(TFP Starcee) Unexpected Turn of Events

❄️A Spark That Is Cold As A Wet Christmas❄️

A few hours had passed and Starscream offered to get the doc and himself a small energon cube to drink and ratchet said yes and so Starscream went to the storage room to the drinks. As he walked through the halls he thought back to the time when he always get lost and had to get help from Arcee to find their berthroom or any other room, but now he knows the whole entire base layout like the back of his servo. He walked up to the door and type in the password, the door slide open and he walked into a brightly lit room that was filled with a small portion of energon. The energon pickings have been slim and it was getting harder to find a cave that hasn't been cleaned out by the cons.
He then walked over to what looked like a water filter and he grabbed two empty square cups and filled up at a time with the blue liquid and was about to leave until he ran right into wheeljack, nearly spilling the drinks as he stood back to regain his footing.
"Whoa hey there wheeljack, is everything ok?" The silver mech asked, wheeljack stood there quietly while leaning against the door way then took a step forward.
"Do you truly think you can fool me with the goody two shoe act"
"W-what?" Starscream was stunned, "I-I'm not--"
"Cut the scrap screamer, a decepticon like you could never be this polite and cheerful" with every insult said the wrecker stepped closer to the shocked seeker and he backed up against the neatly stacked energon cubes. "And how do we not know that your still working with the cons, taking in all of our secrets and planing on taking Arcee's sparklings for bargening points with Megatron" Wheeljack said in a voice that really pissed off Starscream now.
"How dare you bring in my mate and kids into this, are you trying to piss me off to make you look the victim here and me the monster" Starscream growled deeply with a hiss in his tone and dropped the cubes to the floor with a crash as he too stepped closer to the very, Very rude mech.
"Why did you kill cliffjumper in the first?" Wheeljack asked brutally "just so you can replace him and then betray us to your old master after to gain your pride back"
"I killed him because I thought it would've been nice welcome home present for Megatron and all I got in return was a kick, slap and punch to the face three times a day for it" Starscream flexed his claws out but then he balled them it fists, wheeljack wanted him to snap but he wouldn't give it to him. He was going to prove that he has changed, even to this afthole who started this fight in the first place. "Ever sense then I have regretted it and I'm making it Arcee, for millenias now I have been nothing but a selfish greedy bastard. But now I'm doing everything for her to be happy and to raise my children the right way to survive in this world" he sighed and lowered his helm a little as he was getting sick of repeating himself constantly to those who doubt greatly. He then heard Wheeljack scoff at him smugly and Starscream stared back up at him with a glare.
"How pathetic" Wheeljack smirked and stood back a little, Starscream then noticed something unusual in the blue hue lights behind him, in the centre of wheeljack's helm and saw a coin like thing there, he remembered bulkhead showing him a picture of wheeljack a long time ago and that thing wasn't there before.
But before he could invest in it more wheeljack said something that he will never forget or forgive.
"You know I can't wait until you make a huge mistake and disappoint everyone, especially Arcee. She will be reminded of your selfish and sparkless past and I...." He paused and smiled wickedly with his last words rolling off his glossa so lustfully "I will be there to love her like how you never did in the first place. You back stabbing murderer" for a split nanoklick wheeljack's optics turned from blue to crimson blood red then back to normal, but Starscream's processor was filled with white blinding rage and with one swift movement the ex-con sliced his razor sharp claws across wheeljack's chassis. Bright cyan blue liquid sprayed across the wall as the seeker broke his own promise to himself to never hurt another again, unless it was a brainless droid.

The sound of metal being shredded pierced the hallways and Optimus was the first one to hear it and he spun around and shouted to ratchet who was still waiting on his refreshment in the med bay.
"Ratchet follow me there's something wrong!" He then ran into the hallways with ratchet behind him, the rest of the team were very confused and followed after them. Arcee tried to join them but bee stopped her by stepping on the wheelchairs clamp and Arcee jolted to a stop.
":stay here!:" bee demanded and gave chase with the others, the kids stayed behind too by bulkhead's orders, Miko complained of course but did as told.
"Hey no fair bee--ahh!" She yelped in pain and clenched her chest tightly while hunching over in her chair, this familiar feeling struck straight through her frame but this time there was something different, she felt burning rage coursing inside her spark and if the flames crackled any longer her sparks's chamber will melt.
"Arcee what's wrong?!" Jack asked as he sped down the stairs to his guardian with Miko and Rafael.
"Are you going into labour already!?!" Miko shouted, her face filled with shock and excitement, she wanted to see the birthing herself when the time comes. Arcee glared down at the young girl with optics filled with anger.
"No I'm not Miko, now shut up-ahhh!"The femme growled as she felt more pain flow through her body, Arcee swallowed the pain for the third time and slowly struggled to get up, even though her body refused her processor's demand. All the humans, especially Miko who nearly broke out into tears were shocked by her out burst and stood there watching Arcee wobble her way over to the hallway, more pain kept on punching and stabbing deeply inside her spark but she just kept on walking to the hallway. 'I have to see what is going on!' She thought to herself with stubborn determination.

