Jazz, Prowl and Linley smiled as they watched the first set of graduating graduates cross the stage. "Where is Hacks?" Jazz asked as realized his oldest creation's bonded wasn't sitting next to her.
"He is busy with Tamara, with her injury and all. You remember, she tried to stop a fight between the twins and she lost her left arm and her right leg. Ratchet doesn't currently have a replacement to fit her. So she is currently laying in her berth unable to do much else without help."
"What about Hailee?" The TIC noticed that his other grand-creation wasn't here either.
"Hey Carrier!"
Linley smiled and gave her creation a hug. "I'm right here grand-carrier."
The young femme gave her grand-carrier and grand-sire a hug. "Did I miss it? Did I miss him going across the stage?"
"Nope. He hasn't been called up just yet. You got here just in time."
"How did you do?"
She smiled and hugged her carrier. "I got in!"
"Really?!"
"Yeah!"
"That is great news, sweetspark!"
"What were you trying to get in to?" Prowl and Jazz both asked, curious about their grand-creation's excitement.
"The same school as carrier did when she was young. I have a few ideas about what I can or will take, but I don't know, for sure, what I am going to specialize in. But now that I am in… I can take whatever I want."
The SIC pointed out that Kadin was part of the next group that was going up next. "KADIN!" The four bots stood up and cheered for him.
After the ceremony they walked back to base. "So Kadin, what is it that you are going to be doing?"
"Well Sister… I want to work with Sire. I want to be a tactician. I am really good at it and I have been for some time now."
"Well… we will have to talk to Prime. But since I am the one in charge of job placements… I don't see why not. But I expect perfection."
Kadin smiled. "I would expect nothing less from you, sire."
Jazz, Linley and Hailee started laugh. "Anyway carrier, I told Sire that I would go help him with Tamara."
Linley smiled at her creation. "I'm proud of you, Hailee. You have agreed to help your sister even though the two of you don't get along." The younger femme nodded and headed off for home to help her sire.
The TIC looked at his oldest creation. "Hailee and Tamara don't get along well?"
"No." Linley thought for a klick. "They haven't gotten along for 10 metacycles now. But they haven't talked in 3 metacycles. It got so bad that Hailee ended up moving out. Hacks and I did not throw her out, she left on her own free will and it was hard on me. Tamara was a sire's femme and Hailee was a carrier's femme."
Prowl hugged his daughter. "What happened?"
"Well… it started with a mech. Tamara really liked this mech, but this mech spent more time with Hailee then Tamara. Well… Tamara got mad and confronted her sister…"
"You stay away from him!"
"Excuse me? It is not my fault that he spends his time with me."
"You know I like him!"
"Duh. But I don't like him like that. He is only a friend, I swear sis, I'm not that type of femme!"
"Why can't you just listen to me and stay away from him?"
Hailee sighed. "Look sis, I don't actively go looking for him. He is the one who finds me. He is in 5 of my 10 classes. I can't magically change 5 of my classes, half way through the metacycle! I'm stuck in these classes with him for the next 4 groons."
"I HATE YOU! YOU ARE USELESS AND I WISH YOU NEVER EXISTED! I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE A TWIN SISTER!"
Linley came in to the room. "TAMARA! That is no way to talk to your sister! You apologize right now!"
Hailee put a servo on her carrier's shoulder. "It is okay carrier." Hailee walked away but Linley saw the tears in her creation's optics as she walked away.
Linley felt her spark break. "Linley?!" Hacks came rushing into the room. "Linley? What is wrong sweetspark?" Linley pointed toward Tamara who was staring out her window sit visibly angry.
Linley left and went looking for Hailee. "Hailee? Hailee? It's carrier. Please answer the door and talk to me." She opened the door and screamed.
Hailee gasped for air. "I'm… sorry… I… lo-ove… you…" Her body went limp.
"HAILEE!"
Hacks looked at Tamara. "You! Stay right there. I will deal with you later." Hacks slammed the door and went running down the hall to his bonded. "Lin-. Oh Primus!"
Hacks ran in to the room and un-did the knot that was stopping his creation from breathing. Linley pulled out her emergency chest paddles and forced her creations chest plates open.
Tamara opened her door and walked down to her sister's room. She looked inside and screamed. Hacks had managed to get the knot off just as he heard a scream. He looked up and saw his other creation looking horrified. "I TOLD YOU TO STAY IN YOUR ROOM!" He jumped up and grabbed Tamara's arm and took her back to her room. "Stay in here. I mean it!"
"Did I do this?" Hacks started to close the door. "I'm sorry sire!"
Hacks looked up at her. "You better hope that for your sake, that your sister lives… If she doesn't come back… Your carrier will be spark broken and I can't promise she will even want to talk to you let alone be near you."
Tamara sobbed. "I said I was sorry!"
Hacks looked elsewhere. "And sometimes… Sometimes sorry isn't enough, Tamara." Hacks closed the door and locked it behind him he raced back to his bonded.
