"Ratchet."

"Ratchet, look at me ... please."

Ratchet sighs while still walking as his dark chocolate eyes gaze up at the sky. "Maybe I don't want to talk with you, Prime."

Prime just stares at him. "You know my position in this story," he tries to explain while following him.

"Yeah, but you should also know mine," Ratchet reminds him while stopping and turning toward him. "Sooner or later he will know and-"

"I know ... I know but he will understand ... maybe," Prime tells him while stopping beside him. "Bumblebee is the best and will understand."

Ratchet shakes his head. "We betrayed him."

"No! It's not true we just-" Prime replies while searching for the right words to say but he seems unable to find them. "Sam is carrying something precious for us ... and both the factions wants it, we have to protect him."

Ratchet nods. "But you know that sooner or later he will come to understand this whole crazy situation."

"Yeah, I know."

"Let's face it, Prime! He's avoiding us like he's sensing something is going on," Ratchet says while staring at Prime.

"The boy came alone," Prime nods to himself. "Yeah, surely Bee knows something or at least suspects something."

"But it's normal!" Ratchet hisses. "Robots can't get humans pregnant."

"In the end it was an idea of yours," Prime remind him.

"Don't blame me!" Ratchet yells. "You could have stopped me; instead you just pushed me into more ... into doing what I did to him." Prime remains in silence while glaring at him, his blue eyes on Ratchet ... following every little movement that he's making. "You see? Your silence is enough for me."

"They are coming," Prime tells him. "We shouldn't talk about these things."

"But let's face it, Prime, Bumblebee is going to go mad if he discovers what we did ... what happened," Ratchet replies while shaking his head. "We need him with us ... not with them!"

"What do you want me to do, Ratchet?" Prime yells exasperated. "Because, really, I don't know what to do. Maybe we should wait and see what happens then react depending on what he does."

Ratchet nods. "You know my position in this whole story-"

"I love you no matter what, Ratchet, and I will not let you down," Prime whispers while capturing his lips. "I love you no matter what," he repeats against his lips.

Ratchet sighs while cupping the strong jaw of his lover, "I love you, too, but maybe ... maybe we went too far."

"It's too late, Ratchet ... just trust in me and we'll find a way to make it work," Prime softly tells him while kissing him again with more passion. "Don't look at me with such eyes and don't blame yourself."

His lover sighs while leaning against the older. "Don't leave me because I would be lost without you," he whispers against his chest.

"Never," Prime reassures him. "Let's go back to the base."

Ratchet nods while letting Optimus Prime ... his leader ... his lover, lead him toward the base camp ... hand in hand ... and a little smile appears on his face as he's staring at the broad shoulders of his lover ... he knows that he will find a naughty way to just forget ... even if only temporarily about this story.

Sam sips a bit of coke as he stares at his lover all taken up in reading the list of groceries that he wrote a moment ago. "It's really simple, Bee," he says while secretly grinning at the raised eyebrows of his Bee.

"I ... I never did this alone," Bee turns toward him with huge eyes.

"There's always a first time, Bee," Sam reminds him.

"Why you can't come with me?" he asks while shifting his arctic eyes from Sam to the list and then back.

"I told you that my new friend Friz is coming," Sam replies, "and then outside is fucking cold ... do you want me to-"

"No. Ok, I'm going," Bee sighs as he stares at him pouting. "But there are things that I've never seen or knew existed."

"Just use the web and you'll learn what you have to buy," Sam reminds him.

"Ok, Sam. So let's recap what I have to do ... first take a basket and then shop and ... and then I have to go to the counter and pay, yes?" he repeats while counting each phase on the tip of his fingers.

"Yes, Bee."

"This is more fucking difficult than kicking Decepticon ass," he breathes out while putting on his jacket.

Sam shakes his head. "Hey, look at me you grim man," he smiles and Bee sighs turning toward him.

