chapter 3
" How are you feeling my love" Sideburn asks as he enteres the medbay.
Wedge opens her eyes and looks at him, "like...." she looks around, "like those flowers in that vase: cut from below, drained from power and having nowhere to go, plus the fact that I looked in the mirror lately and.... well... damn you" she scowls but she's smiling, "you're ruining my nice figure!"
Sideburn sits down in the side of the bed " you at least still didn't loose you sence of humor"
Wedge smiles widely, "yeah, well, I gotta have some fun around here!" she grins, "T-ai said that I'll have to stay in bed untill the cr-chamber is ready, that'll be some time!"
"good thing the others give me presents..." she looks at a red whip laying on the nightstand, tilting her head, "typically Tayra and Koshiko, tease me like that"
Sideburn laughs, but sudden his face turn serieus. " Uhm Wedge.......Has someone told Daisuke? he asks as he takes hold of Wedge's hand.
Wedge looks at Sideburn before turning away, "Shara is...." she whispers, obviously blaming herself, "she's their friend after all, and a human too"
Sideburn nods. " We'll get him back, whatever it'll cost" He says as he squeezes her hand gently. "we''ll get Ken back, I promise you"
Wedge nods, "alright, if you say so...." she smiles, looking Sideburn up and down, lingering on the *down* part before quickly returning her gaze, "uhm... I meant what I said..." she whispers, blushing
Sideburn grins. " and so do I" he says kisses Wedge slightly
" Naughtly little femmebot you are" He mumbles against Wedge's lips.
Wedge grins, "I know, don't you love me for that?" she naughtly allows her hand to wander off to below, silently counting the seconds before the male would react
" I definitely do" Sideburn replies.
" I really hope Daisuke won't be mad at Shara" Sideburn suddenly murmered " She really feels guilty"
Wedge blinks, "yeah, I sure hope so" she whispers, "she ain't the only one..." she softly adds
Sideburn gazes at Wedge for a moment. " Why the hell would you feel guilty?"
Wedge narrow her eyes, "will you leave the hell out of this?! I don't want to go there yet!! but... well... I found it time to turn female just at that moment..."
" You did your best Wedge and both Ken and Daisuke know that"
" I honestly don't know Wedge. The fact is that.......well........you weren't fully charged yet. I'm convinced you'll defeat them the next time, when your fully recovered"
Wedge nods, that answer could satisfy her enough, "thanks for having so much trust in me, you're scaring me with it!" she grins her, "but Skybyte did lure me perfectly in his trap"
" Next time I see him I will kick his ass" Sideburn mumbers.
Wedge smiles, "i'm sure you will" she winks, looking away in shame.
" But now you will concentrate on getting better ,ok?"
Wedge nods, "I.... I will" she says, still looking troubled at the what Skybyte had said, "and... I'm sorry"
" For what" Sideburn asks as he lays the blanket gently over Wedge.
"I.... didn't tell you something...." Wedge avoids to look at the blue bot, "maybe it was just a wild guess, but what Skybyte said today.... he was right" she closes her eyes in fear, awaiting the expected outburst.
" Don't you worry my dear, I still love you. We have to live today not in the past"
Wedge looks up and smiles, "thank you... you don't have a clue how much you help me with saying that"
Sideburn smiles back at her. " I'll always be there for you" He says as he kisses Wedge's forhead. " Love you" He whispers. " And now sleep"
Wedge grins, "am already gone" she says and closes her eyes
Sideburn grins as he dims the light of the room and leaves quitely.
~*~
"Do you think you can manage?' Sideburn asks Shara.
" Yeah, I guess so" Shara nods. " I just wonder how Dai will take it, besides how was Wedge?" She smirks.
"Pretty good I gues" Sideburn smirks as he thought back to their little being together.
"Yeah, she's warming up to you again. You will manage in the end" She smiles. "You'll make her happy, won't you?" She asks, showing her concern for the girl.
"Of course I will, but I know she is still worrying about Ken's kidnapping" Sideburn comments.
"Yup, your first trial Sideburn: Get her off the little guild trip" The femme grins, " And I know a pretty good way, if you catch my drift, but I need to go now and look for Dai"
Sideburn nods. " He's in the messroom"
"Oh thank you!" Shara smiles and turns " Oh and Wedge loves chocolate!" She grins.
~*~
Shara sighs as he walks into the messroom. " Uhm.hi Daisuke!"
"Hi shara, what's up?" Daisuke cheers as he turns to face the femme.
" Uhm yeah, there's something up alright" She replies.
"Huh where are you talking about?" "I'm talking about, well, we went to the mall right?"
"Yeah how was it!?" Where's Ken anyway?"
"Ken...is not here, we had a run in with the Predacons, our enemies" Shara looks sad. " We fought them"
Daisuke stands up slowly " He didn't got hurt did he?" Daisuke asks in shock and worry, " Tell me he's ok"
"No, he got captured by Megatron, the leader of the Predacons"
"He what!!! He...is he ok?" He sobs. " I mean, you are going to save him, don't ya?"
" Of course we will save him! It's just, I thought I'd let you know"
Daisuke nods " Shara their is something you should know"
"Oh? What is that then?"
"Ken told me stress was bad for him and the baby and since he is captured...."
"hell have allot of stress..." Shara sighs, her comlink activating, " Yes T- ai, speak up"
"Shara Wedge's gone! Have you seen her?"
"Uhm no I haven't, ain't she sleeping?"
" NO she has disappeared" T-ai says worried.
"really gone?" Oh Damn!" Shara gasps, " She's at the megastar! The Predacon base!"
Maybe she's getting Ken back" Daisuke says happily.
