Hello! I know I should be working on "Bring Me to Life", but ... damn writer's block!

This fanfic was inspired by a one-shot called "Orphan" of Mrs Bumblebee. I advise everyone to read, it is short but sweet.

Transformers does not belongs to me... sadly. :(

"Blah, Blah, Blah"-Normal Speech

"Blah, Blah, Blah" -Thoughts

[Blah, Blah, Blah] -Bumblebee's speech

It was raining in Jasper. It was not a very heavy rain, but gave the impression that the sky was crying.

And it seemed to be appropriate for that black day.

At the cemetery, three families were being buried. The first was a young nurse, a single mother, kind and dedicated.

Her only son, Jack Darby, observed the grave of his mother without moving or making a sound.

Nearby, a crowd was in front of the tombs of an entire family. The only member who was alive, the young Rafael Esquivel, was inside a Camaro, being comforted by a boy around 16 years, blond with black streaks, wearing a yellow sweatshirt with black stripes and black jeans.

The third grave was a couple. But his host daughter, had been unable to attend. At the time, she was in Japan, saying goodbye to her biological family.

Back to the cemetery in Jasper, in the parking lot, three aliens disguised as cars, better known as Autobots, watched in silence.

Optimus Prime materialized his holoform, a man around 35 or 40 years, brown hair, bright blue eyes, wearing a red jacket over a black shirt and jeans. Gently, he approached Jack. "Jack, come on, let's go back to base." He said nothing, but followed Optimus obediently.

On the way to the base, Jack had fallen asleep. With the help of his holoform, Optimus placed him carefully on the couch. Did not take much long to Bumblebee come, with Raf in the same condition. And just as Optimus, he put his young partner on the couch.

And, the ground bridge was activated, and two other autobots came: Bulkhead and Wheeljack. In Bulkhead's bank, his human partner, Miko Nakadai, was also sleeping. Activating his holoform, a black man, muscular, around the thirties, wearing a green shirt with the sleeves rolled up at the elbows. And like others, he put her in the corner of the couch, so she not bother the two boys.

Now that the three children were back, the autobots watched them silently and remembered when and how everything had collapsed.

MECH. They were the responsible for everything.

It was a normal day when the children were at the base. The Decepticons were calm and everyone was just trying to enjoy that weekend. It was when Agent Fowler called. And it was all over.
Probably they decided to take revenge when Jack, Miko and Raf fumbled in getting the DINGUS, and when Jack avoided they to tried to dissect Arcee.

The Autobots try to act fast, even called Wheeljack to help. But it was too late. They do not even spared Miko's family in Japan. In the absence of better words, they did the service complete.

The bell rang, warning that Agent Fowler was at the top. Ratchet hung fast to not wake the children.

"Prime." Solemnly welcomed. Optimus just nodded in acknowledgment. "We managed to arrest some of the MECH members. Not many, but it's something." He said. He knew that nothing would bring the children's family back, but thought he should tell the news anyway.

"Agent Fowler... I have a question." Optimus said.

"What is it?"

"What will happen to the children now?"

Everyone was paying attention now. It was something all want to ask but did not know how. Fowler sighed, "They... will be sent to an orphanage. Poor kids. Since they are older, the chance of being adopted are slim to none. Then they will have to live there until they turn 18." He answered with regret. The autobots were silent again.

But Optimus had something in mind. "Agent Fowler... I was thinking... What if we adopt them?"

Everyone looked at Optimus in shock. Was he serious? "Prime, I think I heard wrong, you just said that you want to adopt the children?" Fowler asked in shock.

"I did. It is possible?"

"Well, I would have to talk to my superiors and you would have to sign a lot of papers, but... are you sure, Prime? I mean, do you have any idea how to raise a child?"

"I've created Bumblebee when he was younger, so I have an idea about how to care for Young ones. And you have to remember, Agent Fowler, that Jack, Miko and Rafael are not defenseless children. They are strong and independent; all they need now is a family."

Fowler wondered silently. Optimus had a point. His expression was more hopeful. "I'll see what I can do. But not put much hope, to not be disappointed if it doesn't work."

When he left, the place was again silent, only the bots staring at Optimus. "I'm sorry my friends, to have thought of it without consulting you. I just could not wait."

"Hey! No one is judging you, Optimus!" Wheeljack seize this moment to talk "Of all the ideas you've had, that's the one it pleased me most."

"I agree with Jackie!" Bulkhead also said, at his side, Bumblebee whistled excited and Arcee gave a big smile in response. "Something tells me I have no choice in the matter." Ratchet sighed, but without the grumpy tone as always.

[Will we tell them?] Bumblebee asked, pointing to the three.

"Not yet. Only when we receive the agreement for adoption." Optimus decided and everyone agreed.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next morning, the rain clouds were gone. It was a beautiful sunny day now.

Not that it made much difference to the humans in the base now. They were silent. The only time they spoke, was to deny when Ratchet asked if they wanted to eat something.

Then the alarms of the base began to sound. It was agent Fowler, who seemed very excited. "Good news, Optimus! I talked to my superiors and they gave "Ok" to your request!"

Bumblebee let out a loud cry of joy, which call the attention of the teens. "What's going on?" Asked Miko.

"Jack, Miko, Rafael, could you come over here? There's something I'd like to talk to you." Optimus asked. They obeyed, going up to the platform, coming face-to-face with bots.

"Little ones, we feel sorry for your families. We know we could have done more to have prevented..."

"Hey! Do not start blaming yourself! None of you!" Jack shouted interrupting Optimus.

"The culprit of all this is that sick bastard of Silas!" Miko added.

"You tried to help us. That's what matters." Raf ended.

When they heard this, the autobots could not help but feeling relief. They feared that their partners would blamed then for the death of his relatives. "Thank you, my young friends, but still, we feel responsible for what happened. Unfortunately, we will never be able to change the past, but at least we can give you a future. Yesterday... we request Agent Fowler, to adopt you three."

The three widened their eyes. "Y-you have a-adopted us?" Raf stammered.

"Yes, we do." Optimus confirmed. He and the other autobots waited nervously, the reactions of the teenagers.

A silence cross the base. Agent Fowler would not even breathe.

"YES!" Miko shouted, jumping, startling everyone. "THE BOTS ARE OUR NEW FAMILY! THIS IS SO COOL!"

Bumblebee began to worry when he saw that Raf was crying; [Raf? Why are you crying? Aren't you happy…?]

"It's exactly because of this, I'm crying, Bee. I'm very, very happy!" He sobbed, smiling.

"I… I do not know what to say... this is serious?" Jack asked, not contain the smile on his face.

"Yes, Jack is." Arcee replied smiling back.

"I... I do not know what to say... this is so... WOW!" He said, trying to hold back the tears, but not having success.

"CAHAM!" Fowler coughed "I do not want to interrupt, but I need you three and you, Optimus, to sign these papers."

Optimus activated his holoform, took the pen Fowler offered and signed in cybertronians hieroglyphics. The three children also signed, still crying a little, but very happy.

They were no longer alone. They would still have a family. They would have a place to call "home."

At the conclusion of signing the papers, the three ran to their partners and embraced then, the best they could.

Things were smiling at all. And everyone believed it just could get better.
