Ironhide sat at the table as he held Pebble's close to him as she slept and he rubbed her back gently with small strokes as she cuddled agents him. Jazz and Ratchet waited in the medic bay so they could watch the sparkling when she woke up. Optimus was on his way after Ratchet contacted him and was only going to be a few minutes before he arrived.

Pebble's let out a small moan and slowly online her optics. She yawned softy and noticed she was being held by a red bot. She was a little confused and turned her head around and rubbed her left optic trying to wake up fully.

"Look who's awake" Ironhide softly said to the sparkling.

Pebble's turned her head and was faced with a smile and the red autobot from before. She just stared at him with a sad look and didn't know what she was going to do or what was going to happen.

"How did you sleep?" He asked.

Pebble's didn't answer and only looked away from him only to be faced with two other autobots in the room.

"Hey little lady, aren't you a cutie" Jazz smiled.

Pebble's was just silent and she just cuddled closer to the red autobot and beared her face into his neck shyly making the autobots chuckle.

"A little shy one as well" Ratchet smiled.

"It's alright sweetie. Jazz is only being friendly" Ironhide said.

But again she didn't listen and only nuzzled her head into his neck. She was afraid and just wanted to be in the arms of her father but right now she needed someone to make her feel better and this autobot was the only one that was doing it right now. She leaned her head on his shoulder and just stared in the room not looking at anyone. The three autobots saw the sad look in her face and no sparkling should be like this. They knew she was afraid but they had to try and make her smile at least.

"Do you want any energon?" Ratchet asked her walking over.

Pebble's didn't look at him and only shock her head.

"Pebble's, can you tell us what happen? Do you remember how you got on the beach alone?" Jazz asked.

Pebble's quickly looked at him before looking away and shook her head.

"Nothing?" Ratchet asked.

"Hey give her some space she's had a big night" Ironhide said stroking her helm.

"Sorry" The two said taking a step back.

At that moment Optimus entered the room and walked over to his men. He smiled behind his mask as he saw the sparkling being held by the trigger happy Ironhide.

"Morning men" He said.

"Morning Optimus" Ratchet said.

"How is she doing?" Optimus asked.

"Very quiet and scared but she's alright" Ironhide smiled.

Optimus came over and knelt closer to the sparkling who was hiding her face from everyone.

"Hello Pebble's" Optimus said.

Pebble's slowly turned her head and looked at the strange bot staring to her. She had never seen this bot before and shivered as his blue optic's blinked at her.

"I understand you're afraid of us and we know more about you then you think. We understand that you love your father very much and he loves you as well. We are going to do everything we can to help you and make sure you are happy" he said.

Pebble's was silent before laying her head down again on Ironhide's shoulder.

"When can I go home?" She asked quietly.

Everyone was silent and surprised at hearing her speak. Ironhide sighed when he heard what she said. He didn't want her to leave.

"Once my men fix up Telatran 1 we will contact the decepticon's and have your father come and get you, alright?" Optimus said.

Pebble's nodded her head. She was happy they were going to contact her dad. But she also wondered if they were just saying that. What if they weren't going to? She didn't saying anything and just kept quiet.

"For now you will remain with Ironhide. Has he been treating you nicely?" He asked.

"Of course I have, right Pebble's?" Ironhide asked.

Pebble's looked up at him before looking away and nodded her head.

"See" Ironhide grinned at the three.

"After Telatran 1 got damaged from the storm it may take an hour or two for us to fix. So for now you may hang around with us until it is fixed. Ratchet will do a few check up's and Ironhide will take you around our base. I have some work to do now. Ironhide you take care of her" Optimus said standing up.

"No worries Prime" Ironhide said.

"Jazz I may need your help for a moment" Optimus said.

"No worries Optimus" Jazz said.

Optimus and Jazz walked out and Ironhide stood up walking over to the berth and gently placing Pebble's on it.

