Tia was restless. She was entering the third stage of carrying and she felt fat and ugly. Prowl had reassured her that she wasn't but the sparkling seemed to be very active and Tia didn't recharge most nights even with Prowl rubbing her down and trying to help her get the sparkling to settle. Even Doc was implying that she could be born any day and Tia was more than ready. Prowl helped her to get the nursery ready and she was glad for it since she never seemed to have any energy but then when she entered the third stage she couldn't resist the impulse to clean everything and make sure that they had everything ready for the little femme that she was carrying.

Prowl was ecstatic that they were having a femling. He had always wanted one and out of his family of six he had only had the one sister but they had been so close growing up together and he missed having a femme's opinion on certain things. Now he would not only have Tia but he would have their sparkling too.

Prowl walked in their quarters and found her in their berth room. She had taken to spending the early evenings in bed watching television until he came home from work. She was so pretty sitting up rubbing lotion on her stomach while she watched a movie. She loved biographies and movies and Allie always brought her a good selection from the city.

"Good evening Tia." Prowl told her.

"Good evening my lord." Tia said as she watched Prowl walk to the wash racks. This was their routine now that they were used to each other and she continued to watch her movie and speed it up so that it would end when Prowl came from showering.

"How was your day?" Tia asked as he came from his shower.

"My day was good. I went with Allie and Optimus Prime into the city for talks today. It seems that Allie is determined to call out Lord Stephano about Stephanie's kidnapping. She's using the peace treaty that we have with the Jung Ho to call him out and force them to do something about him."

"It won't work. Too many people fear him and they will not stand up to him." Tia commented. Prowl walked over and laid down next to her. She seemed restless lately and Prowl had hesitated about loving her since he didn't want to hurt her or the sparkling. She had moved between his legs and he started rubbing down her lower back. He applied the crème that Doc gave her to help ease the ache since the sparkling like to rest so low in her carrying chamber. Tia moaned from his contact and his systems heated. It was their routine every night except Prowl had quit interfacing with her. She missed the intimacy, she missed him, and she had asked Doc why he would stop. Doc said that she was healthy and her carrying had no risks so far but it confused Tia that Prowl had stopped. She was too scared to ask him why and he did not communicate his intentions anymore which confused her more.

Tia wondered if she could seduce him. It would be nice to feel him inside her. She wanted him and she wondered if she could pull this off. She reached around and pulled him towards her by his neck. Her lips hovered so close to his as she watched his optics for any sign of rejection. When he didn't move she closed the gap and kissed him as Prowl responded to her need. She gasped and then let her glossa explore his lips until he opened to allow her entrance. Prowl's arms went around her and she clung to his neck as they kissed passionately until she was forced to break it for breath.

"Tia, are you sure? I don't want to hurt you or the sparkling." Prowl whispered to her.

"I have never been surer of anything than this." She replied as she clung desperately to him. "I missed you. I missed us."

"Will it hurt the sparkling?" He asked desperate for her but unsure of their sparkling's wellbeing.

"I can get on top or you can have me on all fours." She whispered. Prowl growled as both images teased his processor. He moved as he position Tia on all fours, her head being supported by a pillow as he ran his hands along her body resting briefly on their sparkling. Tia moaned as fingers teased her valve. She missed him terribly and her body shook as he reacquainted himself with her. He pinched at her nipples with one hand and Tia cried out as a finger from his other hand slipped inside her.

"You feel so hot and wet." Prowl murmured as he lined himself up to thrust into her body. Tia closed her eyes as she felt him stretch her to prepare for his entrance. Prowl's spike was hard a ready as he gently pushed into her. Tis cried out because she was so wet and swollen and Prowl groaned because she felt so good. He filled her to the hilt and held there savoring the heat and slickness of her valve as he inhaled her heady scent.

"Prowl please I need you to move in me." She cried and Prowl began to move in her. He thrust deeply into her and Tia let out and high pitched wail as she pushed up against him with each thrust. Tia closed her eyes as she gasped and moaned when Prowl's hands palmed the swell of her stomach and the sparkling jumped and danced under his father's touch.

"Prowl!" Tia cried out as he thrust deeper and deeper into her swollen body and both reveled in the intense energy rolling through their bodies. Prowl suddenly pulled her to the edge of the berth as he stood up and turned her over. He wanted to see her face but he needed to put her in a position where it wouldn't harm the sparkling. He dangled her legs off the side as she brought them around his waist. He gently thrust back into her port as Tia moaned from the look on his face.

He pressed against the upper part of her valve as he thrust into her and Tis cried out. The energy built between them fast as Prowl watched her lovely eyes beg him imploringly. Her breath whispered of sweet lust as he continued to thrust into her until he felt her tightened against his valve and Prowl growled as he overloaded in her. Tia screamed his name as she followed him.

Later Prowl held her as she closed her eyes.

"Sleep you are tired." He said softly to her.

"I know Prowl."

"Did you have a good day?" He asked as he stroked her hair.

"I did." Her words were soft, tired as she closed her eyes.

"I am glad." He said.

