Christopher Prime was in a frantic rush that morning. The twenty four year old member of NEST and substitute Autobot had little sleep the night before. He sighed, pulling on his boots and shifting in white shirt and camo pants. He grabbed his dogtags, and pulled them on, getting up from his and Monica's bed. He was late for a meeting again, Will or his Dad, or both, was going to kill him.
"Babe, I'm gonna leave any minute now." He commented to his wife, who was in the bathroom "Do you need anything before I go?" He was nervous, Monica had been in the bathroom for close to an hour now and hadn't come out. "Hun, are you ok?"

Monica had been in the bathroom for what seemed like ages. She had gotten up and immediately taken it over an hour before. Her reason? She was throwing up. She was becoming worried. She had never experienced this kind of sickness before and it was tiring her. This was definitely like morning sickness, which was caused by being pregnant. When she heard Chris, she knew she couldn't not tell him. "A pregnancy test would be nice..." she answered, meekly through the bathroom door.

"WHAT! " Chris's shout as he frantically searched for a test through Monica's purse could probably be heard throughout all of NEST. He grabbed one, finding it, and slid it under the door. "Pregnant? Pregant? Hun are you sure that's what this is all about." He said, his voice tripping over itself he was freaking out so much.

Bee was using his holoform to its full advantage, aka, using it to invade the human areas and homes of those he loved. Also known as the collective group of people he had guarded. He was actually trying to see if he could change it up a bit, though he then heard Chris's exclaimation.
Since it didn't sound freaked out, he just turned and jogged up. He knocked on the door to a musical tone, almost as if bored, except it was his way of saying it was him. In fact, he was tapping out the 'bumblebee' exercise, even humming it.

Optimus had grown irritated with Chris's tardiness. Turning to look at Lennox, he shook his head. "I'll see what's taking him. It'd better be important." Rising from the seat, he headed out of the room, soon transforming into his truck formation.
His destignation, Chris's place. Time until arrival, a minute. Reason for being there, Chris was late. Why he went, to get Chris and drag him to the meeting. Time was up, he had arrived.
Stopping the truck, an older man walked out of the vehicle, shutting the door behind him. Optimus then went up to the door, and nodded at Bumblebee, rapping his own "tune" on the door. "Christopher Jonathan Prime, get out here. You're late." Standing back, he waited impatiently for his son to answer the door. If not in the next minute or so, Chris wouldn't have a door. |

Chris was brought out of his shock at the knock on the door and Optimus's voice. Of course, Dad pulled the full name card. He often said 'Christopher' but rarely the full name. Well this was gonna be fun, he was young and his wife was likely pregnant. He sighed, and ran down the stairs. "Babe, I'll be right back!" He commented.
He sighed, trying to look calm as he reached the door and failing. He opened the door and looked at both Optimus and Bumblebee exhausted. "Guys, I have news that's either going to freak you out or the opposite." His smile widened, shock had stopped and he was settling into excited father-to-be mode "I think Monica's pregnant."

Bumblebee stared at Chris and made a concerned sound. He shifted, since he was playing with his holoform, and looked at Chris. For a few moments, after the whole news settled into and Bumblebee suddenly leaped at Chris, with every intention of hugging the life out of the boy, making garbled, excited, happy sounds, ready to wrap his arms around Chris in a hug.
If he didn't succed, well....that would just mean he would have to try again! Bumblebee was still making loud, happy, garbled, excited sounds and was bouncing happily. He was bouncing, actually and he beamed at his boss, before giving a little salute.

Optimus crossed his arms as Chris came to the door, and opened it. As the news left his mouth, Optimus was speechless. Mixed emotions flooded the leader. He was gonna be a grandfather. Something different for him. But not only that but disbelief, happiness, anger, sorrow, and other nameless emotions.
He watched as Bumblebee went and attempted to hug the father to be. Smiling slightly, he approached Chris, and placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked down at him. "So this is why you are late?" Pausing, Optimus pulled Chris into a hug after Bumblebee's holoform did so. "Congratulations Chris, but are you sure you're ready? Being a parent is a huge responsibility." |

"Uncle Bee-Can't-Breathe..." Chris jokingly choked slightly, then pretended to breathe out when he let go, though he returned Optimus's hug. "Yeah, she was in the bathroom longer then usual and I was worried." He explained to Optimus before answering his second question "I'm asking myself that question right now myself... I mean, she's been sick in the mornings for a few days now... But I didn't think..."He was still taken aback a bit, and he could tell Optimus was too.
Then again, he guessed, knowing the Autobot leader, he still remembered holding him as a newborn himself. "Sorry, do you guys want to come in? Monica's waiting for the test results I think." He commented "Then we can head back to base when we're done with the whole situation." He explained to Optimus.

Bee slowly released the boy and smiled brightly. No, he wasn't a boy anymore, he was an adult with a family. It almost made Bee whineing sound and he happily bounced in, almost as if he were much younger then he really was. He continued to bounce around and he began to make happy sounds, though they were harshly garbled. He picked up speed and sat calmly on the floor almost as if he hadn't done any of that at all.
He shifted and lay back suddenly, with a 'fwap' sound.

Monica was pacing anxiously as she waited for the results. She barely paid attention to the slight commotion going on outside of the bathroom. When the time was up, she looked at the test. What she saw was a big pink + sign. A mixed emotion-filled squeel errupted from her when she realized what that meant. She couldn't believe it, she was pregnant!

Chris heard the most unusual noise from upstairs, since when the hell did Monica... Oh god, that meant. He ran up the stairs forgetting Optimus or Bumblebee for a moment. He knocked on the door. "Monica, please tell me that's a 'I'm Pregnant' squeal?" He commented "Because Dad, Bee, and I can't take the suspense much longer."

Bee sat up when he heard the squeal and watched Chris run up the stairs with a raised eyebrow. He wondered, briefly, if he should follow before having his holoform run up after Chris. He would get to be a babysitter all over again! He ignored the fact he wouldn't be able to treat this baby exactly like he had treated Chris, example he couldn't sing the lullabyes anyore, but he was more then happy to run up after Chris, though he stopped far enough away so he didn't crush the possibly-soon-to-be daddy and a slightly garbled chuckled came from Bumblebee's holoform.

Optimus heard a shrill sound coming from the floor above. His holoform turned his face so he was looking up. That was where the source was coming from, and immedietally he placed it as Monica. After all, there wasn't anyone in the house except the four of them. Well, make that five. Monica had to be included. But there wasn't no one else in the hourse, so it was four. So much for being an advanced robot. He couldn't even count heads. Well, not Optimus, but me.
As the two of them rushed up the stairs, Optimus followed more slowly. There was nothing to worry about, and the leader knew that. After all, he was a father. But that didn't mean he went up casually. At a brisk walk, he was the last to arrive. "Monica, you need anything?" |

When Chris spoke, Monica realized for the first time that Bee and Optimus were there. She came out of the bathroom before she answered. "Yes it is, I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed, hugging Chris. She was extremely excited, to say the least. "I'm good, thanks." she replied to Optimus.
