Megatron's twin

73: The Surprise

I woke up in the medbay again. How long was I out?

Then Knockout strutted in. "About time!" He exclaimed and checked the IV, I followed the cable to where it entered my cables.

"How long was I out? I feel like I slept for a week." I huffed.

"Two weeks." Knockout corrected.

"Two whole weeks?" I said in surprise.

Knockout paused in his work, "Two and a half weeks." He added, "Mind you, Megatron has been in a bad mood." He muttered

I blinked, I guess that means he cares.

You're awake? Egg asked.

Yes, how did you know?

Felt your surprise. She said, I felt like you were going to miss my surprise. She said dramatically.

What surprise-Oh, What is it? I asked.

You'll find out later. She said, You know, I was worried. She started, I woke up and I couldn't feel your spark, I even went looking for you! Then Soundwave had to fish me out of Shockwave's lab! She exclaimed dramatically.

He didn't harm you?

He was focused on trying to reinforce my cage, Soundwave took good care of me. She added.

I'll thank him for that.

And your berth is littered in eggs. She added.

Nice.

I'll let you rest now. Tell me when you can come out.

Ok. I said and realized Knockout was staring at me, "Yes?"

He rolled his optics, "I was trying to get your attention for the past few clicks." He exclaimed, "I replaced your faceplate, it just has to grow together." He added, I felt over it, there were some cracks but those would go.

"And your systems recovered quickly, but some things are still offline; your com and some wires." He explained, "That's why you'd be feeling sleepy." He said and started organizing stuff.

I checked my com, it didn't work. Then I found around fifty voice messages, one from Ratchet and the rest from Optimus.

I went through them. I got some frustrated sighs from Optimus first, he didn't bother to use voice mail. But then.

"Are you alright?"

"Are you angry at me or something?"

"I know you're not offline, your com would be unavailable." He huffed.

"Are you in a bad condition? Did your spark play up?" He asked, well it's nice he cares.

"Look, if this is about me ripping Megatron's arm off, I'm sorry." He said.

"You're over reacting, he got it fixed two days ago."

Then Ratchet, "Can you just call him, he's driving me up the wall."

I giggled, Knockout raised a ridge.

Then there were some more angry, defeated sighs.

"When will my com work again?" I asked him.

"A while?" He shrugged and turned back to work.

Well, scrap. Ratchet will have to deal with him. I looked over to Knockout and to the door, I slowly took the IV out and snuck away.

Might as well let Megatron know I was alright. I skipped off to the command unit, having to take a few rests before I got there.

I got into the command unit, he wasn't there. So I went to his berth room, stopping to rest a few times.

I knocked on the door, anger flared from his side of the spark bond. "I said I was to be left alone." He hissed as he opened the door. Then he looked surprised.

"Hi." I greeted, he stared at me. Anger and relief came through him. "Why are you angry?" I asked, that's probably not something you'd ask if someone were angry.

"Because you are so stupid." He said, closing his optics in frustration.

That's not what I expected, then again, what did I expect? "Ok." I said, "And why are you relieved?" I asked.

"Because you don't look like you're on the verge of offlining anymore." He grumbled and looked down.

I hugged him, "Love you too." I said, he needed to practice saying those words.

He huffed a sigh ad reluctantly hugged back.

"I heard that Optimus tore your arm off." I told him and let him go. Megatron had nothing to say, then.

"Who told you that?" He asked, I feel like, if I told him, Optimus would lose an arm.

"I got a bunch of voice mails." I told him.

"From?"

"Someone." I said and almost fell over due to tiredness.

Megatron noticed, "Best you rest." He told me, I nodded in agreement and headed to my berthroom, saying a small 'goodbye' as I left. I even got one back!

Once I got to my berth room, I had to clear all the Eggs of my berth and stashed them in a drawer. Egg became aware I was in the area.

She squawked to get my attention. Come.

I walked over to her nest and got down. I looked in and there were three eggs in her nest.

And they're fertile. She added as if she were advertising.

It took a bit to sink in.

They're due in a few days! Egg giggled.

That's great! How? I asked her and tried to get a better look.

Ratchet did some magic science stuff. She said.

"With his spike?" I asked, a little worried.

What? NO! And Soundwave doesn't know, he just thinks that they're really treasured eggs. But I told Laserbeak, he didn't tell Soundwave, he agreed to help Sire them! Egg was so exited.

"That's great!" I said, trying my best to stay awake.

You good? She asked.

"I wasn't actually supposed to leave the medbay." I told her.

Ooh, go get some recharge then, I'm going to do the same. She said.

"Alright, I'm going to thank Ratchet later too." I told her, "In person, my coms aren't working and Optimus is worried too." I added.

Then visit them tonight, I'll be fine. Egg told me, I gotta look after my babies. She said proudly.

I laid down on my berth and quickly fell into recharge.
