Hi

Can we please get part two of hot rod pushing out his sparkling alone and waking up to drift and ratchet coming inside

Those two love struck idiots don’t miss a beat scolding hot rod while kissing him and gently hugging him. Definitely crying when they do this.

Turns out only one sparkling was ready to be born which is why he was struggling to get them out. The other is still in his tanks growing and will need a lot longer before they can emerge.

Both sparklings have all three of their cna and ratchet and drift don’t let hot rod out of their sight

Deadlock and Ratchet pushed their way inside and immediately began scolding him. He shifted in discomfort pulling his sparkling closer. He knew he was too weak to fight them but he would do anything to protect his bitty.

Ratchet noticing huffed and stopped chewing him out instead looking annoyed.

"Calm down we're not going to hurt you or your sparkling. You've already done enough damage to yourself. I can't believe you would even think about cutting yourself open to retrieve your sparkling."

He shrugged looking down at his sparkling. Who looked adorable and he smiled slightly already loving them more than he thought possible.

"At least I got him out."

"You got one of the twins out."

His energon froze and he stared at Ratchet in horror.

"What?"

He began to sob which woke his sparkling up. Causing him to cry as well.

"Are they...?"

"Alive. They weren't ready yet and will need more time. Especially after the stupid stunt you pulled."

His sparkling continued crying and Deadlock reached for it. He weakly growled at him and took care of his sparkling instead.

"Shh it's okay. You're safe."

He soothed, nuzzling his sparkling. Ignoring the way his hands shook after Ratchets news made him think he'd lost one of his sparklings.

He could feel Deadlock and Ratchet staring at him and he knew they had a lot to say.

"Before you even try and deny it, it's obvious the sparkling is ours."

Ratchet crossed his arms and Deadlock put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Realizing Hot Rod was not well and likely suffering from post emergence depression.

"We want to know why you left. It's dangerous out there."

He ignored them. Continuing to pay attention to his sparkling. Who had all three of their features. Not that he cared. They were his.

"I don't know why you came after me but you can leave and if you think you're taking my sparkling I'll kill you both."

He glared and Ratchet tried to get him to calm down.

"We're not going to take your sparkling from you. I know your hormones are all over the place but we aren't a threat."

Deadlock nodded having stayed mostly silent until now.

"It's going to be okay. We found you just in time and we're going to take care of you."

"What? Why would you do that?"

He gave them both a confused look. Because he didn't mean anything to them. He was simply stress relief to them.

"Because we love you."

He gave him a shocked look and shook his head.

"That's not true. This has to be some kind of trap. You're lying."

"We're not. I promise."

"Why would you want me?"

"Because you're special to us. We love hanging out with you and we want to be with you."

Ratchet took his hand giving him a worried look as he checked the monitors.

"Get some rest okay. We'll be here the entire time watching over you."

He watched them walk away and felt tears fall as he suddenly didn't want to be alone. He called for them desperately and they immediately answered. Both rushed to his side and soothed him as he cried.

He begged them to stay with him and they both agreed. Climbing into bed they cuddled against him and rubbed his aching spoiler and body.

"You're safe Hot Rod. Just let us take care of you."

He nodded quickly falling asleep pressed against them. With his sparkling in his arms sleeping peacefully.

The two stayed by his side promising not to let him go. They weren't going to let him out of his sight both of them worried about him taking off again and getting hurt.

Thank you for the ratchlockrod food

Is it okay we have part two where roddy steadily grows their sparkling on a further planet.

Deadlock and ratchet took him to a much much healthier and safer planet where he can relax, ratchet can open a new clinic and deadlock either goes off on small missions as security or stays with Hot rod while they enjoy watching hot rod waddle around or recharge.

They even have the fun idea to put fuel at his lips and watch him eat as he sleeps. He is so annoyed when he wakes up but he admits its funny.

"Is this really necessary? I liked my old home."

"Yes."

Both Deadlock and Ratchet pulled him inside.

"It's farther from the war and look at all the space we have."

He looked around because it was true they did have a lot of space and a big backyard from what he's seen.

"Come on let's show you the best part."

Deadlock grabbed one arm and Ratchet pulled the other. They gently took him to a room that already had a crib inside and he gasped.

"This will be our nursery."

He found himself crying as his hand brushed against the crib because this was real. He was having a sparkling with Deadlock and Ratchet.

"It's not done yet but we'll have plenty of time to work on it together while Ratchets at work.

Deadlock pulled him into a hug and he gave Ratchet a curious look.

"There's a clinic nearby that could use some help. I'll be working there and Deadlock will start doing security and small bounty hunting missions after our little one is born."

He nodded feeling Ratchet come over and hug them as well.

"Come on let's show you the rest of it."

They walked around taking in their new house and he smiled. Rubbing his belly he could already imagine his little one growing up here.

Looking over he noticed them both staring at him and he gives them a confused smile.

"What?"

"Nothing just admiring your beauty."

He blushed feeling slightly embarrassed. Deadlocks engine rumbled as he came closer.

They both grabbed him and pulled him into the bedroom where they spent the day making love. Later when he was asleep exhausted from their activities. Ratchet came in with a glass of energon.

"What's that for?"

"When he wakes up. I'm sure he'll be hungry."

Deadlock took the glass and he gave him a confused look. As he wrapped his arms around Hot Rod and placed him on his chest.

"Don't wake him. He needs his sleep."

"I won't."

He gently put the glass to his lips and they both watched as he started drinking.

"No need to wake him up."

He smirked until he noticed Ratchet was watching Hot Rod.

"Deadlock."

He looked down to see Hot Rod waking up. He shifted causing some of the energon to spill on him.

They watched as he frowned and then opened his optics looking confused.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing. We just thought you might be hungry."

"What?"

Hot Rod stared at the energon for a long time and then looked annoyed.

"Let me sleep."

He turned over ignoring them both even though he was still partially laying on Deadlock. They both laughed and set the cube down for later.

Hot Rod continued sleeping and they cuddled against him on either side. Their hands pressed against his belly bump which was getting bigger every day.

Later Hot Rod was sitting at the table when he suddenly burst out laughing. They both gave him a confused look until he explained that he realized they'd been feeding him while he was sleeping.

"You can be a pretty heavy sleeper sometimes."

"That's because you two did such a good job fragging me."

"We can do it again if you want?"

Deadlocks hand trailed up his thigh.

"Maybe later right now I'm hungry."

Ratchet came over with some treats and the two began feeding Hot Rod ignoring his protests.

"Let us do this."

"We want to take care of you."

Hot Rod relaxed and let them feed him and take care of him. Glad they had gone after him when he ran away. He didn't know how he managed everything without the sires around.

He's just glad he doesn't have to do that anymore and can be taken care of while he grows their sparkling inside of him.

Hi i hope you aren’t tired of Dratchrod asks if you do please let me know

Dratchrod where drift and ratchet find a picture of Rodimus holding a sparkling standing next to a mech wearing ceremonial conjunx robes. They are in complete shock because the sparkling looks just like both of them and they never know Roddy was conjunxed before or ever sparked.

They see another photo of Rodimus and the sparkling and the mech and he’s heavily sparked.

They all look so happy and they are just so surprised because roddy always says he doesn’t want sparklings or to be conjunxed.

They see a holovid next that shows Rodimus waddling towards the mech that holds their crying sparkling and they see him open his chassis to fuel their sparkling before sitting with the mechs help and continue his painting. A painting created by a famous unknown mech from before the war.

That mech was roddy.

Roddy had a whole life he never told anyone about and they are so crushed because they see how in love the two are and how happy they are wonder what happened.

Its when they see two sparkling deceased papers that they understand.

Roddy joined the war because it took his bitties from him and the mech in the photos and holovids that loved him dearly and still loves him dearly is Megatron.

Megatron went crazy from the loss of their sparklings and suddenly the two being able to comfort each other and know everything about the other but choosing not to be close or alone makes so much sense.

Roddy was respecting them by staying away but Megatron still wants and loves Roddy he just respects Roddy’s wishes.

Making themselves at home they waited for Rodimus shift to end. Drift was looking around and Ratchet was trying to stop him from snooping.

"Leave him alone the kid deserves privacy."

"But Ratty. There's got to be something here that will explain why Rodimus is so hesitant to bond with us."

Ratchet shrugged.

"It's none of our business."

Drift sighed looking guilty as he turned away from the shelf he'd been looking at. When he accidentally knocked something off the shelf.

"Drift!"

Ratchet hissed and went to pick it up when he froze.

"What?"

Drift looked down and gasped because inside there was a picture of Rodimus when he was still Hot Rod. He had the biggest happiest smile they'd ever seen. He was wearing traditional Nyonian Conjunx robes. With an adorable little sparkling on his hip.

Looking closely they were shocked to see the sparkling looked just like Rodimus and Megatron. Who was standing next to him with an arm wrapped around his waist as he wore traditional Kaonian Conjunx robes.

The two of them were smiling and seemed to be having a good time. Drift picked it up and was unable to stop himself from flipping to the next page.

This time they see Hot Rod sitting in a nursery looking like he was trying not to laugh. He had a hand on his sparked belly and his sparkling was standing in his crib, pointing at his sire. Who is trying to build something.

