Chapter 3

The next day... Prowl took Jazz over to see Ratchet so he could check out his shoulder. Jazz was a bit happier, hoping it was healed so they could do what they wanted. Prowl smiled at him. Jazz smiled back as they entered Medbay. "Ratchet," Prowl started "we're here."

"Alright then, let's see that shoulder, Jazz." With that Ratchet started to scan Jazz's shoulder. "You've made a nice recovery."

Jazz and Prowl smiled. "Really?" Jazz said happily.

"Really. Be on your way."

"Ratchet..." Prowl started "There is something me and Jazz wanted to ask you."

"What?"

"...We..." Prowl started "Jazz and me..."

"We want a sparkling, Ratch." Jazz said with a smile.

Ratchet was silent for a moment before a big smirk crossed his faceplates. "About slaggin time." Prowl looked a bit surprised at this.

"You...you're really okay with this, doc bot?" Jazz asked.

"I remember when you were so dedicated to taking care of Prowl. As soon as you two got things back to normal here on Earth I was counting the days until you would take things to the next level."

"So...you can help us?" Prowl asked.

"Sure. I will. I need specifics first." Prowl and Jazz looked at each other.

"We'd better get busy, Prowler." He was dragged out of the room.

"I guess we'll see you later, Ratchet." Prowl said before he and Jazz was out of sight.

Meanwhile, Gadget was on her way to Perceptor's lab with some energon for both of them. She politely knocked on the door. "Percie... Percie I have some energon, hungry?"

"Come in." Gadget did so and sighed as she saw her mate tinkering away on a device.

"You didn't even hear me did you?"

"What?"

"I brought some energon for us both," she said with a big, happy smile.

"I'm not hungry right now. Come back later."

"...Percieeeeee..." she whined as she set the cubes down. "Pleaaaaseee...? Come take a break with me..." she cooed as she put her arms around him.

He sighed and put his tools and instruments down. "Alright... Anything to stop your pouting." Gadget nuzzled against him happily and let go. She set him in one of the few comfortable chairs in the laboratory and gave him his cube. She sat comfortably in his lap, enjoying her own. She cuddled into him between sips. Perceptor couldn't help but smile as he started his cube.

"See that wasn't so hard," she smiled.

"No, and I suppose I did need a break." He smiled at her and put his free arm around her. She smiled and put her arms around him as well. They cuddled as they finished their cubes. Gadget happily set the empty cube down and cuddled closer. She slowly started rubbing his hands and arm joints. "...Ooo, that feels good," sighed Perceptor as he discarded his own empty cube.

Gadget smiled and continued to do what she was doing. She slowly worked her way to his back and they were cuddling together before they knew it. "We should take this somewhere more private and a lot more spacious," smiled Gadget.

"I very much agree," Perceptor said as he kissed the gem on her wing chevron. He scooped her up with a squeak of delight and they left the lab.

In Jazz and Prowl's shared quarters, they were snuggling and bonding. "Hmmm...Jazz..." He smiled as he ran magnatized hands over Prowl's doorwings. Prowl moaned in pleasure. Jazz smiled, enjoying it as much as his bondmate. Jazz stopped and moved off of him. He moved beside him and tried to cuddle up. Prowl smiled and let his bondmate cuddle into him. He smirked a bit before rubbing Jazz's helm and ears. "I love you so much, Jazz."

"...Ditto..." was all he could muster as he nuzzled into the touch.

Prowl sighed and looked at Jazz. He looked up at the loss of touch. "We SHOULD get on with it." Jazz nodded and both cuddled close to each other, opening their chest plates. Prowl gently kiss Jazz as their sparks started to meet. Jazz kissed back, letting their sparks merge into one. Both their systems soon reached overload with the flood of passion. "...O-Oh Jazz..." Both cuddled close as they screamed each others' names, a small orb forming as Jazz's chest closed. Prowl's body was warning him to shut down before the overload got too dangerous. He pulled his now "pregnant" lover close and both feel into a much needed recharge. A few halls down, Gadget and Perceptor did the same.

The next day, both couples happily walked towards MedBay. Ratchet looked up when they entered. "Have I missed something?" he asked both curious and worried.

"Ratch..." Jazz started.

"Sir, Percie and I..."

