While Mirage was with his precious sparklings and Optimus was chatting with Mirage's newly found siblings, Bee headed home from the med bay. The developing sparklings were okay, but Bee felt heavy in his spark, due to what he had had to reveal to Optimus. Bee wasn't sure how to feel about all of this, as it had not been a pleasant time. Bee didn't realize it, but while he was musing, he found himself walking back to his quarters.
By the time Bee realized it, he was inside the quarters and sitting on the couch. He appeared a bit out of it. "Love?" Jumper asked, a bit bothered by how Bee was acting, as Jumper had never seen this side of Bee before.
"Yes, hon?" Bee answered, still feeling a bit weighed down.
"You seem out of it. Mind telling me what is going through your processor?" Jumper asked, figuring that this may have to do with the fact that Bee was sparked this time.
Bee sighed, as he wasn't sure Jumper wanted to hear it. "I am not sure that is a wise idea, my love" Bee responded. Thankfully, their young daughters were sound asleep and sound rechargers once in recharge.
"We are mates, family. Anything that bothers you this much I must know about. I don't want the sparklings you carry to suffer" Jumper replied.
Bee winced slightly. He had forgotten about those little ones for a second. Bee sighed before telling of what had bothered him – what he had revealed about the truthful past of Mirage and Mirage's so-called loving parents. The whole thing hurt, as bee had buried this information for years. Bee told Jumper everything, even things that Bee hadn't told Mirage or Optimus. Jumper just held his mate close as Bee just let it all go and finally told of some of the things that had happened.
After some time, Bee went quiet, as he had no more to say. Bee was worried that Jumper would abandon Bee now that Bee had revealed all this stuff. Instead, Jumper pulled Bee closer. Bee was stunned. "Bee, we are mates. I would never leave you. And much of this doesn't surprise me, as your spark revealed much of it to me when we bonded. I love you more now that you told me, as it helps me to know how better to care for you, especially while you are sparked." Bee snuggled close. He had needed that love and reassurance, and upon receiving it, he felt much better. Jumper just held his mate, knowing that for now, Bee needed this.
