"Hhh, I can't believe she left me," sighed Meter happy that Roadflare was married, but sad that her best friend left her . . . with that annoying twin brother of hers. "Now that Exillimus and Roadflare are gone he's got no one to hang out with and so decided to pick on poor ole me! I can't stand him!"
"Well maybe he likes you?" suggested Linegar.
"Ha! Yea right!" scoffed Meter. "He just wants to kiss me since I'm the only femme he hasn't Primus I swear I will kill him one day!!"
"Just take it easy," said Linegar. "Why don't you just hire some one to do the job for you?"
"If you only," sighed Meter seeing her brother chuckle at something that wasn't so funny to her.
"Well I'd help you and all, but I have places to go and patients to attend to," said Linegar getting ready to leave.
"What can you possibly do that is more important than me?!" squeaked Meter.
"I honestly have no clue," said Linegar laughing and leaving.
"Some big brother you are!" she shouted back at him.
All she could do was sigh.
"When on cybertron is Roadflare gonna come back from her huneymoon?!" she sighed.
And so some months later Roadflare and Exillimus returned from their huneymoon. Right after they returned though Exillimus had no choice but to go back in battle for the decepticons forces had grown since he had went away and now they needed him back. He kissed his wife good-bye and headed out to the battles to aid his men. Once he was back the autobots had gotten the upper hand again.
Roadflare knew it would be many more months or even years till she'd see her husband again. She was willing to wait though. She spent many a time with Meter. They talked about much like what happened when she was away and Meter only gave her the usual.
"Opensky would not leave me alone . . . AND STILL DOESN'T!" cried Meter.
"Well I'm sorry about that," said Roadflare. "But I need to move on too. I can't keep all optics on him all the time. Besides, I have my own someone to keep my optics on now," she smiled casting her gaze down.
"You mean Exillimus? But he's gone," said Meter.
"No," smiled Roadflare placing her hand on her stomach.
"Oh . . . OH!" gasped Meter finally understanding. "You're-!!"
Roadflare smiled and shook her head replying 'yes'.
"Oh my Primus!!" squealed Meter as she hugged Roadflare congratulations.
"I know!" squealed Roadflare so happy.
"So when's he or she dew?" asked Meter.
"I don't know yet, but I was hoping you'd run the tests," smiled Roadflare.
"Girl, it'd be my honor," smiled Meter.
"Great," smiled Roadflare.
"Does Exillimus know yet?" asked Meter curious.
"We found out when we were on our months long huneymoon," smiled Roadflare. "He was excited, but then again he does want to see our sparkling's birth and hopes he'll get leave when the time comes."
"Well by the way this war is going I'm sure he will," smiled Meter. "Now come on. Let's run those tests."
And so Meter took Roadflare to her office and ran those tests. When everything was done Meter came to her and told her all the results.
"Well?" she smiled waiting anxiously.
"Well," started Meter holding her clipboard full of the test results. "The sparkling is dew sometime next year and it was a little hard to make out, for either my equipment was glitching or either your sparkling was a little strange, but you are having a young little mech."
"Oh . . . he's going to be adorable," smiled Roadflare patting her belly. "Exillimus is going to be so proud he's having a son."
"Yea," said Meter. "I'm very happy for you."
"This is everything I've ever wanted," smiled Roadflare.
"What, to be married to the Prime and carrying his sparkling?" asked Meter.
"Yehes," giggled Roadflare. "You know what Meter you should think about settling down, I mean I know you don't like men that much put it's really a good life."
"So is being a doctor," smiled Meter. "This is all I ever want and nothing more. Raising a family just isn't for me. Sorry."
"Maybe a certain someone could change your mind," smiled Roadflare.
"I highly doubt that," said Meter.
"Hello girls!" smiled Opensky popping up out of nowhere. "Here's your certain someone Meter!"
"Like I said . . . I highly doubt that!" growled Meter very ready to attack him.
"I don't know what to do dad. He WON'T leave me alone till he gets what he wants!" cried Meter pacing back and forth trying to explain things to her father.
"Have you tried ignoring him daughter?" asked Red Alert.
"More than you imagine, but it just never seems to work. He is EVERYWHERE!!" said Meter. "I can't think and when I can't think I can't work! I am sooo stressed out I can't stand it!!"
