Sorry for the wait guys but hope you all like this chapter. Ideas are welcome and please read and review :D
Chromia and Ironhide walked into the large rec room filled with other autobot's and the other femmes sitting at the end of the room chatting with each other. Chromia passed the other's as she walked over to her friends and spotted Elita-One looking up and smiling at her.
"Hey Chromia. Is this the sparkling we all have been hearing about?" She asked looking at the shy sparkling.
"It sure is. Everyone this is Pebble's" Chromia introduced.
Pebbles looked at all the femmes smiling and waving at her making her smile back.
"Hi" She shyly said.
Chromia placed her on the table but was soon picked up again by another femme.
"Oh you are just a cute little femme" Moonracer said cradling her in her arms making Pebbles giggle and lean into the touch.
"Hey don't hog her I want a hold as well" Firestar smiled.
The femmes spent hours laughing and giggling as Pebbles was passed around and she got the loving attention from each femme. She had missed a femme's motherly touch like this and she was enjoying every moment of it.
"So you liking it here sweet spark?" Elita asked.
"It's alright" Pebbles said as she was bounced up and down softly on Elita's knee making it fun for Pebbles.
"What do you mean it's alright? Don't you-" Firestar was stopped as Chromia placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her the look to not say anything which Firstar did and went silent.
Ironhide and Optimus then came over to the table and looked at down at the sparkling having fun.
"You ladies having fun?" Optimus asked.
"We sure are thanks dear" Elita-One said giving Pebbles to Chromia again.
"I'm warning you I want like a million sparklings" Elita giggled walking past the two. Optimus only smirked before looking worried.
"A million means two right?" He asked Ironhide making him chuckle.
Ironhide looked down at his bond mate and Pebbles as she nuzzled her head into her chest and being stroked before her small horns making her purr and smile with glee. She seemed to really like the femmes which was good. She might be happy for the next few days.
Later that night
Chromia took Pebbles back to their quarters after the rec room started to get crowed and Pebbles was feeling uncomfortable which everyone understood. Ironhide was walking back to their room and as he reached the door he pushed the code in before entering. He looked up and stopped at the sight he was seeing. He felt a smile cross his face as he leaned on the door way.
Chromia hummed a tone softly as she sat on the berth and rubbed Pebbles head softly as she recharged. She had a big day and must have felt very tired. Pebbles laid on the berth next to Chromia with a small blanket over her and a dimmed light over the two making it not so dark for her.
Chromia finally looked up at her bond mate and smile as he walked over to her.
"How is she?" He asked.
"She's fine. Fell right into recharge as soon as her head hit the pillow" She smiled watching Pebbles chest move slowly up and down.
"She's had a big day" He said taking a seat next to the femmes.
"She has…."
Ironhide knew something was on Chromia's mind so he asked.
"What's wrong baby?"
He knew something was wrong when Chromia let small tears roll down her check and tried her best to stop.
"I don't want her to go" She whispered "I want her to stay with us"
"I hear ya. I want her to stay as well, but you know what will happen if we keep her here" Ironhide said placing a hand on her shoulder.
It was silence for a long moment. Only Chromia's soft sniffs and heavy breathing was heard but lucky Pebbles was too deep in recharge to wake up.
"I miss our daughter so much" She started looking up at Ironhide "I wish she was with us"
"Shh shh, come on baby. Some recharge will help ya. Let's put Pebbles in her berth so we can get some rest" He said standing up.
Chromia gently picked up Pebbles and walked into the next room where Pebbles had her own small room set up. She laid the sparkling down on the small berth and wrapped her up in blankets before kissing her helm gently before walking out with Ironhide and over to their berth.
A few hours later
Pebbles rolled over slowly as she woke up to hearing a weird noise. She onlined her optics and looked around not knowing where she was but soon realised Ironhide and Chromia were in the next room.
She then noticed the weird noise was a beeping and saw there was a private message for her. She smiled knowing it was from her father and opened it up to read what it said.
Hey sweet spark, I'm sorry if I woke you. I'm alright and we are calling it a night. No sign of anyone but we will continue tomorrow. I hope the autobot's are treating you nicely but I'm sure they are. Miss you and thinking of you.
Love daddy xoxo
Pebbles closed it and hopped out of bed walking out of the room and into the other. She looked up and saw Ironhide and Chromia were in deep recharge so she knew they weren't going to wake up. She snuck out of the room and quietly into the hall and walked down to find the exit.
Once she did she felt a cool breeze on her and shivered from it. She was looking out and saw all of the night sky and stars glowing over the land and smiled before sitting down and staring up. She hoped to see her father just fly over the hills and to her to take her back home but knew very well he was still on Cybertron.
"Pebbles?"
She spun around and looked up at the bot she knew as Skyfire. She was silent as she stared at him.
"What are you doing up?" He asked walking over.
"I-I couldn't sleep…." She lied as she looked back at the stars.
"You waiting for your father aren't you?" He said kneeling next to her.
Pebbles didn't say anything and just looked out of the base.
"He will be back sooner than you think. Come on you need your recharge" Skyfire said picking her up and holding her close.
"I don't want to recharge, I want to go home" Pebbles softly said.
"I know you do sweetie. But your father bought you here for your own safety and we autobot's are trying our best to make you confortable and happy. Give us a chance and I promise tomorrow will be a fun day" Skyfire said rubbing her helm softly.
Pebbles sniffed softly before looking up at him and away again. She thought about it and leaned her head on his chest.
"So is that a yes?"
Pebble's sighed before nodding her head slowly and let out a soft yawn.
"Tomorrow we can hang out and I'm sure some of the other's will want to be with you as well"
"Alright" She sleeply said.
"I'll take you back to Ironhide and Chromia, there probably looking for you" He said walking down the hall.
As he turned a corner he saw Ironhide and Chromia running down towards him but soon smiled and sighed as they saw Pebbles was alright.
"Primus I was so worried" Chromia said running up to him.
"She only went for a little wonder. She's feeling home sick" Skyfire said.
"Come on sweet spark. I'll take you back to our quarters" Chromia smiled.
Pebbles looked at her with tearful optics before reaching her arms out for her to take her. Chromia was a little taken back from her action but right away smiled and took her into her arms. She felt her nuzzle into her shoulder and her small arms wrap around her neck. Ironhide smiled and looked up at Skyfire.
"Thank you Skyfire"
"No worries. I'll see you all in the morning" He smiled and walked back down the hall.
When the three got back to their quarters Chromia right away took Pebbles back into her room and laid her on her berth and pulled the blankets over her.
"I'm sorry I left" Pebbles quietly said looking up at the two.
"It's alright sweetie. We understand your home sick and want to go home" Ironhide said.
"Try and get some recharge" Chromia whispered.
"I can't sleep on my own" Pebbles whimpered softly.
"Hang on" Ironhide said as he walked out the room and over to a box that was next to their berth and came back with something in his hands.
"Only if it's alright with you baby" Ironhide asked Chromia. She wasn't sure. It belonged to their daughter, but knew she wasn't coming back and Pebbles would love it. Maybe Pebbles will come to like them more. She thought long and hard for a moment before smiling and nodding her head.
"Here sweetie, will this help?" Ironhdie said showing her an old Cybertron doll.
Pebbles was silent but took the small doll from him and looking at it.
It was an old doll with thin, soft metal strips for the dolls hair and soft pink armour on her and glowing blue optics glittering. She soon held it close to her and nuzzled her head into the doll lying down on the berth.
"Thank you" She whispered shutting her optics.
"Goodnight sweetie" They both said before leaving and shutting the door a little for her. When the lights went out Pebbles online her optics and looked down at the doll. She smiled and hugged it closer to her before going into recharge. She felt safe now with the doll. Maybe she could just warm up a little to the autobot's. They are taking care of her.
She wondered what will happen tomorrow.
She has a new doll now :D
