Rhapsody in Blue

Chapter 3

"He has to have door wings!" Bluestreak added.

"And he should have a red paint job." Sideswipe beamed, taking a sip from his cup.

"Gold. Not red." Sunstreaker shoved his twin

"Red."

"Gold."

"Red!"

"Sorry guys, but Lil J already decided on Blue." Jazz grinned as the twins threw nasty looks at one another. Jazz didn't even know if they had heard what he had said as they were still shouting "red" and "gold." Brothers they were and argue they did. The saboteur made a mental note to not have any more kids after this.

No way could he handle sibling rivalry.

Across the table, Ratchet was looking over the basic blueprints as Wheeljack was writing down the suggestions from the others. Jazz and Jynx wanted everyone to give one idea to contribute to the design and with Jynx now bed ridden, it was up to Jazz to get the ideas down so she could see it later.

Sparkplug sat on one of the computers behind Ratchet, tapping his chin thoughtfully. "Did you already design an alt mode for him?"

Jazz shook his head, "Naw. That don't come till later."

"But isn't the whole design centered around an alt mode?" Sparkplug asked, looking slightly confused.

"Uh uh. See Transforming's kinda a… well like a milestone. Ya have to be a certain age 'fore that happens so then ya can choose whatcha wanna be."

"Ohhh. I thought everyone just started with an alt mode." Sparkplug scratched his head thoughtfully and smiled.

"Maybe you should give him a race car alt mode, Jazz" Mirage said.

"Or a Jeep." Hound added with a grin.

Jazz smirked, "what are you guys talkin' bout? He's gunna be a Porsche."

Ratchet stood up from his seat and collected his papers, Wheeljack did the same. "Alright, we're going to go get some of this organized. We'll come by later to show you two the prints."

The saboteur nodded and checked the time, "Thanks guys. I gotta go check on Jynx anyway." Jazz got up from his seat and headed for the door when he his communicator went off. No sooner had he gotten the call before he shot out of the door and down the hall way.

It was a 911 emergency call.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Eeeeeer….Damn it! Gahhhhh…..Arrrrrr… Slag!"

The door flung open, as Jazz had forced it open after he got aggravated with the combination lock. His fingers were moving too fast for the machine.

"Jynx! Where are ya? You okay?" Jazz panted out, frantically looking about the room and finding his mate about five feet away.

She was on her berth trying to heave herself to and upright position and failing miserably, cursing the sleeping god all the while. "I can't get up! Slagging paralysis!"

"That's it? You called 911 jus' because ya couldn't sit up?" Jazz looked like he was about to pass out, leaving heavily on the closed door. "I jus' ran 'cross the entire Ark to get here!"

Jynx gave him a cross look, "Don't give me that. I'm the one stuck in a bed for another month and can't even lift a leg."

Jazz sighed, his head hitting the back of the door with a clang. "Sorry but nex' time will ya jus' comm me instead without the emergency frequency?"

"Oh fine, just help me sit up? I can't get anything to eat and your son is telling me he's hungry."

The saboteur chuckled and sauntered over to hold out a hand, "He tol' ya, huh? Funny, I thought the lil guy was jus' a big shiny ball inside ya right now."

"Yeah that's what they tell me but it sure feels like I have the whole baby growing in there like those humans have to deal with. But then, I've lost feeling from my chest plate down." Jazz pulled her up and scooted her back so that she could lean up against the wall for support. Femmes usually had sparking symptoms which included drowsiness, energy loss and loss of some movement. Unfortunately because of her small fame, she was inundated with all of the symptoms, offline for hours at a time, eating when she wasn't recharging and complete loss of everything but her head and arms.

Jazz handed the container to her and she took it hungrily while Jazz sat beside her. "Nothin' on T.V., huh babe?"

She shrugged between bites managing to squeeze out, "Oprah, but it was a re-run. Like I need to worry about a cheating husband." Jynx smirked, "Especially when I'm the only female on the planet."

