Linley was working in the medbay when the doors swished open. "MA MA!" Linley felt shock run through her as she turned around and saw Hacks holding their sparklings. "Did she just-"
"Yes."
"But she is only a few groons old!"
"True. But think about the kind of vocabulary that you had at her age."
Linley nodded and held her arms open. "Hailee, come see mama." She laughed and smiled as she took Hailee from her mate. "Were they good?"
"Of course! But they wanted to see you and so did I."
"How are you feeling?"
"When I catch my breath, I'll let you know."
"That bad?"
"No. But it has been…. Busy around here."
Hacks raised an optic brow. "What are you talking about?"
"You didn't get any of my messages or comms?"
The hacker shook his helm. "No. A friend of mine asked for some help and I hadn't heard from you so I assumed that you were still with Ratchet and Jemma. So I took Hailee and Tamara with me. I just got back last night. So I thought I would come and see you this morning."
Linley nodded. "Grand-carrier?"
The older medic poked his helm out of his office. "Everything okay?"
"Do you think you could watch these two for a few klicks?"
Ratchet came out of the office. "Of course."
Linley all but dragged her bonded in to a private room. She opened up her end of the bond and showed him everything that had happened over the last 10 joors.
By the end of it Hacks was clinging to his lover and refused to let go. "Sweetspark… I am so sorry that I wasn't here when you needed me."
After a few clicks Linley heard the med bay doors swish. "LINLEY!?"
She untangled herself from her bonded and left the private room. "LINLEY?"
"Sire?" The tactician spun around and pulled his creation into his arms.
"Are you okay?"
'What do you mean?"
"I felt your pain."
Linley nodded, clung to her sire and started to cry. The two of them slid to the floor and the SIC rocked them both gently. "Shh… It's okay Sweetspark."
:Prowl?:
:Yes, Jazz?:
:Are you okay? I can feel your pain and discomfort.:
:I felt Linley's pain so I came to find her. We are sitting on the med bay floor and she is in tears.:
:Do you need me to come?:
:Sure.:
:Okay. On my way.:
5 clicks later the med bay doors swished again. Linley looked up. "Carrier!" He rushed over to her and pulled her in to his arms. "Wait? Where's Kadin?"
"Optimus has him."
Linley nodded and held her creators close.
"Sweetspark… what has you in so much pain?"
The hacker decided to speak, knowing his bonded could not. "She just finished showing me what had happened over the last 10 joors. She was terrified that she was going to lose both of you. That is why she took the risk to save the sparkling. She knew she wouldn't have enough energy to even think about it."
The TIC and SIC held their daughter tighter. "It is going to be okay Sweetspark."
"Sire?"
"Yes, Linley?"
"Is Jemma still on base or did she leave?"
"As far as I know she is in the rec room."
Linley nodded and all three of them got off the med bay floor. "If you will excuse me…" She left the med bay and headed for the rec room. The rec room doors swished open. "Linley!" Amicus ran at her. She smiled and bent down and had her arms open for him. She picked him up and swung him around.
"Hey Amicus. I forgot to thank you for saving me out on the battle field."
"You are welcome, Linley."
"Thanks for not being mad."
She laughed and smiled. "I can't ever be mad at you for saving my life."
Jemma came over, holding Circe and Echo. "Amicus, can you take your sisters and go play?"
Linley put Amicus down and the young mech nodded. "Yes Carrier." Amicus took the servos of his siblings and went off to play.
"Thank you Linley. Prowl has told me what you have done for him, what you did for Jazz and he also told me what Amicus did for you. He also told me that Amicus wants to be trained by Jazz and I have agreed."
Linley nodded. "Wait... You agreed to let Jazz train him? But how… That is a long distance for him to travel every joor."
The femme smiled. "I've decided that it is time to move back here."
"Have you told Carrier yet?"
"Nope. I was waiting to tell you. I kinda wanted it to be a surprise for carrier."
"Well then, let's get started. To start, we need to sell your current home."
"I've already done that. That is why I am still here."
Well then let us go find you a new home.
After 4 cycles of looking they were finally able to find a new home.
Jemma told Linley the plan before she left.
"Where the slag are we going sweet spark?"
The SIC glared at his carrier.
Linley merely smiled and held the door to the building open for them. "I told you grand-carrier. We are going to meet some friends of mine."
The young medic knocked on the apartment door and waited a few klicks before entering. Jazz was holding Kadin and walked in with Prowl right behind him Optimus gave his bonded a light tap before the two of them entered. Linley went in last and closed the door behind her. "We're here."
Two little femmes came running out first and tackled Prime. "Echo? Circe?"
Then a mech came run out and tackled Prowl. "Amicus!"
Then Jemma came out smiling. "Jemma!" Ratchet tackled her. "What are you doing here?"
"Grand-carrier, these are the friends I was talking about."
Jemma smiled. "I'm here to stay carrier. This is my new home."
Ratchet held his creation tight. "Welcome home, Jemma, welcome home."
Linley left the med bay exhausted. With nothing to keep her busy she couldn't stop thinking about what had happened over the last 2 orns. She had shut her bonded out again. She sighed as she entered the loft that she and her bonded shared. "Hacks?"
"I'm in the berthroom."
Linley smiled and checked on her creations, finding that they were deep in recharge. She walked in to the master berthroom and smiled a little to see Hacks reading a data pad. "Hey."
The mech looked up from the data pad. "Hey. You feeling okay?"
She shook her helm. "No."
The mech put the data pad down and held his arms open for her. She felt the tears sting her optics as she moved toward the berth and became wrapped in her lover's arms. They sat there for almost a cycle before the young medic piped up. "I love you." She moved so that she was leaning over his frame.
The mech smiled a little. "I love you too."
"I… Will you help me to forget all this pain?"
The mech pulled her in to a kiss. "As long as you let me in."
She nodded. "I will."
"Good." Hacks flipped the two of them so that Linley was under him. "You ready?" She nodded.
He smiled and pulled her in for a kiss.
Author's Note: Okay! I hope you all enjoyed Chapter 30. I was hoping to have this chapter out 2-4 hours after Chapter 29, But I ended up falling asleep before I could post it! I hope you all can forgive me for being away so long and then falling asleep instead of posting Chapter 30. I am hoping to have Chapter 31 posted later today. Please R&R!
