.

Everyone laughed and Baby Magnus opened his bright blue optics and looked at all of his new family members

"Yes, welcome to the Family Ultra Magnus."
