A/N: Italics are flashbacks.

-a few days later-

Blue walked to Optimus' quarters. She knocked. Optimus opened the door. Blue's face was tear stained and tears were still running down her cheeks.

"Blue? What are you doing up this last at night? Why are you crying?" She wrung her servos together.

"I-I'm sorry Orion." Her voice was hoarse.

"I-I had a nightmare and I was so scared. Smokescreen wouldn't wake up so I came to find you." Blue clung to him. Optimus wrapped his arms around her and gently pulled her into his quarters.

"Sh sh sh...It's ok Blue...I'm here..." She sobbed. Optimus held her close and rubbed her back. She calmed down and sniffled. The red and blue mech held her closer. Blue wrapped her arms around him.

"I hate nightmares Orion."

"I know. Everyone does. You always cried when you had nightmares."

"The worst one I ever had was one that everyone around me died...it was when I was really little..."

"I remember that. You were crying until 3 in the morning."

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok Blue. It was on the day carrier and sire were buried. I remember because it's the day I was told you had to change your name to keep you safe. Your temperament problems started then too."

"Yeah yeah yeah."

-Flashback-

Optimus walked in his carrier and sire's empty house and sighed. He held his little sister in one arm and set down the bag of her things beside the door. Harmonia clung to his shoulder and sucked on her thumb.

"Are you feeling hungry Harmonia? You want energon?" She looked up at him with the 'puppy optics' and he chuckled a little and walked to the energon storage. She whined.

"I'm getting you energon. Calm down. Wait for a nano-klik." He grabbed a cube of energon from the storage and put it in one of Harmonia's bottles. She reached for it. He gave it to her.

The buzzer for the door went off.

"What now?" Optimus sighed, sat Harmonia down on the couch, and put a blanket around her. She continued to feed and hold the bottle. The buzzer went off again.

"I'm coming!" He walked to the door and opened it. Prowl was standing on the older side.

"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting anything sir." Optimus sighed.

"I was just feeding Harmonia."

"Alright. There's a few things that I urgently need to discuss with you." Optimus opened the door wider.

"Here. Come in."

"Thank you sir." Prowl bowed slightly, walked in, and stood near the door.

"What do you need to discuss Prowl?" Harmonia whined. Optimus walked over to her and picked her up.

"Several things sir." Optimus rocked Harmonia gently.

"Ok. What are they?"

"This is a matter of citizen safety, and family. Optimus...It's only too well and for Harmonia's safety that Alpha Trion has requested her name be changed. The Decepticons have already claimed Kaon for their capital. Lives have been lost, far too many, and no one was successful with finding any survivors. Alpha Trion has requested that Harmonia's name be changed. Megatron knows about her, and so if her name is changed, she'll be safe from him...Megatron's responsible for many bots' passings...He wouldn't find her is her name was changed. Coming from a bot that has lost family, I won't watch my leader lose his." Optimus was silent and held Harmonia a bit closer.

"I will talk to Alpha Trion tomorrow to discuss Harmonia's name change."

"Of course sir." Harmonia whined again. Optimus rocked her. Prowl watched her.

"I'm sorry. She's usually quiet."

"It's fine Optimus. I had 3 younger siblings and I am going to have 2 of my own." Harmonia kept whining.

"2 of your own?" Optimus rocked Harmonia. She whined more.

"Yes. 2 of my own...May I try to calm her down Optimus?" Her whining turned to sniffles.

"Please don't cry Harmonia." Prowl gently stroked her back and Optimus put her in the shorter mech's arms. He rocked her. She cried quietly.

"It's alright little one. No need to cry." She slowly calmed down. Optimus sighed in relief.

"Thank you Prowl." She fell into recharge.

"It's nothing." Prowl laid the small sparkling in her brothers arms.

"If you'll excuse me, I have to go drag my mate home."

"Of course. Goodbye and congratulations Prowl."

"Thank you sir." He bowed before leaving. Optimus went to his parents' room and laid down on their berth and laid Harmonia beside him. She stretched out and yawned. He watched her. She was quiet and recharged well for about an hour before she started crying in her sleep. Optimus shook her.

"Harmonia wake up." She cried. Optimus pulled her to his chest and rocked her.

"Shh...it's ok. Big brother's here. I'll protect you." She sobbed.

-End Flashback-

"I was a pain wasn't I?"

"Sometimes." Blue laid her helm on Optimus' chest. He held her.

"It went downhill from there."

"Yes...it did...I didn't want to give you up to Alpha Trion but I knew he would keep you safe."

"I know."

-Next Day-

Smokescreen lifted Blue up and smiled. She giggled.

"Tell me more about your family."

"Like what?"

"Like...do you have any cousins or any more aunts or uncles?"

"Oh yeah. I have 2 great uncles! They were awesome!"

"Names?"

"Proton and Tycoon."

"What were they like?" Smokescreen smiled and walked to their quarters.

"Uncle Proton was Lord of Praxus and Uncle Tycoon travled Cybertron to find his destiny."

"What did they look like?" asked Blue. Smokescreen walked into their quarters and laid on their berth.

"Proton had red, white, and black armor like Prowl and Tycoon had maroon, black, white. They both had shoulder cannons and doorwings and of course blue optics." Blue smiled and laid back against his chest.

"And Proton was really serious and Tycoon was fun and adventurous."

"They sound nice." Smokescreen wrapped his arms around Blue's frame and stroked her bump gently. Blue smiled.

"A few more months," she yawned.

"Yep." Smokescreen smiled and hugged her close.

"Just about 3 months left. I can't wait."

"I can't wait either Blue." Blue rested her helm against Smokescreen's shoulder and he laid his helm against hers gently.

"I love you."

"I love you too Smokescreen."
