Lockdown
Oh yeah, this was nerve racking even to me. I was excited, but scared as well. I didn't think I had what it took to raise a kid. I'm centuries old and for all I know I could suck as a parent. I didn't wanna stress it in front of my mate or apprentice, so I kinda "Suffered" in silence. I mean, I was overjoyed about becoming a parent. There was just one thing that got to me: My Bounty Hunting. It would have to stop as soon as the twins were sparked.
I stood in front of my trophy case, facing the biggest decision of my life. I couldn't leave behind what I worked so hard to achieve. But I also couldn't forsake those I loved. Not for this at least. If it came between the ones who matter most and this, Shadow would always come first. A mech has to put his femme before himself. That was our law, given to us by Primus himself.
I sighed and had a feeling I was being watched. Then the weirdest thing happened. I heard a little voice in my head. Very strange stuff.
Hi the voice said.
"Uh…hi?" I replied, "Who are you?".
I'm Chamaeleon I guess. That's what mama calls me.
"Chamaeleon? Mama? Wait, are you Shadow Wing's?" I asked.
Yep, and yours too.
"Ha! I can't believe it. But how are you talking to me?".
Chamaeleon laughed a little. All little sparks can communicate with their parents telepathically until their voices work. It even works when we technically don't exist yet.
"Oh, didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. Hey wait a minute, is there a twin in there?".
Yeah, but he's in recharge. He's lazy, but he reminds me a lot of you with rough nature you know.
Okay, so we were gonna have identical looking, but two different personality kids. Okay, that was cool with me. I kinda liked Chamaeleon. He sounded almost like Shadow.
"Do you know what you're gonna look like yet?".
Nope, you gotta wait for that. Our bodies develop outside our mom. When we're removed when our sparks are fully functional, then we're put in a special place where our bodies can develop on their own.
Huh, so that's how that worked. Then I had to know something else.
"Will it hurt your mom, you know, you guys coming out?".
No, actually. If done right, she'll be knocked out.
"Kinda like a C-section, right?".
You're catching my drift, dad. Just don't be worried, okay? You'll make the right choice, I promise.
"How do you know?".
I just know things, I guess. You love mama very much, and you'll love us too, even though we're gonna be pains. Oh, and you'll meet up with some old allies too.
"Which ones?".
You'll see. Trust me, it's gonna rock! You'll love it.
"Does your mother know you're talking to me?".
Yeah, we talk to her a lot too. I'm trying to make her feel a little better about this. She's so scared one minute, but then brave the next. It's confusing.
"Yep, that's your mom".
I gotta go. I'll talk to you later. Can I?
"Well, yeah, I liked talking to you, Chamaeleon. Let's do it again sometime. Hey, if you need to talk to me about anything, just do it, okay?".
Sure thing, dad.
And then like that, he was gone. I felt like my head was clear now, like everything was gonna be okay. I wondered though, who were we gonna meet up with?
A/N: Who do you think it is? It's kinda obvious when you think about it. Tell me who you think in your review and I'll put it in the next few chapters. This is gonna get good eventually guys patience. Oh, and I see another pairing in the making.
