Mirage and Red Tide quickly made their way to the med bay. Mirage had a sense his mate needed him, but had really no idea just how needy Optimus actually was. Mirage could only hope that he reached his mate before the feeling grew, as Mirage knew when Optimus got needy, things could get crazy. And Mirage knew no one wanted that.
Soon, though not soon enough to some bots, Mirage entered the med bay. It was only now he felt just how needy his mate was, and it was at a very high level. Mirage headed to his mate. "Optimus?" Mirage asked, announcing his presence, much to Optimus' relief.
Optimus looked up and tried not to moan in desperate need. Optimus was getting close to the point of no return. "Yes love?" Optimus answered almost in a horny haze.
Mirage was greatly concerned to hear how Optimus sounded. Optimus sounded off. "Ratchet, are there any private, sound proof rooms in the med bay where I can help Optimus with his needs?" Mirage asked, wanting privacy for what was needed but not leave the med bay.
"Yes, of course" Ratchet asked and he led Mirage and Optimus to one of the biggest rooms. "Do what you need to, but I want to check you both over afterwards." Mirage nodded and took his mate into the private room. And over the course of the next hour or so, Mirage made sure to take care of his mate's emotional needs with some adult fun, neither realizing that Primus was using this to save the precious sparklings that Optimus carried.
Once the time was up, both Mirage and Optimus appeared, looking like nothing had occurred, but Ratchet knew better. He scanned both upon their re-emergence. Ratchet was shocked to find that not only were Mirage's growing sparklings were safe, but also, Optimus' developing sparklings were thriving as well, and with no appaRent ill effect. Though shocked, Ratchet smiled. "It would seem that now that things are back in order, I can release Optimus from the med bay, though Optimus will have to minimize being too active for a week or so" Ratchet stated matter of factly.
Mirage was relieved to hear that, as was Optimus. Mirage spoke first. "I'm glad to hear the good news, but I do have a question – is Optimus allowed to return to his Prime duties?"
Ratchet thought about it for a bit before answering. "For the first week, Optimus should have someone with him who can assist the Prime. After that, I think he can maintain them on his own as long as he watches out for his growing littles ones" Ratchet answered honestly. Mirage, Optimus, Hide, and Red Tide were all extremely happy to hear that and they soon headed out of the med bay towards the quarters of Optimus and his mate. Optimus and his sparklings would now survive as long as Optimus' family helped him out. And for now, that was the best news of all.