"Well here, try this," said Red Alert giving her some stress relief medicine.
Meter took it and looked at it for a while reading everything. She looked and saw it had some nasty side effects and one in particular she didn't like too much.
"Um, but dad, but what about this side effect? I don't like it too much," she said showing him.
"Oh relax, that effect never works," said Red Alert. "You should be fine, and besides don't you want to be able to think for yourself again?"
"Yes," sighed Meter slumping her shoulders. "I'll take anything at this point."
And so Meter found the medicine worked. No matter what Opensky did or said she wasn't getting angry at him. She was totally calmed about everything. She thanked her father that it worked or that the nasty side effect didn't pop up.
Meter was going to be Roadflare's doctor in delivering her sparkling and she was very honored that she picked her. She was very excited in delivering her sparkling. It was what she looked forward to all year. Now it was only about some months away, that day all waited for.
She was so eased and relaxed everything seemed to not be real, but it was. Meter was happy now. She hadn't been that in a long while. All she had been was stressed out thanks to Opensky.
She was at her best now and no one was going to ruin that . . . hopefully.
"Meter I have my hands full and so you have to take Opensky's appointment," said Linegar.
"But you said you'd always take his!" complained Meter.
"What, is that stuff not working on you or are you just afraid of treating him?" asked Linegar.
"What?! No!" she scoffed. "It's just . . . I just took the medicine and I'm not sure if it started working yet."
"Just go," sighed Linegar walking off.
"Alright," slumped Meter going into her office.
As she walked in she saw Opensky sitting down just waiting for her. She knew he was doing this deliberately. She hated that and it just got on her nerves, but thank goodness the medicine started kicking in. It calmed her to easiness.
"Thank goodness," she sighed to herself feeling it kick in.
"Hey Meter, I'm ready for my check-up," smiled Opensky crossing his arms behind his head.
"Yea, yea, let's just get it over with," sighed Meter looking at his files. "Well you don't look hurt to me."
"I think there's something wrong with my optics," he smiled. "I've been seein' a whole lot of you lately."
"You've been stalking me that's why!" said Meter not amused. "Now just get out."
"You're not gonna check them?" asked Opensky. "But you're a doctor it's your job."
"Hhh, fine," sighed Meter rolling her optics and taking a device.
"And my lips too," he smiled opening his faceplate.
"I'll make something wrong with them if you don't shut up!" she growled holding a very sharp device up to his face.
As she looked at his optics she saw they were just fine and Opensky had just wasted more of her time.
"You are perfectly fine!" she said tired of him wasting her time with such stupid things. "You're free to-"
She was cut off on her sentence as Opensky made the quickest move he ever made on her and kissed her. When he pulled back he smiled finally getting what he wanted. Meter was ticked and so landed her hand right across his face. He was the rudest mech she ever knew how could she have not seen this.
"Opensky!!" she roared at him.
He just giggled to himself not really caring she was mad at him. He was satisfied.
"That makes you number 2,000," he smiled counting all the femmes he had kissed.
Meter then did something so unexpected to herself and even Opensky . . . it was the side effect she was worried of. She suddenly attacked Opensky kissing him deeply and passionately. When she let go all he could do was say two words-
"What the-?!"
She just smiled and readied to 'attack' him again. This scared Opensky a little and so backed up saying-
"Now, now Meter . . . you shouldn't, you shouldn't AHH!!"
She attacked him again and there was no escaping. He had never seen her act like this before and so wondered where his dear friend Meter had gone. This new one was scaring the scrap out of him. This was getting way to out of hand and he needed to get out of there.
"Help me AHHH!!!" he cried trying to get to the door.
Linegar had passed by his sister's office and could have sworn he heard something, but when he looked he didn't see anything strange through the small window on the door. He just shrugged his shoulders and continued on his way checking his files of patients.
"No, Stay Meter. Sta-AY!!" cried Opensky as she tackled him to the ground and made him kiss her.
After that whole 'incident' Meter tried to forget it even happened. She couldn't believe she had just done that with Opensky . . . oh anyone but Opensky! Well she did scare the scrap out of him, but now she just felt . . . she felt . . . she felt sick to her stomach that's what. She was going to puke, but stopped herself. What kind of side effect was that anyways?!