"I really love you, Sam ... because I never thought that me, a robot, would go out to shop at the drug store," he says as Sam rises on the tips of his bare toes to kiss him ... his large belly against Bee's stomach and he moans softly. "If you ... if you keep kissing me in this way I think that I will not be able to go out."

"Hmmm, interesting but ... still we need to eat ... me and your son," Sam smiles while caressing his belly. "So come on, you lazy Camaro, go out."

"Ok," he sighs but as he's pushing him out into the garden Bee quickly turns and kisses him again while whispering that he loves him.

After few minutes Friz enters the garden while looking around suspiciously ... he stops in front of the open garage and for a long moment he looks in it.

"Friz?" Sam calls him and he jumps startled by his voice.

"Oh ... oh, sorry Ssssam," he smiles while entering. "I ... I was just loooooking ... bbbbeautiful house."

"Thanks, my parents are really proud of it," Sam says while inviting him to go upstairs.

Friz sits on the bed as he keeps looking around him ... his eyes widening as he sees Bee's yellow hoodie lying on a chair.

"Do you want something?" Sam asks.

"No ... noooo thanks," Friz replies while not tearing away his cold azure eyes from the hoodie. "Are you living with someone else ... eheh, because that hoodie isn't yours."

Sam turns to stare at Bee's hoodie. "Ehm, no ... it's from a friend."

Friz nods but there's a strange light inside his azure eyes. As quickly as it came it goes. "It's good to have someone beside you."

Sam slowly nods. "Ok, so let me see your homework so I can fix it for you," he tells him while sitting at his desk.

"Yessss ... it's s ... Spanish. Please, have a ... a looook," he asks while handing Sam his notebook.

"Ok," Sam replies while flipping through the pages.

Friz lowers his gaze toward Sam's belly but raising his eyes he finds Sam staring at him with questioning eyes. "I ... I like ... your t – shirt," he grins.

"Oh, thanks," Sam replies while chewing his bottom lip. "Now, please shush and let me read these translations."

Friz nods as he walks toward the window to stare outside ... like he's searching for something. "Mikaela is your girlfriend?" he asks.

"No," Sam chuckles putting down a pen. "She's just a good friend of mine."

Friz nods as his eyes return to stare at Sam's belly noticing how it is round and full of life ... yeah, full of life ... he licks his lips while thinking.

"Ok done!" Sam smiles while returning the notebook to the boy. "I didn't find any errors."

"T ... thanks, Sam," he smiles but as he's walking toward his backpack he freezes then races to stare outside. "I ... I have to go."

Sam raises an eyebrow while trying to understand what's going on. "What?"

"Yeah ... yeah, my father ... wa ... wants me to go back home ... I ... I have to do ... ssssome stuff," he babbles with wide eyes as he rushes to grab his backpack. "Thanks, Ssssam!"

"Wait!" Sam calls him but he's faster than him as he rushes downstairs. "Friz."

Sam finally manage to get out in the garden and he sees Bee slamming shut the drivers door then walking toward him while carrying two grocery bags. "Hey, Sam," he smiles.

Sam kisses him then looks around noticing that there isn't any trace of Friz. "So, care to show me the boy?" Bee asks while entering inside.

"He just left ... or better yet ran away," Sam says while closing the door. "He was acting really strange."

Bee shrugs. "Ok, maybe next time, Sam."

"Yeah," he replies while following him. "Let me see if you bought the right things."

He nods. "Yeah, have a look."

Sam chuckles while tossing a bag of chips to him. "I didn't ask for chips."

"Ah, no?" he asks surprised.

"Yeah, I'm more than sure, Bee," Sam says while shaking his head.

"Oh, sooner or later you'll have one of your infamous cravings," he shrugs while leaning with his elbows on the table.

"If you say so," Sam replies, "and why did you buy honey?"

"Simple! Because it's healthy," he grins, "and I read that bees-"

"Ok ... ok, Bee," Sam shushes him. "I believe you."

