Being a Family

3. Telling the Family

"Daddy, poppa, time to wake up. Why do you sleep so much today?", wondered Annabelle.

The blonde sat on her parents' bed, her tiny arms crossed in front of her chest, a confused look adoring her cute features. Will yawned and blinked at his daughter, Ironhide beside him stirred, grumbling something underneath his breath.

"Huh?", was all the Bot said.

"Uncle Robert send me to wake you up! Dinner is ready", announced the little angel.

She jumped back down from the bed and ran out of the bedroom, leaving her fathers alone. Will looked around, confused. Where was Sam...? Or had it been, after all, just a dream, too? He and Hide got dressed in silence, both wondering the same thing but not daring to ask, scared of the possible answer. They linked hands and left their bedroom, descending the stairs.

"Hide, I was wondering, was it a...", voiced Will slowly once they reached the kitchen.

His question died at the tip of his tongue upon seeing the scene that took place in their kitchen. Annabelle was wearing her apron, deep pink with frills and 'kiss the house-daughter' written on it. She hummed happily, bringing plates to the dining room, her pigtails bobbing with every step she took. At the hearth, heating the food Will had spend the morning with cooking, stood none other than Samuel James Witwicky, wearing a too long jeans and a too big shirt, sliding down over his shoulder, showing the hickeys Hide and Will had left there. He turned around with a smile, showing that he was also wearing an apron. No, not any apron. The one that got along with Annabelle's, both joke-presents from Epps a long time ago. Equally pink with frills, stating to 'kiss the house-wife'. Sam tugged at the shirt annoyed.

"Why are you guys so much taller than me?", complained Sam.

He wanted to start a rant about how he couldn't find any even remotely fitting clothes in their closet, just to be interrupted by two strong pairs of arms wrapping themselves around him, engulfing him in a tight, secure hug. Sam laughed softly at that.

"What's wrong with you?", wondered the brunette.

"I thought it was a dream", said both his lovers at the same time.

"Aw, now you're being cute", chuckled the younger one. "I've been awake for half an hour already and started heating the food after Robert started to complain that barbecue at Morshower's wasn't very satisfying. He's in the living room, watching the game. You, go, be good company to him. The princess and I will finish the food. We'll get you once it's finished."

Dumbfounded by the fact that Sam was standing in their kitchen and finishing dinner for them, they just nodded and went to the living room. Epps sat on the couch, waving them with a sly grin.

"You got yourself quite the housewife there", chuckled the black skinned man.

"Uhu, but he looks hot in that apron", agreed Hide.

"Oh, not again!", groaned Robert. "The poor boy is limping enough as it is. Give him a break or you're gonna break him. I mean, seriously, did you fuck his brains out the whole time Annabelle and I have been away? You have to take it easier with the kid, he's wincing at every step he takes."

"Don't give us that", mumbled Will with an uncharacteristic blush covering his cheeks. "It's not like he protested much or anything. He's been just as horny."

"Whatever", laughed Epps, shaking his head in amusement. "But I really want to be witness when you two explain to an overprotective Camero why his charge is walking funny. Oh, or better yet, when you explain to Judith that you seduced her poor, innocent baby boy!"

Robert seemed to have much fun just thinking about the possible ways his two friends would receive the beatings of their lives. But Will and Hide still lost remarkably color at the prospect of Judy Witwicky and her baseball bat from hell. Whenever Sam even as much as gets a scratch during a mission or anything, she'd even scare Optimus Prime away.

"Boys, food's ready!", announced Sam.

The three soldiers got up, Epps turned the television off and they entered the dining room. Will and Hide winced as they saw how unsteady Sam was really walking. The major took the pot out of Sam's hands while Hide gripped the narrow hips and guided the boy slowly to the table. Will sat the pot down and hurried to get a big, soft pillow from the living room, laying it down on the seat at the head of the table just in time for Hide to push their mate down onto the stool. Sam whimpered silently, and not in the good way he did in the bedroom.

"Sorry, mate", whispered Hide and brushed his lips over Sam's.

"What's wrong with mommy?", asked Annabelle concerned.

"Nothing, princess. No need to worry", smiled Sam at her.

