"I'm pregnant," said Override placing her hands on her belly that had began to back up her words.

"Well welcome to the club," smiled Thunderblast as she wrapped her arm around her shoulder. "So what is it, boy or girl?"

"I don't know," said Override.

"Well let's get going in preparing your place for the little one," smiled Thunderblast as she took Override with her to shop for sparkling things for both herself and Override.

Thunderblast was about the same amount along with her pregnancy and so she related to Override very well and she vowed she'd help this new mother out seeing she had already the experience with her firstborn.

"Override had been secretly wed to him for reasons we don't know yet," said Optimus as he spoke to the high counsel about Override carrying the future Prime.

"This is very good news indeed Optimus Prime," they said relieved the line of Primes had not died out with Hot Shot. "When should she be expecting the child?"

"It's due in seven months," said Optimus.

"Well," they said pondering their thoughts. "We have to make sure everything goes perfectly fine with the pregnancy. We don't want Hot Shot's case to happen all over again Optimus, so we want Override to move into your place seeing she is your daughter-in-law and everything. One reason is so that you can watch her all the time and make sure she shows no signs of an early pregnancy."

"But Override has her own home. Surely you cannot expect her to leave that?" asked Optimus.

"She had no choice," they said. "She married into the Primes and so she must live with them. What else did she expect?"

"I see," sighed Optimus bowing her head. "When she and Thunderblast come back from their check-ups I'll tell her."

"Let it be so Optimus," they said as he left. "For this child is the last of the Primes."

"So was Hot Shot," mumbled Optimus to himself so they couldn't hear him as he left their room.

"Well, it seems you two ladies are just fine with your children. They are actually due the same day and so we shall see how that goes," said Red Alert talking to Thunderblast and Override.

"That is going to be soooo cute," giggled Thunderblast as she looked at Override. "They're going to be like twins!"

"Oh joy," sighed Override rolling her optics away from Thunderblast so she couldn't see.

"Speaking of that," said Red Alert handing Thunderblast a piece of paper. "Congratulation Thunderblast, you're going to have twins."

"Wha . . . twins?!" gasped Thunderblast gazing at the results for the twin test.

"Wow, nice job Thunderblast," smiled Override.

Thunderblast was still a little too much of shock and surprise to gloat around and so she didn't know what to do or say. They had never seen Thunderblast like this before in her life. It was quite funny seeing her at a loss for words. They were glad for her, but they didn't exactly know what Jetfire would say.

"Did you find out what gender my sparkling is?" asked Override.

"No, not exactly," sighed Red Alert handing her her results of her tests. "There is a very good chance it is a daughter, but I can't be for sure. Your sparkling likes to move a lot . . . must take after its father."

Override just smiled and cast her optics down in sadness. She wished Hot Shot was there with her. Helping her through this time. Knowing that he was going to be a father.

Override wondered what Hot Shot would have been like when she told him. She knew he would have been the happiest bot alive, but he would never know now. Red Alert could tell Override's thoughts and so placed a comforting hand on her shoulder saying-

"Don't worry Override. I'm sure Hot Shot would have been just as proud about being a father."

At that Override just looked up at the doctor and smiled. She knew he was right, but she would have liked to see it for herself. She would have loved to have seen his face when she told him the news.

"Well you better be off," smiled Red Alert.

And so the two expecting mothers left they were greeted by Optimus Prime and Jetfire. They saw the looks on Thunderblast's face and it was shocking to see her shocked.

"What is wrong with you Thunderblast?!" asked Jetfire his wife's expressions scaring him a bit.

She then got over it and smiled one of the biggest smiles she smiled yet. She then looked at Jetfire and Jetfire didn't exactly like they way she looked at him.

"Thunderblast?" he asked backing away from her.

"Guess what Jetfire," she smiled a sly smile coming closer to him.

"What now?!" gulped Jetfire praying to the heavens she wouldn't hurt him.

"I'm having . . . twins!" she squealed jumping on him.

"Yea . . . well I can feel it," strained Jetfire feeling the extra pounds she and the 'babies' put on.

"Oh shut up," she giggled hugging his neck tight.

"Did you find out the gender of the baby Override?" asked Optimus looking at her.

"Red Alert said it is a good chance it's a girl," said Override. "But he said that he can't be for sure. It moves around too fast."

"Hm, just like Hot Shot when Elita carried him," smiled Optimus remembering his sparkling.

Override flinched a bit and Optimus wondered what was wrong. He soon found out it was nothing as Override placed a hand over her belly and said-

"But I don't know if a girl can kick this hard."

