Ok I need some reviews before the next chapter will be posted. I need to know what you all want to happen next in the story.

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you hadn't made a certain choice? I have, and I certainly regret that choice. The past three days I've been babied, coddled, and scolded no matter what I do. Neither Ironhide nor Jazz will let me out of their sights.

"Please?" I pleaded for the fifth time. Jazz shook his head once again telling me no.

"Why? I'll be with you the whole time. It's not like I'll be out of your sight." I tried to reason but he still said no.

"You know I'm beginning to hate you." I growled lightly as I crossed my arms across my chest.

"Ah'm doin' this to keep ya safe." Jazz stated softly.

"I don't care! I can take care of myself!" I shouted at him. I looked toward the forest that was near my house before I broke out into a run. I dodged Jazz's hand as he tried to grab me. I rushed into the forest not bothering to look back. I didn't care; I needed some time to myself. As I ran I looked for a large enough and clean enough hole to hide in.

"Annabelle! Where are you?" I heard Ironhide call. I ignored him as I came to a large oak tree. Circling around it I found a hole at the base of the tree that looked to have once been an animal's nest. I crawled into the space and pulled my knees up to my chest.

"Annabelle?" I heard Jazz call. I shook my head before pushing it into my knees. Tears stung my eyes as I heard the desperation of their calls but I couldn't bring myself to go to them. I didn't care if they became angry with me, I needed time to myself.

"Anna please." Ironhide pleaded. I saw his alt modes foot step in front of the tree and pushed myself back against the tree. I saw Ironhide form his holoform on the ground in front of him. I knew he was about to find me, but I just stayed still. He slowly looked around thankfully saving where I was hiding last. I expected his eyes to turn angry when he saw me but all I saw was concern and fear. He sprinted over to where I was hiding along with Jazz's holoform as Ironhide called him over.

"Anna!" Jazz called falling on his knees as he wrapped his arms around my stomach. I allowed him suddenly feeling worn out. Ironhide knelt in front of me and grabbed my face in his large hands.

"Do not do that again. You do not know what could have happened Annabelle." He scolded. I nodded but tried to hide my face from his as I felt tears prick my eyes. He didn't let me go he just pulled me in closer and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

"Let it out." I heard him whisper and the dam broke. I sobbed into his shoulder while Jazz and he tried to comfort me. I don't know how long I cried but soon I was just a sniffling mass of hiccups.

"I'm sorry." I whispered into Ironhides throat as he picked me up.

He grunted before he answered. "Don't be you needed something to make you cry. You cannot hold it in; it just wreaks havoc on your body."

"Thank you." I whispered again. My voice was rough and hoarse but neither of my guardians seemed to care. I sighed as Ironhide placed me into the hand of his alt mode and disappeared. He was already moving as his holoform disappeared. I curled up in his even larger hand and wrapped my arms around his pointer finger. Slowly his thumb came to rest across my stomach as he walked back to my house.

Suddenly Ironhide stopped and his radio came on. Optimus' voice filtered through saying that they were needed at the base for their check-ups. Ironhide handed me off to Jazz before he transformed, allowing Jazz to slip me into his back seat. Jazz also transformed and we were off. Since both Jazz and Ironhide were needed I had to come seeing as my mom wasn't home. I slowly drifted off into sleep listening to Ironhides engine roar.

"Ironhide we have to give 'er some space." Jazz stated through their com link.

"I know." Was all he said. Jazz sighed before his holoform appeared in Ironhide's passenger seat.

"Will you get out." Ironhide growled his own holoform appearing in the driver's seat.

"No." Jazz stated and crossed his arms. Ironhide sighed in a puff before relaxing. Looking back at Annabelle, who was spread across the back seat curled into a ball, he smiled slightly. Pulling up to the gates at the "human resources" building he waited for them to realize that it was them before pulling through the gates.

"Should we wake her?" Jazz asked. Ironhide shrugged before turning around and shaking Anna's shoulder. She batted at his hand for a few minutes until she stretched and sat up. Slowly Anna climbed out of Ironhides vehicle mode, though she couldn't stand up straight. She looked around for her father and as she spotted him she slowly walked over to him.

"Daddy." She whispered as she wrapped her arms tightly around his arm. She laid her head on his upper arm and closed her eyes. A loud bang cause her eyes to shoot up and look around. Ratchet had once again thrown something at Ironhide. Anna slowly allowed her eyes to close as the people who her father was talking with left.

"Hey peapod." He whispered bringing her in for a hug.

"Hey." Anna whispered back. She started to drift off again but before she could her father had lifted her up into his arms. Annabelle squeaked before she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. He slowly carried her over to the small wreck room and placed her onto the couch. Will covered her with the wool blanket on the back before he kissed her forehead.

"Just come find me, Ironhide, or Jazz if you need anything." He whispered. A small nod was sent his way as Anna drifted off to sleep.

"Will you stop moving?" Ratchet growled at Ironhide. Ironhide growled back before twitching again. A small warning growl was his only warning as Ratchet beamed him upside the head. As he worked on Ironhide, Jazz and BumbleBee were having another dance contest, the twins were wrestling, Sideswipe was recharging, the twins were gossiping, and Optimus was speaking with Will.

"Ironhide?" He heard her call. No matter how loud things got he would always hear her voice. Looking over at the wreck room he say Anna standing with her eyes squinted and her hands over her ears. He formed his holoform hear here and walked over.

"What is the matter?" He asked.

"I have a migraine." She stated. "Daddies talking to Optimus so I don't know what to do."

"Do you want me to stay with you?" Ironhide asked, already knowing where it was going. Anna nodded her head and looked pleadingly up at him. He sighed slightly with a smile before walking into the empty wreck room. Sitting down on the couch sideways and with his legs spread, he allowed Anna to lay a pillow in between and lay down. This was always the most comfortable position for her, and Ironhide didn't mind he just allowed her to sleep on him.

Annabelle grunted softly as she reached for his hand. At first he was confused as to why she would speak, but remembering the other times when she grunted when reaching for something, he realized it was because she couldn't find the words. (anybody else do that? I do. It's quite annoying but funny watching people when I do do it XD)

Ironhide allowed her to grab his hand and place it on her forehead. Anna started moving his thumb back and forth over her forehead before he realized what she wanted. Continuing to rub his thumb on her forehead, Ironhide watched as she slowly feel asleep. He continued the act as he returned his conscience to his regular form never once stopping what he was doing in the wreck room.

"Are you done now?" He asked gruffly.

"Yes. Jazz!" He yelled at the smaller bot causing him to fall in the middle of one of his "moves". BumbleBee played a laugh track as the recon bot stood grumbling and made his way over to the medic.
