-later-

Ellie knelt beside the berth and Ratchet rubbed her back.

"I really don't feel good."

"I know," he mumbled. Ellie grabbed hold of Ratchet's arm and pulled herself up, collapsing in his arms. The medic held her close. Smokescreen walked in with Blue Spark leaning against him.

"Doc she's purging!"

"It's probably just leftover from her last treatments of Chemo."

"No it ain't Doc! This is different!" Ratchet gently set Ellie down on a berth and walked over to the two. Blue grasped her abdomen and groaned in pain. Smokescreen held her up. Ratchet scanned her and his optics widened.

"Smokescreen call Optimus."

"What's wrong?!" Ratchet picked her up and laid her onto a berth. She sobbed in pain.

"Just get Optimus!" Smokescreen ran out.

-Later-

Optimus crossed his arms and looked at the two in question. Blue held onto Smokescreen's arm that was around her.

"When did this happen?" The room was silent as Ratchet pulled up a scan of Blue Spark's abdomen. A small line was attached to a beating spark encased in a growing spark chamber. Smokescreen held Blue closer

"When were you going to tell us when you two bonded? When did you two bond?!"

"When we found a good time...We bonded after her treatments were done," said Smokescreen. Ratchet walked over to Optimus and gave him the reports.

"She's about 6 weeks sparked. The sparkling has transferred and if everything goes as planned she should deliver in approximately 7-8 months." Optimus nodded and looked at Smokescreen and Blue. Smokescreen was looking down at Blue and stroking a finger over her abdomen.

"Smokescreen."

"Yes Optimus?"

"Do you promise to take care of my sister and the sparkling you have created together?"

"Yes Sir! I love your sister and I will love and protect both of them with my life."

-A few Weeks later-

Ellie whimpered and walked into her and Ratchet's quarters. No one was there and she laid on her and Ratchet's berth. Ratchet came in a few minutes later carrying Jade in his right arm and Red in his left.

"Hey Sweetspark."

"Hi..." Ellie buried her helm under the pillows and blankets that were pilled around her helm.

"Are you ok Ellie?"

"Just nauseas." Ratchet laid the two on their berths and then laid down beside Ellie. He felt her helm and kissed it.

"You don't feel sick. You're not overheating." Ellie sighed and clung to him.

"I've been feeling like this forever."

"It's been 2 weeks. You're probably having some kind of cycle."

"You'd better not say a heat cycle."

"I didn't say that." The jade green femme rolled over onto her back and groaned.

"Ellie," he said as he wrapped an arm around her small frame and gently brought her close to his chest.

"Ratchet no." Ratchet laid his helm down near hers and kissed the top of her helm. She rolled back to her back and kissed him.

"I love you Ellie."

"I love you too Ratchet." Ratchet stroked and traced circles into her hip. Ellie curled up under the blanket and fell into recharge.

"Goodnight sweetsparks." He wrapped his arm around her middle and stroked it gently.

-A few Weeks Later-

The alarm went off in the base and everyone looked up.

"What's going on Ratchet?"

"The Decepticons! All of them! They're attacking Jasper again!" Optimus put down Nova and Luna.

"Bulkhead, Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Smokescreen, Arcee, Ratchet, Ironelle, Elita…get ready fight. Blue, please watch the sparklings." She nodded.

"Ratchet open the groundbridge." Ratchet set the coordinates and opened the groundbridge.

"Autobots! Transform and roll out!" They all transformed and rolled out of the base.

-Later-

Optimus fought desperately against Megatron. A small voice reaches Optimus' audios.

"Mommy." He looked over with wide optics.

"Luna, Nova!" Megatron smirked.

"How irresponsible of you Optimus. Bringing the children on the battle field." Megatron lunged for them and Optimus tackled him to the ground.

"Mommy!" yelled Luna. Optimus kept him down for a few seconds before Megatron flipped Optimus over and pinned him down. Luna started crying while Nova stayed emotionless. Megatron punched the blue and red mech in the abdomen and Optimus let out a whimper of pain as he tried to free himself.

Energon escaped Optimus' wounds and Luna cried harder.

"Luna...Nova...Run!"

"Mommy no!"

"Do not fear...my darlings...I'll...always be with you...G-GO! RUN!"

"Mommy!" Nova pulled Luna away. Optimus groaned and punched Megatron off.

"It's too late Optimus! Your pathetic Autobots will never stop the mighty Decepticons!" Optimus clutched the wound on his stomach and growled.

"As long as I still stand, The Autobots, Earth, everyone I protect, will stand!" They continued to fight.

-elsewhere on the Battle Field-

Three grenades were tossed at a large group of Vehicons. They all exploded. The three ex-wreckers laughed and bumped fists before they all ran off to blow up something else. Starscream was attacking Arcee and Ellie smirked.

"My mechs, I say we blow up Starscream." Both grinned as they ran over.

"Arcee get down!" The blue femme ducked as 3 grenades hit Starscream and he was blown in another direction. They all laughed.

Ratchet stabbed Knockout's shoulder and growls. Knockout cried out before smirking slightly and he quickly brought out his energon prod. Out of the corner of his optic Knockout saw the Autobot leader being thrown by Megatron. Ratchet saw it as well and gasped.

"Optimus!" Megatron brought down his sword and stabbed Optimus through the abdomen. The leader's cry of pain was heard all over the battlefield.

Knockout attacked Ellie. She fought back, slicing up his shoulder and cutting up his face. Knockout grabbed her waist.

"I'd frag you now but I think that you need to be more...loose." She growled and he picked her up before throwing her. She landed on her back and her helm hit the ground. Something shut off and her optics offlined.

"ELLIE!" yelled the 3 mechs.

Megatron watched and cackled as Optimus was slowly bleeding out. The Prime was weak and he tried to get up. Megatron punched him again and knocked him out. Optimus fell limp and Megatron grabbed him.

"Decepticons back to the ship!" Megatron threw Optimus over his shoulder and carried him.

The Autobots looked up and gasped.

"Optimus!" they all yelled.

-later-

Ratchet mended everyone. Both Luna and Nova clung to Elita. She held the two close. Ratchet kept scanning Ellie and tears were running down his cheeks. Several noticed.

"Doc?" murmured Wheeljack.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Tiny?" The other Autobots' optics fell on Ratchet.

"It's gone..."

"What's gone Doc?" Ratchets tears ran.

"The sparkling...It's gone..." Ratchet hit the wall and a few things that lined the tables shook.

"W-What? Tiny was sparked? And She was in the battle?!" Ratchet held his helm.

"That fragging stupid Decepticon medic! He threw her across the field!" Ratchet sobbed. Everyone was silent. They had lost so much...Optimus had been captured by the cons, Ellie's sparkling was gone, Nova and Luna had been hurt by shrapnel, Bulkhead had armor torn off his arm, Bumblebee had been shot in the arm, and Smokescreen had cuts from shrapnel. They had lost courage.
