Never Thought (Transformers prime smokescreen)

Laura

                   Laura was at base with the kids and June and the autobots. She was sitting against a wall her legs to her chest hugging her knees.

She groaned. Laura was so nauseas. Smokescreen kept asking her if she was all right and it annoyed her to no end. Of course she kept her cool and didn't snap at him. She assured him she was fine.

Then the alarms started to blare. Decepticon activity near Mount Everest.

"Laura,smokescreen,come with me. The rest stay here." Optimus said.

Laura rose to her pedes and swayed a little. She moaned. Then her Optics widened and she ran towards her berth room so fast she was a pink blurr. Optimus looked in her direction in worry. Ratchet had been eyeing Laura ever since she had been feeling bad. Optimus and smokescreen both walked in Laura's direction where she ran but Ratchet held up his servo.

"I'm a doctor let me handle this." Ratchet said. He walked into her berthroom and heard her spewing into the giant Cybatronian sink in her bathroom. She stopped and vented hardly. She walked out and noticed ratchet looking at her

"What?" She asked.

"Sit down." Ratchet ordered.

"Okay." She sat on her berth as Ratchet ran his servo over each joint of her back struts.

"Breath in and out." She did as told. He pressed his servo over her spark chamber and Laura flinched. Ratchets optics widened.

"Laura. Have you been feeling weak? Feeling dizzy? Drained of energy?" Ratchet asked.

"Yes and I've been puking and feeling sick." She stated. She squinted at him. "What are you getting at?" She asked.

"Laura......" Ratchet hesitated. "Your sparked."

Laura looked at him with a blank face. She was confused as to what he was talking about.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten about what I told you about being sparked!" Ratchet said unbelievably. She blinked.

"Your pregnant." He stated simply. Laura's Optics widened.

"Uh oh." She said.

"What?" He asked. She grabbed his servo panicky.

"Ratchet you have to promise me you won't tell a soul!" Laura said panicked.

"Cross my spark?" He hesitated.

"Promise!" She snapped.

"Promise!" He said quickly. "Now spit it out what is it?"

"I've slept with smokescreen.........and Optimus." She hung her helm.

"I know." Ratchet said simply. Laura's helm popped up.

"Huh?" She said Astonished.

"I notice everything Laura...its part of being a medic." Ratchet stated.

"Oh." Was all she said. "Well then is there a way we can tell who's sparkling it is?"

"Yes but we'll have to do that after the mission. I'll just talk with Optimus-"

"No!you can't! Not yet!" She panicked.

"Laura-"

"Please?" Laura begged. She didn't know why but she was scared.

"Fine but you had better tell him." Ratchet snapped.

"Fine. But not right now."

"Come lets go before they get suspicious." Ratchet said. Laura loved ratchet. He may have been a grump but he sure was helpful.

They walked out.

"She should be fine. Just let me give her something." Ratchet stated. He stuck a needle full of a dark blue liquid into her. "This will ease the affects of your pregnancy." He whispered to her. She nodded. She was scared but excited! She was going to be a mother! A mother at the age of 18! She panicked then. How would she tell her parents?!

Optimus gave her a worried glance. She nodded and smiled assuring him she was fine.

He hesitated as he said,"Autobots.....roll out!" They all transformed and sped through the groundbridge.

Laura shivered as they made it through. The wind blew hard that day. She then walked behind the bigger mechs hoping they would shield her from the icy winds.

"They have Been building a mine in the mountain for a while it seems." Optimus stated squinting his optics to get a closer look. He walked towards the entrance. Laura walked right behind him so he would block the wind. Smokescreen walked along side bee.

Shots then whizzed by and Laura remembered vehicons were terrible shooters. Optimus and the other mechs transformed their weapons. They all charged. Laura ran past the mechs and jumped on a cons shoulders and sliced his head off with her pedes. As the con fell she jumped off slicing two vehicons at the same time. They fell with a thud. She then kicked a vehicon away from her as she kicked off of him and flipped into the air. She dodged shots and attempted blows as she punched a vehicon sending it flying against the wall. This was shocking do to her height. She was just as tall as Arcee maybe a small amount shorter but it was really hard to tell. They looked the same height.

Once the scout cons were cleared the autobots made their way inside of the mine. Laura shivered and absentmindedly put a servo over her flat metal stomach. Soon, it would be bulging with life. She shivered with anticipation.

Optimus seemed to stay right by her side the whole time. Laura noticed he was more protective then usual. It's like he sensed something. Laura knew he didn't know she was pregnant or else he would have said something. It's like he just had a feeling to protect her. An extra prime sense she guessed.

Smokescreen,however, was so focused on the mission,or something else (Arcee), that he barely glanced at her. Laura felt hurt. Her spark ached. He was slowly slipping away from her. Into the servos of Arcee. But then there was Optimus. It was obvious she couldn't have them both. Optimus knew that.

He glanced at her. She was shivering violently. He walked closer to her in hopes it may give her some warmth.  She looked up at him and he gave her a small but effective smile. She smiled back.

They closed into the mine and noticed the mine looked abandoned. Laura walked forwards but Optimus stopped her.

"It could be a trap." Optimus stated. "One of The decepticons could have contacted Megatron before they were offlined."

Laura nodded. Turns out Optimus was right because before Laura could even comprehend what was going on she was grabbed by that stupid predacon. He cupped her mouthplates so she couldn't scream and draw attention from smokescreen and Optimus who were both scouting the place out.

Laura thrashed but she was no match for Predakings amazing strength. He transformed and just as he started fly Optimus and Smokescreen came running out of the mine.

"Laura!" Smokescreen's worried optics were so wide. She then realized that smokescreen really did care for her.

"Laura!" Optimus shouted. Laura couldn't keep her optics open. They closed and Laura fell into a sleep. The liquid ratchet gave her had worn off and she was now exhausted.
