Chapter 38
At some point during the drive, Anwen fell asleep. She would have likely slept for another hour or two had the familiar cramping in her uterus not woken her up. 'Oh merde (fuck), why now,' she mentally questioned.
:Hey, Ani. How was your recharge?:
"O-Oh, it was fine. Merci, Sideswipe." With a blush, she then asked, "Would it be alright if we stopped for a little rest? I need to use the facilities and I'm sure Kenobi could stand to go to the bathroom again."
Knowing her monthly bleed was occurring (thanks to his heightened senses), he tilted his rearview mirror in acknowledgment. :Sure thing, sweetspark. We're about five miles from a rest stop if you two would also like to change out of your sleepwear,: he noted with a smile in his tone.
At his comment, both siblings took a glance at their attire and realized that neither of them had actually dressed before they left the Chateau. Of course, at the time, they wanted to leave as quickly as possible. Appearances be damned. Liam casually sported an old ARMY t-shirt and a pair of Deadpool lounging pants, while Anwen wore her Golden Girls 'Stay Golden' tank top and a pair of Invader Zim lounging pants (featuring Gir with tacos).
With a chuckle, the Major answered, "I think I could stand to change out of my loungers. What about you, Lottie?"
A smirk lined her freckled face as she shook her head and gestured to her pants, "Oh non (_ no), these bad boys are staying on for the remainder of the drive."
"Assez juste (Fair enough)."
After a few minutes, they pulled into the rest area, to which Liam offered to walk Kenobi while Anwen headed inside the women's bathroom with her backpack in tow. She mentally prayed that her panties were free of bloodstains and emitted a sigh of relief when she discovered that they were. Of course, had she waited any longer, that might not have been the case. On a side note, she was glad that she always kept some spare feminine products inside her backpack. The thought of having to call one of the guys and asking them to rummage through her duffel bag for a tampon and a pantie liner was too embarrassing to fathom. Sure, asking Liam wasn't that bad, but Sideswipe? She just couldn't bring herself to do it. Of course he would if she asked, but still…Noooo.
Shaking her head, Anwen exited the restroom after washing her hands and donning her backpack over her shoulder. Approaching her silver mech, she walked over to the trunk to retrieve something for her and Liam to eat. Unfortunately, they had already consumed the last of the pizza, so all there was in terms of consumables were two 48oz (3lb) cans of Tim Horton's coffee, a large bottle of bourbon (for Sideswipe and Sunstreaker), two large bottles of Canadian maple syrup, a bag of Ketchup chips, a bag of trail mix, some bottled waters, Kenobi's puppy food, and a large bag of elk jerky. With a frown, she opted to grab a couple waters and the jerky. 'I don't really want jerky, but nothing else looks appetizing at the moment and we can't afford to stop anywhere else right now,' she mentally told herself as she closed the trunk and slipped into the front seat after setting her bag down on the floor.
Seconds later, Liam approached with Kenobi happily trotting beside him, "Well, he's empty. I already rewarded him for doing his business, so I'm gonna leave him with you two while I head inside and change out of my loungewear."
"Bien (Alright). Don't take too long."
"Je ne vais pas (I won't)," he smirked before handing her the little pup and grabbing a change of pants from the trunk.
Once he left, Anwen emitted a sigh and leaned back in the seat while she began to gently stroke Kenobi's soft fur. :You okay sweetspark,: Sideswipe's voice chimed in through the speakers, to which she nodded and smiled up at the rearview mirror.
"Oui I'm fine. Although, I wish Sunstreaker was here with us. I'm worried about him."
:He'll be alright. Sunny's a tough mech who can handle himself: He then activated his holoform behind/underneath her, to where she was now sitting on his lap (while Kenobi sat on hers). "By the way, he asked me to give you something to 'tide you over' until he returns."
"Oh? And what might that be," she playfully questioned as he brushed her hair aside to expose her ear and the right side of her neck.
"This," he lustfully whispered while trailing soft kisses along her earlobe and down her neck as his hands slid underneath her shirt and cupped her soft, rounded breasts. Of course, he wouldn't have done any of this had they not been the only ones in the area. Granted, Liam was inside the bathroom, but they were the only vehicle in the parking lot.
