~= Talking through the bond of either your mate or brother

:=Comm. Link

Several months had gone by, and I was showing more and more. Constant trips to med bay with Prime. I didn't want Ratchet throwing his stupid wrenches at me. Prime was with me in case Ratchet decided to call me names again.

While I was carrying 3 sparks, I wasn't allowed to do much other than relax either in the Rec. Room or in Prime's personal quarters. If I wanted to go for a drive, I had to have someone with me. I felt like a sparkling, myself. I know Prime was doing this to protect me, but I am a grown femme. I can take care of myself.

I was on my way to the Rec. Room, when I passed out. Prime was leaving his office for some hot energon in the Rec. Room, when he saw me laying on the floor. He rushed to me, picked me up and carried me to med bay to find out what was wrong with me.

Ratchet was just finishing up with his work and was going to quit for the day. He was 'til Prime rushed me in. He laid me down on one of the medical berths, then started pacing.

"Prime please. That's very distracting. Sit down and be patient. When I know, you will", Ratchet said.

Prime sat down and waited for the results. He was hoping that it was good and that maybe I was ready to give birth to the triplets.

Ratchet walked over to Prime and told him that the triplets are coming early. Prime couldn't believe it. He was excited and worried at the same time. Excited cause he's going to be a father but worried cause if Megatron found out, he'd try to take them.

Several hours later, all 3 sparklings were born. One was of course was red, like Sides. I named him Vinnie. He even looked like Sides. The other 2 were different. One was tan with a visor like Jazz's. I named him Throttle. Then there was the last one. He was gray like me with some red and blue. He looked like his father, too. And strong for a sparkling. I named him Modo.

Prime looked at me as I held my boys for the first time. "Sweetpsark, would you like to hold your boys?", I asked.

"I…I'm afraid that I might hurt them", Prime said, sitting down next to me.

"You're not going to hurt them, you big lug. Here, I'll give you Throttle", I said, as I laid Throttle in his arms.

He brought one hand out from under Throttle and began tickling him. He giggled and clicked in his sparkling voice. "What's his name again?", asked Optimus.

"His name is Throttle. He reminds me of Brawn in a way. I guess it's the paint. This is Modo", I said, nodding my head towards the gray, red and blue mech in my left arm.

"And this is Vinnie", I said, nodding to the other little red mech in my right arm.

"He looks just like your brother, Wolf. Why didn't you name him after your brother? Keep his memory alive?", Prime asked.

I shook my head back and forth. "I love my bro, yes, but naming him after Sides, is just too much, Prime. I couldn't do it. And I am keeping his memory alive. I know you didn't like when he pulled pranks, but….", I said.

He knew what I was referring to. "You didn't…?", asked Optimus.

I nodded my head yes. "Who?", Prime asked.

"Ironhide, Prowl, Ratchet, and…", I said.

"Who's the last one, Wolf?", said Optimus. He gave me a stern look.

"You. I…uh,…booby trapped your room", I said meekly.

Prime dropped his head down and shook it back and forth.

"I'm sorry, Prime. I really am. Honest", I said.

"I hope that once we're bonded, you won't continue this childish behavior. Not even

Sideswipe crossed the line when it came to pranking. He knew not to try it with me. What made you think you could cross that line?", Prime asked.

I lowered my head in shame. I knew I was in trouble. I just didn't realize how much trouble 'til he commed Prowl.

:Yes Prime:

:When you have the time, I need you to do something for me:

:Sure, what is it?:

:I'm sending Wolf to you for disciplinary actions. She picked up where her brother left off in his pranks. She even crossed the line and booby trapped my personal quarters:

:I will deal with her accordingly:

:Thank you, Prowl. Prime out:

After he cut the link with Prowl, he took Modo and Vinnie from me and told me to report to Prowl.

"What for?", I asked.

"For pranking high ranking officers. Including me. I'll take care of the boys", said Optimus.

I slid off the medical berth and headed for the double sliding doors of med bay.

I arrived at Prowl's office door and knocked. The door opened and I walked in. I stood in front of his desk and saluted.

