Lancex headed for home, his processor still attempting to process what he had learned. He couldn't believe he himself was carrying life – sparklings – inside him. He had never known his systems were capable of this feat and yet, here he was. Soon, his feet led him home. Scourge and Hotshot had not yet arrived home, but Evac was there. "Where did you go?" Evac asked, loving concern in his voice.
"I went to see the medic because my systems have been acting up and rebelling against me, it seems" Lancex replied honestly.
"Did you find your answer?" Evac asked, opening the comm up so that Hotshot and Scourge could hear this.
"I did, but I don't think anyone will believe me" Lancex answered, still not sure how he felt about this.
Evac came over and gave the bot a hug. "We are here for you. I have Hotshot and Scourge on the comm listening in. They would be here if they could, but they have a few things to finish up. We are your sparkmates and we support you and love you. You can tell us anything" Evac encouraged, wanting to hear what was really going on.
"Well…" Lancex started, "Red alert said… I'm sparked, heavily sparked in his words. I think that means twins." Lancex then hung his head, fearful of rejection.
Evac gently lifted Lancex's helm and gave the bot a soft, loving smile. "While this is unexpected, we will love them and you no matter what" Evac gently stated, softly stroking Lancex's faceplates.
"You mean it?" Lancex asked and Evac nodded. "Well, I am not sure how to be a parent."
"No one is born a parent, Lancex. We will all learn together" Evac responded, hugging Lancex. The bot felt a bit better. Hotshot and Scourge pulsed love along the bond. Lancex felt relieved that all his mates supported and loved him and the developing sparklings inside him.
Meanwhile, as Lancex hugged Evac, Jetfire was having all kinds of kinky interfacing fun with Optimus. And Optimus was enjoying every single minute of it. Jetfire smirked as he watch the Prime enjoy all the kinky ways of interfacing that Jetfire knew, which was quite extensive. Now Jetfire had one thing left to do – form a spark bond with Optimus. What neither was aware of was that like Lancex, Optimus would be capable of carrying life inside him, and all these not interfacing sessions had triggered Optimus' systems to prepare to carry life.
Jetfire asked Optimus to release his spark so that they could sparkbond. Optimus did so quickly. With the overload that hit when the sparks connected, neither saw Optimus' spark flash, but this flash was different than the flash that Lancex had had. This one meant that not only would Optimus be carrying life in his sparkling development chamber, a pair of twins, but also, Optimus would be carrying one on his powerful spark. Once the session was over, Optimus passed out, contentment on his face. Jetfire just snuggled next to him, both just happy that they had connected and unaware that there was a surprise in store for them as well. Boy would they be surprised.