Hide and Will sat on either side of the brunette, loading the plates of everyone at the table with food. The little group started eating in peace, until the doorbell rang. Annabelle ran to the door and came back with a blonde young male at her hand.

"We were just starting to eat! I could get you some energon from poppa if you want to stay, uncle Bee", suggested the girl.

"I didn't plan on staying. Sam left for your place this morning and didn't come back ever since. I've been wondering...", declined Bee.

The yellow Autobot went silent as he laid eyes upon the boy he had been searching. Anger flared inside his chest and he growled annoyed.

"You could have at least called, Samuel!"

"I'm sorry, Bee. But it's news to me that I owe you an explanation as to where I'm spending my day. I'm a grown boy and it's not like there's any danger in Cybertron City."

Bee crossed his arms and scowled, his eyes drifting over to Ironhide and his scowl deepened. The blonde opened his mouth to make a nasty comment, but he was silenced by a poke to his chest. He blinked down at Sam in confusion, the boy looked majorly annoyed, even though he stood quite wobbly on his legs.

"Don't you dare", hissed the brunette and grabbed his protector's arm, leading him out of the house, the door closing with a bang. Annabelle looked confused and sat down again. The adults on the other hand stood up and crept to the door, trying to eavesdrop.

"You are not having one of your jealousy-issues in front of Annabelle!"

"I don't know what you mean, Sam", mumbled Bee.

"You do know. We both know. I have put up with your possessive-jealous behavior for the longest time now, because you are my best friend. And you will always be my best friend. But you will never, never be anything more. You need to finally face the fact that I don't feel the same way about you as you do about me! If I really mean that much to you, you need to respect that I can make my own decisions", declared the human boy determined.

"But your decisions are not good! You also said that Mikaela was the one, but now?", hissed Bumblebee angrily.

There was a slapping sound and Hide already had the door-handle in a tight grip, but he was stopped by Epps, the dark-skinned soldier glaring at him and Will.

"What did you do that for, Sam?", gasped Bee.

"I'm not a child anymore, Bee. I've thought that Kaela was the one since I've first met her, but I never really knew her back then! And our relationship was based on us discovering an alien race together! I've matured and I know what I want!", retorted Sam in a low voice.

"Oh, and you want to be the fuck-toy to-"

"Finish that sentence and we are finished, Bumblebee", warned the brunette.

"We both know that you don't mean that", snorted Bee.

"Oh, you have no idea. You're one of the most important beings in my life, you're part of my family, but if you ever talk bad about Will or Hide again, our friendship is over. I love them, it's not a teenage-crush or a relationship starting with an adrenaline-rush in the middle of a battle. This is me, finally getting what I've always wanted. This is me, starting a new life with the ones I love. This is me, giving you one final chance. Either you learn to accept my feelings, or you're too selfish to care about me and you can leave, right now, forever."

Silence. No words were spoken, nothing happened. Will and Hide held their breath at that. They knew since this morning that Sam had feelings for them, but never would they have thought that the boy was in love with them. And willingly giving his best friend up, if he would have to decide between them and the yellow mech.

"No answer is also an answer", grunted Sam and opened the door again, pushing past the three older men and returning to the dining room.

Epps and Will followed the boy slowly, Ironhide remained at the door, though.

"What do you want, Ironhide? You got what you wanted", spat Bee angrily.

"No, I did not", growled Hide angrily. "What I want is Sam. Happy. But he won't be happy if he's without you. I may not like that longing glances you throw his way, but you're his best friend. So you'll get inside right now and behave your damn best, because Sammy deserves to be happy."

The Autobots stared at each other for a few moments, until Bee sighed and nodded. Together they headed to the others. Sam blinked surprised when he saw his guardian.

"Would you fetch me some energon, Annabelle?", asked Bee and ruffled her hair.

The blonde girl nodded eagerly and ran into the kitchen. Bee sat down next to her and once the daughter of the house returned they all started eating together.

"What have Leo and Kaela been up to all day?", asked Sam to break the silence.

"What do you think they were up to?", grunted Bee and rolled his eyes with a smirk.

"Huh? What are they up to?", asked Annabelle in innocent curiosity.

"They are playing adult games. Nothing for you, princess", explained Sam with a smile.

"Aw, why do adults always play boring games?", complained the girl.

