Left you guys on a cliffhanger last time! But we must figure out if Penny will be okay after all! Enjoy!


Previously on Mother of the Transformers...

Penny has been gifted with the best kids around. Armed with weapons and having the ability of transformation, they are the Autobots and the Decepticons from Cybertron. Each of them has a special trait about them that makes life around her neighborhood more interesting. They've even made friends with the neighborhood crazy girl Izzy and the book loving miscreant Tanya. Life with the Transformers will be action packed and fun for all!

Okay even I have to admit that was a bit corny. Who writes this stuff and thinks the readers haven't caught up yet? What are we, a book series? Let me do the dialogue for now.

Hello readers, Izzy here! If you've read the last chapter, then you know about the whole incident involving Miss Drake passing out in front of us and making a big fuss around the house. Of course who wouldn't freak out at the sight of your beloved neighbor on the ground passed out? To make matters worse, her kids are some sort of alien babies with robot features.

True story.

So I bet your wondering, "Will Penny be alright?", "Is she going to survive?", and all that jazz. To answer your question...

We may have to go back a couple of hours...


"Okay gently place her on the couch."

Megatron made to attempt to listen to Izzy, but did what she commanded. The frail looking form of his caretaker made him realize just how fragile human life forms were. Here was the woman who had given up her time and love for a bunch of creatures like him. Izzy watched as he placed a servo on the woman's face in sadness. Despite his outward appearance, she found herself unable to look away at his pain. What she wanted to do was hug him, but feared the cannon that would be pointed at her if she even tried. He had some good in him after all, even if he was a little rough around the edges.

Ratchet and Knockout walked into the living room with the First Aid kit in both their servos. Knockout saw the state that Penny was in and quickly hopped onto the couch to help remedy her. Ratchet only rolled his optics at the brash way he was doing things. Megatron growled at his medic and shooed him off Penny's face.

"What do you think you're doing? You're going to make her be in more pain!" He yelled, rushing over to comfort her sleeping face. "It's alright, you are going to be fine."

"Megatron, we are going to have to check her vitals. Can you please let us touch her body?" Ratchet said, opening the kit.

"Very well, but tell Knockout to be careful with her. If she gets too damaged, you're all going to suffer my wrath." He snarled, moving away from Penny's face. Izzy shook her head as he only walked towards the recliner and hopped on it to watch the medics work. She herself went over to help the two as well.

"Do you two need some help? I do have a bit of experience with fatigue." She said, the two allowing her to help. Smokescreen and Dreadwing came from the bathroom with the wet washcloth and gave it to her. Izzy pressed the wet cloth on Penny's forehead, cooling her down a bit. She was grateful that she at least knew how to do this from years of watching her mother help her brother.

"What's her status Doc?" Smokescreen asked Ratchet, who was scanning Penny.

"She's fine for now, a bit worn out and tired for now." Ratchet replied, patting his carrier's arm.

"After a nice long rest and some water she should be fine." Knockout confirmed his thoughts exactly.

"Penny just has to heal, if not we are doomed." Dreadwing said sadly, not wanting another family member close to his spark dying on him. He had already lost Skyquake, he didn't need to lose Penny too.

Prime came into the living room with the blanket behind him. The poor sparkling was struggling as he pulled the rather large blanket behind him. Izzy leapt from the floor and took the blanket out of his servos.

"Thank you Small Leader." She said nicely, patting his head gently. "You did a good job." Placing the bots on the floor, she laid the blanket across Penny's body. The orange haired woman snuggled deeply in the sheets. The bots sighed in relief at the sight of her moving a bit.

Bee, Starscream, and Arcee came in with tons of pillows in their arms. Bee made a whining voice with his vocalizer when he saw Penny. Starscream stared at the body of his beloved caretaker and let small tears run down his faceplate. Arcee couldn't bare to watch her while she placed pillows around her. First Tailgate, then Cliffjumper, and she didn't want to think Penny would be next. With a heavy spark, she threw herself onto Penny and started to sob long and hard.

"PENNY!" Her voice was filled with so much anguish that it made everyone around her feel pain in their sparks. "PLEASE COME BACK TO US! WE NEED YOU!"

"Arcee..." Prime watched her just cry blue tears upon Penny's body. There were no arms to comfort her, no loving smile to assure her that everything would be alright. The others came into the room, watching Arcee cry. The only femme in the group wept bitter tears for their carrier's recovery. Izzy felt her own heart shatter in pieces as she gently took the pill bottle from Breakdown. Tears had finally broke on the teen's face as she lifted her neighbor's head and helped her swallow the pill. Then she gave Penny a tight hug. Her favorite sitter, the only one who could tolerate her crazy nature was asleep from whatever was making her weak. Izzy decided she would stay over to take care of the kids while Penny was out.

"You guys stay right here. I need to call my parents to tell them I am staying over to help you out." She said, walking into the kitchen to retrieve the phone.

When she left, Megatron got from the recliner and shuffled towards Arcee. The autobots were worried he might do something rash. But to their and everyone's surprise, he only went by Arcee to sob alongside her. Massive tears broke from the once mighty warrior of Cybertron as he roared in sorrow. One by one the rest of them picked a part of Penny to cry over, everyone sobbing loudly and wailing. Bee and Starscream snuggled under her arms to cry in her chest. Breakdown and Knockout opted for her legs as they hugged them tightly. Bulkhead positioned himself into her abdomen. Optimus cried into her left arm while Ratchet did right. Dreadwing went to one of the side pillows closest to her body and cried. Soundwave clutched her hair tightly, tiny sobs escaping from behind his mask. Lazerbeak had tangled himself in her hair as well, chirping sadly at his fallen friend. Penny was unresponsive, not knowing that her children were suffering from their lost connection with her.

"Penny I miss you." Bee spoke quietly.

"I can't function without your love." Starscream said.

"You just have to get better." Bulkhead whispered.

"Fight whatever is keeping you down." Dreadwing urged.

"I miss how you always keep me clean." Knockout admitted.

"Who will hold me when I get scared?" Breakdown asked sadly.

"Chase me again please. Tell me to slow down." Smokescreen practically begged.

"Penny, you will live through this." Ratchet said.

"Penny: Best carrier ever. Soundwave: Wants her love again." Soundwave said in his real voice.

"My spark doesn't feel right with you in it." Arcee sobbed, her tears rolling faster.

"By the Allspark, don't go into the well just yet." Optimus cried, his optics misted with tears.

"Penny...you taught me what love feels like. I couldn't bare life without you in it." Megatron's chest heaved heavily. "If you can hear me, I want to apologize for anything I've done to hurt you or the others. I promise I'll be good! I want to change for your sake!"

Their cries continued throughout the night while Izzy watched them from the recliner. Her own face was caked with dry tears while she slept with them. All of them wanted the same thing. They had all united as one for the person that changed their lives.

A blue glow came from all their sparks as Penny's body started to glow as well. Somewhere in her heart, a connection was growing. A small faint light shone a bit as it called out for their sparks. An electric feeling ran throughout her body as she began to feel their emotions, their thoughts, their love for her. She saw their pasts, saw the pain and sorrow they had each gone through. For the first time ever, these little sparklings had formed a carrier bond with a human woman.

What they missed was her eyes opening up and the first words she uttered after the event.

"My dear sparklings..."


This concludes our Babysitting arc! Bet you didn't see that plot twist coming. I was crying most of the chapter writing this out. My heart doesn't like seeing children crying. Now that Penny knows what they are, what will happen now?

Until then: What kind of friends should the sparklings make in school?
