Note: I suggest you read 'Be My Love' before this one.
Skyfire was…happy!
Beyond happy as he watched the fox teeter around his apartment, his own pet on the table watching him steadily wobble. Sparked Anibots were adorable and the big ears and fluffy tail just added to it.
Red Alert snorted as he crawled up into his birthing box, he felt bloated and angry…bloated because of the kits rolling around in their pouches…angry that Inferno thought it best if he gave life to his litter over here. Okay, more like it was Firestar, who finding out on how Anibots were created mostly encouraged by the animal part of their systems, thought it was 'ewww, that's so gross'. His kits were not gross, it was a beautiful but painful experience and the next time he saw her he was going to bite her!
He was sure the femme was over at the apartment now, curled up in his spot…deleting his recorded shows…messing up his home…the thoughts made him growl.
Starscream raised an optic ridge, he saw no reason for his little mate to be so angry…then again, he was practically kicked out of his home…but he was were he belonged and that was with him.
"He's getting more grouchy, must be close, last time he nearly took of Inferno's servo when he was nearly ready."
The feline nodded at his owner's words, that was true, the closer the date the meaner the Red, not even he could get too close…though the kitsune would suddenly have mood swings were he wanted to be loved on and he was all too willing to do that.
They both watched the small fox curl up, his own tail batting at his nose ridge as he fell into recharge, being sparked wore one out and carrying another five kits drained him considerably.
"He's upset over the whole fact that Inferaft kicked him out."
"Scree, what have I told you about calling him that?"
"Like I care, my poor mate is in distress!"
A light growl and they both peered over to see Red Alert glaring at them, "I can hear you."
The cat shrugged and bounded off the table over to where the smaller mech was laying down, he gave a gentle lick to one of the large ears, "I know, still doesn't change anything, besides my places is better."
"If I stayed here, you would have me knocked up nonstop and I don't plan on that…in fact I wasn't even planning on this litter or the last!"
Skyfire just chuckled to himself as the two bickered back and forth, more out of play then anything, just there way of dealing with things and at the end of it, Starscream will curl up in the box next to his mate and both of them will fall into recharge. Happily purring away at the closeness of the other.
And soon there will be kits again, that's what really made him happy and he hoped the firetruck never finds out that he helped the flying feline get into his apartment. It was all in the name of love!
It had nothing to do with the fact he liked playing with kits…

Red Alert rolled over onto his back, letting his servos and pedes dangle straight up in the air as though he was made out of wood, he felt like he was a log so might as well act like one.
A chuckle came from above him and he on-lined his optics to stare up at the face of his mate, he had become used to the cat looming over him…he had gotten used to a lot of things…he had to…this was going to be his home from now on.
His ex-owner thought it might be better for him…since the firetruck was now moving in with the femme…and she was 'allergic' to Anibots. Damn lie, he had seen her cuddle one of the other neighbors miniature dogs…it was funny when it tried to bite her though.
"Hmm, your looking like your about to burst."
"When I do, you'll know it, I'll be coming after you."
"You just want me to love you, don't you?"
Starscream bent over to rub his nosebridge with the fox's, getting a light laugh before he flipped back over…okay…it was more like topple over but still.
"Do you know how adorable that is," the feline just chuckled at the glare sent his way, "cute."
"Ugh, if you think it's so cute, you can have the kits next time, they feel like they're throwing a party in me!"
"Hmm, I like having you under me too much for that, besides you pull off the look so much better then me…maybe they're celebrating before they make their appearance?"
A snort and the fox just rolled his optics, his mate just decided to curl up to him and lick one of his ears in a show of comfort, he sighed and purred at the attention, "That does feel nice…"
"Hmm, I'm glad…oh, Perceptor sent a message saying him and his little friends will be over when the kits come."
A light thump of the kitsune's tail, "And the others?"
A light nuzzle to the back of his neck, "Either too far away or too busy…"
Red Alert sighed sadly, "I wish we could keep this litter…but in these apartments…it just wouldn't be enough space for all of us…"
The multicolored feline nodded and laid his helm ontop of the smaller mech, "I know…I know…"
-*~_~*-R-*~_~*-S-*~_~*-
"Will he be okay?"
Perceptor glanced over at his friend, the Shiba Inu youngling was holding tightly to the older Drift as he stared at the door that led inside the room where the once wild fox was, along with a Vet and Skyfire inside.
