Knockout x Cyclone

Chapter 14: The Sparkling Arrives (Cyclone's pov)

Me and Knockout were relaxing in the medbay. I sat there and rubbed my nine month round tank. The sparkling was growing and we all were getting excited. Especially Starscream. I never thought I'd see Starscream smile at the thought of the sparkling joining the world.

"So, it's a femme...and you're naming it Toni?" Breakdown asked.

"Yeah, I don't really like Cybertronian names so...I really like the name Toni" I said.

Breakdown nodded in understanding and Knockout smiled. He walked over and placed his servos on my tank and rubbed it softly. I smiled and hummed in response. I looked at him and he smirked softly.

"I can't wait to meet her..." He said softly.

"The same feeling applies for me" someone said.

We looked over to see Megatron standing in the door. Ever since I started staying on the Nemesis, he's been nicer to me. He forgave me for the death of his daughter and now, he treats me like I'm his own. I smiled and looked at my tank and felt the sparkling kick. The kicking was painful but, I never really told Knockout. I didn't want him to know. Anyway, I stood up and looked at one of my servos. There sat the ring that Knockout had given me. Yes, me and Knockout were married so the sparkling just had one last name. We decided to stick with the Prime for her last name. I started walking towards the door and I felt something painful down below. I winced and stopped in my place.

"Cyclone? You alright?" Breakdown asked.

My legs shook a bit and I looked down to see a bit of energon dripping down them. I looked at Knockout and he knew automatically what had happened. My water broke and the sparkling was coming. She was two weeks early! I started to hyperventilate as Knockout led me to the med berth. I laid down and groaned at the pain.

"Breakdown, make sure she stays calm, my liege, I'd like to ask you to leave..." Knockout said.

Megatron nodded and left the medbay. Knockout walked over to the end of the berth, where he placed my peds up on some ped holders. I groaned again and Breakdown held my servo. I screamed in pain and gripped his servo harder. I heard him wince and I looked at him with lubricant tears streaming down my face.

"Sorry..." I whimpered.

"It's fine..." He muttered.

"Alright Cyclone...I need you to push, okay?" Knockout asked.

I nodded and started to push. The pain was terrible and I squeezed Breakdown's servo again. He started wiping my tears away and I was getting tired. This lasted for at least two hours. I was nearly out of breath until I heard my husband sigh.

"I know you're tired but, you gotta do it one more time so I can grab her" He sighed.

"This is extremely painful..." I said, breathlessly.

"I know, I'm sorry" he apologized.

"But it's worth it!" Breakdown said, bringing the positivity back.

I smiled and pushed one last time when I began to hear soft crying. Breakdown had a big smile on his face and wiped some more of my tears away.

"You did good..." He said.

He lifted the head of the berth so I could somewhat sit up. Knockout stitched me back up down below and Breakdown had my sparkling. Once Knockout finished, he took the sparkling from Breakdown and walked over to me. He somewhat knelt down and he had tears in his optics. I've never seen him cry before but, this was a good reason. He helped me deliver our wonderful daughter. He handed her to me and the tears in my optics flowed down.

"She's so adorable" Breakdown cooed softly.

"Thank you" Knockout replied.

She was a light shade of red and grey. She was small and had the insignia of an Autobot. Though, she wasn't an Autobot, she wasn't a Decepticon. She was both. I smiled at her and she slowly opened her optics. Her optics were a sky blue and I smiled softly.

"Hello Toni..." I cooed softly.

She smiled and made cute cooing noises. The door of the medbay opened and there stood Megatron with Starscream at his side. They both walked over and as soon as Starscream leaned over to get a good look at Toni, she threw up on him. He screamed and ran out of the medbay quickly. I heard her giggle and I smiled. I looked down at her and cleaned her mouth softly.

"Welcome to Earth...young one..." Megatron spoke softly.

She didn't cry, nor throw up on him. She just stared at him. Knockout chuckled at her reaction and I smiled softly.

"Knockout...we should tell my father..." I said, sleepily.

"Maybe when you're able to actually walk..." He replied.

I nodded and he took Toni slowly. She smiled at him and moved her arms around towards him. He stuck a digit toward her and she slowly took it. She didn't have much of a grip though. Knockout smiled and softly bounced her in his arms.

"I love you Toni...I'll protect you with my life..." He muttered.

I smiled and fell asleep. A few days later, I was able to walk around and we went to go see my father and the rest of the Autobots. When the ground bridge opened, Toni looked happily at the colors. I smiled and me and Knockout walked in. On the other side, we entered the Autobot base.

::Oh my Primus! She's adorable!:: someone beeped excitedly. 

I looked over and Bee walked over to us. Toni looked at him and giggled happily at him. He continued to beep and whir as she continued to giggle. She met everyone in the team, especially the new mechs, Smokescreen and Wheeljack. Smokescreen got to hold her and so did everyone else. My father walked out and Knockout hid behind me.

"Hello dad..." I said softly.

"Hello Cyclone...is this my grand sparkling?" He asked.

I nodded and Toni looked up at him. She didn't giggle but, she did smile. She had the same reaction with Ratchet. I walked over and pointed to my father.

"This is my father, your grand-father" I said.

She looked at me confused and I sighed. It's too early for her to understand that yet. I sighed as Arcee held her softly. Even the humans got to meet her! They adored her! I slowly reached out for Toni and Arcee gave her to me.

::Will you ever come back?:: Bee asked.

"Yeah, that was fun!" Smokescreen said.

I giggled and looked at my daughter. She smiled at me and sighed.

"Maybe..." I sighed.

At that, me, Knockout, and Toni left to go back to the Nemesis.

(Tada! Sparkling has arrived and now, you get to see how life went after her birth...even the one thing that changed her life forever. Anyway, hope you have a good day! Bye!)
