[WHILE KNOCKOUTS POV IS TAKING PLACE BREAKDOWN IS ON A MISSION THAT HE WAS ASSIGNED]
(Knockouts POV)
It's only been one week since Breakdown and I found out we were having a sparkling and I'm already having second thoughts. I'm constantly purging, my helm is always dizzy and my frame aches all over. I don't know how I'm going to put up with this for a whole metacycle. But even with all of this happening to me I'm doing a surprisingly good job hiding it from the others. But hiding the symptoms is one thing, hiding the physical changes that will happen to me will be more difficult. I shake my helm trying not to think about it, I mean those changes won't happen for quite a bit, and when they do they won't really be noticeable at first. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Megatron came over the com link.

"Knockout you are needed in the bridge." I composed myself and took a big vent before replying.

"On my way my lord." I then started to make my way towards the bridge. My processor was racing, "Does he know? No he can't possibly know, Breakdown and I are the only ones who even talked about it, but what if Soundwave heard us? Scrap!" I took a deep vent, and then entered the bridge making my way towards Megatron. He was looking out of the bridges window with his back facing me, his arms behind him as he looked. I stopped just a few feet away from him and knelt down. "You wanted to see me lord Megatron?" I tried to hide my nervousness but I could tell that it failed.

"Yes. I did." Megatron didn't even turn around to face me as he spoke. "Are you alright Knockout? You sound unwell." At this point I was starting to get nauseous with how nervous I felt, well maybe it was my nerves, or maybe it was just the sparknancy.

"Y-yes Lord Megatron I am well." I cursed myself for stuttering.

"Hmmm. Well in that case I need you to assist Soundwave in repairing our communication satellite that was damaged." He finally turned around to face me, I immediately straightened my posture and tried to look as normal as possible.

"Yes of course my liege." I then stood back up and looked at Soundwave. He started to walk out of the bridge and to the flight deck, which was where the communication satellite was located. I followed behind him, fidgeting with my digits as we went. We made it to the flight deck and headed towards the broken communication satellite. When we reached it I looked at him. "Soooo... What do you want me to do?" I continued to look at Soundwaves expressionless visor. Soundwave then pointed to the part of the satellite that had been damaged and then pointed at me. "You want me to fix it?" I paused before I continued. "By myself?" I put my servo on my hip confused, does he really expect me to do all of this myself? He nodded.

"Well what are you going to do then?" I asked slightly annoyed. Soundwave then pulled up the satellite on his visor, and then spoke with what sounded like a vehicons voice. -Reboot communications- "Ohhhh, you want me to fix the wiring while you reboot the satellite to get it back online, that is what you want me to do, right?" Soundwave nodded again before turning towards the satellite and extending his tentacle like appendages attaching them to it. I began to work on the damaged part of the satellite. Every once in a while I would peak over the side of the satellite to see if Soundwave had moved at all. I guess I was just paranoid for some reason.

After working on the satellite for about an hour I started to feel dizzy. I reached for the satellite to keep myself from falling but I missed. Just as I was about to fall I felt servos under my arms steadying me. I took a few deep vents and the dizziness went away. -Are you alright Knockout?- Soundwave played Megatrons voice recording through his speakers. Soundwave removed his servos but still stood behind me in case I fell. "I-I'm fine Soundwave I'm just... Tired." Soundwave then helped me sit down. I looked up at Soundwaves visor whenever I heard a beep. On his visor it said the word, "Rest." I slightly smiled at Soundwave and thanked him. I don't remember when but I must have fallen into recharge because when I woke up I was in my berth and Breakdown had his arm around me, deep in recharge. I didn't know how I got there, but I wasn't complaining. I closed my optics and drifted back into recharge.

(Breakdowns POV)
I had just gotten back from my mission and I immediately went to find Knockout. I went by the medbay first. "Hey Knocky you in here?" I say as I walked into the medbay. I looked around, nothing. I checked our berthroom. "Knockout?" He wasn't in there either. At this point I started to get worried. I was speed walking through the hall whenever I bumped into Starscream.

"HEY! Watch it!" He screeched.

"Sorry about that commander Starscream, Hey you wouldn't happen to know where Knockout is would you?" Starscream rolled his optics and crossed his arms.

"He's on the flight deck helping Soundwave repair a com satellite." He scoffed.

"Oh ok thank you commander!" I rushed towards the flight deck. Once I arrived I saw that Soundwave was working on the satellite and Knockout was laying on the ground in recharge. I walked over to Knockout and carefully picked him up so I wouldn't wake him. As I left with Knockout I could feel Soundwaves optics following me. I took him to our berthroom and laid him down on our berth. I was actually pretty tired from my mission so I snuggled up next to him, wrapped my arm around him and drifted off into recharge.

(Soundwaves POV)
Knockout is hiding something, what it is I am not sure. I will continue to keep my optic on him, and Breakdown as well, something tells me he has a part in this as well. I will find out what they're hiding eventually. Secrets don't last long when I'm around.

LONGEST ONE YET! 😃
