This chapter features m-preg and giving birth if you don't like it don't read it. So this is basically Megatron giving berth, sorry not much else to say.
I do not own Transformers Prime as the show is owned by Hasbro.
Ch. 2: Birth
Megatron's optics went wide in shock as he just stared at the medic. His servos shook as he handed Megatron the image from the scanner. He blinked in surprise when he saw none other than two little circles of energy circling his own spark. One was a darker red than his own while the other was a bright blue.
"Two sparklings…twins." Megatron gasped. "No...no...this…this isn't possible." Megatron gasped, but only he knew how this had happened.
"Just a little experiment."
"Master…" Knockout said quietly.
"How far long?" Megatron dared to ask.
"Two months…since dragons are organic they have no need for protofroms." Knockout answered quickly.
"So it's not possible to determine if a mech or femme?" Megatron asked. Knockout only shook his helm no. "What about termination?"
"Not at this stage my Lord. It's actually more risky for you. There is no telling the damage it could do to your body." Knockout answered.
"How long would it take before termination is possible?"
"I'm sorry my Lord but another month." Knockout said nervously. Megatron sneered at the thought, another month with Magma's filth inside him. He snarled in frustration before standing. "I… have to ask…but who is the Sire?" Knockout whimpered.
"None of your concern." Megatron snapped before heading out. "Not a word to anyone Knockout!" He nearly shouted before leaving the medical bay. Needless to say he did not recharge well that night.

"Look my liege." Knockout said pointing to the monitor. Megatron did look at the screen and he saw a problem. There were two twin dragons nestled inside him, sleeping comfortably, but they didn't show any layers of metal being formed despite being inside Megatron's own body. Dragons were organic creatures and these two were no exception and Primus only knows how dragons came to be on Cybertron of all places. They sparklings seemed to be healthy and fine and Megatron couldn't help but look at them in wonder. It made him remember how back on Cybertron before the war he wanted to be a Creator. He had wanted to be a Sire.
"What are they?" He asked calmly.
"Both femmes my liege." Knockout answered. Femmes were rare as it was. Magma's tribe had only one femme, his bondmate, but she had perished years before. The only femme present with the autobots was named Arcee. The more he kept thinking about the more Megatron couldn't go through with termination.
He knew they would be powerful femmes. Magma was the breed of a Prime, which was the Alpha species of the dragons. He was an Alpha mech himself, with his large frame, his champion skills as a gladiator, and the leader of the decepticons. Two strong creators meant strong sparklings. It was only a matter of time when they would find if they lived up to their Sire's side of things.
"They're Magma's aren't they?" Knockout stated, making Megatron frown.
"And how would you know that?" Megatron nearly snapped.
"Well obviously they're dragons and Magma is the only dragon stupid enough to engage you head on." Knockout answered and it even made Megatron chuckle.
"True he is." Megatron agreed.
"So shall I proceed?" Knockout said.
"No."
"Wait…what?" Knockout said with his optics wide.
"I'm not terminating what is mine." Megatron stated firmly.
"But what would the troops…what would Starscream say?" Knockout asked cautiously.
"He doesn't need to know for the moment and I will inform Soundwave of the situation." Megatron answered calmly.
"What happens when…" He asked.
"Nobody will harm what is mine." Megatron growled at the medic making him back off.
"Of course my Liege, might I suggest a formula to help feed the sparklings?" Knockout said quickly.
"Go on."

Soundwave took the news rather calmly, but Megatron did notice a little shock in his body language. He couldn't blame him after all. Starscream was in no means told of the sparklings. He kept his distance on the field as Knockout "guided" him through the carrying cycle. He was rather reluctant to let Breakdown know, but since he was Knockout's assistant there was no way to avoid it, but he was sworn to secrecy. Due to his large frame he wouldn't show any signs that he was carrying. He was dreading and excited at the same time to wait for the day the sparklings emerged. Their color couldn't be determined on the monitors, but Megatron could feel they were a spirited bunch. One twin kept kicking at him every so often and the other just seemed to touch the inside of his chamber as if to soothe him in some way.
