It was a cold stormy night, when THE contraction hit him.
Starscream prepared himself for another contraction; he had been having a lot of them lately.
The seeker groaned in pain, and sat up, back aching. He got up from his damp mattress, and leaned against the wall, heaving and gasping as the pain intensified. He waited for it to end, as it always did, but it didn't. The contraction continued, just as intensely painful, perhaps even more so. Then without warning, a gush of liquid dripped from behind his panel. He panicked as he was suddenly aware of his sparkling moving inside him. The seeker clasped his stomach, and let out a low moan. He looked toward the street, and in a rush of crazed adrenaline, he stumbled out of the alleyway and into the streetlight. He looked around frantically, optics dazed, not really looking for anyone in particular. Starscream felt someone grip his shoulder, and turned around to see a concerned face. He saw the stranger's mouth move, but he couldn't focus on the words coming out, only the high-pitched ringing sound in his mind.
The seeker gasped again at the piercing pain, as he strained himself to hear what the bot was saying.
"We have to go... hospital... now..."
Starscream's optics widened, and he muttered something shaky and incoherent, as he watched the stranger dial the emergency services.
He heard sirens blaring, and he could only make out a vague white shape as the ambulance screeched to a halt. He felt the paramedics guide him to the back of the vehicle, and lift him onto a medical berth. The seeker tried to bat them away, but he felt the energy seep out of him as he raised his arms.
"No... don't take my sparkling away..."
A nurse approached him.
"You can squeeze my hand if you want,"
Starscream ignored him and gripped onto the mattress.
He felt the ambulance stop, and the doors opened to a prison like grey building. The paramedics rushed the seeker through A and E, into a glaring white room.Out of the corner of his optic, he saw a blurry red and gold figure move towards him.
"S-Starscream?!"
