I am glad that I received good reviews for 107. Thank you so much. I am sorry that it took so long but hopefully I will be back on track and posting a chapter at least once a week if not two. We are doing better. I am still struggling with a cough and my blood pressure is raised slightly but I have an appointment next Wednesday and hopefully I will be feeling better.

I hope that all my readers are staying well and that the Holidays will be a blessed event in your life this year. This is the first years since the economy has been slow that we have had a good year. I of course have to work two jobs but I am glad that we will have a good Christmas.

In regards to the story I still enjoy writing and I want to remind everyone that I like happy endings so Star won't die but it will be interesting how that figure out how to cure her. Please take a moment to review because I live to write for them. Enjoy!

"Allie, it is good to have you back with us." Aura said as she walked up to the transport as Optimus gently guided his mate by the arm down the ramp. He was careful to make sure that Allie did not trip since she was starting to show and her balance at times was off.

"It is good to be back." Allie replied as she looked behind her and Optimus to watch Roddy and Orion disembark the transport too. They padded down on their little peds to join their carrier and sire as Optimus guided his family toward Megatron who stood watching near the entrance to the tarmac.

"Brother, did you enjoy your time off?" He asked as Optimus stood when he was within reach of Megatron. Allie stood next to Optimus and smiled at her brother-in-law as she watched her mate shake hands and then embrace his brother.

"We did. The twins liked being outside and I even enjoyed the difference of scenery and Allie enjoyed sleeping in and reading in her sitting window. You should come and bring the family. Allie's house is more of a lodge that can hold several families very comfortably." Optimus told him as they embraced in what was now their usual brotherly greeting. It still seemed strange for many of the mechs but each time more and more came to accept it and the peace that had now reach over a year in human time. Allie smiled as she herded their family to stand in front of Optimus while steering them close to the door that led to the hallway so that they would be ready to leave after Optimus and Megatron finished their greeting and talk.

"I will keep that in mind when we have some down time." Megatron replied as he felt little hands touch his knee and he looked down to see Roddy smiling up at him. It still gave him a feeling of disconcertion to have small sparlings and younglings around but even the most troublesome one now warmed his spark and it eased his processor to know that their race would continue to survive to one day see their home possibly restored.

"We had a lovely time my lord and the twins enjoyed being outside in the sunshine." Allie told him as she smiled. "Doc came to see me and made sure that I am adjusting to the changes since finding out that I am carrying twins again."

"Good. Let's get all of you to your quarters and I will comm Shalon. She has missed you and I know she looks forward to visiting." Megatron said as he nudged the twins forward and guided his brother and family to the hallway.

"You know that Allie and I welcome her anytime and look forward to seeing her again. How is Storm and Galvatron?" Optimus asked as he followed his mate and sparklings up the stairs to the next level and to their quarters.

"They are doing well and Storm has discovered that she is a good aim on the firing squad. Ironhide thinks she is young but I encourage her. You never know if a skill might be useful and we have made new enemies here in the Realm as well as adopted enemies that have aggressively pushed for more territory." Megatron answered and Prime laughed as they guided the twins and Allie in. Allie was still quiet and Optimus knew that she had become introverted since the little ones had made it known through the creator-creation bond how they felt toward their carrier. He worried for her because she did not seem happy but when he tried to talk to her she would deny her feelings. It made Optimus feel helpless since he did not understand their relationship and Ratchet could not help. He suggested that they talk to Bluestreak and see if counseling would help but Optimus was afraid to approach the subject with Allie.

"Allie, how are you doing?" Megatron asked politely.

"I am well." She answered as Optimus guided her to the couch in their den. "I enjoyed being home in the mountains after being away for so long and I would love for you to bring your family my lord."

"We will look forward to it. I will need Optimus so that we can go over reports." Megatron stated.

"That is fine. I have to report the infirmary for a check-up." Allie said.

"So soon? I thought that we might have some time together." Optimus said to both of them but the steely determination that he felt from his brother block any decisions about delaying his work.

"Yes Optimus, Doc is very concerned about me and the split sparked twins. She wants me to check in every time I leave the Hall and return. I will be back though soon, I promise." Allie said as she stood and leaned over to kiss Optimus.

"Take your time. I can see by Megatron's optics that we will need some time."

"Please, I will not be that long. I just need to talk to my brother one on one for a while." Megatron added. Allie smiled at him and turned to walk out of their quarters and go to medbay.

"You're leaving?" A demanding voice said as Raven slowly turned. She had been dreading telling him because she could feel the loneliness and insecurity in his EM field and knew that he would take this wrong, but she needed to be strong and face Shockwave so that she could reason with him.

"I have to return to the field and finish my assignment. It will not take long since I am almost at the end of it and another femme will soon be relieving me." She said very calmly keeping her energy around her calm and her voice steady. She was shaking on the inside but covered it so that she could soothe and reassure Shockwave that her departure was not caused by him.

"You belong to me Raven. We have a relationship." He said quite viciously and Raven flinched from his tone. She had heard the rumors but chose to take a chance and now she began to wonder if she had made the wrong decision. She tried again to calm him as she put her hands up to reassure him again while protecting herself should she have to become defensive verbally or physically.

"I am not going to be gone long. It will only be for two weeks my lord. I told you the other day that I had to finish my work…"

"Get someone else to finish it. You will remain here." He said arrogantly as he stepped closer and Raven took a step back. Her spark leapt as he slowly kept coming at her and Raven broke out in a cold sweat.

"And I will but I need to make sure that everything will transition smoothly. It will only be two weeks. I will come…to you. I promise." She stated softly as she felt the wall against her back side and Shockwave closed in on her suddenly before she had a chance to get away.

"I will not allow you to leave. You belong to me." He informed her softly as his hands travelled up her arm slowly and his single optics held desire and something else that chilled Raven's spark.

"You have me my lord but I still have a responsibility to my commander." She tried to explain but feared she was losing him to the desire that was curling around them. It made her angry that he could make her feel this way and in a fit of rebellion she tried to push him away. "Shockwave…please why are you like this?" She finally cried when she couldn't break free from his hold.

"You belong to me and I will not let you go." Shockwave snarled as he shifted closer, his mask and optic retracting to reveal the harsh grimness of his face and Raven tried to recoil from him, as he leant over her smaller frame and licked at the shadow of her energon line just below her the skin of her nape. Raven tried to get away but he stilled by placing a hand in her hair and tugging until she cried out and stopped thrashing against him. Her arms came up and tried to pry his away so that she could escape but Shockwave pulled her hair back forcing her to look up as his mouth descended on hers. His mouth demanding, she tried to stop him but he bit her lip hard making her cry out, and Raven choked as his glossa probed violently against hers filling her mouth and licking her dermas.

Raven could hear her muffled pleas as she tried to stop the onslaught but Shockwave was determined to exercise his strength against her. He kept brutally kissing her and to Raven's shame she felt the heat stir deep within her core as a tear escape from her eyes. After what seemed hours Shockwave finally released her mouth as she panted against his face while he held her with his helm against her head.

"I want you now and I will not stop until I have you begging for me to overload you." He said softly. "You will submit to me in everything." He whispered even softer and Raven cried out as he suddenly jerked her away from the wall and pulled her toward the berth room.

"No I will not allow this." She yelled at him as fight became her most apparent weapon and she struggled against, even falling to the floor, as his grip loosen and she crawled to get away from him. She pulled up and lunged for the door but Shockwave stopped her as he grabbed her by her shirt, the soft cream fabric tearing, and Shockwave pulled her back and picked her up bridal style and carried her to the berth room.

"Shockwave, think about this. You are going to destroy what we have developed over this insane insecurity. I am not going to leave you. I only want to finish my mission." She tried to reason with him but as the door slid closed and he walked over while throwing her on the berth. She quickly scrambled to get away but he grabbed her by the leg while forcibly pulling her back. What was left of her shirt rode up and she quickly tried to pull it down only to be stopped by Shockwave as he took her wrists and pulled her up against the berth and secured her to the head board.

"No, please I don't want this. Please Shockwave not like this; this will only sever what we have been working for." Raven yelled at him as he slowly pulled down her pants along with her undergarments and Raven felt hot searing tears start to slide down into her hair as Shockwave gently parted her legs and dipped his helm to taste her. She pulled at the restraints but they securely held. "Shockwave please, I will interface with you but free me please." She softly cried trying to get his attention but then gasped as she felt her valve flood with lubricant as he dipped his glossa and deeply tasted her honeyed juices seeping out of her. Raven arched against him as she panted to take in more air to cool her body but when Shockwave slipped a finger inside of her she bucked violently nearly throwing him off but he gripped her bruising her hips as he held her firmly to the berth. He bent his helm to her once again and Raven cried out as he massage the inside of her valve with his fingers while slurping at her fluids at the same time. Raven cried out as sensation after sensation flooded her body and she was helpless against him as he stimulated her to a fevered pitch until she cried out in overload.

Raven came to after a few moments and realized that her emotional state and body had caused her to temporarily black out. She looked at Shockwave as he rose up to loom over her body carefully crawling up and capturing her lips with brutal intensity. She felt him pull one of her legs up against his waist as he swiftly slid into her and Raven cried out into his heated mouth plates as Shockwave began thrusting into her as his optics never left her face.

Raven cried and pleaded with him to stop, to let her hands free, anything to get him to stop; only Shockwave would not relent as he drove her higher and higher until she screamed in overload taking him with her. She heard the clicks and squirmed to get away as she saw him open his chest plates to reveal his spark.

"Shockwave, no! We agreed that the decision would be mutual. Shockwave…!" She cried as helplessly her spark responded to the light and energy that his was giving off. She screamed as his spark made contact with hers and she could see and feel every emotion emanating from him, every torture and rape that he had relished in, and every moment that Shockwave delighted in his vicious control. Raven cried out in pain and ecstasy as the heat and energy once again built up between them and she tried to resist the bond that Shockwave was forging with her but it was no use. Raven's spark was already calling to its future mate and she cried as overload overcame both of them.

When it was over, Raven laid on top of her bond mate as she silently cried. Shockwave held her firmly against his chassis, he had released her wrists soon after he came to from overload, and Raven now clutched at his sides as spasms still struck her body from the forced pleasure that Shockwave inflicted. Each spasm Shockwave gently stroked and soothed her with his hands and spark until she finally fell into a restless recharge.

"The twins look fine and their scan shows that they are developing at the correct pace. I do want to talk to you." Doc informed Allie as she finished dressing. Allie walked out from behind the dressing screen and took a seat next to the berth that she had previously occupied.

"What's up Doc?" She said and Doc rolled her eyes.

"Your blood and energon running in your lines is not stable. You pressure is up Allie." Doc told her seriously and Allie stopped smiling. "It would explain the headaches that you have been having and the problem is that it is not going down."

"What does this mean for me? Will I lose the twins?" Allie asked suddenly very scared.

"Allie, what's wrong?" Optimus asked through the bond and Allie clamped down her side of it for fear that it would upset him.

"No but you will have to relinquish all of your duties and responsibilities. I will send you information regarding what you will need to eat and drink as well as how much resting that you will need so that your pressure doesn't go up any more than necessary." Doc said but Allie was finding it harder and harder to listen as her processor went in shock. She had always worked, even carrying Roddy and Orion, and now she was being told not to work.

"Allie?" Doc called for the third time and Allie shook herself mentally as she focused on Doc.

"I'm sorry. I was processing what you were telling me." Allie replied.

"I was telling you that this is not a request but an order. There will be no more social dinners, part time working, or reports that will need your attention. You will be on berth rest until the twins are born and I will make you take it or I will tie you to your berth." Doc stated and Allie blinked at her while she grimaced from the idea of being stagnate. The door opened and Optimus and Megatron walked briskly in taking care not to knock over any equipment that Doc had out and was using.

"What is an order Doc?" Megatron asked as he took in Allie's expression and Doc's authorative stance.

"Allie is being placed on bed rest." Doc stated flatly as she looked at both mechs. "She will need extra rest and no stress whatsoever from anything."

"I understand but why?" Optimus asked.

"Doc please, can we discuss this between us first." Allie promptly asked looking between Optimus and Megatron.

"Megatron do you mind stepping out?" Doc asked as she took in Allie's face.

"Optimus?" Allie said before giving Megatron a chance to respond.

"Allie, he is the sire. He has a right to stay." Doc said gently and Allie looked at her in alarm.

"Allie, it's alright. I am right here." Optimus said as he came around and gently took her in his arms. He could feel her tension as he placed her body against his.

"Optimus, I will see you later." Megatron informed him and turned to walk out.

"Thank you brother. I will take you up on that." Optimus told him as Megatron left and the door closed. Optimus looked back at Doc. "Why is she being placed on berth rest? Are the twins alright?"

"The twins are developing well but Allie is having trouble with the pressure on her blood and energon lines. This can become dangerous and cause her to bleed out if she was to go in labor. It can cause her to have an early labor and I fear that that may happen. She will need to stay off her feet to keep the swelling down." Doc turned back and picked up a data pad. "This will help explain the next phase of her carrying. It lists out what she will need to eat and drink as well as what rest she will need."

"I understand Doc." Optimus said as he took the pad from Doc.

"Do I have a say in this?" Allie asked them. She looked at Doc and then up at Optimus.

"Allie, there is not a lot of choice about this. I suggest that you hired a full time nanny for Orion and Roddy because you will not be able to pick them up." Doc said. "Allie, this is an order. No work or I will tie you to a berth." Allie closed her eyes feeling the rush of emotion consuming her as she thought of the long days and night ahead of her.

"I expect that you will be here later?' Shockwave asked as he turned back to look at Raven. It was nice to feel her presence in his spark even if she was still in shock from their bonding.

"Yes, my lord I will stay." She said quietly, meekly, as she lowered her gaze to her feet. Raven wanted to start crying again but she refused to allow the tears to fall. She had cried enough and now she had to figure out how to finish her mission without angering her mate further. She had seen through their bond what he was capable of and she was afraid to anger him and him turn on her.

"Good, I have a meeting with Lord Megatron and then I will be back in an hour. I expect you to be here waiting for me and we will continue our mutual pleasure as well as deepening our bond." He told her smoothly and Raven tried not to cringe as he turned and left.

Raven took a deep and shuddering breath to let out the tension that she had been holding in. She had wanted this relationship and now she was trapped. It angered her that he used his loneliness to trap her but now she needed to plan out how to go about this or he would try to break her and mold her into the perfect bond mate therefore her free will being replaced with a lifeless drone that only served him. It would take careful planning but first she needed to finish her mission so that others would not be hurt or killed and that was what she had to concentrate on first.