" Maybe she's a pregnant woman with a heavy dash in her chest and in no fighting condition!" Shara clutches her head, "Wedge ...think before you act"
~*~
Wedge quietly crawls through the megastar's ventilation shafts, trying to remain as silent as possible as she follows some sounds, getting closer quite rapidly and she stays still to look through a grate, seeing Ken and Megatron and her blood boils as she looks at the bluehaired human locked in a cage
"Tell me where's the autobots base is or else..........." Megatron shouts angrily.
Ken widens his eyes, "what are you going to do to me?!"
Megatron laughs evily " Well Sky-bite told me you where expecting something........" He smirks evily
"Of course you do!" He says as he grabs the cage and tosses it in the air and catches it again. " We sence there is life growing inside of you"
Ken closes his eyes in fear, "so.. Maybe there is... what do you want with it?!"
Megatron grins. " Maybe turn him or her into a slave. A slave used only to our purposes.
Ken feels his breath increasing, "no.. no.. you can't!"
"But of course I can! Who will stop me" Again he laughs as he sees the priceless look onto Ken's face.
Wedge narrows her eyes, 'I gotta help him! it's all my fault!' she quickly scurries on, listening before dropping out of the vents onto the ground
Megatron immediately turns to see the girl landing on the floor. " What the hell.........What are you doing here? you assholL"
Wedge looks up in a hurt manner, "hey, ain't I a girl now?! You hurt my feelings!"
"I care. What do you want! Do you want another beat up? Your use to it anyway, Slave!"
"what... did... you... say?!" Wedge quickly leaps to her feet, "I'm not a slave!! Well.. Uhm... I.. What are you trying to pull!? You won't confuse me!" she growls
Megatron grins. " Was I confusing you? Well what a pitty I failed, little slave. And for you...." He says as he looks at Ken. " Guards! Bring the prisinor to his cell, gently please" He said almost laughing.
'when does Megatron have guards? Or.. Decepticons? Predacons?' Wedge wonders in silence, leaping at Megatron, taking her sword and nearly missing the Predacon's head.
" you'll pay for that"Megatron shouts. Then a sudden smirk appeared on his face as he gazes at Ken. " You don't want him to get hurt do you"?"
Wedge widens her eyes, "owh.. Damnit, forgotten" she smiles at the predacon leader, "sorry Ken"
"I thought so. Deathstrike!!!"
" Yes boss" Deathstrike says as he enters the main room. His eye immediately fell on Wedge, who was holding her swords tightly, ready to strike again. 'This isn't fair' he thought
Wedge widens her eyes, "owh fuck" she glances at the door, "please not him..." she whispers.
Deathstrike eyeballs enlarged at the sight of Wedge, wanting to battle Megatron in her condition. " Wedge don't!" he shouts.
Wedge slowly lowers the sword into defensive level, "uhm... hiya D, uhm... what's up?" she slowly backs away, not sure what the elder, and stronger, Binjari warrior would do to her.
"What is going on here" Megatron shouts angrily. " Do you know this autobot?!!!" He yells
" Uhm sorta. you know, not really know or something. Just met. Like talking. Something like that yeah" Deathstrike manged to get out.
Wedge freezes, not daring to move a muscle, silently saying her goodbye- prayers, "this is it.. Nice knowing you all, Sideburn.. I really, really love you, I hope you won't miss me that much" she whispers
Deathstrike looked confused at the female bot. " Uhm Wedge.......What are ya doing? I hope your not saying your goodbye prayers yet, because because this battle hasn't even been battled yet.
"It... Ain't?! gods, I'm in for it now... I'm going to get sooo killed in here" Wedge squeaks, eyeing Deathstrike in a fearful manner, "at least I won't feel so much of it... I hope"
Suddenly Deathsrike starts to laugh out loud. " Wha.......what are you talking a....about. D.......do you really th....think I'm gonna kill.......you?"
Wedge frowns, "you're not? But.. But.. You're Decepticon and, and..
Also Megatron had follwed this conversation, and was looking ver confused at Deathstrike aswell. "Yes I't like to know the same thing"
Deathstrike grins. " Well It is very simple really. I'm not going to kill Wedge. I'm not going to follow up that order. From on one. Not even from you Megatron!" Deathstrike shouts as he draws his sword as well, pointing it at Megatron.
Wedge smirks, glaring at Deathstrike, "Megatron.... it seems that Binjari Warriors stick with each other, are you ready to go down?" she laughs, "give us Ken now..... please"
"Never!!" Megatron shouts as he graps the cage with contained Ken, and quickly opened the door, taking Ken out. " Your sure you want to battle, little binjari's" MEgatron asks as he pretends to sqeeze Ken into little pieces.
Wedge widens her eyes, 'no! what must we do now?!' she thinks, looking around nervously in search of a solution
Deathstrike winked at Wedge to distract Megatron so he could Attach him in the back so he had to release Ken
Wedge nods, starting to strafe towards Megatron's left side, "Megatron, I'm sure you're all powerfull and that...." she starts, "but maybe you don't understand something: Binjari's mainly act on instincts, and when pregnant, those instincts can become very agitated" she looks like she's going to cry, "and well, you wouldn't want me to cry.... now would you? big, strong, powerfull Predacon Leader?" she sobs, "I mean, am I not pretty charming to you?" she tilts her head, looking as cute as possible, and for her, that's a lot! 'that's it girl, charm the guy, use your tongue!' she compliments herself
Megatron grins. " What are you saying" He asks he he loosened the grip on ken a little.
Deathstrike who noticed Megatron's distraction quickly closed in to the Predacon leader. He needed to be sure he wouldn't hurt Ken in the proces to free him. As he stood behind Megatron he winked at Wedge to expect Ken any time soon. And about as he recieved a wink from Wedge, Deathstrike pushed Megatron forwards with all his might, seeing Ken being dropped. "' Wedge!!" He yells as he sees Ken nearing the ground quickly.
