June Bug 4
The second round was hot and fast, leaving them both panting and parched. Megatron offers to get them drinks. He figures it is the least he could do after she opened her home to him.
He returns with the pitcher of iced tea and a could glasses, just as she had advised only to find her missing? No, wait, actually she has wrapped herself up in the top bedcovering like a cocoon. He can't even see her head, only a nose sticking out. Is she ashamed of what they did or is this how she always sleeps.
"I have refreshments?" He pours a glass of tea, but she just mutters, so he scuttles it down and refills his glass plus pouring one for her setting it on the bed side. "Should I go sleep in the other berth?"
Even though her head is buried, he can read the shake of a negative movement. "Stay."
"Alright, if you insist."
After the second drink, he sets the glass down and slips under the remaining bedcovering on his side so he can face her. The cocoon rolls over and presses against him, so he drapes an arm over her, and they soon fall asleep.
~~
Sex was probably the best sleep aid he could ask for. As much as his brain was running around about what to do earlier, he just collapses and drifts off to another world with a comforting warm body in his arms.
He awakens the next morning to a delicious smell and that grumbling in his stomach again. After a quick rinse off in her shower, he goes back to Jack's room and figures out the clothing. Soft cotton undergarment, stiff jeans, and a soft plain grey t-shirt. His feet he doesn't care about right now considering her flooring is soft carpet.
The Warlord lets his nose be his guide back to the kitchen. June is wrapped in a simple gown that covers her from neck to calves also bare foot. Her hair is pulled back into a tidy pile on the top of her head.
"Hello," he lets her know of his presence.
She's not startled, but does turn her head away from the cooking device to give him a smile. It's funny, but it's the fist time she's seen him completely covered, and he looks rather handsome, even though he's all covered up. "Good morning, Megatron. How did you sleep?"
He comes to her side resting his hip to the counter. On their own, his fingers pluck a blue ball out of a bowl and play with it. It looks like a ball bearing, but it's slightly squishy. "Alright. Nothing too weird."
June picks up one of the blue-bearings and pokes it into his mouth. "Well that's a good thing."
Megatron rolls it around with his tongue until it disintegrates. He likes these and pops another in his mouth. He notices she doesn't say any more, as he nibbles another. "Are you alright?"
June doesn't look at him but does nod. That is not a satisfactory answer for him so he takes her chin making her face him. So she answers again. "Are the Decepticons going to be alright without their Leader? Aren't you worried about what they will do without you? Are they going to tear Jasper to shreds looking for you or worse, what will they do if they think you are dead?"
Megatron takes a deep breath dumping the rest of the blueberries back into the bowl. He's not angry, if anything it makes him strangely warm that she is concerned about his faction, who is an enemy to her son's faction.
"I was unconscious for almost a year. The Decepticons survived with Soundwave keeping Starscream in check. Now with Shockwave here as well, those two won't let Starscream get away with scrap. On top of that, I have faith in my spy and lead scientist who are also my friends that they have not considered me dead. I was planning to find a way to contact them today with the daylight upon us."
June gulps, "I'm sorry, Megatron, I shouldn't have underestimated your soldiers."
He gives her a rakish smile. "If there is one thing you blasted Autobots have taught me, is its not the soldiers you have to worry about, it's the friends. Friendship is rather tenacious."
"Oh you got that right!" She shakes her head. "Sometimes I want to strangle Jack for how much he risks for Arcee."
"Arcee is a lucky femme," he grabs for some more blueberries and watches June makes another waffle.
When she has a nice pile made, she ushers him to the table where he watches her prepare her own meal, and then makes his own.
"What of you? I'm surprised the Autobots aren't banging on your door and whisking you back to their base after being kidnapped by me."
"I already called Ratchet and informed him I have a killer migraine but no concussion so not to worry. I also called in to work and will take a night shift instead."
Megatron nearly drops his fork, "Y-you lied for me?"
June looks deep up to him and gives him a warm smile, "If you put me on the spot, I will deny it."
That leaves him chuckling and they continue with their breakfast.
Afterwards, June and Megatron know they have to get him back to his people. Once again he finds himself helping her clean up. "I need to be out of here before Arcee and Jack get back. I don't want you in trouble with the Autobots for harboring the enemy."
Her hand starts against his chest, but then slides down until both arms are wrapped around his waist. Instinct has his own wrapping around her shoulders until her head is resting against his heart. "I did not spend the night with an enemy."
"Please don't romanticize me, June." But it's only a very soft threat.
June beats a fist into the small of his back. "You bastard."
"Vixen," he digs long fingers into the back of her scalp.
Nothing much else gets done that day with them just taking comfort in arms that they have long needed. It's been so long since a man has respectfully made her feel alive. Megatron has never found a femme who has made it so hard for him to return to Nemesis. But here they are!
It's not just the love making, it's the cuddling, the small talks and just the comfort of each other's company. Once again they spend the night tangled together. June completely forgot to go to work.
In the morning after another shower and breakfast, they both know it's time to go. June presses her keys into his hands.
"Take my car, take Jack's GPS, and my phone. Go out into the desert but…please don't get yourself killed. If you need, Ratchet's number it's programmed into my phone and you can always call him for assistance."
"Are you going to be alright with the Autobots and work?"
"I've rarely missed work, so I have a good standing there with them. The Autobots probably will worry and fuss once Jack strangles them for letting me be in a trap, but nothing more. I'm a do-gooder."
