The last chapter was filler because I haven't been inspired to write for a while. I have been working all the time and it suppresses my creativity when I am tired. I am going to try to write this with a bit more action but I don't know how long it will take to post it.

I hope you liked the last chapter. I know I wanted to write about Prowl so that everyone could see how happy he is. I love my little Jazz and I wanted him to be the perfect gift from Primus. I hope that my readers liked him.

Please take a moment to leave a review. I appreciate them. I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that there is some movement to get rid of rated M stories. If you have heard about it and know where the site to the petition is please take a moment to sign it. I don't want my stories to be erased even if the characters are not mine. Enjoy!

Allie waved farewell to her friends and gave Prime a long loving look. He had loved her the whole night until they had both fallen into a forced recharge. Even the twins sensed something up and slept through the night. She now was beginning to wish that she didn't have to leave. It was one thing to desire it but to actually have to leave behind her babies was a feeling so unexpected that Allie was wishing that she was not so stubborn and just run beck to them and her mate. Her spark ached already with loneliness and she clamped down hard on the bond so that Optimus would not tell her 'I told you so.'

She knew what she had to do and she would not regret her choices so Allie kept riding out focusing on her job so that she could get home.

"You need to check the filters on the energon dispenser. I think that the energon is not filtering out the impurities like it should." It was a red headed femme who stood there with her hands on her hips looking at Cliffjumper. He blinked his optics as he surveyed her stance and processed her words. She stared back expecting an answer from the red horned mech and then looked annoyed when he didn't say anything. "Well are you going to say something or stare at me all day?" She finally huffed out and Cliffjumper took in her small frame, her head barely reaching his shoulders, and sky blue eyes.

"I uh… uh… just checked the energon dispensers. They are fine." He stammered out. He watched her get even more annoyed with him and wondered what he said wrong.

"I know the dispensers are fine; I am asking about the filters." She had a well 'duh' expression and Cliffjumper thought she was adorable. Her purple blouse seemed to make her red hair shine even brighter in the fluorescent lighting and she wore petite denim jeans to accent her hips and pert aft. For a fleeting moment Cliffjumper wondered how she would respond if he was to take her and kiss her but he quickly repelled that thought since she could be one of those femmes with telepathic abilities, however he could not stop his systems from heating and the tell-tale sign of his fans kicking in. She smirked at the sound and one eyebrow went up as if to mock him.

"I will let maintenance know and have it checked out." Cliffjumper stated a little nasally. The femme definitely got under his plating and made him uncomfortable and it bothered him that she made his spark ache in a way he didn't like. He stepped back and as he watched her.

"You know I don't bite. Name's Waverly if you want to know." She said and stuck her hand out cheekily grinning at him. He took it as he continued to watch the femme and shook her delicate hand.

"I'll be in the rec room with Kiki later if you want to hook up and have some fun." Waverly waved her hands in the air as she talked and Cliffjumper continued to stare as he thought about what she was saying.

"If I have time I will come by later." He finally said and she smiled at him.

"Okay. Kiki was thinking about us going into the city if she can talk her mate into coming with us." Waverly said. Cliffjumper nodded just so she would go away. "Great, I hope to see you there." She turned and walked away and Cliffjumper stood there wondering when he had agreed to go to the rec room to meet her.

Prowl rubbed his mate's shoulders as she moaned from his touch. Jazz lay cradled in her arms as he chirped away at the gato that had wondered into the gazebo. The creature purred and Prowl laughed as his son tried to purr like the gato.

"You are a mess my little sparkling." He said to his son and Jazz turned and looked at his creator with a little smile on his face plates. Tia held him in her arms and nuzzled his helm and he cackled with laughter. He was so darling and he was in love with life around him.

"Hey Tia, Prowl, I thought you would be here." Shalon pushed the stroller that held the twins and Storm toward the couple.

"Lord Megatron said that you would be taking Allie's twins during the day." Tia said as Shalon approached them in the gazebo.

"Yeah well, I thought they would like to come out into the atrium and look around with the flowers blooming. Lord Prime is in a meeting with Lord Megatron and an ambassador from the Southern Realm." Shalon placed each one on the ground so they could crawl around. Orion crawled to Tia and Jazz chirped at the little mech in Tia's arms. They both giggled at each other as Roddy and Storm played with the petals of a flower.

"They are so wonderful." Tia said in awe of her son and the Prime's sparklings.