The adults laughed good amused. But a frantic knocking on the door disturbed the finally peaceful dinner. Will sighed in annoyance as his daughter once again ran to open the door. This time there were more voices coming with her.

"Really, how could he forget? And where's Bee? He wanted to hurry and return with Sam", mumbled Mikaela irritated.

"I wonder that, too. Once a month! We come over just once a month and he's gone! I didn't raise him that way, now did I, Ron?", grunted Judy.

There, in the doorway of the dining room, stood Leo, Mikaela, Judy and Ron. Will and Hide gulped in panic upon seeing their future in-laws, in their minds there was a scary baseball bat beside Judy.

"Samuel James Witwicky! We came over for dinner and Kaela and Leo had to tell us that you haven't arrived back home since you left this morning! No food ready, no son there to great us and then your car leaves to collect you and doesn't return either! What's the meaning of this?"

Ron just stood behind his wife, nodding like the good husband he was. Kaela and Leo stood beside them, smirking because they knew exactly what was to come. One of Judy Witwicky's famous guilt speeches. They had, after all, been on the receiving end of these often enough.

Hide and Will had plenty other things to think about, though. What to tell them? How to tell them? How to get the farthest away from Judy's baseball bat?

"What? There, food. Dinner. You just have to sit down", grunted Sam irritated.

"Don't be so cheeky with me, young man! Family dinner at your house, that was what we had said!"

"Oh, yeah. I'm moving in with Will and Hide, so we'll have family dinners here anyway from now on", answered the brunette. "Annabelle, would you get four more plates, please?"

"Sure, mommy!", smiled the blonde and hurried into the kitchen.

That kid really had too much energy. Leo and Mikaela sat down, both casting curious glances at their now former roommate.

"What was that, Samuel? And did Annie just call you mommy?", asked Judy with her hands at her hips, one eyebrow raised in suspicion.

"If Sammy is my mommy now, does that mean Judy and Ron are my grandparents now?", interrupted Annabelle with big eyes.

"Best. Dinner. Ever", laughed Epps and shook his head at the heart-attack-esque look on Ron's face.

"Jeez, we've encountered aliens and rescued the world, I don't think there's a reason not to say it as it is: I'm dating them now so it's kind of the best for everyone if I also move in with them. Leaves Leo and Kaela with enough alone time. And don't mind Annabelle, she's a Lennox. Once she set her mind on anything, you can do whatever you want, she won't change it. She settled on calling me mom, don't bother with it", explained Sam.

"What do you mean... dating? Both of them?", intervened Ron.

Will looked at Sam in horror. How could the boy be so blunt about it? And Hide contemplated if he should just get back into his alt-form and drive far away before Judy fetched her baseball-bat.

"Means you owe me fifty bucks, Leo", grinned Mikaela, holding her hand open.

"You know I don't have money with me! And really, two more weeks and I would have won!"

"What. Do. You. Mean?", pressed Ron, the vein on his forehead pulsing dangerously.

"Dating. That is... we had no proper date yet, but... We're mates. Huh. Mom, dad, meet your sons-in-law, I guess. You know that I told you about Cybertronians and mating, right?"

"Oh, good lord, I need to sit down", grunted Ron.

As soon as he sat down, he had a plate full of food in front of him and a toothy grin directed at him. A smile tugged at his lips and he ruffled the girl's hair. She was an angel. Always reminded him that he wanted grandchildren. His eyes wandered over to the very pale faces of major Lennox and the weapon specialist. Those two had rescued his son quite often, he had to give them that much credit. Not so sure if they would be good life-partners for his son, because that boy had been straight as far as Ron knew. Was there anything else his son hadn't told him?

"You two!", started Judy, pointing an accusing finger first at Will and then at Hide. "You two! Don't you dare hurting my baby boy! You better keep him safe, or else you'll have way bigger problems than good, old Megatron and his lot!"

"Yes, ma'am, of course, ma'am", agreed Will hastily.

"We are not planning on hurting him. Cybertronian mating is different from the loose relationships humans have. If we choose our mates, we choose them for life. No betrayal, no break-up, nothing like the strange customs of your culture. I'd protect my mates with my life and I will do anything and everything in my power to make Sam happy", declared Hide honestly.

