While they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Prime had already taken down the sound dampening after he called his son.

"Is that Vince?"

"Yes it is. I called him in so I can tell him about his mother."

Then Prime pushed the button to open his office door. Vince walked in and sat down in the chair that sat in front of his dad's desk.

"I didn't know Throttle was here. I can come back later, dad."

"No. Please stay seated, son." Prime pushed the button to shut the door and then put up the sound dampening so no one can hear the conversation that's about to commence.

"So, what's going on? I heard mom went to the hospital. How is she?"

Prime lowered his head in sadness. Vince had an idea what that meant. He looked between his father and stepfather.

"Dad? Throttle? What is going on? Is mom ok or not?"

"Vince, your mother passed away today. Just 2 hrs. ago."

Vince couldn't believe what he was hearing. He sat there in total shock.

"What? How?"

Throttle started explaining how it all started for Wolf to land in the hospital. Vince didn't interrupt one time while his stepfather explained.

"There's nothing the hospital could have done to help mom?"

"She needed multiple surgeries, but succumbed to her illness before she could get them."

Vince looked at his stepfather and saw him crying. It broke his spark to see his stepfather crying.

"I hate seeing you cry, Throttle. Mom isn't suffering anymore. She's at peace now."

Prime noticed how well his son was taking all this. It made him proud. He expected his son to start throwing a temper tantrum, but he's being mature about his mother's death.

"I know what you're thinking dad. I'm hurting inside, but I know I have to be strong on the outside. Somone has to be strong for poor Throttle."

"Your mother would be so proud of you, son. I know I am."

"Thanks dad. I know in some small way, my brothers are happy to see mom again. I know I'll never see her again."

"One day we will all be reunited with her. For now, we must live on in her memory."

Throttle was about to say something when he thought better of it. He didn't want to do the same thing that was done with him. Optimus noticed and looked his way.

"You were about to say something, Throttle. What's on your mind?"

"I thought about the process that was done with me, but I don't think it would be a good idea."

"Why not?"

"Cause it would be selfish of me to want her back when I know she should rest in peace."

Vince started crying. Prime stood up and came around his desk and sat down next to his son. He pulled him closer and held him.

Throttle felt bad for even saying anything now.

"I'm sorry, Vince. I shouldn't have said anything."

"I know you didn't mean anything by it but I think my son needs some time with his mother. I will also ask Ratchet and Wheeljack to build a cryogenic chamber for her 'til we decide what to do with her body."

"Is it possible to go see her then?"

"Of course." Then he looked at his son. "Are you going to be ok, Vince?"

"In time I will, dad. Can I come with you and Throttle to see mom?"

"Of course you can. We'll just have to use our holoforms to go inside the hospital."

"I'm fine with that. I'm going to miss her so much, dad. Its not fair."

"I know its not, but there's nothing we can do, but move on."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Prime, Throttle and Vince showed up in the SUV. Prime drove. Throttle wasn't in the right frame of mind to drive. It's a good thing Vince and Prime can separate their holoforms from their Autobot bodies when needed.

They arrived at the hospital in about 20 mins. They still couldn't believe that Wolf was gone. Throttle knew it was a matter of time 'til he follows behind his wife.

Both Vince and Optimus have grown to love having Throttle around. Optimus was proud of his daughter. He was glad that she had found a good man, er, mouse to spend her life with.

Vince loved his mother so much. He wanted to lash out, but knew it would do him no good. He knew his father needed him right now. Vince hated seeing his father broken sparked. He knew how much his mother meant to his father.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After Prime parked the car, they got out and walked towards the hospital double sliding doors. Optimus was glad that Primus sent Ratchet and Wheeljack back to them. Especially now. Ratchet had come to enjoy Wolf's company in med bay every now and then. Wheeljack felt the same way. He loved when Wolf would come in and help him with his latest invention. Optimus has no idea how they're going to take the news that Wolf is gone. Ratchet may destroy his med bay. Wheeljack may close himself off and not do a thing in his workshop ever again.

The doctor walked up and greeted the trio. He was very sorry for their loss. They all nodded then Prime spoke up.

"May we see my daughter, Doctor?"

"Of course. This way, please." The doctor lead them to her room so they can say good-bye to her for the final time.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The Doctor opened the door and let them in, then told them that he had other things to do. He will be back a little later to go over the paperwork on what to do with her body.

After the Doctor left, Throttle closed the door. They wanted privacy. Prime pulled out his cell phone and called Ratchet. He knew it was a matter of time 'til both Ratchet and Wheeljack found out what happened to Wolf.

Ratchet was surprised that Prime was calling him from a cell phone.

"What can I do for you, Prime?"

"I need you and Wheeljack to build a cryogenic chamber for Wolf and bring it here to the hospital."

"Can I ask why and what happened to her?"

Optimus sighed. Ratchet heard how shaky Optimus' voice was.

"I'm so sorry, Prime. I…I've come to enjoy her company in med bay. She loved to come in and help me with simple things. Wheeljack isn't going to be happy about this, either. He has also enjoyed her company. She was always in there, helping him with his latest invention. Which always made me happy cause I wasn't having to repair him if his invention blew him up."

"Will you both do it?"

"I will go talk to him and find out. I can't promise anything, Prime. How's her mate and son dealing with this?"

"Vince is trying to stay strong for us. He knows how broken hearted we are."

"You've got a good kid, Optimus. He's allowing you both to cry. You and Throttle wear your feelings on your sleeve, so to speak. You both loved Wolf dearly. I know she means a lot to you 3 and we will give her the best military funeral she deserves. Again, my deepest condolences."

"Thank you, Ratchet. Please let me know if Wheeljack will help you."