Closing her eyes, Anwen allowed him to enrapture her body as she was currently at his mercy. If she didn't have Kenobi on her lap or her brother to worry about walking in on them, she'd be conducting her own form of pleasurable torture. But for now, she allowed herself to be submissive. "..Mmm..Sideswipe…you're not playing fa-Air," she gasped as he suddenly bit her neck, ensuring that it would leave a mark.
With a smile, the frontliner planted a tender kiss upon the branded area, "Sorry, sweetspark; I was just following Sunny's request."
"Oh s'il te plait (_ please), you've wanted to do that this entire trip."
"I admit that the thought did cross my processor once or twice," he lightly chuckled before dismissing his holoform as Liam was exiting the restroom and approaching with his lounging pants in hand. :We'll have to continue this exchange at a later time.:
"Hmm, oui nous le ferons (_, yes we will)," she winked as her brother placed his loungewear in the trunk before opening the door and slipping into the driver's seat as Sideswipe buckled him in and closed the door.
"Salut les tourtereaux (Hello lovebirds), are we ready to hit the road again?"
*sigh* "Oui. I just hope the weather lets up. The snow is coming down rather hard and we're not even in the states yet."
:Well the border is coming up within the next hour. I'm sure it'll clear up soon,: Sideswipe assured. :If not, I wouldn't worry about it since I'm not like your average Earth vehicle.:
At the smile in his voice, Anwen lovingly caressed the armrest and glanced into the rearview mirror, "No, my love, you are so much more."
:Hmm, you flatter me, sweetspark. By the way, Sunny's about five miles behind us. Did you want to wait a few minutes for him to catch up or shall we head on out?:
Glancing over at her brother, she asked, "Can we wait a few minutes? Please?"
At the puppy eyes she was giving him, Liam couldn't help but smile, "Of course we can."
And so they did.
For the next few minutes, they all waited for his brother to appear. And soon after, a familiar golden Lamborghini pulled up alongside them, to which Anwen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he was safe.
"Can he use his Comm. link yet, or are we still on radio silence?"
:We're just going to play it safe and stay silent for the time being. That Con is still out there somewhere and we can't have it hacking our Comm. signals in case it's tracking us.:
"Good point."
:Also, Sunny says that while he'd like for you to ride with him, he wants you, Liam and Kenobi to stay with me for the rest of the drive. But he did say that once we board the plane back to Diego Garcia, he's keeping you all to himself.:
A blush appeared along her freckled cheeks upon hearing that, which caused the silver frontliner to emit a slight chuckle, :I never get tired of seeing you do that.:
With a playful roll of her eyes, she leaned back in the seat as he (and Sunstreaker) pulled out of the parking lot and onto the highway, while Liam just shook his head and smiled at their conversation. As for Kenobi, he was curiously looking out the window as the scenery passed them by. In truth, both Bleu siblings were surprised at how well he was traveling. So far, he hadn't shown any signs of anxiety or stress, nor did he act like he was going to get sick. All in all, he was riding perfectly well for a pup his age. A small blessing indeed.

Crossing the border into the U.S. brought an array of emotions to the young ginger as the province of Canada began to disappear in the background. She was happy to be closer to their intended destination, but she was also sad to be leaving her homeland behind once more; especially after so many years of absence. It's not that she didn't have the means to return after she obtained her driver's license, bought and converted her van, and officially ran away from her foster family, but rather, she felt it was best to wait until Liam was present. She just felt that she couldn't face that part of her past without him by her side. Glancing over at her brother, Anwen began to tear up as her thoughts and emotions began swirling inside her.
"Lottie? Tu vas bien (You okay)," he asked while gently placing a hand on top of hers.
With a nod, she rubbed her eyes, "Oui…I'm just sad that we're leaving our homeland again."
Knowing that she was thinking of the time they were sent to live with Ms. Claudia, he emitted a sigh and squeezed her hand, "You know, I sometimes wonder what our lives would have been like had the Basil's been permitted to adopt us. But then we might not be where we are today if they had."
"True. You'd probably be serving in the Canadian Army instead of the U.S.," she quipped with a smile.
"Oui, that is a likely possibility. But if that were the case, I probably wouldn't have met Lennox, Epps, or my other teammates. I might also have never met Maggie," he added with a frown.
"You really like her, don't you?"
He gave his sister a smile before facing the road once more, "I do. She's charismatic, smart, funny, and bold in everything she does. She's not afraid of challenges, nor is she afraid to be herself while in my presence. Plus, I love that accent of hers and her smile lights up my day."
