Several hrs. later, Brawn and I finally finished building Throttle's casket. We ended up all greasy due to the old invention spurting grease everywhere, including us.

"Man, I just took a shower. Maybe I should have waited 'til I was done here to take one", I said, as I wiped most of the grease out of my fur.

"It could have been worse, you know", Brawn said, wiping his hands and chest clean.

I looked at him. "Worse? How? I have this crap in my fur and it's going to take a miracle to get it all out", I said.

"Ok, so it's not worse than I thought it would be", said Brawn.

"At least the casket is built. Thanks for giving me a hand, Brawn. I don't think I could have done this alone. Not when I'm still hurting", I said.

"That's what friends are for, Wolf. I'm sorry you lost Throttle. While he was out on patrol with me, he talked about you. How much he loved you. How much he wanted to have children with you one day. He practically worshipped you", Brawn said.

I was shocked to hear how much my late husband praised me. I started crying cause I was so happy to hear these things.

"Why don't I take you to see Prime. Before Prowl comes to get you again", said Brawn.

Despite the short distance between Wheeljacks' workshop and my dad's office, I was still crying. I had no idea that Throttle had loved me that much until Brawn told me.

Brawn called my dad and told him that he was bringing me to his office. "Thank you, Brawn. I needed to speak with her, anyway. I also need to speak with you, as well", Prime said.

"Speaking to her is going to be a bit hard right now, Prime. She's real upset right now", Brawn said.

"Talking about Throttle is hard on her right now, but I'm glad she is talking about it. In time, she will have moved on despite the pain in her heart", said Optimus.

"I have to agree, Prime. I know what it's like to lose someone close", said Brawn.

"We'll talk more after you 2 get here. Prime out", he said. Then he cut the link with Brawn.

A few minutes later, both Brawn and I had arrived at my dad's office door. Brawn knocked and my dad let us in. My dad noticed that I was still crying when Brawn walked in with me in his arms.

"Let me take her, Brawn. You and I will talk tomorrow. Right now, I'm going to calm her down and talk with her alone. Thank you for bringing her to me. When do you go on duty?", asked Optimus.

"I have today off, Prime. Thought I might take in a movie in the city tonight. Thought I'd see if Windcharger would like to go with me", Brawn said.

"I hate to ask this, but could you take Wolf instead? I'm trying to get her to be around as many Autobots as I can while she's like this", Prime said.

"No problem, Prime. Looks like she needs some time away from here tonight, anyway. I'd be happy to take her with me", said Brawn.

"Thank you, Brawn. Dismissed", said Optimus.

Brawn nodded then left Prime's office.

Shortly after the door closed, Prime put me on his desk and then sat down in his chair. He activated his holoform on his own desk and sat down next to me. He held me 'til I was done crying.

I had wrapped my arms around his neck and quietly sobbed into his shoulder for a good hour longer. I was so upset earlier in Wheeljack's workshop. I had no idea that Brawn had taken me to see my dad in his office.

An hour later, I had stopped crying and looked at my dad in his holoform. He smiled at me. "Feeling better, sweetie?", Prime asked.

"A little. Where's Brawn? And how did I end up here?", I replied.

"Brawn brought you in. That's how you ended up here. I asked him to take you with him tonight. He's going to go see a movie in the city", said Optimus.

"I could use some time away tonight, but…", I started to say. I put my head down.

Prime lifted my head up with his hand and looked me in the eyes. "What's wrong, Wolf? I know it's been hard for you as of late, but you've not done much other than build his casket and drink. I'm worried you might do something stupid. I don't want to lose my baby girl. If you need to talk, you know you can always come to me. I'll always be here", Prime said.

"I know, dad. My heart feels so empty without him. I feel so alone. Like the world around me has crumbled to my feet. I don't think I can pick up the pieces of my broken heart. I could never love another man like I loved Throttle", I said.

"If I hadn't told you that you are my daughter, do you think you would have still married Throttle?", asked Optimus.

"Honestly, dad. I have no clue. Why you asking?", I replied.

"I know I shouldn't say this cause we're family, but I still have deep feelings for you like I did when we started dating", Prime said.

I was shocked to hear that out of my own father's mouth. "Really? Is that why you were asking if I would have still married Throttle?", I asked.

"Yes. I shouldn't have said anything. I know it's wrong to feel that way towards you cause you are my daughter", said Optimus.

"Since we're being honest with everything, I'll be honest with you. I still have deep feelings for you, as well. And you're my father. Besides, you shouldn't disappoint mom. You asked her to marry you and move into your room. I don't think she would like the scene walking into your room. 'I can't believe I'm seeing this! You're cheating on me with our daughter!' Yeah, that wouldn't look good", I said.

"Point made, but what do we do about our feelings for each other?", Prime asked.

"Talk to mom. Explain everything and pray she understands", I said.

"Wishful thinking, Wolf. She wasn't very understanding the first time around, what makes you think she will be understanding this time around?", asked Optimus.

"I don't. I'm just hoping and praying she is. I'll call her and let her know that you and I are coming to see her", I said. Then I pulled out my cell phone and dialed the Last Chance Garage number.

Last Chance Garage. Chicago, ILL. The phone was ringing and Harley was busy with a customer. "Carbine, could you get that, please? If it's another customer, take a message for me", Harley yelled.

"Sure Harley", Carbine yelled back. She had been in the back of the garage helping Silverdawn with the books when Harley asked her to handle the phone call.

"Last Chance Garage. Carbine speaking. How may I help you?", she asked.

"That was very professional, mom", I said.

"Wolf, sweetie! How are you? How's your father?", asked Carbine.

"We're both good. Mind if we come visit? We need to talk you about something important", I said.

