Woot, another chapter is finished and posted! :3 I'm on a roll people! And God, my summer vacation is almost over.

You should play this song while reading: Beethoven – Moonlight Sonata.

After I got the gifts from Nicole and Bumblebee, I took off the wig and decided to take a nap. I didn't like the fact that I was sleeping a lot longer than I ever would, but that was just the way it is. I didn't have a say in the matter.

...

I woke up once by the sudden shifting on my couch. When I opened my eyes and saw that it was Ron settling himself in our 'sleeping' position on the couch; basically, me sleeping over him, I relaxed and lay over him.

"Sorry to wake you up." he apologized, kissing the top of my head.

I tucked my head under his chin, like I always did. "It's alright." I closed my eyes once more to go back to sleeping.

After what seemed mere seconds after I closed my eyes, I felt heart pain. Strong heart pain. Like a heart attack.

Opening my eyes, I got off Ironhide immediately, I sat up and breathed loudly, grasping for air. Everything happened so quickly. My hand instinctively went to where my heart was and pulled the shirt, as if that way I would set the heart free of the pain. But no, the pain didn't stop. It increased.

A scream escaped my lips as Ron tried whatever he could to help me. But he couldn't do anything. I tried to press my hands against my chest, to repress the pain, but it didn't help at all. I felt a tear, forged from pain, fall down on my leg.

The pain was excruciating. It almost made me see the stars. But then it just stopped. The same way it started, suddenly, it stopped. No pain whatsoever. I tried to calm myself, but I couldn't. My heart almost stopped and I got a feel of what Ratchet was talking about.

This was the clogging. This was going to kill me!

"Mel. Mel, it's alright. You're fine." Ron just rubbed my back and put my shirt back in place.

"I..." Completely calm outside, but inside I had a billion thoughts. One thought prevailed: death. Let's face it. There was no escaping it. I stared at the blank space before me, biting my lower lip. Water formed in my eyes once more. "I'm gonna die." A small whine escaped my voice as a tear slid free.

I could feel Ron's hand on mine. "You're not going to die. Stop thinking that."

"How can I stop, Ironhide? Tell me how!" I whipped my head to face him, another tear flying from the sudden movement. My whole body shivered, "Do you know what just happened? My heart stopped!" I yelled at him.

"So it's my fault?"

"I never said it was your fault!" Can't he understand what I'm saying? "I'm saying that I'm going to DIE, Ironhide!" a loud, body shaking sob resounded. I bowed my head. I couldn't look at him. "It's going to happen, Ironhide. I can feel it." My chest tightened and my throat felt like it was closing in on itself.

"Don't say that. You'll survive, just like you did many times." he wanted to reassure me, but I only heard them as empty words.

I shook my head. "I always had help then. Now, I don't. And now…" I didn't want to say it again. I didn't want to embrace it, as much as I had to, I didn't want to.

"Shh…" he soothed, pulling me to him into a hug. "You'll be fine." But suddenly, his hug got stiff, his body went stiff, as if he realized something.

I pulled away. "As much as I like hearing you say that, you and I both know that's not going to happen. The end is coming, Hide." I sighed, "My end is coming." I felt a lump in my throat.

His gaze fell to the ground. "We'll get you fixed. Even if it's the last thing I do." He vowed.

My head started to hurt. I swallowed harshly, my throat hurting. I looked at him, mentally begging him to look back at me. "All I want you to do," he looked back at me, those piercing blue eyes making it hard for me to say the rest of the sentence. I didn't want to let go of looking into those eyes, "is to prepare, to get yourself ready. If you find me," I started sobbing again, paining, "on the couch and not moving…" I went back to hug him, "I want you to know that I love you. And I don't want to leave you." More tears fell over him, over me.

"Mel, please stop saying that." he was paining because of me. He was the only person I could tell my deepest secrets to, and I felt so bad for doing this to him. I wanted to bury the pain inside of me. I didn't want him to pain for me.

