The reviews have been very positive and I enjoy reading them. Thank you so much. I haven't been writing as much because I have been so busy but I promise to finish this series. I hope that I am not writing them too out of canon but I think that peace would change both sides along with having families.
Please take a moment to review if this is your first time. I love to personally let people know about updates and discuss maybe an idea or two. Enjoy!
Soundwave was sitting on the couch down in the lower level of their home as the sparklings and cassettes played in the rumpus room upstairs. Cassie had combined the twins and the triplets into sharing rooms with each other therefore leaving a room free for them to play in. After having the constructicons for dinner and feeding them all sorts of goodies they had agreed to reinforce the room with blast shields and all kinds of simple but effective tools so that they could play to their sparks content and not destroy the rest of the house. Soundwave liked that it was sound proof and that all he needed was to listen to the creator/creation bond to know that his little ones were safe and had not killed each other.
Doc was not thrilled with the house calls that she and Ratchet made at least three times a week but Cassie always made sure to have rust sticks and other bribes around the house for Red Alert so that he would cry if he didn't get to come and play with the rest of the madness that had been termed Soundwave's house of Pit, and Soundwave never seemed to be able to dodge the occasional wrench thrown his way to remind him of all the dings and scrapes that Doc and Ratchet had to remove off of Red Alert's chassis. It was hell but it was home and he and Cassie settled for the occasional quiet solitude that was gifted to them since the rumpus room had been established.
So far, Soundwave had become the favorite for all sparklings, younglings, and even most adult mechs in the Hall since Cassie had established the rumpus room and entertainment area in the basement and her quarterly parties along with Sideswipes high grade was herald as a gift from Primus. The only femme that seemed to surpass his mate in social activities was Allie's political calendar but it was not near as fun for the mechs and femmes on the base. It was ironic that Soundwave himself was considered an isolated mech by choice. He just wasn't interested in all the planning and preparation of his darling mate's eager enthusiasm for parties, and it wasn't fair that he was always in the middle of the social agendas and having to make polite talk when it just wasn't in his nature.
Even now Storm, Roddy, Orion, Stronghide, and First Aid were playing their sparks away as Seaway supervised with the cassettes and sparklings as Soundwave relished his alone time while waiting for Cassie to come home. All fifteen had been upstairs for the last hour and Soundwave expelled air from his vents because the responsible side of him was struggling with the go to the pit side of him over fixing dinner and surprising his mate or just staying on the couch and waste away like a couch mech who just didn't care.
"Hey sweet spark." Cassie yelled it as she ran inside. She stopped only long enough to bend down and kiss Soundwave's helm before running up the five steps to the kitchen. Soundwave blinked his optics beneath his visor, stood, and followed his mate up the stairs.
"Cassie, how was work today?" Soundwave inquired as he stopped and watched her take a glass top off of a pot that was plugged into an electrical outlet. Soundwave could smell the warm energon and wondered why he had missed the pot earlier when he had walked through the house after work. Soundwave also noticed a box that Cassie had brought in from the transport sitting on the counter and as Cassie stirred the contents of the pot she was also pulling plates and glasses, many of them, out from the cabinets above the sink. Soundwave counted quickly seeing that there were more than just enough for the family and he looked at her wondering what she was keeping from him. She smiled her sultry, sexy smile that always tripled the pulsations of his spark and Soundwave once again counted his blessings that Primus had given her back to him.
"It's quiet tonight. Are the sparklings playing in the rumpus room?" She said as she turned and headed for the dining table.
"Seaway is with them and yes they are upstairs." Soundwave replied. "Are we having company?"
"Optimus, Megatron, and Ratchet are on their way with their mates while Ironhide and Mia would be coming as soon as Ironhide finished his shift. I invited them to dinner since they had to come by and pick up their sparklings. I hope that it is alright with you. I know how you like your privacy but I sometimes like to gather socially and we have not accepted the last three invites for dinners or parties." Cassie told him and Soundwave started to turn away guiltily but then stopped when he realized that he had done nothing to feel guilty about.
"Will we be able to fit everyone at the table?" He asked her as he watched her set up all the little pieces of dinnerware that she loved to collect.
"We will be able to fit the adults at the main dining table and I will set up the smaller table for our sparklings." Cassie calmly replied as she set the table with great pride and care. "I asked Rumble to come down and set up the table for all of his friends and siblings. He asked Frenzy to help fetch it from the office."