Keeping a straight face, even though Judy stood right in front of him, her finger poking into his chest and glaring at him dangerously. Sure, the woman was just a rather small human, but one thing applied to any species: Never anger a mother. Her eyes softened at his words and she nodded.

"Well, I suppose... I can trust you. Then, what's for dinner?"

"Steak and vegetables and noodles", smiled Sam.

"Huh. Sounds good. Meat. I really need some meat now. That barbecue at Morshower's was a pure disappointment", grunted Ron and teared at his steak.

"I know!", agreed Robert enthusiastically. "I mean, who in his right mind would grill corn? That's just sick! Not a single steak or at least some wieners!"

Ron nodded wildly and the two started complaining about the bad food. Leo, Mikaela and Judy started talking about a new chick-flick that would arrive in cinema soon, Leo trying to convince his girlfriend to go watch said movie with him, but she'd rather watch an action movie. That's where Epps interjected, agreeing wildly with Mikaela, because he and his wife had watched that movie last week. All the while, Annabelle talked animatedly with Bee about her favorite television show. Leaving Will, Hide and Sam mostly isolated. The major leaned over, placing one hand on Sam's knee, scowling deeply, his voice a hushed whisper.

"What were you thinking, Sammy?"

"What do you mean?", asked Sam confused.

"You have no clue how scary your mother can be!", hissed Hide.

The brunette laughed sweetly, shaking his head in amusement.

"Don't tell me you, the big, bad weapon-specialist, are scared of my mom?"

"I'm not the only one!", grunted the mech in deviance, fixing Will with a glare.

Sam's laugh died down, a serene smile remaining on his lips. His hands finding the hands of his mates. Slowly leaning forward, he chuckled softly and looked sincerely at them.

"You don't need to be afraid of her. I'll tell you a secret: She may be able to scare the pit out of Megatron if she wants to, but as soon as she's facing my infamous puppy-dog-eyes, she wouldn't hurt anyone. I promise, I'll protect you from her wicked baseball bat from hell."

"You're way too sweet, love", sighed Hide.

"And those puppy-dog-eyes, they work on everyone, not only your mom", explained Will.

The soldiers both leaned in at the same time, placing chastise kisses on Sam's cheeks.

"Aw, how cute", cooed Kaela.

The threesome blinked and noticed that all eyes were glued on them. Ron shifted in his seat and coughed, Judy seemed to calculate and analyze the level of love between them, Mikaela grinned broadly and Bee and Leo looked extremely uncomfortable.

"My fathers love my mommy very much", commented Annabelle happily. "I'm glad that Sammy makes them happy. Now our family is complete. Because everyone else in my class has a mommy, but I didn't have one. And now I have my own mommy! And I love him very, very much, because he always helps me with the things daddy and poppa can't help me, like braiding my hair or stupid boys or when I have a fight with my friends!"

The blonde looked so proud and sincerely happy, everyone understood in that moment why Sam let her get away with calling him mommy. Sam hummed in acknowledgment and smiled at her.

"I love you too, princess."

The calculating look on Judy's face died down, being replaced by one of understanding. Her son didn't just feel something for the two men, he loved the whole family. She knew things only a mother knew, like how her baby boy had wanted a family since he was small. Mikaela never looked like a typical mother to her and those two men, she saw it in their eyes, had seen it for a long time now, they loved Sam, unconditionally and they wanted him to be part of their family.

"Well, then, now that we've eaten, is there a dessert?", asked Judy with a smile.

"Yeah, Robert, Annabelle and I made some pudding", answered Sam and wanted to stand up.

"You stay, we'll go bring the dessert, love", commanded Ironhide with strict eyes.

Two reasons; one being that he didn't want his young mate to do all the work and the other, and even more important reason, was that he didn't need Ron and Judy to witness the way their son was walking right now. Will and he hurried to get the chocolate pudding for everyone.

"It's good we made so much, then", commented Robert.

"That's just because you and Annabelle wanted as much pudding as possible", chuckled Sam.

"True", agreed Epps and started devouring the dessert.

