Several weeks after the night of intense passion for some bots, things had definitely changed. Optimus had revealed himself and the others to the earthlings and made sure they were aware that Optimus and the others came in peace. Most humans understood, though some were still a little concerned. It wasn't every day that an alien revealed itself to earthlings.

Lancex was happy that the war was over and that he had two loving mates who seemed to spoil him rotten with all kinds of wonderful attention. But for now, Lancex was on his own and heading for what passed as the med bay in this base, as Lancex felt like his systems were rebelling against him. He had no idea what he would see when he got there.

Lancex soon arrived at the area and was a bit surprised to see Optimus with Megatron and Dreadwing. Dreadwing was clinging on to Optimus and standing slightly behind the bot while Megatron was getting examined. "Boy, Optimus, you sure know how to get things done" Ratchet stated, making it known both Dreadwing and Megatron were now heavily sparked and Ratchet wasn't exactly thrilled about it.

"When the Matrix directs me, I follow its guidance" Optimus replied, just before seeing Lancex arrive in the area. Optimus quickly spotted the bot. "Hi, Lancex. By the way, thank you very much for your creative way to end the war. Now our next mission is to rebuild our race."

Lancex, a little caught off guard to be spotted so quickly, nodded. "You are welcome, Optimus. Maybe for once, those two can be productive instead of destructive" Lancex replied, not having quite caught Ratchet's comment.

Optimus smiled behind his battlemask. "Oh, of that I have no doubt, as they are already starting on their way" Optimus informed Lancex, who smiled and then allowed Optimus and his two heavily sparked mates to leave.

Once Optimus was gone, Ratchet approached Lancex. "And what do you need fixed? You look healthy to me" Ratchet bellowed at Lancex.

"My systems are acting off. I want to be thoroughly checked out" Lancex replied.

Ratchet nodded, hoping he would not discover what he thought this might be. But luck was not on the medic's side and soon three precious sparks developing in Lancex's developmental chamber revealed themselves. Ratchet sighed heavily and Lancex shot the medic a dirty look. "Well, just like Megatron and Dreadwing, you are heavily sparked" Ratchet revealed, unsure about what reaction he would get this time.

Lancex, upon hearing the information, glitched for a second. Him… sparked? But then he thought about his mates and smiled. "Thank you, Ratchet, I must inform my mates" Lancex replied and soon headed out. Ratchet shook his head. The last thing they needed right now was 9 new sparklings, or so Ratchet thought. But Ratchet had no control over this and that was what made the medic most upset.

Meanwhile, having left the med area, Lancex returned to his mates. Lancex was in a bit of a happy daze as he arrived at his quarters. "What's wrong?" Predaking asked, as Lancex looked strange.

"Nothing is wrong per se" Lancex replied, still in a bit of a daze.

"You have news?" Bulkhead asked.

"Yes… I am…. Sparked" Lancex revealed. Upon hearing that, Bulkhead and Predaking smiled and snuggled with their mate. Lancex was truly happy that he had a loving family and looked forward to having the precious little ones with his mates.