Soon Megatron's dread was answered when he arose one morning. He started to feel sharp pains in abdomen so he laid back down and took a few deep breaths to steady himself for the day. However, the pain continued throughout the day and soon it started to get worse. He ordered Starscream to take command and that he was not to be disturbed until he returned. The seeker gladly obliged as Megatron tried to make himself steady as he walked towards the med bay. He reached it just in time for an intense contraction that nearly set him to his knees.
"I think they're coming." Megatron gasped.
"Lock the door." Knockout ordered Breakdown before he helped Megatron onto the berth. He sat in an upright position and Knockout gave him some energon to calm his systems. Knockout took a quick scan and saw that one of the sparklings was moving into position. "You're right my Liege. It won't be long before the first femme emerges, Breakdown get the incubators ready." Knockout said. Megatron was surprised at how seriously the medic was taking this, but then again Knockout knew it would be his spark if anything happened to him or his sparklings under his care. Megatron grunted in disgust when he felt fluids drip out of his valve which he had no choice but to open. "It's just the chamber fluids, nothing more Master." Knockout explained kindly. "Do you need anything?" He asked cautiously.
"No." Megatron nearly growled back in pain. Knockout looked at the monitor again and the sparkling was in position.
"On the next contraction you have to push." Knockout stated. Megatron let out a shout of pain as he did as he was told. He felt the medic's servos on his abdomen he gently messaged it to help the sparkling emerge. "Breakdown bend him over." Knockout said. Megatron wanted to snarl at the former wrecker to back off, but the position did help him somewhat. He shouted again in pain as he felt something slippery between his legs, making him tremble slightly. "Keep going, she's almost out." Knockout said urgently. Megatron had no choice but to push again with a deep grunt before Knockout pulled the sparkling free. Breakdown released his grip and Megatron fell back on the berth breathing hard, but froze when he heard a small squeak. He looked up to see Knockout cleaning the first femme, who was squealing in protest.
He quickly handed her to Megatron as he gently touched her helm. Her eyes slowly opened to show her Sire's deep red eyes staring at her. Her body wasn't a dark a red as his, but she had the same color as Knockout. Her red wings were tightly folding onto her back that had tiny black spikes. She looked at Megatron curiously by tilting her head to the left and right. He stroked her chin, but she grabbed at his finger with little tiny claws before sniffing it. She licked it once before she rubbed against it and made a purring sound. When Megatron moved his finger again she bit at it, but didn't cause any damage as she didn't have any strong teeth yet.
"Lord Megatron, you have to bond with her." Knockout said quickly. He became nervous all over again as he opened his chest plates to the little dragon. She whimpered in curiosity before she looked at his red spark. Her own red spark glowed bright and easily accepted his energy in a bond.
Hello my sparkling. Megatron spoke through the bond making her look at him surprised. Phoenix is your name. She responded with another chirp and wagging her tail at him. The other two mechs chuckled quietly before Megatron handed her back to Knockout and she was put in the incubator. The instant she was placed down the sparkling yawned and lay down to sleep.
"Phoenix is her name." Megatron said outloud.
"Well placed Master." Breakdown spoke as Knockout scanned her over. "The other sparkling won't be out yet for a little while." Breakdown said as he saw the sparkling was hardly moving, making Megatron sigh in frustration.
"Little thing's probably grateful to have some more room." Knockout joked as Breakdown gave Megatron more energon.
"How is she?" Megatron spoke quietly.
"Doing well my liege, perfectly healthy with a strong bond. The energy sent her right to sleep." Knockout answered. Megatron looked down at his plating and rubbed his abdomen in anticipation. He wondered if the other femme would be the same way, but he secretly hoped she wasn't. He rubbed his side and flinched when the sparkling rubbed back as he was still sore from the contractions, but he knew the kind gesture.
"She feels you Master." Breakdown said amazed as he watched the sparkling on the screen. It had been too long since a sparkling was born naturally or had emerged from the Well of Allsparks. In a way he felt blessed to be giving birth to these two femmes. Back on Cybertron he had wanted at least one mech and one femme to raise, but that was another time with another mech. That was the past and now he had two femmes of his own to raise. He grunted when he felt the contractions start up again. It was a continuous dull throb and it made his whole body sore.