He nods grinning and as Sam's about to lean forward to kiss him he freezes while staring over his shoulder.

"Sam?" he hears his mom call.

He turns toward her as Bee stands up from the chair where he was sitting. "Sam, what you were doing?" she asks walking toward them with a strange expression.

"Mom, I ... I-"

"He's your boyfriend?" she asks point - blank but Sam can see that she's trembling ... holding herself.

"Yes ... he's Bumblebee," Sam tells her. "Mom, he's my car ... you know, one of the Autobots."

She nods while briefly closing her eyes. "I suspected that he'd found a way to mix with humans."

Sam nods not daring to talk. "Maybe it would be better if we have a talk, Sam," she tells him.

"Sam, I-"

"No, go, Bee ... just leave us alone, please," he says even if he senses that Bee doesn't want to leave but he does what he's asked as Sam stares at him walking outside ... then Sam raises his eyes toward her.

"How long?" she asks coldly.

"Since the end of the war," he whispers while chewing his lips.

She takes a long breath. "He's an alien ... a robot."

"I know."

"But, Sam, what life do you wish to have with him?" she asks slamming her hands flat on the table. "He's a man and above all a giant robot."

"Mom, I know what Bumblebee is and-"

"And what, Sam?" she cries out. "How can you justify what you two have?"

"I can fucking justify what we have ... I love him and he loves me," Sam yells out.

"Don't you dare yell at me ... I'm still your mother and there is no way that you love him, Sam... he just forced you or-"

"Don't say that. He didn't force me to do anything," Sam barks out. "He loves and respects me."

"But still, Sam, he's an alien."

"I don't care."

"You should because it's my fault that this craziness happened," she yells while throwing her hands up in the air.

"What?"

"I should have got rid of that car," she cries out. "I sensed that he was a danger for you."

"Bee is not a danger for anybody."

"You let him fuck you!" she yells while glaring at him.

"I know and I fucking love it," he hisses. "Don't you dare come between us."

"You are still my son," she barks out. "I don't want you to see him again."

Sam shakes his head, "You can't do that."

"Yes, I can Sam."

"I love him. Don't you understand?" he yells as tears start to slide down his cheeks. "I love him, Mom, more than anything ... he's ... he's my Bee."

She yells out. "Oh, Sam!"

"You don't want to see, eh Mom?" he cries out while hastily wiping away my tears. "Look at me, Mom, because you are pretending to be blind."

"Shut up, Sam!" she yells pushing him away.

"I'm pregnant, Mom," he hisses while raising his sweater. "He got me pregnant."

She sniffs while staring at his large belly. "How could you ... he-" she cries out desperately.

"He loves me."

"He's a sick pervert, Sam!" she cries out. "You are a teen ... you are a boy and that fucking robot did something to your body."

"If you don't want him ... I can't stay here," Sam whispers while staring at her. "I can't live without him and right now I need him ... we need him so much."

She shakes her head. "You are pregnant ... and he's an alien what will you give birth to, Sam?"

He caresses his belly. "He will be perfect like his father."

"Bumblebee is an alien, Sam ... he's a machine."

"I know, Mom. Look I-"

"He ruined your life ... that robot ... I want you to leave him," she tells him while grabbing his wrists.

"No, I love him!" Sam yells stepping back. "Can't you understand, Mom, that what we have is precious to me ... to us?"

"I could stand knowing that you were gay but, Sam, you are pregnant and he's an alien ... for me this is craziness," she cries while rubbing her forehead, "and it's even too late to get rid of that thing inside you."

"That thing is my son!" he cries out. "He's a being ... a new life that is growing inside me and I'm not going to give up on him or on Bee," Sam says as hot tears keep sliding down his flushed cheeks. "I know that it's not simple to understand, Mom, but I'm sure about what I'm doing," he tells her while rubbing his belly.