"Good point. Good point," Jazz grinned lopsidedly before stretching his arms over his head and yawning. "I think I'm gunna turn in early, Love. I'm pooped." The Porsche then fell back on his back, his head probed up on her thigh like a big pillow.

"Ya know, sitting here all day long, you wouldn't think that I'd get tired either but it's exhausting." Jynx said, gulping down the last of dinner and setting it aside.

"Uh huh," Jazz muttered, flopping on his side and shutting down his optics. Jynx smiled and rested a hand on his helm, tracing the horns tenderly. The mech curled up, bringing his knees to his chest and his arms under his head to act like another pillow.

"Night, Love." He muttered.

Jynx smiled lovingly, caressing the sides of his face, running a finger across his lips. He could be so adorable sometimes. Softly she pressed a kiss to her finger and brought it down to his cheek since she couldn't actually bend over to give him a kiss.

"Night, Love."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next morning, Jynx was due for a check up from Doc Ratch but since she obviously couldn't take a jog down to repair bay, Ratchet had to make a house call much to his chagrin. He arrived right on the dot, pounding of the door grumpily.

"Mornin' to you too, Ratch-man." Jazz greeted cheerfully. Ratchet pushed past and went to the berth to set up.

"You're lucky I didn't have anyone in repair bay." Ratchet groused.

Jynx just rolled her eyes. She knew just as much as Jazz did that the CMO was not a morning person, so the fact that he had to get up earlier than usual annoyed the slag out of him. Jynx just figured as soon as the good medic got a cup of energon in him he'd be in a much better mood. Too bad he didn't grab a glass before coming that morning.

"What's wrong, Doc? Not enough perky Ratchet coffee this morning?" Jynx teased.

"No, too much Gears this morning. Slagging little…" He muttered something that Jynx couldn't quite catch.

Ratchet then grabbled with a few wires, untangling the mess before him. "Alright, lay back and don't talk." He snapped and held out two devices, one he kept in front of his face while the other he left hover just about the spark casing. Jazz stood just behind the medic, trying to look over his shoulder.

A few beeps sounded as the scan was completed. Ratchet remained quiet, watching the readouts before re-running the scan. He watched the results again. Then ran the scan a third time. Watched the readouts, and scanned a fourth time.

"How the hell did you manage this?" Ratchet muttered.

"Manage what?" Jynx and Jazz said in unison, now sitting closely together.

"Two."

"Two? Two what?" Jynx watched the medic's face, looking for some emotion other than complete confusion. It didn't change.

Finally, the medic looked up. "Two sparks."

"Well… weren't there always two? I mean Jynx's and-" Ratchet cut off Jazz's question.

"No, I mean there's two sparks in the chamber." The CMO looked over the results a sixth time, rubbing his chin. "They aren't twins…the sparks are two different sizes. But then…" He became silent again. "I guess it's not unheard of but… rare. It looks like one spark- the one I found the first time- is about ninety percent formed. The other… the other is small. Only about five percent formed. I guess we never saw the small one because it was so small."

"Woah woah!" Jazz rubbed the back of his head, "Are you sayin' we're havin' two now?" He looked over to his mate who was no staring at her midsection, a hand resting on top, a smile across her face. He grinned at her and then looking thoughtfully at the floor.

"I'm a daddy…"

He paused.

"Huh. Guess it don't make it anymore real the second time ya say it, does it?"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Author's Notes: I was hoping I might be able to get this one finished before I had to move and YEY! I did. :D I'd have to say this is probably my favorite chapter in this fic so far even though it didn't come out as I had planned. In fact, most of this is changed from the original story as I do with just about everything I write. Ha Ha. I really want to thank LJ, Tiamat, Mariashadow, TruebornChaos, Majesticburn, Whirlwind, and Soundwave's Idol for your coments! And Congrats for Tiamat on the upcoming baby:D And no, Jynx has a lot more than just being sleepy ;) Thanks again everyone for wishing me luck on the move aswell! I move Saturday so hopefully everything goes as planned. My dad's motorcycle club is helping me move. Now that proves to be funny.

Hope everyone liked Chapter 3 :D