"got him!" Wedge yells, teleporting herself to catch the human, "yeah!" she smiles widely.
Also Deathstrike smiled at the succes of his plan. " Wedge I think it is better to get out odf here and bring the human in safety"
"yes sir!!" Wedge quickly turns heels and dashes through the halls, going straight for the exit, hearing Deathstrike behind her form.
"You won't get away" Megatron yells as he goes in persecute.
" Wedge where are we going now? We can't go directly to the base, can't we"
"don't worry!" Wedge responds as they leave the Predacon base, "we still have the spacebridge!" she calls just as a blue hole appears in front of them
Cheetor nods as he follows Wedge into the spacebridge. " We have to bring Ken into safety and see if he's wonded" He says as he looks at Ken's unconcious body.
Wedge nods, seeing that the human boy limp in Cheetor's arms, "yes, we need to.." She sinks on the ground clutching her head just as Sideburn and Shara appear at the other end of the tunnel.
~*~
" Wedge!!! Cheetor?" Shara cries out happily as she sees Wedge. "' And you got Ken back!"
Shara looks at Cheetor and smiles. " I guess you helped her out, didn't ya?"
Cheetor nods' But I guess I can't go back to the predacon base"
" What's that supose to mean" Shara asks as she looks curious at Wedge.
Daisuke quickly exits Sideburn and gasps, "oh no, Ken!" he sobs, looking at Wedge, "Wedge! Are you alright?!"
" Is Ken ok?" Shara gasps as she sees Ken's limp body in Cheetor's arms*
"We'll tell you the *whole* story later Shara, I think we need to bring Ken and Wedge to sickbay as fast as possible" Cheetor suggests.
Shara nods in agreement. "We leave Immediately"
She says as she transforms and opens het door to let Daisuke in" Common Daisuke get in"
Sideburn looks at Daisuke's worried face and says, " He'll be ok Daisuke. I'm sure of it, and so will the baby"
" I hope you're right Sideburn" Daisuke says as he holds Ken close and kisses his forhead
Wedge shudders and growls softly, "I need some medicine!" she whispers and tries to get up, failing miserably.
"Wedge are you ok" Sideburn yells as he runs over to his love and helps her up. " you shouldn't have gone out there, it was way to dangerous for you"
Wedge looks into Sideburn's red optics, "why? this is my doing after all, now I'd set it back right" she whispers, cringing from the pain in her head
" NO, you only brought yourself into danger. What if you haden't succeded in rescuing Ken, what then? Would you have helpt him then?"
Wedge ponders this for a moment, "no.. I guess I wouldn't.." she whispers sadly, "why can't I do something right for a change.. I always screw up" she steps away from Sideburn and walks away, using the wall for support while she holds one hand by her head, "I'm sorry.. I will leave you alone, you don't need me around anyways"
Sideburn sighs. " Wedge please don't feel so sorry for yourself. I was just worried about you, and the baby. What do you think I would have done if something happened to you." He says as he graps Wedge's hand and pulls her into an embrace. "I love you dammit" Wedge looks at the other bot and tears fall down her cheeks, "see! Now I do it again!!" she sobs, "I'm screwing up, again!"
"No wedge! You did great now. You saved Ken and made Daisuke happy"
"And you made me happy by coming back in one piece"
"What are you trying to do to yourself Wedge? Your trying to blame yourself for what happened. Stop it now!!! I hate when you go on the guild trip. Your not the only one who is guilty about Ken's abduction. I was there too, and I should have stopped Megatron from taking Ken. You at least tried something, compared to us you where the only one who did, Even now you did it on your own. You're the hero here, don't forget that. And Ken will be grateful later on. Megatron could have done more harm to him than he done now, if you hadn't interfered with him"
Wedge blinks, opening her mouth to say something, closing it again as nothing comes out and she blinks some more
Sideburn smiled. " Everything will be ok now, believe me. Ken will be ok and so will his child. and I'm sure that our baby will be perfectly healthy too.
"And when he or she will grow up, I hope it will be just as brave as it's mother"
"cause I'm proud of you Wedge, very proud"
Wedge blushes, "uhm. thanks for saying that, thanks, very, very, very, much" she smiles softly, "and I.. I." she angrily swallows and closes her eyes, "I.. I..." she shakes her head in miserable defeat and confusion, stopping in her sentence, "I.. Awh, forget it"
"What is it Wedge? Please tell me if something's wrong or is bothering you"
"no, er, yeah, something's wrong" Wedge stammers, "damn, why can't I say it?!" she growls, "that sentence! That *special* sentence, I want to, but I can't get it over my lips!" she looks at him, "you know what I want to say, don't you?"
Sideburn smiles. " Of course I do" He says as he softly kisses her.
"good, can we make a deal here?" Wedge grins, "you know that I 'that sentence' forever, so I won't need to break my vocal cords over it?"
Sideburn shakes is head and smiles. " Side can we take Wedge and Ken to medbay now?" Shara asks as Ken is carefully loaded is carefully loaded up into the Ferrari F50.
Wedge blushes, "yeah, okay" she nods, Daisuke smiles, "well, let's go already!"
~*~
Ken turns as he feels a hand touch his cheek. "mmm" Ken opens his eyes slowly and sits up in a rush. " Where am I? what happened?" he says confused.
"calm down, love, you're safe" a voice gently responds from his side
Ken immediately turns as he sees Daisuke by his side and let himself fall back onto the bed and closes his eyes. " I'm dreaming"
"no you're not, this is real Ken" Dai smiles, leaning closer, "want me to prove it to you?" he teases
Ken opens one eye and grins. " please do"
"alright, you asked for it" Daisuke laughs as he kisses the bluehaired guy, "proven enough now?"
