(OC POV)
After telling her the whole story about me dying and then being reborn in this body, I took a deep breath and prayed to Primus that my mother would still be my mother. All was quiet for a few minutes as she looked away from me with a frown on her features, my optics off lining as I realized she would probably call me crazy and have me on lock-down. More minutes passed by with no word or noise from her and my processor started going crazy, thinking up scenarios that wouldn't go over well for me and in the end be exactly what I don't want.
"Well...this is...surprising." she murmured finally after what felt like hours of tense silence in the suffocating room, my optics widening as I turned to see her watching me with a sharp calculating gaze.
"You believe me?" I gasped out as my bright optics widened with obvious wonder at her thoughtful answer, a soft smile coming to her lip components as she stroke my audios with a gentle servo.
"I always knew there was something special about you, considering your father and I didn't fully sparkbond until I was already carrying you." she whispered as she rested the same servo on my knee joints as she looked down, my own optics looking away from her as a thought came to my mind and burst from me.
"Here I thought you would disown me..." I said with a small voice as I gathered my legs to my chest plates in an attempt to look smaller, a silent grunt leaving me as her arms wrapped around me and pulled me into her warm frame.
"Oh my sparkling, no matter who you used to be, you will always be my sparkling." she whispered out in a soothing tone as she rocked me the way she always did when I was upset, a grateful sob leaving me as my raging emotions from the stressing day finally broke my dam.
"You don't know how much that means so me mother..." I gasped out between sobs as my body shook in the strong embrace she held me in, my door hissing open to admit my uncle whom I realized heard the whole thing through my mom.
"Skystreak: still my little sweetspark." he said before he sat on the other side of me and laid his visor against my helm softly, a deep rumbling coming from his chest that soothed me as his servo laid on the small of my back.
"I love you guys!" I gasped out before I threw my quivering self into my uncle's arms not a moment later, Soundwave shifting to cradle me to his chest as the rumble continued once again.
"Calm, my sweet sparkling, calm." my mother said as she moved into the circle of my uncle's embrace along with me, rubbing my back soothingly as she rested her helm on top of my shoulder with a soft humming.
"I miss Daddy." I whispered after an hour of them working to calm me down with techniques they've used for years, my mother laughing softly as my uncle merely nuzzled my helm and gathered me closer to him.
"We all do my spark, we all do." she said softly before resting her helm on her brother's shoulder near my own helm, us both leaning into the warmth and calmness that he constantly provided for us.

"Can't catch me, slowpoke!" I yelled out as I skidded around and corner and barreled past a few cleaning drones, a indignant yelp following as I heard somebot crash into the drones I just went through.
"Skystreak: desist." I heard my uncle right before I crashed into his chest plates and landed on my aft, a sheepish look coming to my features as I rubbed my helm and looked up at him.
"My bad." I simply said before I felt myself get tackled by the bot that was currently chasing me, a huff leaving me as I fought to get the upper hand and keep my prize away from his digits.
"Mine! Give it!" Skywarp said as he held me down and reached for my free servo holding his datapad, a gasp leaving me as I felt my uncle take it from my grasp before it disappeared.
"Sparklings: desist." my uncle said quietly as he turned and walked away back to his station in the bridge, Skywarp staring at his departure with disbelieving optics before he looked down to glare at me.
"You!" he growled out which I took as my cue and scrambled away from him before running like pit, hearing his angry pedesteps follow me as I tried to lose him in the maze-like hallways. Once again I ran into chest plates but this time I managed to keep myself on my pedes, looking way up to lock gazes with Thundercracker's amused ruby optics.
"Hide me!" I whispered out before I spun to put my back against his own and hoped I was hidden, hearing as Skywarp slowed down to a stop in front of him with his intakes whirring.
"Have ya seen the little brat?" he said with an irritated tone as labored breaths left his lip components with a wheeze, my optics rolling at his dramatics before I felt Thundercracker cross his arms over his chest plates.
"Yeah, I'm looking at him." he said and just by his tone I could tell he had a smug smirk on his lip components at the comeback, an annoyed huff leaving Skywarp and I could practically hear his optics roll in retaliation.
"If ya see the little heiress, comm. me please. We need to...discuss some things." I heard the seeker say before he moved to pass Thundercracker as he muttered quietly, my pedes quickly keeping me out of his sight by moving to the front of my adopted brother.
"You owe me." I heard the deep southern twang rumble from above me as I peeked to see if Skywarp was gone, my optics immediately moving up to gratefully lock gazes with my savior of the week.
"Don't I always?" I said with a cheeky grin before I took off in the opposite way Skywarp was headed, hoping to find my uncle before the angry warping seeker figured out how to find me.
(Soundwave's POV)
I looked at yet another attempt Prime made to establish radio contact with Skystreak, a frown coming to my features behind my visor as I yet again deleted it before it was seen.
~Perhaps they wish to have her see Sunstreaker again.~ I heard my sister say from the bond as I finally registered her presence beside me, my helm tilted towards her slightly before I focused on completely erasing the transmission.
~Perhaps.~ I sent back before I focused on the troop reports once again, my secondary processor trying to figure out why exactly they want to talk to her.
