Chapter 36

Arcangel looked at the sleeping forms of his two children laying beside him. He understood why Rodimus would be sleeping near him but BrightStar, now that was a mystery. As far as he knew BrightStar hated him with a passion. So why would she be recharging by his side?

The door to the medbay opened and in walked Ratchet who noticed right away that Arcangel was awake.

"Good to see you're awake Arcangel. Every one was getting worried." The grumpy medic said as he ran a scanner over the former noble to make sure that everything was all right.

"Everyone?"

"Yes even Bumblebee. She and Rodimus haven't left your side since we rescued you a few day ago." Ratchet replied softly so not to wake up Rodimus and Bumblebee.

"I would have thought that BrightStar would have wanted me to die at the hands of the Decepticons." Arcangel pointed out as he trailed his hands over the helms of his children.

"Bumblebee was the given the choice to let you suffer and rot or join a rescue team. She choose to rescue you." Ratchet explained. "That tells me that some where deep down Bumblebee does care about you somewhat."

"I don't see why. I never did anything for her when she lived in my home." The former noble pointed out.

"Sari had a similar situation a couple of months ago. It turns out that her father had kept a secret from her and Sari was so upset that she didn't want anything to do with her father. It took her father almost dying during an attack protecting her to make her realize just how much her father loved her." Ratchet said. "I know for a fact that deep down you love your daughter. You just were dealing with the loss of your mate that you didn't know what to do. I'm not saying what you did was right but because of what you did Bumblebee was able to be the Autobot she is now. An Autobot that would die for her friends and loved ones. An former noble that was able to survive on the streets with the help of street vendors."

"She never should have been forced to live on the streets but I was too blind to see that MoonStar wasn't completely gone. That she left me something of her behind. MoonStar left me BrightStar and like you said I was to busy grieving to notice just how much my daughter adored me and I never saw it. Alpha Trion was right about me not being worthy to be a member of the Senate because of the way I treated my own child. It's a shame that it took me almost offlineing to fully see what an Aft head I have been to BrightStar." Arcangel replied softly as he looked at his children with love his his optics.

Ratchet heard a couple of groans and looked down to see that Rodimus and Bumblebee were starting to wake up.

Bumblebee was the first to fully come online. She raised her head up to see her father smiling at her which surprised her for her father never ever smiled at her.

"How do you feel Arcangel?" Bumblebee asked. She couldn't call him father just yet.

"I'm a little sore but considering what I went through I think that I'm lucky to be functioning." The former noble replied then he place a hand on the side of his daughter's face. "I want to thank you for what you did. Primus knows I didn't deserve it."

Bumblebee just looked at her father. "If I had let you there to rot with the Cons then I would be no better then them. No Autobot no matter what they did in the past deserves to go through that torture." The purple and blue femme told her Sire.

"Thank you." Arcangel said and then looked into Bumblebee's optics. "When I was a prisoner I did a lot of thinking and I realized that Megatron only captured me so that he could teach me a lesson on how to properly treat a sparkling. Megatron kept saying that he growing up on the streets of Kaon was treated better than you were. Those were the words that made me think about how I was treating you. I was no better than a Decepticon. I don't know if you can ever find it in your spark to forgive me for what I did to you." Arcangel said as he hung his head down.

Bumblebee looked at her Sire and realized that he was telling the truth about him being truly sorry for what he did to her.

"It's going to take some time but I think I can forgive you." Bumblebee smiled as she raised her Sire's head. "Something good came out of everything that happened to me. I was able to find friends and a team that cared about me. I would die for them in a sparkbeat but I would never have met them if it wasn't for the way I was treated. Sari used to say that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Bumblebee explained. She saw the confused look on her Sire face. "That saying means that when life gets in your way, you just have to find a way around it. Which is what I did."

"Ratchet said the same thing about making friends and dying for them. You grown up into such a fine young femme and I'm ashamed that I missed out on all of it." Arcangel said as he patted Bumblebee's head.

"Nice to know that you are finally admitting that BrightStar is part of out family." Rodimus said as he onlined his optics. He had been listening to the conversation for a while. The young Prime was glad that his family was back together again.

Bumblebee gave her brother a smack upside the head.

Ratchet let out a small chuckle at the sight of the happy family. Bumblebee was for once in her life truly happy and she had her family back.

"Now that all everyone is awake I need Rodimus and Bumblebee to leave the medbay as I need to run some scans on your father." Ratchet told the two younglings.

Both younglings nodded their heads and left the room. Ratchet then turned to Arcangel who was looking at the medic with a solemn look.

"Judging by the look you are giving me you already know what I'm going to say." The Great War medic asked.

"Yes I do. I could taste the sugar when the glass cleaner was shoved down my throat. I don't know how I'm still alive after all the sugar was ingested into my systems." Arcangel replied.

"My guess is that it may have to do with the fact that you want to make up for what you did to Bumblebee when she was a sparkling." Ratchet pointed out.

"That may be true. When I was hallucinating just before I was rescued I saw my mate again. She told me some things and I realized that I really was just like a Decepticon when it came to raising my daughter. BrightStar didn't deserve what I did to her and yet she still stayed sweet and innocent in everything she did." Arcangel said with a smile as he thought of his daughter.

"Bumblebee is like that. No matter what happened she would always have a smile on her face and would always be cheerful. She was the first one to make us realize that not all organics were dangerous and would kill you. Bumblebee is a risk taker most of the time." Ratchet said smiling as he thought of his youngest teammate who never seemed to have a frown on her face.

"She is so much like her mother that it's scary. I think that was one of the reason that I didn't want anything to do with her when she was a sparkling. Don't get me wrong that is something that I'm not proud of anymore." The Former noble said with his head hung down low.

"I believe you Arcangel about being sorry for what happened in the past but now you don't have much time to make it up to her. I would suggest that you spend as much time as you can with your children as you can." Ratchet replied.

"Thank you Ratchet for everything." Arcangel replied as he got up off of the med berth and left the room.

Ratchet gave on of his rare smiles that came from the spark. He could tel that Arcangel was willing to try and make up for lost time. He just wished that the former noble would have the time to enjoy it.

Ratchet went over to his reports. When Bumblebee came back from rescuing her father he did a scan on everyone and hers showed that there was something wrong with her spark chamber. It wasn't anything serious at the time and Ratchet had to repair Arcangel so he let it go to the side.

But now Ratchet had time to look at the scan and what he saw caused him to drop the pad and his jaw at the same time. There was just no way that Bumblebee could be that. There was just no way.

Ratchet always knew that Bumblebee was always careful in what she did even if she didn't act it. So there was just no way she was that careless and neither would Optimus be. She was too young to be in this situation.

Heads were going to roll and the bodies that the heads belong to were named Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. Ratchet also had a feeling that Kit was Going to kill Optimus when she found out about Bee.

Next chapter find out what is wrong with Bee and Arcangel starts to renew his relationship with Bumblebee.

Any ideas are welcome anything. Do not be afraid to give me your ideas as i always find a way to use them somehow.

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