"I didn't know Rodimus had sparklings."

He frowned, because he thought Roddy told him everything. Only to find out he had an entire secret life he had no idea about.

"Neither did I. My records don't show him giving emergence. He must have done that in secret."

Ratchet looked shocked and also annoyed that he didn't have that kind of important medical history.

He flipped to another page of Megatron holding their crying sparkling who was reaching out for Roddy. They could see his chest open and they both blushed.

"I thought he never wanted sparklings and every time we ask if he'll bond with us he refuses. Yet here he is with a sparkling on his chest and another one on the way. While he snuggles against his Conjunx. It's like I don't even know him anymore"

He gave the book a frustrated look and Ratchet put a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sure Rodimus has his reasons."

He flipped through another page and Ratchet seemed surprised as he pointed at a famous art piece, that had been found in some ruins near Kaon.

"I know that painting."

They stared at the photo where Roddy was painting. His sparkling was drinking from his pouches and Megatron was looking at his work after he'd obviously helped him sit down. With how big his belly had gotten.

They looked so peaceful and happy. He wondered what happened. Flipping through a few more pages they both gasped.

On the page was a death certificate for two sparklings. Even though they weren't his he felt a tear fall. He couldn't imagine the grief Rodimus must have felt and it explained a lot about his reluctance to get close with everyone. Always trying to keep himself at a distance.

It also explained the weird relationship he had with Megatron.

"Look."

Ratchet pointed at the date and he looked surprised, although it made sense. After his sparklings passing Megatron became angry. He wanted to tear Cybertron apart and had gone mad with power.

"Rodimus joined shortly after. I remember doing his medical, exam but I don't remember any signs of him being sparked. But I could have missed it with his condition."

Ratchet looked the death certificates over sadly. They've all lost things in the war some more than others and Roddy has lost a lot.

Looking over the pictures he realizes they needed to do right by Rodimus. Wven if that means they are no longer together.

Looking at the photos. Things they didn't even think about were now analyzed after the information they learned.

Rodimus never wanting to be alone with Megatron. The two having a weird connection like they knew each other in a deep and intimate way. Which helped them work together as a team.

It was obvious from there interactions that Megatron still loved him. He didn't think he'd ever stop loving him. Even if he had to do that from a distance. He couldn't imagine how he must have felt watching them court Roddy.

Looking at Drift he could see understanding wash over him. Although it was sad they both knew what they had to do.

When Rodimus got home they were honest. At first he was upset and yelled at them which they deserved and then he broke down. They comforted him and there were a lot of tears. They told him they'd always love him. But they knew he loved Megatron in a way he could never love them and they wanted him to be happy.

Rodimus had been a mess by the end of it but he'd gone to speak with Megatron. The two of them went back to their room knowing everything was going to work out for those two.

Send me some asks please.

Dratchrod au where Roddy feels off for a while but doesn’t think much of it since he has a spark condition.

Its when he accidentally falls asleep in the bath being woken up by Drift and Ratchet does he notice his tanks are pretty puffed out

He woke up with a start and quietly untangled himself from the mess of arms and legs keeping him in bed.

He gagged. Clapping a hand over his mouth as he ran into the fresher and threw up.

He tried to be as quiet as possible not wanting to wake either of them because they deserve their rest and he couldn't be selfish.

When he finally felt better. He snuggled back into bed feeling exhausted. He'd been feeling this way for a while but just assumed it was because of his spark issues. Which was always causing him problems and making his life miserable.

He slept through most of the morning. Long after Drift and Ratchet had left. Luckily he didn't have work that day otherwise he would have been late.

He yawned,.still feeling exhausted even though he slept more than usual. He was always exhausted nowadays although he again assumed it was his spark issues.

He accidentally touched his chest and winced because it felt tender and uncomfortable.

He knew something was wrong with his spark and found himself frustrated that his medication wasn't working. He hated the way his spark issues controlled his life and always made him sick. He thought his medicine was helping and now all of a sudden it wasn't.

He thought about seeing a medic. But he knew Ratchet would find out and be upset he didn't go to him. He didn't want to bother Ratchet though. Who had too much going on trying to open a new clinic and didn't have time for him and his issues.

He tried his best to hide it. Not wanting to worry either of them with his spark condition. Sometimes he felt like he was holding them back because of it. The two of them always worrying about him.

Knowing how many times they've had to deal with it in the past and how exhausting it can be. He was worried they'd get tired of him and eventually leave him. Not that he'd blame them. He knew how exhausting he could be just by himself. Always acting all needy. Combine that with his spark problems and he was unbearable.

Which is why he needed to push through and act like nothing was wrong. Otherwise they were going to leave him.

Later when Drift touched his chest. He had to hide his wince of discomfort because it was sensitive. When the three of them snuggled up in bed he took one side instead of the middle and kicked off his blankets claiming he was hot.

In the morning he forced himself to get up because he had work that needed to be done and if he missed it Ratchet and Drift would get suspicious.

He yawned. So tired that he found himself almost falling asleep multiple times at work. Eventually he gave up and decided to go home early.

By the time he got home his whole body ached and he just wanted to sleep, but he was also uncomfortable and in pain.

He decided to take a bath. Hoping that would help him with the achy feeling that won't go away.

He climbed inside and relaxed against the side of the tub. He closed his optics and ended up falling asleep.

He was awoken by Ratchet and Drift who were both giving him a worried look.

"What?"

"We need to talk."

"We're worried about you."

"Why?"

He gave them a confused look still half asleep and not thinking straight.

"You've been acting weird recently. You're always tired and it seems like you've gained weight."

Drift glanced down at his belly and he frowned. Looking down he blushed when he noticed his belly seemed to be sticking out more.

"Has your spark been bothering you?"

He shrugged.

"It's fine."

Ratchet sighed and Drift gave him a dissapointed look, which stung.

"Help me get him out of the tub and then I can look him over."

Drift nodded and despite his complaints that he could get out himself they both helped him get out.

Drift pulled him into a hug so he couldn't escape and Ratchet scanned him.

He kept trying to tell them he was fine when Ratchet gasped.

"What is it?"

Drift gave him a worried look.

"You're sparked."

"What?"

He looked at him in surprise.

"That can't be we've always been careful."

"You're sparked. My scanner isn't wrong and it would explain your strange behavior recently."

He looked at them in shock and began to cry. Thinking they wouldn't want him anymore. Only to be surprised when they both hugged him. Promising him that they loved him and that they wanted to have a family with them. Which only made him cry more,.as he was overwhelmed with emotion.

All three of them moved to their bed where they cuddled together and held each other. While Rodimus fell asleep feeling exhausted.

I just had minor surgery so I'm a little high right now. Sorry if anything I post is weird. Anyway keep sending in asks. I appreciate them and I love reading the really long ones.

Drift and Ratchet finding Hot Rod cute and wanting to court him but someone stops them, warning them that his carrier, Perceptor, is a scary mech who won't let anyone court his creation. The two try anyway because they genuinely love Hot Rod and want to be with him.

The three of them were having a fun time flirting and dancing with Hot Rod, after inviting him out for drinks. Only for it to be interrupted when Hot Rod got a comm pulling him away.

The two watched him go with a sigh. Although they hated seeing him go. They loved to watch him leave.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"What?"

They both gave the femm a confused look.

"Flirting with Hot Rod will only end in tragedy... For you."

"Why's that?"

Ratchet crossed his arms giving her an unimpressed look.

"His carrier Perceptor can be... Possessive. He won't let anyone court his sparkling because he doesn't think anyone is worthy."

"We'll show him."

Drift gave her a determined look, knowing they'd be amazing mates to Hot Rod.

The femm sighed.

"I tried to warn you. Many have tried and many have payed the price."

Neither of them listened already coming up with a plan to court him. They started by leaving him little gifts. Which always ended up in the trash right outside the medbay or the gym where Drift frequently trained.

The two of them looked concerned wondering if Hot Rod was rejecting them. When they tried subtly asking him about it. He seemed confused because he'd never gotten anything.

Looking at each other they realized it must have been his carriers idea. If he thought they'd back off that easy, he had another thing coming.

They began inviting him out. Wanting to hangout together and go on dates.

Only for Hot Rods carrier to call him while they were out, or right before their date. Claiming he needed Hot Rod and that it was an emergency.

Hot Rod of course always went. Worried that his carrier needed help.

They weren't officially dating or anything so they couldn't complain. Even if his carrier ruined their dates.

The two of them wouldn't give up though. Perceptor wasn't going to win and they took this as a challenge. They found ways to surprise him and keep Perceptor distracted, much to his annoyance.

The scientist finally had enough doing things in the background and decided to be upfront. Telling them that he didn't like them and didn't want them around his sparkling.

When they refused to back off. Perceptor threatened to kill them if they hurt his sparkling and that if they didn't stop, he'd make their lives miserable.

They didn't believe him determined to have Hot Rod for themselves. They though if Perceptor realized how serious they were, he'd back off. Realizing they wanted to have a relationship with Hot Rod and weren't just trying to sleep with him. Besides what was the worst he could do.

Perceptor saw it as defiance against his authority and hated them even more. He knew they would hurt his bitty if he didn't stop him. They loved each other and were only using Hot Rod. He knew that once they had him they'd be bored of him and that their pathetic attempts to get his attention were laughable.