Optimus just chuckled a bit at seeing his grandchild kick and move around. His smile then vanished when the time came for him to tell Override what the high counsel ordered him to do.

"What is it sir?" she asked.

"Override," started Optimus looking at her. "The high counsel has ordered you to take up all your belongings and move in with me in my home."

"But why?" she asked not understanding.

"They want me to keep an optic on you. They want nothing to go wrong in the pregnancy."

"But you can't stop that if it does," protested Override.

"You can't change what they chose," said Optimus. "I'm sorry."

At that Optimus left Override alone and so Override had no choice but to go live in Optimus' home. Smokescreen and Evac had helped out in moving her things into Optimus' home. Override gazed at his home and found it to be very large. It was built right after his old home was burned down by the decepticons.

It was like a mansion the Prime home. If this was meant to be rebuilt like his old house than how did Hot Shot, as a child, stand all this room and space. This was one question Optimus could answer as they waited for Evac and Smokescreen putting all her belongings in her room a couple rooms away from Optimus' down the long hall.

"Well," started Optimus smiling a bit at the memories. "You see he didn't really much like it as well. He always wanted someone to play with and when I left his body guards with him when I went off to war he wanted to play with them, but they were military trained and not children proof and so he at many times would just run through out this place and just explore, but soon her knew everything and so only waited for me to come back to him."

Override just smiled and said-

"Do you think our sparkling will be like him?"

"I hope to be around more than I was with Hot Shot," smiled Optimus touching Override's hand and letting her know he would be there for her and the baby.

Override just smiled and placed her own hand on top of his and said-

"Thank-you sir."

"Please, call me Optimus," said Optimus. "After all I am your father-in-law and you my daughter-in-law."

"Sorry sir, I mean Optimus," she corrected herself.

"It will take some getting used to I know, but if Hot Shot had to get used to calling me father than so can you on calling me by my name," smiled Optimus.

Override just sighed. She knew these months of her pregnancy wasn't going to be easy, but looking into Optimus' caring optics she knew that he would always be there to help her . . . always. She was glad for that. She now understood why Hot Shot loved him so in being his father for indeed Optimus was a great father and would always be no matter how grand.

Through the months as she began to get bigger and her child began to kick harder she very much began to think it was a boy for if it was a girl then she was going to be very strong and tough. She would have to wait to find out though. it was very strange at finding herself to be an expecting mother. She had never thought of herself being a mother in her whole life . . . it was just racing . . . but now as her belly began to show her child she knew her whole life was her baby now.

She wanted him or her to be healthy and to have a normal pregnancy like the other femmes. She knew Hot Shot was born six months early and that it could happen to her baby since it happened to its father and so she prayed everything would go well.That was all she wanted just for her sparkling to be safe and well. As time passed by she came to her sixth month and this she feared the most because of Hot Shot and so that month she had to do check-ups every week to make sure the baby wasn't going to be like Hot Shot.

All feared the child would take after its father, but as that month passed into the seventh they were all relieved to know it wasn't true, but they still kept a close optic on her and the baby. The months were hard to get through as Override's hormones went crazy but what made it worse was Hot Shot was dead and so she kept having dreams of him and ever she wanted him to be alive. She would have dreams of him alive and it felt so real that she believed it. When she awoke she found it wasn't true and so she hated her dreams and wished never to dream again or sleep at that, but her baby made her tired and so she had no choice.

She also had dreams of Hot Shot being killed that one day when he usded the matrix upon himself. She remembered seeing this all so clear and ever she hated it. She could see herself in her dreams ans ever she wanted it to stop. She remembered the pain she felt when his spark vanished and passed away to its final resting place.

She would get so tired of her dreams and so one time she forced herself not to sleep and all knew this was going to be bad for the child and so they had Thunderblast take her out shopping for items for the baby to perhaps tire her out, but it didn't exactly work.

"I like this color," smiled Thunderblast holding up a pink color.

"Thunderblast, who said they're going to be girls?" asked Jetfire rolling his optics seeing that they might be boys.

"I can feel it," smiled Thunderblast. "And besides I deserve daughters after Jetstream."

"Hey there is nothing wrong with our son!" pointed Jetfire.

"Yea there is," she said looking at another shade of pink. "He's just like you. I'm just saying it would be nice to have some girls around the house like me."

"Primus have mercy upon us then," sighed Jetfire bowing his head.

"Oh shut up!" she growled at him.