"Prowl, I love you." She whispered. Prowl stopped stroking her hair and he wondered if he heard her correctly. She had gone into recharge but the desire for recharge left him as he pondered her words.

"You can do it. Just give me a couple of more pushes." Ratchet said as Kiki pushed with all her might when another contraction hit. Doc had gone to Moon base 5 so it was Ratchet who was delivering Starscream's and Kiki's sparkling since she had gone into premature labor. It had been expected and Ratchet had the neonatal unit ready and Knockout was assisting to make sure that they were ready for any unexpected event.

"Kiki you can do it." Starscream said softly as he supported his mate's back. He was worried about their sparkling but he also knew that Ratchet was very capable at taking care of his patients.

"Star, it hurts!" She cried as she gave another push. Kiki had been so good up until now but Starscream was worried that she was giving up. He helped her to push by supporting her back and Kiki let out a blood curdling scream as she pushed with all her might.

"That's it, Kiki. We're almost there. I can see the top of the helm." Ratchet said as he readied to catch the sparkling. Kiki pushed again when another contraction hit and the sparkling slithered out in the energon like fluid that it had been enveloped in. Though Kiki was exhausted she was eager to hear the first cry of her sparkling and she waited and waited but when several minutes passed and still no sound she began to worry.

"Ratchet, why isn't he crying?" She asked distress becoming apparent in her voice. Starscream wrapped his arms around her as she tried to get up but Star held her back.

"No, Starscream. I want to know what is happening to our sparkling!" Kiki was crying as they still had not heard their sparkling and Starscream began to fear that something was dreadfully wrong. Kiki tried to get out of Starscream's hold but couldn't and then they heard the most wonderful sound. Their sparkling chirped and Kiki cried with relief as Starscream hugged her close in gratitude and relief.

"He gave me a scare there for a moment but he is fine. I have him in his unit for now because He needs the warmth and the imitation of his mother's spark pulse but he will be fine." Ratchet said as Knockout placed the sparkling in his incubator and wheeled it over so that Kiki and Starscream could see him. He was very small but Kiki could see the distinctive red that he had inherited from his sire but he also had the traces of white that was given to him by his grandmother.

"Were you white?" Starscream asked.

"No but I believe my mother was white with grey markings." Kiki said softly as she looked at her little mechling. He was indeed small but then Starscream was small as a seeker compared to his trine mates.

"He's beautiful Kiki." Starscream said as he gazed at their sparkling. He reached over her shoulder and touched the incubator. The little sparkling clicked and chirped back as he tried to imitate his sire by touching him through the glass.

"He belongs to us my love." She said as she smiled at her mate over her shoulder.

"Yes he does. Are you okay?" Starscream asked concerned for her.

"I think so. I feel sore but I am happy." She said. Kiki yawned and Starscream knew she was tired.

"Rest my darling and we will talk later." He kissed her tenderly as he disengaged from the medical berth. "Knockout I am going to check in with Thundercracker and Skywarp. I want to let them know that they are uncles."

"Congratulations Starscream. I am happy that he is born healthy." Knockout said. "Kiki is resting?"

"Yes she is." Starscream replied.

"Good. When the sparkling is ready to feed I will wake her." Knockout said.

"I will be back shortly. I want to also inform Lord Megatron and Prime that Kiki has had her sparkling." Starscream told him.

"Good, I am sending the report in about ten minutes to Lord Megatron. I know that he would appreciate hearing from you personally." Ratchet said as he walked out from his office.

"I will head there first then." Starscream said.

Knockout walked in from his shift. He had finished later than ordinary because of the sparkling birth but he knew that Saraphina wouldn't mind since he was there for her most nights. He heard her in the wash racks and concern filtered his processor as something wasn't right. He quickly walked in and saw her hunched over on the floor.

"Sara! What's wrong?" He went down on his knee joints to pull her to him but Sara started purging sour energon in the drain. Knockout held her hair back as she violently purged everything in her tank. When she was empty she leaned back against Knockout.

"II guess we will be going to confirm that I am carrying." She said tiredly.

"I guess we will."

"I had hoped that it was a fluke but since it isn't I guess I better get ready to be a mother." She said softly. "I don't know if I will ever be ready but this places me in a dangerous situation."

"I'll protect you, Sara. You know that I will do anything for you." Knockout said quietly. He stroked her hair as he held her close to his chassis.

"I know but if Lord Stephano ever finds out our family will be in danger."

"I won't let that happen."

"I'll believe it when I see it."

"I wish you would now."

"I do. I just can't get overconfident because that's when something always happens. This sparkling is proof as it is."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I didn't want a sparkling yet, I wanted to wait until we were sure, but that isn't going to happen now." Sara looked up and smiled weakly at her mate. "I may not be ready but I will never deny you this sparkling. It is a part of you and because of that I love it already."

"I know. Underneath that hard exterior lies a beautiful spark that has captured mine. I know that you wouldn't harm it." Knockout kissed softly, careful not to taste the sour energon on her mouth. She smiled at him as he gently picked her up and carried her to their berth.