Drift and Ratchet started noticing things going missing, energon dispensaries we're tampered with. Whenever they put in their code a disgusting concoction would come out. Sometimes there code would stop working causing them to be trapped in a room until someone found them.

When Drift went to train the equipment he usually used either wasn't there of moved.

Although Ratchets stuff in the medbay was never moved. Things would be shifted slightly just enough to bother him as he tried putting it back.

They also noticed that stuff in their room would be lost and then found in a random spot. Things would be moved around and messed with.

When Drift came home one day and noticed his crystals were in the wrong places, causing them to give off a harsh vibe. He couldn't rest until they were put back in order.

Then there were the random annoying noises and the weird smells that would keep them up all night.

Both of them were being driven crazy and finally they broke.

First they told Optimus who couldn't do anything, because they had no proof it was Perceptor. Although he did tell them. That all of it would stop if they left Hot Rod alone which made them suspicious.

They lasted a few more days until something happened. It wasn't enough to hurt them, but it was enough to show what could happen if they didn't stop.

Frustrated. Both of them went to Perceptor demanding he stop.

The scientist pretended to be innocent as though he wasn't driving them crazy.

"Maybe this would all go away if you left my bitty alone."

"Hot Rod is an adult he can be with whoever he wants."

Ratchet grouched looking annoyed.

"He doesn't know what he wants. Which is why it's my job to keep people like you away from him."

"We love him."

Drift defended and Perceptor glared.

"You're only trying to use him now back off from my sparkling or next time it will be worse."

He glared. Grabbing his gun and they both backed away quickly escaping.

When they were far enough away they turned to each other and realized they couldn't keep doing this. As much as it pained them Perceptor won at least for now.

Dratchetrod Mer AU. Mer!Drift and Ratchet are trying to woo Human!Roddy. They do things give him pretty stones they find, follow his boat when he goes out fishing, and even scaring off other potential suitors be it other mers or humans.

He walked onto the deck where Ratchet and Drift were waiting for him.

"What took you so long?"

"Breakfast."

He held up a granola bar and Ratchet made a face.

"That's not healthy or enough food."

"I'm fine."

He climbed into his boat and pulled up the anchor. Before making sure his ship was ready to set sail.

Drift lifted himself partially onto the boat holding out some rocks he found pretty.

"For you."

"Thank you these are very nice."

Drift preened and he put them in his collection. Which was started after Drift kept giving him rocks and he didn't have the heart to get rid of them. Especially because Drift always seemed so proud of himself.

He pulled the boat away from the docks and the two mers followed after. Pointing out any good fishing spots which he appreciated.

Stopping his boat he grabbed his rod and climbed onto the edge, feeling his feet touch the water. Ratchet gave him a look. Worried he'd fall before diving under water. When nothing happened and he was fine.

He quietly sang while enjoying the nice day. Drift swam around nearby occasionally joining Ratchet under lwater.

He wondered what it was like to swim together underwater. Without having to worry about holding your breath.

"Here."

Ratchet gave him some fish giving him an expectant look.

"Eat."

"I'm fine."

"You didn't have a proper breakfast so you should eat this."

"It's raw."

Ratchet stared at the fish for a long time and sighed. Drift put a hand on his shoulder and tried to distract his mate. He felt a little bad but he also didn't want to get sick again after eating raw fish.

Hearing a boat approach Drift and Ratchet dived under water before they were seen.

He looked over to see Thunderclash waving at him as his boat approached.

He forced himself to wave back hoping he'd leave him alone.

Even though everyone liked Thunderclash there was something about him that always rubbed him the wrong way.

His friends always assumed it was jealousy because he had a bigger boat, was more popular, and seemed to have a better life overall compared to him.

Maybe that was true. But there was always something about Thunderclash friendliest towards him that always rubbed him the wrong way.

"How are you doing today?"

"I'm fine."

"It's nice out today."

He nodded wishing this would end and that he could get back to fishing.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me to Swerves this Friday and get dinner?"

He frantically tried to think of an excuse wishing he hadn't asked him. Because he was so well liked. It was extremely difficult saying no to him. Unless he wanted to deal with his angry fan club because he dared to hurt his feelings.

Before he could respond Thunderclash boat violently rocked to the side

"Woah."

He grabbed onto something before he could fall into the water.

"Sorry I think something is wrong with my boat."

Thunderclash stumbled over to see what was wrong while the boat rocked violently. Looking into the water he saw a familiar fin.

The boat kept rocking and Thunderclash came out looking confused.

"I don't know what's happening."

Ratchet popped out of the water unseen by Thunderclash and used his tail to splash water on him. Thunderclash sputtered in surprise as the boat rocked violently causing him to fall.

He winced and then heard a loud noise. His eyes widened when he noticed the ship was sinking. He thought they were only messing around. He didn't realize they were going to do damage property.

"Help!"

Thunderclash turned to him as his boat began to sink and he helped him on board.

Thunderclash wrapped his arms around him for longer than necessary, when he climbed aboard and he could see Drift and Ratchet watching. Both of them glaring for some reason.

Pulling away he took the ship back to land. The entire time he stayed close while thanking him for saving him.

"I owe you a drink. Do you want to get one later?"

"I can't I'm busy."

He lied docking the ship and hoping Thunderclash will leave.

"How about on Friday? Will you go with me to Swerves?"

"I can't. I'm really busy right now."

Thunderclash nodded.

"That's alright. I'll find a way for us to hang out together. Maybe we can go fishing together."

His hands touched his hips and he leaned back feeling uncomfortable. His boat jerked slightly and Thunderclash pulled away.

"There must be a storm coming or something. Maybe we should get out of the water until the waves calm down."

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure? What if your boat goes down? I'll never forgive myself if something happens to you, when I could have stopped it."

"I'm fine."

He found himself getting annoyed.

The boat violently rocked again and he found himself getting annoyed at Drift and Ratchet. Because now Thunderclash refused to leave until he went with him because it was too dangerous.

Having no choice he sighed and agreed to get a drink with him. Thunderclash beamed and the two left his ship.

Looking behind him he could see Ratchet and Drift watching. Both of them clearly displeased but they had no one to blame but themselves.

If they had just left him alone. He wouldn't be hanging out with him right now instead of them.

Rodimus heavily sparked with twin bitties helping his grandsire Kup who didn’t know Rodimus was frequently sleeping with the couple.

He didn’t want anything serious because he was insecure and thought he was too much.

Kup invited them over to help with the heavy lifting because Roddy couldn’t do it and they see why he hasn’t been by in a while

He discreetly watched Hot Rod making sure he was okay. When he'd asked him to help move some boxes, he wasn't aware that he was sparked. So imagine his surprise when his grandsparkling showed up with a hand on his very large belly.

He'd tried asking discreet questions wanting to know more. It was odd that Hot Rod hadn't told him. Because he should have been one of the first people to know and it made him suspicious. When he asked if Perceptor knew Hot Rod was quick to change the subject. Which confirmed his suspicions that Perceptor didn't know.

He had a lot of questions and the biggest one was who the sire was. When he tried asking about it he seemed to be avoiding answering his questions.

He didn't know if it was because Hot Rod was worried that he'd hunt the sire down or what.

From the looks of it though something wasn't right and it worried him. He didn't know who the sire was, but if they hurt his grandsparkling he will kill them.

He didn't want Hot Rod moving heavy boxes in his condition so he was distracting him through other means. Right now they were working in the kitchen. He made Hot Rod sit down while they worked. Discreetly checking him over at the same time, making sure he didn't have any injuries.

Hot Rod went to grab something and almost tripped over the boxes in his living room. He rushed to his side looking worried.

"Are you okay? Do I need to take you to the medbay?"

Hot Rod shook his head reassuring him that he was fine. He wanted to push but he knew that would only push him away. Knowing Hot Rod wasn't going to be honest if he was hurt. He decided to call Ratchet to look his grandsparkling over in case he was injured. He also asked him to bring Drift wanting the heavy boxes taken care of so he didn't trip again.

He knew Drift was Hot Rods Amica and if anyone would know what was going on it would be him. Hopefully he could tell him more about this sire.

He'd just put some energon treats into the oven when he heard a knock on the door. Hot Rod gave him a curious look as he went to answer it.

"Let me get it."

He gestured for Hot Rod to remain seated as he opened the door greeting Ratchet and his Conjunx Drift.

The two came inside and he noticed Hot Rod looked frozen in shock, as he stared at the couple. He gave him a confused look wondering what was wrong and if he should kick them out.

Hot Rod shifted looking uncomfortable as he got back to work. Drift and Ratchet finally noticed he was there and both of them came over to greet him. Only to be surprised when they noticed Hot Rods belly.

Which was odd because Drift was Hot Rods Amica and should have already known. Watching them interact he started to get a bad feeling. Hot Rod seemed uncomfortable as the two started asking him very pointed questions.

Realizing what was going on he made his way over. Coming up with a quick lie he practically forced them out of his home. Both of them looked like they wanted to argue but they were no match for him.

Once he'd shut the door on their faces he turned to a nervous Hot Rod.

"Those two are the sire."

