there's an immediate, but stifled, excitement when Wheeljack carries the sparkling into the rec room. everyone is excited, but heeding Ratchets warning and seeing the sparkling almost asleep, they keep quiet.
"I dunno Ratch, he may not even need a cube, he may just fall into stasis." Wheeljack chuckles. the sparkling shifts a little, pulling back some to glare at Wheeljack a little. "okay, okay. I'm sorry. we're not going to make you starve. I promise you." Wheeljack assures. Ratchet passes a cube over to him.
"don't tease him Jack. he needs energon before he takes a nap." Ratchet says. Wheeljack takes the cube and settles down on the couch, to feed the sparkling. Bumblebee doesn't even attempt to hide his excitement, walking over to crouch in front of the sparkling and smile.
"welcome back little one, you even had the human soldiers worried about you." Bumblebee smiles, rubbing his cheek gently. the sparkling grabs hold of his servo, pushing it away so it doesn't bother him.
"alright youngling, leave him be." Wheeljack chuckles.
"of course. just had to let him know we love him and are glad he's back." Bumblebee smiles, walking away. he goes back over to Sam, whose watching Wheeljack and the sparkling.
"Bee's right, I'm glad he's back." Epps says. the sparkling had brought happiness to the Autobots on base after Wills death, especially to Ironhide. the mech had taken a shine to the little sparkling and had clearly improved after the arrival of the sparkling.
"its great that he's back-" Sideswipe starts.
"shut your mouthplates, everyone. he's in stasis. don't wake him." Ironhide growls lowly, looking over at the sparkling. sure enough, the sparkling is in stasis, still sucking down the cube in his mouth.
"should I take the cube away?" Wheeljack asks, looking at Ratchet.
"no, not yet. just let him drink it until he's good and in stasis." Ratchet says. Wheeljack nods and cuddles the sparkling gently. "but don't let him choke." Ratchet warns.
"I won't." Wheeljack assures gently.
once they finally take the sparklings cube away, they decide to just wait, staying in the rec room. there's a happy buzz going around the base with the sparkling returned, mostly because the medic wasn't rampaging around screaming at everyone.
they're not sure if the sparklings gonna wake up or not, he's in such a heavy stasis, but he eventually rouses about 4 hours later. he slowly sits up off Wheeljacks chest plates, looking lost and sleepy.
"hey little one." Wheeljack murmurs. the sparkling yawns at him, before looking around the room. "do you want down?" Wheeljack asks, putting the little mechling down gently. he blinks looking around, sitting quietly on his knees. he looks ready to crawl away, but instead he flops over onto his side and just whines.
"Wheeljack, why is he laying on the floor crying?" Optimus asks, looking over.
"he's not crying. he's whining." Wheeljack chuckles, sitting up. "he just woke up so he's a little sleepy." Wheeljack says, reaching for the sparkling.
"no!" the sparkling pouts.
"what? who do you want?" Wheeljack asks. "I'll take you to them." Wheeljack smiles a little, kneeling beside the sparkling. the sparkling just whines. Wheeljack frowns looking around the room. neither Ironhide nor Ratchet are in the room, so that takes out his obvious choices. "who is it sparkling? who do you want? just tell me, I'll take you to them." Wheeljack murmurs. the sparkling whines, reaching for one of the bots.
"he's so sleepy Jack. why is he on the floor?" Ratchet asks. he scoops up the sparkling.
"nooo!!" he whines, squirming.
