Author’s Note: I'm so, so, so, so, SO sorry for the lateness of this post! I didn't know my grandparents no longer had the internet until we got there! And then I was STUCK since I rode with my mom! Thank goodness we had the excuse of leaving early to feed the horses! I tell you, we ran out of there! I love my family, don't get me wrong... but they're all completely loopy!
Chapter Ninety-Four: If It’s Not One Thing
“Well?” Optimus insisted as Barricade reached out to snag Sam while ‘Bee held out a hand for Mikaela and Miles. “What did he have to say?”
“Optimus, that mech talks in more slagging circles than you do,” Jazz muttered as he moved back next to Prowl and leaned against him. “We never can get a straight answer out of him.”
“But what did he have to say about the pregnancies?” Ratchet demanded. “How long is the gestation period? Are they going to come out with their own forms? How in the Pit are they going to be birthed? How-”
“Ratchet, I’m sure he’ll tell us if you give him a moment to answer,” Wheeljack murmured with a small smile. Ratchet just frowned before he looked back at Jazz with a questioning look.
Jazz completely stunned everyone when he just shrugged. “Search me,” he said truthfully. “We never got that far.” Ratchet just stared at him completely stunned before Jazz sent him an evil smirk. “By the way, did you bother checking out yourself when you were running around scanning everyone?”
Ratchet’s optics went bright with embarrassment as Wheeljack began choking and sputtering behind him. “No, but I haven’t really shown any of the signs,” Ratchet murmured.
“We’ve only been together for two weeks!” Wheeljack shouted aghast.
“For humans, sometimes it only takes just once,” Judy chuckled.
Wheeljack stared down at her in surprise before he whirled to Ratchet. “What?”
Ratchet was quick to try and placate his mate. “No, it’s fine. I would know, wouldn’t I? I’m the medic.”
Wheeljack heaved a sigh in relief as he gathered Ratchet into a hug. “Oh I don’t think I can take much more of this!” he muttered.
“But what did Primus have to say?” Sunny demanded as he glared at the other pregnant mech. “Did he tell you why it was only us?”
Jazz shrugged. “Well, he said he did give us the ability to have kids but it was up to the sparkling as to who it wanted to be with.”
“Wonderful,” Sunny muttered as he sat back down on the exam table. “How is that fair?”
“I don’t know,” Jazz shrugged.
“So it has nothing to do with Sam?” Optimus asked confused.
Sam shook his head. “Nope. The All Spark didn’t do anything to me. It’s just a way to communicate with Primus now.”
“Stupid rock,” Jazz muttered.
“Jazz! Show some respect, that’s the All Spark you’re talking about!” Prowl instantly chastised.
Jazz sighed as he leaned over on his husband’s shoulder. “Yeah, I know. Just… tired.”
“I think we’re all tired,” Optimus sighed. “It’s been a rather long day.”
“And we never did finish the movie,” Bumblebee muttered.
“No we didn’t, did we?” Barricade mused. “Back to the hanger then?”
“Count me out guys,” Jazz raised his hand. “I think I’m just going to lie down or something.”
“I should probably get him to bed,” Prowl announced as he stood up and steadied Jazz who looked at him rather amused.
“You’re not going to go get all overprotective of me now, are ya Prowlie?” Jazz chuckled.
“More like an overprotective papa,” Optimus chuckled and Ratchet and Ironhide chuckled behind him.
“What?” Prowl glanced at them compleatly confused. “What is a ‘papa’?”
“You are,” Jazz told him with a small laugh. “Now let’s go, I’m still hungry.”
“But what am I suppose to do?” Sunny demanded as he glared around at the group.
Ratchet glanced over at the other mech and sighed. “Just keep doing what you’re doing I suppose,” he murmured. “Just try not to strain yourself and no crazy antics. We don’t want you to get damaged and lose the sparkling.”
“Perhaps parenting classes would be in order.” Sam looked over at his mother horrified and Judy just looked back at him with a raised eyebrow. “It can’t be that much different than human babies.”