"Whatever," sighed Jetfire trying to go look at some boy colors and perhaps save his boys some embarrassment like his first one who had to where girl colors till he was able to get some boy colors.

"Hey, where's Override?" asked Thunderblast looking around for her.

Override was looking around, but she was ever tired and sighed so much as she began to think this baby would never come. It had been about nine months already and she began to even wonder if she deserved on having this baby. She didn't even deserve Hot Shot and so Primus took him away from her. What is to stop Him from taking away the only thing she has left of Hot shot?

As she thought about this tears came to her optics and only made her cry even more at seeing her end up losing this child like Elita One almost lost Hot Shot if she didn't give her life instead. Override didn't want to die and neither did she want her child to do that same, but if she had to she would die for it. She would die for it if she could, but she never knew if that was possible. Things could happen to the baby . . . so many things . . . so many things that could go wrong.

They were way too much like the humans in this part. They could have complications just as much as the humans could. Override hated that. She wished nothing could ever happen to the small sparklings, but everything could and there was nothing she could do about it but pray to Primus to let her keep it.

"Hey Override," smiled Smokescreen as he came up to her in the store. "How are things going?"

"Fine I guess," shrugged Override.

Smokescreen saw she still looked just as beautiful as the day when he first saw her. No matter if she was pregnant or not. He smiled and said-

"You still look lovely you know."

At that Override shunned him away as if she didn't want anyone saying that to her.

"Oh I'm sorry," said Smokescreen seeing how much that hurt her.

"Please don't say that," said Override. "You remind me . . . of Hot Shot. He was so sweet to me and ever I loved him."

"I will not say anything nice to you again," said Smokescreen.

At that Override gave a small smile to him. She just shook her head and said-

"No, no. It's alright. It may be just the baby making me act this way, but thanks anyways for trying to cheer me up Smokescreen."

"If you need any help with anything, I'm always here for you," he said.

"I know," she toughed out a smile. "But for now I want to be left alone."

And so she left to go back home and just sit in her room thinking of many things . . . so many things. as the months passed by to where it was nearly time for the baby to come into the world Override began to have horrible dreams. Dreams that caused her to not want to sleep or to even think of the unthinkable to get them to stop . . . death. She didn't want to think this way and the others the same, but her dreams wouldn't stop torturing her and ever she hated it. She remembered Hot Shot telling her he had similar dreams such as these when Unicron tortured him all those years and so she feared something that might be true.

She feared that Unicron was not truly dead . . . she feared her baby was Unicron and if so what would she do? There was a way to get rid of it if she would die then so would it. But Override didn't know for sure if it was true. She feared that when she conceived her baby that a part of Unicron came with it . . . what would she do?

She was afraid so afraid. She was to the point where he dreams were no dubbed as nightmares and she could not sleep for it hurt her so much. She found herself crying herself awake just drowning in her tears. If her baby was Unicron how could she give life to the one who caused Hot Shot's life to get taken away.

As she touched her large belly she felt a very slight kick of her baby letting her know it was still there. Her tears were so much that she could not make them stop. She tried to think of happier things, but they only turned against her seeing only the dead body of Hot Shot. She just wanted to end everything.

She missed Hot Shot. She missed the feeling of his body against hers and so she only wanted him. But she knew she couldn't have him. He was gone and never would come back to her, never. She missed him so much.

She missed his smile, his baby blues, his caring fun voice, his soft touch on her. She missed everything. She missed him. She missed her husband and only love that would never know his own child.

She got up and traveled down the dark hall into Optimus' room just crying her optics out. Optimus awoke seeing his daughter-in-law like this he was so concerned.

"Override!" He said raising his head.

Override just ran to Optimus and crawled next to him just crying. Optimus was going to ask her what was wrong, but he knew she didn't want to talk right now. She just wanted to be held and comforted and she wanted Optimus to try and help. Optimus had to at least try for her.

"It's alright Override. It will all be alright," he said as he wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him.

Override just continued to cry as Optimus tried to comfort her. She was glad he was there holding her though. He was like a father to her and she was glad. Soon her tears began to fade and she began to sleep well.

Optimus didn't sleep that night though. All he did was watch Override sleep and in peace. He sighed and was glad she had finally calmed down. He smiled seeing her finally rest in peace.

All she needed was someone to hold her. Even though it was sort of awkward for Optimus had never held a femme in a long while especially one not his wife he wanted to help her and comfort her. She was like a daughter to him and so he would be like a father to her. He would do everything to help her and her baby.

And now time came for the child to be born.