Linley was clinging to her creation's servo. "Hailee, please come back to us… Primus… Primus please don't take her!" Linley continued to sob. She gasped when she felt her servo being squeezed. Hailee's optics flew open and she gasped for air, coughing as she did so. Linley pulled her creation close to her and rubbed her back, trying to sooth her.
"Ca-carrier."
"I'm right here sweetspark. I'm not letting go."
Hacks came over and collapsed next to them and held them both close as he sobbed quietly with them.
We told Tamara to stay away from her sister for a while. Eventually Hailee got strong enough to go back to school and she did. She seemed happy, since it meant she wasn't inside all the time."
Linley started to cry and Prowl tried to calm her down. "It is okay, Linley. She is still here with us. It is going to be okay." Jazz stroked his daughter's back. "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
"I didn't know how."
Kadin looked at his sister, "Then what happened sis?"
"Well every time the two of them were in the same room. Tamara would leave and would avoid Hailee like she was a deadly virus. Anyway, after about 6 groons, Hailee had, had enough. So she confronted her sister. Tamara explained the reason she was avoiding Hailee was because she was really afraid of hurting her more than she already had. I really think what Hacks told her scared her. Anyway, Hailee blew up at her and said, 'Fine! I'm moving out.' And the two of them haven`t spoken since."
"Until today right?"
"What do you mean, Kadin?"
"Well Hailee is going to help Hacks take care of Tamara, correct?"
"Right."
"Well that means she is going to see her. So she might talk to her sister, right?"
Linley thought for a klick "I'll be honest. I never thought about it, Kadin. But just because Hailee is going over to help though, doesn't mean that the two of them will talk. You never know though. It would be nice if they started talking and could become friends. That is all I could ever hope for, brother."
They were pulled out of their thoughts when the saboteur`s name was being called.
"Uncle Jazz!"
"Amicus! How is the team looking?"
"They are looking in top shape, sir. I think that they will be ready for the training tomorrow."
"Good work. Will I be seeing you first thing tomorrow to help me train them?"
Amicus' optics lit up. "Yes sir!" He smiled, bowed and walked away.
"That was nice of you, carrier."
"I started to train him when he was 15 metacycles old. He was a determined student, he was more determined than most. After his training was done he stuck around, he asked if he could join the next group. That continued on for a metacycle. After that I asked him if he wanted to be the SIC of special ops. I had already talked to Prime about it. Prime was actually the one who suggested it. Anyway, I offered it and he has been working with me ever since."
"So for the last 18 metacycles?"
"Correct. However, usually he was working off base or planning missions with your sire and I. For the last metacycle I have been letting him draw up his own plans and he brings them to me. He explains what the mission is for and who he would need to take with him and then your sire and I look over the actual plans he has drawn up."
"It is still nice that you kept your word, carrier."
"I always keep my word."
"That is true."
:Linley?:
:Hacks…? Is something wrong?:
:Sadly… yes…:
:What's wrong?:
:Hailee just walked in the door and Tamara has already started yelling and screaming at her.:
:Alright. I'm on my way.:
"Well Kadin… It looks like you were right. They are talking. Well… Tamara is yelling and Hailee is talking."
"Sorry I opened my mouth?"
"It is okay. I won't be able to join you three, Hacks as asked that I come home and help him. How I'm going to help him… I have no idea. I'll see you all later."
Three mechs waved and headed off to celebrate Kadin's graduation.
Linley raced home, opened the door and started to hear all the yelling. Hacks looked up from his data pad. Linley went over and gave him a kiss. "So… what are they fighting about this time?"
"I have no clue. I'm not a 'femme'." The medic was confused for a second and then she clued in.
"Ah." She went to see what her twins where fighting about. "I'M SORRY, OKAY? I LOVE HIM!"
"Whoa! What is going on?"
"Hailee is being a slag helm! That is what is wrong!"
"TAMARA!"
"You know what sis? I don't know how carrier and sire put up with you! You are a spoiled brat and horrible bot!"
"HAILEE!"
"Sorry carrier. It needed to be said."
"I WANT HER OUT OF HERE!"
Hacks came in to the room. "Why? You upset that she told you the truth?" Hailee snickered, while Linley looked at her bonded in shock.
"SIRE! That's not fair!"
Hailee looked at her sister. "You want me gone? Fine, I'm leaving. I wish you the best in your life, sister." Hailee turned around and left the room.
Linley went after her creation. "Hailee wait!" She stopped and turned around. She saw her sire close her sister's door. "Please… Please tell me what the two of you were fighting about."
Hailee felt tears sting her optics. "You remember that mech that Tamara and I were fighting about, going on 4 metacycles now?"
"You're with him?"
"No."
"I don't understand why your sister is so mad then…"
"After I went back to school… I talked with the mech and told him I wasn't interested in anything more than a friendship. He agreed and then told me that being my friend was his intention but the extra questions were a favour to his brother and that his had a crush on me. Him and I got close."
"What is the mech's name?"
"The mech that Tamara wanted me to stay away from or his brother?"
