(Authors Note: Hello dearest readers, fellow writers, fangirls, fanboys, and TF fans of every genera, faction, gender and nation! So, first of all, I apologize for not uploading this chapter sooner but I was busy celebrating my birthday with my sister, brother-in-law and niece last week and am currently recovering from a rather nasty cold that's left me feeling rather stuffy and physically drained. My niece gave it to us but thankfully it's just a cold and not something much worse. Regardless, I hope you've all been enjoying the story and for those of you who've also been reading 'A Barricade of Stone', I hope you've been enjoying that story as well. As I've mentioned, both stories are set in the same location/universe and tie into one another, yet are their own stories...like Marvel movies :D. Anyways, if you'd like, feel free to leave a review as I enjoy reading all of your positive feedback and take inspiration from your supportive criticism, wholesome comments, and kind words. Regardless, thank you all for the continued likes and support, and until next time, stay safe, stay healthy, stay hydrated, and stay awesome!)

(Warning: This chapter contains some sex and lots of adorable/wholesome fluff.)

Chapter 48

-0620-

Kenobi was first to awake shortly after the sun rose and began to shine through the thin space between the bedroom curtains. Emitting a yawn and a stretch, the young pup sat back down upon the comforter and stared at the three sleeping figures before him:

Sunstreaker was lying on his back on the right side of the bed, while Anwen was lying against his chest and hugging his left arm, and Sideswipe was on the left side of the bed, spooning her from behind. While said bed was only a queen in size, it didn't seem to limit their ability to find a comfortable sleeping position. On the contrary, it was perfect because it meant they had to stay close together if they wished to remain on top of the mattress rather than on the floor.

Despite their comfort and exhaustion, a soft whine instantly alerted the three of them to Kenobi's presence, to which Anwen tiredly tried to sit up but was stopped by Sideswipe as he gently placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll take him outside while you rest."

"Mm..merci," she mumbled as she closed her eyes and immediately fell back asleep. It was clear that she was still mentally and physically drained from last night's chaos.

With an adoring smile, Sideswipe softly kissed her cheek before picking Kenobi up off the bed and carrying him out of the room, while Sunstreaker remained behind and wrapped his arm around Anwen's smaller frame. While he was fully awake, he couldn't bring himself to leave her side just yet. Instead, he was content with lying beside her and watching her sleep while waiting for his brother to return from walking the 'fur baby'.

An amused smirk lined the frontliner's face at the endearing term Anwen gave to said creature. While the little K9 was basically her equivalent of a sparkling, it still amused him that she often addressed Kenobi as 'their child'. And what of sparklings? Would she want any? Could he and his brother even have sparklings with her? Both frontliners' never thought they'd even find their sparkmate, let alone have sparklings, so why was he contemplating that prospect all of a sudden? And why now? They haven't even been bonded for a month and already his processor was swirling with possible outcomes as to what their future might hold. Of course, he had no desire to rush into such events as he was perfectly content with how things were at the moment.

His thoughts were abruptly interrupted when he was suddenly met with a sleepy pair of amber/cerulean eyes staring up at him. "...Quelque chose dans votre esprit (Something on your mind)?"

Knowing she could now sense/feel his (and Sideswipe's) emotions, he emitted a sigh and ran his fingers through her thick, red curls. "It was just a passing thought. I'm sorry to have disturbed your recharge."

She lightly shook her head and gave him a gentle squeeze, "It's fine. Do you want to tell me what it was about?"

"In time; but it's nothing to fret over right now." He kissed her forehead and gave her a tender smile, "You should recharge a bit longer as you had a rather tiring night."

She gave him a nod in agreement and closed her eyes, to which he did the same and lovingly held her close as they allowed sleep/recharge to envelope them once more.

Upon returning to the apartment with Kenobi, Sideswipe removed the young pup's harness and quietly served him his morning intake before opting to fix breakfast for himself, his brother and their sparkmate. Sure, he was still a bit tired from last night's battle, but his desire to cook outweighed his need to rest. That, and since the holoform upgrades, he was eager to try some more human cuisine. Picking up one of Anwen's cookbooks, he casually scrolled through it until he found a desirable recipe that he knew he, his brother and their sparkmate would enjoy. Afterwards, he retrieved all the necessary ingredients and proceeded to create the selected dish: three cheese, spinach and mushroom quiche.

The soft chiming of her phone's alarm alerted Anwen that she needed to wake up and feed Morticia, to which she reached over Sunstreaker and turned it off before she felt his strong, protective arms wrap around her tiny waist.

"And where do you think you're going at this early hour," he asked while feathering soft kisses along her stomach.

