(Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers; just Anwen, Liam and any other OC's I've added into the story :).)
(Authors Note: Hello, salutations, bonjour, and welcome my dearest readers, fellow writers, fangirls, fanboys, and TF fans of every size, shape, color, gender identification, sexual preference, nationality, religion, and genera! First of all, I apologize for the prolonged delay in uploading this chapter and updating this story. As you can probably tell, I've been rather occupied with writing/updating my TMNT FF's and have actually gone ahead and uploaded my Bayverse one. Yay! If you're curious, it's called 'Donatello's Desire' and you can easily find it in the Cartoons section, under Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as opposed to Ninja Turtles like my 2012 FF, 'A Street Cat in the Sewers'. Don't ask why I didn't just stick to one section or the other, even I can't explain my reasoning for it :D. Also, why the TMNT movies aren't under the movie section of the browser is beyond my understanding. Regardless, if you're interested in reading wither of them, feel free to pop over and take a look (and leave a review, if desired :)). Same thing applies to my other stories as well :). Anyways, on another side note, I'm so, so, so glad to be uploading this latest chapter for all of you to enjoy! I can't believe we've hit 53 chapters already: That's insane! I honestly didn't think this story would take off as far as it did, but I'm so glad to have been proven wrong on multiple occasions :). It means a lot to know that my story has brought so much joy to all of you and I just wanted to thank you all for your continued support and patience. Until next time, keep it classy, make good choices, stay hydrated, stay safe, stay sane, and stay amazingly awesome!)

Chapter 53
*Bzzz, Bzzz, Bzzz* "..Mm..Sunstreaker…*yawn* could you hand me my phone," Anwen tiredly asked as both she and her golden artist were rudely awakened by its persistent vibrating.
"..Mhm," he grabbed her cellphone and handed it to her, to which she answered without even glancing at the caller I.D.:
"..Oui?"
*:Hey Bleu, I'm sorry to wake ya, but I've been tryin' to get a hold of yer sparkmates; however, it seems they've gone an' turned off their Comm. links for some reason,:* Jazz's voice replied with a subtle smirk in his tone, causing her to smile.
"..Sorry about that."
*:Nah, you good. I just need ya to have them call me back ASAP.:*
"Alright, I'll let them know. Bonne nuit (Good night)."
*:Night, baby girl.:*
Upon hanging up her phone, Anwen lovingly kissed the golden mechs chassis, "..Sunstreaker?"
"Hm," he rubbed her shoulder and opened one of his optics to properly look at her.
"Jazz was trying to get a hold of you and Sideswipe, so you better Comm. him back."
He vented out a sigh and did just that while she reached through the bond and contacted her silver skater:
::Hey, sweetspark. I thought you'd be asleep by now: it's going on 0230.::
::Jazz called my cellphone because you and Sunstreaker have apparently turned off your Comm. link's.::
::Oh frag! I thought I turned it back on after I left the apartment.::
::Nope. You should call him back.::
::I'll do that right now. Thanks, Ani. I'll see you in a few hours.::
::Alrighty. I love you.::
::I love you too.::
Upon ending her conversation with Sideswipe, Anwen felt Sunstreaker shift and sit up on the bed, to which she asked, "What did Jazz have to say?"
*sigh* "He said Sides and I are to meet him and Ironhide on the tarmac in an hour. Apparently, we're being deployed to Russia and may be gone for a few weeks."
"What?! Why?"
"I don't know yet as details will be further discussed upon departure; however, if I had to guess, I'd say it's Decepticon or M.E.C.H related."
At that, Anwen's face paled. She knew how dangerous M.E.C.H had become since they joined forces with the Decepticons, as they were partially responsible for the attack on Diego Garcia. Grabbing his servo, she met his gaze and asked, "Will you stay with me until you have to leave? Please?"
"Of course," he then tenderly cupped her cheek and kissed her before a static sound caught their attention, to which Sideswipe's (small-scale) holoform appeared in the bedroom:
"Hey, sweetspark."
"Hey. I thought you'd still be guarding Barricade."
He shook his helm and approached the bed, "No. Jazz is having Mirage cover for me so I can spend the rest of my time here with you. I don't know if Sunny told you, but we may be gone for a few weeks or more, depending on how the mission goes or the circumstances we find ourselves in."
She sadly nodded, prompting him to sit on the edge of the bed and place a servo on her knee. "Oui, he mentioned that you two may be gone for a while. I know you both are obligated to follow orders, but that doesn't mean I have to like it."
"We know, sparklight," Sunstreaker kissed her temple, while Sideswipe rubbed her thigh. "We don't like the idea of leaving you either, but we'll always be in contact with you no matter how far away we are," he placed a servo over her heart, bringing a small smile to her freckled face.
A faint scratching at the bedroom door suddenly alerted them of Kenobi's presence, to which Sideswipe got up and opened it for the young pup. Having doubled in size since they first found him back in November, he no longer struggled to hop onto the bed, which he did just that upon being let into the room.
"Aww, mon petit ange (my little angel), did you want to say au revoir (goodbye) to Sideswipe and Sunstreaker too?"
He emitted a soft whine and wagged his tail while licking the older twin's servo. Granted, the golden frontliner normally detested such things, but he allowed it as he had admittedly grown rather fond of the hairy beast.