"There we go" He said kneeling down in front of her "Ratchet is going to do a quick check up and then I'll take ya around. There is nothing to be scared of here. Everyone is going to love ya" He smiled.

Pebble's lowered her head.

"D-do I have to?" She asked softly.

Ironhide sighed and stroked her cheek softly.

"Pebble's, I know what happen to ya mother" He said.

She looked up at him quickly with wide optic's.

"I'm sorry for what happen. Those autobot's were cruel and bot's that didn't care about anyone but themselves"

He saw a small tear roll down her cheek and her breathing became heavy a little.

"No one ever should have seen their own mother go like that. I know there is nothing I can do to bring her back but she will always be in ya spark and we autobot's are sorry for what happen" Ironhide said.

Pebble's whipped her tears away and made small sniffs trying to stop her crying. Ironhide got out a small cloth and helped her clean her face before putting it aside and smiling at her.

"Thank you" She whispered.

"Ya welcome sweetie" He smiled looking over at Ratchet and giving him a nod.

"Ratchet is just going to do a small check up on you before we have a walk around, alright?" Ironhide asked.

Pebble's nodded her head.

Ratchet came over and got out his scanner again before moving it over the sparkling and herd it beep a few times and had a check.

"You seem to be all good now. The only thing I need to fix is your bond and com links. They got damaged from your injures and once I fix you, you still won't be able to feel you father or com him but once he comes to get you, you two may reach your bonds out to each other and it should be all good" Ratchet explained.

"O-ok" Pebble's said sitting still and looking at the floor, she just hoped it will be soon.

Oh how she wished she was back with the decepticon's. She missed everyone. She was feeling confused about the autobots. Were they nice or was it all an act? She didn't know and she wasn't sure if she should trust them.

She watched as Ratchet put a few wires in her helm before typing a few things into the computer to bring her links up to date and make sure it was fixed for sure.

Once they were up to date Ratchet took out the wires and put it aside.

"Looks like there all fixed and you should have no problems with reaching the bond out to your father when he comes"

Pebble's nodded.

"Come on sweetie" Ironhide said picking her up and holding her in his arms "I'll show ya around and meet some of the other's" He said.

Pebble's then stated to panic.

"No no no" She yelled over and over again trying to get out of his arms.

"Hey sweetie it's alright" Ironhide said holding her good "Ya will be with me and I sure can tell ya that no one here will harm ya"

Pebble's slowly calmed down and sniffed a little before relaxing in his arms.

"See it's alright. Come on now. Thank you Ratchet" Ironhide said leaving the room.

"No worries old friend" Ratchet said going back to his work.

Ironhide held Pebble's close to him as he walked to the rec room for the day until Teletran 1 was fixed. He knew they will fix it quickly so he wanted to spend as much time and know more about Pebble's. She was a sweet sparkling that just wanted to go home which was going to happen whether he liked it or not.

He entered the room and Pebble's cuddled closer to him as she saw a few autobot's in the room having there energon. Ironhide walked over to the table and Prowl turned around to see him with the sparkling.

"Well look who's here" He smiled turning fully around to face them.

"Pebble's this is Prowl" Ironhide said.

"Hi sweetie" Prowl smiled at her.

Pebble's looked at him before again she shyly looked away making the two chuckle.

"She's a shy one" Ironhide said.

"I can see" Prowl smiled.

Ironhide sat at the table with Prowl and then Blaster came over with some energon and passed them to his friends.

"Your name is Pebble's right? I'm Blaster" He said and smiled at the sparkling.

Pebble's looked at him and couldn't help but study. He reminded her of Soundwave. She wasn't sure what it was but she could tell.

"H-hi" She said quietly before she shyly looked away making the other's chuckle.

"Do you want some energon?" Ironhide asked.

Pebble's shook her head and cuddled closer to him.

"Come on sweetie. I know you haven't had energon since you got here. You must be hungry" Ironhide said.

