Jazz raced on over to the hospital, he had found out about Aella's and Nikkei's condition and hadn't wasted a moment more. He knew Ironhide and Ratchet we already at the hospital and wanted to offer his support as well. Optimus and Bumblebee on the other hand were trying to calm the other girls and would bring them along later.

Swerving through traffic and pedestrians Jazz made his way towards the hospital. Once there he parked and turned on his holoform. He wore his usual attire of a white hoodie and baggy black pants. His black hair was short and his blue eyes glowed brightly. He ran into emergency and found Ironhide and Ratchet's holoform's yelling at the receptionist.

"What do you mean we can see them?" Ratchet half shouted. "For crying out loud I'm a doctor!"

The receptionist looked up at him through her large glasses and asked, "Can I see your doctors ID?" well that shut up Ratchet and in an angry huff he went and sat down next to Nikkei's parents. They were holding hands tightly and looked quite grim.

Ironhide tried for a few minutes more and failed miserably, he too then went to sit down. Once Jazz was sure that Ironhide and Ratchet were able to control their tempers he went and sat next to them. Ironhide acknowledged his presence with an angry grunt and Ratchet was currently ripping up a 'Are You Pregnant?' pamphlet. Jazz unsure of what to say, said nothing but placed a hand on Ironhide's shoulder.

Ironhide looked up at him with hard eyes, he seemed to be angry with the whole world at the moment, Jazz gave him an encouraging nod and said:

"They'll be ok" he assured them. "There're strong girls, they'll make it" another grunt suggested that Ironhide had hear his comforting words. Ratchet on the other hand had moved on to ripping up another pamphlet this one reading 'Got A Fever?' slowly but surely the mass of shredded paper between Ratchet's legs grew larger and larger with each passing minute.

The minutes were long and the hours were longer, no one spoke. It almost seemed as if no one was breathing, this of course excluded the robots who of course do not breathe. But when the Nurse came in a said that the girls were ready for a visitor but only one the Autobots knew that the parents would want to go first but when they did not move the Bots looked at them in surprise.

Aella's dad smiled softly at Ironhide "Tell her we love her ok?" Ironhide blinked, it took him a moment to get what he meant but when he figured it out he shook his head.

"I couldn't sir, you have every right to-" he was cut of but Aella's mom

"Just shut up and go see her" she snapped, obviously distressed. Ironhide got up and followed the nurse.

The same sort of thing had happened with Ratchet and he too followed a different nurse towards Nikkei.

Ironhide found Aella lying down in bed, she looked like hell. There were dark circles under her eyes and she had a few stitches, her hand was heavily bandaged. Her breathing came in and out evenly. Her eyes were softly closed and she looked really pale.

Ironhide leaned over her and brushed back her long brown hair from her forehead, and placed a small kiss on her brow. "Aella?" he whispered, hoping for a response. It took a while but he got one. Aella's eyes fluttered and then they snapped open to see Ironhide. Relief filled her face and she smiled softly.

"Hey" she rasped.

Ironhide choked a bit but he too smiled back, his hand moved softly up and down her the side of her face avoiding any hurt places. "You had me worried" he told her sternly. "And your parents want you to know that they love you"

Aella nodded "tell them I love them too"

"Will do" Ironhide nodded. They were silent for a few moments content with the others presence.

"How is Nikkei?" Aella asked.

"She'll be ok" Ironhide said.

"And the others?"

"They are ok too" Ironhide told her.

"Good…" Aella said and her eyes closed; she was asleep. Ironhide sighed and sat down, he had grabbed her good and he too closed his eyes and leaned his head forward to rest on her leg.

He listened to her breathing for a moment and squeezed her hand "thank God you're safe" he muttered.

Ratchet opened the door to see Nikkei sitting up looking quite beat up. She had a silly little smile on her face and was laughing at something on the TV. When she saw Ratchet her eyes softened and she gave him a small smile.

"Hello" she said. Ratchet wasted no time with words but rather he ran and placed a kiss on her lips. Nikkei was naturally surprised and she winced when he pulled back.

"Sorry" he muttered, he had noticed her wince.

Nikkei shrugged "s'ok" she said.
"How are you feeling?" Ratchet took her face in his hands and held it up so that he could look at her. "Your stitches are healing well, and you don't seem to have too much of a concussion."

