Bumblebee and his guardian chapter four

A/N: I m going to move ahead in time a little bit, but there will be a forward note that will include what s been going on with our little Bee. He sure has been living up to his name- busy as a Bee! Now the reason for the jump is to move along in the story; this will be something I ll do from time to time but will always include missed details of the time jumped over.

Disclaimers are the same as before, therefore I do not own the transformers, Hasbro does but I have created some names.
P.S. I looked over the hits for last month and discovered that this one had the most, however I will be updating some of my other stories too soon. Sorry for the delay in updates, but hard times have meant that I had to can the internet at home in order to cut some corners to make the ends closer to each other! So I will have the weekends at another location that I will be able to work on my stories so I can post them as I update. It took me a couple days to out smart this computer and change the format so it will upload, so now almost a week later here we are, so sorry for the delay in posting this chapter.
The forward will be first and then the story right after that , enjoy!

~ Forward~

It s been about six months now and Bumblebee has settled down into a fair nice routine. He s now crawling around and getting into anything he can reach; which happened to be a couple of weeks ago daddy s music disk collections that were stored inside the TV console. Don t ask how he figured out how to push on the door and get it to open, but he did and he proceeded to fling every disk all over the living room while clicking and laughing with joy. He has been with his paw- paw as he calls his grandfather everyday while Orion and Ariel have become more occupied with their positions. Sentinel had been reading to him stories and showing him old pictures of when his dad and Uncle were younger. Sentinel lately has begun teaching him how to form letters, although Bumblebees so far have been scribbles. Chandra, Chromia and Ironhides little girl has learned to write her name really well by now and both her and her brother Chance are walking and talking now too. They will be going to grade school when they turn two years old which is about a year from now. Bumblebee has a scooter now and he gets to ride it down to the park which is at the end of their street on the weekends with his friends, of course with parents in tow. He too has begun to mumble some words although clearly can now say momma and daddy. It was about two months ago, around about the time he just turned four months and Ariel was off duty that day; anyways he wanted his juice bottle while watching TV while mom cleans house. So he crawled into the kitchen and pulled himself up by the door handle and then he started to tug on the refrigerator door as best as he could but could not open it, it was locked! He suddenly hollered out momma in a very disgusted tone which in turn had Ariel coming in from the laundry room in a hurry and totally surprised.

Orion and Ariel both couldn t be any happier though, yesterday Ariel was talking with Chromia about wanting another sparkling for Bee to have a sibling to grow up with, but Orion she said, looked at her with that surprised look. They have become even closer in their friendship as their sparklings have grown up together and usually either couple are at the others house several times a week.

Megatron and Orion have been at odds lately with each other, but that s only because Megatron at times is so frustrated with his troops and the growing problems within the work force at the factories that he often now can be found down in the pits of Kacon involved several wrestling matches to resolve some of that pinned up anger. And now Orion has been spending time dealing with those issues before the council in his brothers stead. That has meant more time away from Bee and Ariel than he would like to be, but the weekends belong to him, along with his sparkmate and son.
End of forward It s Friday afternoon and both Orion and Ariel have been waiting for this weekend for two months. Ariel has a surprise and Orion does too, first Ariel she doesn t know that they both will be off for the next four days. She s in a meeting with her staff discussing a project that is set to start next week; Orion is in his office finishing up reading some research work that came from the satellite that was launched the second week of Bumblebee s life. In it they had discovered another solar system some forty seven lite years away begin created. Orion had been interested in science and space since he was old enough to get around in his grandfather s lab; Alfa-Trion had been the every loving grandfather to him as Sentinel now is with Bee. Speaking of Bee he is at his paw-paw s house and loving it. Sentinel has kept his place just outside of Iacon, about ten minutes from Orions and Ariels place. It once belonged to his father and is where his mechs grew up. It is there where Bumblebee can ride his scooter in the field outback just as his dad did all those eons ago.
An hour later and the clock on the wall say s five o clock, time to go and pick up Bee and go home; Ariel would be on her way shortly after the meeting ends at five thirty.
Orion drives up and transformers and as he does he hears his old scooter out back which brings a smile to his face. My son, he s having as much fun on that old scooter as I did when I was a sparkling! I couldn t wait for school to let out so that I could race home and beat Megs to it. Orion said to himself as he walked around the side of the complex, punched in a code to the gate and walk through to see he s father watching Bee race the scooter around. When he turns three I fear he is going to miss riding that old scooter much as I did, Orion said as he walked up. Sentinel turned around then and smiled proudly at his son; Yes, I do believe he will but then it will be your turn to worry about his racing habits! Orion gasped opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water; to which Sentinel busted out laughing at him.
I was not that bad and neither will be Bee, I will talk with him the same as you had with me. Orion said rather matter of fact with his arms crossed over his chest. Just then Bee drove up to him calling out to him, daddy, daddy!

