#ratchlockrod

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 hot rod giving birth alone because he ran away but the sparkling is stuck and now he’s bleeding and on the brink of death but Deadlock and Ratchet find him in time.

He screamed in pain as he pushed. Blood soaked the ground as he sobbed. Looking around at the desolate land around him his whole body shook with pain and fear.

He'd ran away from the Autobots shortly after finding out he was sparked. He knew they wouldn't want his little one and that if anyone find out they'd be killed.

He didn't want them to suffer through this horrible war that seemed to have no end in sight.

He gasped feeling more blood as he continued desperately trying to push. He knew something was wrong but he kept pushing.

He was loosing so much blood. His body felt weak and his spark slowed.

He laid against a large rock staring at the sky. He thought about Deadlock and Ratchet. Who he'd left behind after finding out he was sparked. They'd probably moved on by now.

He felt a tear fall. He'd loved him so much. Even though he knew they didn't feel the same way. He left because he knew they wouldn't want the sparkling and he couldn't ruin their lives. He's already ruined so many peoples lives. Maybe he deserves this.

He should have been more careful. He should have known his baffle would fail. He had no one to blame but himself.

He gave another weak push crying out in pain. He could feel his body fading and he knew it wouldn't be much longer. He just wished he could hold his sparkling in his arms.

Looking down he suddenly had an idea. He wasn't going to survive but his sparkling might.

He reached into his subspace and pulled out a knife. Crying out as he cut himself open. It hurt a lot and more blood squirted to the ground. His hands trembled and black spots entered his vision. He kept going though cutting his sparkling out of him.

He could feel his sparkling cry. Covered in his carriers blood he kissed his little one pressing him against his chest. He should still have some energon left in his chests.

Opening them up he let his sparkling drink. He felt his spark start to give out as his body greyed. He was too weak to speak. He just stared at his sparkling. Trying to hold on for as long as possible.

He didn't hear engines coming over or the sound of sirens. He didn't hear Deadlock or Ratchets voice as he clung to his sparkling. The last thing he saw before passing out.

He didn't think he'd ever wake up. Only to be surprised when he opened his optics and found himself in an unfamiliar room. His sparkling pressed against his chest sleeping peacefully. He cooed too weak to do much else. He was exhausted and thought about falling asleep again. Except he didn't know where he was and didn't want to leave his sparkling alone with strangers.

The door opened and he looked over gasping in surprise.

Hot rod with a very heavy sparkling in his belly that turns out to be two at emergence.

Ratchlockrod where Deadlock hunts Hot rod down with Ratchet and find him in hiding.

He’s got a big sparkling bump for it to be the early stages and it just gets heavier.

They agree he should stay in hiding since the war is still raging but they definitely are pissed and possessive when he just up and left without so much as a word to either of them.

They are definitely surprised when they see him leave his home sporting a tank and confront him when he returns home at night from working.

They have him stop working because he should be resting but he protests saying he does need to make a living and they inform him they’ll be staying and they weren’t asking.

He'd been feeling sick for a while but had been trying to ignore it. Scared of what it could be.

When he almost fainted at work. He decided to take a test. Looking at the two pink lines he gasped and almost passed out again.

Feeling overwhelmed he sat on the floor and stared in horror.

He didn't know what he was going to do but he couldn't stay there. He knew what would happen to him if they found out he could carry. Forcing himself up he frantically packed and took off in the dead of night. His body trembled as he put a hand on his belly. If he's caught there both dead.

For a moment he pauses and thinks about Ratchet and Deadlock and if he should tell them. It was there sparkling after all, but he knew they wouldn't want it. They both had busy careers in their factions and he was only stress relief. They would find someone knew in no time and he would be forgotten.

Going to the next town over he spent all his savings on a ticket out of there. Not wanting to stick around when the war was getting worse every day.

He ended up landing on an unfamiliar planet and had to work hard in order to survive.

