Silverlight stared disbelieving at the data pad in front of her. "Sparkling?" The femme shot a glace up at Knockout. "If this is a prank, I'm going to frag you!" She growled. "I'm not pranking you... " Knockout said calmly. "And you are carrying a sparkling... You show all the signs; Sleeplessness, cravings... Heck, you've past out from exhaustion more than enough times... " The medic chuckled. Silverlight shoved the data pad into the red mech's stomach. "Scan me again! And get it right this time!" She growled. Knockout glared at the femme but said nothing as he scanned her once more.
"Rivertide... " Silverlight purred as she walked into their berthroom. "What is it, sweet energon?" The mech smiled as she walked up to him then he stroked her cheek. Silverlight gently laid across her mate's lap. "I'm carrying our sparkling!" The femme Seeker smiled wildly up at her mate. The mech stopped rubbing her cheek. "Sp – Sparkling?" Rivertide echoed her words. Silverlight nodded vigorously, her smile growing. "Are you sure... ?"
"Yes! I had Knockout scan me ten times!" The femme giggled. Rivertide got up and put his servos over his helm then let them fall back. "Are you sure?" He said in a firm tone. "Yes, I'm sure... " Silverlight looked at him as she slowly sat up. "Is something wrong, love?" She asked quietly. "'Wrong'? You're carrying a sparkli – " The mech stopped and shook his helm, walking for the door.
"R-Rivertide? Please tell me what's the matter... " The femme crawled toward him on the berth and stopped at the edge as her mate exited their room. "Rivertide!" She called out as she clumsily got off of their berth and slowly walked to the door. "Rivertide?" Silverlight looked down the halls; the mech was no where in sight. She walked out and followed her mate's tracks through their bond.
"Rivertide!" She said as she made it out to the flight deck. Rivertide turned to her in surprise as she came closer to him. "Love, what's wrong?" Silverlight asked. "That sparkling you carry... " The mech hissed. The femme Seeker stepped back at his voice and her wings lowered a bit. "What's wrong with having a family... " She let out a brief purr. "I've always wanted a sparkling... "
"Well, I did not!" Rivertide growled as he stepped closer to the edge of the ship. "Rivertide, this isn't you... " Silverlight walked toward him. "Oh, this is me, sweet energon... " The mech hissed and darkened his glare. "Please... " The Seekeress looked in his optics. "No!" The mech growled and jumped off the side of the ship, plummeting into the darkness. "RIVERTIDE!" Silverlight screeched as she ran toward the edge, fell down and reached out to her mate, her optics wide with shock. "R-Rivertide... "
You were fun while I had you... The mech spoke through the bond they had. R-Rivertide, please come back... Silverlight slowly stood up, her frame and wings shaking. The blue mech laughed. Why should I come back to you? You're such a fool, sweet energon... He hissed.
"RIVERTIDE!" Silverlight yelled as tears flowed down her face plates. "YOU GLITCH!" The femme collapsed and put her servo on her stomach.
"The sparkling will be here soon.. "
Knockout's words re-played in her mind. "Don't over do it... "
"Oh, my sparkling... "Silverlight panted. "Rivertide, you... used me... " She closed her optics and cried. "For your own pleasure... How could I be so stupid... ?"
Silverlight screamed in pain as she pushed. "I – I can't do this... " The femme let her helm fall to the side as sweat dripped from it."You've made it this far, Silverlight... " Knockout told her. "You can do it... "
"I can't!" The femme growled as her face twisted in pain. "There's nothing left in me!" Silverlight screamed as the pain shot through her frame and once more, out of grief and anger, pushed then slowly relaxed when she heard a faint cry.
"A mech... " Knockout said as he wrapped the little mechling up and give him to her. Silverlight sighed quietly and looked down at her son. "You shall be Novafall... " She said faintly.
