"How are they, sire?" Optimus asked when Ratchet finished scanning his two patients.
"They are getting worse. I do not know what is going on. I've done all that I can for them," said Ratchet. "It won't be long until their human hearts give out on them. I will do what I can though to keep them alive."
"Thank you," Optimus said, looking down. He activated his holoform, going to his mate and daughter. He needed to be closer to them. He felt Ratchet pull him into a hug.
"I am sorry my son," said Ratchet. "I will come back in a bit. My systems will alert me if anything changes."
Optimus nodded, never turning his attention away. He just wanted them to live. Soft footsteps brought the holoform's attention to the approaching human. He saw James come up beside him. With instinct, he hugged James for a physical comfort. James had no objection, hugging back. No words were said. None were needed to be said.
~~~a few days later
Optimus sat on his berth, face buried in his servos. Ratchet had informed him that their hearts had given up. The Prime cried, feeling so empty inside. It felt worse than when he had to send them away for their safety.
"Primus, why? Why did you take them away from me?" Optimus asked into the empty air.

"It is time child," said Primus.
"Thank you," said Ann.
"Of course Stardust," said Primus. "Go now. Enjoy your life."
Ann nodded as her world changed. When she opened her optics, she saw the ceiling of the medibay. Sitting up, Ann saw that she was back to her Cybertronian form. Next to her on a different berth was her daughter, who also was in her original form. Gem had woken up shortly, confused on what had happened.
"Carrier?" Gem asked. "We're Cybertronian again!"
"Yes, we are," said Stardust. "Let's go find sire."
Stardust got off the berth, picking up Gem and setting her down on the ground. They held servos as they came from the back room of the medibay. Ratchet was the only one in there, leaning against a berth. Gem tripped a bit, the soft tap of her pedes getting the medic's attention. Ratchet turned around, wrench in his servo at the ready. He was stunned by who he saw.
"Carrier, I think grandsire is broken," said Gem.
"Then you better go give him a hug to fix him," said Stardust.
"Stardust nodded, going to Ratchet. She only came up to the bottom of his chest, so her arms went around his waist. Ratchet knelt down, pulling the youngling into his arms. He cried a bit, so happy to see them.
"Don't cry grandsire," said Gem.
"I'm so glad you are alive," said Ratchet, pulling back to see her. "You should go see your sire. He will be glad to know you are alive. He believes you two died."
"Then we shall go do just that," said Stardust. "Come on sweetie. Let's go find sire."
"He's in his berthroom. I sent him there," said Ratchet.
"Thanks Ratch," said Stardust. "See you later."
Stardust picked up Gem, heading to the well known room. The two femmes ignored the looks that the humans and 'bots gave her. She needed to get to Optimus. Setting Gem down, she opened the door to the berthroom with the code Optimus told her about.
The two walked in quietly. Optimus hadn't looked up, not wanting to deal with anyone at the moment.
"Please, leave me," said Optimus.
"Are you sure?" Stardust asked. She smiled at seeing Optimus' helm shoot up and look to the femmes in bewilderment.
"S-Stardust? Is... is it truly you?" Optimus asked.
"Of course silly. Who else would it be?" Stardust teased.
"Sire, you're silly," Gem giggled.
Optimus moved so fast, they didn't see him until he was in front of them. The Prime pulled them in close, embracing them tightly.
"Thank Primus. I thought I lost you forever," said Optimus.
"You never can. We're with you forever," said Stardust. "Though, another one will be with us forever. You remember James, right?"
"Of course. He has been nearby a lot while you were in stasis," said Optimus.
"Well, Primus has told me that he is to be bonded to us as well. I have no problem with it if you don't," said Stardust.
"I will not object," said Optimus.
"Then it is settled. We'll get him alone with us and ask if he would like to be in our bond," said Stardust.
"I'll get him," Gem chirped. The youngling ran out of the room to go get the human.
"Such a bright youngling," Stardust said.
"Indeed," Optimus agreed, pulling Stardust into his arms and onto the berth. The femma sat in his lap, facing him. The Prime leaned forward and kissed her. "I love you, Stardust."
"I love you too, Optimus," Stardust whispered, kissing him again.
~~~rec room
"James, James, James, James, James."
James looked up from his arm wrestle with Luna. He lost the match, but didn't care. The new femme calling his attention with a familiar voice caught his attention.
"Stella?" James asked. "You've changed."
"Yep! Primus turned me and carrier back into Cybertronians. They need to see you," said Gem. "Let's go. Oh, Luna, you better go see Ratchet."
"Why?" Luna asked.
"You'll see," said Gem. She picked up the man and went back to to her creators' room. "I got him."
"Good. Go find Uncle Megs," said Stardust.
"Okay!"
The young femme ran off. James was confused as to why he was there. Stardust offered her servo to the human, allowing him to be more level with them.
"What's up?" James asked, his confusion clear.
"Well, we want you to be a third in our bond," said Stardust.
"Why?" James asked.
"Not only has Primus said so, but I know you harbor feelings for us," said the femme.
"We are both willing to let you join us," said Optimus. "Is this something you would want?"
"Of course," said James, feeling so happy. He was practically on cloud 9. They had wanted him the same way he wanted them.
"Then be prepared to have your world rocked," said Stardust.
