Chapter 4 Ironwill
Bumblebee was in the hospital bed she was resting. What she was resting from was the birth of her child.
A baby girl named Ironwill. She has many looks of her father Ironhide. Ironwill was in the nursery. Soon Bumblebee and Ironhide will take her home. Ratchet was giving Ironwill one last check up.
Ratchet smiled Ironwill was a lively little thing. She reminded him of when he gave Bumblebee check ups when she was a sparkling. Ratchet became sad Bumblebee's parents were a couple of his dearest friends. He missed them but he knew they would be so proud of Bumblebee.
Ratchet picked her up. "You're one happy healthy little sparkling." He said.
Ironwill just yawned. "Looks like you're getting sleepy." He said. Ironwill just yawned again. Ratchet chuckled and wrapped Ironwill in a pink blanket and placed her in the med-bay crib. Ironwill went right to sleep.
The next day Ironhide brought the road shuttle up. Bumblebee was pushed out in a wheelchair with Ironwill sleeping in her arms. They placed Ironwill in the infant seat. Bumblebee sat up front with Ironhide and they headed home.
Once arriving at the house. Ironwill woke up. Bumblebee took her out of the infant seat and carried her inside. Ironwill looked around the new space. "Ironwill welcome home this is where you're going to grow up." Bumblebee told her. She sat down on the couch. Ironwill made a whimpering sound and began to cry. "Oh there, there Ironwill. I bet you're hungry. Ironhide could you put the bottle in the microwave?" Bumblebee asked.
"Sure thing darling." He said getting up. He walked into the kitchen and placed a bottle full of sparkling formula in the microwave. After a few seconds it beeped. He took it out and tested it on his wrist. "Just right." He said. He came back into the living room and gave it to Bumblebee.
Bumblebee brought the bottle to Ironwill's mouth who started suckle. Ironwill finished about half before letting go. Bumblebee pulled the bottle away and began to pat her back. Ironwill burped and went right to sleep.
Bumblebee to her to their room were they had the newborn bed and placed her inside. Ironhide turned on the sparkling monitor. The two of them then quietly tip toed out of the room.
The two of them relaxed on the couch. "It's hard to believe we're parents now." Ironhide said.
"Yeah," Bumblebee said.
A week later. Bumblebee was at the house and Ironhide was at work. He dozed off. Caring for a sparkling is a whole lot of hard work. "Ironwill please stop crying, it's alright." Bumblebee said walking around the house rocking her. "Where's Ironhide when I need him." she said.
Finally she managed to get Ironwill to stop crying and put her down for a nap. She sat down to rest. Ironhide came in. "Hi dear, have a good day?" Ironhide asked.
"I'm tired I spent nearly 2 hours to put Ironwill down for a nap." Bumblebee said.
"I'm sorry you had a rough day, I'm here to help now." Ironhide said.
"You have been helping much!" Bumblebee said.
"I have work!" Ironhide snapped back.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAA!" They heard.
"It took me two hours to put her down for a nap." Bumblebee said. "Why did you wake her up!" Bumblebee shouted and went to the bedroom. She began to calm the child. Ironhide came in.
Bumblebee turned a with now calm Ironwill. "Are you mad at me?" Ironhide asked touching her. Bumblebee moved away.
"I am angry you don't care that you have wife and child!" Bumblebee said.
"I do care! I try to help but I'm swamped with work!" Ironhide said.
"Out of the room and you will be on the couch for quite some time." Bumblebee said.
Ironhide sighed and put his pillow on the couch and got comfortable on the couch and let out a hurt sigh. The next day he woke up. Bumblebee wasn't up he went into check on her.
He saw her in bed she looked sick. Ironhide took her temperature she had a fever and took Ironwill out just in case Bumblebee was contagious. He got a couple of pills for her fever and a drink. "I call my work place I will take a couple days off to take care of you and the sparkling and the house." Ironhide said.
A couple of days had passed and Bumblebee was feeling better. Ironhide was making breakfast. "Hey dear," Bumblebee said. Ironhide looked like he didn't feel to well. Bumblebee felt his forehead. "Ironhide you need to lie down you are burning up." Bumblebee said.
Bumblebee lead him to the bedroom. Bumblebee called Ratchet because she was concerned about Ironhide. Ratchet came over and examined him. "Looks like a little throat infection. It will clear in couple of days." Ratchet said.
Bumblebee began to tend to Ironhide. Soon Ironhide was playing citchie coo with his daughter.
Today Ironhide came home from work and saw Bumblebee holding Ironwill. He took Ironwill into his arms. "How is my little darling?" Ironhide cooed. Ironwill giggled and touched Ironhide's face.
11 month later. Ironwill was growing up she was crawling all over the place. Ironhide stood her up and grabbed her hands and began to walk. Ironwill began to walk a bit. Bumblebee was making a home video. "So cute!" she said.
a few weeks later. Ironwill was a year old and she had learned how to walk. She was toddling all over the place. She loved Ironhide's and Bumblebee's friends. She held on to Bulkhead's leg and went for a ride as Bulkhead walked around.
Ironwill looked at Sari. "S-Sari" Ironwill said.
"Look at that Sari she said your name!" Bumblebee said.
"That is cute." Bulkhead said.