"Mmm, I have to head over to Dagny's apartment and feed her cat. Remember? We talked about this last night."

*sigh* "Yes, I know. But can you blame me for wanting to keep you close?"

"No," she then kissed his chest before slipping out of the bed and donning her slippers. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Alright. If you need anything, just let me know."

"I will." Anwen then stepped out of the bedroom and was met with the sight of Sideswipe casually washing dishes in the sink while Kenobi sat nearby and stared up at him.

Sensing her presence, the younger twin turned around and smiled, "Good morning Ani, how did you sleep?"

"Bien (Fine). I was just about to head over to Dagny's apartment and feed her cat."

"Ah, alright then. Don't hesitate to contact Sunny and I if you need anything."

"Alright. By the way, I was thinking we'd stop by the hospital and visit her for a little while later."

"Sounds good to me; however, Sunny is scheduled for patrol soon, so he'll likely be out for most of the afternoon."

"Oh…I'm guessing that was a last minute decision."

"Yea. Ever since yesterday's attack, Prime and Lennox have doubled the patrol's."

"Well, I can understand their reasoning. Either way, I'll be back shortly."

"Alrighty." He then stepped over and gave her a kiss on the cheek before she grabbed Dagny's keys and headed out of her apartment.

Upon unlocking the unit and stepping inside, Anwen was met with a familiar pair of yellow eyes as Morticia stared up at her and emitted a soft *meow* in a form of greeting.

"Bonjour little minou (kitty). Are you hungry?"

*meow, meow, meow* Said cat rubbed against her freckled legs and began to loudly purr, to which Anwen reached down and gently petted her soft ebony fur before retrieving the cat food from the cupboard and filling her bowl.

Once Morticia began eating her kibbles, Anwen decided to change out her water before heading into the living room and taking a few minutes to admire the vast collection of books that lined the shelves. Honestly, she was a bit envious: Having lived in a van prior to moving out to Diego Garcia, she didn't have much room to spare for a bunch of books at the time. That, and when she moved, she sold most of her college textbooks and a bunch of items she no longer needed in order to save space in her luggage and make a little extra cash on the side.

With a sigh, the young ginger headed out of Dagny's apartment and locked the door behind her before heading home.

Stepping into the flat, she was greeted by Kenobi, who happily wagged his tail and licked her legs. "Bonjour mon petit ange (Hello my little angel), are you being a good boy for your Papas'?"

Said pup emitted a series of happy whines while his butt continued to wiggle as she loved on him and showered him with attention.

"He was crying for a few minutes after you left," Sunstreaker admitted as he stepped out from the bedroom.

"Oh wee one, were you crying because you missed me?"

He whined and stood up on his back legs while pawing at her thighs, which indicated that he wanted her to pick him up. Who was she to refuse? With a smile, Anwen gently picked him up and held him against her chest, "Quel gentil bébé tu es (What a sweet baby you are)."

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say he's trying to make us jealous," Sideswipe admitted with a smirk while laying out some plates and forks on the counter.

"What's there to be jealous of? He's just a wee bébé (baby)."

"True," he shrugged. "By the way, what time did you want to visit Dagny?"

"Mm, I was thinking sometime around noon. That way she has time to sleep in and catch up on some rest."

"Sounds good to me."

Shortly after breakfast, Sunstreaker reluctantly left for his patrol while Anwen and Sideswipe tidied up the kitchen and began stirring up a chocolate mousse cake to bring to Dagny. As she whisked the ingredients together in the mixing bowl, she suddenly felt his arms wrap around her waist while he softly began kissing her neck.

"Mm, Sideswipe…are you trying to distract me?"

"Maybe," he smirked while his fingers played with the hem of her shirt. "Do you want me to stop," he asked in a lustful voice while one hand slipped underneath her shirt and squeezed her left breast, while the other rested on her hip.

At this, Anwen emitted a soft moan but focused on her cake batter. "We should continue this exchange after I put the cake in the oven to bake."

"Very well. I'll just have to restrain myself until then," he smirked against her neck before softly nipping her freckled skin, causing her to gasp in both surprise and pleasure.

"You don't play fair."

"I never said I did," he chuckled, causing her to purse her lips in mock irritation.

XXXXX

Once the cake was in the oven and the timer was set, Anwen and Sideswipe retreated into the bedroom and closed the door behind them so Kenobi wouldn't follow and witness their coupling. At the moment, both were in the process of removing each other's clothes while they made their way back towards the bed.

Once all their garments were off/deactivated, Anwen emitted a gasp as he bit her neck, "Sideswipe…"

"Ani…"

"Could..Ohh..Could you do something for me?"

"Anything," he lustfully answered while he caressed her slender frame and softly placed an open-mouth kiss upon her throat.