He spent his days either working or at home being sick while his belly grew. It was huge which made him nervous thinking about the big sparkling he was going to have.

Occasionally while he lost himself in work. He would think about Ratchet and Drift. They probably moved on forgetting all about him and found someone new to hook up with.

Which is why he was surprised when after coming home from a long tiring work day. He found both of them sitting in his house waiting for him.

He'd screamed in fright. His body unable to take the stress caused him to pass out. When he awoke he found himself laying in bed. Confused he looked around wondering what happened. He found Ratchet scanning him and Deadlock laying next to him.

"Why are you here?"

He gave them both a confused look. Feeling nervous having them so close. Especially when it was obvious he was carrying.

"We should be the ones asking you questions. Like why you left?"

"I didn't think you'd care."

Deadlock wrapped a protective arm around him. His engine rumbling angrily. He gave them both a confused look wondering if he was dreaming because there was no way they cared enough to track him down.

"Kid of course we care about you."

He shook his head in disbelief.

"Why are you here? Did you somehow learn about the sparkling?"

He put a protective hand on his belly. His spark spun rapidly and Deadlock tried to put a comforting hand on his chest. Which only made him freak out more. He began to panic almost crying as he begged them not to hurt his sparkling. Ignoring them both when they tried to reassure him they didn't come here to hurt him.

When he wouldn't calm down and was starting to make himself sick. Ratchet gave him medicine to calm his spark down.

"We didn't know about the sparkling. I promise Roddy."

Deadlock took one of his hands pressing it against his face while giving him a worried look. Ratchet who'd begun scanning him again shook his head.

"That was a surprise we weren't expecting."

"Is that why you ran?"

Deadlock glared clearly unhappy with his decision.

"You're both busy with your respective factions. It's not fair that I get in your way over my mistake."

"Last time I checked kid. It takes more than one to make a sparkling."

Deadlock nodded. Still looking unhappy that he'd left them.

"We'd never abandon you and we're not going to start now."

"What?"

He gave them both a confused look not understanding what they were talking about. They found him and learned that he was sparked. Now they can go back and forget this ever happened.

He must have said that last part out loud because they both gave him an angry look. Their engines revving loudly at the idea.

"No we're not leaving you."

"We already thought we lost you once. Now that we've found you we aren't going to lose you again."

Deadlock and Ratchet seemed to share a look between them and then he had them on either side, wrapping their arms around him.

"We will take care of you and our sparkling."

"Which means we don't want you working anymore."

He gave them both an indignant look trying to sit up and struggling with his belly.

"You know I have to work to survive, right?"

"Roddy you know we're both rich, right?"

He stared between them and blushed.

"I'm not going to be some sugar baby or whatever. I'm going to continue working."

"No it's bad for the sparkling."

He froze putting a hand on his belly. Looking at Ratchet who pulled him closer.

"The bitty is alright but you shouldn't be working anymore. Let us take care of you."

He nodded tears in his optics which he tried to hide. Feeling like he'd been failing his sparkling.

"It's going to be okay. We're here now."

"You don't have to do this all by yourself."

The three cuddled together continuing to talk when he remembered something important.

"What about the war! I can't go back. You know what will happen to me. I won't let my sparkling get caught in the crossfire?"

"You don't have to worry about the war. We're not putting either of you in danger. Which is why you are staying here."

"I don't understand. You're both staying but the wars on Cybertron not here."

He looked between the two of them when he suddenly realized.

"No. No you can't. This is exactly what I didn't want. You both have careers that you're throwing away for me of all people."

"We love you Roddy."

Ratchet nodded as Deadlock pulled him somehow closer.

"You're more important than our careers and I hate that you don't see that. You are so special and we love you both."

"We want you."

They both snuggled closer and he felt tears fall as he cuddled against them as well. This was more than he'd ever imagined.

Cuddling together. He quickly fell asleep while surrounded by their warmth and love.
