Disclaimer- I do not own Transformers
My mother was always so happy to hold me in her arms, afraid that if she let go for a second then I would disappear. I was her little miracle, she would always say.
I was born on a rather peaceful night at the local hospital which is ironic given that my birth was anything but peaceful.
"What did you just say?" her voice was barely audible too exhausted to say much after the delivery.
"I don't understand," one grief stricken man had said. His head felt light, the room was starting to sway. Staggering a little bit he grasped onto the rail of the bed leaning on it for support.
From the doctor's eyes both parents looked dead right there. The light they had was now gone.
Clearing his throat he repeated the same words he had spoken not even a minute ago. "I'm terribly sorry but your daughter has little chances of surviving".
"Being born so early with such a weak immune system is just too much for her small body to overcome. I suggest spending as much time as you could with her by your side and make her comfortable as possible until it is time."
The husband thought back to all of the news reports about new advances in the medical field being able to save hundreds of lives. "Can't your medicines and machines do something?"
"We're trying but I don't think there is much we can do."
The mother somehow finding strength spoke with a much more demanding voice, "Where is she? I want to see her now" She rose to sit up in the bed, making a move to remove the sheets that were currently trapping her.
The doctor placed his hand on hers to get her to look his way. "You need to stay put and rest. You're in no good condition to be moving around right now. The nurses should be here soon with April," and on that note the view of a cart rolling in through the door caught their attention.
Bringing the cart next to the bed the two parents' hearts shattered even more.
There encased in her own little bubble was April, their precious baby girl. She was awfully tiny, the tiny pink hat the nurses put on her could've easily engulfed her whole head. Multiple tubes connected her to bags filled with medicine that hung off the pole attached to the bubble.
"What did we do to deserve such a cruel fate towards our family," they thought. "They lived their lives like any other person would have, so why?"
"Oh April," her mother said as she placed her hand on the outside of the bubble. Tears began streaming down her face. With this plastic in the way she couldn't even touch her baby.
Seeing the tears in his wife's eyes he leaned down to wrap her in a hug.
Feeling the warmth and comfort coming from his body she clung to him with heart-breaking sobs.
The food the nurse had brought sat cold on the tray, their appetites quelled by their sadness made it impossible to eat. Both parents were currently lying down in the hospital bed. The guy tried to comfort her with words of hope as they both looked on to see April lying in her crib.
By the time when most babies were able to be released April's condition had deteriorated to the point where death's door seemed only a minute away. Her body was growing thinner with each passing day and her beautiful chocolate brown eyes grew dull. Knowing that the treatments were failing the doctors allowed the parents to bring her home.
The employers of the couple after hearing the news allowed them to take as much time they needed to be with April, expressing their sympathy for the once happy couple who were just so excited not even a month ago.
The crib that was in her newly decorated room was put next to the couple's bed so they could keep a close eye on her.
It was on the 3rd night out of the hospital, that faint crying had instantly woken them out of their slumber. Rushing to April's side the mother picked her up to cradle against chest. Walking slowly with her husband they stepped out onto the balcony. Glancing up at the sky with tears streaming down their faces a streak of light flashed across the sky. A shooting star.
"I know this won't help but what else is there to do to keep my hopes from falling, croaked the man. "Every wish I made on a star as a kid, I want to take it back and replace it with one that will save my little April."
His wife uttered the same in agreement.
Unknown to them someone just so happened to hear their heartbreaking plea. The two were just about to head back in when a flash of light caught their eyes. It was strange a small ball of light floating right in front of them. The outline of a figure, robotic in shape began to form as it stepped closer to the family. Fearing as to what it was the father stepped in front of his family to act as a shield.
"Who… or for the matter… what are you?"
"No need to worry, I won't do you any harm. I'm the soul of the allspark, a source of energy for another group of beings. I've heard your cry and wish to full fill it." A string of light went from the figure and into April, who appeared to glow.
The parents looked at their baby girl with worrying glances. Their voices began to raise, "what did you do to her?"
"I simply gave her some of my energy. She'll be perfectly fine by tomorrow morning, although as she grows you'll begin to notice some un-human qualities, which will make her quite special. Love and cherish her for her future will be hectic, she is destined to save the beings of my world and your world from destruction."
"What's going to happen in the future?"
"As I mentioned earlier there are more than just humans in this universe. In time they will come to earth to search for me. There will be battles against good and evil, that will be challenging for your daughter but with the help of friends she'll pull through."
"Why are you here if these things are looking for you?"
"This is just a body of energy that allows me to move freely wherever I desire. My real form is confined to one place." At that last word the figure dissipated from view, leaving the couple to ponder at if this was real or not as they looked down to the sleeping baby.
Waking up the next morning, the two of them looked at each other with a questioning look. "You know I had the craziest dream last night with both you and April in it," said the mother. "Some weird figure had come after hearing our wish about April getting better."
"I was about to tell you the exact same thing, it mentioned how she was destined to save the world."
From the crib they heard a slight giggle.
It very strange since given April's ill state, never once had she giggled. Getting out of bed to look over her they were amazed to see that she looked healthier than ever before since her birth.
"So that dream was real."
