'The Affair' Tfp Fanfic

Chapter 12

Shadow's Pov.

I stood next to Optimus as Ratchet and Bulkhead watched over the mission. I had never let my daughter out in the field, in fear of losing her. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost her like I did my son. "S-She's a strong femme...." I snapped outof my thoughts as I looked down to Optimus, he looked up to me. His voice sounded awful and weak, like it hurt to speak. "She'll be fine..." he reassured me, I sighed as I turned to face him and sat next to him.

"You shouldn't be talking Optimus." I moved as I rested the back of my hand on his forehead. I frowned as he was getting hot to the touch. "You're starting to burn up." I said as I thought a moment, I then pulled a bottle from my subspace and looked it over a moment. I opened it and looked to him again "This should help, for now."

"What is.....it?" He spoke slowly as he watched me, his optics flicking as he did. I gave a worried look but shook it away "Something that'll slow the virus down, least for a little bit." I explained, he nodded slightly as i watched him try lifting his head. I moved as I helped him sit up enough to drink the medicine. He groaned in pain after finishing and I helped him lay back down.

"T-Thank you.." I looked to him as I put the bottle where it'll be disinfected. "No need to thank me, the least I can do." I moved as I looked at his vitals again and felt his temperature again. It was settling a bit, I sighed softly, that's good for now at least. It'll give the bots time to look but not much. "As gentle as I remember you being.." I looked down to Optimus as he relaxed under my touch.

He gave a small weak smile to me, I couldn't stop the sad smile appeared on my lips. "You need to be resting, not talking." I pulled my hand away tell I felt his hand grab my wrist weakly. I looked to his hand before lookto him. "I know you're still mad at me....for what has happened...but I never stop..." he ended up taking a deep raspy breath as his optics flickered off a few moments then back on.

I sat next to him as I gently held his hand in both of mine. "Don't speak, you're only draining you energy faster." He looked to me as I spoke "Please, rest now." I glanced over my shoulder seeing the others weren't paying attention. Optimus gave a sigh as he laid his head back and did as told. I smiled gently as I gave a gentle kiss to his hand before letting go and moving back to continue watching his vitals.

I frowned as I went over to Ratchet "How is he?" Bulkhead asked as he turned to me. "Not to good, we don't have time to waste. Any luck?" I asked as I looked to them. "Not yet." Ratchet said in worry and frustration, I looked to the screen before comming my daughter. "Gaze, you remember where you uncles room is?"  I asked, everyone looking at me as I spoke. "Yea, like I said I know this ship front to back. Why?" Stargaze spoke over the coms.

"Good, while Arcee and Bee look through the main frame. You'll get Megatron's Journal, he wrote everything down during the war. If we're lucky, he would have documented when he made the virus." I said as I looked to Optimus slightly hearing him coughing and whizzing. I gave a sympathy look as I knew he was in a lot of discomfort but there was nothing to be done. "On it Carrier." I got off and went back to Optimus side.