"At ease, Wolf. Please sit down", Prowl said.

I stood at ease and stood there.

"I prefer to stand, sir", I said.

"Alright then. Do you know why you were sent here, Wolf?", asked Prowl.

"Yes sir, I do. I pranked 'Hide, you, 'Chet, and booby trapped Prime's personal quarters, sir", I said.

"Yes you did. And what do you think I should do about it?", Prowl asked.

"I don't know, sir. But I do have a family that needs me", I said.

He looked at me strangely. "Family?", asked Prowl.

"Yeah, family. It wasn't planned to happen 'til after the war, but Prime and I have triplet boys. I just gave birth to them no more than 45 mins. ago, sir", I said.

He got up from his desk, walked around and held out his hand for me to shake. I shook his hand.

"Congratulations, Wolf. I'll let it slide this one time. I would like to see your sparklings, if that's ok?", Prowl asked.

"That would be fine with me, Prowl. How is Sunny? I know he's hurting", I said.

"He is hurting, Wolf. Hurting bad. He won't talk to me. Would you talk to him? You are his sister", said Prowl.

I put my hand on his shoulder. "I'll do what I can, Prowl. No guarantees, though", I said.

"I understand", Prowl said.

"Why don't we go see if Prime is still in med bay with my triplets. I'll introduce you to them", I said.

Prowl and I walked into med bay, and sure enough, Prime was here with the triplets. He was feeding them. It was so adorable watching him do his fatherly duties.

I walked up to him and asked him if he needed any help. He looked at me and smiled.

"I'm fine, sweetspark. It took a bit to get Vinnie to take his formula, but he finally took it. Throttle and Modo were no problem at all", Prime said.

I motioned Prowl to come over so he could meet the triplets.

"Prowl, I'd you to meet Throttle, Modo and Vinnie. Modo here, looks a little like Prime.

Vinnie looks exactly like Sides. Throttle reminds me of Brawn", I said.

"May I ask why you chose those names?", Prowl asked.

"I wanted something different. I really didn't want sparklings 'til after I was bonded. But I wouldn't change what I have here for anything in the world. I love my boys and I love Optimus", I said, as I wrapped my arm around Prime's arm. Then I leaned against it.

"You have handsome little mechs, Wolf. I wish you luck with your new family. If and when I decide to pop the question to Sunstreaker, do I have your blessing, Wolf? He is your brother, after all", said Prowl.

"Of course you do, Prowl. I want to see my brother happy. He's happy when he's with you. Just be good to him and treat him right. That's all I ask. Hurt him, and I hurt you the same way. Understood?", I said.

"Understood Wolf. May I go now?", Prowl asked.

"Yes, you may go. Just remember what I said", I said.

Prowl nodded then left med bay.

"So, did he reprimand you?", asked Optimus.

"No. He let it slide this one time. I told him that I have a family that needs me", I said.

"Well, I suppose I would have done the same thing. But still, Wolf. What you did was very childish, even for you. I hope the boys never learn of this when they get older", Prime said.

I unhooked my arm from him and walked away. I didn't know what to do or what to say. I was ashamed for what I did.

A few hours later, after Prime put the boys down for a nap, he found me in the Rec. Room, drinking mug after mug of High Grade. I was so depressed, why not drink?

Prime stood there in the doorway, watching me drink. Wondering when I was going to stop drinking and go to my room.

He decided to intervene. He couldn't handle watching me drink my life away. It was breaking his spark so bad.

"Wolf, what's wrong?", asked Optimus, as he sat down next to me. He put his hand on mine to stop me from taking another drink. I looked at him.

"I…I think it was a mistake. Getting together with you was a mistake. It shouldn't have happened. Ratchet was right. I am a whore. I…I can't be with you any more, Optimus. I'm sorry", I said. Then I got up from the table and walked out.

Prime sat there, stunned at what I told him. His spark felt like someone had ripped it out of his chest and stepped on it. He was hurting so bad that he wasn't sure if he could even take care of the triplets now that I had left him.

