AN: I know this isn't the big update I promised, but I wanted to get these up so that you have something while I'm editing the next 3 chapters. Expect foreshadowing.

Chapter 175

Storm Gunner didn't want to wake up. She was far too comfortable where she was. An empty feeling washed over her, but even in her groggy state, she was able to pin down the cause: she was no longer carrying. Their son had been born. She couldn't help but smile at the thought, remembering the night before when Uranium laid the sparkling into her arms.

Her son. Datablaze...

Optics suddenly snapping on, Storm Gunner jolted awake. Datablaze was missing! "Datablaze? Datablaze!" she called out, scanning the room. She tried to sit up, but a force on her shoulder held her down.

"Calm down," Rodimus said softly, causing her to look up at him. His optics were still off, so it looked as if he were asleep. "He's okay."

Letting some air out of her systems, Storm Gunner glared up at her sparkmate. "Where is he?" she asked, her tone promising pain if she didn't like his answer.

Rodimus turned on his optics and gave her a knowing smile, "With Emission. He thought he could sneak out, but Emission pinged me over the comm and told me she was taking him to have his first meal." He stood, joints groaning as he stretched the stiffness out of them. "You, however, are staying on that bed until your systems stop frizzing."

Growling in protest, she relented and stayed where she was, knowing that said 'frizzing' was the main reason behind the anger she was currently feeling. 'Frizzing' was the Transformer equivalent of the typical hormonal imbalance that Human mothers suffered after giving birth. Her circuits would be misfiring for a while due to the sudden loss of an infant spark in her carrying chamber. A horrid thought suddenly occurred to her, prompting her to ask, "Rodimus, how long am I going to be frizzing anyway?"

He walked over to a counter picking up a data-needle. "Not long. Uranium came in here a few seconds after Datablaze left to give you the first Stabilization Booster, and told me to give you this one as soon as you woke up," he explained, coming back to her bedside and taking her arm. He leaned over and kissed her gently, causing a rush of desire and fear caused by the frizzing to shudder through her frame. He pulled away smiling. "That the second one done. You'll be right as rain within the next hour or so." Clicking the settings on the needle to activate its self-sterilizing programs, he returned it to the counter before sitting back down in the chair beside her bunk. "I do have one thing I want to know though."

Storm Gunner raised an optic ridge, "What's that?"

Rodimus grinned, nervously, "When I was talking to Uranium, she mentioned something... and... well... you see, I was worried, er, wondering..."

"Yes?"

For a moment, her partner was silent. Then he just blurted it out, "You didn't really mean it when you threatened to castrate me, did you?"

She spent the next hour laughing.