"The brother."
"His name is Tye. Tye and I got close and the brother that Tamara wanted me to stay away from was Dillon. Dillon asked his lover Stacy, to bond with him and she did." Hailee handed her creators a data pad. "They had a beautiful femme. They named her Sophie." Hailee handed her creators another data pad. "Tye and I got close. We eventually confessed how we felt and we… Well now we have a handsome mech. We named him Milo."
Linley gasped. "So… You have a creation of your own."
The younger femme looked elsewhere. "It's hard to explain. Anyway, Dillon and Stacy joined the forces and told us that if anything should happen to them that Sophie would be ours and now she is. Dillon and Stacy both offlined 10 groons ago, 2 groons after the birth of Milo."
Hacks wrapped his arms around his bonded and gave a gentle squeeze. "So! Do we get to meet both our grand-creations?"
Hailee's optics lit up. "I thought you would never ask."
:Hey Tye? Can you bring the little ones to my creator's place?:
:Of course. I take it they know about us?:
:Yes. I just told them.:
:On my way, then.:
"So… How old are they?"
"Sophie is 18 groons and Milo just turned one."
"Why didn't you tell us sooner about Sophie and Milo?"
"Because I didn't know how to tell you." There was a knock on the door. Hailee opened the door.
"CARRIER!"
"Sophie! Come see carrier."
Tye kissed his lover and smiled. He came in and closed the door behind himself. He used his now free servo to shake the servos of his lover's creators. "Hacks, Linley. Hailee has told me a lot about the both of you. I'm happy to finally meet you."
Hacks took Sophie from his daughter and Linley took Milo from Tye. "It is nice to finally meet you, Tye."
"So are the two of you bonded?"
Hailee squeezed Tye's servo. "He has asked me and I have said yes. But we haven't officially bonded yet. We were excited and then with what happened to Dillon and Stacy… It just didn't seem right. So we have decided to wait."
Linley and Hacks nodded. "Is this what you tried to tell your sister and she started yelling."
"Yes. As you saw, she did not take it well."
"Have you planned to tell Uncle Kadin, Your grand-creators, or even your great grand-creators?"
"We didn't plan to tell anybody… We just kinda figured we live our lives."
"I think we will go and tell them as a family."
Hacks spoke up. "I will stay here with Tamara."
They all nodded.
Linley commed her carrier and sire.
:Carrier, Sire?:
:Yes Linley?:
:Do you think that both of you, Kadin, Jemma, Amicus, Echo, Circe, Ratchet and Prime could meet me in the meeting room, in about 20 klicks?:
:Why, is something wrong?:
:No no no. It is just something, that I think the whole family needs to know. I'm not including Aphilo, Adora and Vincent because they aren't on base and won't be back for some time.:
:Fair enough.:
:Are you sure nothing is wrong, sweetspark?:
:I am sure sire. See you all in 20 klicks.:
With that Linley cut the comm. "Okay. The meeting is set. You both ready?"
Hailee and Tye looked at each other and then back at the medic. "We're ready."
They all left and headed for the meeting room. They made sure that they were the last to enter the meeting room. Tye stayed outside the door.
"So what is with the meeting, Linley?"
"Grand-Carrier… It actually isn't me who needs to speak. It is Hailee." Linley stood off to the side and let her daughter talk.
"As you all know… I have a spark twin, Tamara. When we were little we use to be best friends and as we grew and got older, that did change, but not enough to be a hazard or anything to toxic. However, it changed to being toxic, my second year at the academy. My sister and I were 17 metacycles old. There was a mech that she liked and he happened to be in 5 of my 10 classes. She and I had fall out… and… she said some nasty and hateful things. So I went back to my room and tried to offline myself."
Most of the bots in the room gasped.
"Carrier managed to bring me back. When I was able to return to school, and in hopes of restoring my relationship with my sister, I spoke with this mech. His name was Dillon. I explained to Dillon that I could be nothing more than a friend and I very much valued his friendship. He agreed and told me that he felt the same but explained that it was his brother, Tye, who had a crush on me. That was why he had been spending so much time with me. He was repaying a favour to his brother."
All the femmes in the room smiled.
"I finally spoke with Tye and we became friends and became really close. Dillon asked his lover Stacy to bond with him and she did. Together they had a beautiful femme and they named her Sophie. Shortly before the birth of Sophie, I… I found out that I was carrying. Dillon and Stacy were the first and only bots we told. It was at that time that Dillon and Stacy told us that they had joined the forces and that should something happen to them that Sophie would become ours. 10 groons ago, two months after the birth of our mech Milo, Sophie became ours. They were offlined…"
The femme took a deep breath.
"Now that you all know what has happened. I wish introduce you to my lover Tye, our daughter Sophie and our son Milo." Tye came in holding both the creations.
Jazz and Prowl smiled at each.
:Our family is finally complete now.:
:That it is Jazz.:
The two officers smiled at each other and shared a feeling between the two of them. ~It hasn't always been easy, But it has always been worth it.~
