Bumblebee hates how much pain (Y/N) is in, to the point he neglects himself. Jolt has to delay therapy, but (Y/N) makes an amazing recovery even with the delay.
Bumblebee hates how much pain (Y/N) is in even while on medication. He doesn't know if this pain is unfortunately normal or there's something Ratchet can do. He tries not to yell at Ratchet, but he's had enough watching (Y/N) all day.
"Do something!" He rages at Ratchet in his office.
"I am, but if I'm not careful, she could become addicted to the drug. Her six months off could turn into termination!"
"Is a —?"
"No! She will be in pain for a while and needs to start physical therapy soon," Ratchet hates Bee is crying, "I'm sorry, but the best you can do is distract her."
Jolt and Ratchet watch Bee try to distract (Y/N). No matter if she's lying still or moving, she's in pain.
"I can't work with her while she's in this much pain," Jolt tells Ratchet.
Bumblebee struggles to make his sparkmate comfortable for the next three days while she struggles with the pain. By day four, Ratchet can tell Bee is neglecting himself. He hated to have to tell Optimus, but he believes Bee will only listen to Optimus.
"No, I will not take a break while (Y/N) is in so much pain!" Bee argues.
"And how will you help her if you're exhausted or sick?!"
Bee knows Optimus can force him to rest. Displeased, Bee goes to his room while Prime goes to the medbay.
(Y/N) as quiet as Optimus sits by the bed. It's not long before she's asleep. Unfortunately, Ratchet comes in to check her stitches for infection, and no matter how careful he is, (Y/N) wakes up crying in pain. Jolt runs into the room, and the three mechs struggle to calm her down. They can't believe the words coming from (Y/N). Once she's calmed a little, (Y/N) cries for Bee. Not liking that he's been neglecting himself to the point Prime had to order him to rest. Ratchet gives in and gives (Y/N) a sedative to sleep.
"She can't be sedated for a long period; how's she going to recover?" Ratchet sighs, "but this is horrible pain."
A few days pass before the pain is manageable, and Jolt can start therapy. He knew the pain would increase as (Y/N) put weight on her legs. She holds on to Jolt tight, trying to ignore the pain. It is clear this will be a long process, increasing how far she walks every day. She's allowed to try walking several times a day, and there are other exercises for her to do to help her arm and leg. Though it's still going to be a few weeks before she can use her hand.
When she's ready to work on her hand, (Y/N) is walking with a cane. Bumblebee takes her for walks to the nearby park every day to help strengthen her leg. He also can help with this part of therapy by playing games with (Y/N) and doing other things with her that require the use of their hands.
"Well, you recovered faster than I thought," Ratchet praises, "three months, but I'm still not approving active duty for another month, ok? A little more rest and exercising your hand. You can go back to training, but not too rough."
"That's still impressive," Epps comments.
"I couldn't do it without Bee," (Y/N) smiles and kisses Bee.
Epps and Ratchet leave as Bee sits by the bed.
"You know, we could add to the rest period," he smiles.
"Bumblebee!" (Y/N) is shocked and playfully hits Bee.
