Aquaformer was just coming to in the med bay. Optimus had stayed close, fearing he might lose his mate as he knew sparking so many could be deadly. Thankfully, Aquaformer had survived and her spark was strong. Yes, she was still weak from sparking the little ones, but she would live. Optimus noticed his mate stirring. He wanted to go over to her, but as he did so, Jazz and Prowl rushed into the med bay, looking for Ratchet.
Optimus, seeing that his mate and sparklings were safe, went to help Jazz and Prowl. Optimus went to get Ratchet while Prowl got Jazz upon a med bay berth. Optimus quickly returned with Ratchet, who actually wasn't expecting Jazz to come in for a few more weeks. "I…I think they're coming" Jazz let out in a painful moan.
Optimus backed off a bit to allow Prowl to be close to his mate Jazz and to allow Ratchet to do his job. Optimus headed back over towards his mate as Ratchet and Aid prepared for early sparklings. Jazz let out painful utterances as he began to push out his little ones. He knew from reading that seekers were extremely painful to spark, but he had no idea it would be this painful.
Meanwhile, Aquaformer fully roused, expecting to see her mate and her sparklings nearby. And while the crib berth was close, Optimus was a little ways off. "Love?" Aquaformer asked, still a little groggy.
"Shh. Everything is fine love. You and the sparklings are strong. You were resting and Jazz came in to spark his little ones" Optimus explained, or at least tried to in between Jazz's pain filled yells.
"I see" she replied, hearing the pain filled yells and moans. "I hope he is safe as he sparks. Sparking aerial bots increases the likelihood of having a spark attack during sparking."
Optimus grew a bit worried when he heard that, but once he heard three new screams added to the other six, he was relieved. As Optimus and Aquaformer were talking, Jazz quickly and painfully popped out the three mech seekerlings he had in his sparkling development chamber. They weren't quite as big as Aquaformer and Optimus' sparklings, but they were good sized none the less. Each seekerling was black and silver in color but each had different markings with those colors.
"Do you feel up to naming them, hon?" Prowl asked.
"Yes. What do you think would be good names?"
"How about Slick, Shiner, and Silvercloud?" Prowl asked.
"Silvercloud?" Jazz asked, not sure he liked that name.
"Do you have another idea, love?" Prowl asked.
"How about Silverwing, as that little mechling had all silver wings?" Jazz asked and prowl nodded.
Back with Aquaformer and Optimus, both overheard the naming of the seekerlings. "I think it is time to name our little ones" Optimus stated.
"Agreed. Any ideas?" Aquaformer asked.
"Well, what about Skyler and Starshine for the twin aerial femmes?" Optimus asked.
"I like those names. How about Solarstorm for the triple changing mech?" Aquaformer asked.
The mechling cooed. "Seems he likes it. That's three named. What about the other three?" Optimus answered.
Aquaformer looked at the three that had not been named yet. There were the twin mechs and the last sparked, a femme, all grounder bots. "Hmmmm. Maybe Justice and Peacekeeper for the mechs and Rosebud for the femme?" Aquaformer asked, a bit unsure about the name of the femme.
"How about for the femme, we just call her Rose?" Optimus offered.
"That seems too short. How about Crimson Rose?" Aquaformer asked. The femme cooed loudly.
"Seems she likes it" Optimus stated, "welcome to the world Skyler, Starshine, Solarstorm, Justice, Peacekeeper, and Crimson Rose." Each sparkling cooed as Optimus rubbed the small helm when Optimus said their name.
Ratchet just smiled, relieved that as of now, all nine sparklings and both moms were doing well. He would keep close tabs on them as sparklings were precious and Aquaformer and Jazz were valuable bots.
