Chapter 53

Arcangel smiled as he watched his twin granddaughters play on the floor in his room. Optimus and Bumblebee were occupied at the moment and had asked him to watch the twins for a little bit.

The former noble thought back to everything that had happened in the past year. He had found his lost daughter and had patched up his relationship with her. He had also learn the lesson of humility when he found out that his son was willing to give up his title as a noble just to be with his little sister and tell the truth to the counsel of elders about what really happened in his household.

Arcangel also realized that when he was captured by Megatron and tortured by the Warlord did he realize just how his daughter must have felt when she was growing up. He had made a promise that if he'd got free that he would try and make up for all the pain he caused his daughter. Arcangel kept that promise and now he was enjoying what little time he had left with his children and grandchildren.

In his quarters Rodimus had just received a datapad containing information about the Noble's counsel. It was the counsel that his father was once on before being voted off when the other nobles found out about what Arcangel did to his daughter.

Now the counsel wanted him to take his father's place. Rodimus didn't know that he wanted to give up his position in the Elite Guard and be away from his team. But another part of his told him that he would be a great addition to the counsel as he was young and Primus knew that the counsel needed young blood as the other members were getting old.

The one thing that concerned Rodimus was that his sister would be in danger because of him being on the Noble's counsel. But then again BrightStar had been fighting on the front lines for over two years and she had showed that she could handle her own in a fight.

Rodimus had a week to make up his mind before making the decision but first he wanted to talk with his family and team about the idea. His family and team were the most important bots in his life and he wanted their option on the matter.

Rodimus was brought out of his thoughts when he heard his sparkling niece's scream their little vocal processors out. Rodimus immediately headed to his father's room and on the way there met up with Bumblebee and Optimus who looked like they had been in a hurry to put their armor on.

The trio wasted no time in kicking down the door to find the twin screaming and crying as they saw their grandfather out cold on the floor with energon leaking from his mouth and nasal passage.

Bumblebee wasted no time as she rushed over to where her sparklings were and picked them up and cradled them to her chassis in an attempt to calm them down.

Rodimus and Optimus immediately rushed over to Arcangel and picked him up and headed out the door to see Ratchet and hoping that he was in the medbay. Primus was on their side as Ratchet was indeed in the med bay cleaning his equipment.

As soon as Ratchet saw Arcangel being carried by Optimus and Rodimus he order them to place the former noble on the table. Ratchet set to work to try and stop the bleeding. He order the two Primes to get out of his med bay and go and comfort the sparklings as they would need it.

The two Primes headed to Optimus's room where they were sure Bumblebee had gone to with the twins. Sure enough Bumblebee was indeed in the room holding her sparklings and trying to calm them down.

Optimus walked right over and picked up StarDusk and started rocking her against his chassis in slow motions. The little sparkling seemed to calm down in the arms of her father and started to go to sleep.

StarSong was proving to be more of a challenge as she refused to calm down no matter what her mother did.

Rodimus had an idea. The red and orange mech walked over to his sister and gently took the fussy sparkling into his arms and placed her over his shoulder and started to pat her back. Soon StarSong began to calm down and go into recharge.

The two Primes carried the recharging twins to their crib berth and gently placed them down in it and covered them up with a thermal blanket making sure they were warm.

"Did Ratchet say what happened to Arcangel?" Bumblebee asked her voice quivering as she had a feeling what was going on.

"No he didn't but we both knew that this time would come but I didn't think that it would be so soon." Rodimus replied as he walked over and sat beside his younger sister.

"It doesn't seem like it's been over a year since the three of us were reunited with each other and I learned to forgive my father." Bumblebee said as she leaned closer to Optimus who just wrapped an arm around her.

"Your father is going to be all right. He's a fighter." Optimus told his mate but something told him that Arcangel wasn't going to online for much longer.

"All we can do is wait for Ratchet to tell us what is going on. All three Autobots had a feeling the the news wasn't going to be good.

Next chapter find out what is going to happen to Arcangel and Rodimus tells his team and sister about the noble's counsel.
