~~~dream

Ratchet dragged his pedes across the floor and slumped down onto the couch. He had lost him. The once bright, blue spark had gone out. Tiny predesteps were followed by larger ones. Ratchet looked towards his children. The triplets climbed up into his lap.

"Carrier, where's swire?" asked Skylar.

"He's gone my dear," said Ratchet.

"Gone? Why? Is he coming back?" asked Ironfrost.

"No, your sire isn't coming back. He's... his spark went up with Primus," Ratchet answered.

"Who's Primus?" asked Trailblazer.

"Let's not talk of this right now. Carrier's tired," Ratchet said.

The medic moved the triplets and went to his room. He locked the door and too out a cube of the strongest High Grade that Sunstreaker knew how to make. He swallowed a large amout and sat on his berth. He tired so hard to save him.

"Oh 'Hide," Ratchet whispered, "I wish you were here."

"IRONHIDE!"

The black mech looked down at his chest. A long knife was embedded really deep, almost to the handle. The large purple mech in front of him smirked. Energon gushed from the wound. Ratchet ran forward, but was tackled down. A heavy frame pressed down on his lower back. Ratchet screamed as the strut of his back snapped. Ironhide looked to the side at his mate before he fell backwards. Ratchet pushed the mech off of him with his struggling body.

He tried to get to his pedes, but couldn't. He couldn't even feel his legs or anything from the waist down. Fear struck his spark. He was paralyzed. Ratchet pushed the thought away and crawled towards his mate. He could feel him struggling to stay online through the bond. Once he reached the dying mech, he grabbed a servo and placed the other on his chest.

"R-ratch," Ironhide whispered. "You're hurt."

"I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about," said Ratchet.

Ironhide chuckled softly. He reached up and cupped Ratchet's cheek. He thumbed the tears away.

"It's alright Ratch," said Ironhide.

"No it isn't. You're dying," said Ratchet. "What will I tell our children? Your daddy isn't coming home ever again. He was killed by a psychotic mech."

"Well not that way, but tell them the truth. They deserve to know. Have Kup or Orion or Megatron help explain it. I'll miss you and our children, but also the family we've grown into as Team Prime," Ironhide muttered. "And most importantly, I love you all."

Ratchet slumped forward from the pain and passed out. Ironhide rested a servo on his mate's back. His spark guttered out. Ratchet woke up again when he felt himself lifted and rolled somewhere. He saw Knock Out, Breakdown, and First Aid wheeling him to an operation room.

"Knock... Out," Ratchet whispered.

"Shh... don't talk. We'll take care of you," the red medic said.

"And 'Hide?" asked Ratchet.

"He's gone. Died before we got there," said Breakdown.

"Starscream is also here. He was the one that called us," said First Aid. "Now rest. We'll take care of your injuries."

~~~end dream

Ratchet opened his optics and sat up, stretching his aching back. He glanced over at his mate, placing a kiss on his forehelm before leaving to his shift.

~~~at school

"Do you have to go wig wrother?" asked Skylar.

"Yes I do," said Optimus.

"Can we see swire after you pwick us up?" asked Ironfrost.

"Yes we can go visit sire. Maybe you three can help wake him up," said Optimus. "Go on. I'll be back to pick you up later on."

"Bye wig wrother," Trailblazer said.

"Goodbye little ones," said Optimus.

The triplets ran inside of their classroom. The teacher came out and closed the door. She was pink with a few green highlights.

"Good morning Starlite," Optimus greeted.

"Morning Prime. I heard what happened to your sire. Is he alright?" asked Starlite.

"He is in a deep stasis. Knock Out isn't sure if he will wake up," said Optimus.

"I'm sure he will. He has wonderful children," said Starlite before leaving to teach the class.

Optimus hummed and left to go meet his mate. Kup was watching the twins for a the day while they figured out what was going on with the terrorists. It was a tough puzzle to solve and could take weeks.

~~~hospital

"Come on Soundwave, do one more big push for me," said Ratchet. "Just one more and she'll be here."

Soundwave grunted in pain as he gave one last big push. The sparkling slipped out of his valve and into Ratchet's waiting servos. The medic cleaned off the sparkling before wrapping her up in a blanket and handing her to her creator while he cleaned up.

"She's a healthy femme," said Ratchet.

"She's beautiful Blaster," Soundwave whispered. "Look, she has your optics."

The little femme indeed have her sire's optics. The were a bright blue glow. Her face was a soft grey. The rest of her body was blue/black with yellow highlights.

"Her name shall be Serenade," said Blaster.

"Perfect," said Soundwave.

"An excellent name Blaster. It suites her well," said Ratchet.