Meanwhile Optimus lead the way to the source of the sound and saw Starscream and Wheeljack fighting in the hallway, Starscream was pinned to the floor with wheeljack on top with his swords up against his enemy's throat. Starscream felt energon seep out of the deep cuts the blades were penetrating in his throat, and then he slammed his right fist into wheeljack's helm, knocking him off easily and scrambled to get back up, he breathed heavily with his servos clasped around his bleeding wound, it was becoming hard to breathe with more blood climbing up his throat from his internal systems being damaged from Wheeljack's attacks before hand. This greatly remained him of when Wheeljack killed most of army and makesift died from exploding. Starscream then saw Optimus and the others on the other side of the hall and he tried to walk over to them but nearly fell over from his previous wounds being re-opened again from his encounter with the predacon.
"Prime please stop h--guhhh!" Starscream was interrupted by Wheeljack kicking in the mid section, sending the seeker flying arcoss the hallway then crashed into a wall.
"Jacky what are you doing?!" Bulkhead shouted and ran over to his friend to stop him, Wheeljack turned around to reveal the scratches on his chest plating, bulkhead optics widen at the sight and looked back at Starscream who was slowly getting up. "Starscream why did you hurt Wheeljack?!" He demanded.
Starscream coughed and tried to talk but his vocal cords were badly damaged. Ratchet was about ran over to help him up but Wheeljack stopped and walked slowly over to Starscream with his blades at the ready.
"Wheeljack I order you to stop this now, there is no need to harm Starscream!" Optimus charged out in front of the wrecker, clearly trying to protect his fallen comrade.
"Optimus look at what the did to me, he just attacked me out of nowhere. How can you protect a dangerous con?!"Wheeljack protested and looked back at everyone else for support but they stayed silent. "Who knows what else he may do to us, to Arcee?!"
"That's enough Wheeljack!" Optimus glared daggers at the wrecker until Wheeljack threw down his weapons and turned and left the scene with a huff. After a full minute had passed with confusion Optimus turned back around and went over to help Starscream. The winged bot groaned and felt both his leader and ratchet carefully carry him to the med-bay. The other autobots led the way and bulkhead rushed off first to find wheeljack to see if he was ok. 

On the way out of the hallway Wheeljack saw Arcee clinging to the wall, her whole body ached from using the wheelchair everyday now and not getting enough exercise to stretch. He quickly ran over to help her stand up properly, once she caught sight of him she gasped loudly, she could recognise the scratch marks his chest and knew that is was from Starscream, her processor was cloudy by endless questions that she didn't realise that wheeljack's face was only inches away from her's.
"Hey I said are you ok?" He asked calmly, he held her right over his shoulders while the other wrapped around her waist, he tried guide her back to the main room but she stopped him by pulling herself away from him and slumped back against the wall again.
"What are you doing! What happened to Starscream and what did he-mph!" He shushed her by putting right index digit to her soft lips, a look of dread and softness was painted on his features and he looked down to her belly then back up at her and he said in a soft tone.
"If I were you I'd find a new mate by now 'cause Starscream, he's never going to change, he killed your partner and countless others and now he's only using you to fix his broken ego after he left the decepticons" he then leaned in more to whisper in her audio, a shiver ran up her spinal strut as she stayed quiet. "I'm always here if need someone to intimately love ya, trust me I have a much bigger ego than he does and I can provide with everything you want, but for now I must leave to regain my strength, but don't worry I'll be back" with that he took his ship and left the base to lands unknown.

Ever since that odd day Arcee couldn't stop shaking from wheeljack's words repeating inside her helm, just something them and Starscream's scratch marks on his chassis made her deeply worried about what really happened and when Starscream comes back out of recovery she was going to ask him. But she didn't allow herself to stray to far into the past of Starscream's mistakes just in case it came back to haunt her for the remainder of her pregnancy, her unstableness mind could deal with this stress right now.
