⚠️ B | Ironhide X Sunstreaker: Our Sparkling

Request by; @Emo_girl3365

Sunstreaker finds out the hard way about a mission gone wrong. Ironhide can't kill the sparkling, and by the time Ironhide goes into labor, both mechs can't wait for the birth of their sparkling. Later, even with a one-month-old sparkling, the two decide to have another.
Warning; brief mention of rape. Skip convo with Prowl if this is a sensitive subject.

For the past few days, Sunstreaker has noticed Ironhide has been acting very strange. He is being distant and blocking his side of the bond. Sunstreaker believes it's not a health issue. Jey goes to Prowl's office, hoping Prowl will tell him something.

"Do you remember Ironhide left to go on a mission three weeks ago?" Prowl asks. Sunstreaker nods, "The mission didn't go entirely as planned. Everybot ended up separated. Most of us regrouped within twenty minutes. I regret we thought Ironhide just hadn't found us yet. I searched for him...and discovered what kept him from finding us. I don't know if Megatron hoped one of us would see him, but I watched him brutally rape Ironhide. Ratchet gave him the news a few days ago that he's sparked."
"That's when he started acting strange."
"He wouldn't kill the sparkling just because Megatron is the sire, but that's not easy to ignore."
Sunstreaker knows he can't be pissed at Ironhide for not telling him. Even if there's going to be a sparkling in their lives. He believes Ironhide is hoping to tell him eventually.

Optimus walks into Ironhide and Sunstreaker's berthroom, seeing Ironhide sitting on the berth. Ironhide ignores his leader as Optimus sits on the berth beside him. Until Optimus tells him he knows the news, and Ironhide starts crying.
"...I can't kill it even though Megatron is the sire. I don't know if Sunstreaker will adopt the sparkling," Ironhide sobs.
"You have to talk to him. Even with how Sunstreaker is, he loves you. If you want, I can be part of the discussion."
"I don't know...."
Optimus decides to be part of the discussion.

Sunstreaker couldn't believe what he was hearing as lubricant leaks from Ironhide's optics. While he's pissed at what Megatron did, he can't make Ironhide get rid of the sparkling. He knows Ironhide isn't happy with how he became sparked, but can't kill the sparkling.
Optimus is pleased with how the conversation went.
"It's not how we want to become parents, but this sparkling will be loved," Sunstreaker smiles and kisses his sparkmate.

Ratchet can't believe how supportive Sunstreaker is. He knows Ironhide will still struggle with the fact Megatron is the sparkling's true sire, but even he'd choose to never tell the sparkling if they were his.
The parents to be choose to be surprised rather than know if Ironhide is having a mech or femme.

Months pass, and both mechs know Ironhide will go into labor soon-the two cuddle on their berth. Ironhide has been feeling pain but has been able to ignore it - until now. He gets off the berth, wondering if he needs to move around. That is, until fluid goes down his legs.
"Frag, Sunstreaker."
Now Ironhide feels intense contractions.
"No way labor just started. You think you can walk to the medbay?"
"I - no, frag!"
Ironhide gets on his knees, wondering how he ignored contractions until now.
Sunstreaker texts Ratchet, hoping they can get Ironhide to the medbay.

"He's close, but not yet," Ratchet tells the two.
"You've got to be kidding me?!" Sunstreaker argues.
"You want the health class lesson? I'm thinking five hours before he's ready."
Ratchet leaves the room.
Sunstreaker isn't liking Ironhide is in pain. Any movement hurts, but Ironhide tries to walk around the room.
"Frag, Sunstreaker, I can't do this. Let's just let Ratchet do surgery."
"Ratchet said you're almost ready. We'll see if we have a Femme or mech."

Ironhide gives up walking and lies on the berth. It's a rough two hours.
"Scrap, Sunstreaker, get Ratchet!"
Sunstreaker rushes out of the room while Ironhide gives in and pushes.

"This little one is in a hurry," Ratchet tells the two, "they're closer down than they should be."
Even with the sparkling's position, they're not moving far with every push. Ironhide thought he'd have his sparkling in less than five minutes.
"Come on, Ironhide. You're doing great," Sunstreaker praises, but a little worried something is wrong. Even though Ratchet isn't using any tools to help get the sparking out.

Sunstreaker worries as Ironhide gets tired. He finally sees the sparkling crowning.
"They're almost here, come on," Sunstreaker smiles.
Soon the three mechs hear a crying sparkling.
"It's a ( mech/femme)," Ratchet tells the two and puts the sparkling on Ironhide's chassis.
To their surprise, the sparkling barely has any features from Megatron.
Even with no features to say this sparkling is his, Sunstreaker already loves (him/her).

"Now?" Sunstreaker asks after Ironhide says they should have a sparkling that'll resemble both.
"We'll have help," Ironhide smiles.
Sunstreaker still isn't sure, but the two plan a date. To the others, it's a little time to themselves, but they'll find out what the couple was up to in a few weeks.
"At the very least, we're having a little fun," Sunstreaker smiles and kisses Ironhide.

"I'll get (him/her," Ironhide says until he stands up, "you get them."
Sunstreaker watches Ironhide rush to the Cybertronian-sized toilet and throw up.
"I think you have a half-sibling on the way," Sunstreaker smiles while holding the sparkling, "Ironhide, go see Ratchet. I can take care of (Y/D)."

(Y/D) is playing with a Cybertron toy when Ironhide returns. Sunstreaker is happy to see Ironhide smile while saying he's sparked. He kisses his sparkmate and rubs his frame though it's too early to feel kicking. They're up for the challenge and know they'll have support.