Starscream, perched up on a counter where he was able to get a good look at the door, snorted, "He'll be fine, the kits are just bigger this time around."
Didn't stop him from being concerned though…
Inferno leaned back against the wall, Firestar beside him, keeping a healthy distance from the Anibots…the feline made sure she did not come near his youngling and his friend. If she couldn't be near Red, she couldn't be near the younglings.
Bluestreak was about to squeeze off Wheeljack's arm from all the excitement, happily chatting away about the adorableness of sparklings, the engineer had ignored the random comments of him missing hints.
It had been a couple of joors since the kitsune had went into labor and they were all waiting on something to happen…their thoughts imagining the worse…
They all stiffen as the door opened and the Vet walked through, a near hop in his steps as he smiled at the group, his large rabbit ears having their own bounce to them, "Congratulations, five healthy fliers!"
A loud thump and they all stared at the sudden past out form of the new Creator on the floor, the Vet raised an optic ridge, "I guess the excitement finally got to him."
Wing burst out into laughter and pointed at the passed out form while the others shook their helms, the hybrid just sighed at his Creator's behavior and turned to the white rabbit, "Can we see them?"
A nod, "Just keep your voices low and only a few at a time, to much crowding and his likely to get 'territorial' and want to protect his sparklings."
They all nodded and the junior scientist took the first few steps into the small room where his new siblings where, he could feel the canine skipping behind him as he peeked in. Skyfire was picking up a large bowl and some towels, he smiled over at the two and motioned for them to come in, "Hey…where's Scree?"
"Taking a nap!"
"He fainted again, didn't he?," they all looked over to see the fox laying down with moving balls next to him and not looking too surprised at the puppy's answer, "he did that last time, he kept holding his breath until he passed out…"
He suddenly licked one of the moving balls, chuckling when it let out a squeak, "Tough guy, huh, you were probably the one kicking me," he glanced over at the two, watching as the shuttle left, "well, come say hi to your brothers."
Perceptor nodded but it was Wing who was the first over there, he giggled as the balls became more detailed, two cats and two foxes and, "Hey, Percy, lookie, this one is mixed like you!"
The hybrid peered over the fliers shoulder, sure enough a large silver kit was curled up next to his Carriers frame, cat ears and a fox tail, "He…is big…"
"He was the first one born and so far the most behaved, the others keep wanting to bite their brother's tails and ears."
"So when will they fly, it'll be fun to have somebot to fly with!"
Red Alert chuckled and turned his helm lightly as his mate burst into the door and bounded over to them, he looked back at the new litter, watching as one kit rolled over onto his back and yawn, "When their wings fully grow in," he looked at the young canine, "then you and Starscream can help them out."
They all laughed at how fast the Shiba Inu's tail wagged and how big his grin got, the feline Creator just shook his helm before nuzzling his mate's ears as he stared down at the new lives, "Gorgeous…I expected nothing less then them to be…especially since they came from us."
"Oh, shut up."
-*~_~*-R-*~_~*-S-*~_~*-
"Slingshot, let go of Air Raid's tail! Fireflight, get back here, I don't want you getting lost again! Where is Sky Dive?"
"I'll go get him, Carrier."
Red Alert looked down at the small silver kit that now reached his knees, they grow so fast, "Thank you, Silverbolt and if you see your Creator, tell him he's in trouble, he'll know why."
The kit wagged his tail and took off to chase down his brothers, leaving his Carrier smiling as he watched his litter playing in the air.
It was the perfect place for his family, Skyfire finally decided it was time to move and found a house for them all…oddly just down the road from Bluestreak and the now sparked Wheeljack, (guess Blue got tired of waiting to get sparked and did the job himself), Perceptor would often visit, sometimes bringing his friends.
Inferno would drop ever so often, leaving his now intended back at the apartment, apparently Starscream had taught his offspring to claw at the femme's legs and she had to stay behind or risk an expensive paintjob.
Not that the kitsune minded, he still like the firetruck…because of him he was able to finally find a home instead of wandering the woods and surviving day by day…no, this house at the end of the road where the woods where at the end of the property for the kits to pretend they are wild…where he can hear Skyfire inside the house, cursing as he set fire to another dish…where his mate was now pulling him to his chest from behind to nuzzle his neck…this was home…
Even with all the quirks and odds against him…he wouldn't have it any other way…
"So…want another litter…plenty of room now…"
"Actually, I think this is enough for me, this litter is aging me!"
A light laugh, "But Starscream, they are so cute!"
