(I've lost track of how long into pregnancy Karly is so I'm just going to guess about 4 months maybe 5. XD I'm going to start putting how far along she is at the top of the chapter for reasons)

~Four Months into Pregnancy~

Soundwave:

It had been a week since he had gone shopping for sparkling items with his femme. Recently Karly has become even more weak, and it wasn't normal, that much he knew.

"Karly get up, you need to see Ratchet." He crooned to her as she cried softly in her discomfort.

"I can't, it hurts." She whimpered.

Soundwave's spark clenched painfully knowing his femme was in pain. He lifted her up carefully into his arms, and instantly she curled up to his holoform's chest as he opened a ground-bridge and carried her through.

"Hey its Soundwave and Karly!" He heard one of the humans shout energetically, the source no doubt Miko.

Everyone's attention turned to them but he paid them no mind as he took Karly over to Ratchet, whom without needing to be told what to do lifted her up. Ratchet carefully began to scan his femme over as she sat there holding her stomach, a pained look on her face.

As Ratchet did that, he turned his holoform off and walked through the portal in his true form. He went to Karly's side and watched as Ratchet tended to her.

"There are some complications." Ratchet said after a long moment making his spark stall in its casing.

He waited for him to continue.

"The sparkling needs energon, despite our efforts to make sure your holoform could only produce human sparklings, it would seem there is still enough Cybertronian in the DNA to make a difference. Because of the sparkling's need for energon, its becoming weak, and its effecting Karly as well. " He said looking over at him.

He felt his energon run cold, and his frame shutter with...dare he say it, fear...? Then Ratchet ended the silence with his next line:

"Luckily Knockout and I have been prepared for something like this." He said as he turned away and grabbed something.

He set a small jar within his servo and looked at him seriously.

"This is an altered pregnancy vitamin to help Karly and the sparkling, it has very low doses of medical energon. You don't need to worry about it effecting her negatively, it would seem she has a low emotion of energon within her as it is. Which she got from you." Ratchet said as Karly turned to them and watched them with exhaustion.

Primus it broke his spark to see her in such a state.

"How did I get the energon?" She questioned weakly.

Ratchet looked down at her.

"I would assume when the two of you interface, his holoform still has traces of energon like it said, so it's likely it found its way into you through his s..." He said before Karly cut him off.

"I get it." She said quickly, causing a trickle of amusement to go through him.

At least she still has enough energy to be herself.

"So lets cut to the chase please, I'm tired as fuck, and I'm starting to feel hungry." Karly complained causing a few of the nearby mechs to snicker.

"Very well." Ratchet vented with an optic roll.

"Make sure she takes 2 tablets three times a day, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It must be before she eats." Ratchet advised as Knockout stalked up.

"And ensure your femme gets plenty of fluids, and gets foods high in protein and carbolhydrates." Knockout said as he looked at his claws in a nonchalant manner.

Storing all of the information he was told in his memory banks he gathered Karly up in her servo and held her to his chassis.

"Awh she can't stay?!" Miko exclaimed in a pout from where she sat on Bulkhead's shoulder.

"No Miko, she's no feeling well, you heard them." Bulkhead said as she huffed.

"I hope you begin to feel better soon." Raf said as Karly gave a thumbs up.

"I'll try." She said giving a weak grin, but he could tell by the way she shifted and gritted her teeth she was still in discomfort.

Without saying anything, he opened the ground-bridge and walked through, making sure his femme was safely sitting in his servos. Once on the other side of the ground-bridge he walked over to her berth an gently laid her down in it as he kneeled down. She crawled under the blankets and smiled up at him weakling but lovingly as she held a hand up. Knowing what she wanted he brought his face closer to where he hand touched his face-mask.

"We'll be fine, I promise." She said softly.

"I can tell the past week we've been worrying yourself sick, I know I can't make you stop worrying completely...But don't drive yourself mad okay love?" She said as she sat up and kissed his screen then laid back down.

"Our baby is already becoming active, just think, here soon he or she will come into the world to meet us finally." She said looking up at him excitedly.

His spark fluttered with excitement and he pulled away as Karly shut her eyes and fell asleep. He watched her for several long moments, and as he thought over a few things, he couldn't help but feel slightly guilty.

She was still so young, and she was already in a comitted relationship and was carrying. Most femmes didn't get in a committed relationship until they were in their late twenties. He had once voiced this to her, and she waved him off, claiming she was happy with how things were. Which did slightly put him at ease, but he couldn't help but overthink things.

Perhaps some recharge will do him some good.

He hadn't properly recharge in a week, too worried to leave Karly's side despite his creations trying to get him to go recharge while they watched over her. Now that he had taken her to see Ratchet, he felt a little more comfortable to leave her side and recharge for a short bit.