Megatron cups her face with both of his hands giving her a very slow, long and passionate kiss. It's as if he's making love with his lips and tongue alone. June is soon whimpering and giving off soft wanton sounds.
He has to pull back pressing his forehead and nose to hers panting hard. "Oh frag, June, what are you doing to me?"
"You're the one that kidnapped me, remember?"
"Why did you rescue me? Why didn't you leave me to die?"
She slaps his rump, "Hey it's not every day a sexy man drops on your hood. I'd be an idiot not to snatch him up and run."
His eyes close and laughs warmly but doesn't move from this pressing connection they have. "Primus, June, Primus."
Her phone rings and she answers it. "Hey Jack? On your way back? Are you safe? Yeah I'm just fine."
A bit more of the conversation she has with Jack while still wrapped in Megatron's arms.
When she hangs up they know it's time to go. She gets Megatron into her car and a box beside him with the stuff she already said, plus food and water. "Please stay hydrated."
"I will, I promise, Nurse June," with a wicked wink.
She gives him a playful shove, and a final kiss. "You better let me know you are alright, or I will hunt you down and tell Soundwave on you. Or worse, Ratchet."
He grabs her chin through the open window. "I don't know if that is a threat or come on, but either way… I like it."
"Damn-it you are such a rogue."
This last kiss is very painful and full of longing, but then with the sound of a Arcee in the distance, June knows he has to go and pushes back from him. "Bye."
"Bye."
She watches him back out, and then pull down the street. Once he is out of sight, she heads back into the house and takes her purse upstairs. She needs to hide a few things before Jack gets home.
When Jack gets home, she explains to him and work that her purse was snatched when at the grocery store just after she talked to Jack. Her car was stolen, too.
She plays it off as just being another rough week, when her heart is just aching. Not only is she missing Megatron, but she's worried for him, too. He may never let her know he's alright, or he might. But there's no telling. The angst of waiting on Megatron is worse than waiting for news if her husband would come home or send her divorce papers in the mail.
Megatron heads out as far into the desert as he remembers. A few more land marks and with the help of the GPS, he eventually stumbles across one of his Energon mines. As a human he can't get too close to the Energon, but he can cause a problem that will need Shockwave's attention.
And so he sets to work using piece of the car, the phone and GPS to cause a break down of equipment. Now to wait.
He follows June's advice and eats and drinks the water provided. He doesn't have to wait too long for Shockwave to show up. As he inspect the problem, Shockwave is rather surprised to find a human sitting rather nonchalant on the broken piece of equipment eating an apple with a bottle of water at his side.
"Took you long enough, Shockwave. Now, get me back to my ship and back into my body."
Megatron could almost laugh at how bright the lone red optic goes and the antenna perk up so high they almost pitch forward. "Y-yes, erm, My Liege." He nearly forgets to bow.
Thankfully Shockwave and Soundwave already had Megatron's body in his lab, so when his human form returns, it doesn't take that long to get the Cybertronian back up and running.
With a violent shake, Megatron clenches his claws and returns to himself. "Now, what have I missed?"
A few days later, a silver car with a red bow on it's hood is left in her driveway. It's not a car that will stand out as something high end. Instead it is a safe, middle of the line car much to her taste. It's comfortable, and brand new. A tiny little iridescent silver-purple star hanging from the rear view mirror lets her know who it came from.
Jack thinks it's something the Autobots or Fowler has pulled off, but June knows that isn't the case at all. A final confirmation is when Megatron is back in his jet form creating havoc for Earth again. It's hard for her to pull off anger when Jack happens to 'accidentally' get knocked aside by Megatron before a Vehicon can land on him.
Megatron does not forget June, but it does take him a few weeks before he brings Soundwave and Shockwave into his private quarters to tell them it was June who whisked his human form from the destruction site. That she had mistaken him for a human prisoner, not realizing who he really was. But once he admitted who he really was, she aided in getting him back to the Decepticons.
For her assistance, there are 'no-kill' orders for both her a her son Jackson Darby. Both Soundwave and Shockwave agree to that.
Neither Shockwave or Soundwave are fools. They wouldn't be his top officers if they were. They know good and well, something else happened, but also respect their leader's privacy. After all, every mech is entitled to their own personal privacies as long as they don't interfere with their duties.
But there is just the slightest of changes in his EM field when the conversation of June comes up. They both decide on their own to be careful not to mention her around any others. The last thing they want is anyone else to figure out June means some thing more to the Warlord. Friend, confidant or more, they will not pry.
Megatron dismisses them knowing that they will say nothing and protect his confidentiality.
More weeks pass and June finds herself more exhausted than normal. She finds she has no desire for coffee in the morning any more either. More than that… she feels 'off.' It's not until the second month comes and goes and a pregnant patient comes into her ward that it hits her.
June takes a pregnancy test and sinks to the bathroom floor when it comes out positive. She sinks looks at her flat belly. Last time she was pregnant, she got married to the young man, this time he isn't even a man any more.
"Mom?! Hey, do we have any bread?" Jack calls up the stairs.
Jack! How is she going to explain this to Jack?
~~
Megatron finds an encrypted message from Soundwave in his personal messaging system one day. He opens it up and sees a black and white fuzzy image. It looks like some kind of radar imaging, but it makes no sense to him.
Then he sees Soundwave has highlighted certain information on the image.
June Darby
18 weeks, three days gestation.
Gestation? That means she is pregnant. He does the calculations of eighteen weeks and three days and finds that was the time he was with her.
Oh Primus!