"Is it possible for you to change your holoform into a miniature replica of your true form?"

At this, the frontliner ceased his actions and looked into her radiant eyes with a smile lining his face, "I thought you'd never ask." With that, his holoform shifted from a human to a smaller version of himself. Granted, he was now almost a foot taller than her, but this small-scale version of him was every bit as stunning and handsome as his full-size body was. "How's this?"

"Perfect," she whispered before they shared a long, passionate kiss that left them yearning for more.

As he laid her upon the bed, Sideswipe kissed a trail from her navel up to her chest while she nimbly tweaked and tugged at the exposed cables around his neck, causing him to arch his back and emit a series of static clicks from his vocalizer. While doing this, Anwen couldn't help but glance down at his pelvic region and notice a foreign yet familiar anomaly: It was chrome in color, had ridges all around the shaft, and was almost as long and thick as her forearm. Of course, there was no questioning as to what it was for she figured even in this form he'd obviously have one. 'Of course he would,' she mentally chastised herself as she took in the impressive sight before her.

"Like what you see," Sideswipe asked in an amused tone, bringing a bright shade of red to her cheeks.

With a bashful smile, Anwen bit her lower lip and gave a nod, "Oui; but can you blame me for my curiosity? This is my first time seeing it as it truly is. I mean, it's a small-scale version of its actual size, but still.."

He chuckled and caressed her cheek with one servo while the other kept himself propped up, "I apologize for not showing you sooner."

"Non (No), you don't need to apologize. However, I do have some questions, but those can be answered later, if that's alright?"

"Fine by me," he smiled before they shared another kiss, to which he also caressed her inner thigh as she placed her hands on his shoulders and gave him a gentle squeeze while he slowly and carefully pushed his length into her.

At his larger size, Anwen emitted a wince and began to tremble, to which he slightly altered his spike so as to comfortably fit inside her without causing her further pain or discomfort. "Are you okay sweetspark?"

"O-Oui, I'm okay. It's just…you're so much bigger in this form."

He emitted a soft chuckle and lovingly caressed her cheek, "If you think this is impressive, just imagine us trying to do this while I'm in my full size."

"Could…Mmm..Could we even do that?"

"Well, I'd have to alter my spike in order to properly fit into your valve, but I don't see why we couldn't. I mean, you'd obviously have to be on top, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem," he winked, causing her to blush.

"Cheeky mech."

"Divine femme." The two of them then shared a deep, loving kiss while he slowly began to move in and out of her, to which she softly moaned and raked her nails along the plaiting of his back.

XXXXX

For the next half hour, both Anwen and Sideswipe made passionate love to one another until their climaxes left them completely spent and satisfied. No sooner had they finished, the timer went off, signaling that the cake was done baking. This of course, caused them to laugh at their impeccable timing.

After removing himself from her heavenly chalice and sheathing his spike, Sideswipe kissed Anwen's cheek before slipping out of the bed and heading out into the kitchen to check the cake and or remove it from the oven. As he did this, she shakily made her way into the bathroom to freshen up while Kenobi slipped inside and rushed over to her.

"Oh petit (_ little one), did you miss me? I'm sorry you were shut out of the room, but your Papa Sideswipe and I just wanted some alone time," she lovingly scratched his floppy ears while he emitted a whine. "You're such a sweet boy. Yes you are."

He happily wagged his tail in response to her compliment, which brought a smile to her face. Once she finished giving Kenobi scratches, Anwen freshened herself up and donned her robe before stepping out into the kitchen where Sideswipe was busy mixing the ingredients for the chocolate mousse frosting.

Having his back to her, this presented the young ginger with a golden opportunity. As silently as she could, she approached and spanked his aft, causing him to slightly jump on his wheels. "Primus, Ani what was that for?" His tone was not of frustration, but rather amused confusion.

A cheeky smile lit up the young ginger's face as she looked up at him, "What? You got a nice aft and I wanted to tap it since I can't really do so when you're at your full height."

"Oh, I see. You just couldn't resist."

"Non (Nope)."

"Well, in that case, would you permit me to do something similar to you?"

"Poursuivre (Go ahead)," she turned around and bent over a tad bit, which allowed him better access to her robe-covered peach. However, instead of a spank, Sideswipe gave her a kinky goose, which caused her to jump and emit a startled, "Eep!"

"Now we're even," he chuckled before returning to his previous task.

(Another Authors Note: Hello again dear readers! I hope you all enjoyed this wholesome chapter as I just wanted to write something sweet and kinda kinky :D By the way, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, to 'goose' someone is to poke them between the buttox. You're welcome LOL)
