Okay…I know this is late. But I hope you still enjoy!

Small Bundle Of Joy

"You having any pain yet?" Grace asked smirking. She looked over at Sari who at the moment lay peacefully on a hospital bed. Ratchet had created a make shift area for the birth and Grace had to admit it looked just like any regular hospital room. Except there weren't any annoying nurses popping in every two minutes. Unless you counted Gwen. Sari shrugged her shoulders answering, "No…wait. What do you mean by yet?"

"Oh, you'll have pain! Trust me." Grace answered, giggling from Sari's reaction. Her best friend's eyebrows narrowed as she challenged "How do you know if I will?"

Grace couldn't help but roll her eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed and took a hold of Sari's right hand. Sari smiled as Grace acted like she was giving the worse news ever told to another human being.

"Every woman has pain during child birth. I used to job shadow at the hospital, remember?" Grace responded. She patted Sari on the shoulder adding

"All the woman who had a baby I saw had pain. LOTS of pain. Unless they asked for morphine…"

Sari shook her head quickly responding "No, I'm fine. I haven't even had a contracti…."

Suddenly Grace felt Sari tense up. Her pupils dilated to the size of quarters and jaw went to a tight ridge shape. Grace saw Sari's hand begin to tighten around hers. She tried pulling away but Sari seemed paralyzed. Grace grimaced as she held on tighter.

"Sari…" She asked cautiously. Sari didn't respond but only continued to breathe irregularly. Her mouth opened up where you could see all her teeth were tightly clenched. A hard moan escaped her mouth. Grace had a sharp pain shoot up her hand and arm. How had Sari become so strong? She began struggling from her best friend's grip saying

"Sari…your hurting my hand!"

Sari instead pulled her up by that one hand. Grace lay barely inches from her face and shuddered. Oh she knew that look. A Contraction had started. A BIG one. Sari glared daggers unto her best friend and hissed

"Get. Morphine. NOW!"

*In the Living Room*

Everyone stood around pacing and waiting as a familiar yellow bot came racing into the room. A few heads shot up to see his worried face glance quickly around the area.

"Is she okay?" Bumblebee franticly asked. He had come directly back to base after Optimus made the call that it was time. Luckily for Bumblebee, he never made it to get that chocolate ice cream and pickles. Gwen had come back out from the designated delivery room after Grace started watching her. She smiled gently to the worried bot.

"She's fine Bee."

Grace came out just then, oddly holding her left hand tenderly. She gave it one hard shake mouthing the word "Ouch!". Prowl gave her an odd look. She only pointed at the delivery room. This only confused everyone even more. Grace sighed, that's right; none of them had ever seen "The Change" women go through when giving birth. She smirked; this was going to be entertaining.

Bumblebee started to zoom past her when Grace suddenly blocked the entrance. He stared at her in bewilderment as she cautioned

"I wouldn't go in there if I were you!"

"Come on Grace, it can't be that bad!" Peter responded laughing. He stopped when Grace sent him a chilling stare. Unlike the normal Grace who everyone was used too, she calmly responded "Yes. It. Is."

Letting down her arms and stepping closer to Bumblebee she pointed up at him warning "The change has begun, Bee."

"What change?" Gwen challenged crossing her arms. Grace turned to her asking calmly

"You don't believe me?"

She waved out her arms wide and motioned to Sari's hospital room. Grace shrugged responding quietly "We'll go on in."

Bumblebee and a few the others started to the room. Each giving her an odd look. However Grace never looked back but added softly "But I will tell you this."

The others looked back at Grace unnaturally still. She cross her arms and raised one eyebrow. Her gaze followed past into the partial opened door and then back up at the group. Grace flicked on nod to where Sari lay now and responded

"The saying 'Hell have no fury like a woman scorned'? It's talking about women and natural child birth."

Grace parted her feet in a fighting stance, pointing to the delivery room. She had one eyebrow continuously raised as she stated

"You want to see hell on earth? Watch a women have natural child birth."

"Oh Grace…." Prowl responded sighing. But he stopped when Grace continued her icy stern stare. She flicked her finger around in a "crazy" motion adding

"Wanna see someone go completely insane? Let a women have natural child birth."

"I haven't heard stories that bad!" Gwen responded shaking her head. Grace began to laugh unexpectedly. She shook her head responding sarcastically

"Really? I had women once; I don't WHERE she got it, or WHO gave it too her, but when her husband made a 'funny' comment to ease her pain…."

Grace made what looked like a ball in her hands and mimicked a sharp throwing action will adding

"She took out a major league baseball and hit him unconscious!"

Grace pointed where Sentinal used to be. He had started gagging upon learning how humans give birth and exited the building for the time being. Grace laughed and called him a pansy. Gwen did too. Anyway, Grace held back her laughter, continuing

"Natural child birth is the perfect interrogation method! A woman will tell you everything you want to know about her or anyone she sees."