Hot Rod hesitated for a moment and then nodded. He came over and wrapped his arms around his grandsparkling.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Hot Rod began to cry and he pulled him in closer. His spark breaking when he listened to the way Hot Rod talked about himself. As though he didn't think he deserved to be loved.

Rodimus on berth rest after having twin sparks. He’s fueling them still sporting that very huge sparkling tank when Drift and Ratchet find him.

This is after the lost light, Ratchet lives, where the two said something that made Rodimus think they wouldn’t want a sparkling or want one with him

He laid between the two of them trying to hide how nervous he was. He'd recently found out he was sparked and didn't know how to tell them.

He decided to discreetly ask them questions about having sparklings. Wondering how they felt about it.

Ratchet had immediately scoffed at the idea saying he was too old and had too much to do. Drift nodded talking about how he wouldn't be a good influence and after everything that's happened sparklings are out of the question.

He felt tears in his optics. Even though he knew this would happen, he'd still gotten his hopes up like an idiot. He tried to hold back tears as he came up with an excuse to escape.

Going back to his apartment he broke down sobbing. Putting a hand against his belly he felt overwhelmed.

He didn't know what he was expecting. Part of him had hoped they would have wanted a sparkling and now he was trying to figure out what he was going to do.

He wanted to keep them which means he'd be doing this alone. It terrified him and he was scared he'd mess his sparkling up by being a terrible carrier.

Looking around his baren apartment he didn't realize how much time he spent with Drift and Ratchet. Unlike their apartment which is filled with warmth and always makes him feel at home.

His apartment was sad and empty with him barely unpacking anything, since he was barely there. It was also too small for him to raise a sparkling inside.

He knew his relationship with Drift and Ratchet was over. They wouldn't want the sparkling and he didn't want to burden them with his decision.

The first thing he needed to do is find another bigger apartment where he could raise his little one by himself.

He also needed to find a way to break things off with Ratchet and Drift. Even though he was just a fling and they wouldn't care if he stopped sleeping with them. He still felt guilty about up and leaving without saying a word.

While he was trying to figure out what to say. He got a call from Drift asking if he wanted to come over. His spark fluttered in his chest even though he knew it was because they wanted a threesome.

Panicking slightly he felt sick at the idea. He didn't want to be in a loveless relationship anymore. He was having a sparkling now and needed to grow up and stop chasing after a fantasy. He was nothing but stress relief to them and he deserved better. He wanted someone who loved him and if he stayed now he'd forever be stuck as a casual fling.

"I'm sorry Drift I can't come over."

"That's fine. Maybe you can come over tomorrow?"

"No. It's been nice spending time with you and Ratchet and I've enjoyed it a lot, but it's time I moved on."

"What? I don't understand. What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I don't want to do this anymore. I need a break to clear my head and get things in order."

"Rodimus..."

"I have to go now."

He hung up. Feeling guilty for upsetting Drift but when he put a hand on his belly he knew he was making the right decision.

After that things moved quickly. He got a new apartment in a nicer area with a better school. It was also bigger and had a nice kitchen. Looking around he could imagine his little one growing up there.

He worked hard on his little one's nursery and by the end it was one of his favorite places in the house. Looking at the crib he felt tears in his optics because everything felt so real. He was going to have a sparkling and raise them by himself.

Feeling a kick he placed his hand on his belly rubbing it soothingly. It was a good thing he'd broken things off when he did because his tanks had quickly swelled. Until it was obvious he was carrying.

His belly was really big and it made it hard to move at times. In the morning he'd always struggle to get up wishing someone was there to help him. Sometimes he'd imagine Drift or Ratchets warmth pressed against him. He'd pretend they were there helping him up and taking care of him. Only to open his optics and find himself in his empty apartment.

Alone except for his little one's who would be here soon.

He'd been in the kitchen grabbing something to eat when he felt a gush of energon. He looked down in shock his body cramping as he went into labor.

He rushed himself to the medbay with a hand on his belly. He was both excited and nervous.

Being taken to a room he went into emergence. After what felt like hours his sparkling was finally there. He smiled tiredly as he heard his little one cry only to gasp when he felt another cramp.

He heard frantic voices and then he was being told to push. He screamed in pain as he pushed again. He was so exhausted and he felt tears fall. Worried he wouldn't be able to push them out when he finally managed.

He stared in shock looking at his twin sparklings. Even though he was exhausted he still reached for them instinct taking over. His little one's cried for him and he kissed their little heads.

Holding them close he felt tears fall because they were so perfect. He opened his chest plates to let them feed and looked them over.

They were a mix between himself, Ratchet and Drift. Which made his spark ache because he wished they were there.

Focusing on his little ones he cooed watching as they cuddled against his chest falling asleep.

After being released from the medbay he was on bed rest. His lower body throbbed painfully and the medics said it would take a while before he lost the sparkling weight and to be patient.

He took care of his sparklings watching over them as they slept. They were both so perfect and he loved them so much.

When they awoke he opened his chest plates and watched as they both fed from him. He brushed a hand against their little heads when he heard a knock on the door.

Assuming it was one of the medics checking in. He unlocked the door shouting.

"It's open!"

He looked back at his sparklings when he heard a gasp. Confused he looked up in surprise to see Drift and Ratchet. Both of them were staring at his sparklings in surprise and he pulled them closer trying to hide them from view.

"What are you doing here?"

He gave them both a nervous look.

"You haven't been answering our calls we were worried about you. We tried going to your apartment and that's when we learned you moved."

"Kid what is going on?"

Ratchet pulled out a scanner and scanned him and the sparklings. Only to look at the results in shock.

"What is it?"

Drift gave him a worried look.

"Those are our sparklings. Rodimus why didn't you tell us?"

He shrugged looking down in shame.

"I asked about sparklings and you didn't want any. I didn't want to burden you."

"No Roddy."

Drift came to his side and he flinched. Pulling his sparklings away from him.

"We were talking about ourselves. We're too old and have gone through so much that we could never have sparklings."

"He's right."

Ratchet came over putting a hand on Drifts shoulder.

"We gave up on the idea a long time ago."

Looking at the two of them he didn't know what to do and he found himself crying as he was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. Drift and Ratchet held him. Sitting on either side he leaned against them for support. For so long he's wanted this and now he's finally got it.

He relaxed against them letting them hold their sparklings as he cuddled against them. He knew they had a lot to talk about but at least he wasn't alone anymore.

Roddy having sparkling brain with a bitty on his nozzle and another in the tank, answers the door forgetting he’s exposed.

Dratchrod here.

The two rush to cover him and he’s crying because he’s so embarrassed.

He needs a break.

He’s been doing paperwork and taking care of the sparkling at night and during the day against Drift and Ratchets many many protests because of new carrier anxiety, thinking he should make things easier for them since he doesn’t look good anymore after gaining so much weight and still having post sparkling frame while adding weight from the new bitty he carriers. And because he thinks they won’t want him anymore since he’s sporadically an emotional mess ever since carrying.

Poor baby needs some TLC and they happily give it to him.

He sighed feeling exhausted but he couldn't sleep. Not when his sparkling was crying because he was hungry. He picked his little one up and let him feed from his pouches. Walking around his apartment he tried to clean up wanting Drift and Ratchet to return to a clean home.

Hearing a knock on the door he went to answer it not thinking. Drift and Ratchet looked at him in surprise and quickly covered him.

He gave them a confused look until he realized his pouches were exposed. Embarrassed and exhausted he found himself crying which made his sparkling cry.

Drift and Ratchet rushed to help which made him feel guilty because they both had long shifts and now they were having to deal with this.

He felt like a horrible carrier and began to cry more. Ignoring his mates he brushed them aside promising to be better as he soothed his sparkling.

They tried talking to him and he went to their bedroom where he shut the door and locked it. He felt the sparkling in his belly move around and shift into an uncomfortable position.

He rubbed his belly feeling guilty for upsetting both his little one's. Outside the door Ratchet and Drift were trying to talk to him but he told them that he needed space.

Eventually they left and he sighed curling into a ball. He was so tired and struggled to stay awake.

Looking up he saw himself in the mirror and immediately looked away in disgust. He needed to be better and stop having these outbursts. Otherwise they were going to leave him.

His body was changed and was no longer the attractive speedster body his mates used to know. He felt ugly and he knew it was only a matter of time before they left him.

He didn't know how long he sat in that room holding his sleeping sparkling when there was another knock on the door.

Before he could say anything it opened revealing a concerned Drift and Ratchet which only made him feel worse.

"Rodimus are you okay?"

He sobbed and his mates held him.

"It's okay we've got you."

"Get some rest."

Ratchet leaned him back and he shook his head.

"No I have to take care of our little one. You two have been working all day and need a break."

"When was the last time you've had a break?"

"What?"

"Whenever the sparkling wakes up in the middle of the night you insist on going to him when one of us could."

"I don't want him disrupting your sleep. Besides I don't mind I can work on paperwork during that time."

"But you're not sleeping in the day. You're still taking care of our sparkling."

He shrugged wrapping his arms around himself.

"It's my job."

"It's our job as well."

"We love you Roddy which is why we can't keep watching you do this to yourself."

Drift pulled him close and he cuddled against his side.

"Get some rest we'll watch over the sparkling for you."

