Chapter Ten- Awakening
Despite Emma's sudden surge awake prematurely, which could mean only one thing … All Spark taking over momentarily. Apparently, she had fallen into a deep, healing, sleep that was dangerous for humans. Not that the girl got to dwell on that idea when suddenly Allie pushed upward towards consciousness. She knew that she shouldn't be doing this … but she had too.
It had to be slow, and she had to trick Ratchet's machines while doing so. She had used the shard to do what she needed to do, and slowly, had the sparks that came with the life-giving force of the All Spark pulsed through the small human's body. Emma's breathing became shallow as the transformation began, her heart fluttering, barely able to hold onto her life but managed. The transformation was difficult on Emma, but she managed to pull through to the last stages.
But, those last stages would take awhile to settle before she could possibly awaken. So…Allie wrapped Emma's essence protectively in her arms and cuddled her close, telling her about Cybertron, about the Autobots, the Decepticons, about everything. About how they lived, and why the All Spark was important. She also whispered secrets that had long been forgotten…then, released the girl so she could go back to her spot of guidance and mothering, though Allie had made a decision she could possibly never forgive herself for.
As Emma slowly went back to the world of the living, Allie thought about what she had done to her Silent Daughter. The one Child of hers that could survive what she had just done through pure will to remain with those she loved.
What would only feel like a few days to Emma's mind was in reality a month laying on the berth, only a shallow breath to and fro the only signs she was alive. It was during that month that Jazz healed to the point he was allowed restricted walks outside the base and was now about to get the riot act from Ratchet, as it was long overdue.
"Jazz, I need to talk to you about what happened the day you and Emma thoughtlessly snuck out! What were you thinking? You should have known better! It doesn't matter that she hadn't had an attack for awhile, it was stupid! It was entirely thoughtless and was actually beyond stupid! It was entirely-…" Ratchet began and Jazz's door wings shuddered slightly.
"I know," Jazz cut off softly, and Ratchet stopped.
He followed the gaze of the Second in Command who had been confined to the Medbay and his quarters most of the time. He only went outside when Ratchet cleared him, but he had toed the line for such privileges.
If Ratchet hadn't been trying to keep Emma from going offline, he would have noticed that Jazz wasn't entirely himself. "Well, I just saved up that perfectly good lecture for no reason," he growled out, and Jazz suddenly smiled.
"No…you can give it to Emma," Jazz snipped back.
"Don't be smart with me," Ratchet growled out, and Jazz smiled a little before slowly standing up.
He was still a little pained about moving about, but still decided to limp back to his quarters. He was in pain, in more then just one way, and he forced himself to move, until something jerked in his processors. He turned suddenly and rushed to Emma's side, crashing to his knees despite the crunching sound that came up to his audios from the action. He stared at her while Ratchet watched them, slightly surprised as Emma slowly stirred.
She began to move, and Trixie began to do something that could possibly resemble a dance. Ratchet could only be relieved. She was awake, after over a month of waiting, she was awake.
Emma slowly shifted, and then opened her eyes, which made Ratchet start back. Her eyes were a brilliant electric blue color, as if ever trapped in her eyes, as if forever channeling the All Spark, as if she could hold all the world's secrets right there. Then she slowly looked over at Jazz.
He didn't seem to notice, he had just gently collected her in his hands, despite the fact she could barely sit up. Ratchet had helped to make sure her muscles didn't become useless, but she was still tired. She slowly held up her hand, but Jazz shook his head a little. Emma could only smile in return before falling asleep.
Ratchet then realized that her eyes had never faded back down to their brown color like they usually did when they flared that electric blue color. He shook his head and sighed. "Put her back Jazz, I have to look her over. You can talk to her later. Get out!" he ordered and Jazz obeyed, being incredibly gentle with his human.
He would have taken time to be surprised, except he needed to see Emma now. Running a scan, he fell to sit on the berth in shock. 'Optimus, you need to come here…I doubt that the femmes don't know,' he called and waited.
Yes, Optimus was busy. But…
When Optimus walked through, all Ratchet said was, "We don't have to worry about losing the All Spark."
Optimus looked confused, until he saw the readings. The underlying part of her that was the All Spark had awoken, trapping her in this place for all of eternity. She wouldn't ever leave the Autobots, if given the choice…but she would leave her life behind.
"How?" the leader asked, but his optics never strayed from where Emma peacefully slept.
"I don't know," Ratchet answered, looking at her.
And he wished he did know, because, thanks to them, she would never be the same again.
Inside her mind, Emma had no idea that she was forever change, nor the fact that Allie had taken a shard of her former body to save Emma. She was ignorant of that side-effect of being with Allie.
"I'll be fine now, right?" the Child asked softly.
Allie looked up, her mismatched eyes taking in her Daughter. "Yes…yes, you will," the Mother answered.
