Sunstreaker grimaced a bit at this and rubbed her stomach softly.
Whiplash rumbled happily at the feeling and hummed. "Hopefully soon."
Nightstrider smiled when the sparkling shifted from pressing her ribs to chasing Sunstreaker's rubbing hand. Releasing a soft vent, she relaxed against him and the couch, stretching her legs out and crossing them at the ankles.
Sideswipe nodded and smooched her helm as they turned the corner, spotting the door. "I hope so too. At least she has an awesome friend like you to keep her company." he gave a soft chuckle. "That was still funny though, last month when you got her laughing so bad that her chest leaked again. What did you tell her again that made her laugh like that?"
Sunstreaker clicked softly and continued, humming when he felt his twin getting close.
"Mmm thats for me to know~" She twittered at him.
Nightstrider laughed softly as the sparkling played with Sunstreaker, humming softly as she fluttered her doors slightly.
Sideswipe pouted. "So unfair~ I'm left to forever rot in my curiousity~" He chuckled. When they got to the door, he opened it for her, smiling softly. "After you, my darlin'~"
Sunstreaker nuzzled her doorwings softly and purred lovingly, humming to pass the time.
Whiplash smiled and chirped as she waddled past.
Nightstrider smiled at him, turning her head with a curious trill as she heard the door open. Seeing Whiplash come waddling in, Nightstrider waved slightly. "Hello, Whiplash!" she chirped softly, letting her arm drop back down to rest on her stomach.
Sideswipe smiled and followed her in, waving to his brother and his brothers femme when he saw them.
Whiplash chirped and fluttered her wings as she waddled over as fast as she could.
Sunstreaker gave them a small wave.
Nightstrider smiled at the femme as she approached, patting the empty half of the couch to her left, since Sunny took up the corner on her right. "How are you today, Whiplash? Has the little one started moving yet?"
Sideswipe chuckled and followed his exuberant mate a little more slowly.
Whiplash made a small sound of frustration as she sat down. "No," She huffed.
Sunstreaker watched his brother and twittered a bit.
Nightstrider patted her thigh gently. "Give it time." she smiled at her. "It'll start moving soon, I'd wager." she hummed. She shifted uncomfortably as her back and side ached in a phantom twinge, giving a small grunt. "When it does," she teased, "you'll both love it and loathe it. Once the kicks really start up, the little things seem to target your waste tanks and air vents." she winked. "It really knocks you breathless."
Sideswipe chuckled and settled on the arm of the couch, glancing at his brother. "How is she?" he asked. "Many Braxton hicks?"
Whiplash clicked and reached out to rub her stomach. "I bet."
Sunstreaker vented and nodded. "Yes, many throughout the day."
Whiplash's hand was met with a flurry of greeting kicks. Nightstrider winced briefly, her antenna flicking. "For the sake of your mate's sanity," she clicked, "I hope your sparkling decides to arrive on time." Letting off a small hiss, Nightstrider grunted in pain against a short Braxton hicks contraction.
Sideswipe tsked and hummed softly. "Her oil hasn't broken though, has it?"
Whiplash clicked and whistled, trying to sooth the sparkling a little. "As do I..."
Sunstreaker gave his mates hand a squeeze. "No, it hasn't."
Squeezing back on his hand slightly, Nightstrider vented sharply, relaxing as soon as it ended. With a sigh, she smiled at Whiplash. "I sincerely hate Braxton hicks." She massaged a spot on her lower abdomen that ached painfully. "Thanks though, whiplash." she said. "That helps, what your doing right now."
Sideswipe nodded lightly, watching them. "Have you guys tried walking, to speed it up? Or asked Hatchet what to do?"
Whiplash nodded and nuzzled her friend worriedly.
Sunstreaker vented softly. "Walking is very hard for her."
Nightstrider nuzzled her back softly, smiling gently. Reaching out, she gently rubbed Whiplash's distended abdomen, clicking gently as she hummed. "How far along are you now, 'Lash?"
Sideswipe frowned softly. "It's 'cause she's overdue, i'd bet. Has Ratchet said anything about it? Like, inducing her?" he paused. "Is inducing even possible in our race?"
"Nearly two months I think," She clicked, humming softly.
"We would have to ask Ratchet," He sighed.
Nightstrider smiled. She was too big to lean down and nuzzle the swell, unfortunately, but she still could rub it. "Your in the beginning of your second trimester then." she clicked with soft optics. "It'll start moving soon." she smiled.
Sideswipe hummed softly. "True." he sighed softly. Then he cast his brother a solid look. "How are you holding up? With the stress and nerves, I mean."
Whiplash chirred softly. "I hope so."
Sunstreaker clicked and scrubbed his good hand over his face. "Horrible."
Sideswipe gave his brother a hug over the twin bond and sighed softly. "It'll be over soon, Bro. The sparkling cant stay in there forever." he offered.
Nightstrider smiled. "It will." she said in a determined tone. Her hand tightened on Sunstreakers as her stomach tightened, pulling a pained hiss from her throat as her hand withdrew from Whiplash's stomach to press to her own.
Sunstreaker squeezed back, clicking to her worriedly.
Whiplash remained silent, watching helplessly.
Nightstrider's vents hitched and she let off a soft gasp, curling around her belly slightly. When it started to fade, she leaned back with a tired vent. "Ow..."
Sideswipe leaned forwards, watching intently, wondering if he should get Ratchet, or if it was a false alarm.
"Should... we get Ratchet?" Sunstreaker nuzzled her softly.
Whiplash clicked softly, looking at her mate.
Nightstrider vented softly, grimacing. "Its probably a false alarm, but better safe then sorry." the aching persisted in her stomach as the plates shifted again in a small contraction.
Sideswipe looked at his brother. "Do you want me to bring him here? Or help you get her there?"
"We should bring her there," Sunstreaker rumbled. "Help me would you?"
Whiplash got up and wobbled.