Ratchet nodded.

"You're carrying and should be pampered."

Ratchet rubbed his tank and Drift pulled the blanket over him. He wanted to complain or say they were wrong but he was so tired and exhaustion crept up on him.

Feeling his mates next to him he ended up falling asleep. Once they were sure he wouldn't wake up they came up with a plan to help him. Starting with getting him into therapy because he was obviously suffering from post spark depression.

Both of them promised to do a better job taking care of him and making sure he didn't feel like he had to do everything on his own.

Dratchrod where Drift and Ratchet are so turned on by how beautiful Rodimus looks while he carries their sparklings? Roddy is convinced he's not attractive with how much his body changed - he has a lovely big belly, his pouchers are now full of energon and very sensitive - but his two lovers beg to differ.

His sparkling reached for his energon and managed to spill some on himself. He cleaned up the mess and took his sparkling to the bathroom while he laughed and clapped his hands. Clearly pleased with himself even if he was a sticky mess.

"What am I going to do with you?"

He whispered fondly walking into the bathroom he grabbed a rag and went to turn on the water when he saw his reflection. He immediately looked away feeling uncomfortable.

His optics were drawn to his giggling sparkling and he cleaned him off. Trying to ignore his reflection in the mirror.

Hearing the door open he goes to see his Conjunx feeling nervous now that he's thinking about his body.

Standing in the doorway he waited for the look of disgust when they noticed how he'd let himself go and was surprised when they seemed happy to see him.

He assumed they were just happy to see his sparkling and that it wouldn't be long before they wanted him to sleep somewhere else so they didn't have to touch him.

He felt a tear fall and Drift gave him a worried look.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

He lied feeling embarrassed and Ratchet quickly scanned him in case something was wrong, which wasn't necessary.

He went to the kitchen and grabbed their dinner except his. Just looking at it made him feel disgusted. If he wanted to lose weight he needed to stop eating so much especially when he had cravings.

Sitting down with his Conjunx he focused on his sparkling who was cuddled against him. Smiling softly he rubbed his back and looked up to see Ratchet watching him.

"Why aren't you eating? Do you feel sick?"

Drift gave him a worried look and he shook his head.

"I already ate."

He gave them an embarrassed look and both of them smiled fondly. Which he knew was just to disguise their disgust.

"I'm going to put our little one to bed."

He stood up and went to the nursery. Rocking his sparkling a few times he laid him in bed and kissed his little forehead.

"I love you."

He ignored his hunger feeling ashamed that he'd dare to be hungry given how much he'd been eating.

He ended up going to bed early hoping sleep would distract him. When Ratchet and Drift tried to cuddle him later. He lied saying he was too hot and that he needed space. He laid on the edge of the bed with tears in his optics.

He wasn't worthy of their touch. If they wrapped their arms around him all they would feel is his fat ugly body.

This went on for a while and both Drift and Ratchet were worried. He tried his best to avoid them but he couldn't do it forever. After he almost fainted from lack of eating his mates sat him down for a talk.

It was hard and he cried a lot feeling ugly and disgusting. His mates tried to reassure him but he didn't believe them. He knew it was only a matter of time before they left him.

Drift and Ratchet were both worried about their Conjunx and scheduled an appointment with Rung. Knowing he was likely going through post carrier depression.

They also came up with a plan to make sure Rodimus knew how beautiful he is and how much they love his body.

Megamin ready to conjunx Rodimus after months of courting, but too late, they see Ratchet and Drift with Roddy in their arms

(My dratchrod heart must heal after all the angst I read 😭😭)

PS: I love what you do, and take recovery time from your surgery :)

They'd been courting Rodimus for a few months now. Wanting him to know how special he was. Despite all his confidence Rodimus could be self conscious at times believing he was unworthy of love and that no one would ever want him.

They didn't know who made him believe that but if they ever found them it wouldn't be good.

When they first decided to court Rodimus. They both wanted to do it right and make sure Rodimus knew how serious they were. Which is why they decided to learn more about Nyons customs.

Although it wasn't easy with the destruction of Nyon, much of the cities culture was lost but Minimus managed to find a book about Nyon courting rituals.

Food was a big part of courting ritual's. The people didn't have a lot but if you wanted to show someone you were interested in them you would have a meal with them. Another courting ritual that involved food was sharing. You would share food with the person you are interested in.

They made sure to invite Rodimus to lunch with them and have meals with him where they were share food.

Rodimus oftentimes brought home cooked meals which were always delicious but made them feel bad because they weren't very good cooks and their energon was usually bland and came straight from a dispenser.

Rodimus never complained though he seemed to be enjoying their company which was good. The two of them would talk for hours wanting to learn his interests so they could surprise him with gifts.

That was another part of Nyonian culture. The gift didn't have to be big or extravagant it could be simple and small. All that mattered was that the person recieving the gift felt special.

Which is why they wanted it to be personal. Megatron would write him poetry which was so beautiful he may have shed a few tears reading it.

He also gifted Roddy art supplies knowing how much he liked to draw.

Part of Nyonian culture was physical touch. Brushing hands, hugging, sitting close were all important. The two of them were a little awkward about touching Rodimus so much but they eventually got used to it.

They'd sit on either side with their legs brushing together. When Rodimus was in the captains suit Megatron would put a hand on his shoulder.

During shifts their hands would brush together and they'd sit next to each other in meetings.

Rodimus seemed to be responding well and they decided to ask him if he wanted to become their Conjunx.

Going to Swerves they both froze in shock when they saw Rodimus in between Drift and Ratchet. The three were snuggled together and feeding each other as they talked.

Rodimus had the happiest smile they'd ever seen and looked like he was in love.

The two watched realizing they were too late. While they'd been courting Roddy it seems Ratchet and Drift had been doing the same.

They watched as Drifts hands wrapped around Rodimus waist with envy. The way Roddy leaned in to it letting Ratchet feed him.

When a new song played Rodimus optics lit up with excitement and he pulled the two towards the dance floor. Ratchet complained a little about being too old but still joined them. The three of them danced together with Drift and Ratchets hands sliding all over his body as they pressed close.

Rodimus blushed and followed them out of Swerves and back to their room where they spent the night.

Although they were both upset they had lost Rodimus. They were happy he had found someone who loved him.

Rodimus going through serious spark break as he recalls the last time he carried. It ended in him losing the sparkling and he dealt with that alone.

Now he’s sparked again.

He spends his days wondering how he’ll tell drift and ratchet. If he even should tell them.

He couldn’t keep the last sparkling so why assume he can carry this one?

FW

He ran to the bathroom being as quiet as possible so he didn't wake Drift and Ratchet. Who were exhausted and needed their rest after working yesterday.

Throwing up what little he had in his tanks from the night before. He rubbed his belly and froze in horror.

He stood up in a daze and found himself wandering his ship until he made it back to his room. He left so abruptly he didn't even tell Ratchet or Drift where he was going.

Digging through his bottom drawer he reached into the back where he kept an emergency case of sparked tests, just in case. With shaking hands he pulled it out. Having never expected himself to be in this position since he'd always been so careful. Terrified after the last time he'd been sparked.

Waiting for the results felt like the longest few minutes of his life. He paced back and forth trying not to freak out.

"It's going to be okay. You'll be fine. You probably ate something bad. There's no way you could be sparked.

He glanced at the test and collapsed in horror. He found himself wailing as he hugged his middle rocking back and forth sobbing. He couldn't do it again. Not after he lost his first one. He shook his head in denial.

"I can't. I can't."

He sobbed, remembering the pain he'd felt after losing his sparkling. It had been shortly after Nyons destruction when he'd been a shell of himself.

The stress and pain of losing his city caused him to miscarry. It was one of the worst experiences of his life and for a long time he never thought he'd recover.

When he first found out he was sparked he'd been scared. It had been an accident and he didn't know how Soundwave would react.

His Conjunx had been supportive and amazing the entire time. Although it was unexpected they were both happy and would love their little one no matter what. Soundwave was always taking care of him even when he was busy fighting in the arena he always checked in with him.

He knew he was busy both with fighting in the arena and helping Megatron with the Decepticons. But if he ever needed him Soundwave was always there. He loved him so much and he couldn't wait to spend his life with him and the little family they were creating.

Both of them were determined to change Cybertron for the better. Even though Soundwave worried. He continued his work as a Nyonian rebel wanting his sparkling to grow up in a city free of Functionalist rule. Both of them were so hopeful of the future and the life they were creating. Their own little sanctuary amongst the chaos of their world.

Then his home was destroyed and everything fell apart. He remembered the shock and horror as he stared at the firey remains of his beautiful city.

Soundwave had immediately rushed to his side and was the only thing stopping him from running into his city and joining his people.

Stricken with grief he'd collapsed into his arms and sobbed. Soundwave took care of him the entire time as he grieved his home wishing he'd died with them.

He took care of him when he couldn't get out of bed making sure he took care of himself. He held him when he cried and supported him any way he needed. He listened when he told stories of his home wanting to keep his people alive. He supported and encouraged his ideas for a memorial and helped him come up with a plan.

He promised him vengeance swearing that he'd kill the person who destroyed his home. He promised to help him any way he could and stayed by his side the entire time.

