I paced as silently as possible, trying to keep from wakening my sparkmate. My hand rested over my abdominal plating as I continued to pace. These sparklings were a handful.

See, but there was a reason to my pacing. I had yet to tell Optimus. He was always busy, so I had no time. One of these days though, I will tell him.

The only ones who know, right now, are Ironhide (my brother), Bumblebee, and Ratchet. Of course, Ratchet knew when my mood swings appeared. He had me tested the day my mood swings became slightly violent.

Ever since then, he has threatened to lock me in the Medbay. I really don't want that. So, I wait to let my moods out when I am alone.

Sighing, I leave the berthroom heading to the main hangar. Lennox is the only human up. In his hands is a mug of coffee.

When he hears my pedesteps, he looks up, a little surprised. I smile and wave, then feel a pain in my tank area. I rest my hand over my adominal plating, whispering to my sparklings in the old language.
Lennox watches me a moment.

"What have you told 'Hide and not me? Every time I talk to him about you, he changes the subject." Lennox asks quietly.

I blink before registering what he said. I look away, silently cursing myself and my brother. I look back up and give the mech human a meaningful glance. He arches a brow.

"I'm...I'm pregnant. With twins." I say slowly.

Lennox's eyes widen.

"But you cannot tell Prime." I add.

"You cannot tell me what, sweetspark?" That baritone voice replies.

Me and Lennox share a look before turning to look at Optimus. I vent sharply causing a frown to cross his face. Lennox walks down the stairs and pats my pede.

"I will keep the others out." He murmurs.

I nod, a smile coming to my lips. He pats my pede once more before leaving the main hangar. I look at the ground before looking up.

"What have you been hiding from us? From me?" Optimus asks once we are alone.

"I haven't been able to tell you..." I start slowly. "I...I am carrying your sparklings. Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Ironhide knew. Ratchet was the first."

Optimus frowns and I watch his servos clench in anger. I lay my servo on his chest plating above his spark chamber.

"Do not be mad at them. Be mad at me." I whisper.

Suddenly, another pain hits me and I gasp out. Resting his servo on my stomach, I watch as many emotions cross his face.

"I cannot be mad at you, Livewire. I just wish you had told me sooner. How long have you been carrying?" Optimus inquires.

"6 months. And because of my creators and my grandsire, there is a chance that the sparklings could come in the next three months. Or, next week for all I know." I reply.

I study him a moment.

"You said sparklings..." He states the question as a phrase.

"Yes I did. I am having twins."

He smiles and embraces me, and I return the gesture, smiling. We stay like this for the longest time.