Pebble's looked at him and then at the cub of energon Blaster was offering to her. She was hungry but didn't feel like any while she was here. But after her stomach let out a loud growl the three autobot's laughed.

"Well I think that answers it" Prowl said.

Pebble's licked her lips and slowly reached for the energon and placed the cub to her lips and stared to drink it slowly.

"There we go" Ironhide smiled.

Once she had finished the energon she placed it down and sighed happily as she was full again.

"There we go must be feeling better" Blaster said.

Pebble's nodded her head. Ironhide couldn't help but think. She didn't look happy at all, she just looked sad and upset. He knew that she just wanted to go home but he wanted to see at least one small smile on her before she would go.

Another autobot came walking in and Pebble's looked over curious to see who was coming in now.

"Hey Skyfire" Ironhide greeted as he watched the bot come over and sit next to him.

"Hey guys" He said sitting down and looked at the sparkling "Well hello. Who's this?" Skyfire asked.

"This is Pebble's" Ironhide said.

"Oh that's right Skywarps daughter" He smiled looking at Pebble's "How are you?" he asked her.

For the first time the autobot's saw and didn't think would happen, she softly smiled.

"I-I'm alright" She said to him.

Ironhide smiled and placed her on the table in front of Skyfire so they could talk.

Skyfire saw she was still softly smiling at him.

"You have a beautiful smile" He said.

"You remind me of someone" She said.

"Oh really, who would that be?"

"Starscream" She smiled.

It was silent in the room for a moment before Skyfire spoke.

"R-really?" Skyfire said clearing his throat "Is Starscream nice to you?" He asked.

"Yeah he's nice. He's like an uncle" She giggled softly.

Ironhide felt his spark warm up at her giggle and listen to what she had to say.

"Wow I wasn't expecting that" Prowl said.

"Do you know Starscream?" She asked.

"W-well…yeah I did know him. We were old friends a long time ago" Skyfire said.

"Why aren't you friend's still?"

"Ahh…well-"

"Friends are supposed to be forever" She said.

Skyfire smiled at her then more company was coming into the room.

Spike and Carly came in.

"Hey guys" Spike said coming over.

"Hey kids" Skyfire greeted.

"That storm last night was wild. You should see the damage it had done" Carly said.

"Yeah it damaged Telatran 1 and Red alert is fixing it" Ironhide said.

"Yeah my dad is helping out as well" Spike said.

The kids didn't notice Pebble's staring down at them. Pebble's wanted to get closer to the humans and Ironhide noticed this.

"Hey kids I think someone wants to meet you" He smiled and gently picked up Pebble's and placing her on. Pebble's shyly hid behind Ironhide as the kids stared at her with wonder.

"Kids this is Pebble's. Pebble's these are friends of the autobot's, Spike and Carly" Ironhide said.

"Hi there" Carly smiled coming closer, Spike was behind her not believing what he was seeing.

Pebble's smiled and came out behind from Ironhide.

"It's nice to meet you" Carly said as she was in hand reach now from Pebble's.

"Are you a human?" Pebble's asked.

"Yes I am" Carly laughed.

While Carly and Pebble's had a little talk Spike walked over to Blaster.

"Where did she come from?" He asked.

"We found her during the storm last night. She is though from the decepticon's"

"Really? So she's staying here now right?"

"Well no once Telatran 1 is fixed she is going back"

"Why? The decepticon's are cruel"

"Not to her. Her father is Skywarp and she has told us she loves it there and wants to go back. So we must do what she wants" Blaster sighed.

"Aww that sucks" Spike said.

"I know. I don't want her to leave but she misses her father"

"I guess" Spike sighed.

The two looked over at Carly and Pebble's as they laughed together. Pebble's was gently feeling Carly's arm and feeling how soft her skin was.

"Feels weird" She giggled "Do all human's feel like this?"

"Yes we are all the same" Carly smiled "So you like humans and the planet?"