"Uhm.........no" Ken smiles as he pulls Daisuke back for another kiss.
Then Ken hugged Daisuke tight. " ow Daisuke I was so afraid" Ken suddenly sobbed.
"knew it." Dai smirks, "don't be afraid Ken, you're safe now! Thanks to Wedge!"
Ken nods through his sobs. " That Predacon leader wanted to make a slave out of our child" He continued
"he WHAT?! Why that filthy.." Dai growls, "the next time I see him, I'll.."
Ken shakes his head. " Please stay away from him Dai, please stay away. I don't want to loose you like I almost lost my baby"
Daisuke frowns, "but.. Well.. Okay, I will" he gives in, kissing his love on the forehead
" Daisuke, promise me you will never leave me" Ken sobs as the tears continued his way down Ken's cheek.
"I.. I promise you" Daisuke nods, "happy?" he smiles softly
Ken nods as he tries to hide the pain he had at the moment
"Ken? Are you alright? You're in pain, aren't you?" Dai looks worried
"NO, no I'm fine...really" He argued, not wanting to make Daisuke more worried than he already had been.
"Ken?! Don't you lie to me! Don't do that! Ever!" Dai narrows his eyes sadly
"I'n not lying. It doesn't even hurt" Ken says as he untangled himself from his love and jumps of the bed and walks to the other side of the medbay, pretending nothing was wrong.
Daisuke shakes his head, "I know you're hurt! Please tell me the truth!"
"It's nothing, Trust me. Nothing to worry about" Ken says trying to even convince himself.
"I AM worried about you Ken!! Why won't you tell me what's wrong?"
"Because I don't know what's wrong with me either" Ken cries out as the tears rapidly fall down his cheeks.
Daisuke quickly walks over and embraces him, "what are you feeling then? Pain?"
Ken nods as he buries his head in Daisuke's neck and continues to cry.
Where does it hurt then?? Maybe Shara can help!" Daisuke says, "or at least know what it is"
" My stomach, and please don't say it's morning sickness or something, cause it isn't, believe me" Ken mumbles.
"it isn't?? let's call Shara" Daisuke looks into Ken's eyes, "she'll help"
Ken nods as he slowly moves towards the bed, laying down carefuly. And gently starts to rub his belly, hopping this would make the pain go away.
Daisuke turns and walks over to a small handheld computer he dropped on a table, "Shara? are you there?" he asks as he activates the device, Shara's face appearing within a few seconds.
"Something wrong Daisuke?" the femme asks.
"yes, there is something wrong, with Ken, could you come over to the medbay?" the redhaired guy says, looking worried.
Shara nods, "alright, I'll be over immediately" she says as she breaks the connection, Daisuke quickly walks back over to Ken, "Shara is coming" he says
Ken nods as he takes Daisuke's hand and lays it on his tummy. " Do you feel it" He whisperes
Daisuke widens his eyes in shock, "what the.?!" he looks at Ken with disbelieve, "what?!"
" Do you feel it" He repeats as he looks at Daisuke's disbelieving face
"yeah, I feel it, but I don't believe it.. Are you sure that you're not the one doing it?" Daisuke asks unsure
Ken shakes his head firmly. " I'm sure Dai-chan" He says asholds Dai's hand still on his tummy.
"you sure?! Then that means that.!" he stops talking and looks at Ken's stomach in amazement
Ken smiles. " Isn't it amazing? that there is life growing within me?"
"yeah, it sure is!" Daisuke nods in approval, "and. it's all ours, that's even more amazing" he turns as Shara enters, "alright, I'm here, what's up?"
" I guess we already know what or better who was causing it" Ken says, still smilinh
Shara frowns and blinks, "what?" she looks at them both, "what do you mean?"
"well, we know what was causing Ken's pain" Daisuke answers
Ken nods as he takes Daisuke's hand and sqeezes it tight. " you tell her, or will I" He asks as he looks at his love
"may you have the honor" Daisuke grins.
Ken smirks and looks down at his tummy. " I guess our little expectance getting his first kicking lessons" ken says as he feels another kick.
Daisuke suddenly laughs softly, "maybe practicing for soccer?"
"Probably" Ken says. " I guess he or she is gonna be like you my dear Daisuke. A real soccer fan" he giggles
"woah! Don't forget who totally blanked me by that match between our teams!" Daisuke reminds Ken with mixed feelings
Ken face suddenly turned. " That wasn't me" He whispers as he was remined to the kaizer
"owh, ok, then nevermind" Daisuke says lightly, looking back at Ken from the corner of his eyes to see his reaction
instead of looking at Dai, he focuses on his tummy again, not wanting to bring that subject up again
Shara carefully looks at the both of them, "so... I pulled myself away in a hurry just for a baby that kicks, don't want to disappoint you, but mine started kicking long ago"
Ken face dropped. "We're sorry Shara, Daisuke thought something serious might be up" He explained.
Shara raises and her hand and waves him off, "I know, I know, don't worry, better call me in for something not serious than not call me in for something serious" she smiles, "but I really must go now, I have a patrol waiting for me" with that, she turns and leaves
"I'm sorry Dai-chan that I made you so worried" Ken says, apologizing himself.
"don't worry, no harm done, besides, I need to be worried about you, needn't I?"
Ken smiles as he takes his redheaded lover in his arms and kisses him deeply. " Love ya" Ken says as pulls back, and buries his head in Daisuke's neck. "I'm so lucky to have you" He whispers, nearly crying now.
