Cover Me
By Black Dragon Queen
Author’s Note: Okay, clearly I'm going to have to say something here that I was trying not to but apparently it has to be said. There is something going on with Judy, that's why she acts the way she does. I know some of you are getting rather frustrated with her "I know something you don't know" attitude but all I can tell you is please remember I don't do anything without reason! It will be explained... eventually... far off in the future.
Chapter Ninety-Two: Oh Baby!
“Jazz!” Prowl bellowed as he stormed into the hanger with nearly the whole population of the base right behind him. “What happened? What’s wrong? Did Ratchet find a problem?”
Jazz just glared at him as Prowl rushed over, a frantic look to his features. When Prowl was finally in range, Jazz reached out and actually whapped the commander upside the head, shocking almost everyone there. Jazz was usually such an easygoing mech. “I’ll tell you what’s wrong!” Jazz shouted hysterically. “It’s all your fault! I blame you! You and your slagging needs!”
Prowl just stared at Jazz in disbelief as he rubbed the area where he had smacked him wondering if Jazz actually managed to dent him. “What? What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
“Ow! What was that for?” Sideswipe suddenly yelped and everyone turned to find the mech on the ground. Apparently Sunny had just hauled back and slugged his own husband.
“I don’t know!” Sunny cried out in frustration as he glared at the other Lamborghini. “All I know is that it’s your fault too!”
“What?” Sides yelped. “What the slag? What’s wrong with you?”
“I don’t know!” Sunny wailed. “Ratchet won’t tell me!”
“Um… I did tell you,” Ratchet sighed. “I just don’t think you know the terminology.”
“What terminology?” Optimus turned to the medic with a worried frown. “Is something going around that’s infected Jazz and Sunstreaker?”
“What? You mean he might be contagious?” Sides yelped as he jumped back apprehensively.
Sunny leaned over and hit him again. “Idiot.”
“Contagious? No,” Ratchet shook his head. “But I’m surprised that it’s only those two. I thought for sure that Red would be as well.”
“Wait, so Red is fine?” Inferno pushed passed Ironhide and Hound and quickly made his way over to his own husband who was seated in front of the new computer.
Red shrugged. “Apparently I managed to get away clean.”
“Wait, so this could happen to all of us?” Blaster suddenly yelped frantically.
“What the slag? I knew there was something wrong with this planet!” Wheeljack muttered as he stepped next to Ratchet.
“What? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Earth!” Ratchet snapped back at his husband, surprising Wheeljack with the firmness of the statement.
“There must be if you guys are freaking out like this!” Inferno shot back at the medic.
“Inferno, would you knock it the slag off? For crying out loud, Ratchet said we’re fine so shut up about it!” Everyone just stared at Red surprised and he lifted his chin higher. “What? I like this planet and I won’t have my own husband bashing our new home.”
“Perceptor! Are you sure your equipment is working correctly?” Inferno suddenly bellowed as he whirled to face the surprised scientist.
“For the last time, NO MORE TESTS!” Perceptor shouted at the top of his volume. “And my equipment is working just fine! In fact I just learned that-”
“Then what the slag is wrong with them?” Prowl interrupted as he spun around to face Ratchet. “You didn’t call for the others until after you looked at Jazz! Is he going to die… again?”
“What? What about Sunny?” Sides shouted as he snagged the other’s arm and quickly pulled him into a hug while Sunny looked to Ratchet with worried optics.
“All right, everyone calm down!” Optimus ordered as he stepped further into the room. “Let’s all just calm down and find out what is going on around here.” Everyone instantly quieted and Optimus sighed as he turned to Ratchet. “Well? What’s the cause of all this?”
Ratchet surprised everyone when he smiled. “The next level of evolution.”
Optimus stared at his chief medical officer completely baffled. “What?”
Jazz meanwhile was still glaring over at his husband and he reached out and smacked the white patrol car upside the head again. “I can’t believe this!” Jazz cried out. “I’m NOT a girl! Why couldn’t it have been you? You would be a better caretaker! Why does it have to be me?”
