Optimus walked in to the medbay and smiled softly at his bonded. He and Ratchet had talked about having another sparkling, but after what had happened to Prowl… They didn't know if their sparks could handle seeing a second creation fall like Prowl had. When they found out from Jazz about Prowl being on the streets…
Well Optimus had taken it in stride and had to hold his team, family and personal family together. Ratchet on the other hand hadn't taken it so well. He was crushed. He had become more cold and with no soul to be seen, he would throw anything he got his servos on. He didn't care who or what he hit. It was his way of dealing with the sparkache.
Then one day Jazz had come in to the medbay with the news about this bot he had saved and this bot was going to join the autobots. When Ratchet found out the bot Jazz was talking about was his creation he had found himself smiling for the first time in a long time.
But to stop rumors from going around the base; Ratchet, Optimus and Prowl had to keep the fact that they were related, a secret. Ratchet and Optimus owed a great deal to Jazz.
"Hey hot stuff." "It still amazes me that you know that it is me when that door opens." Ratchet laughed. "To start, I am your bonded and I can feel you. Second off I am a medic so I can instantly scan for who is near me and if I do a detailed scan I can tell what needs to be do-"
Optimus had pulled Ratchet into a kiss. "How long will it be before you know?" Ratchet looked up innocently. "Know what?" He hummed and Optimus laughed. "You are hard to resist when you sound like that and you know exactly what I mean."
Ratchet smiled. Ratchet had an idea of what Prime was talking about but wanted to hear him say it. "How long before you know if the sparkling you are carrying is a femme or a mech?" Ratchet smiled softly and put his servo gently on his chest plates he could feel his sparkling growing.
"And if I said I wanted to keep it a surprise?" Optimus sighed softly, not wanting to upset Ratchet. He leaned down a bit and kissed his chest plates. "I love you both, no matter what the outcome is."
Optimus bowed and turned to leave. He almost got to the medbay doors before the medic cracked. "Optimus?" He stopped and turned to look at his bonded. "Yes Ratchet?" The medic smiled at little before continuing.
"SHE is going to be just fine." Optimus felt his spark skip a beat. "We are having a femme?" Ratchet nodded. Prime smiled and pulled his bonded in to a hug and kissed him. "She will be perfect." Ratchet nuzzled his bonded's chestplates.
"So how do we tell Prowl?" Optimus was confused. "What does Prowl have to do with this?" Optimus didn't have the time to open his mouth and fix his mistake before there was a loud CLANG in the medbay. "OW! Ratchet that hurt!" "That is what you get for asking such a stupid question." Ratchet muttered as he half glared at his beloved.
"I got lost in the moment and didn't think my question through. I was too wrapped up in the fact that we were going to have a sparkling, a femme sparkling, that it didn't clue into me that Prowl is going to have a little sister." Ratchet nodded.
"You still, technically, haven't answered my question. How are we going to tell Prowl?" Optimus thought for a moment. "Leave it to me." Ratchet nodded and went back to work. Prime smiled at his beloved before turning away and leaving the medbay.
He decided now was the best time to tell Prowl about him having a sibling. He knocked on the door and walked in when it opened for him. "Hey Pro-" Optimus stopped when he saw something out of the corner of his optic. Prowl looked up to see what had his sire so quiet. He laughed a little when he noticed what his sire was looking at. Jazz was deep in recharge, curled up in a chair next to SIC with his helm in the SIC's lap.
"He asked if we could spend some time together tonight and I told him when I was done we could. He asked if he could recharge in here while I finished working. He isn't in my way so I have no problem with it. So aside from all of this… What can I help you with?"
"Your carrier and I have something important to tell you." Prowl stayed quiet and let his sire finish. "In little over 2 decacycles you are going to have a sister." Prowl tried to keep himself from crashing. "Carrier is carrying a femme?"
Optimus nodded. Prowl couldn't handle it and slid to the floor with a thud. The sudden movements woke Jazz up and he growled when the first thing he saw was Prowl out cold on the floor. He gave the Prime a bit of a dirty look. "What did you do to him?" "I told him something important." "What is so important that it made him crash?"
"He is going to have a little sister in a little over two decacycles." "Ratchet is carrying?" Optimus nodded. Jazz smiled. "Congratulations, sir. Tell Ratchet I say the same, sir." Optimus nodded and pointed to Prowl. Jazz smiled again. "Don't worry. I will deal with him." Optimus nodded and smiled before leaving the office.
Jazz poked Prowl and smiled a little. Prowl slowly came back online and looked up at Jazz. "You look so cute doing that." "Doing what?" Prowl sat up slowly and shifted himself so he could kiss Jazz through the arm of the chair. Prowl kissed him and Jazz wanted to melt. "Now I get it. You are talking about me poking my helm through the arm of the chair." The SIC laughed and nodded.
"So do you think you can remind me why I am on the floor?" "Optimus came in and told you that Ratchet was carrying." Prowl thought for a moment. "I can't believe I am going to have a sibling." Jazz sat up in the chair and looked down at Prowl.
"I can't believe that Optimus is your sire and that Ratchet is your carrier." Prowl sighed. "Do you think less of me?" Jazz sat on the floor next to his bonded and place his servos on the tactician and gently pulled his helm so that they locked optics.
"Why would I think less of you? So your carrier is a wrench welding medic and your sire is a Prime, that doesn't bother me at all. I can see that they care for you greatly. I am bonded to you until we join Primus. I love you for who you are and if I were to dislike your parents then in the end I would dislike you, wouldn't I? But I don't dislike you and I don't like you either. In fact I am 1000% in love with you. Nothing will ever change that. Not even if your parents were Decepticons."
Prowl looked at Jazz with shock clear in his optics. "Really?" "Really. Fact is Prowl it doesn't really matter to me who your parents are. I am only interested in you. Oh! So Prowler how long is it going to take before I can openly call you lover without you getting mad at me?" Prowl kissed the saboteur's cheek.
"We will work on it AFTER I get use to you calling me Prowler, okay? Does that sound fair?" Jazz stood up and pulled Prowl with him. "ahh!" "What?" "I didn't expect you to pull me up with you. You surprised me." The TIC laughed. "Oh Prowler…" "Hmm?" "I love you!" The SIC laughed. "I love you too, Jazzy. I love you too."
Author's Note: OKAY! I am sorry that I didn't get this out faster and I want to let everyone who still reads this that THERE WILL BE MORE! Life has gotten in my way and I am still a little under the weather soooooo. I will write these out as soon as I can and post them as soon as they are done!