" 'We?' You and your father?", Carbine asked.

"Yeah. Him and I have a problem and we need your help solving it", I said.

"Can Silverdawn and I get a ride back with you 2? I know she wants to say good-bye to Throttle", said Carbine.

"Let me ask dad first", I said.

"Ask me what?", Prime asked.

I took my cell away from my ear and covered the mouthpiece with my other hand.

"Mom wants to know if her and Silverdawn could get a ride back here. Silverdawn wants to say good-bye to her son. I told mom I'd ask you first", I said.

"I appreciate that you didn't make a decision right away before asking me. We'll see if your mother still wants to come with us after the 3 of us have a talk, but Silverdawn is welcome to come back with us", said Optimus.

"Thanks dad. I need to take another shower, so why don't you do what you need to do before we leave while I take my shower", I said.

Prime deactivated his holoform and offered his hand to me so I could get down on the floor.

"Just don't drink any more, ok. The twins drank all the time. I don't need you doing the same thing", Prime said.

I looked at my dad. "After what all I drank, I don't think I want to touch another alcoholic drink again, dad. Now, I'd like to go take my shower now. I'm all greasy", I said.

My dad put me down on the floor and buzzed me out of his office. After the door closed, he sighed. He couldn't get over how beautiful I am, despite being his daughter. Then he got an idea. He let it germinate in his mind for the day while he was working.

While I was taking my warm, relaxing shower, I heard someone walk into my room. "I thought I locked that door?", I said to myself.

I shrugged it off and finished taking my shower, then turned the water off. I went to grab the towel, but found it gone. I walked out of the shower still dripping wet and naked. "Alright, who took my towel? I want it back, damn it!", I yelled.

Prowl walked up to me in his holoform and handed me my towel back. "Was that really necessary, Prowl? I do like my privacy", I said, wrapping the towel around my body.

"I'm sorry about that, but I needed to see you. Prime said you were taking a shower, so I thought I would come by and talk with you", Prowl said.

"About…?", I asked.

"Sunny", said Prowl.

"You always catch me at a bad time, Prowl. I would love to sit here and talk about my beloved brothers, but I have to get ready. Dad and I are going to Chicago to see mom", I said.

Prowl sneered at me in disgust. "What is it with you? Every time I want to talk about Sunstreaker, you're always busy! For once, why don't you stop and think about how I feel about losing him!", Prowl yelled.

I was shocked to hear him yell at me. I never knew he had that kind of pent up aggression inside him. Guess I was wrong.

"I'm not going to deal with this issue or you right now, Prowl. Please leave so I can get ready to go", I said. I was very calm towards him and all he wanted to do was yell at me. That was until he pulled his weapon on me.

I laughed in his face. He got really pissed at me for laughing at him. "You're nothing but a coward, Prowl. Pulling a weapon on a high ranking soldier? I'm not just Optimus' daughter, I'm his 2IC, as well. So, I suggest you put that away right now or I'll have to call my dad in here. I don't wanna have to do that", I said.

Prowl didn't seem to care what I said, cause he started pulling the trigger. He shot at me but I just made it out of the way in time to see my bedroom get blown up. I looked at him in shock then turned it to rage. I had lost not only my bed, but some of the things that Throttle had in my closet, dresser drawers, and nightstands. I was royally pissed now. Those were the only things I had left of my late husband.

I went after him, towel and all, and speared him to the wall. I couldn't contain my rage any longer. I kept my anger bottled deep down inside me and found my outlet to let go. I didn't bother with the fact that my towel was slipping off my body at the moment. I was more concerned with beating the fuck out of Prowl.

He managed to call my dad in between hits.

My dad walked into my room in his holoform and saw me beating the holy fuck out of Prowl in his holoform. He wasn't happy, but after he saw why I was beating up Prowl, he understood, even though he didn't like what I was doing.

Prime had to peel me off Prowl and restrain me. Prowl got up and walked over to me. He gave me a sinister smile. I didn't like that look and neither did my dad. "Prowl, you are hereby confined to base until further notice. I will not have you attacking my daughter again", Prime said.

"She attacked me, Prime!", said Prowl. He was still pissed at me but more shocked that he got in trouble and I didn't.

"She contacted me after you did and told me that you pulled the trigger on her. She defended herself against you, therefore, she won't get reprimanded. Now leave her room and do not bother her again", said Optimus, releasing me.

After Prowl left, Prime asked me if I was alright. "Yeah, I'll be fine, I just don't have anything to wear now. Prowl destroyed everything in my room. Including the clothes that belonged to Throttle. I was going to give them to his mom when we get to Chicago, but now I can't", I said.

"Come on. I have something you might be able to wear 'til we get to Chicago. I don't want you walking around here with nothing on, even though you look even more beautiful without anything on at the moment", Prime said.

DAD!", I yelled in shock.

"I can't compliment on how beautiful you look? Despite the outcome with your mother, I still want us to be together, but not as father and daughter", said Optimus.

"And watch you break mom's heart? I don't think so. Telling her this will really push her over the edge and try to kill you", I said.

"Look deep down inside, Wolf. You know you want this as much as I do. Don't deny what your heart wants", Prime said.

I picked up the towel and wrapped it around myself again as I thought about what he just said. He was right. My heart did want to be with him, but not as his daughter. The only problem was that my mind told me it was wrong to feel like this towards my father.

I looked at my dad. I was so conflicted about this whole thing, I didn't know what to do or say.

He knew I was having a hard time with this. He put his hand over my heart, then closed his eyes. He could sense that deep down in my heart I did want this relationship with him but he also could tell that my mind was telling me not to go through with it. And that it was wrong.