It had been 2 days, and Prime never came out of his personal quarters. He had Ironhide watch the triplets before locking himself in his personal quarters. He always sat in the dark. Optimus didn't know what to do. I had left him and the triplets.

He wouldn't let anyone in to check on him. He changed his bypass code as well as the main code to get in.

Eventually, Prowl had Brawn break the door down and had Prime dragged out of his personal quarters and to med bay.

Prowl put himself in command of the team 'til Prime was deemed fit for duty, which was very unlikely at this point.

"What made him act like this, Ratchet?", Prowl asked.

Ratchet looked over the scan twice and couldn't figure out what was wrong. He turned to face Prowl.

"I have no idea, Prowl. And where is Wolf? Shouldn't she be here? Shed some light on what's wrong with him?", Ratchet said.

"She hasn't been here for past 2 days. I'm wondering if they had a falling out?", asked Prowl.

Ratchet looked at Prowl again. "Say what? They looked so happy. Maybe she took what I said to spark", said Ratchet.

"What did you say?", Prowl asked.

"I called her a whore. I have family back on Cybertron. I'll give them a call and see if she's been seen. I'll let you know", Ratchet said.

Meanwhile on Cybertron, I had gone looking for somewhere to live. I couldn't be with someone who puts me down. I needed positive things in my life. Not negative.

While I was looking for a place to live, I ran into Ratchet's little brother, First Aid.

He recognized me from the last time I was here. "Wolf, what are you doing here?", asked First Aid.

"I needed a change. I'm looking for a place to live. Do you know of any place?", I replied.

"I'm looking for a roommate over at the college. You interested?", First Aid asked.

"Yeah, I am. I mean if that's ok?", I said.

"That's fine with me, Wolf. May I ask you something?", asked First Aid

"Depends on what it is you want to know", I said.

"I was wondering if you plan on taking that medical course you were talking about last time you were here?", First Aid asked.

"Yeah, I am. That's why I came back. I plan to live here from now on. Maybe teach that course that the dean wanted me to teach", I said.

Back on Earth, Ratchet and Prime were talking about the boys and how Prime was going to take care of them. "Honestly, Ratchet. I have no idea if I can. Vinnie knows that Wolf left. Throttle and Modo know it, too, but are hiding it very well. I'm scared, Ratchet.

Scared that something bad could happen to her and I can't protect her. I love her dearly", Prime said.

"I know you love her, Prime. What did she say to you that made her leave?", asked Ratchet.

"I asked her why she crossed the line and booby trapped my personal quarters. She flat out told me that being with me was a mistake and it shouldn't have happened. It was like her getting pregnant was my idea. That was unplanned. I don't know if I should call her or not. She also told me that she can't be with me any more. My spark breaking, Ratchet. I miss her so much", said Optimus.

"I don't know what to tell you, Prime. This is your problem. Well, its her problem, too. But she's the one who stuck you with the boys. Has Vinnie stopped eating since Wolf left?", Ratchet asked.

"Yes, he has. How'd you know?", Prime replied.

"Ironhide brought him in yesterday when you left Vinnie and his brothers with him. Vinnie is voicing what his brothers are thinking. They want Wolf to come back. I'm sorry that I called her a whore. And I'm hoping that she didn't take it to spark. If she did, then part of this is my fault. If it is, then I'd like your forgiveness, Prime", said Ratchet.

"And you do, Ratchet. I shouldn't have done what I did. I just don't like the name calling in my presence. And for what I did to you, I'm very sorry", said Optimus.

"Forgiven. If anyone has seen Wolf on Cybertron, I'll know about it. My little brother, First Aid, is a teacher at the college. I'll give him a call and find out", Ratchet said.

"Thank you, Ratchet. That means a lot to me. I'll be in the Rec. Room, contemplating on if I should continue to raise the boys or take them to Wolf to raise on her own", Prime said.

Ratchet nodded and watched Prime leave. He felt sorry for his leader. I had walked away from my responsibilities as a mother to my boys.
