Sarah's POV

Sarah Lennox was at the window in her bedroom when a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Momma, when's Dadda coming home?" Sarah Lennox smiled down at her eldest daughter, Annabelle.

"Soon honey. Why don't you go check on Ashley?" Ashley was the latest addition to the Lennox household, barely a week old. Sarah's worrying that Annie might be jealous of the new baby had been pointless, Annie absolutely loved having a little sister.

"Okay Momma." Sarah Lennox watched her daughter toddle off into Ashley's room. She turned back to the window and stared out at the road. The sky was grey, and the rain and mist setting in made it hard to see, but still she searched the horizon for a black GMC Topkick. She checked the time, 4:35pm. Will had said he would be back by 5. It would be the first time she had seen her husband for 6 months and the first time Will had seen his new daughter. She sighed, since Will had become involved with the Autobots 4 years ago, she had seen her husband even less than before.

Sarah both minded and didn't mind. Annie had gained an amazing Uncle and she knew that Ironhide would protect Will with his life. Yet, in a way, she kind of blamed the Autobots for bringing the war to earth although she knew they had just been looking for the Allspark so their species could survive. Wouldn't she have done the same? But Annie and now Ashley too were growing up without a Father really. She sighed deeply, but then she saw a shadow on the horizon. Seeing as no one ever came to the ranch, Sarah knew instantly who it was.

"Annie! Dadda and Uncle 'Hide are home!" Sarah rushed into the room, luckily Ashley was awake so Sarah didn't need to worry about waking her daughter up. Annie didn't need to be told twice. She rushed downstairs to wait at the door, jumping up and down with a huge grin on her face.

"Hurry Momma!" Sarah picked up Ashley gently and carried her downstairs to the front door where Annie was waiting. She opened the door. The Topkick was closer, close enough for Sarah to see a dark smudge inside it despite the pouring rain. Sarah could also see two other cars behind the Topkick, but she didn't think much of it as other Autobots usually came with Will to see the ranch. Many were curious about humans and especially human children. Sarah didn't mind at all. The barn was big enough for them to stay in and Annie loved them. "Dadda! Dadda!"

The Topkick pulled into the driveway and Annie rushed out into the rain. Sarah would have followed, but she didn't want Ashley to catch a cold. The door opened and Will jumped out. "Dadda!" Annie flung herself at Will who laughed and pulled her into his arms.

"Hey honey, how's my little girl?"

"I'm a big girl Dadda! I'm learning how to write letters and I know how to take care of babies now!" Will chuckled, and an affectionate rumble came from the Topkick. Will ran over to Sarah, still holding Annie and kissed her. He then looked upon his youngest daughter for the first time.

"She's beautiful Sarah. We made some good looking kids" Sarah smiled and buried her face in his shoulder, content to enjoy his presence. There would be time for talking later. Will waved his fingers at Ashley.

"Hello, other offspring of mine!" Ashley made a noise and her large brown eyes looked up at Will curiously, before her face split into a smile.

"Gaaaaah!"

"She has your eyes Will." Sarah said.

"I've got Momma's eyes Dadda!" Annie piped up, causing them all to laugh.

"I know baby. They're beautiful eyes." Will said, affectionately ruffling Annie's hair.

"Don't I get a hello?" A gruff voice said.

"Uncle Hide!" Annie squealed. Will put Annie down and they watched as she ran over to Ironhide, who was now in his bipedal form. Ironhide chuckled and offered a hand to Annie. She hugged his fingers and he lifted her up to optic level. He brought his other hand up to cover her partially so she wouldn't be soaked by the rain.

"Why hello young one."

"Uncle Hide, I've got a baby!" Annie yelled excitedly.

"I don't think it's your baby little one."

"Is!" Annie insisted. Ironhide, Will and Sarah laughed at her. Ironhide felt his spark glow with happiness at seeing the human sparkling again. It had been too long for the old war veteran. He had missed the ranch and Annie. She snuggled into his fingers. "Missed you Hide," she mumbled into his fingers.

"And I you sparkling." Sarah noticed that the other two cars had transformed. One was silver and he was also the smallest Autobot that Sarah had ever seen. He wasn't even up to Ironhide's shoulders! The other was White with red and green accents. He was almost as tall as Ironhide, with a look of fascination on his face.

"Is that a human sparkling? Can I hold it?" The white one asked a little bit too excitedly for Sarah's liking.

"Yes Wheeljack, this is Annie, a human sparkling and that down there is Sarah, Will's wife or sparkmate and she is holding their other Sparkling, Ashley. As for holding, you'd better not be carrying anything explosive." Ironhide answered.

"Of course not!"

"Okay you can hold her but, if you drop her, I WILL get Ratchet to reformat you into a microwave." Ironhide threatened before passing Annie to Wheeljack. Annie giggled and waved up at him.

"Hi, I'm Annie! It's nice to meet you, what's your name?"

"Wheeljack, you are quite fascinating sparkling."

"Thank you!"

Sarah and Will watched the whole exchange will happiness. Sarah looked at the silver one. He didn't really seem to know what to do with himself, and Sarah found herself wondering about the large battle scar across his waist and about the faraway dreamy look behind his optics. Will looked at Sarah. "We'd better go in before the little ones get cold." Sarah nodded and Ironhide took Annie back and lowered her gently. Sarah looked up at the bots.

"You guys can come in if you want too."

"Please Hidey!" Annie begged.

"Alright then." Ironhide looked at the bots behind him and nodded to them. They transformed down to their alt modes, and Sarah was unsurprised when three holoforms materialised in front of her.

The smallest holoform had spiky black hair and was looked to be around twenty years old. He was dressed in a grey shirt with ripped blue jeans. As he was the smallest, Sarah assumed he was the silver robot whom she had yet to learn the name of. Ironhide was in his usual holoform, a strong, tall man with black hair dressed in a black shirt and black jeans. Ironhide's holoform looked around forty. The last holoform that Sarah assumed was Wheeljack was a scientist wearing a white labcoat with brown hair and red and green glasses.

"C'mon Hide!" Annie grabbed Ironhide's hand and led him inside the house, the other two holoforms following. Will took Ashley from Sarah and carried them inside. Sarah smiled to herself as she shut the door behind her. She was such a lucky woman to have such a good family.
