The Daughter of a Prime

Recovery

(Stacy's P.O.V.)

I woke up from my slumber and looked around in a panic taking in my surroundings. I was tense and worried that I had been captured once more by the Decpeticon's. I relaxed once I saw I was in my own bedroom in my own home safe and sound.

I pulled back the covers to take stock of my injuries. I had found that I was in a pair of black sofy shorts and my torso was simply wrapped in gauze and medical tape leaving me covered there. I looked down over my right leg and found roughly twenty stitches from where Megatron had stabbed my thigh.

Shuddering as I remembered what happened to me at the hands of the war lord, I try to push those unpleasant thoughts aside as I throw my blankets back. I carefully move myself to the side and place my feet on the floor quietly. Hearing the voices down stairs I can tell all the bots were here and from the sound of roaring engines coming up my gravel drive so was Dom and Brian.

I carefully stood up but my right leg gave out from my merger weight of 115 pounds and I collapsed to the floor with a thud. I groan as pain travels like ocean waves through my body. "That probably wasn't my brightest idea."

Just as I start to slowly pull myself up from soft white carpeting of my bedroom floor I heard three distinct footsteps thundering up the stairs and not a moment later the door burst open revealing my father, my sparkmate, and Ratchet rushing inside.

"Sweetspark?!" Ironhide's voice rang out above all and it was silent down stairs. "Are you alright? What were you thinking?!" His panic was evident in his voice, his eyes and was writen all over his face.

"I was hoping to stretch my legs a little. But gravity had other plans." Note the sarcasm people.

Ratchet chuckled at my comment and I nearly collapsed again. Doc bot actually laughed. I guess the old rust bucket has a since of humor after all.

Oppi and Ironhide carefully helped me up and set me back onto mine and Hides bed we shared so Ratchet examined my injures. "You are healing well Stacy and it seems your Cybertronian half has allowed you to heal faster than a normal human would. Your fast healing may have saved your life. Along with Barricade's quick actions in getting you here once you were both off the warship."

I stared at him confused for a moment until memories started to float back to me about how I got off the Nemesis. Barricade saved me and brought me home because Megatron... I shock my head unable to finish that train of thought. Though it was obvious Ironhide caught bits of my thoughts from the sad look in his eyes.

"Did you thank him? Barricade?"

"We have and he has switched sides." Ironhide answered.

I smile softly at the thought of Barricade finally joining us even though it was without the one he stayed a Con for. "How is he doing?"

"Better than most I believe. However I believe he is how you humans say bottling up a lot of his pain. Afraid to show us his weakened state afraid of what we might think of him." Oppi answered "Once you are well again you may talk with him about this. But until than you must rest and recover."

I nodded at my fathers words already feeling tired as Ironhide helps me lay back and pulls the covers over us both. He having kicked his shoes off before climbing into bed with me. Oppi kisses my forehead and Ratchet lightly pats my shoulder before they both walk out.

Ironhide wraps his arms around my waist gently and carefully pulling me closer to him. Holding me tight as if I would disappear at any moment. "Hide baby I'm okay I'm still alive. I'm still here."

I could feel him shake as he buried his head into the crook of my neck. I carefully reached around and stroked his cheek. I was taken aback a bit when I felt my fingers come across a wetness than soon relizes my neck had the same feeling as well. Ironhide was crying. I was shocked I could feel the sadness, guilt, fear and pain through our bond but I had never felt or seen Hide cry before.

"I-I am so sorry I wasn't there to protect you Sweetspark. I should have been there to stop it to save you. I wish I-" I shushed him cutting him off as his tears flowed down his cheeks. I cood my ever strong weapons specialist softly calming him enough to where his unneeded breath evened out once more.

"Baby please don't blame yourself for what has happened here. You were on a mission you can't always protect me and the world all at once my love. Ironhide I love with all my heart and I know without a shadow of a doubt that you spent every minute that you were back looking for me. We are at war shit like this happens and we can't stop it. It comes with being at war. I have accepted this my darling especially being the daughter of Optimus Prime and the sparkmate of the autobot's weapons specialist. It is dangerous but we can not live our lives in fear. Once we do the despeticons win and we can never let that happen."

I felt him nod against my neck before placing a gentle kiss on my shoulder. "Always right sweetspark as is your father. You need rest and lost of it. Get some sleep I will be here once you wake up."

I nodded slowly before drifting up into a dreamless sleep cuddled up next to my sensitive, strong, loving and protective weapons specialist.

(Ironhide's P.O.V.)

Once Stacy was asleep I couldn't help but thing about the argument I had with Sideswip just hours after Ratchet had put her to bed. My mind began to wonder as...

(Hello hello my lovelies! You get to descied what Sideswip says to Ironhide! Will he say she was better off with him or something else! You get to choice my loves! So have at it! Love you all and I own nothing just Stacy her mother Jason her brother and the plot! Love you! ❤️❤️❤️)