"She's coming master. It won't be long." Knockout said gently. To Megatron it was too long as the contractions were so painful by the time the sparkling was ready to emerge. "Now…push." Knockout said. Megatron shouted in pain as he did just that. He took a few deep breaths to steady his shaking body as Breakdown held a servo on his back. "Keep going." Knockout pleaded.
"I'M TRYING!" Megatron screamed as he pushed again. The next contraction hit him hard and fast and all he could do was scream as he tried to get the sparkling out. His breathing became labored again, but he didn't have time to rest. He gave out one final scream with tears of pain running down his face as he finally felt the sparkling leave his body. Breakdown immediately released his grip and checked Megatron's monitors as Knockout started to clean the sparkling. After several moments Megatron moaned in pain as he turned his helm to look at the medic. Fear rose in his spark as the sparkling wasn't crying.
"Come on baby." Knockout cooed as he kept cleaning. It was moving, which was a good sign before it let out a small whimper in protest. "There we are." Knockout said in relief. "Oh my." Knockout said amazed.
"What is it?" Megatron mumbled. He wanted to sound alert, but he was exhausted. Knockout didn't answer and handed the sparkling to Megatron. His optics widened in surprise as he realized he got his wish. The sparkling was small, but had the brightest blue optics he had ever seen on any dragon or autobot. Even Optimus Prime's optics were not as bright as her's. Her skin was bright blue traced with silver and her wings were silver traced with purple. Her spikes were a neutral black. He had to smile at her curious eyes as she slowly crawled up her chest and sniffed his face. She licked his neck cables and he had to chuckle at her tenderness. He traced the tips of his fingers down her back and she rolled onto her side and purred at the touch. She squeaked in surprise when he lifted her up and exposed his spark. Her spark glowed blue and the bond instantly formed.
Hello little one. Elisa, you shall be called Elisa. He spoke gently through the bond and he nearly jumped in surprise when she licked his spark in love. He closed his chestplates and the glowing stopped. Elisa stared at her Carrier for a moment before she gave out a gentle roar.
"Awwwwww." Both Knockout and Breakdown looked at Elisa with wide, cute, googly, optics, only to straighten up when Megatron glared at them. He pet Elisa for a few minutes, until she yawned. Knockout quickly took her and scanned her over in an incubator. Breakdown handed Megatron a cloth and flinched as he wiped off the fluids around his legs. Knockout did a quick check to make sure everything was alright before Megatron could finally lie down and slip into a peaceful recharge.

He didn't want to wake, but Megatron finally sat up with a loud groan. His valve and abdomen naturally hurt, but his spark felt different and he soon remembered why. He looked to his side and he saw his two sparklings sleeping peacefully in open incubators. He had to smile proudly at the sight. He didn't care that they were dragons and that Magma was their Sire. They were his and that was all that mattered.
"Afternoon my liege." Knockout said before handing him a cube of high grade. Megatron welcome it, but drank it slowly just in case. Phoenix woke up first and her head was poking up calling for her Carrier. Knockout quickly handed her over to Megatron where she playfully bit at his fingers. "I have to warn you Lord Megatron, Starscream is already getting nosy." Knockout stated.
"Of course he is." Megatron muttered bitterly.
"I have to strongly advise resting for at least two more days, maybe more, otherwise you could collapse from exhaustion." Knockout cautiously pleaded. Megatron only nodded silently as he looked at Phoenix. "By the way, you never said what the name of the little blue sparkling my liege."
"Elisa." Megatron answered.
"She's sleeping like…well a sparkling." Knockout said quietly. Phoenix chirped loudly and was looking at the cube of high grade next to Megatron. Knockout quickly handed Megatron a cube of formula for the sparkling, which she drank eagerly. He kept pulling the cube back so that she wouldn't choke and eventually she pushed it away because she was full. She laid down on her Carrier's lap and kept playing with his fingers and chirping loudly.
