It took a few more hours, but soon Optimus and the four newest sparklings were able to come home. Aquaformer made sure all five were settled in before she went to get their six other little ones. Aquaformer knew that ten sparklings would be a lot for them to raise, but she would try her hardest to raise them and raise them right, with help from her mate Optimus, of course.
Aquaformer headed to the room where bee and Mirage usually watched over the sparklings, only to find it quiet. She didn't want to worry, but she thought something felt wrong. Quietly, in case the little ones were napping, Aquaformer entered the quarters. She quietly searched, but there was no one to be found – no Mirage, no Bumblebee, no sparklings of any kind. Aquaformer was quietly panicking as she didn't like this. She didn't like this at all and her "mama bear instincts" as humans called them were quickly coming forth.
Then, just before she was going to comm her mate and tell him that their little ones were missing in action, Aquaformer noticed a quickly scribbled datapad note on a counter. She figured she would check it to see if it contained any pertinent information as to where her precious little ones were. She read the note that said, "dear Optimus, Aquaformer, Jazz, and Prowl, please don't be alarmed if you come in and find no one here. The little ones were getting bored and restless. And since the Decepticons are no longer an issue, we have taken the liberty to bring your little ones just outside the base." The note was signed by Bee and Mirage.
Aquaformer was absolutely furious at reading the note. How dare they move her little ones without personally comming her and letting her know what they were planning on doing. She headed straight for the main door of the base that led to the outdoors. Her sparklings had better have been safe or they would be hell to pay, as Aquaformer was that protective of her little ones.
Back in the room, Optimus, although dozing, could feel his mate's rage and anger. And fearing for her, he commed. "Optimus to Aquaformer, come in Aquaformer" he commed worriedly.
"Aquaformer here" the femme answered bluntly, obviously enraged.
"Why are you so upset?" Optimus asked, not understanding.
"Well, love, I went to go get our little ones from the room where Bee and Mirage usually watch them…But found NO ONE there…" was as far as Aquaformer got before even Optimus became angered at what had happened. Optimus called another bot to watch the newest four little ones and soon a very pissed off Aquaformer was joined by an equally enraged Optimus and both were frantically searching for just where their sparklings were at that time. Bee and Mirage had no idea the trouble that they had caused or were about to be in, as they failed to realize just how protective sparkling mothers were of their precious sparklings.
