"Whoa, that feels weird…" I mumbled as I returned to the rest of my mass, and began driving back to my ship, I saw that Mikaela and Supra were still sound asleep in the backseat.
Halfway home I started to feel…the best way to describe it is bloated,
'Oh no…it can't be, only those with a spark mate can have a sparkling.' I thought and then memories of Mikaela and I played from my memory circuits and the truth of the matter settled into my logic core.
Reaching out with a tentacle. I gently shook Mikaela awake, "What's wrong baby?" Mikaela's voice came out sleepy but also horny as she crawled up towards me from the backseat and began sliding her hands along my shoulders and down my chest her hands came to a stop at what used to be flat washboard abs.
"Guardian…why do you have a…baby bump?" Mikaela gasped but her voice sounded intrigued, not horrified or even worried.
"I killed a Decepticon and ripped out it's spark and ate it…then I started to feel bloated…hey Mikaela, for a Cybertronian to get pregnant they have to be deeply in love and connected to their partner…" At my words Mikaela pulls me into a hungry kiss.
"We're having a baby!" Mikaela expresses her excitement, but the second and third time her voice becomes muted and the weight of the realization started to settle in.
"Mikaela, sparklings aren't like human children…they are highly independent and reach adulthood in a handful of months." I tried to reassure her.
"Oh…" The disappointment in that one little expression was a physical thing.
"Hey, don't be sad…this will only make every moment with the little bot or femi, that much more meaningful and memorable."
…
A few days later Mikaela and I found ourselves in the medbay, "So…you never told me how you explained everything to Supra." I muttered as the drone arms began a process similar to a C-section.
"I just made out with her and told her we'd call her when you were feeling better…and good to go for a threesome." Mikaela murmured with a slight shrug of her armored shoulders.
'I can't tell who is holding the other's hand in a crushing grip…I'm glad I shut off my pain receptors though.' Hearing Mikaela's gasp as the sparkling is extracted, hearing the soft awe, brings a warmth to my spark, but a cold feeling washed over me as soon as I probed the connection between myself and the sparkling.
"Guardian, why isn't it crying or moving around even just a little bit?" The concern in Mikaela's voice is pointed and sharp.
'No, not even Megatron would cross this line…would he?' The unanswerable question makes my spark ache.
"Mikaela I need you to step out of the medbay for a moment." My voice carried a distinct crackle of emotion, Mikaela turned a fierce glare on me, but wilted under whatever she saw in my eyes.
"Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" Mikaela asked and everything in me wanted her to stay but I already had a suspicion of what a proper test would tell me and…as much as a shock as this whole thing has been I knew I'd need a few minutes alone if they are proven correct.
Mikaela didn't break eye contact with me until the doors closed separating the hallway and medical bay.
Cradling the malformed Sparkling over my spark chamber as I gently set it inside of a stasis pod to make use of the advanced scanners inside of it.
I watched the readout panel, having my suspicion confirmed my knee servos gave out and I fell to the floor.
"Megatron, how could you? To split a spark like this…into a thousand pieces to make drones with only a facsimile of life…" My Spark ached as the memories of the Bot who once was so gentle and loving…who wouldn't harm an energon leech, even if it was sucking the energon from his circulation system.
'How did you become this monster? Was it Quintessa, did she use her powers to alter your personality matrix or was this always a part of you that I blinded myself from seeing?' I wondered, yes I knew who Megatron was from the media I'd consumed in my past life but the memories I had in this one while they painted an entirely different picture of Megatron as a Bot.
Looking at the Sparkling feeling lost, my Spark chamber opened on its own, reaching into my Spark chamber I split a piece of myself off, the pain is immersurable and nearly all consuming but I remain steady enough to place the shard of my spark into the Sparklings exposed weakly flickering spark chamber.
There was an explosion of light before my optics went dark.
…
Mikaela heard a loud clang from inside of the Medbay and forced the doors open using the exo-armor made from Guardian's mass.
But as she stepped through the threshold she found herself not in the medbay but someplace alien, now she's gotten pretty used to everything being made of metal, but this place has crystal-like something or others threading through it like veins, veins which thrummed with a gentle blue glow that reminded me almost of blood vessels.
Mikaela's head slowly tilted backwards to see a colossal robot of epic proportions…then looked down and realized that she was standing in the palm of its hand.
"Don't be afraid, I will not harm you…after all you are my son and champion's soulmate."
"You're Guardian's dad?" Mikaela's voice trembled not from fear but anger. How could this, this…all powerful robotic-being leave her sweet boyfriend all alone to see over an entire planet or let his siblings die fighting his battles…or let him be stabbed in the back by his wife.
"Your soulmate has done something rather idiotic splitting a piece of his soul off like he did to try and save that twisted aberration of life…created by one of his adopted sons, that thing will never be a true Cybertronian even if it does survive. But I am willing to combine it and you together so my son doesn't ever have to experience the pain of watching you grow old and frail as all humans do."
Mikaela couldn't speak, how could she…she just found out her and Guardian's baby wasn't going to make it.
"As it seems you cannot speak, I will act for you both." Primus speaks and his massive eyes glow, then Mikaeala wakes up encased in a chamber of glass.