“The only difference is we come already able to talk, walk and cause a hell of a lot of mischief,” Ironhide chuckled.
“Still, I think that’s a wonderful idea Judy,” Optimus turned to her.
The woman nodded. “I’ll talk to Carol about it. She’s sure to be thrilled to have something to do,” she said before she turned stare across the room at Will. “And I’m sure captain Lennox would be more than happy to help out, wouldn’t you?”
Will blinked. “Err…”
“Wonderful! We’ll see about getting a class schedule up,” Judy turned back to Optimus.
Horrified, Will turned towards Ron who just gave him an apologetic look. “Hey, you try stopping her once she’s made up her mind,” Ron called out. “It’s like trying to stop a train.”
“Now where have we heard that one before?” Barricade drawled as he shot Sam a pointed look.
Sam just frowned up at him. “What?”
“Oh nothing…” Barricade and Bumblebee shared a smile and now Mikaela was snickering behind her hand.
Inferno stared at the two in complete confusion when his arm was suddenly snagged and he was almost yanked completely over. “So we’re done here Optimus?” Red Alert asked with a rather happy grin.
Optimus stared down at the enthusiastic mech. “Um… as far as I know…” he looked over to Ratchet.
“I don’t think that there’s anything more we can do about it tonight,” Ratchet shrugged.
“Great! Wonderful! See ya tomorrow!” Red chirped as he started dragging his husband out the door, Inferno putting up some resistance as he was hauled out of the hanger.
“Well, I think I’ll take a page out of Red’s book and head off to my own hanger,” Optimus chuckled as he glanced over at Ratchet. “We’re good?”
“Yup, we’re good,” Ratchet confirmed.
“Then I’ll bid everyone a good night,” Optimus nodded to group as he too left the hanger. Barricade suddenly found himself inexplicable glancing downward to see Frenzy watching the large Autobot leader leave with dark, sorrowful optics.
‘Megatron,’ Barricade suddenly realized who it was he was looking down at. He glanced back up at Optimus’ retreating form. ‘Primus, how must he be feeling now that he’s been able to see Optimus again?’
“Night all!” Jazz called out as he and Prowl left as well.
“Hound if you could drop us off at the barracks?” Judy asked politely.
“Of course,” Hound nodded.
“This has officially been one of the top ten days on my weirdest slag list,” Bluestreak announced to the room at large. “If anyone needs me, I’ll be hiding in my own hanger.”
“I’m out of here,” Sunny muttered as he snagged Sideswipe and followed the small Nissan out.
“Good night everyone,” Ratchet called out as they all started to make their way out of the hanger.
Wheeljack looked back at the medic who was still wandering around the hanger cleaning up. “You coming?” he called out.
“Yeah give me a minute. I just need to put my tools away.” Ratchet told him. He made short work of the assorted pieces and quickly slipped a small one into his transkit. “Okay, ready.”
Wheeljack nodded as he wrapped an arm around Ratchet’s shoulders and led the other mech out of the building. “I don’t know about you, but I’m not so sure I’m ready to take on the responsibility of a sparkling,” Wheeljack muttered.
Ratchet twitched. “Um… right.”
The lights soon switched off after they detected no motion in the hanger for a full five minutes before a small voice sighed in the darkness. “Doesn’t anyone want to know about my great news?” Perceptor asked the dark pitifully.
“Is it me or was this the day that never ended?” Bumblebee sighed as they finally made it back to their own hanger.
He jumped when the door was suddenly opened behind him and Soundwave and his team entered into the main part of the hanger. “Well?” Megatron suddenly spoke from Frenzy’s body. “What did he have to say?”
Sam sighed and allowed Barricade to place him back on the floor. “Believe it or not, but he was just as surprised about your return to our world as we were, though we at least know now as to why you’re able to share a body with Frenzy,” Sam shrugged.
“I would assume it now has something to do with the two Autobot’s current conditions,” Megatron drawled.
Sam nodded. “Yeah. Apparently Primus just altered everyone to be able to have kids, so that your people won’t die out.”
