The Specialist and I: Book 2

Chapter 18

I sat on my bed and cried, Esther holding me close and trying to comfort me. I heard the door open as someone came inside. I had a feeling it was Ironhide as he was the only other person with a key to the house aside from myself. So, to keep his surprise hidden for now, I adjusted my position so my legs were hiding my stomach.

"It's alright, Lori. Carrier is lecturing Optimus as we speak. He'll call to apologize soon.", Esther assured me.

"But what if he doesn't? What if I'm right and he hates me?", I ask, "Using me?"

"Then I'll knock his aft into next year.", Ironhide's voice filled my ears causing me to look at the door frame, "And so will your creators. And his adoptive creators. I overheard what you told Esther in the training room the other day. If you want, we can stay here for a few days. I won't leave your side no matter what."

"I can't ask you to do that, Ironhide. You have a duty as a weapons specialist.", I told him.

"But my wife comes first.", Ironhide told me, "You will always come first. If we were both injured in a fight, I wouldn't let Ratchet near me until you were alright. I mean it, Lori. Now, everyone at the base wouldn't shut up about some surprise you have for me. What is it?"

With my brother forgotten about for now, I smile and take his hand.

"There's actually two.", I said and guided his hand to my stomach where our child was growing, "This is one."

Ironhide's eyes went wide as did Esther and Ranger's. Spades just looked confused.

"You're sparked.", Ironhide finally said and I nodded.

"I told Ratchet to wait until I told you to tell me the gender.", I told him.

Ironhide was completely star-struck and looked as if he were going to faint. Suddenly, Esther grinned and started congratulating Ironhide and I. Ranger just looked proud of his son as he congratulated him and explained to Spades what was going on. When Ranger was finished explaining, Spades was suddenly really excited.

"Show him the other surprise.", Esther said, "Ironhide, you're going to love this."

I headed downstairs with my in-laws and husband not too far behind. Esther was dragging Ironhide down the stairs and to the front yard while I went into the garage.

"What's this about?", I heard Ironhide ask after he and the others transformed.

"Close your optics!", Esther said, "Okay, Lori! We're ready!"

I got inside the GMC Canyon as I opened the garage. I backed up and once I was clear of the garage, I transformed.

"Who's transforming?", Ironhide asked, his optics were covered by Esther's servo, "No one better be painting my cannons again!"

I nodded to Esther, signaling that I was ready and she told everyone to open their optics. When Ironhide looked at me, his optics seemed to widen twice their usual size.

"What do you think?", I asked, "Ratchet helped me create the armor and did the surgery to turn me Cybertronian."

"Lori?", Ironhide asked slowly, I nodded, "You-you're-"

"What's wrong, Hide? Cybercat got your glossa?", Esther teased and snickered.

"I think he likes you.", Ranger grinned, "I've never seen him so star-struck."

I took in his body language and couldn't help my growing smirk, "Apparently."

"Come on, Hide! Not while the rest of us are here!", Esther said and made a disgusted face.

"Let's go back to base. I think there's something Ironhide wants to do.", I smirked.

We all transformed and headed back to the base. Ironhide and I went straight to our berthroom. Once the door was closed, he pinned me to the wall and kissed me. He picked me up and laid me down on the berth gently. I kissed him while his servos ran across my chest plate.

"Can we?", Ironhide asked and I nodded.

"Ironhide, we've both been waiting for this since we got married.", I said.

He nodded and kissed me as our chest plates opened to reveal our sparks. Our sparks seemed to collide violently as they bonded as if they had waited for centuries to meet. Suddenly, I felt whole and could feel every emotion Ironhide held within his spark as I'm sure he felt mine. We were finally linked until death takes us apart. The more our sparks interacted, the stronger the bond felt. The emotions suddenly got stronger and stronger until our sparks finally returned to their casings. 

I felt a strong wave of love from Ironhide as he laid down and pulled me close. I smiled and we both let the exhaustion take over and allowed our bodies to rest.