"We both need sparklings," all four said in unison.

"Both of you?" All four nodded their heads. Ratchet was speechless, muttering inaudible phrases. Wheeljack just entered in with Melissa.

"What's going on?" Wheeljack asked.

"Oh good," smirked Ratchet. "You can help me," he said as he went over and put a hand on Wheeljack's shoulder.

"Is Gadget alright?" Melissa asked.

"She's just fine," Ratchet answered. "She's what you humans would call 'pregnant'."

Melissa looked surprised and quite happy. "Really? Oh Gadget congratulations!"

Jazz cleared his throat. "Oh yes, Jazz as well. He and Prowl decided to have one too."

"Thank you, Youngling," Gadget smiled.

"How is Jazz being 'pregnant' as well?" asked Melissa "Jazz is a guy and so is Prowl."

"Well..." started Ratchet.

"It's easy to explain. You humans have specific reproduction systems. Females carry the babies in a specific reproduction chamber. With us, either can. We don't have reproductive systems like yours, just spark chambers. Femmes are more fully equipped to house a spark orb, but if necessary a mech can as well." Wheeljack said with a smile. Ratchet sighed and crossed his arms.

"Next time let the specifically trained and educated MEDIC handle it?"

Melissa was quiet. "...Oh... Okay. Congratulations Jazz," she genki smiled.

"Thanks little lady." Jazz said with a smile.

"Alright, both 'mothers' on a berth," Ratchet said, getting down to business. Prowl helped Jazz onto one. Perceptor did the same for Gadget. Ratchet came over to Jazz and Prowl first. Melissa watched curiously as he ran a few scans on the slowly growing orb inside Jazz. It was nestled next to his spark with a small barrier around it instead of set aside in a seperate space.

"Well Ratchet?" Prowl asked.

"Both are doing nicely. Congratulations, it's a girl." Prowl looked a bit shock but very proud. Ratchet smiled at them before letting Jazz off the berth. He went over to Gadget as Wheeljack brought Melissa over to her.

Melissa gasped in awe when she saw a beautiful, purple colored orb nestled in a smaller compartment next to Gadget's spark. "...wow..." she whispered. Ratchet and Wheeljack just smiled as Ratchet carefully examined the spark and hers.

"You two also have a little femme." Gadget smiled up at her teacher and then at Perceptor.

"Awww our sparklings will be playmates." Jazz said with a smile.

"Yeah," smiled Wheeljack.

"Yea!" smiled Melissa. "We should throw a baby shower for the both of you."

Prowl looked confused. "A baby shower?"

"It's a human celebration for pregnant moms," she smiled. "It's a party and the moms are given gifts for the baby to use when it's born."

Jazz, who liked any party, looked happy. "Let's have one Prowler!" he said with a huge smile on his face.

Prowl laughed. "I don't think it's quite that type of party, Jazz."

"Awww please Prowler?" Jazz said and took out his secret weapon.

Melissa smiled. "Jack, take me to Sam and Mikeala. We'll need to make preparations right away and tell Optimus." Wheeljack nodded and started to walk out as Ratchet dismissed Gadget from the berth.

"Jackie... I need your help. Protoforms won't build themselves."

"Put that away," Prowl said. "I didn't say we COULDN'T have one... You're lucky I love you..." Wheeljack gently set Melissa on her feet and she raced off to spread the news. He smiled after her and went over to Ratchet.

"Thanks doc," smiled Jazz.

"We'll be back once you two are done, sir. Thanks."

"Both you take good care of yourselves and your orbs!"

"We'll make sure of it," smiled Prowl. Perceptor only nodded. Both couples left.

"Shall we?" smiled Wheeljack as he hugged Ratchet and cuddled against him a bit.

"Yeah..." smiled Ratchet. He kissed an ear fin before closing the MedBay doors so they could work and enjoy each other's company.

"A baby shower?" Optimus asked at bit confused when Melissa told him the plan.

"Or in your case, a sparkling shower." Melissa said with a smile.

"So how about it, Optimus?" asked Mikeala.

"I guess it won't hurt to have one." said Optimus.

"Come on Mikeala, we got work to do." Melissa said. She nodded and they went outside to Bumblebee and Sam.

"So?" Bumblebee asked "Did Optimus say it was okay?"

