About a week or two after the intense night of passion where Optimus finally bonded, things seemed to be mostly back to the new normal. Optimus, after finally being rid of his heat, explained to his fellow Autobot about him now being bonded, and after explaining things to the humans as well, all were supportive of the Prime.
Optimus was currently in his office. True, his systems weren't acting up like they had before, but they still hadn't completely returned to normal. He wasn't sure what was up, but he was not going to go to the med bay just yet, over a feeling of being off. He figured Red alert would think it was all just in the Prime's head and not take the Prime serious.
And as Optimus worked in his office, his mates, Scourge and Leobreaker, were going about the base. They were surprise by all the bots that Optimus had welcomed into the ranks, as well as how many of the other Autobots were very protective of the Prime. In fact, many Autobot, upon finding out that Scourge and Leobreaker had bonded the the Prime, made sure the animal bot pair knew that should they hurt the Prime deliberately, they would pay dearly. Only now did the pair see just how much Optimus was loved and respected by his fellow bot. They knew that they would have to keep this in mind now that the had bonded to the beloved Prime.
Meanwhile, unable to concentrate on his data pads any longer, Optimus begrudgingly went to the med bay. He also felt dizzy and was feeling a bit off kilter. He figured that he needed to get the dizziness checked out, as it could be something serious, and so head trudged to the med bay. Red alert was surprised to see Optimus come alone. "Something I can help you with, Prime?" Red asked.
"Yes, my systems are off and I am dizzy" Optimus stated, almost collapsing to the floor and would have had Red not caught the Prime.
"Alright, up on the berth" Red stated. Optimus did as asked. Red scanned, as he had a hunch what he might find, and he was correct. "Well, congratulations are in order. You are sparked." Optimus' optics grew wide at that and then he passed out. He wasn't quite expecting this. Well, he had been told heat was a time to get sparked, but he figured it would t happen the first time. How wrong he had been.
After another hour or so passed, Optimus finally came to. He had to find his mates. He wasn't sure how they felt about this. Regardless, he was keeping the sparklings whether they wanted to or not. He headed for his quarters and commed his mates, this was not going to be an easy discussion. He just hoped that they would still accept him - and the sparklings.