He was so amazing and he didn't know how he'd survive without him. For a while things were starting to get better they were no where near perfect but at least he had his little one.

He promised to raise him in Nyonian culture. He wanted his little one to have strong ties to Nyon so that his home wasn't forgotten.

Then one day he'd woken up with blood between his legs and this time he fell into a depression that almost killed him. He didn't think he'd ever recover and sometimes he still struggled to get by.

He remembered screaming in agony as he held the bloody sheets in his hands. Sobbing uncontrollably as he begged his sparkling to come back.

He knew Soundwave was grieving during that time as well. But he'd been selfish and made it all about himself. Soundwave had to take care of him when he refused determined to kill himself.

All he could think about was his loss. First his home and now his sparkling. For him it was too much to take and sent him over the edge. All he wanted was to die and join his little one in the all spark.

He knew he was hurting Soundwave when he refused to speak or even acknowledge his existence.

He spent his days laying in bed staring at a wall. It had been the hardest time in his life and then as if he couldn't get any more selfish he up and left one day without a word. After everything Soundwave did for him he couldn't even leave him a message saying goodbye because he was too much of a coward.

He couldn't do it anymore. He was hurting the love of his life. Who was having to take care of him while grieving their little one. He was too selfish for someone as amazing as Soundwave and he could only hope he found someone better after he was gone.

He went back to his home city planning on killing himself, uncaring of Soundwave's feelings. He'd just lost his sparkling and now he was going to lose him.

He never deserved him. Soundwave was too good for him. He was a horrible Conjunx and an even worse carrier.

Instead of dying like he planned he chose to betray him and join the Autobots. He fought against him ignoring his attempts to reach out and talk. He severed all ties with him because he couldn't take the pain. Every time he looked at Soundwave he was reminded of what he lost.

Soundwave should have hated him. He should have resented him for all the pain he caused and yet he never stopped trying to help him. Even after everything he did Soundwave still loved him.

He never wanted to have another sparkling. He never wanted to go through that pain again and now he was going to experience it all over again.

He sobbed clawing at his tanks. He was a failure his body couldn't carry to term and he couldn't take losing another sparkling.

He shut himself in his room refusing to come out. Even when people tried talking to him he ignored them, demanding they leave. Ratchet and Drift tried speaking with him only to be yelled at.

Eventually everyone left him alone. He stepped down from co captain no longer able to lead his crew. Not that it mattered when he'd be dead soon.

It hurt but he knew he deserved it after all the pain he's caused. The only thing he can do is kill. Even his own body kills the life growing inside of him.

He paced the floor touching his growing belly and knowing it wouldn't be long now. As his sparkling grew. The worst he felt knowing he was going to lose his little one and trying desperately not to get attached even though it was so hard.

He broke things off with Ratchet and Drift ignoring their requests to talk with him. He lied saying that he wasn't ready and that he didn't feel anything for them.

He knew it was for the best. They didn't deserve having to deal with the mess that was him. He didn't want them to know about the sparkling and go through the pain of losing their little one. It was better if they never knew about the beautiful life growing inside of him.

Both of them had been angry and hurt when he'd broken things off. Especially Ratchet who yelled at him for leading them on and refusing to talk like an adult. Both of them were hurt and said things that haunted him and made him wonder if they ever truly loved him or if they were just putting up with him. He felt ashamed and broke down sobbing trashing his entire apartment after they left. Neither of them came back after that, their relationship completely destroyed.

He sobbed memories of his loss flashing before his mind. He knew he'd abandon them eventually, when he lost his sparkling and it was better to break things off now and save them the grief he caused Soundwave.

He didn't deserve them. They were too good for him and deserved so much better than a failure like him.

He thought about taking his life many times. It kept him up at night as he lay awake rubbing his growing belly. Everyone would be so much happier once he was gone.

Ratchet and Drift could forget about him and Soundwave could finally move on.

Before he left with the Lost Light. He met up with Soundwave because he deserved to know that he was leaving. The two of them talked about everything. Both of them cried together as they finally grieved their loss and it felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

He told him that he was in love with Drift and Ratchet and that he was going to tell them.

Soundwave was dissapointed but understood. Promising to always love him and that if he ever changed his mind he'd be there for him. If he didn't that was okay as well. Because he'd still be there for him and that he wished him the best in life.

He was amazing and deserved to find someone special who could give him a family something he'd always wanted, but could never have with him and his broken body.

Even though he loved Drift and Ratchet part of him would always love Soundwave and the love they shared. He would forever hold a piece of his spark.

Before he left the two of them decided to spend one last night together and that's what it made it worse. He didn't know if the sparkling was Ratchet and Drifts or Soundwave's.

It didn't matter now. None of them would ever know. Just like Drift and Ratchet he couldn't tell Soundwave. He'd already grieved one sparkling he didn't need to grieve another one. He couldn't put him through that pain again,

The only thing stopping him from ending it all was the life inside of him. He wouldn't kill himself until after his sparkling died. So all he did was lay in bed all alone waiting for the inevitable.

It was better this way. He couldn't hurt anyone else if he died like he was supposed to all those years ago. Once he was gone they would all be free and able to move on with their lives while he got to join the all spark with his sparklings.

Hi

I hope you are doing better.

Dratchrod barbarian au ( idk why i keep asking for barbarian aus i just love them right now )

Drift and Ratchet stumble upon a sparked Rodimus who is traveling alone. He has a healing injury and won’t say how he got it. He’s still in the beginning stages of carrying but his tanks look bigger than whats the normal stage

Drift froze and began sniffing the air getting a worried look from Ratchet.

"What's wrong?"

"It's hard to tell but someone is injured. I smell blood."

He grabbed his medkit and followed Drift who led him through the forest following the smell. They came upon a young mech who was cursing as he tried to free himself from the snow.

He had markings from a different tribe but his armor wasn't thick like there's and made for the heavy snow. Which meant he traveled from somewhere else.

Next to him Drift froze and gasped a little causing him to look over and that's when he noticed the bump on his belly and obvious sign of carrying.

He looked at his belly wondering why someone carrying would be traveling alone much less someone so far along.

Scanning the trees he wondered where the sire was. He didn't know if other tribes were different but in their tribe a sire takes care of their mate.

Drift bristled obviously thinking the same thing clearly unhappy that someone would abandon their carrying mate.

He slowly approached not wanting to startle the young mech, who froze with fear. He pulled out a small knife and held it up growling at them to stay back while he tries to protect his belly.

"You're injured. I can smell the blood."

The mech flinched and he held up the medkit. Ignoring the look Drift was giving him as he observed the shaking carrier.

"Let us help you."

The carrier shifted in obvious pain. Giving them a weary look.

"Why?"

"You are carrying?"

"Where is the sire?"

Drift scanned the woods expecting them to suddenly appear when the young mech flinched looking about ready to cry.

"I'm not going to mate with you if that's what you're thinking!"

He snapped looking angry and upset.

"This bitty belongs to my mate and I won't let anyone override the coding."

He put a possessive hand on his belly and he clicked soothingly.

"We won't do that. We just want to help. Please let us help you."

The mech hesitated. Putting a hand on his belly he gave it a worried look.

"Okay, but if you do anything I won't hesitate to defend myself."

"That's fine."

He carefully came over with Drift standing behind him on guard as he worked. He could see a few healing injuries and when he asked questions. The mech immediately shut his mouth refusing to say anything.

It was obvious someone had attacked him. From the marks he knew it had to be city bots and he felt angry that they'd try and attack a carrying bot.

He checked the sparkling over with his limited supplies and the mech watched him the entire time. His frame tense with worry as he gently touched his belly.

He knew if he made one wrong move he'd lose his hand. The mech was clearly stressed and would do anything to defend his sparkling.

"What's your name?"

Drift tried to distract him. Realizing the carrier was terrified that something was wrong with his sparkling.

The mech hesitated for a moment before responding.

"Hot Rod."

Drift smiled happy the carrier had opened up to them which was a good sign.

"The sparkling is okay Hot Rod you've done a good job taking care of them. Although I'm worried about you being on your own this far along."

Hot Rod shook his head looking nervous.

"I'm no that far along I just look big."

He shivered obviously freezing but trying to hide it. He glanced at Drift who seemed equally as worried. If they didn't do something the carrier and their sparkling would die.

"Why don't you come back with us? It's not safe out here and my tribe can help you."

Hot Rod immediately looked panicked as he tried to get away from him. Wincing in pain when he hurt himself in the process.

"No I can't!"

He cried shaking his head frantically.

"I won't let you take my sparkling away from me!"

He put a hand on his belly. Scared they'd try and force him to be their mate. He knew some tribes practiced kidnapping, but they didn't do that.

"We won't. I promise. You'll be safe with us."

Hot Rod shook his head looking frantic and not listening anymore. His body shook as he looked between them.

"No! Leave me alone! I won't let you hurt us!"

He tried to stand and his legs collapsed causing him to cry out in pain. He tried reaching for him and almost had his hand cut off.

He glanced at Drift for help who was trying to soothe the distraught carrier.

"No leave us alone! I won't let you force me to be your mate! You're not my sparklings sire and you never will be! He has a sire who loves him very much and I would rather die then take someone else as my mate!"