“Wait, Frenzy can have kids?” Rumble suddenly gasped as he looked over at his mate in totally shock.
There was a broken chuckle. “Why-why-why not?” Frenzy snickered.
“Because I’m not ready to be a ‘papa’!” Rumble shouted.
Ravage chuckled as he hopped back up onto the couch. “I don’t know. It would be nice to have a little ‘Con running around after all those Autobot sparklings.”
“I don’t think that it would be the most advisable,” Megatron took control once more.
“Wh-what?” Frenzy yelped. “Why not?”
“No he’s right,” Sam interjected quickly. “Primus said the same thing.”
“He did?” Frenzy turned now back to Sam.
The boy nodded. “Think about it. You’re not the only one in there and… er… well…”
Frenzy looked absolutely crestfallen before his body straightened. “See,” Megatron said aloud smugly.
“At least now we know,” Rumble sighed in relief. It took him a moment to realize that he was being stared at by not only all the humans but ‘Bee, ‘Cade and Megatron as well. “What?”
Megatron just chuckled. “You do realize what that means, right?”
Rumble frowned as Barricade took up the conversation. “It’s not like we have any sort of birth control implemented. So that only leaves one thing.”
Frenzy sighed and turned to his mate. “No sex.”
Rumble blinked at the new word and Soundwave even looked a bit confused as Barricade burst out into laughter. “He means you can’t merge until the situation with Megatron is resolved!”
“WHAT?” Rumble yelped in shock. “What do you-? I can’t believe that-! What the slag?”
Barricade just laughed harder while the other small ‘Cons joined him as Rumble glared at them all. Bumblebee just shifted awkwardly at the turn of the conversation but Sam himself was rather numb to the whole thing by this point. “Well, I’m just happy that we know about it now. Can you imagine if we didn’t and Sunny went into labor?” the boy chuckled.
Mikaela’s eyes widened and she fell back onto the couch with a peal of laughter. Ravage sent her a small glare as the couch bounced with the force of her movements. “Oh! Oh Primus!” She laughed. “That would have been entertaining!”
“I would say so,” Sam snickered.
Now even Bumblebee was laughing. “Oh poor Sideswipe! Sunny get’s grumpy enough but to add on pregnancy mood swings?”
“Does it explains his behavior since he arrived,” Barricade mused with a small smirk. “The painting, the abruptness, the lashing out at Sideswipe…”
The two mechs and humans all shared a grin as the other ‘Cons just looked on puzzled. “He was showing all the signs of a typical pregnant woman!” Mikaela explained laugh. “It’s a running joke on our planet.”
“I see,” Soundwave drawled.
“So what are we going to do now?” Rumble asked over the din of laughter. “I’m not living out the rest of my life without- um…” the small mech trailed off and waved his hand vaguely. “Do I have to spell it out?”
“No please,” Barricade held up a hand. “We got it.”
“Then what are we going to do about it?” Rumble demanded.
“I’m too tired to think,” Sam moaned as he plopped down on the couch between Ravage and Mikaela. “This day hasn’t ended yet! I want it to end!”
“Indeed,” Barricade nodded. “It would perhaps be best if we looked at this from a new angle in the morning.”
“YAY! Sleep!” They all looked over at Miles incredulously. “What? I’m tired!”
“I believe that is our cue to leave,” Soundwave announced with a small nod. “I bid you good night.”
“Good night Soundwave. Everyone,” Bumblebee nodded to the group as they began leaving.
“Hang on, I’ll walk you to your hanger,” Barricade announced as he stood up again. “They haven’t shot me yet, even after I painted Ironhide pink.”
Soundwave abruptly stopped and Barricade had to pull up short or run the risk of bouncing off his back. Soundwave turned around to show a look of utter amusement on his features. “You painted their gunner pink?” he asked slowly.
