Later that night


Sam had just finished moving his stuff into his room. The room still looked big but now it wasn't so empty. Sam smiled at himself as he looked around and laid on his bed. He was just about to fall asleep when there was a knock at the door. He grumbled and went and opened it, Jack was standing there holding Sam's laptop. Sam had asked him to fix it earlier when he found it, which Jack agreed to.

"Hey Sam…here is your laptop" Jack said and smiled.

"Thank you Jack" Sam said and took it and sat it down on his bed, he turned to see that Jack hadn't moved and was looking around the room.

"Something wrong Jack?" Sam asked and Jack shook his head.

"No no…you just remind me of someone I used to know" Jack said and went to leave.

"Who?" Sam called out and Jack chuckled.

"Your mother" He replied back and left. Sam stood there a little shocked, one because he didn't know Jack knew his real mother, and two because he realized he never asked his dad about her. He ran off to Optimus's room and knocked on the door.

"Yes?" called a slightly aggravated voice from behind the door.

"Hey Dad…its me…can we talk?" Sam asked and suddenly the door opened and Optimus was standing there.

"Of course Sam" Optimus said and motioning Sam to enter. Sam walked in and looked around to see a bed that looked unused and multiple desks around the room.

"Do you ever sleep?" Sam asked as Optimus moved around him and sat at a desk.

"Yes" Optimus answered and went back to work on a piece of a guitar.

"You play guitar?" Sam asked and Optimus smiled and nodded.

"Yes…I learnt it when I met your mother" Optimus said and smiled sadly.

"Oh…uh that is kinda what I want to talk about" Sam said and sat next to Optimus.

"What would you like to know son?" Optimus asked and Sam took a deep breath.

"Uh am I a lot like her, what was she like, was she pretty, when did you two meet, how old were you?" Sam asked quickly and Optimus smirked and held up his hands.

"Whoa to many questions at once…" Optimus said smiling and Sam blushed embarrassed.

"Sorry" Sam muttered and Optimus smiled and picked Sam up and walked to his bed and sat him down. He sat next to him and cleared his throat.

"Well…Yes you are a lot like her Sam, you both are strong, intelligent and very bright. She was wonderful, we met at a conference, at the time I had not been chosen Prime yet and I was working as a record keeper at the Iacon hall of records. They had a conference there because they were trying to decide what to do about a slight rise in violence…your mother was a secretary for the gentlemen that called the conference. I still remember the first time we talked. The conference had just ended and she walked past me and accidentally nudged me, she turned around and apologized and I said…" Optimus paused and smirked and hung his head, "Pretty girl am fine I"" Sam laughed a little and Optimus blushed. "I know I know…I was not Mr. Smooth but it made her laugh…after I had come to my senses I asked her out on a date to which she agreed and we dated for a little while, I then asked for her hand and she said yes, we got married the day before I was chosen for Prime…then when the war began we both decided that if she was to go into the field she would use her madden name so as not to attract any bad attention…" He paused and tears formed in his eyes and Sam watched him. "She had only been in for a week when we found out that she was pregnant…I wanted her to get out of the war…to have you…raise you…so we could be a family…she said no…you were born on the battle field Sam…and not two minutes later were stolen from me and your mother…she ran after you…I was amazed that a women that had just had a child could run so fast…I followed and witnessed something that still haunts me…" Optimus said and wiped his eyes and Sam felt tears run down his face. He suddenly hugged Optimus and Optimus hugged him back.

"Its alright…" Optimus muttered mainly to himself. After a few minutes of silence between the two, Optimus cleared his throat and looked at Sam.

"Sam…I uh I need to go back to work" Optimus said and Sam let go and nodded and walked out and paused outside the door as he heard Optimus start to cry. Sam felt his eyes sting with tears as he walked back to his room. He laid down on the bed and tried to stop himself from crying. He failed.


Sam had cried himself to a dreamless sleep that was interrupted by a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door and saw Ben standing there with roses in his hands. Sam blushed and smiled at him.

"Hi Sam…these are for you" Ben said shyly and handed them to Sam who took them and blushed more.

"Thank you Ben" Sam said and kissed him. Ben kissed back and the two smiled at each other.

"Um would you like to join me for dinner?" Ben said and Sam nodded.

"Great! We are going to Olive garden…" Ben said and walked away leaving Sam there with roses, he sniffed them and smiled as he walked back in. He paused when he heard a blip noise come from his laptop. He walked over and froze, all color in his face instantly disappearing as he read the message.
