I won't bother with a long description here...
Chapter four- What do I tell my heart?
The twins were in the middle of a dual diaper change, when suddenly the two gorgeous men, who were in had been joking and teasing each other a moment before suddenly went stock still. Two pairs of ice blue eyes looked up and met.
Blue eyes lowered, gazing at the two fussing babies in front of them next.
Two sparks reached out to each other finding comfort the way they had since awareness had come into being, then reaching out again to connect with the two who had created them. Across town, this connection was the only thing keeping Ironhide from blowing a hole in the Medbay wall as a furious discussion took place between them.
"You better be fraggin sure about this Ratch."
"I've run every scan in existence Hide. I'm sorry."
"Easy Hide, stay cool."
If Ironhide's glare was a cannon, Jazz would have been blown to kingdom come.
"Stay... Cool?! STAY COOL?!"
"Ironhide. You will control your emotions. That's an order."
They all stopped as Optimus joined the conversation. He stood outside the door, not ready to enter yet and face what he had to do. He knew they expected him to fix this. The knowledge that he was about to let them down tore at his spark.
Sparkplug's tiny voice turned the tearing into outright shattering. "Stop it... Please."
Knowing that to be his cue, Optimus entered. He gently lay his massive hand on the Medbay table, allowing her to climb into it and held her comfortingly against his spark, gazing gently down at her.
"You already know what Ratchet is going to say, don't you little one?"
Tears welled up in her eyes as the greatest family anyone could ever ask for simply stared at her brokenly. She nodded.
Ironhide swore. Ratchet slammed a tool down, much harder then she intended. The only one not reacting, was Jazz, his face blissfully hidden by his visor. Optimus offered a small, comforting smile. He knew his role. He would not fail her.
"We are here, Sparks. Forever and always."
With a shuddering breath, she let it out, starting with a choked whimper. In an instant, they were there in holo-form, arms around her. Looking at the comforting faces surrounding her, she knew Primus had been right. Everything would be ok.
All that was left was to do as Primus had said. She would live to the fullest and be ready when the time came to say goodbye and move on.
Author note: Yes, this chapter is painfully short. However, it's the end of the prologue to the rest of the story. More is coming! Keep reading.
