JOE'verse. The Pit, Wheeljack and WakeJumper's workshop. Another sister.
Wheeljack looked up at his wife after explaining the situation, his eyes steady on her face, then added gently, "Prowl already asked Ratchet, and Ratch said no. I'm the only other bot besides First Aid that might be able to do this. I know Prowl's got his little girl, and Swiper does her best to keep him happy. But he just can't stand the thought that Blue's gone, and that there's nothin' left of her."
"So he wants you to try and make a spark, like you and Ratchet did for the Dinobots and for First Contact," said WakeJumper quietly, ignoring one of said Dinobots as they gently patted her on the head to compare heights.
"Yeah." Wheeljack took a deep draught of air through his intakes, then sputtered and told Slag to put out the fire in the trash can.
"But I don't have Ratchet's brains for this," he added, looking back to his wife. "So I'm gonna have to use part of a living spark as a base."
WakeJumper blinked and gave him a worried and slightly fearful look, one hand going out to absently pat Swoop as the pteranodon nudged her arm for attention.
Wheeljack sighed. "It won't hurt me. But I wanna know if me havin' a baby with another woman's gonna hurt you." He reached to take her free hand in both of his, gently rubbing her fingers. "Because even helping Prowl ain't worth that."
WakeJumper blinked again, and then pulled him close in her shy and gentle way. "It won't hurt me." She chuckled softly as a fluttering started up in her chest. "I think Lily wants another sister."
"Yeah?" Wheeljack smiled up at her, then stuck his face to her chest and spoke, his voice muffled. "You wannanother sister, kid?"
"Wanna sister." Swoop pecked him on the butt.
"Yeeouch!" He jumped and swatted at the obstreperous youngster. "Don't do that. I need that can ta sit on." Then he looked up at WakeJumper again, his mouth curling up at the corners in answer to her shy smile. "Alright, babe. Let's get that spark coding doohicky all set up. What should we name the kid?"
"Why not use the name of that woman we met in the Nexus?" she asked softly.
"Hrrrm. Which woman..." He tapped his mask but then perked as he let his hands drop and headed for the equipment lockers.
"Oh yeah. Eclipse."
"So he wants you to try and make a spark, like you and Ratchet did for the Dinobots and for First Contact," said WakeJumper quietly, ignoring one of said Dinobots as they gently patted her on the head to compare heights.