She looked at the medicine she took and it only made her more sick to even look at it. It was all THATS fault in the first place. She should have listened to her gut and dealt with Opensky the old fashioned way and now she, because of the medicine's side effect, she . . . She couldn't hold it in anymore. She let it all out in the sink and just felt miserable.
"I hate myself" she sighed to herself.
"Hey what's wrong sis?" asked Linegar coming to her seeing her sick mood.
"Just don't touch me," she gulped letting her fall down on the counter.
"How was your check-up with Opensky?" asked Linegar. "He didn't get to you did he?"
"No . . . I think I got to him," as she remembered it she let out some more in the sink, oh it was so gross.
"Well 'cause I saw him just leave and he looked a little dazed," said Linegar.
"Promise me!" gasped Meter grasping Linegar's collar armor. "You'll kill him for me . . . 'cause I don't feel good enough to do it right now."
"Why?" Asked Linegar.
"Just do i-" she then turned to the sink again and threw up.
"Do you want dad to give you some medicine for that sickness?" asked Linegar.
"NO!!" she snapped at him.
"O . . . kay," said Linegar feeling he should leave her alone right now.
It took Meter a long time till she could forget what happened that day . . . actually . . . she could never forget because of a certain something.
"No, no, no, no, no!" she gasped looking at all the tests she had in her hand trying to not believe it was true.
They all said positive. She was scared for her life . . . and for others things. She knew sometimes tests could be wrong and so she took many, many just to make sure . . . but they were all positive and she was the doctor! This was not happening, this was NOT happening . . . it couldn't be!
"Oh!" cried Meter covering her optics as tears started streaming down her cheeks. "Why me?! All I did was listen to my father and take that medicine with that stupid side effect!!"
She then collapsed on her bed and cried to herself saying-
"What am I gonna do?!"
The next day Meter tried to find some reasonable way to tell Raodflare, but couldn't find one. She tried to go to her and tell her, but found herself frozen with shear fear not knowing what she'd say or how she'd react. She couldn't breath and gasped in fear at everything. She was nothing but a coward.
When she finally forced herself to go to her she was eating lunch at a cafe. She came to her gasping in fear and just sat down starring at her. Roadflare took her attention off her bulging belly and looked at her friend seeing her strange mood. At first she thought she was just playing around with her, but when she saw the tears in her optics come falling down she was very concerned.
She stood up and reached over to take Meter by the shoulder and ask her-
"Meter what's wrong?!"
"Um, my dad . . ." started Meter sniffing in deeply. "He gave me some medicine to rid my stress. It worked, but . . . it had side effects. One in particular which I was afraid of."
"Meter what was it?!" asked Roadflare scared for her friend.
"Um I went to do your brother's daily check-up and um . . . the side effect kicked in . . ." She struggled with herself to say.
"Oh my Primus!" gasped Roadflare having to sit down and cover her mouth. "You bonded with my brother?!"
"I didn't mean to!" she squealed. "That's not even the half of it."
"No!" gasped Roadflare. "You got . . . you're not . . . you are?!!"
Meter shook her head replying 'yes'. Roadflare thought it was funny for a moment, but just hugged Meter trying to comfort her.
"Oh Meter!" said Roadflare trying to sympathize with her. "Don't worry we'll get through this together."
"It wasn't supposed to happen. I don't know how it did . . . okay I do, but I never wanted this. I was supposed to be your delivery doctor!" cried Meter. "How can I when I'm . . . pregnant myself?!"
"You know . . . this is the easy part," said Roadflare. "Now we have to tell our parents . . . that means your dad and . . . my brother."
"I'll take my dad and you can tell your brother," said Meter. "I don't really want to look at him right now. I can't even standing thinking about him and uhh, just doing it makes me sick."
"Come on," said Raodflare helping Meter back up. "Let's go for a walk and talk about this matter. Get our minds a rest before . . . you know."
"Okay," sniffed Meter going on that walk.
And so they talked about everything and about things to come. After this they knew it was time to tell everyone and so they did. Red Alert wasn't too happy and Linegar knew something was up with her by the way she acted after the . . . 'incident'. When Roadflare told her brother he was speechless and hated that his dirty little secret was now out in the open. Jetfire didn't help congratulating him for doing it on the first try . . . neither did their dear ole mother.