Parting with her sparkmates was bittersweet for Anwen, but she took comfort in knowing that she could feel them through the bond and talk to them whenever she desired. Staring out her kitchen window with a saddened look upon her face, she watched as their plane took off in the distance and gradually flew further away until it was no longer visible from her current location. While she wasn't a stranger to them leaving on missions, she had never experienced a situation where both of them were expected to go at the same time. It was usually just one or the other, but never both.
For the first time in a long while, the young ginger felt alone. Yes, she still had Kenobi, Liam, Maggie, and her other friends to keep her company, but as she was still in the 'honeymoon stage' of her sparkbond with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, she wasn't used to their absence outside of work hours.
Not wanting to dwell on her current situation, Anwen decided to take Kenobi out for a quick walk and potty break, but first, she needed to put on some clothes. Stepping back into the bedroom, she quickly donned her black one-piece swimsuit, periwinkle booty shorts and beach shoes before helping her young pup into his harness and attaching his leash. Afterwards, she grabbed her keys/lanyard and exited the apartment after locking the door behind her.
Upon taking the elevator down to the lobby, she exited the building with Kenobi happily trotting along beside her, and walked him for about fifteen minutes before heading back inside and fixing herself some tea while trying to ignore the fact that both of her mechs were absent and would likely be gone for a few weeks or longer.

::So, let me get this straight: We're heading to Russia to infiltrate and destroy a M.E.C.H warehouse full of robotic super soldiers that were created using our technology, courtesy of Starscream? And, to top it off, we're also hoping to take out one of their primary organizers, who just so happens to be the mastermind behind these abominable machines,:: Sunstreaker asked in the group Comm. chat.
::That's correct,:: Jazz answered. ::I know all this is rather sudden an' ya both weren't expectin' to be deployed at this Primus-forsaken hour, but if we wanna get the upper servo on these fraggers, we need to act fast. Barricade was courteous enough to provide us with the intel an' coordinates to our targeted destination. To verify his claim, our latest scans have picked up on increased Decepticon activity in the area which he described. Now, I doubt we'll be goin' up against their whole organization, but if we can eliminate their primary warehouse an' put a stop to their production line, we can significantly cripple them an' weaken their overall defenses.::
::Oh, breaking toys and kicking aft, that sounds right up our alley,:: Sideswipe added with a smirk in his tone.
::Well, that's partially why you both were chosen to accompany us,:: Ironhide gruffly replied. ::You two may be annoying piles of painted slag, but you're among some of the best soldiers I've had the honor of training. And if either of you tell anyone I said that, I'll shove my ped so far up your afts, you'll be coughing up ingots,:: he added with a slight growl, making the TIC chuckle on his end. ::That goes for you too, Jazz.::
::Noted. However, I don't think Prowl would appreciate ya shoving anything up ma aft without his consent,:: he quipped back with an obvious smirk in his tone, to which both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker started laughing.

After completing her morning swim and shower, and after dressing herself for the day, Anwen Bleu and Kenobi made their commute from the gym/pool and over to the chow hall where the warm, savory smell of breakfast foods wafted through the air.
"Buenos días, Azul. Y buenos días a ti también pequeño (Good morning, Bleu. And good morning to you too, little one)," Mama Rosita addressed the young ginger and her pup as they approached the counter, to which Kenobi happily wagged his tail and emitted a soft bark in greetings.
"Bonjour, Mama Rosita. How was your weekend?"
"Oh, it was wonderful! I talked to mi familia (my family) on the computer and learned that my youngest son and his wife are going to have a baby."
"Wow! Congratulations!"
"Gracias (Thank you)," she replied with a smile as she dished up her breakfast, which consisted of hot scrambled eggs and chorizo, mixed fruit, and a freshly baked cinnamon roll. She then reached underneath the counter and pulled out a large milk bone biscuit before placing it on the side of her tray so she could give it to Kenobi. "Now, you enjoy your desayuno (breakfast) and I'll see you later. Also, tell your hombre (man) to be more gentle with you," she added in a hushed tone as she subtly gestured to the two large hickeys on her neck, causing Anwen to bashfully smile and fiercely blush, knowing Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were responsible for said hickeys.
Those beautifully sexy sonsofbitches.
"I will. Merci, Mama Rosita," she politely bowed her head in thanks before lesiurly rolling into the dining area with Kenobi following alongside her. Upon sitting down, she handed him his biscuit, which he happily accepted and leisurely munched on as she dug into her breakfast.
(Another Authors Note: So, I know this chapter wasn't kinky like the previous ones, but I still hope you all found it enjoyable nonetheless. Also, the 'beautifully sexy sonsofbitches' comment just popped into my head and I absolutely had to add it into the chapter LOL It just rolls off the tongue LOL Anyways, until next time, stay awesome!)