"You don't want to see what you are doing to yourself, Sam. What that bastard did to you," she hisses while pointing her finger toward him. "You can't call what you have normal because it's not usual for a boy to get pregnant ... he's a damned alien, Sam!"

"I know," he replies. "You don't need to repeat it over and over."

Judy wails while walking away ... she just wants to be alone, her Sam is pregnant ... her Sam is going to become a ... a what? A mother ... she wonders while wiping away her tears ... her Sam is so little ... so innocent, he didn't have to rush things and burn all ... he's still too young to have a child and that machine who got him pregnant ... Judy shivers at the thought of her son carrying Bumblebee's son ... how would he be ... what he would be, she wonders while walking outside as chill air makes her shiver more and then ... then she sees him ... a rage mounting inside her mind, making her blind because it's his fault that her little son was reduced to that state.

"You fucking pervert!" she cries out while throwing herself against Bee. "You ruined him," she keeps yelling while punching him and Bee just stares at her without raising a finger.

"How could you ruin my son?" she yells slapping him. "You told me that you would protect him not fuck and get him pregnant."

"I ... I know Mrs," he whispers as his antennae lowers down like a beaten dog ... he swore to not hurt humans ... it's an order, Prime's order.

"He's still young," she hiccups while her pale fingers grab Bee's hoodie. "He's still a boy ... so little ... he doesn't know anything about life."

Bee goes to embrace her as she's crying. "I will never hurt him."

"Don't touch me!" she yells pushing him away. "I don't know what you did to my son ... and I want to hate you so much for what you did to him," she hisses while glaring at him. "But he needs you ... I know that he would be lost without you and I've seen what happens to him when you are far away from him."

"I beg you to forgive me ... I failed to protect him," Bee whispers softly.

"You bastard, how could you?" she yells. "I should have not allowed Sam to keep seeing you bastards."

"Sam is safe with me," Bee hisses while locking up his strong jaw.

"You got him pregnant!" she points out. "Mark my words, Bee, he's my son ... my life, and you will not ruin him," she glares at him menacing. "He trusts in you ... don't make me come after you," she says. "It would be better if you would just leave him."

"I can't. You were the one telling me a moment ago that he needs me," Bee hisses.

"I know but Sam is still young and easy to influence."

"I never played any trick on him, nor did I force him into something that he didn't want to do," Bee barks out. "He loves me for who I am."

"A robot."

"I know but I'm more than that!"

"Oh yes, you are what? A machine ... an alien? What Bumblebee? Tell me what you are ... what's your true nature?"

"I will not leave him."

"You should, Bumblebee ... you really should reflect on what you can give him," she coldly tells him. "Let's face it, you can't give him a normal life," and with that she walks away disappearing inside the house.

Bumblebee remains in silence for a long moment while his system is processing what Sam's mother told him a moment ago ... and even if he doesn't want to admit to himself, he knows that what she told him is true ... what can he give to Sam and to his son ... what future can he give to his beloved human? He shakes his head while walking toward the yellow Camaro parked inside the garage ... his fingers slide easily on the polished hood ... cold hood ... cold like his being, his nature, because he can be a perfect reproduction of a human but still he's not a human ... and he will never be that.

Absently he slides inside the car ... he's a machine, he was born like that ... just a piece of cold metal and now he can't pretend to be a real man, a real human, because it's not his true nature and Sam's mother was right ... what can he give to Sam and above all what is Sam carrying inside his body?

He yells out his agony while slamming his hand on the dashboard ... fuck him and what he did ... why did he fall in love with Sam? He should have listen to Prime and what he was trying to say to him ... don't get too involved with the human, Bee ... don't ask for more ... remember your place and what you are. Instead he was just too stubborn to listen to his leader ... he was right ... he was right about everything ... he shouldn't have allowed himself to fall in love with Sam ... Prime sent him as his guardian not as his new lover!

"She's right. I ruined Sam," he cries out then with a rumble of his perfect advanced engine he's out ... racing far away from Sam.
