Alright, I know it's a VERY short chapter, but my muse is gone, and I haven't updated in a very long time. -Slaps self-

But anyways, I just wanted to tell you that I will be updated better chapters from now on, and I also have a new story coming at you soon after I get Obsessions Are For Fangirls finished, which hopefully won't take much longer.

I hope you enjoy this little tidbit. :)

Disclaimer; Sadly, I do not own the Transformers, just my OC's.

I walked slowly on my way towards my shared quarters, my mind on something other than where it should be. I thought back to the injured Cassetticon who was most likely in stasis, lying on a repair berth in the medical bay. 'Poor Ravage,' I silently mused. 'I shouldn't have left him so soon.' Continuing the think about the cat-former, I was oblivious to Starscream's own quizzical expression.

That's when the pain came.

I buckled over, taken by surprise by the little sparkling inside of me. 'I swear this thing is trying to- OW! –kill me from the inside!' I felt my legs carry me towards the nearest wall of the long corridor as I propped myself against it.

"Lightningfire…" Starscream walked to my side, initiating a scan on my body to make sure all was alright. That's when he found something unexpected. "…You…You're carrying."

"Duh, Mr. Obvious. Now just get me back to my room!" I snapped at the seeker.

Starscream ignored my command, only giving me a stern gaze. "Why didn't you say anything?"

I huffed irritably, "Because it-" I hissed, again, as I felt another kick from the sparkling, "-it's none of your business."

It was only a matter of time before the red and white seeker grabbed onto my arm, hauling me away from the wall. He tucked me into his side, his left arm positioned around my waist… almost protectively.

"I told you to leave me alone."

"I don't care."

I fell silent at his sudden change of tone, my optics averting to his wing, which was hovering mere centimeters from my head. I winced as slight tremors of pain laced up my abdomen, but it didn't hurt as much as the optics that were bearing down on me. Shift change' I concluded. 'Great. Just what I wanted… more Primus damned attention.'

Starscream's pace quickened as we reached the personal quarters of the higher-ups. He stopped in front of a door, looking down at me expectantly.

I reached my hand out to the keypad, locking in the numbers for the room. The keypad beeped softly, allowing me access to my quarters, as well as Starscream.

"What are you doing?" I huffed angrily, immediately walking towards the nursery, despite the faint pain still gnawing its way throughout my frame.

"Making sure you go straight to bed, where you should be heading right now. Your other sparkling will be fine." Starscream watched as I picked up a recharging Scarlet into my arms, rubbing the femme sparkling's back soothingly.

"I'm not leaving my sparkling to be unattended while she's about to come out of recharge."

Starscream frowned, but he felt his optics glued to the femme and her sparkling. He watched as I held onto Scarlet protectively, smiling and laughing softly as the little Transformer opened her optics, making soft whirs and beeps at the small being. The sight was adorable to say the least… and Starscream felt the familiar pang of loneliness in his war-hardened spark.

"I better get going," he said, interrupting the reunion between mother and sparkling.

I looked up, "Uh, right. Oh, wait!"

Starscream paused before leaving the room.

"Don't tell anyone."

Starscream gave me a silent nod before letting the metallic door hiss shut behind him.
