Life's New Adventures and Secrets

Chapter 37

Arcee and Wheeljack are in their quarters joined by their son. So this is our son, huh?

Yep. "Seajumper, could you go play in your room for a while? I need to talk with your mom."

"Is everything alright? Mom seems a bit out of it."

"Everything's fine, we just need some time to talk."

"OK," the young mech said before he ran to his room.

Arcee watched as the sparkling left for his room, "He looks like you," she said quietly.

"Like you too."

"How did we get together?" She asked with a little hesitation.

Wheeljack chuckled, "Oh dear, um I kept pursuing you until you finally gave in."

"Oh really?" She asked with a raised optic ridge.

"Yes, to be honest, I was always the type to flirt with femmes and make them think we would have something only to get them into bed and then just up and leave them. But you wouldn't fall for my charms and techniques making me really work for you and in the end, I found myself working to get your spark and love more than anything. When I finally got it I told myself that I would never leave you or let you go, I fell in love with you by the end of it all."

"So you were a Casanova?" She asked as she placed a servo on her hip.

He chuckled nervously, "Yes, I was until I met you and you changed me."

"Did I tell you about Tailgate and Cliffjumper?"

"Yes, I know all about them."

"Then you should see why I must have made you work for it."

"Yes. In fact, Bulkhead explained it all to me."

"He did?"

"Yep. Do you remember what Octopus did to you?"

"No. I still can't believe that I was cuddling with the mech that assaulted me," she felt dirty, even though she couldn't remember what he had done.

"You didn't know, you thought he was a good guy and cared for you, he tricked you."

"Could you kiss me?"

"Sure," he replied just before he leaned in to kiss her. She met him halfway, his lips tasted so good. She wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. Are you enjoying this?

Yes.

I'm glad.

Metalsound slowly made her way into their quarters, feeling like she was in someone else's territory. She kept looking over her shoulder and sniffing the air, "It's okay, Metalsound, this is your place. Our place."

"Oka-san, you're back!" Metalsound jumped before she moved to the side, avoiding the young femme's hug. Emberwing instead collided with her father.

"This is your daughter, Metalsound," Thunderhoof said as he picked up Emberwing.

Metalsound just looked at the sparkling with uncertainty, "My daughter?" She echoed as she tilted her helm.

"Oka-san, are you okay?" Emberwing asked feeling confused and a little hurt that her mom avoided her hug.

"Yes, your daughter. Can't you see the resemblance?"

Metalsound looked at Emberwing for a moment and she started to panic. She ran out, "Metalsound, wait!"
