Okay I can understand that you all can hate me but for whatever reason I have I just didn't feel the need to update this story until now. It was also a letdown when no one could figure out my challenge. So I hope you all enjoy this new chapter and hope to get some reviews for it. Please be mad at me and not my story. It didn't do anything to deserve your hate. R&R please.

I watched with adoration as Jessie flew around the room, giggling the whole time, as she rode on Airazor's back. Jason was playing hide and seek with Cheetor and Tigertron and appeared to be winning it as well. Or they could be letting Jason win. We were in a small wooded area next to the volcano. We would come here on occasion to let the children play. Prime was keeping an eye on the hospital where the children's mother was at. We were waiting for the day that they would go back to their mother. I knew it would be hard to let them go but it wasn't safe for them to be with us. Prowl had finally found their mother but she had been injured in the attack. A lot of people were without their identities at the moment so it had been a while before locating which hospital she had been at.

A light thud brought me out of my musings. Little Jessica looked to be pretty tired after her ride with Airazor. She curled up next to me on the blanket and was asleep within minutes. Airazor and I watched the mechs as they continued their hunt for Jason. He was either really good or the guys were letting him win. My comm. Link went off just as Jason jumped out of his tree to land on Tigertron. As the others laughed I turned to listen to who had called.

-This is Moonmist.-

-It's Prime. We got a call from the hospital.-

-Is it about the children's mother?-

-Yes it is. She's made a full recovery. Since their home was destroyed she plans to move her family to her father's home in California.-

-We'll head to the hospital immediately.-

-We could take them if you want?-

-No. I wish to be the one to take them. I'm sure Cheetor would agree with me.-

-Understood. We'll see you when you get home.-

-Airazor and Tigertron will be joining us as well.-

-Do want some Autobot backup in case Megatron tries something?-

-That would be nice.-

-I'll send the twins with Jazz and Bluestreak.-

-Much obliged.-

I turned my comm. Link off and saw they were all staring at me. I smiled at them as I nudged Jessie awake. I turned to Cheetor once she had sat up.

"The children's mother has made a full recovery. She is waiting for them at the hospital. Prime is sending us some escorts so we'd better leave now."

I could tell the others could hear my disappointment at saying goodbye to the kids but we had always known we couldn't keep them. Airazor put Jessie up on my back as Jason climbed up onto Cheetor. We set off on a soft gait so Tigertron and Airazor could keep up with us. Once we hit the road we picked up the pace as we spotted some sports cars up ahead.

They opened their doors for us and we gladly jumped in. Jessie and I jumped into Sideswipe's back seat. I watched as Jason and Cheetor climbed into Jazz and Airazor and Tigertron got into Bluestreak. They all closed their doors before taking off into the city. Jessie looked over every inch of Sideswipe. I heard his snickers when she touched a sensitive spot. Once we got into the city she looked over at all the buildings and watched all the people go about their business.

Once we reached the entrance doors the kids had calmed down to the point of barely moving. They knew that once they walked into through those hospital doors they would most likely never see us again. And it was breaking my spark just as much. Cheetor was watching me from Jazz's window knowing exactly how I felt. I looked down as Jessie wrapped her small arms around my neck.

"I'm gonna miss you Moon."

I placed my paw on her shoulder and let her cry on my shoulder. I could imagine Cheetor was having just as a hard time with Jason. The two Autobots opened their doors and we crawled out with the kids. Jessie was refusing to let go of me so I kept my thoughts to themselves and walked into the hospital with a small girl on my back. I looked to see Cheetor in a similar predicament.

We ignored all the strange and fearful looks we were getting and the children didn't seem to care about them either. We already knew what floor she was on but it didn't matter because she came waltzing out of the elevator with a nurse right behind her. They both stopped to stare as when they saw us but the children's mother only had eyes for her kids.

"JASON! JESSIE!"

The kids looked up at their mother's voice before scrambling down off our forms and racing to their mother. She held her arms open wide and closed them in a tight hug once they were in. I smiled sadly as I watched the family reunion. A nudge told me it was time to leave but we had barely turned to head out when a shout made us turn again.

The kids ran over to give us one last hug but it was their mother who surprised everyone. She knelt down as well to give Cheetor and myself a hug as well. I could see her eyes shining with tears as she pulled away.

"Thank you for taking care of my babies and for saving my son's life. You are more than welcome to come visit us in our new home any time you want. It's only fair that my children get to see you every once in a while."

My face lit up with happiness at the prospect of still being able to see the children. Cheetor gave a happy sigh while the kids gave a loud cheer before rushing forward with another hug. As we walked them out of the hospital I thought of what our plans would include now. None of us were ship builders. Are best bet would be to hope that when we finally got into our old base was get a message out to be careful before the others met the same fate as us.

Once the small family had gotten in the car and drove off we waited for the Autobots to come pick us up. We were real surprised when Bluestreak pulled and started speaking extremely fast.

"You've got to hurry and get in. We got a message from Prime that another ship has appeared but we can't figure out who it is or how to answer them back. We need to get back to base pronto because Red Alert is freaking out that it may be Decepticons but Prowl and Prime are trying to keep him from panicking too much but it doesn't seem to be working and Ratchet is just thinking of sedating him but Inferno isn't too pleased about that and some of the other bots are getting close to butting heads or fists in this case and…"

"Okay Blue I think we get it. Let's head back to base."

Cheetor looked just a little bit dazed at the sudden rush of words or he was a little sick on who it was that was incoming. He slowly crawled into Jazz before lying down for a snooze on his seats.

(Inside Jazz- Cheetor)

As we raced back to base I could feel a sense of oncoming doom. The possibility that the ones coming in could be in danger made me sick to my tanks. I cared for my fellow beat warriors immensely and respected them a lot but there were times I felt that the day where we could lose someone permanently always made my spark hurt. Sure I knew this is what I was trained for just like everyone else. But with this new information Moon and I got I was afraid of losing someone before we could tell them the truth.

I looked up as we stopped outside the entrance to the ARK. Jazz opened his door to let me out and waited for the others before heading inside with my mate right beside me. Once we reached the communications room we could understand why Blue was in a hurry to get back to base. It was a madhouse in here. I let out one of my roars to get all of their attention.

"You wanted us here for something?"

Prime stepped forward.

"It seems we have another ship but we don't know if it's for you or not. We've tried to contact them ourselves but were unable to so it might be for you."

I looked over at Moonmist and watched as she nodded to the others before walking to the console and started looking over everything before typing a few things. When she flicked her tail at me I got the headset on and started typing my code. Once another code appeared Moonmist took a long look at before turning to look at me with a smirk. My spark filled with dread.

"It's Bird-dog and probably Legs as well."

I gave a huge sigh of relief before turning to the console and turning on the communications line.

-This is 3855201518 to 19912225182151220. Please respond.-

It was static for a few seconds came on but it wasn't Silverbolt's voice that spoke.

-I'm sorry but Silverbolt had to step out for a moment but I would be happy to give him your message.-

It was the voice of Megatron.

I hope you all enjoyed my new chapter. Please leave a nice a review and I might update quicker.
