My Worst Enemy {Transformers Story}

Chapter Fifteen

Chapter Fifteen

Four months passed, the ever present thought of war still watching from a distance. Megatron and Starscream had settled now, time healing the deepest wounds...and now Starscream was expecting.

"Now you know how it feels." Megatron chuckled, stroking his partner's already growing middle.

"But you weren't due with triplets." the Seeker groaned, pointing an accusing claw at his mate. Megatron grinned.

"You are a Seeker, my dear. That is just how you are." he purred, nuzzling Starscream even though the mech seemed annoyed by the affection.

"Still..."

"Hush. Get some rest." Megatron insisted, easily pushing Starscream onto his back with his large hand. Starscream huffed.

"Oh, like I can sleep with all this extra weight on my spinal cables!"

"I managed it."

"But you are Lord Megatron." Starscream teased, receiving a warm kiss from his companion from that little comment.

"I think I trained you to the best of my abilities. Good boy."

"I am not an Earth pet!"

"Quiet. Now is time for sleep." Megatron growled, voice far more commanding now.

Deciding there were better battles to fight, Starscream went into a restless recharge, occasionally kicking or flopping around. Megatron even forgave the time when a pede rammed into his aft at one point during the night. Remembering how gentle and latent Starscream had been with him, the mech gave Starscream a gentle nip on his jaw before rolling over and settling into recharge.

"All looks well." Knock Out said, patting Starscream on his shoulder while the Seeker growled a little at him.

"How much longer?"

"Oh, I would say a week at the most." Knock Out chuckled, flashing Starscream a somewhat vengeful look. "It only hurts for a second or two."

"Shut up." Starscream snapped back, optics narrowed in annoyance. "Just wait until you have a sparkling!"

"Excuse me?"

"Don't think for a second I can't hear you and Breakdown. These walls are not sound proof."

"Wha-I! We never!-"

"You are not fooling anyone, Knock Out." Starscream snickered, managing to get off the medical berth with his distended middle. "I want to leave." he whined a little, nuzzling his mate's jaw a little.

"Yes, it is not good for you to be so stressed before the sparklings arrive." Megatron said, his usually brutal manner so gentle now. He wanted nothing to harm his mate or the three tiny lives he carried.

The moment Megatron and Starscream left the medical room, Knock Out turned on the bulky form of Breakdown, the mech entirely oblivious to the exchange that had gone on between the sports car and the other mechs. He hummed a little, strumming some invisible electric guitar as he played flesh creature heavy metal in his audio receptors.

"Breakdown!"

No answer.

"Breakdown, you deaf fragger!"

More humming and a tiny jump as the mech went into the heaviest part of the song, strumming like crazy.

"BREAKDOWN!"

Breakdown turned and beamed happily at his snippy partner, shutting off the music and picking Knock Out up.

"Hey, buddy! How'd it go with those two?" he asked, nearly crushing his bondmate in a hug.

"They know what we're doing!"

"So?"

"So?! SO?! They can hear us!"

"I can hear them. Starscream has "scream" in his name for a reason!" Breakdown chuckled, not at all disturbed by the lack of privacy.

"How can you not care?" Knock Out demanded.

"All I'm supposed to do is keep you from being too rash and getting yourself killed. I break 'em down and you knock 'em out." he said with a bright smile. "That's how it is. I couldn't care less about that pair hearing us. I'm made to fight."

"And hug?" Knock Out snickered, his anger washing away as his partner grinned that stupid grin of his.

"And hug." Breakdown agreed with a laugh, kissing Knock Out's forehead before he let him down. "Now we have to get ready for a trine of sparkling Seekers."