Daisuke smiles and holds Ken tightly, "love you too" he replies
chapter 3
" How are you feeling my love" Sideburn asks as he enteres the medbay.
Wedge opens her eyes and looks at him, "like...." she looks around, "like those flowers in that vase: cut from below, drained from power and having nowhere to go, plus the fact that I looked in the mirror lately and.... well... damn you" she scowls but she's smiling, "you're ruining my nice figure!"
Sideburn sits down in the side of the bed " you at least still didn't loose you sence of humor"
Wedge smiles widely, "yeah, well, I gotta have some fun around here!" she grins, "T-ai said that I'll have to stay in bed untill the cr-chamber is ready, that'll be some time!"
"good thing the others give me presents..." she looks at a red whip laying on the nightstand, tilting her head, "typically Tayra and Koshiko, tease me like that"
Sideburn laughs, but sudden his face turn serieus. " Uhm Wedge.......Has someone told Daisuke? he asks as he takes hold of Wedge's hand.
Wedge looks at Sideburn before turning away, "Shara is...." she whispers, obviously blaming herself, "she's their friend after all, and a human too"
Sideburn nods. " We'll get him back, whatever it'll cost" He says as he squeezes her hand gently. "we''ll get Ken back, I promise you"
Wedge nods, "alright, if you say so...." she smiles, looking Sideburn up and down, lingering on the *down* part before quickly returning her gaze, "uhm... I meant what I said..." she whispers, blushing
Sideburn grins. " and so do I" he says kisses Wedge slightly
" Naughtly little femmebot you are" He mumbles against Wedge's lips.
Wedge grins, "I know, don't you love me for that?" she naughtly allows her hand to wander off to below, silently counting the seconds before the male would react
" I definitely do" Sideburn replies.
" I really hope Daisuke won't be mad at Shara" Sideburn suddenly murmered " She really feels guilty"
Wedge blinks, "yeah, I sure hope so" she whispers, "she ain't the only one..." she softly adds
Sideburn gazes at Wedge for a moment. " Why the hell would you feel guilty?"
Wedge narrow her eyes, "will you leave the hell out of this?! I don't want to go there yet!! but... well... I found it time to turn female just at that moment..."
" You did your best Wedge and both Ken and Daisuke know that"
" I honestly don't know Wedge. The fact is that.......well........you weren't fully charged yet. I'm convinced you'll defeat them the next time, when your fully recovered"
Wedge nods, that answer could satisfy her enough, "thanks for having so much trust in me, you're scaring me with it!" she grins her, "but Skybyte did lure me perfectly in his trap"
" Next time I see him I will kick his ass" Sideburn mumbers.
Wedge smiles, "i'm sure you will" she winks, looking away in shame.
" But now you will concentrate on getting better ,ok?"
Wedge nods, "I.... I will" she says, still looking troubled at the what Skybyte had said, "and... I'm sorry"
" For what" Sideburn asks as he lays the blanket gently over Wedge.
"I.... didn't tell you something...." Wedge avoids to look at the blue bot, "maybe it was just a wild guess, but what Skybyte said today.... he was right" she closes her eyes in fear, awaiting the expected outburst.
" Don't you worry my dear, I still love you. We have to live today not in the past"

Sideburn smiles back at her. " I'll always be there for you" He says as he kisses Wedge's forhead. " Love you" He whispers. " And now sleep"
Wedge grins, "am already gone" she says and closes her eyes
Sideburn grins as he dims the light of the room and leaves quitely.

"Do you think you can manage?' Sideburn asks Shara.
" Yeah, I guess so" Shara nods. " I just wonder how Dai will take it, besides how was Wedge?" She smirks.
"Pretty good I gues" Sideburn smirks as he thought back to their little being together.
"Yeah, she's warming up to you again. You will manage in the end" She smiles. "You'll make her happy, won't you?" She asks, showing her concern for the girl.
"Of course I will, but I know she is still worrying about Ken's kidnapping" Sideburn comments.
"Yup, your first trial Sideburn: Get her off the little guild trip" The femme grins, " And I know a pretty good way, if you catch my drift, but I need to go now and look for Dai"
Sideburn nods. " He's in the messroom"
"Oh thank you!" Shara smiles and turns " Oh and Wedge loves chocolate!" She grins.
~*~
Shara sighs as he walks into the messroom. " Uhm.hi Daisuke!"
"Hi shara, what's up?" Daisuke cheers as he turns to face the femme.
" Uhm yeah, there's something up alright" She replies.
"Huh where are you talking about?" "I'm talking about, well, we went to the mall right?"
"Yeah how was it!?" Where's Ken anyway?"
"Ken...is not here, we had a run in with the Predacons, our enemies" Shara looks sad. " We fought them"
Daisuke stands up slowly " He didn't got hurt did he?" Daisuke asks in shock and worry, " Tell me he's ok"
"No, he got captured by Megatron, the leader of the Predacons"
"He what!!! He...is he ok?" He sobs. " I mean, you are going to save him, don't ya?"
" Of course we will save him! It's just, I thought I'd let you know"
Daisuke nods " Shara their is something you should know"
"Oh? What is that then?"
"Ken told me stress was bad for him and the baby and since he is captured...."
"hell have allot of stress..." Shara sighs, her comlink activating, " Yes T- ai, speak up"
"Shara Wedge's gone! Have you seen her?"
"Uhm no I haven't, ain't she sleeping?"
" NO she has disappeared" T-ai says worried.
"really gone?" Oh Damn!" Shara gasps, " She's at the megastar! The Predacon base!"
Maybe she's getting Ken back" Daisuke says happily.