Rrrrooouuuunnnn
A small little roar was sounded so that everyone knew Elisa was awake. This time Breakdown reached for her and she sniffed his large chestplates before giving him a ticklish lick. Megatron pointed to his lap and Breakdown gently placed her down by her sister. The two sniffed each other before Elisa started lick at her sister's helm. Phoenix jumped on top of Elisa before nuzzling her helm against her back. After a few minutes, Elisa looked up at her Carrier and squeaked in delight. She licked at his stomach before he picked her up into his servos and he kissed her helm. She nuzzled her head against his own as he reached down with the other hand and scratched at Phoenix who rolled around and loved the sensation. Knockout handed Megatron the formula and Elisa drank it and finished off the cube.
"What in the pits of Kaon am I going to do with twins?" Megatron muttered.
"Raise them of course. I'd be more than happy to help my liege." Knockout said eagerly.
"You doctor?!" Megatron said curiously.
"Believe it or not, we've always been curious about sparklings." Breakdown added. He would have to keep this in mind for later.
"I need berths constructed for them. I should have thought about this sooner." Megatron muttered.
"Already taken care of my liege." Knockout said. He pointed to a corner and he saw two small little cribs already made. "Since you didn't think of it I did. I am a doctor after all." Knockout winked.

Standing up after giving birth was an agony all its own. Megatron never felt so stiff in his legs in his life, not even after a rough frag. It took him a while, but he finally managed to complete some warm up stretches and get some movement back in his legs. He held his two femmes in both arms and walked straight to the bridge as Knockout and Breakdown set up some things in his berth. The moment he walked in the door, Starscream took one look at the sparklings and gasped.
"Lord Megatron…what…what…what are those?" He stuttered amazed. Phoenix looked at the seeker with open curiosity, while Elisa looked around slowly.
"These Starscream are my daughters." Megatron stated. He had hoped the seeker would have fainted in surprise, but instead his jaw nearly unhinged and dropped to the floor. Soundwave came up to him and only nodded before looking over at the sparklings. Phoenix snapped at his fingers, but Elisa just stared at him. She licked at his thin fingers and he rubbed at her helm, which she gladly accepted with a purr. Once Starscream got over his shock, he cautiously walked forward and stared at the sparklings. Being a seeker, Starscream was actually the best kind of caretaker for a sparkling as a trine could look after one sparkling, but Starscream no longer had his trine. Not to mention he didn't trust the seeker anyway. "Phoenix is in red and Elisa is in blue. You would do well not hurt them at any time. Do you understand me Starscream?" Megatron growled.
"Yes master." Starscream said instantly. Elisa let out a little squeal and waved her hand in the air towards Starscream. He looked back at Megatron who gave a reluctant nod as Starscream held out a finger towards the blue dragon. She placed her small claws on the digit and licked at it gently. Phoenix didn't even pay attention to Starscream and was half asleep again. He cautiously started to pet Elisa and she rubbed against his touch and was purring.
"Hmmmph, I guess she likes you." Megatron muttered. "Here this!" He ordered making the drones look up. "Elisa and Phoenix are my femmes and NO ONE is going to hurt them. Is that understood?" He growled.
"Yes Lord Megatron." They said in unison before returning to their work.
"Magma is the Sire isn't he?" Starscream said cautiously. Megatron didn't answer before he turned around and let making the seeker look at Soundwave. "I'll take that as a yes."
Xxxxxxx
The first night was relatively easy as both femmes slept peacefully and so did Megatron. Knockout said he would be on bed rest for two days possibly more. He woke up in the early morning to Phoenix crying for food. He was surprised to see Elisa still sleeping. He feed Phoenix and placed her on the berth. She crawled around as he played with her for a little while. He heard scratching and looked up to see Elisa staring at him. He picked her up and fed her. Phoenix jumped on her again once she was on the berth and playfully bit at her. Elisa licked her face and she jumped back in surprise. Both of their tails were wagging as they played for a little bit and Megatron had to laugh. He knew from watching Phoenix that she had the potentially to be a good fighter. He wasn't sure about Elisa, but he didn't really care.
He was going to raise them no matter what.
Hope you enjoyed. There won't be any autobots for a while yet so don't get your hopes up this is a decepticon story after all. Please read and review! Thank you!