"You think that this is wise?" Soundwave picked up the glasses and brought them to Cassie.
"It will keep them out of trouble. By the way, have you seen First Aid?" Cassie asked her amusement in her voice as she gently took the glasses and placed them next to each individual dinnerware.
"No why?" Soundwave asked curiously. He wondered fleetingly if he should fear Ratchet and Doc but decided that what the younglings did was no concern of his.
"I heard a bit of chatter from the twin terrors and them I received an image of iridescent pink paint. That's all." Cassie commented and Soundwave cringed at the image. They would definitely get the round end of a ratchet from one of the medics and Soundwave would not be letting them dock within him tonight.
"Maybe suggest that Rumble and Frenzy visit the wash racks with First Aid?" Soundwave half commented, half requested of his mate and Cassie laughed.
"I think that it is too late for a washing but I do suggest that we don't seat them too close to the other sparklings for I would hate for Ratchet's aim be off for the first time in the history of any of us knowing him." Cassie murmured over her shoulder as she added the finishing touches to the table and then placed the warm energon on the table along with the assortment of oil cakes and energon treats.
"Ratchet never misses nor does Doc." Soundwave commented thoughtfully.
"No but this will be the first time that any one has messed with their precious prodigy and sparkling and I for one don't want to be close when one or both of them explode." Cassie turned and wrapped her arms around Soundwave's waist. "I adore you, my spark."
"I worship you my love." Soundwave returned as he retracted his mask and proceeded to kiss his mate senseless.

"Hey Mirage," Hound shook Mirage's shoulder plate and Mirage turned toward his friend.
"Yes, what is it." Mirage answered in his smooth, suave, cultured voice of a proud towers mech.
"Is that her?" Hound asked as he subtlety pointed at the white haired femme as she walked gracefully off the transport. Mirage looked carefully at her and realized that the beautiful, unusual femme would be checking in and Mirage could not stop the sudden leap that had occurred in his spark. He had seen her a month before and followed her to her quarters but he used his cloaking to disguise himself because he was not ready to approach her until he was sure that he was interested. Her hair was so different from the others and she seemed so gentle compared most of the femmes that worked in the Hall or on the tarmac and she was intriguing to Mirage. She walked with such grace and held her head high as she smiled at each mech or femme as she passed by them on her way to the private wing where the officers' quarters were located.
"What do you see in her?" Hound asked as he watched the femme.
"I don't know. She is different." Mirage replied as she stopped and talked to Mia on the tarmac before both turned together and strolled through the double doors to the quarters.
"She looks like any other femme in the Hall." Hound said flatly and turned to resume his duties unloading the transport from Moon base 5.
"Maybe," Mirage murmured but still he watched the doors that the two femmes disappeared through.

Raven walked into her quarters tired and drained. She placed her case on the chair next to the dresser and walked slowly to the wash racks. Raven turned on the water as she stripped her clothing from her tired grimy body and stepped into the hot spray of the shower. She sighed as she began to complete the daily ritual of cleaning herself as the hot water soothed the ache in her joints and eased the tension that she felt as she returned to the Hall. Megatron purposely kept her out two extra weeks and Raven worried that her mate would not be happy. She rinsed the soap from her body as she thought about Shockwave.
Her pulsed raced when he was near but Raven knew that she also felt fear that was not healthy in their relationship. He excited her and he terrified her and now that she worked four weeks away from her she realized that if given the choice she would never have willingly bonded with him if given the choice. Raven also felt that Shockwave knew that and it was why he had rape and forced her into a bond. It boggled her processor that the bond even took and why under the circumstances, but only Primus could answer that question. Raven also could feel the nerves as she knew that her spark mate was close. Raven wondered why he had not been on the tarmac to greet her but then she was tired and was not ready to face him when she didn't know how to greet him. Not many knew of their relationship and Megatron promised not to tell the command staff until she was ready to make it public.
Raven stepped out and wrapped a towel around her body as she dried her hair with a fluffy white towel. It was one of the few luxuries that she allowed herself and she took her time as she carefully combed out the white strands and then combed it back away from her face. She twirled around and headed out the door but stopped suddenly when she saw Shockwave sitting in the chair that she had left her case in.
"Shockwave," Raven whispered as she stood transfixed to the spot on the floor. He hands fluttered to her spark, a nervous gesture which Shockwave did not miss.