" Maybe she's a pregnant woman with a heavy dash in her chest and in no fighting condition!" Shara clutches her head, "Wedge ...think before you act"
~*~
Wedge quietly crawls through the megastar's ventilation shafts, trying to remain as silent as possible as she follows some sounds, getting closer quite rapidly and she stays still to look through a grate, seeing Ken and Megatron and her blood boils as she looks at the bluehaired human locked in a cage
"Tell me where's the autobots base is or else..........." Megatron shouts angrily.
Ken widens his eyes, "what are you going to do to me?!"
Megatron laughs evily " Well Sky-bite told me you where expecting something........" He smirks evily
"Of course you do!" He says as he grabs the cage and tosses it in the air and catches it again. " We sence there is life growing inside of you"
Ken closes his eyes in fear, "so.. Maybe there is... what do you want with it?!"
Megatron grins. " Maybe turn him or her into a slave. A slave used only to our purposes.
Ken feels his breath increasing, "no.. no.. you can't!"
"But of course I can! Who will stop me" Again he laughs as he sees the priceless look onto Ken's face.
Wedge narrows her eyes, 'I gotta help him! it's all my fault!' she quickly scurries on, listening before dropping out of the vents onto the ground
Megatron immediately turns to see the girl landing on the floor. " What the hell.........What are you doing here? you assholL"
Wedge looks up in a hurt manner, "hey, ain't I a girl now?! You hurt my feelings!"
"I care. What do you want! Do you want another beat up? Your use to it anyway, Slave!"
"what... did... you... say?!" Wedge quickly leaps to her feet, "I'm not a slave!! Well.. Uhm... I.. What are you trying to pull!? You won't confuse me!" she growls
Megatron grins. " Was I confusing you? Well what a pitty I failed, little slave. And for you...." He says as he looks at Ken. " Guards! Bring the prisinor to his cell, gently please" He said almost laughing.
'when does Megatron have guards? Or.. Decepticons? Predacons?' Wedge wonders in silence, leaping at Megatron, taking her sword and nearly missing the Predacon's head.
" you'll pay for that"Megatron shouts. Then a sudden smirk appeared on his face as he gazes at Ken. " You don't want him to get hurt do you"?"
Wedge widens her eyes, "owh.. Damnit, forgotten" she smiles at the predacon leader, "sorry Ken"
"I thought so. Deathstrike!!!"
" Yes boss" Deathstrike says as he enters the main room. His eye immediately fell on Wedge, who was holding her swords tightly, ready to strike again. 'This isn't fair' he thought
Wedge widens her eyes, "owh fuck" she glances at the door, "please not him..." she whispers.
Deathstrike eyeballs enlarged at the sight of Wedge, wanting to battle Megatron in her condition. " Wedge don't!" he shouts.
Wedge slowly lowers the sword into defensive level, "uhm... hiya D, uhm... what's up?" she slowly backs away, not sure what the elder, and stronger, Binjari warrior would do to her.
"What is going on here" Megatron shouts angrily. " Do you know this autobot?!!!" He yells
" Uhm sorta. you know, not really know or something. Just met. Like talking. Something like that yeah" Deathstrike manged to get out.
Wedge freezes, not daring to move a muscle, silently saying her goodbye- prayers, "this is it.. Nice knowing you all, Sideburn.. I really, really love you, I hope you won't miss me that much" she whispers
Deathstrike looked confused at the female bot. " Uhm Wedge.......What are ya doing? I hope your not saying your goodbye prayers yet, because because this battle hasn't even been battled yet.
"It... Ain't?! gods, I'm in for it now... I'm going to get sooo killed in here" Wedge squeaks, eyeing Deathstrike in a fearful manner, "at least I won't feel so much of it... I hope"
Suddenly Deathsrike starts to laugh out loud. " Wha.......what are you talking a....about. D.......do you really th....think I'm gonna kill.......you?"
Wedge frowns, "you're not? But.. But.. You're Decepticon and, and..
Also Megatron had follwed this conversation, and was looking ver confused at Deathstrike aswell. "Yes I't like to know the same thing"
Deathstrike grins. " Well It is very simple really. I'm not going to kill Wedge. I'm not going to follow up that order. From on one. Not even from you Megatron!" Deathstrike shouts as he draws his sword as well, pointing it at Megatron.
Wedge smirks, glaring at Deathstrike, "Megatron.... it seems that Binjari Warriors stick with each other, are you ready to go down?" she laughs, "give us Ken now..... please"
"Never!!" Megatron shouts as he graps the cage with contained Ken, and quickly opened the door, taking Ken out. " Your sure you want to battle, little binjari's" MEgatron asks as he pretends to sqeeze Ken into little pieces.
Wedge widens her eyes, 'no! what must we do now?!' she thinks, looking around nervously in search of a solution
Deathstrike winked at Wedge to distract Megatron so he could Attach him in the back so he had to release Ken
Wedge nods, starting to strafe towards Megatron's left side, "Megatron, I'm sure you're all powerfull and that...." she starts, "but maybe you don't understand something: Binjari's mainly act on instincts, and when pregnant, those instincts can become very agitated" she looks like she's going to cry, "and well, you wouldn't want me to cry.... now would you? big, strong, powerfull Predacon Leader?" she sobs, "I mean, am I not pretty charming to you?" she tilts her head, looking as cute as possible, and for her, that's a lot! 'that's it girl, charm the guy, use your tongue!' she compliments herself
Megatron grins. " What are you saying" He asks he he loosened the grip on ken a little.
Deathstrike who noticed Megatron's distraction quickly closed in to the Predacon leader. He needed to be sure he wouldn't hurt Ken in the proces to free him. As he stood behind Megatron he winked at Wedge to expect Ken any time soon. And about as he recieved a wink from Wedge, Deathstrike pushed Megatron forwards with all his might, seeing Ken being dropped. "' Wedge!!" He yells as he sees Ken nearing the ground quickly.
