We stayed at the lookout for a while, just staring at the sky as the others bustled about doing their own things, my senses picking up their contentment from our link making me chuckle softly as I looked over at them "it's nice to see everyone so peaceful isn't it?" I asked quietly, leaning my head on my hand as Ratchet started yelling at Ironhide while Bumblebee and Jazz tormented Sam and Mikeala "they really look happy"

"Indeed they do Kira"

Smiling I stood up from Optimus' shoulder and stretched to get the kinks out of my back, cringing when Frenzy started chasing Sam again "those two are really going to have a hard time getting along" I commented lightly, snorting when Frenzy crashed into Barricade's leg making him growl and scare the living daylights out of Sam who bolted in the other direction towards Bumblebee. Optimus watched this with a fond smile before gently clasping my waist with two fingers and depositing me on the ground "and now I believe it is time for you to recharge" I groaned at that, sending him a sulky look before poking my tongue out at him and running to Barricade "Cade we better leave now if I'm going to face the wrath of my mother…. Hey Ironhide, where's Driftstream?" I asked in concern when I didn't see him anywhere "I would've thought he would be here."

He chuckled as he stood up and clapped Ratchet on the back "he is at the Lennox property watching them till we get there, then he will return to the base after he has said good night to you, stubborn youngling" he groused, sending me a scathing look as I laughed at him while turning his head to look at Bumblebee "you had best get the children back to their homes, I doubt you want Sam's femme creator to beat you with that bat she was carrying earlier."

Bumblebee whirred sadly as he looked at me, picking me up to nuzzle my stomach as I tapped his cheek "hey, I'll be back at my home soon, I just need to let my mom know that I'm okay" I whispered as he chirped happily, placing me on the ground as he transformed back into a Camaro so Sam and Mikeala could get in "take care Kira, and don't let you mom near my mom!" Sam called as Bee drove away before I could reply. Shrugging I whistled to get Frenzy's and Tsuki's attention "hey we're leaving now, make sure to stay out of sight when we're at my parents' house, I don't want to freak my mom out too much till she gets told about you guys."

They clicked at me before jumping inside Barricade who transformed and pulled up next to me along with Ironhide as I turned to the others "you take care alright? I'll see you soon" they grinned, well, as much as a robotic alien could as they too transformed and drove off till they were out of sight "well, let's get this over with" I commented dryly as I climbed into Barricade's driver's seat "we never know what will happen"

"If she is your femme creator I gather she will probably be very angry but also relieved to see you are alright little one, you are very precious to those who care"

Grinning I tapped the dash and leaned back as he clipped my seatbelt into place and tightened it in a hug "I think you're going soft" he chuckled and fell silent as he tinted the windows "go to sleep, I'll wake you up when we get there."

And that he did, by sending my seat flying forward so I smacked my head on his steering wheel "damn it Cade what was that for!" I groused at him, rubbing the red mark on my forehead as I glared at the dash "that hurt!"

"You wouldn't wake up so I resorted to a last measure"

"What? Splashing my brains all over the place?"

"… You have a brain?"

"Shut the frag up you over grown trash compactor!"

He chuckled lowly as I crossed my arms over my chest, snarling at him as he tightened y seatbelt again "my apologies Kira, you are just fun to annoy." Huffing I tugged on the seatbelt, glancing out the windscreen to see my mother standing on the porch with my father, a small baby in her arms "what is she's forgotten me?" I asked sadly, watching as she shifted who I can only assume to be Annabelle on her hip "she looks happy enough as it is."

Barricade sighed as Frenzy transformed and plopped in my lap, wrapping his spindly arms around me as Tsuki did the same though from some reason she decided to crawl onto my head "even if she has forgotten you, with I highly doubt, you have all of us as well. Even the Witwicky family love you… much to my annoyance the whiny flesh bag" he grumbled as I chuckled and hugged the seatbelt as dad took Annabelle away and motioned towards us, coming down the steps as she stared over in confusion "well better get this over with" I muttered as the two let go and Cade removed the seatbelt.

