chapter 1 Great news

Bumblebee and Ironhide had just bought a home. They were putting the their stuff in place. It was a lovely house on Cybertron. They were almost done unpacking and putting everything up. "Ironhide, soon we better start looking for jobs." Bumblebee said. Ironhide agreed with her.

"Yes Bumblebee I know. I want job where we can spend sometime together." Ironhide told her.

"Yes that's true but there are other things we must discuss." She said.

"Like what?" He asked.

"You know, insurance, tech plans, picking out things for our health and..." She said.

"And what?" He asked.

"Starting a family." She said. Ironhide knew that was important. But they needed to talk about it. When it would be a good time to have a sparkling. After they finished unpacking and putting everything up they began to talk.

"You know I think in a couple of years it would be a good idea to have a sparkling. We still have to get jobs and get settled." Ironhide said.

"You're right we'll try waiting." She said.

Days passed. Bumblebee was at home cooking dinner. Ironhide came in. He saw her he came up behind her and covered her optics. "Guess who?" He said in singsong.

"Ironhide," She said removing his hands. Ironhide came up to her and started kissing her. "Sweetie, what are you doing?" She asked.

"Can't man make love to his wife?" He asked.

"Oh honey I have to cook dinner." She said. Pulling out the tech-meatloaf.

"Tech-meatloaf my favorite." He said.

"I know," She said. She set it down on the table. Ironhide put his arms around her from behind. "You're in quite a good mood." She told him.

"Sure am because I got the job!" Ironhide said.

"That's great Hidesie." She said kissing him.

"I know I've been thinking." He said.

"Really about what?" She asked.

"I was thinking maybe it's time we heard the pitter patter of little feet." Ironhide said. Bumblebee looked unsure. "What's wrong?' Ironhide asked.

"Sweetie I know you want a sparkling I do too but if we do decide to have a sparkling now we will have lot more on our plate." Bumblebee said.

"So you don't want to have kid?" Ironhide asked.

"It's not that." Bumblebee said.

"Then what's wrong?" Ironhide asked.

"I'm just worried that we won't be good parents." She replied honestly.

"Don't worry everything will be alright." Ironhide said. "Do you trust me?' He asked

"Yes," She said.

After eating Ironhide closed the blinds. Bumblebee turned down the lights. Ironhide and Bumblebee got comfortable in their bed. They made love. Soon they fell asleep.

A week later. Ironhide was enjoying his new job. But this morning Bumblebee woke up she felt sick. She ran to the bathroom and began to throw up. Ironhide heard what was going and came to the bathroom. He saw Bumblebee throwing up. "Honey," He said. He began to rub her back. "I thinking I should call work and tell them you're sick so I can stay home and take care of you." Ironhide said.

Bumblebee shook her head. "Go to work honey I'll be okay." She said. She had just finished throwing up. Ironhide took her temperature.

"No fever." He said. Ironhide reluctantly went to work and was worrying about Bumblebee the whole time.

For the past 2 weeks Bumblebee has been waking up feeling sick. She has also been extremely moody. Ironhide was very worried. Bumblebee was going to see the doctor the next day.

The next day. Bumblebee and Ironhide were at the doctor's office. Ratchet was working there he was about to give Bumblebee her checkup. "So Bumblebee what's wrong?" Ratchet asked her.

"I haven't been feeling like myself." She said.

"Would you tell me your symptoms." Ratchet said.

"Nausea especially in the morning, I feel tired, and been very moody." Bumblebee said.

Ratchet began to think Bumblebee was healthy in every way. He decided to draw some fluids. "I will call you when I get the results." Ratchet said.

Bumblebee and Ironhide were at home. Bumblebee was making lunch. She was making fried tech-chicken. It was ready. After lunch they waited for Ratchet to call.

The next day while Ironhide was at work Ratchet called. He told Bumblebee the news. She was pregnant! "Thanks Ratchet I can't wait to tell Ironhide he's going to be thrilled! Good-bye." She said. Bumblebee made dinner. She wrote on piece of paper. Ironhide came home.

"What a rough day." He said.

"Hard day at work Hidesie?" She asked him.

"Yes, one of other employees keeps bossing me around just because he had been hired before me." Ironhide said.

"Sorry Sweetie. Ready for dinner?" She asked.

"Yeah sure." He said.

Ironhide saw the paper. "What's with this piece of paper?" He asked.

"Open it and read it." She said.

Ironhide opened it. "Hidesie we are going to have a sparkling!" He said. "You mean you're?!" He said. Bumblebee nodded. "I'm going to be a father!" He said.