Barricade’s grin got larger if that was possible. “Twice!” he snickered much to Soundwave’s disbelief. “You should have seen him,” he laughed as they continued out again, his voice fading out as they exited the building. “I’ll show you the pictures when we get to your place…”
Mikaela shook her head as they disappeared out the door. “Well I don’t know about you guys, but I’m all tuckered out,” she announced to the room at large. “And I know that Ratchet is going to go over a crash course with me tomorrow on everything he’s learned about this new development.”
“Good night Mikaela,” Sam waved as she and Miles stood up.
“See ya tomorrow!” Miles called over his shoulder as the two trooped out of the hanger.
Sam sighed as the hanger fell into blissful silence. “Finally,” he grinned as he stretched out on the full length of the couch.
Bumblebee chuckled as he wandered over. “Comfortable?” he asked.
“Mmm…” Sam sighed contently. “I don’t know what it is, but it seems as if it’s been a really long time since this morning.”
“True,” Bumblebee chuckled. The two sat there in calm, content stillness, just allowing themselves to relax and take a breather.
“You guys didn’t already fall asleep, did ya?” Barricade asked as he entered the hanger once again.
“No we’re still here,” Sam muttered as he raised an arm.
Barricade glanced at the hand amused. “Since we’re here, up to watching the movie?”
Sam just chuckled as he snagged a chip out of the forgotten bowl. “A high action suspense thriller?” Sam chuckled. “I can think of nothing more relaxing.”
Barricade smiled and settled down on his boxcar as Sam reached for the remote and the room was filled with the sound of the opening credits.
Sam awoke the next morning to bright lights and a rather chilly breeze bombarding his back. “What the slag?” Sam muttered as he rolled around and glanced around the hanger.
He frowned as he took note of how high the ceiling was and glanced around surprised to find himself not in his loft, but rather down on the main floor sleeping on the couch. A quick glance at the TV showed the DVD’s main menu looping over and over. With a yawn, Sam moved to sit up when he was surprised to find his movements hampered by his comforter wrapped around his legs. “Slag it,” he muttered sleepily as he started to try and untangle himself.
There was a chuckle behind him. “Sorry about that,” Bumblebee leaned over. “We had a rather interesting debate on whether or not to move you to your bed or just leave you down here on the couch but you seemed to be so out of it we decided to compromise and drape you blanket over you.”
“No it’s fine,” Sam yawned as he glanced around. “Where’s Barricade?”
“He went out to speak with Soundwave and um… his teammate.”
Sam frowned at this for a moment before he realized exactly who it was that ‘Bee was talking about. “Oh, right,” he nodded as he finally managed to free himself. He yawned and popped his shoulder. “Do you think it’s wise to allow the ‘Cons to wander around without an escort?”
Bumblebee shrugged. “You know Barricade, he was out the door before even I woke up.”
Sam let out a small snort. “Typical ‘Con.”
“True,” ‘Bee nodded with a grin. “We best go after him and make sure he’s not up to something, like paining ‘Hide again.”
Sam chuckled and quickly took care of his morning business. Changing into fresh clothes he shoved the wrinkled ones into his hamper before he stepped over to the small gate and down into ‘Bee’s hand. “Let’s go.”
It didn’t take them long to find the ‘Cons. All they had to do was follow the shouting. “Here we go again,” Bumblebee groaned. “You know, I’m tempted to just say forget this and leave the base myself.”
“If only for us to take a break from all the arguing,” Sam agreed with a sigh.
“How about a nice long road trip?” Bumblebee chuckled.
“What about going on a trip?” Barricade asked as the two finally reached the small group.
“Oh just contemplating,” ‘Bee sighed before he looked over where Prowl and Wheeljack were arguing with Optimus, Ratchet and unsurprisingly, Judy. What was surprising was that Carol was also there and she seemed to be the one arguing the loudest with the two stubborn mechs. “What’s up now?”
“They’re freaking out because it finally sank into their processors that having a few ‘Cons on the base with Sparklings on the way may not be such a good idea,” Ravage announced with a sigh. “This is getting rather old.”
“We did kind of throw this all at them,” Bumblebee sighed.
“What?” Barricade glanced over at the yellow mech confused. “What are you talking about?”
