The Humanoid Prime
Chapter 16
Lucinda's POV
Ever since I can remember, my father always used to tell me about the impulse he felt every time he held me when I was a sparkling. Every time he held me and looked down at my face, nothing else in any galaxy known mattered; not the war, not any cannon he had ever owned. All that mattered was us. Him. Me.
Father has never been one for showing his emotions to others, but he was had an exception for me he tells me. He never understood his feelings for me either; just that he would catch a new born star to make me smile.
And after time and time again, I still never understood what he meant. It will happen when you are blessed with your own, father told me. But still….. Having such feelings when just looking at another being. I never understood.
Until now.
Two little hands with ten tiny fingers
Two squishy little feet and ten wiggly toes
And two beautiful eyes
Here he is.
He
My son
My everything.
It had only been three days since he first arrived to this broken world; and for those three days I couldn't help but to stare at him. Every little bit of him was perfect. He is perfect. And always will be to me.
Soundwave left for the city the day he was born and brought the supplies we would need for a little while. How he was able to purchase humanized sparkling supplies? He said I didn't need to know. But, as true to his word he has been here for us.
Even though I knew Soundwave was a silent bot, I don't think he has ever been so silent and curious to another being like he was to Everest.
Everest is known on Earth (habituated by Humans) for being the largest mountain. Ever! People from all over their world come to see and climb the mountain. It's also known for its beauty I read from my Earth studies. It's magnificent. Glorious. Something to be proud of.
That is exactly what I believe my son is. Something to be proud of.
Everest Prime
Though he may be a Prime, he does show some similarities to his father. The little bit of hair Everest has is a dark purple with a slight blue tinge to it too. Just like Soundwave. Also his eyes….. The exact copy of my own, with violet outlines. Just like his father.
Perfection
On the third morning of Everest's birth, Soundwave announced it was no longer safe for us to stay here; not while we were on our own near Kaon.
"I can take you both two miles near the base I found you, but that's as far as I can go before they detect me."
He said as he looked down at me and Everest in his true form, our son safely secured in my arms.
"Alright. Soundwave?"
"Hmm?"
"I wanted to thank you. For everything! And I don't just mean for bringing Everest to us, but for your hospitality and for helping to change our world. Maybe for good." I smiled up to him.
And of course, being the silent mech that he is….. All I got for a response was a nod.
"May I ask a favour before we go?"
"And that is?"
"I would like to make a call first."
"Make it quick. We leave in two clicks." Then walked away to gather our belongings.
I sat down on an old mattress while still holding my son. As I looked down at him, he was cooing while staring right back at me. I pressed one on my pad and waiting for the bot to answer.
"Daddy? Can you pick us up? It's a long story."