Hey my little mech, ready to go home Orion asked as he scooped him up off the scooter and turned the switch to off, it was smaller than he remember it, but Bee now stands four feet tall just barely big enough to safely ride it even though it only goes two miles per hour.
Bee shakes his head side to side then turns around in his dad s arms and points to the scooter; I think you have rode it all day today haven t you? Orion asked Bee who started to click a couple times and make a depressed chirping sound, but Orion just cocked his head sideways and Bee started to whimper a little because he knew dad was right.
Hey there little one, it will be there ready for you when you come back Monday morning and we ll go to the park with Chance and Chandra too, how bout it? Sentinel said.
Bee got quiet and bowed his head; it was his way of thinking. Click, click. Kay he said, but started to squirm out of daddy s arms. You want to say bye to Paw-paw now and then go get your back pack Bee. Orion said and he let Bee down on to the ground, Bee slowly but surely wobbled as he walked towards his paw. Come here, Sentinel said as he leaned over to pick him up into his waiting arms.
Come on let s go get you bag and get you in your travel seat with daddy and I ll be there earlier Monday morning okay. Sentinel said as he hugged Bee as he walked on back into the house.
My you are growing faster each week it seems, he walked off saying as he carrying Bee inside.

Orion transformed and sat waiting for Bee to come out with Sentinel and get safely strapped in for the ride home. Here we are, we had to make a pit stop and get more juice to go. Sentinel said as he carried Bee out to where Orion sat idling; Bee got in his seat and strapped in and started to wave bye to Paw-paw. Bye-bye, see you next week and be good now, Sentinel said as he leaned over and gave Bee a kiss on the chick then closed the door. You all have fun this weekend, I m glad you re taking Bee out to the wetlands; he ll love it as much as you mechs did about this time of the year. Sentinel said as he faced Orion.
I sure hope so, he doesn t like the water as much as my brother and I did at his age though, Orion said back.
No, he doesn t like baths to much but the water park he will; especially when he sees you act like a youngling all over again, send pictures okay. Sentinel said, Yes, of course I will because it will be Ariel taking them; me is going to have too much fun for a change and maybe the last for a while sadly. Orion said and with that Sentinel waved by one last time as Orion started on back home.
Orion arrived home to find Ariel waiting outside looking rather happy but exhausted. Orion pulled up and Ariel could see Bee looking out the window waving his little hand so excitedly, Hey there my little mech, she said as she opened the door and began to unstrapped him from the travel seat. Bee reached up and hugged his momma repeatedly saying momma and as she unlatched the last belt he jumped into her arms as she held him cuddling him close to her chest. Momma miss you today, did you have fun at Paw-paw s? She asked and he shook his head up and down happily; Orion transformed and followed them inside.
He sure did, uh did you know dad got that old scooter working and he was riding it all day. Orion said as he followed close behind her.
The electric one you had as a sparkling? She said as she took Bee to the kitchen for a snack.
Yeah, I go there and he was going round and round on it, just watching him made me dizzy. To that Bee laughed and made several clicks while pointing at his dad.
Ha, ha. Alright you time for you snack up you get, Ariel said as she lift him up into his high chair, but Bee started to click fast and pointed to the ground. What s a matter? She asked him knowing he was trying to tell her something.
Bee you have to go to the little mechs room? she asked as she picked him back up and started for the restroom, let s go okay. Ariel went on to the bathroom while the phone rang, hello. Orion said as he pushed the answer button on the wall by the kitchen.
You weren t going out of town without me were you? It was Ironhide on the line.
No, of course not; I was going to call you about the shift change for the next four days, it s covered and for a change we grown bots are going to have as much fun as the sparklings. Orion answered.
Does Ariel and Bee know Prime? Ironhide asked.
No, not yet we just walked in the door and Ariel is with him in the other room, Orion said back.
Good, Chromia, the sparklings and I are two minutes away, I see you then. Ironhide said then disconnected the call.
Orion mumbled softly to himself, I can hardly wait to see the look on her face when I tell her.

Chromia, are you sure Orion don t know yet about the sparkling? Ironhide asked her as they walked with their young up to the door of Orion s and Ariel s.
Positive, I just talked with her about an hour ago when we left the meeting; she said she found out this afternoon from Ratchet that it would explain why lately she s feeling moody and tired. Chromia said as she reached for the doorbell but chance beat her to it. Chance do you dare ring it more than twice, Chromia said as she lowered her hand.
That he did, just twice then of course old Ironsides excited as he was for his friend turned around right after his son chimed it and pushed the button four more times.
Hide! Behave will you. Chromia chided him as she slapped at his hand, but he just snicker louder though; I swear you are still a youngling Chromia said softly as she just heard Orion hollering as he approached the door from the other side, I m coming already Hide!

Evil femme ain t I!
Sorry but I m running out of time on this and have to post it now; next the surprises are revealed and to the water park they go!