"It's really interesting and different. I really like it" Pebble's smiled.

That got Ironhide thinking. He had to speak to Optimus.

"Skyfire can you look after her for a moment, I just need to talk to Optimus" Ironhide asked.

"No worries" Skyfire smiled.

Ironehide stood and walked out the room but turned around and smiled as he saw Carly ad Pebble's laugh and smile before walking out.

Ironhide walked down the hall and came to Optimus door and knocked.

"Come in" Optimus said and Ironhide came walking in.

"Ironhide old friend, what brings you here?"

"Hey Prime. I came to talk to you about Pebble's"

"Red alert is fixing Telatran 1 right now. He will let me know when it's fixed so I can then contact Megatron" Optimus said.

"It's not about that. I've been thinking. Pebble's is nothing like the decepticons. Right now she is playing with Carly and Spike and said she loves this planet. I just don't see her running into Battle and fighting" Ironhide said.

"I understand what you mean Hide. I don't see it happening as well. But she wishes to be returned to her father and she has said it herself she loves it there. I don't feel right sending her back either but I will do what she wants"

"Maybe we don't have to tell the cons. We just keep her here and raise her as like us"

"That could work but what about her?"

Ironhide was silent. That was true. Pebble's wouldn't be happy.

"Pebble's may like the humans but you know what happened to her mother. If she remained with us what do you think will happen? She won't just happily greet everyone with hugs and forget what happen. Plus if the decepticons ever did find out she was here with us it will get ugly and her father will not be happy. You also have seen how Skywarp treats her. He treats her like any father would"

"I know Prime….I-I just…." He sighed "She reminds me of…"

Prime narrowed his optic's.

"Who?"

Ironhide took a breath.

"Prime I'm about to tell yasomething no one else knows beside me and Chromia"

"What is it?"

"Pebble's is a sweet angel. She is everything every parent would want" he smiled before sighing "Before the war began on Cybertron. Chromia and I had a daughter"

Optimus optic's widen and walked over to him.

"Ironhide, why didn't you tell me?"

Ironhide gave him a sad look.

"Her name was Nala. Chromia and I loved her very much and we did everything to make her happy and protect her. When the war began we tried to get her to safety" he sat down in a chair "But we failed" He looked up at his leader "She died in decepticon hands. They ripped her spark out and crushed it within a second right in front of me and Chromia while they held us down and torched us. They were about to kill me when some of the other autobots came and rescued us. But not in time to save our daughter"

Optimus was silent as he heard what his friend has said.

"Till this day I blame myself. I should have fought more and she would have been here with us now"

"Ironhide it wasn't your fault. You tried everything you could" He said.

"I know. But she is so much like Pebble's and I can't watch her being raised by decepticon's. It's just not right"

Before Optimus could say anything Red alert came in.

"Oh sorry to interrupt, I just wanted to let you know that Telatran 1 is up to date and fixed." He said.

"Thank you Red alert, you have been helpful"

"No worries Prime" He said before walking out.

Ironhide sighed.

"Ironhide I need to contact the decepticon's. I'm sorry old fried but she wants to go home" He said.

"Alright Prime" Ironhide sighed.

"I'm sure Skywarp will be happy you took care of her"

"Yeah" he said before walking out with Optimus before he was heading to the control room. Ironhide walked back to the rec room and looked down at Pebble's before smiling at her. She was giggling happily with Carly and Spike next to her. He walked over and knelt down next to Pebble's.

"Hey sweetie" he said.

Pebble's turned around and looked up at him before softly smiling.

"Hi" She said.

"Listen, Optimus is contacting your father now so it won't be long before you will be going home" He said.

Sadly he saw how happy she was.

"Really?" She smiled.

"Yeah" Ironhide said "You're going home"

So how did you like the idea of Ironhide having a daughter? I thought it was sad that she died but I wanted to make a twist. Hope you all liked and please review.
