I had to add a down time for my two favorite couples. I hope everyone liked it. I am now going to gear up and try to finish out this fiction so that I can start working on something else. Please take a moment to review. I write for them and I hope that I do a good job. Enjoy!
Waverly was so tired. Doc had her on a strict regimen and had prescribed for her to check in at least two to four hours daily in the infirmary. Doc promised that if her readings were good then it would not go past two hours but Waverly did not look forward to all the blood and energon tests that Doc wanted performed each day. She was now considered what humans would call high risk and Doc was determined not to lose her or the sparkling that she was carrying.
"Waverly, you need your rest." Cliffjumper said it softly trying not to sound like he was ordering her and Waverly did appreciate his concern. In the two days he was trying very hard to please her and she appreciated his efforts but Waverly was still nervous around her mate because they were not the traditional loving couple that were the type in a bond.
Chelsea had talked to her and told her stories where on Cybertron there had been couples that bonded for political gain or in the Golden Age of Cybertron the elite would only bond to mechs and femmes that were within their own social circle. She had explained that that was one of many reasons that the Decepticons had rebelled against society and the senate. Waverly appreciated Chelsea's efforts but she also knew that she was making up for the bad advice she had given on Waverly's bonding ceremony day.
"Waverly…" Cliffjumper roused her from her thoughts as he walked toward her. "Waverly let's go to berth. You need your rest and I know how hard it is for you to recharge."
Waverly knew he was right. Even being high risk Doc said that she would still need her mate to overload her to keep the charge down from her system preparing for the final stages of her carrying. Doc had not looked her in the eye with this information and Waverly knew she was not comfortable suggesting it. It was something that Waverly still became nervous about because before Cliffjumper took it has his duty and would make her feel as if she was made to be serviced. Now Waverly knew that she would have to ask and she was dreading it. She could feel the tug of the bond. She had been feeling it for over a week and her hands shook when she thought about how to approach Cliffjumper. Maybe she could just send him telepathical suggestions and not have to worry about putting it into words.
She walked to him as Cliffjumper pulled back the blanket on the berth. He turned back to look at her. "Are you okay?" He asked her and Waverly stared as she tried to put into words what she was feeling. When she couldn't voice it she looked down but Cliffjumper stopped her with his fingers as he tilted her chin upwards to look her in the eyes.
"I feel it too," he said softly and Waverly began to shake, "but you will have to ask."
Waverly tried to talk, she really did but she couldn't get a sound to come out and when she just stood there shaking for a few moments Cliffjumper finally took her by the hand and led her to lie down on the berth. He climbed in next to her and wrapped his arms around her as she laid there shaking.
"Waverly, what's wrong?" He asked her but Waverly just shook her head negatively as she started thrashing against him.
"Waverly, talk to me. Tell me what I am doing wrong." Cliffjumper asked her frantically as she cried out but still Waverly couldn't voice what she wanted from him. He turned her so that she was under him and he was very mindful of her and the sparkling as he gently stopped her head from thrashing back and forth. When he had her still with his hands on either side of her head and they were optics to eyes, he asked once more, "Waverly, is it the explosion today? You have been so quiet since it happened." He watched her as she looked desperately up at him and then when Cliffjumper thought he could stand no more of the confusion Waverly reached up with her head and tried to kiss him.
Cliffjumper pulled back as he watched Waverly whimper as if from pain and then realization dawned on him as he felt the pull of the bond as well. Cliffjumper slowly leaned forward and kissed her very softly on the lips.
"Is this what you want?" He asked her as he leaned back to gage her reaction.
"Cliffjumper please I… I need…" She cried out as tears formed and Cliffjumper quickly bent his helm to nuzzle the side of her face.
"Shh… please don't cry." He said to her trying so desperately to calm her.
"Jumper, please…" She cried again and Cliffjumper once again kissed her as his glossa reached out to trace along her lips. Waverly slowly circle her arms around his neck and Cliffjumper pulled her until they were lying on their sides as he slowly and very carefully explored his mate. It was the first time that she had wanted him even if she could not voice it and he did not want to hurt her.
Waverly opened her mouth as he filled it with his glossa and tasted her. She moaned into the kiss as Cliffjumper pulled her leg over his. He continued to explore her as she tentatively began to explore him. He allowed her to fulfill her curiosity as he broke the kiss and pulled them around until he was on his back and she was straddling him.
"Jumper, I…I don't know what to do." She said as confusion filled her senses. She wanted him and could feel the wetness seeping through her under clothes as he cupped her and watch her eyes grow round as saucers.
"Waverly just touch me. Feel my responses to your wetness and allow yourself to enjoy this." He said as she looked so doe eyed and scared to take control. It was not his usual way of interfacing but this was too important in their relationship to screw up. He went from her valve and moved up to the swell of her stomach as he rubbed their sparkling through her. Waverly whimpered and moaned from his hands being on her body and she leaned down as far as her abdomen would allow and began to touch Cliffjumper grill letting her fingers twine into his circuits just below the sensitive plating. She could hear his moans and how they affected her through the weak link of their bond.
Cliffjumper moved over her, touching her everywhere as he removed her clothing and then he dipped his helm down and tasted the sweet lubricant of her valve. Waverly cried out as she arched up into his touches.
"Jumper, I need you please." Waverly begged as she writhed under his touches and Cliffjumper thought he would overload just from hearing her beg. His interface panel retracted back and his spike extended and Waverly's hand went down to grasp him firmly.
"Wave please…" was moaned out statically as Waverly touched him and explored him using different pressure as she watched his face plates. It was the first time she had ever wanted to touch him and the action did not go unnoticed by Cliffjumper. He thrust into her hand as Waverly arched up wanting to feel him against her.
"Jumper, please I…, I need you inside me." She whispered and Cliffjumper opened her legs to settle between her as he gently moved to stretch her valve remembering Ironhide's words of caution when pleasing a femme. She moaned and bucked against his fingers pulling them deeper within her valve and Cliffjumper thought he would overload from her wanton behavior. He quickly positioned himself and slowly moved inside of her as she arched up against him to get deeper.
"Waverly," he said as static filled his vocalizer and he thrust into her slick, wet, ready valve. She had always desired him but now she was ready to fulfill the desire that he had built between them and Cliffjumper now understood the difference and why she was so lonely and unresponsive before. Waverly was a femme to be treasured and he had almost lost her because of his rough handling. Now if he could reign in his temper he might have a chance at repairing the damage he had done to her. At least she was still receptive to him even though most of it was due to the bond.
He cradled her head with his hands as he moved faster and yet he kept the pace gentle so that he would not hurt her. His glossa trailed along the edge of her lips before burying his helm between her shoulder and neck. He gave her light nipping kisses along her neck and collar bone and then he moved one of his arms so that he could lift her legs higher so that he could penetrate her deeper. Waverly gasped as he hit the sensor deep inside her and she jerked upward against him. Cliffjumper wanted to rear up and pound her until he fell into recharge but he also knew that this was for her.
Waverly was feeling intense pleasure as Cliffjumper moved steadily within her. She flexed her fingers as she pressed tightly to his arms and Cliffjumper knew that she would leave dents in the armor. He lifted her legs higher so that he could go deeper and Waverly whimpered and then cried out softly as Cliffjumper was careful not to hurt her.
Waverly was so close as the charge building kept rolling yet not quite taking her over the edge into overload. Cliffjumper was setting the pace so that they could both enjoy it yet Waverly wanted release so that the burning sensation of the bond would ease. She cried out again as Cliffjumper hit the same deep sensor and then the third time Waverly began to scream out clenching at Cliffjumper's armor. He started to ease up but Waverly sent a clear no through the bond shocking him deep to his spark.
"Please, don't stop." Waverly whimpered and then screamed again as Cliffjumper kept hitting that deep sensor within her. He saw her chest start to light and his spark answered in kind as his chest plates waived the protocols and unlatched so that his spark could join with hers. It would only be the third time in months since the bonding ceremony but Cliffjumper was overjoyed that this time it was Waverly that initiated the bond. She had never before and Cliffjumper would cherish this moment always.
As Cliffjumper eased up on her legs she allowed himself to carefully lean over her chest as their sparks felt and touched each other until they entwined and interconnected until they were one. Waverly cried out as he spark went over with her body following. Cliffjumper was with her all the way and Waverly no longer felt the emptiness. They still had their share of problems but Waverly could feel the desperate love and willingness that Cliffjumper would do to try to salvage their bond.
"I will try because you are trying." She told him after long moments of cooling down.
"Thank you." He replied finally content that they were starting to talk within their bond.

Allie groaned softly. She had slept very well until she had been moved in the middle of the night. It was very early and her internal alarm was ringing in her ears as she opened her eyes to see herself sprawled across both Optimus and Megatron with Shalon's arms wrapped around her middle. How they had gotten her in this position she would never know but now the problem was how to get up without waking the other three.
Allie carefully and very slowly crawled off of the three recharging beings as she stopped to look at her mate recharging peacefully in slumber. Shalon was completely out. She had always been a sound recharger when knowing that she was safe. Allie kissed both of them on the head and helm but when she looked over to kiss Megatron his optics were bright and watchful as she smiled in greeting.
"Good morning my lord." She whispered. "I am sorry if I woke you but I thought I would leave you three recharging since you had such a trying day yesterday." Megatron smiled at her as he brought his hand up to grasp her by the hair.
"Good morning my dear sweet sister." He whispered back. He started to pull her towards him but Allie protested.
"My lord please, you will wake the others and I have to meet Soundwave." Allie told him. She resisted again until Megatron relented with a sigh expelled from his vents.
"You kissed them." He teased.
"I was going to kiss you but you were awake." She countered.
"So I am not worthy of your affections after I overloaded you last night?" He teased again.
"You are always worthy of my affections but I do have to go." Allie whispered as she leaned forward and kissed him on his helm. She leaned back and smirked at him. "I will see you in a little while. Rest with Optimus and Shalon but I do have to meet Soundwave." She turned to get dressed missing Megatron reaching for her and failing. He watched her quietly get dressed before she turned back and waved at him. Megatron smiled before slipping back into recharge.

Soundwave was not a mech to pace but as he waited in the hallway for Allie he could not escape the fact that he was tempted to do so. He was not anticipating this interrogation to be smooth. Cassie had taken the sparklings and symbiotes to their house in the city. She felt that with her background in education she would not be a target nor would any of their family.
"Sorry that I am late. Megatron didn't want to let me go." Allie said as she came running down the hallway. Soundwave smirked behind his mask. He knew that Megatron and Shalon spent much of their time with Optimus and Allie and the closeness between the two couples had steadily been reinforced since the end of the war. It gave Soundwave a sense of peace to know that the two brothers were healing and that their femmes' closeness helped achieve it.
"Ironhide had Sentinel placed in a holding room. I have had Laserbeak watching him through the night. Outcome: He will be resistant to any tactic we may try." Soundwave said. To any one he seemed stoic and unresponsive but Allie had come to understand the dark blue mech better over the past year and she saw what Cassie saw in him. It was why she had gained his loyalty.
"Well then, let's do this." Allie told them as she and Soundwave began walking towards the cell blocks to the interrogation rooms. Allie was nervous, excited, and ready to get this over because so much tension had been building since Sentinel had arrived in the Realm. Even now Allie could feel relief in her femmes and even some of the mechs since Sentinel's detainment. They were tired of the fighting and the terrorist's acts of violence. Now they would start seeking answers.
Allie walked into the viewing room followed by Soundwave. "Morning Prowler," Allie said, her processor not catching the immediate stiffening of Prowl's armor. She was distracted by her thoughts and her words had slipped not realizing just exactly what she was saying.
Soundwave picked up on Prowl's tension but chose not to say or do anything. He would ask Prowl later about it knowing that this was not the time. He looked over Allie's shoulder to see Sentinel sitting in a chair alternating between clenching his fists and thrumming his fingers on the table. Soundwave watched his actions carefully reading anything that might give him away.
Allie watched as well for a moment and then turned to Prowl. "Has anything changed since last night?" She asked.
"No my lady and he refused any energon. He probably thinks it is laced with a sedative to relax him and he is afraid that he might give something away." Prowl said very formally. Allie looked at him questioningly wondering why Prowl was acting the way he had when they first came to the Realm. As she thought about his mannerisms it dawned on her that she had called him by the nickname that her brother used to call him. She had not meant it and it saddened her that even now with Tia and the sparkling he could still be affected by Jazz's death.
"Soundwave, I will let you go in first. Then I will follow after a few moments. He knows that it will be one of us and I don't think that it will matter the order because he will resist although I am hoping that he will respect you more than he does me." Allie said and Soundwave nodded silently. He already was preparing for the CPU that he would have to no doubt read by force and Allie knew he would not say a whole lot until the interview was through.
Soundwave left and Allie turned to the viewing screen. Prowl did the same. "Prowl, I am sorry for earlier. I didn't mean for the nickname to slip. I have had a lot on my mind and Jazz has been one of the mechs that I have been missing." She said it softly so as not to try and hurt Prowl any more than necessary.
Prowl turned his head to the left and looked at Allie. He studied her for a moment and then turned back. "It's okay Allie, I have been thinking about him as well."
"Did Optimus keep his body or was it disposed of since it happened on Earth?" Allie asked.
"We disposed of all of the dead bodies but Jazz's was kept in moratorium in the back of the hanger. I think that Optimus hoped to use the shard of the Allspark but then the Decepticons stole it to use on Megatron." Prowl said it but Allie could tell from his tone of voice that it pained him to speak about such matters. Allie wondered if she should tell him about the dreams that she was having and why she had been stressed so much recently.
"When everything is brought to the Realm, will they also bring Jazz's body?" She whispered. It was time for her to join Soundwave in the interrogation room. Already Sentinel was on his feet ready to fight and Soundwave would need backup to get through all of his firewalls and digital locks that Sentinel had thrown up.
"I think that is the plan. We are moving the essentials first. Optimus wants to make sure that everything comes through the gate because he doesn't want to leave anything that the humans could duplicate into a weapon." Prowl looked at her then. "Why do you ask about his body? If anyone had the right of say it should be me."
"But I am his sister, and I have always loved him. I remember when my memories were suppressed I still dreamed about him. It was why I asked about him first when I regained my memories. It is why I still miss him so much." She turned to Prowl and he could see the pain in her eyes. "He was my whole world before this war began. He took care of me when our sire and carrier were killed in an accident. I can't help but miss him now that I know what I lost all those years that I didn't remember." Her words were whispered brokenly and the next stunned Prowl to the core. "I don't think I will ever be settled, not even with Optimus, if I don't try to find out why Primus is giving me these visions of my brother coming back to us. I love you and Tia and I know that my words will cause spark ache and unsettlement in your spark but I have to find out why. I am even slipping in my terms. I have started using terms that I haven't heard spoken in vorns and I know that they are terms that Jazz used." She looked back and then started for the door but Prowl stopped her.
"If he is meant to come back to us then Tia and I will have room to share him. He would love her anyways. Besides, he would love Little Jazz too." Prowl said with static entering his voice and Allie smiled as she tried to keep the tears at bay.
"I know that I had my share of difficulty with Optimus but I think that if I get this mess with Sentinel out of the way then maybe I can tell Optimus about the dreams and we can discover why I am being haunted by my brother." Allie told him softly and then turned back to walk out so that she could join Soundwave. Prowl was glad that she had divulged what was bothering her to him. Family was everything and he was glad that she still saw him as a brother-in-law even if they couldn't bring Jazz back.

"I demand that you set me free now!" Snarled Sentinel. He pushed against the table causing it to flip on its side but Soundwave kept his calm demeanor. "Doesn't anything affect you? Don't you care that Optimus Prime," Sentinel spat out the title Prime as if it was contaminated, "…had led us into our final destruction? We were meant to be gods and here we are keeping peace for a bunch of humans, squishies isn't that what you call them?" Sentinel jumped up and started to pace like a caged animal. Soundwave continued to watch him patiently waiting for Allie to walk through the door. He wasn't disappointed. Allie walked through and Sentinel snarled violently and tried to pounce on the more than ready femme.
As Sentinel leaped at her, Allie threw up a static type field and Sentinel could feel his systems reacting negatively to the energized blue light that raised from the device that she held in her hand. Even from Soundwave's position he could feel the energy crackling in the air and shuddered at how it must feel to be used on Sentinel. Sentinel cried out as the stat icky field became too much and forced him to fall to the ground in dazed pain.
"Neat gadget that Wheeljack invented. Of course Wheeljack couldn't figure out what to do with it but I sure like to use it to keep control from maniacal bots such as yourself." Allie said dryly and she could easily read the hatred in Sentinel's optics. She smiled back and Sentinel started to rise up but then all Allie had to do was point the device with her thumb hovering over the switch to make Sentinel change his mind.
"Good bot." She said and walked over to the up turned chair to replace it properly on the floor. "Sentinel, if you mind, let's start again and this time we might be reasonable about this discussion we are going to have." Allie crossed her legs and looked expectantly at him. Soundwave had to admire her finesse. She commanded control and her presence personified one of regal dignity and air. She was a mate worthy of the Prime and Soundwave was glad to be on her team.
Sentinel slowly stood and limped over to the third chair that had been thrown back against the wall from Sentinel's earlier display of rebellion. He took the chair and returned it even if his movements showed deep anger. Soundwave then prepared his CPU to enter Sentinel's. It would be better this way. Allie would distract him by talking out loud so that Prowl could hear one side of the interrogation and Soundwave would do a mental interrogation. If Sentinel proved to be too difficult then Allie would read him but Allie warned that she would not be gentle and that her probing could damage Sentinel's CPU. Already Ratchet was being called to oversee and stand watch with Prowl and then later Megatron and Optimus would join to watch the final results.
"Okay, I am not going to lie to you and you are going to cooperate." Allie stated. Sentinel scoffed and rolled his helm in mockery.
"You think you are all that! You are nothing but a sparkling machine designed to stay in the shadows and make the Prime happy!" Sentinel snarled at her but didn't try to move. Allie looked on and smirked.
"And yet it is this sparkling machine that is sitting here interrogating you. I bet that just burns your rubber. I bet every one of your ball bearings that this is just killing your pride." Allie said smoothly not batting an eyelash. She was stalling time to give Soundwave a chance to get into his processor and by connecting her processor with Soundwave's she knew he was having trouble reading him with all of his firewalls in place.
"You have no idea what I am, what I was on Cybertron. If you did you would have respect for me. I am a Prime…"
"…Was a Prime. You were a Prime and you gave it up for science." Allie finished. "Wheeljack speaks eloquently of your work and there is still respect but the truth is that you are jealous of the gate, you have done your utmost to usurp my leadership, and now we are being bombed and attacked by an unknown adversary. Please Sentinel everything points to you and if you are not this person then let us read you."
"I don't need to be read. I am not your enemy." Sentinel started to get up but then saw the device in Allie's hand and stopped his actions.
"Unfortunately your word is not enough. Let us read you. Drop your firewalls." Allie said calmly. Soundwave watched at the pair stared each other down and then he felt Sentinel drop his firewalls. Soundwave immediately started going through all of his files listing them by dates and the order of importance to Sentinel. He skimmed each memory for anything that might clue them in to the attacks and when finished he let himself out and nodded to Allie.
"Thank you Sentinel for cooperating. I appreciate it." Allie said and unfolded her legs to get up but before she stood Sentinel huffed and looked her up and down.
"You think that you will stay in charge here? You bring two powerful mechs, brothers, to this Realm promising them sparklings and families. It will get old and then what happens to your precious world you've built when they destroy it? We were gods and those humans you protect deserve to serve us. Why should we even be considerate of their feelings? They have done nothing to deserve our protection." Sentinel huffed once more but Allie leaned in tired of his arrogance and demeanor.
"You think that I like protecting the humans? I have spent the last four million years in this body as penance for your war and the destruction of our home world. Even if Cybertron could be revitalized I could never again live on it because of what I am now. I have lost everything that means something to me, my family, and my brother, even some of my closest friends. Don't tell me we were gods because it is that reasoning that I am paying for. It is why I have processor aches and pain that you can't even imagine in this body because the oracle never lets me forget what we have done to our home world." Allie snarled so vehemently that even Soundwave leaned back reeling from her heated words. No one spoke after that and Allie stood up on legs shaking with anger and walked out with Soundwave following her.
Soundwave stopped to watch the femme as she stood in front of the other door leading to the observation room. "I would like for you not to reveal that to Cassie. She carries enough guilt with the losses of lives in the orphanages. It is why she took over the job and oversees them." Allie never looked at Soundwave but he understood why she hid this fact from Cassie. Cassie didn't need any more burdens and this particular one was Allie's to carry. Soundwave in his stoic way stood and patiently waited for her to open the door and she took that as consent that he would not say anything.
The door opened before Allie moved and she looked up at Megatron with sorrowful eyes.
"How much?" She asked quietly.
"Enough to know that I am sorry." He returned.
"You shouldn't have heard that last part but Sentinel just… Ugh! I hate that arrogance." Allie groaned and then her head went against Megatron's chest.
"I am sorry for that last part. It's my burden and I shouldn't have let loose on him like I did." Allie said quietly as Megatron arms enveloped her. She felt him chuckled wickedly then.
"This was not how I pictured coming out after handling Sentinel. I figured I would be mopping up the mess instead of his spark still beating." Megatron said dryly.
"Well I felt sorry for him. I also had three special people to help release some of that tension last night." She looked up at him and smiled. "Speaking of people, where's Optimus?"
"If my brother would get out of the door I would be the one holding you." Came the dry reply and Allie laughed this time for a moment before sobering.
"My lord I am sorry for what I said." She said as Megatron moved and she saw Optimus and felt the sorrow that he shared with her.
"No, Allie I am the one who is sorry. I never realized how much pain that we both had concerning our home world." Optimus spoke so eloquently, sorrowfully and Allie's spark broke. She was the one that had to face the oracle but Optimus had to carry a part of Primus inside of him and where hers was through dreams and rituals that reminded her, his reminders never left him.
"Well we are a pair then." She said as she went into his arms. It was the first time that they had seemed truly connected other than through bonding or interfacing and it felt good. "Maybe I should have told you how I felt sooner."
"It would have helped understand you." Optimus said.
"I'll try harder to communicate."