“Actually,” Ratchet mused as he stared at Prowl for a long moment. “Good point.” The hairdryer thing was suddenly pulled out again and aimed at Prowl.
“What in the world?” Prowl frowned as he backed away but Ratchet was already looking down at the screen.
“Nope he’s clean,” the medic announced as he turned to aim his scanner at Inferno.
“What the slag?” Inferno yelped as he too tried to get away from the medic’s scrutiny.
“Wait, what?” Bluestreak looked around at the group confused, ignoring the large fire rigs attempt at escape. “What is Jazz talking about? Caretaker of what?”
“The baby of course,” Ratchet chuckled as he waved the hairdryer thing at Sideswipe. Ratchet shook his head again and Jazz’s growling got louder.
There were a multitude of blank looks from most of the mechs but Optimus, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Barricade and all the humans just gawked at Ratchet. “The WHAT?” Ironhide bellowed.
“But that’s impossible! We don’t have babies like the humans do!” Optimus said completely astonished.
“Apparently we do now,” Ratchet sighed as he set his equipment down only to suddenly find himself surrounded by the rest of the First Team plus Barricade.
“But how is this possible? Our systems weren’t designed to get pregnant!” Jazz snarled at him.
“Are you sure it’s a baby?” Bumblebee quickly asked amazed.
“Maybe there’s a glitch in your equipment,” Barricade added with a small frown. “Because ‘Jazz pregnant’ just doesn’t sound right.”
“This whole thing just ain’t right,” Ironhide groaned.
“Are you saying our systems have changed enough to support a baby?” Optimus asked surprised and a bit of awe in his tine.
“I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A GIRL!” Everyone stepped back as Jazz snagged Ratchet’s shoulders and began shaking him back and forth like a rag doll. “You have to fix it!”
“How?” Ratchet demanded as he tried to pull himself out of his friends grasp.
“I don’t know!” Jazz wailed back.
“Jazz, I think you’re looking at this the wrong way,” Optimus said slowly as a wide grin began to form. “This is wonderful news!”
“Then you do it!” Jazz yelped as he finally let go of Ratchet and whirled to face the big rig, a scowl on his features. “I’m too young to be a mother!”
“Nonsense!” Ratchet laughed as he clamped a hand on the smaller mech’s shoulder. “You’ll make wonderful parents.”
“Yeah the doting, fun loving Jazz and the stern, protective Prowl,” Ironhide began laughing as well. “You know, this may be fun.”
“It’s not fun at all!” Jazz wailed mournfully.
“Wait,” Mikaela suddenly spoke up. “I thought that only the All Spark could do something like this.”
“Apparently not,” ‘Bee shrugged.
“Then how the hell did I end up like THIS?” Jazz yelped pointing at his stomach. “Unless Ratchet experimented with me after I died.”
“What? I would never!” Ratchet shouted completely offended.
“THEN HOW IN THE MATRIX IS THIS POSSIBLE?” Jazz bellowed back nearly in hysterics by this point.
“Um… I think I know.”
“Everyone whirled in surprise to face Sam seated in ‘Bee’s palm. “You know?” Jazz gasped as he stared down at the small human.
“Primus,” was all Sam said miserably.
The mechs boggled at him. “What do you mean Sam?” Will asked from Ironhide’s hands. “You really think Primus did this?”
“I think so,” Sam nodded. “Every time I saw him he kept mentioning some plan to help everyone now that the All Spark is gone. When I was upset about the fact that by destroying the Cube, I had basically condemned your people to extinction, I asked him if he was going to create a new cube.”
“You asked him that?” Bumblebee looked down at the small human in surprise and awe.
Sam just nodded miserably. “I knew that it would just be used as a pawn against you guys and Starscream but I couldn’t bear the thought that I was the one who killed you off. However when I asked him about it, all he said was he had a plan to fix the matter.”
“And this is his great plan?” Jazz yelped. “By giving us the ability to give birth?”
“How is that even going to work?” Barricade drawled looking at Jazz from head to toe. Jazz glared at him.
“Well, Primus makes sense,” Epps was musing. “With the All Spark gone, he had to figure out a way to keep his race going.”