Hearing this, Anwen couldn't help but grin. "Je suis vraiment content pour vous deux (I'm really happy for you two). I know you both haven't dated for very long, but I can see that you two have a strong connection."
:I agree,: Sideswipe chimed in. :You and Miss Madsen are good together. Truthfully, I think she's the one for you,: he hinted with an obvious smile in his tone.
"Heh, maybe..," he bashfully rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean, I really like her but I don't want to move too quickly. Besides, I haven't even taken her on a proper date yet."
:Oh, you could do something similar to what Sunny and I did for your sister on our 'first date'.:
"Pray tell, what did you two do," he curiously asked with a smile as Anwen lovingly scratched Kenobi's neck while her cheeks began to blush at the memory.
:Well, we had previously taken her out to a rather scenic overlook, so we decided that would be the perfect place to set up a surprise picnic dinner. I took her out for a drive around the island while Sunny got the location ready for our date. When we arrived, I asked her to close her eyes and I also asked to carry her since she was wearing her rollerblades at the time.: He then sent a loving ripple through Anwen's seat, :Why don't you finish the story, sweetspark. I'd prefer to hear your thoughts from that night rather than my own account.:
"Bien (Alright)," she smiled and caressed the armrest before continuing the story, "As he said: he had to carry me to the location because the terrain wasn't suitable for my blades; but oh mon Dieu (my God), it was absolutely breathtaking. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the trees had been decorated with little fairy lights and there was a large cloth tarp with a wooden picnic basket in the center. And standing across from the lovely display was Sunstreaker."
*sigh* "Oh Liam, I wish you could have seen how beautiful everything was: It was like something out of a movie. We had a lovely dinner and an insightful conversation, and for dessert, they presented me with a container of freshly-made chocolate chip cookies, which they made," she added with a smile, to which she felt another gentle ripple through her seat while the rearview mirror gave her a slight tilt as if Sideswipe meant it as a wink.
"After that, we watched the sun set and the stars appear, to which they showed me where Cybertron is located. Unfortunately, the weather forced us to pack up and leave, but even then, our date didn't end there. They then took me to their quarters where we had a classic Star Wars marathon."
At that, Liam chuckled, "Oui, that sounds like the perfect date for you, Lottie."
"Oh, it was," she agreed. "It was so thoughtful and sweet. I honestly couldn't have asked for anything better."
That comment brought a smile to the silver frontliner, which he knew Sunstreaker was also doing the same as their emotions were reflecting off one another. Granted, he hadn't actually heard the conversation as they couldn't use their Comm's at the moment, but Sideswipe had been relaying parts of the conversation to him through their bond. Also, having recorded the entire conversation, he made sure to play it for him later.

-1845-
The stars were starting to emerge when their destination finally came into view. Granted, they still had a long flight ahead, but at least the driving part was over with. Both Anwen and Liam emitted a sigh of relief knowing they, the twins, and Kenobi were now rid of that damn Decepticon. An hour ago they detected its signal again and were forced to take a detour off their planned route, so as to lure it away from heavily populated areas. That little maneuver cost them nearly two hours of traveling, but at least they were finally in the clear.
Pulling into one of the designated N.E.S.T. hangers, the Bleu siblings (and Kenobi) exited Sideswipe's alt form and stretched their legs while he and Sunstreaker transformed and did the same. Seeing as how they were in an enclosed hanger and on a U.S. military base, they were permitted to be in their bipedal forms, so long as they remained within the confinement of the building they were currently in. Whatever. In truth, they were just glad to be stretching out.
Both Sunstreaker and Sideswipe made several creaking and popping sounds, indicating their immense relief from being contorted for almost an entire week. While they worked out the kinks in their joints, Liam took Kenobi out for a walk while Anwen headed into the nearby restroom to use the facilities. When she returned, she was immediately picked up by her golden mech and placed atop his chassis while he and his brother reclined on a pile of old tires. Granted, it wasn't exactly an ideal spot to lounge, but they were too exhausted to give a flying frag.
With a smile, Anwen rested against the warmth of Sunstreaker's frame and listened to the sound of his spark pulsing, while his servo held her in place. Like them, she too was worn out from the long drive, but at least they had a twelve hour gap between now and their upcoming flight back to Diego Garcia.