The families had to meet and talk about this matter and so when they did they each took turns talking to Meter and one time Opensky was left out in the living room with Red Alert. Both sat on the couch not saying a word. Opensky was scared to death for one thing is that he could kill him with that large cannon on his shoulder and he just always creeped him out in the first place . . . sort of like all doctors. He was very uncomfortable around him . . . or alone with him and wished they'd hurry up and get done talking with Meter and came and save him.
"So uh . . ." started Opensky uneasy about everything. "How'd you react?"
Opensky froze after he realized what he had just asked. What was he thinking?! He didn't want to know because he had a pretty well picture how he reacted. He just needed to shut up now!
"Uh, what I mean was do you mind, NO!, um you're gonna be a grandpa . . . daaaa!" Opensky should have just kept his mouth shut . . . or better yet . . . not have seen Meter for the check-up. "I'm shutting up now."
Opensky then shot his head up as Meter and the others came out to them. Red Alert and Opensky stood as all gazed at each other and said-
"We have talked it over and we know only one way to resolve this," said Jetfire.
Red Alert shook his head and sighed saying-
"They are going to have to officially wed."
Meter just looked at her soon-to-be husband and he just smiled nervously at her . . . not her first choice in picking a husband. She just bowed her head like she was used to doing that day. She felt so ashamed.
"This is all my fault," sighed Red Alert blaming himself. "I shouldn't have given you that medicine."
"Well it worked, but the side effect wasn't so great," sighed Meter casting her gaze away from Opensky and mostly everyone.
"Don't worry," smiled Jetfire throwing his arm around Red Alert. "Just look at the bright side of things. We're going to be in-laws!"
"I'm so excited," sighed Red Alert with sarcasm, he couldn't believe he actually was going to be related to him . . . why was Primus cursing him so?!
"I think we should have the wedding right away!" smiled Thunderblast.
"Now hold on," said Red Alert. "They need time to plan things. Like who to invite, when to have it, and where."
"Who needs time?" smiled Thunderblast at Jetfire. "We never worried about it."
"No . . . you never do," said Red Alert. "You always go too . . . fast."
"Hey what about YOUR daughter?!" asked Opensky tired of people thinking he caused this. "She attacked me!!"
"That makes no excuse!" glared Red Alert. "Now shut up before I blow your mouth right off!"
Opensky was backing away. They had to resolve this matter some way and so they let the expecting mother decide. Meter decided time was the best. She didn't want to wed Opensky just yet.
And so they honored her wish and took this wedding slow. In about three months she decided to have it and Roadflare was honored to be in her wedding. When they decided to have it was on a perfect day because even Exillimus got some time off to come and see it, though he never thought he'd see the day he still enjoyed it. Meter had began to show some bit since some months past and so she just wanted to get the whole thing over with.
Opensky was actually excited about getting married, even though he never thought he, himself, would actually get married. Oh well, he was going to enjoy it and Primus his bride was lovely. Red Alert walked her down the isle, but when it came time to let her go he couldn't . . . or wouldn't.
"Dad!" she murmured to him. "Let go!"
Red Alert was afraid of so many things, but once Meter got free he bowed his head and sighed . . . what was the worst that could happen right? . . . oh he shouldn't say that. For all he knew she could end up having a sparkling exactly like Jetfire and he did NOT want anymore of him. Opensky and Jetstream were already like him and they were ALL he could take. Primus he prayed it to be a daughter . . . but then . . . what if she turned out like her grandmother Thunderblast? What was he to do?
And so they said their vows and did all that was nessessary for their official wedding, but right after the kiss they had to cut it short as all jolted at the sound of a groaning Roadflare.
"Roadflare?" asked Meter seeing her crouch over in pain.
"He's coming!" she gasped.
"Oh my Primus. Get her to a doctor now!" gasped Exillimus.
"This way!" said Red Alert guiding him inside.
Exillimus took his wife in his arms and carried her inside so she could have a proper environment of having their child. Opensky just sighed as he soon followed after them-
"Hhh, there goes our wedding . . . hey I get to hold the little guys first!"
Hot Shot's girl: 3 more chaps to go. Sadly this story is coming to an end :( But anyways I hope you know that the test Meter took on Roadflare's sparkling wasn't 'exactly' true ;D See ya next chap and sorry it took so long. Next one should be up soon :)