“But I thought you said your race really had no gender,” Will added, shooting Ironhide a small glance.
“Yeah, but we weren’t meant to have babies,” Jazz growled. “So no need for there to be two genders.”
There was a snicker from Ironhide. “So Jazz is a female now?”
Barricade smirked. “I guess that makes him a ‘Femme’.”
“I’ll kill you both, see if I don’t!” Jazz shouted as he leaned over to whack both of them upside the head. “You jerks!”
“Um… excuse me?” The group turned to find the other mechs all just standing there staring at them with confused and frustrated expressions. Sunstreaker just settled on glaring at them. “But could someone please explain WHAT THE SLAG IS GOING ON AROUND HERE?”
The smaller group startled at this before Optimus looked back over at them sheepishly. “Um… sorry.”
“What the slag are you guys all talking about?” Wheeljack asked exasperatedly. “What is going on?”
“Yeah, what’s up? What in the matrix is going on?” Sideswipe demanded.
“Is Jazz okay then?” Prowl inquired as he turned to Optimus. “You said this was good news?”
Optimus just grinned at him. “Depends on who’s getting the news.”
“What?” Prowl just stared at him confused.
“Can someone PLEASE just tell us already?” Wheeljack shouted, becoming angry and the non-answers they were getting.
“Yeah. What’s the slag is going on?” Inferno demanded with a dark frown as he looked at each of the mechs in turn, waiting for a clear answer.
The group of six mechs and seven humans looked back and forth at one another, unsure how to broach the subject. There was a sigh. “He’s having a sparkling,” Mikaela announced loudly. Optimus nearly fell over in relief as someone else broke the news.
All the other mechs turned to stare at the girl in complete shock. “What about a sparkling?” Hound demanded sternly.
“There are no sparklings,” Bluestreak added with a nod. “With the All Spark gone, so did the chance of any more sparklings.”
“Well apparently Primus thought differently,” Ratchet shrugged.
“And what do you mean that Jazz is having one?” Blaster asked puzzled.
“And how did he get one?” Perceptor demanded with a thoughtful frown.
“I would think that’s where Prowl came in,” Ron chuckled before he turned to smile at the rather confused mech in question. “You do fast work. Congratulations.”
“Um… thanks?” Prowl murmured at a bit of a loss as to what the human was congratulating him for.
“Dad,” Sam groaned as he clamped a hand over his eyes in embarrassment.
“What?” Ron snickered.
“What the heck are we all talking about?” Sunny demanded rather annoyed that he wasn’t getting any clear answers. “What’s this about sparklings?”
There was a sudden groan from Ironhide. “Wait, he’s knocked up too?” he asked Ratchet who nodded. “Great, just what we need. More lunatic Lambos...”
“What?” Sunny glared at the top kick. “Who’s knocking?”
“It means you’re pregnant too,” Jazz sighed in defeat as he sat back down on the exam table. “Primus, I’m hungry.”
“Well get you something later,” Prowl told him soothingly as he quickly moved to Jazz’s side and took the Pontiac’s hand before he turned to Optimus. “I would much appreciate it if someone just explained it to us clearly.”
“You want straight?” Barricade suddenly took a stepped forward. “Okay. How about this; when you two merged, your sparks together created a little tiny spark that now is growing into a sparkling inside of Jazz…” Barricade smirked evilly at him. “Is that clear enough for you?”
Prowl said nothing as his optics suddenly flickered off and Blaster and Bluestreak had to scramble out of the way as the commander fell backwards, out for the count. “Prowl!” Jazz yelped as he surged off the table and quickly knelt by his husband’s side. “Slag it Barricade, you couldn’t have told him more gently?”
“Hey, if you wanted gentle, then Ratchet should have told him,” Barricade shrugged.
“I tried,” Ratchet frowned as he quickly ran another scan over Prowl.
“I can’t believe you told him like that,” Bumblebee scowled at the Decepticon.
“What? It’s better to just tell him than to dodge the issue like you ‘Bots were doing.”
“We were trying to break the news gently,” Ratchet stressed as he looked over the data pad then turned to Jazz. “He’s fine. He just overloaded on information and slipped into recharge.”
