Breaking Water

For three days I have been sitting in my living room watching TV and thinking about how much I missed Ironhide. There was no way for me to contact him though; apparently, Ratchet had lost communication with them and the rest of the soldiers days ago. He and everyone down at the base had been working on a way to bring back communications, but nothing worked, so Ratchet and another group of soldiers wound up flying over to China themselves to see if there was an issue. Let's just say that no one has heard from them since they arrived in China and I was beyond worried that something happened to him, Ironhide, my dad, Epps, and the rest of the Autobots and soldiers.

Being stressed out and being nine months pregnant was not a good mix though. This was basically the same situation my mom and I had been in back in 2007 when a Decepticon attacked their base in Qatar. My thoughts were that this was worse, and I was afraid that they wouldn't come back. I had no idea why they were in China and I had no idea what part of China they were in. It just increased my worry by a dozen times. 

There was nothing that could really calm me down about this situation, but there were three people who loved trying to help. Mikaela, Adalyn, and Carly had been with me since Ratchet took off for China. They were trying to make me feel better about the situation, but it didn't quite work. The worry I felt was so intense that I figured Kaelyn must be feeling it too. I know I'd be worried too if I were her; her father and her grandfather were off in some strange country doing Primus knows what and there was no way that we could reach them. 

I still found it very amusing how my dad was almost thirty-eight years old and having a granddaughter. He probably never expected me to even have a kid. If anything, he was probably waiting on me to have one as a sixteen year old considering the fact that he had only been sixteen when he got my mom pregnant. It was funny actually. I had surpassed him and I loved making fun of him about it. I just wished that I could make fun of him about it right now, but he was somewhere in China without any way to communicate with me at all, and the more I thought about it, the more worry found its way inside my body. 

"You need to calm down," Carly told me. She had been here with me for the past three days. I insisted she stay with Sam, but she told me that her pregnant friend's well-being was far more important than her nutty boyfriend so I just let her be. 

"I'm sorry. I'm just worried. I know that humans don't have enough skill to do much damage to the Autobots, but there are other natural factors that can contribute to Autobot destruction. I don't know what to make of it," I answered her; hopefully she could hear me. At the moment I was sitting on the couch wrapped in a huge ass comforter. I felt like a burrito, but I was comfy as hell. 

"I understand that you're worried, but they're going to be fine. I promise you that," Adalyn said to me.

I just scoffed and grabbed the remote off the coffee table before turning the channel. I wasn't exactly a fan of the Twilight Saga and I definitely wasn't up for watching it any longer. If anything, the news was more interesting than Twilight and ironically, that's exactly what channel the TV ended up on. 

"Why are you watching the news? You hate the news," Mikaela remarked. 

I just shrugged. "It's far more interesting than Twilight ever will be." I stopped talking at the sight of a large cloud of smoke on the screen. The headline below it read 'Explosion in Shanghai kills hundreds'. My eyes widened. I truly hoped Shanghai wasn't where they were at. 

"We have breaking news from China tonight. A major factory explosion in Shanghai yesterday has claimed the lives of hundreds of factory workers and civilians. We aren't sure as to whether or not the American faction of the incident has made it out safely or not, but so far things aren't looking too good. We'll be sure to keep you updated about the issue. I'm Tori Fields-," I turned the channel before she could continue.