"It's true. I'm scared, Ironhide. I don't want to die." I couldn't hold back the tears that kept coming. Nothing could cheer me up, now. "I don't know why this happened to me, me, and I'm afraid that I won't get better." There was little Ironhide could do. All his attempts of cheering me up have been futile, and I've dismissed them as if he had never said the words of compassion and reassurance. I'm so foolish. "I'm sorry." I apologized and shook my head.

"For what, exactly, are you apologizing?" the confusion in his voice was completely evident.

"For putting pressure on you." I bowed my head and wiped my eyes. They started to sting.

"Mel, my dearest, you are not putting pressure on me, I swear to Primus." His hands brought my chin up, and his lips met mine. He was the worst of timers, but I enjoyed it. As I closed my eyes, a tear fell once more.

The kiss ended with a soft smooching sound. His forehead pressed onto mine, in a form of a Cybertronian kiss. "Even if you pass into the Matrix..." he paused, the words heavy for him to say, "I only want the best for you. If ending your pain means for you to pass into the Matrix, so be it. I don't want you to hurt anymore. We will meet again." He vowed once more, his voice was raspy with pain, in a way I've never heard it before.

I opened my eyes and brought up a hand to his cheek. His eyes opened, at the feeling my touch. "I… I want to do something." I didn't know why I brought this up. It felt right.

"What is it?" he quietly said.

"I want to seal our relationship." I breathed.

"How?" he looked into my eyes. I smiled. I kissed the space between his eyes.

"I want to make love to you." It just felt so easy to say it.

His lips that were formed in a straight line, broke apart into a smile. "Are you sure?"

I nodded happily, my mood changing quickly. I got excited. "Yes, I'm sure. I love you too much to let this pass. I want to do it."

And we started to do it. Slowly, gently, checking if anyone was in the house, that was the primary thing. My family was sleeping and so were Nic and Bee. "Where now? The house is occupied." Ironhide stated, picking me up from my bed, fireman style.

An idea came to my mind. "Your alt, silly." I snuggled my head against his as I hugged him around the neck.

He got out of the house, quietly, and walked on the gravel soundlessly. By the looks of the other Autobots, they were sleeping. "No, not in my alt." he smirked.

"No? Then where?"

"To a special place. We want to seal this moment, don't we?" he grinned and so did I. He set me in the passenger seat and disappeared after closing the door. He reappeared on the driver's seat. The engine turned on quietly, as not to disturb the others as he as silently as possible, rolled out off the gravel and drove to the said 'special' place.

"So where is this 'special place'?" I questioned.

"You'll recognize it." He grinned. "You might want to take a nap in the meantime. It'll be a while until we get there."

I shook my head. "No, I want to be awake. I want to remember this for the rest of my life." Even if I didn't have much time left in it.

And stood awake I did. I watched every corner we turned on, every pedestrian that walked, every stoplight we stopped at. I embraced it all. But most of all, I looked at Ironhide. At his features.

At his straight nose, his strong jaw line, his beautifully carved body, his blue eyes, his soft lips, his gentle hands… Every inch of him, I loved it, kissed it, lived to see it everyday. And everyday I saw him, everyday he kissed me, every time we did something together, I was grateful. Grateful that I had found someone to love forever. Someone I couldn't get mad at. Someone I'd love until I died.

Even if that someone was a different being, by all means, the love we shared was unique.

A couple of hours later, Ironhide was driving on a flat road, perfectly paved. He suddenly started braking, reducing speed and getting off the road and onto a patch of grass. A big patch of grass. A meadow.

I was a little confused by the action, but kept looking around at the night, the only light giving the headlights of his alt mode. We were nearing a forest, but we weren't getting into the forest. No, Ironhide stopped the vehicle near a ripped out and placed tree trunk. The light of his headlights reflected in the crystal clear lake.

The door opened for me as I slowly got out of the truck. Ironhide initiated his transformation sequence and exposed his true form. I haven't seen it in a long time, but I always loved looking at it. His holoform appeared in front of me, slowly as not to startle me.

