(Time Pass: Optimus' PoV)

It had been a couple of week since Bobby was captured. We had all been so excited for the big day... but she was gone now, taken by Megatron. We were trying to find her and get her back home, but with limited human technology it was almost impossible. I had been pacing behind Ratchet, who was trying to find the Nemesis on the computer, for hours on end, doing nothing else. I kept glancing at him and the computer, trying to see if he found something, but it was no use. After more pacing Ratchet stopped me.

"OPTIMUS," he yelled, very annoyed.

"Yes, Ratchet," I asked him expecting news.

"STOP PACING!!! PLEASE!" My helm drooped and I walked away into my berthroom. I sat down on the berth and looked at a book we had been reading, or I had been reading for her since she still couldn't sound out big words: Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. I picked up the datapad and flipped through it. It was a wonderful book, full of magic, danger, and suspense. My favorite character was Hagrid, mostly because he had humor, kindness, and he was tall.

I stopped flipping through it and I landed on the chapter where Harry, Hermione, and Ron go down under the school. I read the first sentence and then just stared at the book, not taking in any words. What was I to do? I couldn't do what I did last time, he had learned my tricks and tactics. Maybe I could negotiate with him, I thought, though what would he want? A fair battle with me? Or a valuable possession? Probably a possession, but what?

(Bobby's PoV)

Knockout had just finished scanning me again.. for some weird reason, and I was reading my book. I was near the end and I wanted to finish it really badly. Then I heard something drop to the metal floor. I looked up to see Knockout looking at the screen, his datapad on the ground.

"Knockout what's wrong," I asked him, curious. He paused for a moment but then spoke.

"I-uh...... nothing.... nothing at all," he sputtered. I raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure," I asked him, getting off my pallet. He turned to face me.

"No... nothing," he replied. I shrugged and went back to my pallet, but I watched as Knockout went into the next room. He commed someone. I listened intently but I only heard a few words since the doors were metal.

"Bobby...... child..... Optimus Prime's," were the words I heard Knockout say. What, I thought. Knockout would never keep secrets from me, even though we hadn't known each other for very long. I wondered what he meant when it began to dawn on me. Am I....... with pup? (Yes I said pup! What else would it be!?) I looked at my stomach the book was resting on. I didn't feel anything, or see anything different since the last time I looked at myself, which was when Optimus and I were sitting at the breakfast table at home. I had to ask Knockout to tell the truth. When he came back he looked at me warily. I gave him an intense gaze in return.

"Knockout...... am I," I asked him. I didn't have to finish my thought because he already knew what I was asking. He knew I had heard him talking.

"Yes," he said nodding. I lowered my head. What if Megatron would want to hurt it.. or me? I felt Knockout put a finger tip below my chin. He lifted my head so I would meet his gaze.

"It's going to be okay. I won't let anyone hurt you.... or it," he said softly. Smiling up at him, I hugged his face. I felt him grin against my furry chest. Then I let go and met his gaze again.

"Thank you Knockout. You're a true friend," I said, grinning at him.

He blushed slightly," Thank you Bobby. It's nice to have some company that likes me."