Melissa and Mikeala smiled with nods. "Alright then, let's go get supplies. This will be interesting," smiled Sam. Bumblebee bounced a little in excitement.

"Prowler..." Jazz started as he cuddled into his mate "What are we going to name her?"

"...I...I don't know..."

"You don't know?" Jazz asked "You had no idea what to name our soon to be here sparkling?"

"...Well...I... I want it to be special, not the first thing that comes to my processor."

Jazz smiled. "Oh I get ya Prowler." Prowl smiled back. The two smiled at each other snuggling.

Bumblebee drove the three teens into town playing happy tunes on his radio as they rode along. "So what do we need?" Sam asked.

"Streamers, balloons, baby decorations and gifts for them. Though, we'll need your help Bee. I don't know what Cybetronian sparklings need," said Melissa.

"Well..." Bumblebee thought. "They need bottles like human babies, only bigger. They need blankets for comfort as well as some warmth. Sometimes it takes a week or so for new sparklings to fully develop use of their laser core for body temperature. Let's see... Oh! Toys!" Bumblebee said with a "big smile" as he almost stopped dead. "I remembering having a lot. I had some favorites..."

"What about Autobot sized nursery blocks? You guys had to learn your alphabet didn't you?" asked Mikeala.

"Well sure we do."

"Alright then. Now we know what kind of gifts."

"How can we find things big enough?" Sam asked.

"We'll just have to make them," smiled Melissa.

"Yeah," laughed Mikeala. "I don't think any stores will sell nursery blocks with Cybertronian glyphs on them." Bumblebee smiled and parked as they pulled up to a party supply store.

"Okay Bee wait here while we go inside." Sam said.

He nodded and the group went inside. "Alright, gang. Melissa, color coordinated streamers matching Prowl, Jazz, Perceptor, and Gadget. Sam, you're on balloons. Try to get ones that have letters on them or stick on letters. I'll get some decorations that will work. Ready go!" said Mikeala. Bumblebee waited patiently, watching their antics from outside. The teens where running around the store grabbing everything they needed.

They came out with happy smiles and arms full of bags. "Alright, the party car is onto it's second stop!" Melissa said excitedly.

"And where is that?" Bumblebee asked he opened his trunk for his human friends to put the bags in.

"My specialty," Melissa smiled. "A craft and art supply store. They'll carry everything we need to make the gifts transformer sized," she almost squealed.

"How are you paying for all of this?"

"We're college kids, we have jobs," smiled Mikeala.

"...Oh..." Bumblebee said as they pulled into the parking lot of the store.

"Alright, Bee. You stay outside again. We'll be back with more things," smiled Melissa. Once inside, Melissa split them into groups and they all got the required materials for a few more decorations and supplies to make gifts.

Meanwhile, back at base, Perceptor and Gadget were cuddling happily about their new arrival as were Jazz and Prowl. Ratchet and Wheeljack worked on the sparkling bodies most of the time. There was no rush for a sparkling could be housed within it's creator for at least a few weeks if necessary. When they weren't working on the bodies, they were working on things the new parents would need. Optimus smiled a bit in his office. New life, more younglings would be great for the base. News of the soon arriving sparklings spread across the base. All the Autobots just couldn't wait to see the new arrivals. Bumblebee soon came back with the three teens. Ironhide came out to greet them. "So, you get everything you'll need?"

"Yep," Melissa smiled.

"Now, you and the others need to help distract our two wonderful couples so we can decorate," said Mikeala.

"I'll help you with that once I help the girls get all this stuff inside," offered Sam. Ironhide smiled a bit. Sam smiled back and then helped the girls clear out Bumblebee's trunk. Soon all the bags where out of the trunk and in the RecRoom. "Alright, Operation Stall the Couples is underway," said Sam as he turned to Ironhide. Both shared smirks and went to stall the four.

Bumblebee stayed with the girls to help them reach the high places to place streamers and balloons. "Here Bee, here's a few more," said Melissa as she gave him five more balloons in pretty pinks and whites. Bumblebee gently took the said balloons in his hand and gently started to pin them to the walls.

"It's looking pretty cool," smiled Mikeala as she placed some streamers.

"Yep, almost done decorating."

