New Life, New Obstacles

Chapter 29

It's been a couple of days and the femmes haven't woken up yet. Bulkhead was with Wheeljack by Arcee's side, Predaking was with Thunderhoof by Metalsound's side, and Ultra Magnus and Shockwave were with Steeljaw by Strongarm's side. Everyone was hoping and praying they would wake up.

Steeljaw was sitting next to Strongarm with his helm laying on her chest, listening to her spark pulsing, wishing she would wake up when he suddenly felt a servo touch his face. He looked up and saw Strongarm awake and looking at him, "Strongarm, you're awake."

She smiled at him, "We made a promise, remember? I'm not leaving your side."

He smiled back at her, "Yes we did," he leaned in to hug and kiss her. Ultra Magnus let out a sigh of relief, glad his daughter was going to be alright.

"I never thought I would be happy for the recovery of an Autobot, but I am happy she is still alive and starting to recover," says Shockwave.

Thunderhoof was watching them when he felt a nuzzle on his neck, he looked down to see Metalsound awake. He put his helm against hers, "Thank Primus you're awake, I was so worried."

"You can't get rid of me that easily," she teased softly, "Plus, Oto-san would have kicked my tail for leaving you alone."

Thunderhoof chuckled, "I'm glad."

With a soft purr, her wing draped over him.

Wheeljack was watching them, and then he looked down at Arcee, "Please wake up," he begged. There was nothing at first but then her optics started slowly opening.

"Wheeljack," she called softly as she looked around for him.

"I'm right here," he says as he leans over to get into her view, "Thank the Primes you woke up."

She places her servo on his cheek, gently caressing it, "How long was I out?"

"For a couple of days."

"Is the sparkling okay?" She asked with worry while resting her servo over her stomach protectively.

"Doc said the sparkling should be fine."

"Thank Primus."

"What did I say about calling me Doc!?" Ratchet growled light-heartedly.

"Whatever, Mr. Sunshine."

"Do you need anything?" Ratchet asked as he checked her vitals.

"No, I'm fine," she replied with a smile.

Strongarm puts her servo on her stomach, "The sparkling seems to be doing good, I feel it kicking."

"Really?" Steeljaw asked in awe.

"Yes, feel," she says as she grabs his servo and puts it on her stomach. Steeljaw jumped a little when he felt the sparkling kick, he was still amazed that there was a living being inside of his mate. Strongarm giggled at the sight of her mate jumping at the feeling of the sparkling kicking. He let out a soft laugh as he continued to feel his sparkling kicking, "He or she is gonna be a good fighter. Don't you think, Steeljaw?"

"Yes, they will."

"Just like their mother," Magnus said with a smile. Strongarm chuckled as a blush appeared on her face.

Metalsound let out a yelp, "There's no need to kick so hard little one," she chuckled in a whisper as she looked at her swollen stomach. She started whispering in Japanese, little words of comfort.

"Sounds like the little one will have my stomp."

"Do you want to feel?"

"Sure," he places his servo on her stomach, "It is kicking hard."