Hot Rod continued panicking as he tried to run away again. Both of them were trying to make him stop worried he'd hurt himself more, but he wasn't listening.

Hot Rod's body seemed unable to take the stress and when the mech took another step he collapsed.

He immediately looked him over and gave Drift him frantic look.

"We need to take him to the med tent immediately."

"What's happening?"

"His body is under a lot of stress and is beginning to shut down. We need to get him warm and I need to look over his injuries I think some of them are infected."

Drift helped him carry Hot Rod, even though he was surpringly light which wasn't a good sign.

They took him to the med tent ignoring the people who gathered around having questions. Wanting to know more about the mysterious carrier. He ignored them as he got to work wrapping him in blankets and bandgang his wounds. Until he was no longer at risk of losing his sparkling.

Even though Hot Rod was asleep he began to shift and cry out for someone named Soundwave who he assumed was the sire. He gave him a sad look because he couldn't imagine loosing his mate especially if he was carrying.

The very idea was devastating and he promised to look after him and make sure he was safe. When he looked behind him he knew Drift was thinking the same thing.

As they looked over the carrier someone else was desperately trying to reach him.

Can we get a part ii to Drift and Ratchet trying to court Hot Rod but Perceptor is blocking them/trying to scare them off? I can see Hot Rod being exasperated because he genuinely loves the two and wants to be with them.

He found Hot Rod sobbing in his room and he rushed to see what was wrong.

"What happened? Are you okay?"

He checked him over for injuries while his bitty clung to him.

"Am I ugly?"

"What? No. Who told you that?"

He looked at his bitty in shock and then anger. His engine revved and he promised to kill whoever said that to his little one.

"No one said it to me but it has to be true. I thought Ratchet and Drift liked me but now they're avoiding me."

Hot Rod cried and he gave him a surprised look. Because he didn't think they'd give up so easily. He thought they would have put up more of a fight, instead of letting his bitty go.

He felt justified about pushing them away. It was for the best after all. They gave up on his bitty and weren't willing to fight for him. Which means they clearly didn't deserve him. In Nyon people fight for their potential mates. Even if they have to fight the entire functionalist guard.

If they couldn't fight for his sparkling they were unworthy of his love and he hoped Hot Rod could find someone better now that they were gone.

Even as he said that Hot Rods cries made him feel guilty for pushing them away. His bitty obviously loved them and was hurting right now.

He held him hoping that he'd be able to move on in time and realize that he could do so much better.

Hot Rod cried himself to sleep in his arms and he laid him in bed making sure he was comfortable. He then left his room and went to grab his favorite snacks and movie.

Along the way he stopped by Drift and Ratchets room. When the two of them saw him they immediately frowned.

"I hope you're happy."

"We did what you wanted and have stopped courting Hot Rod."

"I'm very happy because now Hot Rod can find someone better."

"What's your problem with us?"

Ratchet snapped clearly annoyed.

"You don't know Hot Rod. You act like you do but you don't. I see the way you two are with each other and I know my sparkling will only end up hurt. You two will always love each other more than Hot Rod."

"That's not true."

"Yes it is. Hot Rod will always feel like a third wheel. Whenever it comes to important matters or arguments it will always be you two against him."

"We can change."

He shook his head.

"The biggest reason I didn't think you two were worthy of my sparkling is because you gave up."

"You told us to leave him alone."

"You shouldn't have listened! In Nyon mates protect each other. They fight for each other and it doesn't matter who's in their way they will always fight for their mate but not you two. He deserves better and you two know it. Which is why I think you really stepped down because deep down you knew that Roddy could do so much better and you two were only holding him back."

He walked away leaving the two of them speechless as he went to pick up the snacks and a movie. When he got back Hot Rod was still curled up in a little ball asleep and he rubbed his back.

"Soon you'll get over them and then I'll help you find the perfect mate."

Hi i have no idea if i already asked this but a part two of heavily sparked Roddy who went to help his grandsire Kup and Drift and Ratchet saw him heavily sparked.

He’s not due yet but still looks like it and the two manage to corner him when he’s slowly waddling back home with a servo on his back and another under his massive tank.

It was really late at night and he went to get a craving

Even though Kup wanted him to stay he decided to go home. Promising he'd tell his carrier in the morning. It was getting late and he was almost home when he smelled something delicious.

His belly rumbled even though he'd already eaten before he left and he was unable to resist.

He found himself following the smell which led him to a small store.

Walking inside he was drawn towards this delicious dish that he immediately bought. He wasn't paying attention as he focused on the cashier and the meal in front of him.

The cashier was gushing about how cute his belly was and he smiled listening to them talk. He was nervous about telling his carrier but he knew he couldn't keep it a secret forever and it was better to tell him now then later.

"Rodimus?"

He jumped in surprise and looked over to find Drift and Ratchet standing there. The cashier immediately looked on edge and he tried to act like nothing was wrong even though his spark was pounding in his chest.

"We need to talk."

Drifts optics narrowed at the cashier and he felt nervous. He wasn't ready to tell them about the sparkling.

The cashier frowned telling them to leave and he quickly reassured them that he was fine. The cashier gave Ratchet and Drift a weary look clearly sensing the tension between them.

He forced himself to leave the store with Drift and Ratchet following closely behind him. When they were somewhere semiprivate the two of them confronted him.

He ignored the way his legs shook as he put a comforting hand on his belly reminding himself that he'll be okay.

"The sparkling is yours."

He finally confessed.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"I don't know. I was scared and I didn't think you'd want the sparkling. It's okay if you don't. I can raise them by myself."

"Of course we'll help you raise them. We were worried about you and thought something was wrong when you disappeared on us."

Drift gave him a sad look and he winced looking ashamed.

"I'm sorry."

"Why would you think we wouldn't want you?"

"Because you two have each other and I'm nothing more than a fling."

"Roddy."

Both Drift and Ratchet gave him a surprised and sad look.

"We don't see you as a fling. We were trying to court you."

"What?"

He looked between the two of them as they came over and took both his hands.

"We love you and we want to bond with you."

He felt tears fall as he shook his head.

"No you're lying. You're only saying that because I'm sparked. You don't want me. You can't."

Both of them hugged him and he sobbed his emotions causing him to become a mess as they pulled him closer reassuring him that they loved him and wanted to be with him.

"Let us show you how much we love you."

He looked between the two of them and nodded unable to resist. Even though he'd tried to stay away he'd missed them so much and he needed them.

He let them take him home where they took care of him and reminded him that they loved him even before he was sparked.

Rodimus finally feeling safe enough to drop and reveal he’s a bottom/sub after a passionate round of interfacing with drift & ratchet.

They are so shocked he isn’t a dom or service top like they thought but they love him still and slowly take him apart accidentally overloading inside him.

…maybe a sparkling comes maybe one doesn’t up to you

He could feel both Ratchet and Drift on either side boxing him in as they drank and laughed. Every brush of their thighs against his sent shivers up his spine.

He felt safe in that moment. Like he was wrapped in a warm blanket on the verge of falling asleep.

He felt Drift nudge him and he blinked looking over at his Amica who grinned.

"Don't tell me you're already getting tired?"

He shook his head because he wasn't. He was just enjoying himself. Taking his glass he finished his drink and looked around. Watching people dance to the pounding music he found himself itching to do the same.

Both Ratchet and Drift noticed his interest because they took his hands and led him to the dance floor. Where the three of them danced together even though Ratchet complained that he was too old for this.

He laughed leaning against them both as he spun around. Moving his body to the rhythm of the music with his optics closed as he let himself get lost in the music.

Feeling someone staring at him he opened his optics to find Ratchet and Drift watching him with lust in their optics. He blushed feeling embarrassed and uncertain.

The two of them confidently came over and pulled him away from the dance floor. He found himself following along unable to resist as the three of them made out, their hands roaming his body.

They took him back to their room and he let them kiss him. His mind felt foggy and he laid back in bed watching as the two of them made out.

His body felt nice and relaxed and he enjoyed the moment. He watched as the two pulled away slightly but didn't go far. Ratchet frowned noticing something was off and gave him a worried look.

"Are you okay?"

He gave them a sluggish nod and Drift glanced at Ratchet noticing something was wrong as well.

"I didn't think you had that much to drink and you seemed fine when we were dancing."

Ratchet scanned him and began checking him over.

"Most of the energex has already left his body. Something else is going on."

Drift looked at his aura and then gasped nudging Ratchet slightly.

"Ratty he's in sub space."

"What?"

Ratchet glanced at him again taking in the foggy trusting look in his optics and the way he was nice and relaxed.

"He's already deep in sub space even though we haven't done anything yet besides make out."

Drift stroked his head and he leaned into his touch while Ratchet watched them.

"I thought he was a dom. He always seemed like one."

"I thought he was one as well."

Hearing their conversation he felt tears in his optics as the blissful feeling started to fade.

"I'm sorry I'm not what you wanted please don't leave me."

He sobbed and both of them gave him an alarmed look.

"We're not going to leave you."

"We love you so much we were just surprised."

Drift stroked his helm and looked at Ratchet.

"We're going to take care of you and show you how much we love you."

Ratchet kissed his hand and reassured him that he was safe. The two of them coaxed him back into sub space with the promise they would take care of him.