"But the one that will take the longest is the present making." Melissa nodded in agreement as she climbed up onto Bumblebee's shoulder to put up the last few streamers.

"There," Melissa smiled as she looked around. "Thanks for helping Bee," she said with a smile towards him.

"I wanted to. It was fun," he replied as he set her down.

"Now to the presents." Mikeala said.

"Yep," said Melissa as she pulled all the art supplies towards her. "Alright, we've got materials for nursery blocks, fabric for No Sew blankies, wrapping paper and boxes to put the presents in, and supplies for...SHOOT! I knew I forgot something. I need to give these two bags to Wheeljack. He'll be better at making Autobot sized Baby Monitors and Cribs. Be right back."

"Hurry back." said Mikeala. Melissa nodded.

She knocked on the Med Bay door. "Coming." came Wheeljack's voice. He stared at Melissa in confusion as he opened the door. "Is something the matter?"

"No," she smiled. "These are supplies for the Shower. There's parts for a baby monitor and cribs. I'd figure you'd be best at making those Autobot sized." Wheeljack smiled.

"Thanks," he said as he took the bags from her. "I'll get right to it. Ratchet's been doing most of the work anyway," he giggled.

"Jackie, what's going on?" Ratchet could be heard from inside.

"Nothing, Ratch. Just some supplies for a few things the new sparklings will need."

"Oh, alright then."

"Thanks, Miss Jackson," Wheeljack said with a smile.

"You're welcome. Bye."

"Awww come on Hide, I just want some energon. I'm energizing for two."

"Stay put. I'll get it for you."

"Hide...come on that's not fair."

"There's...stuff going on and I don't want you to endanger yourself or the sparkling. Stay, I'll go get it."

"The RecRoom can't be dangerous or Prowler wouldn't let me go."

"Sam's talking with him right now. He's explaining what's going on. It's not safe right now. Just let me get it. Besides, then you won't have to strain yourself and walk all that way."

"But Hide..."

"Just...let me go get it for you! It's not everyday I do something nice!" Jazz looked defeated but let Ironhide go anyway. Ironhide sighed in relief. "...That was close..." he muttered to himself.

Prowl was at his desk, listening to Sam trying to explain to him about the dangers of the RecRoom Jazz could be in. "Oh my, residue from one of Wheeljack's experiments? Then yes, I'm glad Ironhide stopped him."

"Yeah since he's kind of pregnant." said Sam "Don't want him or the sparkling to get hurt."

"Thank you for telling me," Prowl replied.

"No problem Prowl." Sam sighed in relief as he left. "Well, gotta go help the girls with something."

"Very well, Sam." He nodded and left back out into the Rec Room. Prowl watched a bit before going back to work.

"You two need any help?" Sam asked as he came over to the girls, working hard on the baby gifts.

Mikeala laughed a bit. "You came when the hardest things have been done."

"Oh...my bad..."

"It's okay," Melissa smiled. "You can help us wrap and use what's left over to make your own gift."

"Sure." Sam said. Mikeala still just laughed as he sat down with them. After a few last minute checks, the preparations were finally done. Ironhide and Sam were sent to get the two couples into the Rec Room.

"Oh, it's safe now?" Prowl asked.

"Yeah, it's safe now," said Sam. "You and Jazz can go to the Rec Room now. Come on."

Ironhide was helping Gadget get Perceptor out of his lab. "But I'm very busy." Perceptor said.
"Get out of the slaggin lab, Perceptor!" Ironhide threatened.

"A-Alright...I-I'm getting..."

"Come on Perceptor," smiled Gadget as she led him away from Ironhide's cannon. "There must be something fun going on in the Rec Room." She winked at Ironhide and he just smiled back, putting away his cannons.

Soon both soon to be parents were standing in front of the Rec Room doors. Ironhide and Sam opened the doors. All four sets of optics widened. "Primus..." Jazz said.

"Wow..." added Prowl.

"Aw, how sweet. Look at the nice Shower they're giving us, Percie," Gadget smiled. Perceptor smiled back at her.

The four took seats on the couches. "Okay, so, how do you do this Shower thing?" Perceptor asked.

"Well the soon to be moms get presents they can use for their babies." Mikeala explained with a smile.

"And we sit and talk about baby things," Melissa added. "...Oh...and sometimes there's food."

