The next day, while Optimus was already in the med bay waiting for a check up, Lancex and Jetfire both woke up and felt their tanks rebelling against them. Both tried to rush to the nearest relieving station, and thankfully, both fit in the one nearest their berth room. Both were upchucking multicolored energon, much of which had been consumed the night before.

"I.. I think we should head for the med bay" Jetfire stated, as he never lost his energon like this.

"Agreed, and seeing that our other two mates are deep in recharge, we should go just the two of us" Lancex replied and Jetfire agreed. The helped each other off the floor and both made there way to the med bay, and boy would the be in shock as who was there and why.

Meanwhile, as Lancex and Jetfire headed to the med bay, Optimus was finally being seen by Arcee and Solar flare. "So what's the verdict?" Optimus asked figuring his systems were just old. Little did he realize Dirt had done a really good job with the Prime's heat.

"Well…" Arcee starred.

"You are heavily sparked" Solar Flare answered.

"Sparked? What do you mean sparked and heavily at that?" Optimus demanded to know.

"Did you have an episode where you felt warm and like you were going crazy and stayed holed up in your quarters for a bit?" Solar asked.

"What of it?" Optimus answered, deflecting the question a bit while still answering.

"You had a strong heat cycle. Your systems told me. You have a spark growing on your spark and your sparkling development chamber holds three sparks in it" Solar revealed. Optimus was stunned into silence.

And while Optimus was processing what he had been told, Jetfire and Lancex entered the med bay. Seeing that Optimus was okay for the moment, Arcee went over to the pair. "How can I help you?" She asked.

"Well.. they started and detailed their symptoms and such. Arcee had a feeling she knew exactly what both these two had. She went to get the special scanner, one that could be used on bots who did not carry the Matrix of Leadership. She came back to the pair. She scanned Jetfire first and then Lancex. "Congrats, you are both sparked" Arcee stated. Jetfire passed out while Lancex just stood there, having caught his passed out mate.

"Do you know how many?" Lancex asked.

"Jetfire Carries one while you are carrying twins" Arcee replied. Lancex nodded and then noticed his father.

"What is Optimus doing here?" Lancex asked.

"That I cannot tell you. You must ask him" Arcee answered. Lancex didn't like that answer, but it was the only one Arcee could offer. Lancex would wait for a bit, as Jetfire was still passed out and Optimus didn't look like he was going to go anywhere anytime soon. Boy would Lancex be shocked when he learned the truth about his father.
