Okay another chapter up for everyone to read!



Meanwhile, Lizy stomped through the hallway toward one of the other rooms, just wanting to put some distance between herself and Prowl. She just wasn't ready to talk about anything yet, so why the hell couldn't everyone just leave her alone? Besides, she didn't need them playing watchdog over her, or bugging her whenever something seemed to be wrong. So long as she took care of herself by eating food and drinking her energon like a good girl, they had nothing to worry about.

Just then, Lizy felt herself get a strong craving, the same strong craving she'd been having over the past few days. Groaning, she marched off toward a specific room, knowing exactly what her system was telling her to get.

Lizy stood next to the energon dispenser nursing a glass of energon in her hand. Despite her not liking the stuff, for some reasons her systems were telling her that she needed energon. So now she stood standing drinking down the glass.

What she didn't notice was that she was being watched closely by a nosey medic.

Just as she finished gulping down the contents, and then began to refill the glass, she heard the sound of someone clearing their throat behind her back. She slowly turned and saw Ratchet standing there, wearing a curious expression on his features.

"Lizy, how many glasses have you drank today?" the medic asked.

"Uh…" Lizy looked away, staring at the dispenser. "I was just about to get my fourth glass," she finally answered.

Ratchet narrowed his optics at her, making Lizy slightly afraid of him. Then just as suddenly, she felt his scanners start to work over her body as he tried to detect what was wrong with her.

Ratchet scanned her over quite a few times, before finally stopping and a surprised expression came over his face. That surprised looked turned into one of anger. "How long of have you been pregnant?

For a moment, Lizy didn't react, as though she hadn't heard him. "What?" she said simply.

Ratchet growled. "I asked you how long you've been pregnant!" he snapped angrily.

His words sunk in then, and she stared at him, the glass slipping through her fingers and shattering on the floor as her eyes widened with shock. "Pregnant?!" she gasped. "WHAT?!"

Ratchet stared at her like she was pulling his servo or something. "Don't make me repeat myself. You are pregnant and I want to know how long you have been."

Lizy opened and closed her mouth a few times, trying to come up with an answer. "I didn't even know I was pregnant. Ratchet this isn't funny."

"Whose laughing, because I'm sure not," growled the medic.

Lizy's mouth was wide open and she seemed to be gasping for air. She slowly looked down at her midsection, then looked back up at Ratchet. "I'm really pregnant?" she said, almost timidly.

"YES," Ratchet said.

"OH MY GOD," Lizy screamed, backing up until her back was pressed against the wall. "IT CAN'T BE TRUE!"

"Lizy, do you mean to tell me that you didn't know?" asked Ratchet as she shook her head. He sighed before an idea came to him. "WHO THE FRAG HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING, IN ORDER TO GET YOURSELF PREGNANT."

Lizy felt herself drain of color, since she never told any of them about Zac what so ever.

Ratchet bent down so that he was closer to her eye level. "Who have you been seeing?" he demanded again. He'd gotten his tone more under control, but his optics were ablaze with anger.

Lizy gulped, and began opening and closing her mouth. She was having a hard time finding her voice, but she finally managed a simple sentence. "Zac. His name is Zac."

Ratchet pulled back, angrily. "Who is he?" the medic asked.

Lizy shook her head. "I don't know him completely, we just meet a few months ago. I swear."

Again he continued to look at her angrily. "What exactly are you going to tell Prowl?"

Oh god, she had completely forgotten about him. There was no way she was going to survive the wrath of her father. Actually she wasn't even sure what his reaction would be, when he found out.

Lizy turned away and buried her face into her hands, then pressed herself against the wall, as if trying to hide. "I can't tell him," she squeaked, and hated how she sounded.

Ratchet sighed. The medic was angry at her, but part of him couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her, too. Mostly at the prospect that she was going to have to tell Prowl sometime.

"And I thought Bumblebee did stupid things sometimes," he said out loud. "But even he wouldn't go out and…" Ratchet closed his mouth, simply shaking his head. "Well, I have a feeling you're going to get enough lectures before this is over, young lady," he said. He then extended his hand to her. "Get on. I'm going to take you to the infirmary to make sure you and the sparkling are alright. After all, I've never seen a pregnant techno-organic before."

Lizy remained quiet as Ratchet led the way to the med bay, although he was just as quiet too. She really didn't know how she was going to explain to the others and Prowl, how she got pregnant. In fact how was she going to explain this to Zac?

A groan escaped her as she tried to come up with ways of telling everyone, but at the moment she was still trying to wrap her mind around it. It just couldn't be true, it seemed very absurd at the moment. But then that would explain all the extra energon and food she had been consuming.

Once they were in the med bay, Ratchet set her down on one of the beds and told her to lay back. He then began to do a thorough scan on her systems, and on the baby inside of her.

After a few minutes passed, he finally said to her, "Well, it seems healthy, and it seems to be developing alright. And…" He double-checked the readouts on his scan, then blinked, perplexed. "It even has a spark of its very own… I wonder how that is possible, since you don't even have a spark." He narrowed his optics. "Unless Zac has a spark."

Lizy made no comment. It felt like her whole world had been turned upside-down. She just still couldn't believe any of this was happening. And WHY was it happening to her, anyway?

While Lizy was pondering away on what to do, Ratchet walked away from the girl and to the door of the med bay. There he opened a link to Prowl, whom answered right away. "Meet me at the med bay." he said before cutting the link.

It wasn't long before Prowl was right besides him, having come up as silent as possible. "You wanted to see me?" the ninja bot asked.

Ratchet nodded his head and inclined it into the med bay. "Lizy has something to say to you." With that he walked away, leaving them to deal with the situation at hand.

"Lizy?" Prowl said as he walked up beside the bed that his daughter was on.

At the sound of his voice, Lizy sat up as straight as an arrow and looked at him with widened eyes. He then noticed how pale her face looked, and he thought she looked absolutely frightened.

"Lizy, what is wrong?" Prowl asked her, moving closer to stand right next to the bed. When she didn't answer, he gently prodded by saying, "Ratchet said there was something you had to tell me."

Lizy looked towards where the medic had disappeared to, hoping to glare at him until he fell over dead. Curse the medic for opening his damn mouth and telling her father already. She wasn't ready to tell him yet, when she had only just found out herself.

Again she cursed the medic for his death, turning away from Prowl. Just how was she going to tell Prowl and what would his reaction be when she did tell him. This could only end badly.

Prowl was waiting silently and patiently, a frown having formed on his mouth. "Lizy," he finally said, "please just tell me what you have to say."

Lizy buried her face into her hands. "I can't," she said, her voice sounding somewhat muffled through her hands. "You'll hate me if I tell you."

Prowl placed a finger underneath her chin and lifted her head up to look at him. "Lizy, I promise not to hate you. I don't think I could ever hate you."

This only set her off as tears leaked down her eyes. "Yes you will. I don't even know what happened myself. I know your going to hate me because I never told you what had been happening and now I don't even know what to do."

Prowl stared at the hysterical girl, wondering what exactly she was talking about. It was not like her to just blurt things out like that. It usually took him a good deal of coaxing to even get some things out of her.

"Just tell me, please," Prowl said, "and whatever it is, we'll work through it together."

Lizy squeezed her eyes shut, scooting away from Prowl's finger, and gritted her teeth. She looked like she was in pain. Then, after taking a deep breath, she practically spit the words out in a rush, as though wanting to say them before she lost her nerve. "I'm pregnant."

Prowl pulled back away from his daughter, running that simple sentence through his processor over and over again. He felt like his whole CPU was going to crash. The simple sentence just seemed completely illogical. There could just be no way that what she had said was true.

"Lizy, this isn't funny," he said in a very stern voice.

"I'M NOT BEING FUNNY. DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M LAUGHING?" she yelled at him, the tears continuing to fall from her eyes.

He pulled back again, still trying to process the sentence in his mind again and again. There was something obviously wrong with him, or what she was saying was true. The only problem was, he was praying that it was the first thought.

For a few moments, his processor analyzed the data. His daughter had been very hesitant to say anything, and she'd even seemed frightened, worried that he would hate her. Now she was crying, and she looked angry, scared, and confused. This was obviously no joke, and a quick diagnostic of his systems told him that he was in perfect health.

So then… it had to be true. His daughter WAS pregnant.

He couldn't speak right away because his spark felt stunned and his processor felt numb at the news. Then a couple of new sensations began to break through the initial shock, and those were disappointment and anger.

Prowl's face went completely blank as he looked down at Lizy, who was trying to get her crying under control. "Who is the father," he spoke with disappointment in his voice.

Lizy flinched at hearing the disappointment, dropping her head sadly. "Zac," speaking softly.

"I want to talk to him," growled Prowl as he turned and walked out of the room, leaving her alone on the bed.