She shook her head and started laughing again. Everyone eyed her again but Grace calmed herself before explaining, with the movements,

"I had another woman, stand up in the stirrups, point her finger to the sky and scream that her parents were never married!"

Grace pointed at Bumblebee and shook her head sadly. She sighed cautioning

"And you think your safe boy? She will turn on you…."

"I think you might be exaggerating a little Grace…." Optimus lectured in his "father" like voice. Grace smirked at him and crossed her arms. After looking him up and down she suddenly spouted

"And I don't even recommend you stepping two feet from that room."

Optimus blinked in surprise and Peter mouthed dropped slightly seeing Grace talk back at OP. Gwen tried hiding her laughter by placing her hand over her face. It only made her face beat red. Grace marched ahead of the stunned crowd and warned

"You would be amazed how fast a civilized woman can turn into a wild savage!"

Grace spread her arms wide finishing sarcastically,

"All just by having Natural Child Birth!"

The bots looked at each other than back at Grace. She crossed her arms and nodded while leaning against a doorway. Bumblebee though, stood straighter, challenging "I don't believe you."

Grace casually opened her hand and motioned to Sari's room. She smiled and said sweetly "If you insist."

Bumblebee arched his eye brows at Grace acting so strange. But that was his bonded, he had to go in! It was like, a rule or something. Bumblebee walked past Grace and came into the delivery room. He changed into his hologram and came smiling into the room.

Sari was glaring.

At

Him.

If looks could kill, Bee would have been dead at the door. He backed up slightly seeing Sari not move. Just. Kept. Glaring. He shook off the chill running down his back and came up to her bedside. Bumblebee patted her shoulder rattling off "Any babies yet?"

Sari grabbed his hand, squeezing. Bumblebee winced. He tried pulling out but Sari held on tighter. A sharp yelp escaped him and he struggled harder. Sari let go but grabbed both his shoulders. With lightening reflexes she pulled him inches from her face and gritted her teeth hard. Bumblebee's hologram went pale. Sari breathed haggardly screaming

"YOU DID THIS TO ME!"

Bumblebee squealed pulling back. Sari held him in place as the others came in the room. Grace stayed back in the living room. She laughed her butt off upon hearing Bee scream like a girl all the way in there. The twins looked up frightened and that only made Grace laugh more. Optimus frowned at Sari saying

"I know you're in pain Sari but you shouldn't act…"

"OH shut up afthole! I am NOT in the mood for one of your speeches!" Sari snapped glaring at him. Grace hid her smile, choking back more laughter as she could picture both Peter and Prowlsters jaws drop to the floor. She had warned them. Sari glared daggers back at the wigging hologram of Bee hissing

"Now fix it!"

"I can't…" Bee whimpered. Sari glazed down at him in disgust, throwing him away. She hissed

"Then…."

*The Living Room*

Ratchet walked past with more supplies for the delivery. He glanced to see Grace leaning against a doorway, filing her nails. She looked up and smiled at him, then went back to work. He eyed her but she only shrugged her shoulders. Suddenly a high pitched scream of "GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!" sent a tumbling display of mechs and human organic came reeling out of Sari's delivery room. Ratchet blinked in surprise. Grace smirked wickedly. She acted completely nonchalant as the mechs and Peter breathed irregularly, staring up at her. Grace cocked her head asking

"You have fun?"

"How….Why….is acting like that?" Bulkhead exclaimed. Grace looked at him in shock. Acting like the explanation was staring him right in the face. She answered

"It's called pain."

Grace put away her nail file with careful ease. After seeing the boys had time to catch their breath, she continued,

"It's Contractions pulsing, muscles ripping and body parts stretching that were never meant to be stretched!"

She smiled seeing Peter grimace along with the other mechs. Grace was enjoying this. A lot. She would have to tell Sari's kid one day of the hilarity that went on before he/she was born. It would make quiet a funny bedtime story for years to come. Grace watched the men glance back that room, like a boogie man was coming out to get them. She smiled. Yeah, this was too much fun. Grace continued explaining,

"A comedian by the name of Carol Burnette said it perfectly….Take your bottom…..pull it over your head…."

"That's not so…" Bulkhead responded. Grace looked at him finishing

"And swallow."

"Ouch." Bulkhead replied, wincing. The others did in turn. Grace laughed again. She pointed to Sari's door saying "I…don't think, you guys need to bother Sari. Not till she's completely ready. We don't want this happy moment to cause someone to PTSD, now do we?"

The men/mech's shook their heads. Grace smirked wider replying "Good. Now, will we bother her anymore?"

Again, they shook their heads. Grace in turn nodded, walking away. Her laughter filled the room. She owed this baby big time.