He let them moaning as they made love to him and filled him with their transfluid. It felt so good and he ended up crying from happiness as they cuddled together.

Both Drift and Ratchet were worried at first. Until they realize it was because he was happy. With everyone else he felt the need to perform and be someone he wasn't to please them. With Drift and Ratchet he could be himself and it lifted a weight off his shoulders he didn't even realize was there.

A few weeks later he started to feel weird. He began throwing up in the morning and having weird cravings he didn't have before. Most foods would make him sick including his usual blend.

Ratchet immediately noticed the signs and took him to the medbay where the three of them nervously waited for the results as they talked over what they were going to do.

When the results came back positive they were all happy. They hugged each other and he may have cried a little from happiness.

can we get a part 2 to hidden frame au, when drift and ratchet accidentally find out about rodimus being sparked? will perceptor and rodimus really leave the lost light? will the couple chase after him? i'm on the edge of my seat!!

He quickly packed whatever he could while Rodimus lay unconscious.

He knows if Rodimus was awake he'd be protesting the idea of leaving. The Lost Light was his home but it won't be for long.

Hearing pounding on the door he froze his spark pounding in his chest as he was reminded of a time long ago. He couldn't protect Rodimus then but he could protect him now.

He wasn't going to let them hurt his bitty. He finished packing and grabbed an old invention he'd made.

After losing Hot Rod he worked tirelessly to create something that would protect those like him, in case anyone found out their secret. He would never let another carrier suffer the way he had. Not if he could help it.

He could hear Drift and Ratchet outside the door demanding to be let in and talk. He felt rage bubble up inside of him because they couldn't leave Rodimus alone. He told them to stop and they didn't listen and now he was in danger because of them.

He blocked both of them refusing to answer their calls. They could get fragged for all he cared. It was because of them that his bitty was losing his home. It was because of their actions that Rodimus and their sparkling were in danger. No wonder he didn't trust them enough to tell them his secret.

When he got a call from Brainstorm. He immediately answered it having a feeling it was important and he felt his spark drop when Brainstorm told him the bad news. The people on monitor duty had seen the whole thing.

They knew Rodimus was sparked and were telling everyone. A crowd was already forming in order to capture them. Ultra Magnus and Megatron were trying their best to hold everyone back but they didn't have a lot of time.

Outside he could hear Drift pull out his swords but they wouldn't work. He'd built those doors to keep Overlord and the entire DJD out. He was not going to bust inside and hurt his bitty more than he already has.

"I have to go. People are trying to get into the lab because they think you're here. Don't worry I'll make them pay for trying to hurt you. Also someone has already been sent to help you two escape. I'll try to meet you at the hanger, but if I can't... I want you to know that I've always loved you and I always will no matter what and that you two better stay safe out there."

He felt tears in his optics and he nodded even though Brainstorm couldn't see him.

"I love you too."

"Now go protect your bitty."

Brainstorm hung up and he grabbed Rodimus while, Drift and Ratchet continued demanding to be let in wanting to talk.

"Get fragged!"

He shouted in anger wishing he could punch them again because once clearly wasn't enough. Neither of them liked that answer and he could hear Ratchet trying to use medical override codes which also weren't going to work.

He held his invention in hand as he slowly walked towards the door ready to use it on them when he heard a loud clang and then Cyclonus voice.

"Are you two okay?"

Brainstorm told us what happened and we're here to help."

He sighed in relief and opened the door to see Ratchet and Drift unconscious. Whirl looked unapologetic as he stood over them having been the one to knock them unconscious.

Tailgate gave Rodimus a worried look.

"Is he okay?"

"Physically yes but emotionally he's a mess. I had to knock him out because he was overtaxing his systems. This isn't easy for him and I know Rodimus is going to be struggling for a while."

All four of them gave Drift and Ratchet an angry look for ruining his life. The only thing holding Whirl back from killing them is that Tailgate would be upset.

They could hear shouting down the hallway and Tailgate grabbed his hand. Whirl protected them from the front and Cyclonus from the back as they quickly made it through the hallways.

Every time they passed a camera Whirl would destroy it since the people on monitor duty had been the one to tell everyone.

If they ran into someone in the hall Whirl or Cyclonus would quickly deal with them. Whirl was a lot less gentle and wanted them to suffer for a while.

"Hurry! They're gaining on us!"

They took a few more turns and made it to the hanger which was locked.

He gave it a panicked look when Tailgate reassured him.

"Megatron input an override code locking it for everyone except us."

He nodded pulling Rodimus closer as Cyclonus opened the door.

"Over there."

He pointed at a shuttle and Tailgate opened the door. He climbed inside looking at them for what might be the last time.

"Thank you for this. You have no idea how much it means to us."

"Of course."

Whirl nodded giving him the wrecker salute which he returned.

Going into the ship he wasted no time getting it started. He heard the hanger door explode as some of the crew rushed inside to stop them from leaving including Ratchet and Drift.

Which made him sick feel sick. Even though those people were planning on killing their sparkling and doing things he couldn't imagine to Rodimus they were choosing to help them.

They tried to stop him from taking off but it was too late. He took off leaving the Lost Light behind as they entered hyperspace.

Once they were finally safe he sighed in relief and went to check on Rodimus who should be waking up by now.

He walked into the bedroom where he'd quickly deposited him before going to the controls. When he got there he was just in time to see Rodimus wake up.

He looked around the familiar room. Still disoriented from the drugs when he realized they were no longer on the Lost Light. Tears entered his optics and he rushed to his side giving him a sad look.

"I'm so sorry Rodimus. They found out and they were after us."

His bitty sobbed and he held him for a long time.

"Brainstorm, Whirl, Tailgate, Cyclonus, Megatron and Ultra Magnus helped us escape. We couldn't have done it without them."

Rodimus nodded still looking sad. Especially when he noticed Drift and Ratchet weren't on the list. He thought about telling him that Drift and Ratchet were helping the people who wanted to hurt him and his bitty, but decided against it at least for now.

He deserved to know what kind of monsters they were. Nut he knew it would break his spark and he'd already gone through enough for one day.

"I thought maybe they were different... Maybe we could be different but I was wrong."

He wrapped his arms around his belly as more tears fell and he felt his spark break. He wished things could have been different. He never wanted Rodimus to live in fear. All he wanted was for his sparkling to be happy. He never wanted him to go through the same fate he did and yet here they were.

"I'm sorry Rodimus. I wish there was more that I could do."

Rodimus nodded asking if he could be alone for a while. He was reluctant to leave him when he was obviously still upset, but he knew Rodimus needed time to process everything.

His whole world had just come crumbling around him and now he had to pick up the pieces. He forced himself to leave and go to the bridge. Sitting down heavily he stared out the window wishing things could be different.

I'm very curious now after reading the story of Percy rejecting Dratchetrod. Who would Percy approve of being with Hot Rod? Soundrod? Megarod? Rodimags? I must know who you think deserves to be with Rodders!

Some people would say that he didn't think anyone was good enough for his bitty and that was mostly true. Everyone who tried to court Hot Rod was unworthy and only wanted to frag his sparkling and then leave him.

He refused to let anyone break his spark which is why he was determined to chase them all away.

Hot Rod might not like it, but eventually he'll understand that he's doing what's best for him.

Drift and Ratchet had backed off and were leaving Hot Rod alone. He'd been sad about it for a while but was slowly starting to heal.

In their place came others like Megatron and Ultra Magnus.

He absolutely refused to let Megatron court his bitty. He was a war criminal who not only killed Hot Rod but also hurt him on numerous occasions.

There was also the risk that he was going to die when they found the knights of Cybertron and he refused to let his bitty go through that pain.

He would have begrudgingly accepted Ultra Magnus because he would have been good for his bitty and he knows Hot Rod liked him. The only problem was that he was in a relationship with Megatron which was unacceptable. He didn't want Hot Rod near him. He didn't care if he changed he still killed his sparkling and he would forever hold a grudge.

Thunderclash had also shown his interest numerous times in the past and has been very sweet. He'd always come by and check on Hot Rod bringing him little gifts to help him feel better.

He was someone he could approve of. Thunderclash was strong and could protect his sparkling from anyone who wanted to hurt him. He also cared about Hot Rod a lot and it was obvious to everyone around that he was in love with him and would do anything for him.

The only problem is that Hot Rod wasn't interested in him. He didn't like Thunderclash at all and seemed annoyed with his presence which confused him. He was hoping that maybe once he moved on from Drift and Ratchet he'd give him a chance.

When Hot Rod got over his crush he was so happy that he started to look for potential suitors for his sparkling. He was so busy that he didn't even notice Hot Rod sneaking around with someone. Until he accidentally caught them together.

He stared in shock as Soundwave of all people held his bitty and immediately yelled. He tried threatening him in private which didn't work. Apparently the two of them have known each other for a lot longer than he realized.

They used to be in a relationship before the war and were forced to separate during the war and now that it was over Soundwave wasn't going to lose him again.

Even after all this time and dealing with the war the two of them still loved each other and no matter what he did, Soundwave would never leave Hot Rod.

Although he didn't like it he didn't have much of a choice. Hot Rod loved him and Soundwave wasn't leaving him anytime soon.
