Aleena's POV:

Ratchet immediately rolled out another berth for me to lay on. I was laying on the berth that was next to Optimus and I looked over at him. He was still unconscious and was fighting to stay alive. I grabbed his servo, held it in mine and I sent him waves of love through our bond to comfort him. "Optimus, please...stay with us," I said with a bit of a strain in my voice. I squeezed my optics shut and screamed in pain because the contractions were extremely painful. "AAAAGH!" "I know Aleena. But we're going to get this little guy out ok?" said Ratchet. I nodded my helm and screamed again. "Arcee, can you take care of this? I have to take care of Optimus," said Ratchet. Arcee nodded her helm. "Aleena, I want you to give it all you've got. I want you to push ok?" I nodded my helm and looked at Optimus. Ratchet induced stasis on him and went straight to work. "Primus, please let him live. Please let Optimus live," I whispered. I looked at Arcee and said,"Ready." "Ok. Ready? Go." I started pushing our little mech out. I screamed in pain but I kept on pushing and pushing. "AGH! IT HURTS SO MUCH!" I yelled. "I know but you can do it. You're doing great Aleena. Keep going," said Arcee. I screamed and kept on pushing until I heard a sparkling's cry. When I heard him cry, I smiled. "He's here. He's here. Congratulations Aleena. Here's your little mech," said Arcee and she handed him over to him and I held him close to my chassis. I looked down at him and I started to cry tears of joy. "He's so beautiful," I said. The sparkling had a mixture of gray, red and blue paint on his body and he had my pedes, my optics and he had his father's arms, thighs and legs and helm. Myrina, Neera, Irina, Bulkhead, Smokescreen, Bumblebee, Miko, Agent Fowler, Jeremy, Jack and Raf came to the med bay and smiled when they saw him. "Awwww," they all said in unison. "He's so cute," said Miko. "Awwww," said Jeremy and Agent Fowler. "Cutie pie," said Irina. "Hey little guy," said Bulkhead. "Hello. Welcome to the world," said Smokescreen. "Hello," said Raf. "Hey buddy. You're cute," said Jack. "Congrats to you, Optimus and Myrina Aleena," beeped Bumblebee. "Yeah. Congrats," said Neera. "You did very well. Congratulations to all three of you," said Arcee. I smiled and said,"Thank you. Myrina, do you want to hold your brother?" Her faced literally just lit up when I asked her that. "Yes please Mommy," she said. Bumblebee picked her up and placed her next to me on the berth and I gave him to Myrina. She looked down at her brother and smiled and kissed his forehelm. "I love you," she whispered to the little mech. "What are you guys going to call him?" said Bulkhead. I looked down at Myrina who was still holding him and said,"Orion. Orion Pax." Everyone looked at me with a surprised look when I said Optimus's former name before he became a prime. Then we saw Ratchet come to us with a grave look on his face. "First of all, congratulations. I was able to mend Optimus's wounds and put more energon in him. However, he's in a stasis lock or, as what humans call it, a coma," said Ratchet. We lowered our helms/heads in grief. Ratchet explained to us that damage on Optimus was really severe and he wasn't so sure if he was going to survive or not. "I will be keeping an optic on Optimus and I will inform all of you at once if anything happens," he said. "Thank you Ratchet," I said and he nodded his helm. "Alright everyone. Let's leave the mom and sparkling alone so they can rest for a few minutes," said Ratchet and they all left. I held Orion in my arms and started nursing him. I looked at Optimus and said,"Hey Optimus. Our son is here. He's here with us. His name is Orion Pax and he looks a lot like you. I hope and pray that you will pull through because we need you. The team needs you. Our sparklings need you. I need you." I handed Orion over to Ratchet because he needed to make sure that our son was healthy and strong. I knelt down next to Optimus and cradled his helm in my arms and rubbed his face gently with my right servo. Two tears slid down my face and landed on Optimus's and I rested my helm on his, rubbing against it lovingly. "I love you Optimus. I love you," I whispered to him and I planted a kiss on his forehelm. Then I sat down on his berth and laid down next to him. I rested my helm on his chassis and felt it slowly rise and fall and I was listening to the steady beating of Optimus's spark. I laid there on the berth with him hoping and praying that he would survive. That he will still be with us. That he will be able to hold Myrina and Orion in his arms. That he will still be with me until we both become one with the AllSpark. That's all I could do right now. Hope and pray.