"I know. I am still amazed that Storm came from my body and Lord Megatron's coding." Shalon said as she watched all the sparklings play around them.

"Primus is amazing in that he gave us the ability. If we didn't have it then our race would slowly dwindle and die after the Allspark was destroyed." Prowl said. He let Roddy pull at his fingers as Roddy clicked and cooed over them. Jazz laughed at his sire and bounced in Tia's lap. She dipped down and nuzzled her little mech and he pulled her hair as he threaded his fingers through her raven locks and giggled.

"I cannot believe how happy he is." Shalon said. "Does he ever cry?"

"Not really. He might whimper if he is hungry but no he hardly ever cries. He did hit his helm the other day and started to cry but then when lubricant fell he stopped fascinated with his tears." Tia said laughing as Jazz laughed at her. "No, you love to explore too much to cry." She said to Jazz and he clicked back trying to imitate his mother's sounds.

"Storm cries once and if her sire is near he goes running to see what is wrong. She has him wrapped around her finger and I laugh every time he runs to her." Shalon said.

"I think that if hilarious. I wouldn't broadcast it to too many people though. Lord Megatron might not like that being general knowledge." Prowl stated as the twins climbed all over his legs. He carefully watched them play and pull themselves over and over to their peds only to walk a few steps and plop down on their afts. Jazz squealed in delight as Storm giggled pointing at Jazz. Her mother swept her up to plant her in her lap as she sat next to Tia.

"Can you believe that this is our life now?" Shalon asked as she gave Storm her teething ring.

"No, if you told me that I would have a mate and a sparkling a year ago I would have scoffed and ran a mile in the opposite direction." Tia stated. Prowl laughed at the femmes.

"If you would have told me that I would be a sire a year ago I would have called you a liar and decked you." Prowl said affectionately careful not to let his tone scare the sparklings.

"It is funny how a year can change so drastically." Shalon said.

"Do you think that Allie will ever adapt?" Tia asked. "I worry about her and the Prime."

"She will and so will Prime. They have both been leaders for a long time and they are just having trouble adjusting to being a couple and having two sparklings instead of just one probably didn't help the stress level. No, babies you have been a handful for your carrier." Shalon said to them and they laughed at her.

"Well I am enjoying being a mother and mate and I would not trade it for anything." Tia said and Prowl crawled over to her and kissed her.

"I am too although I miss Megatron when he travels." Shalon said as she played patty-cake with Storm.

"I know and he will be leaving for Moon base 5 tomorrow." Prowl said.

"Oh no, and I was thinking of asking him to take us to the beach." Shalon said in horror. "Maybe he will next time."

"Don't feel bad, Shalon. Prowl and Soundwave will be accompanying Lord Megatron as well as Prime." Tia said.

"Well maybe we can take the sparklings and stay with Aura and Thundercracker. Aura seems to be feeling better and they have a wonderful beach house." Tia said.

"That's a good idea. I think Kiki is taking Starburst since Starscream is going with Lord Megatron." Shalon said. "They have the room and we can all enjoy being at the beach."

"It is a good idea in theory but Lord Megatron said that until Allie comes back we must stay on base." Prowl said bursting their bubble before they could make any further plans.

"Then Kiki must be planning to go after they finish all this business with the bombings." Shalon said.

"Well we can make plans for later then." Tia stated positively. In truth she was ready to get out of the Hall and enjoy the sunshine along the coast and take Jazz out to see something other than the walls of the Hall. "We will see."

"Yes, my darling but first let me get back from this next mission." Prowl said. They spent the afternoon in the gazebo of the atrium playing with the sparklings.

Cliffjumper walked into the rec room early that evening. He had been off for at least an hour but was afraid to go there right away. He still wasn't sure if he wanted to pursue the femme but then curiosity had gotten the best of him and so here he was standing at the door debating whether he wanted to go in or not.

"Well the door doesn't bite." Cliffjumper started and turned toward the familiar voice. "I was about to go in and join Kiki if you are coming with me." Waverly said as she smiled at Cliffjumper. He looked at her. She had a way of getting underneath his armor and he was still not sure that joining her was a good idea.

"Well are you coming or not?" She asked and folded her arms around her in a huff.

"I guess I can join you." Cliffjumper finally conceded. He allowed her to go first and followed behind the small femme as they walked in and saw several faces relaxing after their shifts. They walked over to a femme that was drinking energon and she waved at Waverly.

"Hey Waverly, I was so happy to hear that you returned from the outer limits of the Realm. Allie kept you busy." Kiki said as she slid over in the booth to allow Waverly to sit with her. Cliffjumper took the bench on the other side of the booth and slid in.

"Kiki have you met Cliffjumper?" Waverly asked.

"No I have not had the pleasure. Hello, I am Katarina but everyone calls me Kiki." She stuck her hand out and Cliffjumper took it and smiled.

"So, Sarah and Tia are no longer in the field and Allie left this morning. You do realize that Allie only goes when she is planning an execution." Waverly said.

"Yes, but things are different now that we have peace. I also think that Optimus Prime would not like that." Kiki said. She heard the door and turned to see Starscream walk in from patrol. He stopped for a moment as he saw Cliffjumper sitting with a femme and his mate and he gave a low soft growl as he knew that this was not going to be the most comfortable social event of the night.

Cliffjumper saw the seeker heading toward their table but before he could get up and leave Waverly jumped up and slid in next to him pinning him against the booth and the wall. Cliffjumper bit back the sudden retort that sprang to mind. Maybe Starscream was just coming over to tell one of the femmes something regarding work and Cliffjumper remembered the talk that Ironhide had given him.

"Kiki have you checked on Starburst?" Starscream asked hoping that she had not.

"Yes, he is with Chelsea and Barricade. They are taking the sparklings down into the temple." Kiki said as she slid over to allow Starscream room to sit. He slowly slid in watching Cliffjumper warily.

"Star have you met Waverly yet?" Kiki asked.

"No I have not my darling." Starscream replied clearly marking his territory on his mate.

"Waverly and I used to be on the same team before I was captured. She just transferred back from the outer base in the Realm." Kiki told Starscream. Starscream looked at the red headed femme.

"It is nice to meet you. Have you and Cliffjumper been seeing each other long?" Starscream asked coolly.

"Oh no, we just met up today. I thought he would like to join us tonight." Waverly said.

Hound walked into the rec room and immediately took in the situation that Cliffjumper was in. He walked over and stood in front of the booth.

"Can I join the party?" Hound asked as he took in the cool seeker and the uncomfortable red mech.

"Sure, we are only talking." The overly exuberant Kiki said innocently. Hound retrieved a chair and pulled it up to the end of the booth.

"That was smooth flying today Starscream." Hound said as he sat down and hoped to deflect any negativity that Cliffjumper might say. Starscream picked up on Hound's words and smirked.

"Thank you Hound. I appreciate you providing ground support as well. I like how Prowl has integrated our patrols. It makes it easier for you as well as provides ground support when we need it." Starscream said. "If you will excuse me I will get us some energon. Cliffjumper, would you like a cube?" Cliffjumper looked up at the seeker that he was trying to avoid conversation with. He looked at Hound who silently nodded his helm at the minibot.

"I guess so." Cliffjumper said quietly. Starscream slid out and went to the dispenser. He grabbed a couple of cubes and brought them back to the table. Kiki took one as Starscream handed the other two to Cliffjumper and Hound. Kiki took a sip and then handed it to Starscream who then took a sip after his mate. Cliffjumper watched them warily and Hound watched Cliffjumper.

"Hey, we are supposed to go to Aura's and Thundercracker's house once Lord Megatron clears it for us to leave the bases ad Hall." Kiki said. She looked at Waverly. "Maybe you could bring your new friend, Cliffjumper with you and we could make a day of it. The beach is beautiful."

"That would be nice. What do you think Cliffjumper?" Waverly asked. She looked at him expectantly. Cliffjumper felt cornered because he did not want to go to a beach with a bunch of seekers but he liked being near Waverly.

"Why don't we wait until Megatron clears us to leave the base?" Starscream said coolly before Cliffjumper could reply. He didn't want to get Cliffjumper started and he did not feel comfortable sitting with the mech across from him.

"That would be better as much as I am tired of staying here." Kiki said. She leaned in a kissed Starscream even though she knew he did not want to give a show with Cliffjumper sitting across from them. Waverly smirked and turned to look at Cliffjumper who was clearly uncomfortable. Starscream sensed the mech's discomfort and decided to make a bigger show as he deepened the kiss and Kiki moaned as she squirmed to get closer to her mate.

"Get a room you two. You're making Cliffjumper queasy." Waverly said and laughed. The couple pulled apart and Kiki gave Cliffjumper a sheepish look.

"Sorry." She said.

"I'm not." Starscream stated and smirked challengingly at Cliffjumper. Cliffjumper smiled coolly before grabbing Waverly and planting a quick kiss on her astonished lips before smirking back at the seeker. Waverly touched her swollen lips and looked at Cliffjumper wonderingly before calming herself. Cliffjumper smiled quite satisfied with the results that he had achieved as Kiki laughed at Waverly and him.

"It's about time you came around." Starscream said laughing.

"What do you mean?" Cliffjumper asked belligerently.

"It's about time you looked past the pain and join in the future. I lost my family too when Vos was attacked." Starscream said. "It is why I joined the Decepticons. I was angry that the senate could order the bombing on innocent civilians."

"So instead you kill more innocent people in retaliation." Cliffjumper bounced back.

"It was war. We did what we were ordered to. We are still taking orders but now we do it to keep our families safe and to provide protection for those that can't. Maybe it is justice for all of the killing that both factions did." Cliffjumper was quiet for a moment. He still did not trust the seeker but Starscream was an officer and he would have to respect his words even if he didn't like the mech.

"Well I don't know about you guys but I have patrol early in the morning." Waverly said.

"Oh, are you the one that will be going out with me?" Starscream asked.

"Sure, I will be monitoring communications between Comm. and Soundwave as well as serving as a go between for the seekers and the ground pounders." She replied. Starscream laughed as Cliffjumper scowled.

"Don't take offense Cliffy, we always call ground patrol that even when we are the ground patrol." Waverly said.

"Name's Cliffjumper not Cliffy!" He snarled and Waverly laughed harder.

"Lighten up, we all have nicknames. You have to grow thick skin around here if you are going to fit in." Waverly stated and she pushed at his arm plate. Cliffjumper snarled and pulled her close by her hair. Waverly startled as he dipped his helm and kissed her thoroughly, his glossa slipping in to taste her mouth cavity. Waverly gasped and tried to pull away but Cliffjumper held her against him in a vice like grip. When he finally let go Waverly scooted back and fell off the booth seat on her aft as she crawled backwards until she felt she was safe enough to rise.

"Next time heed the warning!" Cliffjumper snarled and stood up to leave.

"Don't' worry I never make a mistake twice!" She snarled back as she rubbed at her lips. Starscream and Kiki sat motionless not saying a word as the other couple both left in a huff.

Megatron sat in his berth reading over the reports that Soundwave and Prowl posted for the evening. He listened to his mate as she put down Storm for the night. Shalon was singing a little lullaby that Megatron recognized from a song that Shia used to sing when no one was around on the base that she had been assigned to in Vos. It was comforting that Shia had passed it down to her sparklings and Megatron welcome the comfort that it brought to his spark. Cybertron may be let in shambles but they had survived and brought some of their traditions with them.

Megatron felt the berth depress and Shalon suddenly swing her thighs over his massive ones. He kept reading through the reports knowing that she would wait until he acknowledged her. After a few minutes he put the data pad down and looked expectantly at her.

"When can we have another sparkling?" She asked. Megatron looked speechless and she giggled. "I mean my love, Storm is getting bigger and doesn't want to nurse anymore and I miss that. Besides you said we could try for a son."

"What does Doc recommend?" Megatron asked after he thought carefully about her request.

"Doc says to wait but I am healthy and I am not nursing at all. I want to at least try." She said softly twiddling her thumbs in a manner that Megatron thought was adorable. He watched her as she waited for his answer and then he smiled and she let out a rush of air in relief.

"I promise that we will try but only if you will go in and have Doc do a physical to make sure that everything is normal. You don't have to tell her what it is for if you think that she will lecture you but I don't want you to lose a sparkling if your body is not ready." He told her softly as she smiled at him shyly.

"Thank you my lord." She leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips and he rolled her around where he had control of her.

"If anything comes back I will not put you in danger. You have become my spark." He said softly in her ear. "I will never deny you especially if you want more sparklings. I cherish you, my love. I love that you worship me." Megatron smirked and Shalon giggled. "I love that you are so submissive, and I love that I can do anything to you and you still love me."

"You are my life my love, my mate and I will do anything to make you happy." She replied and Megatron kissed her. She returned his kissed fervently and Megatron pulled her further under him as he continued to ravish every one of her senses.
