I am writing as much as I can with all the work that I am doing since I work two jobs. My kids and I are well and my daughter has piles of homework since she has started at her private college prep school. He school is an international school here in the states and I am so proud of her even if we may have to live like paupers since it is so expensive. What a mother will sacrifice to see that her kids have the best.
I like the reviews. I know that more than just three people are looking at the stories but I just can't seem to get everyone to leave a review. Please take a moment to leave a review. I can't express how important they are to me and I will put you on my personal email to let you know about updates unless you tell me otherwise. Enjoy!
"Allie, we need to send supplies to the southern quadrant." Aura poked her head in as she said this and Allie looked up from her desk.
"Did they send in a requisition?" Allie asked as she shuffled her data pads and placed them on her desk.
"Yes and we did approve it." Aura replied.
"Then load a shuttle and send them." Allie stated and Aura nodded as she left. Allie was getting tired of everything going through her, Prowl, or Soundwave; however it was a repercussion from the attacks and she couldn't be sure that there would be more. She had been getting a feeling lately to go back down and look again. It felt as if she was missing something that was vital, something important that could place the last piece of the puzzle, and then maybe they could finish living out their lives in the new peace that they had established.

"Shalon, he is so precious even if he is a little larger than the average sparkling." Kiki said and giggled. Shalon smiled as she put away her night dresses that her master had packed for her while she had been staying in the infirmary. They still had not named the sparkling but Shalon had been excited to bring him home and now he was recharging peacefully in the nursery next to Storm who had been ecstatic to see her carrier. She and Kiki had held the mechling and then played with Storm until both sparklings were too exhausted to stay up anymore. Storm for once went right into recharge instead of wanting to stay with the adults. "I'm sorry that our last visit was spoiled by your emergency." Kiki said suddenly looking very sorry.
"Don't be. It wasn't your fault that I had to have emergency surgery and now I have my own mechling which is just what I wanted." Shalon said as she squeezed Kiki's hand in reassurance. Both giggled at each other and Shalon felt happy to be at home and where she should be.
The femmes heard a knock and Kiki looked up to see her mate standing in the doorway.
"We have company coming and I need to get you home." Starscream gently said to his mate as she rose and smiled lovingly at him. They were expecting Bumblebee and Stargazer to come for dinner and then the couple would be sparkling sitting so that Starscream could take Kiki to the city for a movie. It was an indulgence that had been picked up by the femmes and introduced in the Realm which had greatly been a hit and Kiki had never seen "Casablanca" before and was itching to see why it was so famous on earth.
"Okay, Shalon thank you for letting me help you home and have a wonderful night back." Kiki leaned in and kissed Shalon and then skipped out of the room so that she could join her mate who rolled his optics at her childish impudence. Shalon laughed because out of all of her friends Kiki was the one who could always make her laugh no matter how bad a situation could be.
"Hey." Megatron had come in and let Starscream and Kiki out while Shalon was musing over her friend. She did not hear him and looked up happy to see that he was home.
"My lord, it is wonderful to see you. They said you and Optimus had to go to the colony today and that you couldn't get out of it." Shalon said softly as Megatron walked in and sat next to her on their berth. He gently cupped her face with his hand as he looked at her glowing skin and happy expression.
"Who escorted you home?" He asked softly.
"Kiki and Aura but Kiki stayed to see our mechling." She returned softly leaning into his touch. She wanted for him to caress her and love her but Ratchet had not cleared her for that kind of activity. "He will send you through the ringer and dent your helm with his wrench. "
"Yes but it would be worth it to have you with me again. I have missed you in my berth." Shalon smiled at his possessiveness and lowered her lashes as he gently touched her face and neck.
"My lord I could open my stitches." She told him.
"I know, but I only want to cuddle and be with you. I promise not to hurt you." He said as he nuzzled her neck and very tenderly pulled her into his lap.
"My lord, don't you think that we should pick a designation for our son?" Shalon asked her mate. She looked up at him and reached up to kiss his chin and Megatron smiled at her tenderly.
"I know that Chelsea called her first son Metronus but I thought of calling our son after my sire, Galvatron." Megatron looked at his mate and watched her face for her reaction.
"Galvatron… I like it. Storm and Galvatron, they are both strong names." She smiled at her mate and he leaned over her to kiss her as he slowly laid her down on their berth.

"It's quiet." Sunstreaker said as he walked into his quarters that he shared with his twin and mate.
"Yes, Sunshine went to bed early. She had a busy day playing with First Aid, Orion, and Hot Rod. Later Little Jazz came and she was so excited to see that little mech that she wore herself out. I think we have the quarters for the rest of the night and Sideswipe will be coming in soon as well." Raynie said as she stood and kissed one of her mates.
"Do you ever regret bonding with us?" Sunstreaker asked and Raynie could tell that he was in one of his melancholy moods.
"Why would you ask that?" She demanded as she wrapped her arms around him.
"I just think that you could have done better than me." He said sounding down and moody.
"Sunstreaker, I love you and Sides. No one can change that." Raynie poured all the love and comfort into their bond.
"Raynie, is everything okay?" Sideswipe asked concern for his mates.
"Yes, Sunny is just having a rough day."
"I just got in. I'll be there immediately."
Raynie sighed in relief. She knew that Sides was much better at handling Sunny's moods than she was and she didn't feel like battling with him. Sunstreaker clammed up sensing that she and Sides were discussing him and walked in the open dining area and grabbed a cube of energon from the dispenser. Raynie watched him for a moment before walking to him and trying to wrap her arms around him again.
"Sides is on his way. He just came in from patrol Sunstreaker I love you. You have given me everything that I have ever wanted so why would I regret anything?" She looked up at him and reached up with one hand to smooth the worry wrinkles from the soft metal of around his optics. He smiled at her.
"Cliffjumper and I had a skirmish today. Nothing major, he just rubbed me raw that's all. I guess I felt insecure because all he gloated about was how he had the perfect little mate that obeyed his every whim." Sunstreaker took a long drink of his energon and then placed the cube on the counter. He turned in her arms and wrapped his around hers.
"I need to feel you. I need you." He stressed and Raynie surrendered to him as he took her lips and devoured her spark with his desperation. She clung to him as he stole her very essence drawing her into him as she felt his chest plates open without no foreplay or preparation. Her legs gave out and he followed her down to the floor as the first pulse hit her and she gasped out loud and then moaned. Sunstreaker suddenly pulsed her hard and Raynie cried out as he body contorted against his body.
"Sunstreaker please." She wanted him inside her but he was holding back wanting more of a spiritual connection than a physical one. Raynie tried to plead with him but Sunstreaker held her firmly to his body and let his glossa fill her mouth. His pulses were steady and very powerful as he brought her to over loading before completely merging his spark with hers. Raynie cried out as each pleasurable sensation coursed through her body until she was gasping and crying for release. He sent her over the peak as he followed her and Raynie clung desperately as her lover gently brought her down from her euphoria.
"I love you." She said quietly.
"I know." Sunstreaker replied.
"Hey guys, what did I miss?" Sideswipe said as he walked in from patrol.

It had been four days since the fight in the lab of the greenhouse. Four days of silence and three nights of recharging next to his warm armored body and yet he had made no further attempts to woo her or fight with her. Oh she had tried but he no longer laughed or mocked her and now Shayla wondered what he was up to. She walked to the dispenser and poured herself a cube of midgrade and made one for her unruly guest and then laughed at herself. She was doing exactly what Sentinel said that femmes were good at and if she had any sense she would poison his energon and let him die but Shayla would not be like that. She believed in being the wonderful hostess, it was from her days as a senator, and she wanted her guests to be at ease. Sentinel was a different matter altogether but even still she could not forget her skills as a hostess.
She started to head to her room but was stopped as she saw Sentinel standing in the doorway watching her.
"I am having an early night and I don't want to fight." Was all she said before she brushed past him and walked upstairs to her berth room.
"I will follow you." He said which made her stop. She turned around and glared at him.
"I don't need you to sparkling sit me." She sneered. "It is bad enough that you won't leave me alone at night now you have to interfere with what little personal time I have?"
"Shayla…"
"Oh now you remember my name. Primus you are insufferable!" She turned back and took two more steps toward her berth room before hearing his laughter. "What, you think that I am being funny, that this between us is amusing?" She exclaimed incredulously. She rounded but not before he closed in on her. "Sentinel, please we have gone four days without fighting and I am not in the mood."
"I don't want to fight Shayla. I want to love you." He purred into her ears. "What would it take to get you to trust me?" Shayla backed away slowly going up the stairs backwards as Sentinel stalked after her.
"Trust, you took everything from me and my family was killed! Why would I trust you?" She hissed at him as she looked desperately for an escape.
"Femme, what does it take to make you understand that I did not offline your family?" Sentinel snarled as he continued to stalk her up the stairs. "I made sure that Optimus kept Beachcomber safe. He was alive when I left Cybertron!"
"What?" She whispered as her legs gave out and she went down but not before Sentinel reaching her and keeping her from tumbling down the stairs.
"He was the last and I thought I had lost you forever." Sentinel gently said as he cradled her in his arms and sat down on the landing at the top of the stairs with her.
"But why? I thought you hated me and my family was only a means to get to me." She looked at him with confusion and Sentinel's spark ached for her.
"Why would I want to destroy you? You were the only bot to ever make me feel alive." He said and Shayla just stared as slowly understanding washed through her.
"But the senate, my being ostracized from society, I thought it was your doing!" She said softly.
"No, it was Darkwing's doing and I was not able to stop him. I have lived with that and regretted it." Sentinel gently held her and they stayed like that for what seemed an eternity and then he pulled her up in his arms and slowly walked her to the berth room. The cube forgotten was on the floor as he put her to berth and then spooned in beside her holding her close.
"Thank you." She said softly. Sentinel smiled as he held her close to him.
"For what?" He asked.
"For giving me hope." She replied. "You once said that you would be willing to give me my spark's desire. My desire is to see my little brother and you have given me hope."
