Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. Only Hasbro. I only own my characters. Glacier belongs to Optimus' girl.

Optimus invented rather fast, agony ripping through his body. Megatron sat behind his bondmate, supporting his body as Ratchet spread Optimus' legs. Knock Out looked over from getting supplies ready. He wasn't able to complete his training as a medic and have never helped deliver a sparkling, much less be in Ratchet's position.

Megatron had Optimus' legs hooked over his to keep them spread. Ratchet checked the valve dilation, nodding as his leader was ready. Optimus slightly arched, a scream ripping from his throat.

"Just like I told you Optimus," Ratchet instructed. "Deep vent and push."

Optimus gritted his denta, pushing as hard as he could. He could faintly hear Ratchet telling him what to do. The hours went by sluggishly for the Prime.

"She's almost here Prime. Give me one last push," Ratchet encouraged.

Optimus used up the last of his energy bringing his sparkling into the world. The loud wails brought the former commander's focus into mind. He looked to see Knock Out and Ratchet checking over and cleaning a light blue and white sparkling. He smiled at his daughter, optics flickering with exhaustion. He slumped, falling into recharge.

"Orion!"

"He's fine Megatron. His body is exhausted from sparking," Ratchet reassured. "Lay him down and come meet your daughter."

Megatron maneuvered around, getting off the berth and to the medics. Knock Out handed the squirmy sparkling over. Immediately, the sparkling calmed down, opening up her baby blue optics to stare up at her sire. Megatron cooed down, gigging as the tiny servos clenched and unclenched to him.

"Hello my little one," Megatron greeted.

"Have you two picked out a name?" Knock Out asked, looking up from the datapad he held.

"Her name is Glacier," Megatron said.

"Excellent. Now we shall leave you three be. Your sire protocols will be active and won't let anyone but a medic near for at least three weeks," said Ratchet. "They will calm down after that when they realize that there is no danger to you, Optimus, or Glacier. Feed her every 2-3 hours too. Optimus will remain in recharge for a while as he recovers and heals."

The two medics left the medibay, closing the door behind them. Megatron sat down in the chair next to the berth, opening his chestplates. He held the sparkling close to his feeding pouches, letting her instincts lead her to the nub to drink.

~~~years later

"Grandsire!"

Ratchet grunted as the tiny youngling slammed into his legs. He looked down at Glacier, patting her helm. His optics wondered over to see Optimus and Megatron walking over. Ratchet shifted in his chair, wincing as his ancient joints popped. With his old age, being the oldest living Cybertronian alive. It was nearing his time, his spark having troubles supporting itself. The medic had to be put onto life support.

"Grandsire guess what?" Glacier asked.

"What?" Ratchet asked.

"I got a new frame upgrade," Glacier said, twirling around. "I is a big femme now."

"Yes you are," Ratchet laughed. "Optimus, Megatron, it is always good to see you."

"As well as you old friend," Optimus said.

"We have a surprise for you," Megatron added in.

"Oh?"

Heavy pedesteps thudded to the small house. Ratchet looked to see Predaking come walking in, his servos cupped. The large Predacon bent down to Ratchet's level, opening his servos up to reveal a grown man laying down.

"Hey Ratch'," Raf greeted, his greying hair a slight mess.

"Rafael," Ratchet gasped. He took the human in his slightly shaky servo. "I was not expecting this."

"Well, it was supposed to be a surprise. I have some news for you," said Raf. He looked to Optimus and nodded. "I've told the others. Well except you and Predaking."

"Glacier, come with me sweetspark," Optimus said.

"Coming carrier," said Glacier.

Raf got comfortable. Predaking sat down near Ratchet and looked at the three large bots. Megatron knew he would have to calm Predaking down with the news. Ratchet did a quick scan of his sparkling, noting how his vitals were off.

"Rafael, what is wrong? Your vitals are different," Ratchet said.

"That's what I came to talk to you about. I don't have much time. I have what they call heart cancer. They say I got a week at most," said Raf.

"What?! Why do they not cure you?" Predaking demanded, snarling as Megatron put a warning servo on his shoulder.

"They tried their best, but there isn't really a cure for cancer," said Raf. "I wanted to spend what I had with you two."

"Then we shall make the best of it," said Ratchet.

~~~4 days later

Ratchet and Raf sat together on a cliff, staring off at the setting sun. Predaking had Ratchet leaning against his strong body, keeping a close optic on the two. Both of the former members of Team Prime started to fail in health. Ratchet stroked the tiny human's back lovingly.

"It's beautiful, isn't it Ratch'?" Raf asked.

"Indeed," the medic agreed. His optics started to droop and body becoming more lax. Predaking noticed and grew worried, silently comming the Prime to standby.

Raf fell asleep shortly before the sun completely disappeared, his breathing coming to a halt. Ratchet didn't even notice, he too, falling into recharge shortly after his human.

Predaking called in that he was coming in, carrying the two in his powerful arms. His spark filled with sorrow, but was glad that they were not suffering anymore. He knew that he would see them again when it was his turn. For now, he would live, live for the elder and human.

~~~000

Ratchet opened his optics, looking around at the paradise he woke up in. He remembered looking at the sun, Primus calling him, and then black.

"Ratchet!"

The medic looked to see his friends and loved ones from the war and before coming to greet him. Among them was his human sparkling, Rafael. The orange and white mech thanked Primus over and over again, running in a younger frame to join with his family. He scooped up Raf, nuzzling him. He would miss those he left behind, but they would be fine without him.

"I love you Rafael, my sparkling," Ratchet whispered.

"I love you too Ratch'," Raf said.