“Well wake him up!” Jazz demanded as he glared down at the comatose mech. Ratchet just sighed and with a quick jolt, Prowl was sitting bolt upright.
“What the slag?” Prowl stared around at everyone confused. “Why am I on the floor?”
“You fainted babe,” Jazz drawled as he began helping the other mech to his feet.
“What’s fainting?” Bluestreak asked curiously.
“One thing at a time here,” Inferno spoke up before he turned to Ratchet. “What does he mean that Jazz has a sparkling inside him?”
Prowl turned to stare at Jazz in complete disbelief as he was reminded of why he fainted in the first place and Jazz just sighed and nodded. “Yeah, I have a sparkling in me.”
“But how?” Wheeljack demanded. “How is that even possible? Slag, why is it even possible?”
“Actually, from what I can determine, it sounds a lot like how this planets mammals reproduce,” Hound said with a thoughtful look.
Inferno glanced at the scout. “What?”
“Hound is right,” Judy spoke. “In case you didn’t notice, but we humans don’t have anything like the All Spark to make more of us. We have to rely on each other.”
“That’s why Sam has two caretakers,” Bumblebee said gesturing to Judy and Ron. “The two of them together made Sam,” and he held up his hand containing the boy to prove his point. “The same way that Carol and Steve had Miles.”
“Hey, leave me out of this!” Miles yelped as ‘Bee held him up as well.
“What? You mean the two of them built him?” Bluestreak asked aghast as he stared at the two extremely embarrassed boys.
“In a sense,” Ratchet chuckled.
“But why did they need two to build them?” Perceptor asked confused. “Shouldn’t one have been enough?”
“Slag it, the last thing I want to do is have the birds and the bees talk with my teammates,” Ironhide complained to Optimus.
“What does Bumblebee have to do with anything?” Blaster asked innocently.
“No, not me!” Bumblebee sighed before he leaned over and kicked Barricade who was laughing hysterically.
“What? It was funny and so like you Autobots!” Barricade laughed.
“If you’re not going to contribute to the conversation then just shut up,” ‘Bee grumbled.
“No, I’m afraid you don’t understand,” Ratchet said, answering Perceptor. “You need two humans to make a baby which is their term for sparkling, one of each gender, a male and a female.”
“But we don’t have anything like that do we?” Bluestreak turned to Perceptor who shook his head.
“I’ve found mention of some species on this planet that can have offspring by themselves on the Web,” Hound said with a small frown. “‘Asexual’ I believe is the term, maybe it’s like that.”
“Possible, but considering we think that Primus is the one responsible for this latest development, we’re guessing that he followed the human’s way of reproduction,” Ratchet announced.
“So… Sunny is having a sparkling too?”
Ratchet turned to face the young red Lamborghini. “Exactly. That’s why he’s been acting so out of sorts with the changes in behavior and his painting fiascos. He’s exhibiting mood swings and I believe the term is ‘nesting’.”
“You mean I’m now going to be a caretaker?” Sides asked in disbelief. “But even back on Cybertron I never put in an application! I’m not qualified!”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re qualified or not. It’s happened so now you have to deal with it,” Ratchet told him with a shrug.
“Don’t worry dear,” Judy chuckled. “Unplanned pregnancies happens to humans all the time. I’m sure that you’ll be great at it!”
“And don’t forget that we’re all here to help,” Optimus nodded in agreement. “I don’t understand why everyone is spazzing out about it. This is the best news we’ve had in a long time!”
“Exactly! Mean’s we’re not going to die out!” Ratchet nodded with a large grin.
“But how the slag are we going to get it out of me?” Sunny shouted frantically. “Can we take it out now?”
“Er…” Ratchet frowned at this. “ That depends on how developed the sparkling is. I’m not sure the gestation period.”
“Humans take nine months but the elephant can be pregnant from anywhere between twenty to twenty two months,” Will shrugged.
Epps just gave his friend a sideways look. “I think you watched way too much of that Discovery Channel.”
“WHAT?” Sunny yelped as he whirled around to face Ratchet. “It’s going to be inside me for over a year?”