‘Bee shrugged. “I’m just saying. Every time they turn around they’re confronted with what they thought to be sworn enemies just a few months ago and us asking them to ‘play nice’.”
“By Primus, I think he’s finally growing up,” Barricade drawled.
“What?” ‘Bee frowned at him.
“I still think that this whole thing is ridiculous,” Ravage continued.
“No kidding,” Rumble frowned. “It’s not like we even did anything… yet.”
“It’s the ‘yet’ that will get you into trouble kid,” a deep voice chuckled and the group turned to Frenzy.
“Will you keep quiet?” Barricade hissed with a quick glance at the arguing group to see if anyone heard. “It’s going to be hard enough to try and keep you hidden.”
“I haven’t said anything for over a month,” Megatron growled. “It’s nice to be able to chat again.”
“If the others find you, you can bet that there won’t even be an dispute. Prowl might just shoot you on sight in revenge for killing Jazz,” ‘Bee told him sharply.
Megatron heaved a depressed sigh. “I know.”
“Perhaps we should take this conversation else where?” Soundwave suggested as he glanced at the quarrelling mechs.
“What’s my mom doing there anyway?” Sam asked puzzled as he saw his mother was yelling at Prowl rather vehemently.
“She and Carol apparently were going over a few things with Optimus about the new parenting classes when the idiot twins showed up.”
“What about the Lambos?” the group turned to find Hound walking past, Blaster beside him. Barricade suppressed the urge to groan as he saw the Autobot’s communications officer was still throwing Soundwave small, shy glances. A quick look at Soundwave showed the ‘Con was completely oblivious.
“Oh, uh… nothing,” Bumblebee said hurriedly. Hound frowned but shrugged it off as he turned back to Blaster, pulling the other Autobot into a conversation about what sounded like the reproduction habits of sea sponges.
“That mech is strange,” Barricade drawled as they watched the two walk off.
“So what about our ‘problem’?” Rumble asked glancing at the two taller mechs once the other Autobots were out of range.
“Did we come up with a plan yet?” Megatron quickly added.
Barricade shook his head. “Not as yet,” he sighed. “You kind of doomed yourself when you left Primus’ world early.”
“That was not my fault! I wasn’t in control of my actions at that time, you know that!” Megatron growled.
“Hey guys!”
“Perceptor!” Bumblebee yelped as he whirled around, taking a moment to apologize to Sam as the human clung to his thumb in an attempt to regain his balance and keep down the multitude of chips and pretzels he had consumed the night before in lieu of dinner. “Oh… um…” Bumblebee glanced downward surprised to find that Rumble had quickly shoved Frenzy, or rather Megatron, behind Soundwave’s leg and Ravage and the two birds were sitting in front of them acting like some sort of shield. ‘Wow, they act quick.’
“Hello Perceptor,” Barricade greeted in a rather bored tone. “What’s been new with you?”
Perceptor glanced at him stunned at the inquiry before he shrugged nonchalautly. All the ‘Cons were instantly suspicious at the move. “Oh, nothing much,” Perceptor shrugged. “Worked on Ironhide’s cactus for a while, learned what that strange energy wave was, then ran some tests on a few projects I have going on, found Energon up north, then let’s see, I worked on my book and ran a few more tests and that’s pretty much it.” He shrugged again. “You know… the usual.”
“Good for you,” ‘Bee nodded absently, in a rush to get Perceptor to leave them alone. “It’s good to keep busy.”
“Yup. Well I’ll see ya later!” Perceptor waved as he turned around and began walking in the direction of the main hanger.
Bumblebee let out a sigh as the other Autobot left. “That was another close one.” He turned with a small triumphant grin only to find that all of the Decepticons were watching the scientist walk away in complete shock.
“Energon?” Laserbeak muttered in disbelief.
Buzzsaw glanced over at his partner. “Did he just say he found Energon?”
Everyone gaped as Perceptor disappear into the hanger and there was a groan from the direction of the ground. All of them looked over to see Megatron sigh and drop his head into his hand with a metallic thunk. “I knew I forgot something.”