"I know this place!" This was where he and I 'officially' kissed. Where we decided to be together. I couldn't believe he actually remembered the place!

Pumped by adrenaline and excited, I ran up to him in a hug, forgetting about my disease for the night. I didn't need it haunting my thoughts. He swerved me in a hug, sweeping me off my feet, our lips colliding.

I took off his shirt as he kept his arms around me. The warmth of his holoform was incredible, almost like a real human body. We fell on the ground, the night was warm and silent, with crickets quietly resounding in the distance. The moon lighted us slightly, giving us just enough light to see who had less clothing on.

My bottom gym suit was off in a second and the top of my blouse was patiently worked by Ron's slim fingers. He pulled the shirt away as we kept kissing each other, the kisses getting lower to certain body parts.

I felt his lips on my breasts, through my bra, I suddenly turned around, expecting him to take my bra off, which, by some miracle, he knew how.

We slowed down there. My back was turned against him, my head turned to the left, my chin almost touching my shoulder. I felt Ron's lips kissing me from my neck to my shoulder, as my bra slipped from his hands, slipped from my breasts.

I turned around towards him, crouching down and taking off his jeans. They slipped down, revealing his bulge, and I knew he was as excited as I was.

We took off each other's undergarments, our naked bodies one against the other in the quiet night. But for us, it was going to become a very wild night.

We fell on the ground, the soft grass embracing our fall. Ron's soft kisses went from my lips, to my chin, to my neck, to my chest… going ever lower and not stopping.

"You ready?" his seductive low voice 'warned' of what was about to come. I nodded.

And before I even knew it, his hips found their way in between my legs and his bulge went inside of me. Inside, outside, inside, outside in a never stopping motion.

I gasped loudly, each body shaking motion stronger and wilder, faster. It hurts but at the same time fulfills.

His enormous hands kept my body in place as he positioned his for a perfect entrance. I felt it coming. Oh, I felt it coming. Ron kept doing his thing, harder, deeper. And once he reached the top, the end, stars exploded in my mind. The orgasm I was experiencing was more than any drug could do, one of the best feelings in the world.

He kept on and on, going in and out of me as my hands found their way around his neck, pulling me closer to him so he could push into me harder.

My God the feeling… It was unforgettable. It was incredible. It was unexplainable.

Ron was worn out as he fell on the grass beside me, both of us breathing loudly, running out of air, and still thinking on the orgasm he and I were both feeling.

"That… was… amazing…" he barely said it, panting. I chuckled, turning over and falling over his naked body.

"Enjoying... yourself?" I smiled and kissed him on the lips, deeply.

"More than ever." He grinned. I grinned with him. I rested my head on his chest. His chest rose and fell with each breath, just like it would have if he had been a real human.

Real human. Something clicked in my mind.

My hands found their way beside him as I moved my torso from him. "Ron, this may sound dumb, but is it possible for me to get pregnant?" I didn't know how on Earth would I get pregnant with a holoform, but I had to ask.

"I don't know. Ratchet updated the holoforms a while ago. Said they were perfected. But I don't think you could get impregnated." He shook his head.

I sighed in relief. "Okay then." I relaxed. His hands went around my waist, petting the soft skin on my back as he hugged me lovingly. "Hey Ron."

He looked at me. "Hmm?"

"Love you." I grinned. His smile broke into a delighted grin as he swooped me over to the ground with a fevered kiss. Round two was about to begin.

Well that's a sudden change of emotions and a sudden change of action. I hope you liked this. I tried to make the sad parts as sad as possible and the love making scene wasn't something I planned to write. Yes, this is an M rated story, but my mind doesn't really wander to such places.

This is like 'Special Edition' chapter or something. Once in a story. But this event IS going to have an impact on the story in the future. I hoped you like this, please tell me what you think of this?

And by the way, I suck at writing sex stories, I don't like reading them (much less writing them) but it was a necessary thing.
