Few Weeks Timeskip

Optimus looked up from a data pad. The twins crawled up onto Optimus' berth and sat on either side of him. Luna pressed her small servos to Optimus' abdomen.

"He's kicking again! Hi little brother. I'm your big sister Luna!"

Elita sat next to Nova and looked at Optimus. Optimus looked at Luna and smiled.

"He can hear me right mama?"

"Yes Luna." She squealed happily.

"I can't wait to be a big sister!"

"What are the final names Optimus?" asked Elita.

"Atlas, Apollo after his grandsire, and Orion by your suggestion Elita."

"Hmm. This is gonna be hard," said the pink femme.

-Later-

Optimus tucked Luna into her berth and kissed her helm.

"Good night sweetspark. Sweet dreams." Luna giggled and smiled.

"Night night mama. Night night little brother." Optimus smiled at her and patted her helm before moving to Nova's berth. She was on her side with her back turned to Optimus.

"Nova?" He gently sat down.

"What's wrong Sweetspark?"

"Nothing..."

"I know that something's wrong with you Nova. You can tell me. I'm your mother." She sniffled a bit and turned to him with oily tears running down her cheeks.

"I'm scared to be a big sister for him! I'm scared that he will hate me! I'm scared that I'll hurt him! I'm scared that sire will try to take my mind again and make me hurt him!" She collapsed against Optimus and sobbed. He gently wrapped his arms around her smaller frame and held her.

"He'll look up to you, his big sister, and he will love you. You won't hurt him and it has been months since the last time he has tried to take your mind." Nova sobbed. Optimus lifted her chin and smiled gently down at her.

"You will have to protect him as well as Luna and I know that may seem like a lot but I know you are capable because you are a wonderful big sister." She sniffled and looked at Optimus' abdomen.

"You promise mama?"

"I promise Nova." She hugged him and he held her close.

"M-Mama?"

"Yes Nova?" She stopped crying and looked down a bit.

"C-Can I feel? I never felt him kick..." Optimus smiled and nodded. Nova reached out her servo slightly and held it to her mother's protoform. They waited a few second before the sparkling kicked a few times.

"W-Wow!" She giggled softly and laid back down before yawned.

"You need rest now my dearest." He tucked her in gently and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Nova."

"I love you too mama."