“It’s possible, we don’t know that,” Ratchet rationalized. “The only thing we can do is monitor you.”
“But wait, why is it only Sunny and Jazz? Why not me as well?”
Inferno turned to stare at Red Alert with shocked optics. “You actually want to have a sparkling growing in you?”
“Why not?” Red demanded sharply. “I think it would be wonderful to have my own sparkling.” His blue optics narrowed sharply. “Do you not want sparklings?”
Inferno twitched. “I didn’t say that…”
“Then what?”
“Well… er… we still haven’t found Starscream yet and as long as there’s a possibility of danger, I want you safe!” Inferno finally stated with a small huff.
Red just looked at him a long moment but nodded nonetheless. “True…”
“But I’ve got a question now!” Jazz spoke up. “Why is it only me and Sunny? Why aren’t Prowl and Sideswipe pregnant too?”
“Actually, I don’t know…” Ratchet frowned as he thought about this. “Since we simply merge our sparks, I wonder why it would it would choose one mech over the other to have the child.”
Wheeljack moaned. “I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation…”
“Well it’s a legitimate question!” Sunny snarled. “Why isn’t he in the same condition as I am? How did he get out of it?”
“I don’t know,” Ratchet shrugged again.
“I think I do.” Everyone now turned to Bumblebee as the mech sighed. “Sam.”
“Sam?” Everyone shouted.
“Me?” Sam cried in surprised. “What do I have to-” Sam suddenly broke off as his eyes went wide. “So you think that that’s what he meant when he said he was waiting for me to do my part?”
“What the slag are you two talking about?” Barricade demanded as he looked at the two suspiciously.
“If you could care to elaborate Bumblebee,” Optimus spoke.
“The prophecy you were talking about!” Bumblebee said. “Remember, it said ‘a new way of life will be gifted’? What if Sam was now some sort of conduit for Primus?”
“What?” Ironhide stared at the younger ‘Bot puzzled. “What are you talking about?”
“Well think about it,” Bumblebee turned to him. “When Sunny was injured, Sam did go into his chest cavity to help save him and he was awfully close to the spark chamber.”
Sam was nodding. “I actually did touch the chamber at one point.”
“And when Jazz came back, Sam was holding onto his chest plating and he carried Jazz’s spark back,” Bumblebee finished triumphantly.
“I don’t know guys…” Ratchet said slowly. “It seems kind of farfetched.”
“But it makes sense,” Jazz sighed. “That’s sounds exactly like something Primus would do.”
“So if we want sparklings, we need Sam to touch one of us so we can be altered to carry one?” Red Alert spoke up excitedly.
“Possibly,” Sam shrugged. Red just beamed and Inferno looked rather ill.
“I am not so sure that we are correct here in our theories.” All the Autobots whirled around in surprise at the flat voice. They had forgotten that Soundwave was even there. “From what I understand about previous visits with Primus, his plans are a bit more complex then they first appear.”
The Autobots all began talking at once again, each suggesting their own opinion while Barricade just looked at his fellow Decepticon confused but Soundwave just made the smallest gesture to Frenzy and he understood. Sam never really did anything with Frenzy during those few days leading up to the final battle so Megatron’s presences wouldn’t be possible if it was only because of Sam, what was really going on?
Bumblebee shot the mustang a curious look but Barricade simply shook his head. They would have to speak later but if Soundwave was correct, then what the slag did Primus mean with that slagging prophecy? Barricade sighed. He didn’t even want to think of what he could have meant.
Thundercracker frowned as he suddenly found himself with a lap full of purple and black. Long Haul, whom he had been conversing with, looked on amused as Skywarp shifted to make himself more comfortable in his mate’s lap. “Mind if I doze off here?” Skywarp grinned up at his husband.
Thundercracker just stared at him in surprise as Skywarp wrapped his arms around his shoulders and settled in. “What the slag has been up with you lately?” Thundercracker asked point blank. “All you ever want to do lately is cuddle and sleep.” Skywarp just shrugged as he went right into recharge snuggled contently against his husband’s chest.