Taking a deep breath I opened Cade's door and stepped out, looking at my mother dead in the eyes as she gasped and covered her mouth with her hands, tears forming in her eyes as she paled "hey mom" I whispered, walking towards her only to sprint when she fell to her knees "are you okay?" she snorted as I crouched beside her, grabbing me tightly in a suffocating hug "I should be asking you that" she sobbed, running her hands over my face and hair as she brought me into her embrace again "my baby, my brave little soldier" she whispered, sobbing loudly enough to set Annabelle off as well.

Grimacing I glanced at dad before pointedly looking at Barricade, Ironhide and Driftstream who had sneakily crawled closer to where we were on the ground, my message? –Does the mother know about them? - His answer? A shrug, a freaking shrug; you dad are a pain in the ass.

Grumbling I watched as he handed Annabelle over to mom, the former staring at me in curiosity through her tears as dad cleared his throat "Sarah, honey there is something else I wanted to tell you, well, show you" he said sheepishly, shooting me a look that said he needed help before turning to the three vehicles "okay you guys can transform, no one will see you" he commented as I made mom sit down "you might faint and we don't want you hurt" I muttered as Barricade opened his door and shooed Tsuki and Frenzy out who came over to us and climbed on me, again, making mom gasp and hug Annabelle tighter "it's okay Sarah, they're friendly" my dad remarked casually, shifting his eyes away from the evil look she sent him as the others transformed, their gears clanking and whirring as they took their bipedal forms.

Moms' mouth dropped as I walked over to them and tapped Driftstream on the leg "mom, these are cybertronians; their faction is the Autobot's…."

So we told her the whole story, from my kidnapping up until now and she just nodded every now and then, he eyes forming a deadly glare at Barricade who actually cringed when I was talking about how he had tried to kill Sam and me before he defected to the Autobot's though he was still a neutral and so on. Dad however decided now was the best time to lay out the fact that she was a grandma "Tsuki and Driftstream here are in fact Kira's children" he commented cheerfully, laughing nervously as she took Annie inside, her waving at all of the bots making them smile at her, their eyes glowing bright.

Dad and I gulped and looked at each other as she came out with a bat in her hands "run?"

"Run; definitely run!"

"WILLIAM CHARLES AND KIRA SAIYURI LENNOX YOU GOT INVOLVED IN AN INTERGALCTIC WAR!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

The bot's cringe and backed away from the bat wielding woman as she chased us round the front lawn, screaming her head off about how she was too young to be a grandmother and that it could only be us who got ourselves into extremely dangerous situations "hey it wasn't just us, dads team was there as well!" I screamed, yelping as I was picked up and held to Cade's chest plates as she continued to chase after dad "you got your team involved as well!"

"They were already involved because of the attack on our base!"

"That's no excuse! You could have died!"

Mom eventually grew tired of chasing us so I was handed to Driftstream who nuzzled me gently, my parents watching form the porch as Ironhide and Barricade looked round, Frenzy and Tsuki running round their feet "goodnight femme creator" he breathed quietly, purring as I pecked his faceplate and stroked his head "goodnight sweet heart, you be good to uncle Optimus, uncle Jazz and grandpa Ratchet you hear?"

"Of course femme creator"

Nodding I tapped his cheek, sending Ironhide an amused look as he joy flooded through our links along with Drifter's love and Barricades amusement "grandpa Ratchet" he bellowed, holding onto a nearby tree for support as he laughed "oh Kira you really are evil" he commented before turning to Drifter "kid, you say that to Ratch and I guarantee that he will glitch." Snickering I sighed as I was put down, watching as Drifter transformed and drove off while flashing his lights "be careful!" I called after him, shoving my hands into my pockets as I looked at dad "you staying for the night?" he asked, tilting his head towards my mom who looked sad "we'd like it if you did."

Smirking a bit I tapped Barricade's foot "do you mind Cade?" I asked him, leaning against his hand as he ran a claw down my back before transforming "go ahead, we shall depart for your home in tranquillity in a few days, let you and your femme creator catch up as you humans say" grinning I pecked the bonnet affectionately, smiling when I felt his contentment through our link before doing the same to Ironhide whose engine rumbled in response "goodnight then guys, have a good recharge, you deserve it."