They ate in silence, the little unorthodox family they were. Sam, the first to finish his pudding due to a little blonde girl that looked at him with big, pleading eyes until he gave the rest to her, leaned back and smiled, looking at his family. After the others had finished their dessert, Bee, Leo and Mikaela brought the dirty dishes back into the kitchen.

"Well, we take our leave then, plenty of things to do", giggled Mikaela, playing with Leo's hand.

"Yeah, plenty of things", agreed Leo, licking his lips.

"Really? What kind of things?", asked Sam in mock-innocence.

"You know, the kind of stuff you three had been up to this afternoon", answered Mikaela nonchalantly, looking her ex-boyfriend up and down.

The brunette stood in front of her, his legs still a bit shaking, supporting himself with Hide's help. The mech stood behind him, strong arms wrapped around the slim waist. The couple turned around and left, Bee still standing there, his eyes on Hide.

"Keep him safe", grumbled the blonde boy and followed the couple to his alt-form.

"We'll come over tomorrow morning, collecting Sammy's stuff", called Will after them.

"You don't have to", protested Sam. "I can do that myself!"

"You'll stay in bed and relax", objected Hide firmly.

"Should be getting home, too. Monique is going to explode if I'll not be home soon."

"Right, Epps. You're so henpecked", laughed Will and punched his best friend playfully.

"Says the right one, getting yourself finally a housewife to keep you guys in line."

"Not a housewife", growled Sam annoyed.

"I do not understand why you keep complaining, love", whispered Ironhide into the boy's ear. "In my culture you don't have to be a femme to be the submissive, the mother or housewife how you call it. And you are meant to be ours, you're our submissive. I don't understand why you object to your role. You're so good at it, you're so good with Annabelle."

"But housewife and mother are words directed to females only."

"That's the problem with your culture, it only knows black and white, but there are so many shades of gray, so many words you do not know. My beautiful submissive mate."

A blush covered the boy's cheeks while he tried to wrap his mind around the words spoken. Maybe Hide was right, there were things the humans did not know to name because they were too prejudiced, too close-minded to even think of them.

"If everyone else is going home, maybe so should we, Judy?", grunted Ron, already one foot out the door, looking awkwardly at the two soldiers hugging his son.

"I suppose you're right, Ron. Let's give our boys some alone time", smiled Judy.

The woman surprised them by hugging all three of them individually and kissing their foreheads.

"Behave, boys, or else I'll come with my baseball bat!", was her last waring before Sam's parents made their way home.

"I think my mother took it better than you thought", grinned Sam, leaning back against Hide.

"I am relieved that our mate's mother does approve of us", smiled the mech with a nod.

"So am I", laughed Will with relief.

"Daddy, poppa, mommy, can we watch a movie, please?", interrupted Annabelle.

"Sure, darling. What do you want to watch?", asked the major.

"Beauty and the Beast!", chimed the blonde, grabbing her daddy's hand.

"Then it's family time now, hm?", smiled Hide, bending down to grab Sam's legs and carry the boy bridal style into the living room.

"I can walk alone!", objected the brunette with a vibrant blush.

"Here you go again with your protests. You're my mate, you're hurt – and that because of me – so I will take care of you. You need to cease your protesting, love."

"Hide's right, you know? Let us take care of you, Sammy", agreed Will.

The Autobot laid his charge carefully down on the big sofa, taking a seat next to him. Annabelle jumped into Sam's lap and cuddled herself against his chest while Will searched for the DVD. Once the film was running, he sat down on the other side of the brunette.

They were halfway through the movie and both Annabelle and Sam were sound asleep.

Hide and Will still waited for the end-credits, knowing their daughter had the fascinating habit of waking up again once they carried her to bed and demanding to finish the movie because she 'only rested her eyes for a moment'. She slept through the complete second half of the film. Hide carried her to her room and tucked her in before he went to bed himself. His mates were already laying on the soft covers of their bed, Will was busy getting rid of Sam's clothes.

"He's still asleep?", asked Hide with a small smile.

"Yeah. Even though he woke up before us this afternoon, we still wore him out. I kind of feel bad for him...", sighed Will.

"Naw, it's not like he didn't want it. And I am sure he'll beg for more tomorrow morning. He's a horny little submissive", chuckled the Bot and caressed Sam's cheeks and laid down.

They closed their eyes and went to sleep rather fast.
