Chapter 14

The ride back to the base was long and tiring for Bumblebee who fell into a light recharge in the back of Optimus's trailer. The day had been very taxing on her and all she wanted to do was see Sam and go to bed. But she knew that was not going to happen as everyone would want to make sure that she was alright.

Bumblebee was woken up when she felt Optimus stop and she knew that she was at the base. She let out a groan as she stood up and headed out of the open trailer. As soon as she let the trailer she was bombarded by questions from all the members of NEST. Major Lennox and Sgt Epps and the rest of their team were doing their best to keep the other members of the base away from Bumblebee.

All of a sudden a figure came running through the sea of people. The military people made an hole in the crowd to allow the person through as it would have been suicide to stop them.

"BUMBLEBEE!"

Bumblebee look down at the human that had latch onto her leg and let out a chuckle. She had missed Sam as much as the young human had missed her.

"It's good to see you too Sam." Bumblebee told her human friend as she trailed a finger down the side of Sam's back.

"Samantha I know that you want to spend time with Bumblebee but we have to do some scans on her and see if she is okay." Ratchet told Sam who nodded and let go of Bumblebee's leg. "You can see her in a few hours."

"Come on kid let's tell the others that Bumblebee is back safe and sound." Major Lennox told Sam as he came up behind her and took her arm and lead her away from the group of Autobots.

Bumblebee followed Ratchet into the med bay where she knew she was in for a yelling of a lifetime and she was right for as soon as she entered the med bay and after Ratchet turned on the noise dampers he processed to tear her a new aft hole.

He told her that she had been so irresponsible during her time with Barricade and that she should have never even thought about interfacing with the enemy. Ratchet ripped into her about other things too.

Finally Bumblebee had enough of being yelled even though she knew that it was out of love. "You were not there Ratchet!" Bumblebee screamed the medic. "You didn't know that he was one of the best musician in all of Cybertron by the time he was thirteen or know what Barricade went through when the war started. Did you know that he ate from trash cans just to survive and did you know that the only reason he joined the Decepticons was because Megatron found him first."

Ratchet stood where he was standing in shock. He had no idea that one of the Decepticons most fearsome warriors had a past like that.

"Ratchet he really isn't that bad once you get to know him." Bumblebee said.

"I am sorry for yelling at you Bumblebee. It just that it's hard for me to accept that the sparkling that I helped raise is going to become a mother in 11 months." Ratchet said to Bumblebee.

"I know how you feel Doc Bot. It hard for me to believe that I am going to be a mother." Bumblebee replied as she headed for the med berth so that she could be examined.

Ratchet let out a sigh before he walked over to his work table and picked up a scanner that looked similar to the one he used to scan Bumblebee when they were out on the other milltary base. Only this one looked more like it could scan more than just bio signs.

"Please lie down for me Bumblebee. I just want to do a quick scan around your spark chamber and see how that sparkling is doing." Ratchet told Bumblebee who did what she was told and laid back on the berth as Ratchet scanned Bumblebee's chassis area.

Bumblebee in the meantime just offlined her optics and let Ratchet do his work. She knew that Ratchet would be able to find if anything was wrong with her or her sparklings as he was her Doctor when she was a sparkling.

Several minutes passed before Bumblebee heard Ironhide's voice. Everyone in the room must have thought that she was in recharge. Instead of onlineing her optics she decided to listen to what her overbearing if not well meaning protective father figure was going to say.

"I just can't believe that Bumblebee is carrying." Ironhide told Ratchet and the others. "It seems like only yesterday that she was so small that she fit in the palm of my hand."

"I know how you feel Old Friend." Optimus said to Ironhide. The Prime thought back to when he first found Bumblebee as a sparkling hiding behind some rubble and was terrified to even move. Who knew what type of horrors the sparkling had seen. Optimus remembered when he had offered Bumblebee a small cube of energon was when Bumblebee came out of her hiding place. Who knew how long she had been hiding there. Optimus immediately scooped the sparkling up into his arms and headed towards the base.

"When I see that worthless Con I'm going to rip his interface off and shove it down his throat." Ironhide growled.

"Now hold on Ironhide. Bumblebee told me about Barricade's life before the joining the Decepticons." Ratchet told the well meaning mech. "It turns out that Barricade was a musician before the war and when the war started he lost his creators. He was forced to live of the streets and eat from garbage cans. Bumblebee told me that if it was an Autobot that found him first, he would have joined the Autobots but Megatron found him and offered a food and place to stay. Also keep in mind that Barricade was only about 21 at the time so he didn't know what he was getting himself into."

Ironhide let out a sigh. Part of him thought about what would have happened to Bumblebee if she was found by a Decepticon and raised by them. Gone would be the sweet little femme that he had come to love and in her place would be this blood thirsty femme that didn't care about life at all.

"Now that we cleared that up, what in the name of the Allspark are we going tell the humans?" Ratchet asked. "We can't just go around at tell them that one of us is pregnant when they see us as just a bunch of robots."

Optimus moved to speak but was cut off by the sound of one of the doors opening and in walked Galloway looking a little shell shocked. It was apparent that he had over heard Ratchet say that Bumblebee was carrying.

"How is the world can one of you be Pregnant?" The human asked.

Everyone let out a groan as they knew that they were in for a long talk.

Next chapter the Humans get a lesson in Sparkling 101 and how Cybertronians reproduce.

Ideas for how Cybertronians reproduce and how they developed would be wonderful and anything is welcomed.

I would like at least 2 reviews before uploading the next chapter. Thanks and peace out.

I am sorry that this took so long to get out but I was having a hard time writing it.