They flashed their lights at me as I jogged over to my parents, Frenzy and Tsuki climbing on me again much to my annoyance "do you have to climb on me?"

"Y-yes"

"Why?

"w-we l-like Kira, K-Kira friendly –a-and welcoming. B-Barricade a mean s-slagger"

"Frenzy! Language!"

He snickered and twittered a bit, crawling around the floor to stare at Annabelle who looked at him and laughed, clapping her hands together when she saw him "this is a human sparkling? Tsuki asked, tilting her head as Annabelle crawled over and tugged on her arms "she is very… sweet… and squishy"

"You to honestly are annoying" I commented dryly, crouching so I could sit down as Annabelle looked at me curiously "hey Annie-Chan" I cooed at her, hugging my knees to my chest as I tilted my head at her when she started crawling over to me and held her arms out "she wants to meet you Kira" my mom whispered as she appeared behind us "she's never seen you before but she want to know who you are. She'll do the same thing tomorrow most likely if she sees you're um cybertronians friends."

"You can just call them Autobot's but just call Barricade Cade, he is still only a neutral after all but he's also my guardian"

She nodded, slipping down to seat herself next to me with a bowl of popcorn in her hand and the TV remote "I thought you might want to watch a few movies like we used to before you were taken" smiling I picked Annabelle up carefully and placed her in my lap, grunting when she grabbed hold of my hair and pulled on it "she's definitely a Lennox" I muttered, hissing when she touch one of the cuts on my head that was still healing "careful Annie-Chan" she giggled and tapped my cheeks before planting a slobbery kiss on my cheek and hugging me tightly as she looked at mom "yes Annabelle, this is your big sister Kira, she's not as evil as she looks"

"Hey I resent that!"

"Well you do look rather evil"

"Not you as well dad!"

Grumbling I sent them a glare before looking at Annie "parents are evil, yes they are they are very, very evil people" what I got in return? Another kiss and a hug, lovely.

We stayed up most of the night watching various films, talking and just spending time together as a family and by the time we fell asleep it was 2 o'clock in the morning and it was a nice sleep to, until a certain weapon specialist decided to wake us all up by driving past the living room window as though the devil was after him.

Yelping I jumped up, followed by dad as mom soothed Annie who had started crying "IROHIDE!" I screamed at him, stomping down the steps as he raced past again "why are you… oh" snickering I covered my mouth when I saw he was being chased by a gold Labrador, it's tongue hanging out it's mouth as it barked as chased him some more before freezing when dad whistled "Yuri! Get over here, eave Ironhide alone!"

"Slagging fleshy rodent I'll terminate you!"

"Ironhide put the damn cannons away before I karate kick a rock into your face!"

"you wouldn't dare!"

*clang*

"Ow slag it Kira!"

"And stop with the cussing! We have kids here!"

He grumbled slightly and put his cannons away as 'Yuri' plopped down by dads feet "good boy" he cooed, glaring at me when I snickered at him "we named him after you" he commented door motion towards me "look Yuri go get her!"

"WHAT? HELL NO!"

"Oh come on Kira he's a dog!"

"That's not a dog it's a freaking horse... no, Yuri no!"

…..

"Now how does it feel to have a rodent slobber on you!"

"Oh shut up Hide at least I didn't get pissed on!"

"WOOF!"

"No, stay away!"

Chuckling I grabbed the dog by the collar before it could go after Ironhide again "dumb animal" I muttered as I shooed him inside the house, tapping Cade's bonnet as I stopped by him "morning Cade"

"Good morning Kira, did you have a good recharge?"

"I did up until the baby over there woke us up"

"I heard that you fragger!"

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT CUSSING!" I roared at him before lobbing another rock at him, grinning in satisfaction as it rebounded off his head leaving a nice dent "and this ladies and gentlemen why you do not wake up a grumpy Lennox that has had hardly any sleep."
