Here is the final chapter. I'd like to add that I only own Starsong and Hopestar. Transformers belongs to Hasbro.

Enjoy!

Chapter 9: Peace At Last

The day that followed the Autobots winning against their enemy was a peaceful one as they all relaxed. The kids were enjoying some food that Agent Fowler and Nurse Darby cooked on the grill while the Autobots were enjoying some oil that Agent Fowler had asked his superiors to deliver. Starsong and Soundwave came out with their sons and Nightbeat behind them.

"Is there room for more?" asked Frenzy in an excited voice, making the others chuckle.

"Starsong, Soundwave. It is because of you two that we Autobots won the war," said Optimus Prime. "I thank you both and in gratitude, I hereby declare that Soundwave, Frenzy, and Rumble are now true Autobots."

"Alright!" Jack whooped and Miko and Raf echoed him as everyone else clapped. Soundwave stood before Optimus.

"Thank you, sir," he said. "For not only making my sons and I a part of the Autobots, but for keeping my sparkmate safe for all these years when I thought she was gone. I can't ever repay you for saving her."

Optimus smiled. "No payment is necessary, Soundwave," he said. "We are proud to have you as a part of the team."

Starsong then stood up and walked over to Optimus. "Prime, sir," she said. "Do you think there's room for another, perhaps?"

He nodded. "I believe so," he said. "Who do you have in mind?"

Starsong smiled and placed a hand on her stomach. "My sparkling," she said.

Soundwave smiled at his wife. "The boys have been asking for another sibling," he said.

She smiled at him. "And they'll get one, in about eight months," she said.

"That soon?" asked Soundwave. "But sweetheart, how do you…?"

He trailed off and took a step back, making Starsong giggle. "Yes, honey. I hope you got that blanket like I asked," she said.

June Darby put a hand over her mouth to keep from laughing aloud as Soundwave's faceplate fell from his face, revealing his shocked features. Even Miko was giggling into her hands.

After a few minutes, Soundwave seemed to have come back to Earth. "A new sparkling," he said softly before tripping over a crate of Energon and hitting the floor with the loudest crash they had all heard. June and Miko now burst into loud laughter as did Starsong while Nightbeat and Ratchet checked on the stunned Soundwave, who was smiling despite having a bit of a headache from falling down.

Jack and Raf chuckled a bit and smiled. "Congratulations, Starsong. And congrats to you, Soundwave," said Jack.

Frenzy and Rumble squealed with delight when they learned they were going to have a little sibling. "Can it be a little sister, Mama?" asked Frenzy.

Starsong laughed. "We'll see when it's time," she said.

"I could find out for you," Ratchet offered.

But the green and purple femme shook her head. "I want to be surprised," she said. "Like I was when I was giving birth to Frenzy and Rumble. I had no idea they were twins at the time until the doctor told me. Soundwave almost blew a fuse that time."

"Correction, you made me blow out three fuses, my love," Soundwave said lightly. "I still think you did that on purpose."

She punched him in the chest lightly and he let out a mock-gasp and pretended she had punched him hard, falling to one knee.

"GET DADDY!" Frenzy and Rumble yelled in unison before they dog-piled on their father, making him grunt in surprise and making everyone else laugh, especially when the boys started tickling their father, making him roar with laughter.

Frenzy, tickle your father's underarms, Starsong said through her bond to her sons.

Frenzy didn't hesitate as he passed the message to his brother and they both started tickling Soundwave's underarms and the whole base was shaking with the former 'Con's laughter and everyone else laughed at the heart-warming scene, especially when Soundwave caught his sons and tickled them back, making them happily squeal before they were worn out and Starsong picked up Rumble while Soundwave held Frenzy and then hugged his sparkmate, who rested her head on his shoulder as they hugged each other and their sons, making the others smile.

Eight months seemed like a flash as Starsong gave birth and Ratchet announced to the whole base that the new sparkling was a femme. Frenzy and Rumble cheered happily at having a baby sister and the Autobots were thrilled to have a little one join the family. They gathered around as Starsong held her sparkling and Soundwave hugged his wife before she handed the sparkling to him and he held her. "My daughter," he said, his voice cracking a little as he was a little overwhelmed, but happy. "Hopestar."

Starsong cocked an eyeridge. "Honey?" she asked.

He turned to her. "Hopestar, in remembrance that hope can survive," he said. "And 'Star' for you, Starsong, the song of my spark."

She smiled. "That is the perfect name for her," she said.

The other Autobots and the humans all echoed that agreement as Soundwave and Starsong kissed, feeling peace fill them. The others felt peace fill them too as the war was over and they could all live life to the fullest, especially the newest member of their family, Hopestar.
