Optimus didn't understand it, but he was extremely glad that Mirage was available and home. Optimus wanted to ask so many questions, but Mirage was still pushing and guiding the Prime back towards their berth room. Optimus let himself be pushed and guided along, as his body seemed to sense what was coming even if the Prime's processor was totally confused and lost. "Love?" Optimus asked, trying to get Mirage's attention.
Mirage didn't respond verbally at this time but began to spoil his mate gently and sensually. Mirage realized that this might happen several times as Mirage assumed that Primus was using this to help protect and grow the sparklings growing inside of the prime. Optimus didn't like that Mirage refused to respond verbally, but before long, Optimus was thoroughly take care of and Mirage was holding Optimus close in their special berth chambers.
Optimus now felt like normal and soon realized what had happened. "Love?" Optimus asked, a bit unnerved.
"Yes, my beloved?" Mirage answered, seeing that Optimus had returned to himself now that Mirage had addressed the Prime's need.
"Why am I back here and not in my office?" Optimus asked, not quite fully understanding what had occurred, but had a rough idea. This had happened a couple times since Optimus had come to after his infection that had left him in the med bay for a while.
"Ever since you had that infection, every so often your body reacts and needs me to help you reaffirm the bond. I assume to help keep the little ones growing inside of you" Mirage answered, trying to reassure his mate and calm his anxious mate down.
"Really?" Optimus asked, still confused about this whole thing, including being sparked.
"Yes, really, my beloved. Now rest with me for a bit and then you will feel up to going back to your office and finish up with all the rest of your work for today" Mirage answered his mate, stroking his mate's faceplates gently and reassuringly. Optimus softly nuzzled the hand that ran across his face, as it was very reassuring to the Prime. Soon enough, Optimus was resting with his mate. Mirage was glad, as Mirage felt often times that Optimus worked himself to hard. At least now, Mirage knew that Optimus wouldn't work too hard and harm the sparklings, and so Mirage was glad for that.