Nikkei waved her hand in the air "I dunno why they called me a critical patient, I mean I understand Aella but me!?"

Ratchet sighed "just as long as you are fine"

"Just give me a few days to recover and I'll be fine" Nikkei lifted her hands and gave Ratchet a big hug, "I'll be ok as long as you are there" she whispered, some what embarrassed at herself.

She felt Ratchet laugh quietly "honey…" he drew back from their hug "you're stuck with me."

Jazz was feeling bored, he had taken over Ratchet's half ripped up pamphlet and was shredding it. He was reaching for another when a woman rushed past him and tripped over his feet.

"Oh" was the last thing Jazz heard from the woman before she hit the ground. Using his super Autobot reflexes he stood up and reached the woman in record time.

"You ok?" he asked. The woman looked up at him and he was surprised with big brown eyes that shone brightly.

"Yeah" she brushed her black hair away from her face in the same motion smudging her make up which was her eye shadow, a light shade of green that complemented her skin tone. Jazz helped her up and watched as she brushed the dust off her clothes. She wore a t-shirt with some band on it and baggy jeans. "This is the second time today" she muttered to no one in particular.

Jazz being the curious type decided to question her on that comment "Second time?" he asked.

"Second time I've tripped" she clarified "I'm always tripping over things" she rolled her eyes heaven ward. "Well thank you!" she gave him a big smile and walked over to the receptionist who was fighting with a small child on the weight scale.

Jazz continued to watch her as she leaned over the counter and poked the nurse in the shoulder, "Excuse me?" the woman said politely.

"What?" the nurse snapped, it was apparent she was a little pissed off. Needless to say it was the child's fault.

Well the woman who had tripped over Jazz didn't seem phased by the nurse's curtness but rather she seemed amused by it. "Can you tell me where Jay Hill is?"

The nurse seemed to recognize the name and said "He's in the operating room, he wont be out for another half hour" the nurse then resumed fighting for the child's co-operation in staying still.

The woman didn't seem in the least bit down that the person she was looking for wasn't available, but rather she skipped to the seat next to Jazz and plopped herself down. She watched Jazz rip up a pamphlet for a few moments and then she too grabbed one and began to do the same thing. Jazz continued his shredding but looked up at the woman. She gave him a big smile and he raised an eyebrow.

"And you are…?" he queried.

"Oh! My name is Rowan Hill" she held out her hand, Jazz stopped destroying the pamphlet long enough to shake her hand. She had a nice strong firm handshake. Jazz resumed the destruction of the pamphlet.

"So…" he said "a relative of yours is in the operating room?"

"Yup" she chirped.

"Aen't you worried?" Jazz asked, her reaction was all wrong.

"Nah, he always does a good job!" she laughed.

"Huh?" Jazz looked up at her. Rowan was ripping through pamphlets at record speed and the pile was larger than his and Ironhide's put together. Jazz could almost hear the janitor screaming.

"My Brother is a surgeon here" Rowan said with a smile.

"Oh I see" Jazz said happy his confusion was over. The rest of the time was spent chatting about Rowans family and about Jazz's made up family. Jazz couldn't help but notice how easy it was to talk to this girl and how natural it seemed to be talking to her. After almost half an hour he felt like they had been friends for a very long time.

"Rowan!" a voice entered their conversation. Both bot and human looked up to see a man with dark hair cut into a short spiky style walk towards Rowan.

Rowan waved to him and turned to Jazz "Well Jazz" she hadn't laughed when he had told her his name "maybe I can see you next time" she sounded hopeful.

Jazz tilted his head and nodded "Maybe, I got some friend in here so yeah I'll be back"

"Tomorrow?" Rowan asked, she was sounding a bit hopeful.

"Maybe" was all that Jazz allowed. She smiled and gave Jazz another big smile.

"Then maybe I will see you tomorrow" she giggled and went off towards her brother. Jazz was once again left alone, but not for long.

Ratchet and Ironhide had been kicked out of the girls rooms and sent back out, they did seem angry about it but it looked as if each one had a big load taken off their shoulders. Jazz greeted them silently and the tree Autobots headed back home.