"got him!" Wedge yells, teleporting herself to catch the human, "yeah!" she smiles widely.
Also Deathstrike smiled at the succes of his plan. " Wedge I think it is better to get out odf here and bring the human in safety"
"yes sir!!" Wedge quickly turns heels and dashes through the halls, going straight for the exit, hearing Deathstrike behind her form.
"You won't get away" Megatron yells as he goes in persecute.
" Wedge where are we going now? We can't go directly to the base, can't we"
"don't worry!" Wedge responds as they leave the Predacon base, "we still have the spacebridge!" she calls just as a blue hole appears in front of them
Cheetor nods as he follows Wedge into the spacebridge. " We have to bring Ken into safety and see if he's wonded" He says as he looks at Ken's unconcious body.
Wedge nods, seeing that the human boy limp in Cheetor's arms, "yes, we need to.." She sinks on the ground clutching her head just as Sideburn and Shara appear at the other end of the tunnel.
~*~
" Wedge!!! Cheetor?" Shara cries out happily as she sees Wedge. "' And you got Ken back!"
Shara looks at Cheetor and smiles. " I guess you helped her out, didn't ya?"
Cheetor nods' But I guess I can't go back to the predacon base"
" What's that supose to mean" Shara asks as she looks curious at Wedge.
Daisuke quickly exits Sideburn and gasps, "oh no, Ken!" he sobs, looking at Wedge, "Wedge! Are you alright?!"
" Is Ken ok?" Shara gasps as she sees Ken's limp body in Cheetor's arms*
"We'll tell you the *whole* story later Shara, I think we need to bring Ken and Wedge to sickbay as fast as possible" Cheetor suggests.
Shara nods in agreement. "We leave Immediately"
She says as she transforms and opens het door to let Daisuke in" Common Daisuke get in"
Sideburn looks at Daisuke's worried face and says, " He'll be ok Daisuke. I'm sure of it, and so will the baby"
" I hope you're right Sideburn" Daisuke says as he holds Ken close and kisses his forhead
Wedge shudders and growls softly, "I need some medicine!" she whispers and tries to get up, failing miserably.
"Wedge are you ok" Sideburn yells as he runs over to his love and helps her up. " you shouldn't have gone out there, it was way to dangerous for you"
Wedge looks into Sideburn's red optics, "why? this is my doing after all, now I'd set it back right" she whispers, cringing from the pain in her head
" NO, you only brought yourself into danger. What if you haden't succeded in rescuing Ken, what then? Would you have helpt him then?"
Wedge ponders this for a moment, "no.. I guess I wouldn't.." she whispers sadly, "why can't I do something right for a change.. I always screw up" she steps away from Sideburn and walks away, using the wall for support while she holds one hand by her head, "I'm sorry.. I will leave you alone, you don't need me around anyways"
Sideburn sighs. " Wedge please don't feel so sorry for yourself. I was just worried about you, and the baby. What do you think I would have done if something happened to you." He says as he graps Wedge's hand and pulls her into an embrace. "I love you dammit" Wedge looks at the other bot and tears fall down her cheeks, "see! Now I do it again!!" she sobs, "I'm screwing up, again!"
"No wedge! You did great now. You saved Ken and made Daisuke happy"
"And you made me happy by coming back in one piece"
"What are you trying to do to yourself Wedge? Your trying to blame yourself for what happened. Stop it now!!! I hate when you go on the guild trip. Your not the only one who is guilty about Ken's abduction. I was there too, and I should have stopped Megatron from taking Ken. You at least tried something, compared to us you where the only one who did, Even now you did it on your own. You're the hero here, don't forget that. And Ken will be grateful later on. Megatron could have done more harm to him than he done now, if you hadn't interfered with him"
Wedge blinks, opening her mouth to say something, closing it again as nothing comes out and she blinks some more
Sideburn smiled. " Everything will be ok now, believe me. Ken will be ok and so will his child. and I'm sure that our baby will be perfectly healthy too.
"And when he or she will grow up, I hope it will be just as brave as it's mother"
"cause I'm proud of you Wedge, very proud"
Wedge blushes, "uhm. thanks for saying that, thanks, very, very, very, much" she smiles softly, "and I.. I." she angrily swallows and closes her eyes, "I.. I..." she shakes her head in miserable defeat and confusion, stopping in her sentence, "I.. Awh, forget it"
"What is it Wedge? Please tell me if something's wrong or is bothering you"
"no, er, yeah, something's wrong" Wedge stammers, "damn, why can't I say it?!" she growls, "that sentence! That *special* sentence, I want to, but I can't get it over my lips!" she looks at him, "you know what I want to say, don't you?"
Sideburn smiles. " Of course I do" He says as he softly kisses her.
"good, can we make a deal here?" Wedge grins, "you know that I 'that sentence' forever, so I won't need to break my vocal cords over it?"
Sideburn shakes is head and smiles. " Side can we take Wedge and Ken to medbay now?" Shara asks as Ken is carefully loaded is carefully loaded up into the Ferrari F50.
Wedge blushes, "yeah, okay" she nods, Daisuke smiles, "well, let's go already!"
~*~
Ken turns as he feels a hand touch his cheek. "mmm" Ken opens his eyes slowly and sits up in a rush. " Where am I? what happened?" he says confused.
"calm down, love, you're safe" a voice gently responds from his side
Ken immediately turns as he sees Daisuke by his side and let himself fall back onto the bed and closes his eyes. " I'm dreaming"
"no you're not, this is real Ken" Dai smiles, leaning closer, "want me to prove it to you?" he teases
Ken opens one eye and grins. " please do"
"alright, you asked for it" Daisuke laughs as he kisses the bluehaired guy, "proven enough now?"
"Uhm.........no" Ken smiles as he pulls Daisuke back for another kiss.
Then Ken hugged Daisuke tight. " ow Daisuke I was so afraid" Ken suddenly sobbed.
"knew it." Dai smirks, "don't be afraid Ken, you're safe now! Thanks to Wedge!"
Ken nods through his sobs. " That Predacon leader wanted to make a slave out of our child" He continued
"he WHAT?! Why that filthy.." Dai growls, "the next time I see him, I'll.."
Ken shakes his head. " Please stay away from him Dai, please stay away. I don't want to loose you like I almost lost my baby"
Daisuke frowns, "but.. Well.. Okay, I will" he gives in, kissing his love on the forehead
" Daisuke, promise me you will never leave me" Ken sobs as the tears continued his way down Ken's cheek.
"I.. I promise you" Daisuke nods, "happy?" he smiles softly
Ken nods as he tries to hide the pain he had at the moment
"Ken? Are you alright? You're in pain, aren't you?" Dai looks worried
"NO, no I'm fine...really" He argued, not wanting to make Daisuke more worried than he already had been.
"Ken?! Don't you lie to me! Don't do that! Ever!" Dai narrows his eyes sadly
"I'n not lying. It doesn't even hurt" Ken says as he untangled himself from his love and jumps of the bed and walks to the other side of the medbay, pretending nothing was wrong.
Daisuke shakes his head, "I know you're hurt! Please tell me the truth!"
"It's nothing, Trust me. Nothing to worry about" Ken says trying to even convince himself.
"I AM worried about you Ken!! Why won't you tell me what's wrong?"
"Because I don't know what's wrong with me either" Ken cries out as the tears rapidly fall down his cheeks.
Daisuke quickly walks over and embraces him, "what are you feeling then? Pain?"
Ken nods as he buries his head in Daisuke's neck and continues to cry.
Where does it hurt then?? Maybe Shara can help!" Daisuke says, "or at least know what it is"
" My stomach, and please don't say it's morning sickness or something, cause it isn't, believe me" Ken mumbles.
"it isn't?? let's call Shara" Daisuke looks into Ken's eyes, "she'll help"
Ken nods as he slowly moves towards the bed, laying down carefuly. And gently starts to rub his belly, hopping this would make the pain go away.
Daisuke turns and walks over to a small handheld computer he dropped on a table, "Shara? are you there?" he asks as he activates the device, Shara's face appearing within a few seconds.
"Something wrong Daisuke?" the femme asks.
"yes, there is something wrong, with Ken, could you come over to the medbay?" the redhaired guy says, looking worried.
Shara nods, "alright, I'll be over immediately" she says as she breaks the connection, Daisuke quickly walks back over to Ken, "Shara is coming" he says
Ken nods as he takes Daisuke's hand and lays it on his tummy. " Do you feel it" He whisperes
Daisuke widens his eyes in shock, "what the.?!" he looks at Ken with disbelieve, "what?!"
" Do you feel it" He repeats as he looks at Daisuke's disbelieving face
"yeah, I feel it, but I don't believe it.. Are you sure that you're not the one doing it?" Daisuke asks unsure
Ken shakes his head firmly. " I'm sure Dai-chan" He says asholds Dai's hand still on his tummy.
"you sure?! Then that means that.!" he stops talking and looks at Ken's stomach in amazement
Ken smiles. " Isn't it amazing? that there is life growing within me?"
"yeah, it sure is!" Daisuke nods in approval, "and. it's all ours, that's even more amazing" he turns as Shara enters, "alright, I'm here, what's up?"
" I guess we already know what or better who was causing it" Ken says, still smilinh
Shara frowns and blinks, "what?" she looks at them both, "what do you mean?"
"well, we know what was causing Ken's pain" Daisuke answers
Ken nods as he takes Daisuke's hand and sqeezes it tight. " you tell her, or will I" He asks as he looks at his love
"may you have the honor" Daisuke grins.
Ken smirks and looks down at his tummy. " I guess our little expectance getting his first kicking lessons" ken says as he feels another kick.
Daisuke suddenly laughs softly, "maybe practicing for soccer?"
"Probably" Ken says. " I guess he or she is gonna be like you my dear Daisuke. A real soccer fan" he giggles
"woah! Don't forget who totally blanked me by that match between our teams!" Daisuke reminds Ken with mixed feelings
Ken face suddenly turned. " That wasn't me" He whispers as he was remined to the kaizer
"owh, ok, then nevermind" Daisuke says lightly, looking back at Ken from the corner of his eyes to see his reaction
instead of looking at Dai, he focuses on his tummy again, not wanting to bring that subject up again
Shara carefully looks at the both of them, "so... I pulled myself away in a hurry just for a baby that kicks, don't want to disappoint you, but mine started kicking long ago"
Ken face dropped. "We're sorry Shara, Daisuke thought something serious might be up" He explained.
Shara raises and her hand and waves him off, "I know, I know, don't worry, better call me in for something not serious than not call me in for something serious" she smiles, "but I really must go now, I have a patrol waiting for me" with that, she turns and leaves
"I'm sorry Dai-chan that I made you so worried" Ken says, apologizing himself.
"don't worry, no harm done, besides, I need to be worried about you, needn't I?"
Ken smiles as he takes his redheaded lover in his arms and kisses him deeply. " Love ya" Ken says as pulls back, and buries his head in Daisuke's neck. "I'm so lucky to have you" He whispers, nearly crying now.
Daisuke smiles and holds Ken tightly, "love you too" he replies
