Orbital cycle-1 day

After we got back from our "litlle" trip to Egypt, I could not sleep at all; I had nightmares after what I saw in the reproduction chamber. In order to help me take my mind off it, Ironhide suggested me to go with him to Lennox residence. And I gladly accepted. I have to admit that I was excited because I was going to finally meet them. I was in my room putting makeup and getting ready when my phone rang; I quickly answered.

"Hello?"

"Sandy, sweetheart how are you?" a silvery female voice asked. I recognized the voice immediately.

"Hi mom, I'm good; how are you and dad?" I asked.

"We are both fine; we just arrived in Spain," she said. "Oh Sandy, you would love Spain: the people, the food, the culture….." she started.

My parents have decided that for their 30 wedding anniversary go on a cruise around the world. They were out of the country when all these happened.

"I can imagine; listen mom, I don't want to sound rude, but I have to go; I have to meet with Monica," I lied.

Can you imagine I'm 30 years old and I'm lying to my mother. Oh, what a proud moment this is.

"Alright sweetheart," she said. "So, what's new with you?"

I sighed. That's my mom you tell her that you are in a hurry and she pretends that she didn't hear you.

"Oh, nothing much. I was about to go out when you called."

"Mhm, listen Sandy I called your cousin; you know the one who works at a construction site?"

"Yes."

"Well, apparently there were some problems and the workers who were rebuilding your house went on strike."

"What?"

"Yeah, he told me something about his boss not paying them something like that."

"Great," I muttered.

"I do not understand, why don't you go to our house until yours is finished?" She asked. "You stayed long enough in Monica's home."

"No mom, I already told you; I don't want to be alone in such a big house; I don't feel safe there. Beside Monica is glad to have me here," I lied.

I know, I know I'm not actually the daughter of the year, but what I was supposed to do? I could not tell them about Ironhide and the Autobots. My mother would flip and my dad would have a heart attack.

"Nonsense Sandy, you grew up there."

"Mom…"

There's a long and a soft sigh on the other end of the line.

"Alright, I do not want to argue with you; if you want to stay at Monica's place stay."

"Thanks mom."

"I have to go; I have to find your father before he eats all the food from the buffet table and embarrass me in front of all the passengers on the boat," she said in a serious tone.

I started to laugh. "Alright mom; talk to you later love you, " I said.

"Love you too, " she said and hung up.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and I went to answer it. When I opened the door, I saw Ironhide standing there.

"Are you ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said, grabbing my purse and closing the door behind me. As we walked through the base, the soldiers and the Autobots were turning; looking us weird; some of them were whispering among themselves and some of them were trying to hide their smiles but no avail. "

"What's with them?" I asked. "Since we came back from Egypt, they look us weird."

"I don't know, but when we get back, I'll find out" Ironhide said as he transformed and opened the door for me to get in.

"I can't wait to see my little younglings" Ironhide said, excitedly as he drove down the road and toward the Lennox residence.

"Your younglings?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, Annabelle and Theodor," Ironhide said proudly. "Annabelle is 7 stellar-cycles old and she is very smart for a youngling her age and Theodor is one meta-cycle old."

I listened as he talked about Annabelle and Theodor; he really sounded like a proud father even though they were not his children.

"Annabelle and Theodor are lucky to have you as their guardian," I said.

"No, I'm lucky to have them," he said. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Why didn't you bond with someone?"

"I'm afraid I don't understand your question."

"Well, you are 30 stellar-cycles old," he simply said.

I put my face into my hands, he sounded like my mother.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yes," I said, straighten up. "I did not bond because I have not found the right person."

"I see."

"And you?"

"What about me?"

"Why didn't you find someone else after Chromia break up with you?" I asked.

"How do you know about that?" he asked shocked.

"Jazz told me everything."

"That big mouth son of a glitch," Ironhide cursed.

"If you do not want to tell me its okay. I understand."

There was silence for a few minutes until Ironhide spoke.

"No I will tell you, " he said. "I did not find someone else because I was hoping that one orbital cycle Chromia and I would reconcile."

I felt the sadness in his voice.

"Oh," I said, as I sink into the driver's seat.

"But that was many stellar-cycles" he said, as he parked in the driveway of the Lennox residence. I looked through the windshield and saw a man with brown hair in his early forties standing on the porch; holding a blond little girl in his arms. I got out and Ironhide activated his hologram. The man put the little girl down; the moment her little feet touched the floor she ran toward Ironhide.

"Uncle 'Hide," the girl cried happily, as she toward him.

"Hey there youngling," he said, as he gently picked her up in his arms kissing her cheeks. Annabelle wrapped her tiny arms around Ironhide's neck.

"I missed you," she said.

"I missed you more," he said, gently smiling at her.

The man approached us and stretched his hand out toward me.

"William Lennox," he said.

"Sandra Jones," I said, as I shook his hand.

(William Lennox POV)

I was standing on the porch holding Annabelle and waiting for Ironhide and his new charge to arrive. Soon I saw familiar black GMC Topkick driving down the street.

"Uncle 'Hide is here, uncle, 'Hide is here," Annabelle said happily.

"Yes, sweetheart uncle 'Hide is here, " I said to her kissing her in the forehead. I watched him parking in my driveway; the driver's door opened and a female with long straight brown hair and bright blue eyes got out. At that moment there was no force that will keep Annabelle in my arms; she wanted to be put down. The second I put her down, she ran toward Ironhide.

(End of POV)

"It's good to see you Ironhide," Will said, smiling at his former guardian.

"It's good to see you too William," Ironhide said. "Where's Sarah?"

"She is in the house; come, let's go inside," he said, starting to walk toward the house.

"Sarah, Ironhide is here," Will called his wife.

"I will be there in a minute," a female voice said from the kitchen.

"Please sit. Sarah will be joining us soon," Will said to me.

"Thank you," I said, as I sat down on the couch.

"Come on Uncle 'Hide sit," Annabelle ordered, pulling him by his sleeve to sit down.

"Alright, youngling calm down" Ironhide said, picking her up and putting her in his lap as he sat down.

"So, how are things back at the base?" Will asked.

"The same," Ironhide replied as he played with Annabelle.

Soon a woman with blond hair and blue eyes appeared from the kitchen.

"Welcome home Ironhide," she said, bending down to hug him.

"Its good to be back," Ironhide said. "This is my charge Miss. Sandra Jones".

I got up from the couch and stretched my hand out.

"Nice to meet you Sandra," Sarah said, shaking my hand. "You look very familiar to me. Have we met somewhere before?"

"I don't think so," I said.

"And Theodor where is he?" Ironhide asked, looking around the room.

"He is sleeping," Sarah said.

"I see," Ironhide said, disappointed.

"But do not worry, he will wake up in time for dinner," Sarah said softly.

Ironhide's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Sarah turned to me.

"Let's go talk in the kitchen and leave these two here to talk about their military topics," Sarah said, grabbing me by the arm and dragging me into the kitchen.

A/N Question: Sarah asked Sandra if they know each other from before. What you think?