"Interesting." Perceptor said "We have nothing like that on Cybertron."

"You don't celebrate birthdays?"

"Creation Days, maybe." Prowl explained "But this "Shower" thing is nothing we ever had."

"Oh, okay. It's basically a party to celebrate the mom to be. And a reason to give them gifts they'll need once the baby's born," she smiled.

"Well I think that's a neat-oh idea." Jazz said with a huge grin.

Mikeala, Sam, and Melissa laughed. "I agree," said Gadget. "We should incorporate something like this into our time."

"I agree." Prowl said with a nod.

"Well, why don't we discuss possible names for the two little femmes?" Bumblebee smiled.

"Most of the times designations aren't given until after the sparkling is born." Perceptor said "Mostly when the sparklings start showing personalities and..."

"Percie..." Gadget whined playfully.

"Oh...alright. But it's true."

"Well, with humans we spend the whole nine months deciding on a name," said Mikeala.

"It doesn't have to do with personality at all," said Sam.

"Really?" Perceptor asked curious "I thought humans names meant something to their personalities as our names do."

"Yes and no. Great care is taken and the name is given with love, but the name is mostly decided before the baby's birth," smiled Melissa "Our names are chosen by our parents. It doesn't rely so much on our personality. We are who we are."

"Oh." The other Autobots nodded in understanding.

"Well..." started Gadget. "I was playing around with some names..."

"Oh? Lay them on us, Lil' Red." Jazz said.

She "blushed" a bit. "Well... I was thinking Rose, if she likes pink. Or Sapphire if she likes blue. I was also playing with the name SilverStream."

"All lovely names, dear," smiled Perceptor.

"What about Sky if she likes blue?" suggested Bumblebee.

"Hmm... Maybe..." Gadget said.

"What about you, Jazz?" asked Sam.

"We are still discussing it." Prowl said.

"Oh..." said Melissa.

"Well, let's get to gifts then," Mikeala said trying to fill the now awkward silence. Everyone nodded. Melissa smiled. Three sets of gifts were given to each couple to open. Jazz couldn't contain himself and started to open one.

"Awww, look at this Prowler." Jazz said with a smile. Prowl smiled a bit as Jazz held up a purple baby blanket with blue fringes on it.

"Ohh...how sweet," smiled Gadget. She looked at the gift pile and took the same shaped gift Jazz had grabbed.

"Oh, it's the same thing," said Perceptor as another a blanket with reversed coloring was opened. "Matching sets. Very nice of you," he smiled at the teens.

Melissa smiled. "Wait until you open the others," she said.

"You open one Prowler." Jazz said with a smile as he hands one to his mate.

This box was slightly bigger than the first one. "...Alright..." Prowl replied, taking it.

"Here Percie," smiled Gadget. "We should open them together if they're similar things."

"O-okay." Both mechs carefully tore away the wrapping paper and studied the contents of the gift.

Prowl slowly took out the contents out of the box. It was a large, white, fluffy crib pillow and a small, diamond quilted, white blanket. "What are these for?" he asked.

"Oh! So thoughtful," smiled Gadget. "I know what they are," she said as she looked at the same exact thing Perceptor was holding. "The pillow is to put in the bed for the sparkling to lay on or sleep with. The quilted blanket is what humans call a 'recieving blanket'. I think you put it over your shoulder?" she asked as she looked over at Mikeala and Melissa.

"Yeah, its for throw up when a baby's bottle doesn't agree with it," said Mikeala. Melissa nodded in agreement.

"So...after the sparkling has eaten it catches unprocessed energon?" Perceptor asked.

"Yes. You set the sparkling over your shoulder and help them digest their food. If more than burps come out..." Gadget replied.

"Oh. I see." Jazz smiled happily at all this. Prowl stared at the blanket for a moment, letting everyone's explanation sink in.

"...That's very thoughtful of you three."

Sam, Mikeala, and Melissa smiled. "Alright, let's both open this big box together," smiled Gadget.

"Sure thing." Jazz said with a huge smile. So both couples helped each other open the big box. Inside each box was a complete set of wooden nursery blocks with the entire Cybertronian alphabet on them. "Awww look at these, Prowler."

"Wow... Every block has a cybertronian glyph on all four sides. How did the three of you manage?"

"I helped." Bumblebee said with a smile.

"Thanks a lot, Bee," smiled Gadget. "It's very sweet. This way the sparklings can learn and play at the same time."

"That was the intention," smiled Mikeala. "Human children use the same method to learn our alphabet. I thought it'd be a good idea for the sparklings."

"That was very nice of you." Prowl said.

She smiled at him. "You're welcome."

"These gifts were very nice you three. Thank you for making them. And for the decorations," smiled Gadget.

"I suppose we should clean up the mess," suggested Perceptor.

"Yeah, good idea," said Melissa as she went over to help her guardian. "You can just keep everything nice in the bigger box for now." Mikeala and Sam took her example and helped clean up all the paper and empty gift boxes. As they cleared things up, footsteps and wheels across the floor reached their ears. Prowl looked towards the door. In came Wheeljack with two covered structures on rolling platforms.

"Wheeljack...what are you doing?" Prowl asked.

"Grandpa? What have you got there?" Gadget asked. Both couples stared confusedly at the CE. Melissa giggled.

"Something for each sparkling," Wheeljack smiled.

"It won't explode and hurt the sparklings will it?" Prowl asked.

"No! Of course not," laughed Wheeljack. He took off the covers and two perfectly crafted cribs were revealed.

"-gasp- Grandpa! Thanks so much! That's so wonderful of you," smiled Gadget as she carefully went over to the crib to inspect it.

"Yeah Jack." Jazz said with a smile "Real cool for ya man."

"It was Melissa's idea. She gave me a few of the parts." Said teen blushed.

Everyone just smiled. Prowl went over to examine the crib too. "Sparkling proof. The bars are made from the strongest cybertronian steel. There's also a small forcefield that can be put up between the bars should the sparklings try to escape out."

"You out did yourself, Wheeljack." Prowl said.

"Thanks," he replied with a blush in his ear fins.

Perceptor and Jazz made their way over to their respective cribs as well. "These are great Jack," smiled Jazz. "These will be perfect when the spar-..." A familiar alarm rang throughout the base.

"That doesn't sound good." Prowl said.

"Of all the times for an attack..." growled Gadget.

"Easy, dear. You're pregnant."

"Gadget, you should take saftey in your room."

"But Grandpa..."

"I agree with Perceptor on this one. I don't want anything to happen to you or her. Let us handle this. Melissa can keep you company," Wheeljack added with a smile.

"Jazz, you too." Prowl said.

"...Prowler... I want to go out and fight..." Jazz pouted.

"Jazz, you are with sparkling. I don't want you or our daughter to get hurt."

Jazz sighed in defeat as he headed back to their quarters. "I'll go with you," suggested Bumblebee. "I'll take you and Gadget back."

"We'll keep you company, Jazz," said Sam. Mikeala nodded.

"Alright then," Bumblebee started. "You three on my shoulders and we'll get the two 'mothers' to safety."

"Thank you Bee." Prowl said. He just smiled with a nod as Mikeala, Melissa, and Sam climbed up his arm and onto his shoulders.

"Alright, off we go." Bumblebee walked out of the Rec Room towards the living quarters with Jazz and Gadget following somewhat reluctantly. Prowl watched for a bit before heading to the command room.

Optimus paged every 'Bot he could. 'Bumblebee, where are you?'

'Escorting the humans and Gadget and Jazz to safety in the living quarters.'

Prowl finally got the command room. "What's the situation, Prime?" he asked.

"Starscream is at it again. He's got every Decepticon he can attacking the base."

"That's not good."

"No, it's not. My guess is he's trying to prove himself a good leader. And he's still holding that grudge against you."

Prowl got this serious look on his face. "I'm ready to smash some 'Cons." said Ironhide as he came into the room with some other Autobots with him.

Prowl nodded. "Alright, Autobots. Let's go," said Optimus.

"I'm coming too!" called Bumblebee as he returned from dropping off the others.

The group stopped and waited for Bumblebee to catch up to them. "Are they all safe, Bumblebee?" asked Prowl, voicing Optimus's concern.

"Yep."

"Good. Let's move!" They rushed out to the entrance of the base, ready to defend it and their loved ones inside.

"You won't win!" shouted Starscream. "Give it all you've got, Decepticons! Destroy them!"