*Delivery Room*

Sari was ready. Her body was tensed up and she lay in position. The same mech who she screamed, threatened and cried at stood apprehensively next to her. Bumblebee held her hand delicately in his hologram form; advice from Ratchet who said less body mass in the room, the better. He had a sneaky suspicion Doc Bot just found amusement seeing his hologram eye Sari like she might attack at any moment. For now, Sari was quiet. She smiled gently up at him, mouthing an apology. Bumblebee kissed her forehead.

Then came the big contraptions.

*Outside the Base*

"You think Sari is okay?" Bulkhead asked. Optimus shrugged his shoulders but sent a reassuring smirk. Suddenly a piercing scream echoed in the evening. This was followed by a ragging cry of "SON OF A BITCH! IT HURTS! OH PRIMUS! I'M NEVER HAVING A CHILD AGAIN!"

"I guess not." Grace answered. Gwen and Peter turned red as a few more up scene words came flying out of Sari's mouth. Great, now they'd have to explain THOSE words to the Autobots.

*Delivery Room*

Sari leaned back on the hospital bed, crying out in agony. She heard Ratchet tell her to push and she obeyed out of instinct alone. All she wanted was this baby to get out of her! Her sweat pooled along her pillow line. Bumblebee held onto her hand as Sari squeezed it tighter. She looked at him and screeched "You get to have the next one!"

*Living Room*

Optimus paced the floors as all the humans sat on the couch. The others were spread out among the room. No one spook. Sari's cries had been going on for hours. They had slowed once…then picked back up again. The Autobots had begged for what that meant. Grace went very pale replying "Something's wrong."

She suddenly went bolting into the Delivery Room. Optimus tried to follow her but she demanded he stay back. Grace bit her lip seeing he was hurt by her request. With an unknown gentleness she patted his leg saying "It will be okay. I promise."

Grace left the room. The others felt their hearts sinking. Abruptly…Sari was silent. Peter and Gwen slowly pulled themselves off the couch. Everyone looked at the closed door. Hearts and sparks beat heavily in a unified sound. Time….slowed. Then it happened…..

A baby cried.

It was soft. Gentle. Barely audible. Yet it rang out clear as day among the frightened group. Everyone sighed in relief. Then suddenly….

There was another cry.

Peter and Gwen looked at each other perplexed. Suddenly, Gwen put her hands over her mouth gasping. Optimus looked down at her, concerned. She started to cry…smiling. Grace at that moment entered the room. She two smiled; much more gently. Everyone gazed at her at once.

"Apparently Sari….has been keeping a secret." Grace said quietly. The Autobots went into their holograms in a flash, barreling towards the door. Gwen and Peter, hand in hand, went also.

They entered to find Sari resting with a tender grin on her face. With her left arm she held a little blue bundle. In her right….a pink one. One single tear slide down her face. Looking at the awed group in front of her, then the proud father next to her, Sari laughed saying "Surprise."

*A few minutes later*

Everyone, after orders from Ratchet, had left the room. Leaving both proud and happy parents to themselves. With a lot of effort, Sari had convinced Bumblebee to hold his children now. This was the first time he had ever held an infant, human or Cybertronian.

Sari handed Bumblebee the small blue bundle, careful to make sure he was holding the head right. She smiled as the baby grunting once, then cooed. Bumbleebee held his son, smiling down upon his small frame. Sari held her daughter and leaned over smiling gently up at Bee.

"I decided you should name him. He does, after all, look just like you." Sari said quietly. Bumblebee gazed at his newborn son. He had long ago decided on a name, keeping it to himself in hopes of maybe having a boy.

"Benjamin Paul Sumdac." Bumblebee responded. He looked up at Sari continuing "Benjamin, for Bulkheads hologram name and for Peter's Uncle. Paul, for Prowls."

Sari nodded. She gazed down at her daughter tenderly. Quietly she spook "My name for my little girls was much more difficult. I have two of the greatest friends in the world but I couldn't decide on whose name I would choose. So I made a compromise…"

"Olivia Grace Sumdac." Sari spook. She gazed up at her bonded explaining

"Olivia for Optimus and Gwen's mother who she loved more than life itself. Grace…for obvious reasons."

Bumblebee grinned slightly looking down at his son. Sari gently took him back and placed his much smaller daughter into his arms. Bumblebee wrapped his arms secrely around her, placing one finger to brush away the blanket from her face. Olivia then decided to grab a hold of his finger, making soft comforting noises. Bumblebee gazed upon her as she opened her eyes. They were the same color as his, colbolt blue. He rocked her gently whispering "Hello my little Olivia."

Sari gazed down at her son adding "and hello to you too my Benjamin."

Both parents took turns holding their son and daughter. Each had never felt so happy in their entire lives. Little did they know Gwen had started to smile at Peter in the Living Room. He eyed her suspiciously as she kissed him. While Gwen pulled away she whispered "Why don't we have one?"

Oh boy….what will Peter say? LOL! Anyway, do you like it? What a dramatic twist if I do say so myself. : ) Twins? Wow, Sari and Bee will have their hands full!