"You did not return my dear. I was beginning to worry." He said in his smooth evil voice and Raven's spark pulsed erratically in her chest. "I do not like it when my possessions return late." He stood and Raven backed away.
"I am not a possession." Raven replied quietly. She suddenly regretted that she left her fresh clothing on the berth and could not get out the door without causing a scene. She couldn't help the rapid intake of air as she backed away until her back was against the far wall of the berth room and Shockwave stood just out of reach stalking her with his predatory optic.
"You are my bond mate and therefore belong to me." He stated softly and then lunged toward her and grabbed her by the neck. Raven panicked as she clawed at his hand but he was bigger and stronger and Raven felt fear curl in the bottom of her mid-section. Shockwave dragged her toward the berth and Raven steeled herself for the inevitable as she tried to break the hold that he claimed on her neck. His claws tugged tighter and Raven gasped for air panicking and fighting against him as Shockwave suddenly released her and threw her on the berth.
"Shockwave please don't do this." Raven cried out but her pleas only landed on a deaf audial as Shockwave pulled out stasis cuffs from his subspace. Raven struggled against him and managed to pull away only for Shockwave grabbed the bottom of the towel and pulling her back to him. Raven turned over and cried out as she felt the back of his hand make blinding white pain with her cheek and splitting her lip.
"Be still!" He snarled as he rolled her back over on her abdomen and pulled her arms to the head of the berth. She couldn't stop him from placing the cuffs around her wrists and locking them to the headboard. Raven kept struggling as the towel was pulled away from her body and Raven began to cry in earnest.
"Shockwave please don't do this." Raven whispered trying again hoping to reason with him as he pulled her legs apart to sit between them, Shockwave using his left knee to push up against her valve and port, effectively trapping her between her bound wrists and his body. She couldn't stop from shaking and Raven tried to open her end of the bond when Shockwave refused to reply to her pleas, and Raven cried harder when he kept his end tightly closed.
"You will learn my dear that obedience is essential in a relationship. I promise that you will remember your punishment and not forget that you belong only to me." Raven heard his words and could not stop the trembling as she heard Shockwave open his subspace. The first lash with the short cropped whip was the worst and Raven yelled in surprise and fear as she felt the second and then another until the lashes became a blur as she struggled to get away from the worst blows. Shockwave kept a steady pace or raining down blow after blow and Raven thought she might pass out if he didn't stop.
When the lashes finally stopped Raven was too winded from the pain to care. She felt him spread her legs further and then cried out as he roughly entered her dry valve.
"No please," she barely whispered as Shockwave grunted with each painful thrust ignorant of her cries as he took his pleasure. Raven felt the tears fall with each painful thrust. She couldn't get away since Shockwave had not released her wrists and as Shockwave leaned over her sore backside and aft Raven tensed as she heard his shallow grunts, the air hissing through his vents, and prayed that he was almost through.
Shockwave grabbed Raven by the waist and pulled her tighter into him as he thrust harder and Raven yelled out against the shock of the pain. There had finally been some lubricant whether from her valve or from a tear, she didn't care which, only when would it finally stop. She felt him stiffen and hoped that this would be the end and she was right, or so she thought as she heard Shockwave groan and then pull her tightly against him as he overloaded and then slumped over her body. Raven cried quietly as she bore his massive weight and waited for him to get off her.
After a short while she felt him shift as he slowly rose up before releasing her wrists and Raven quickly pulled back as she rubbed her sore arms. Raven tried to move away from her mate only to have him grab her hair and pull her up against his chassis. She could feel the heat of his body against her back and aft as his other hand came around to stroke her breasts and stomach before sliding lower to hook his claw like fingers in her valve.
"Oh no my dear, we are only beginning. I have not had enough of you and I want to enjoy this." Shockwave growled softly in her ear and Raven moaned from the pain that he was inflicting on her head. Her sore valve protested his touch but there was nothing she could do as he forced her to arch against him until Raven thought he would break her in two. He rubbed his fingers in her and then proceeded to move to her port.
"Please, no not that!" She whimpered but Shockwave took no heed as she felt him line up his spike and then forced entrance into her port. "No!" She wailed as he lifted her by her waist and then pulled her down hard so that he was sheathed to the hilt inside her. His hand went to cup her from the front between her legs as his third finger slid into the valve once more.
"You will learn total obedience to me my darling and you will never forget it." He snarled into her ear and Raven cried as he once more proceeded to torture her into submission.
