The Daughter of a Prime

Party Time and a Big Surpise

(Stacy P.O.V.)

It has been a few weeks since we have gotten Teddy and he has settled in well and has been my cuddle buddy when Ironhide isn't home, he is also my lab partner and shop supervisor because like all supervisors he sits and watches me. Everyone on base just loves him even the Autobots.

Today I have decided to throw a big Fourth of July party with everyone at NEST and let me tell you something it's not easy.

"Hey Stace where do you want the high grade synth-en at?"

"Put it out by the cooler with the rest of the drinks Ab."

That's Abby is one of my closest human friends at Base. She had short redish blond hair that stops at the bottom of of her neck and beautiful brown eyes. She stands at five foot even and on top of that she is the new Vessel for the alspark.

A lot of people believe that Sam Witwiky became the new vessel for the alspark but that isn't true his twin sister Abby Witwiky is. After the whole thing in Egypt Abby hugged Sam and well. All the alsparks energy and knowledge went from him to her.

Since then she and Bumblebee have become sparkmates and she is so happy. She practically radiates happiness when ever she's around the young mech. They are a good match for each other if I do say so myself.

Anyway Abby and I are preparing for the party which is going to be at my house with fireworks, a cookout and all that jazz. It should be a lot of fun. The only thing I'm worried about is if Teddy has PTSD. It's the one thing holding me back from the fireworks because I don't want to scare him, but the only way to find out with a dog is to test it. So I guess we'll find out to night...

"Alright everything is set up all that's left to do is wait for everyone to show up." Abby chirped and I smiled.

"Fiona?" I call out to the house.

"Yes ma'am?" Fiona is like my own version of Jarvis. I was sitting at home alone one night with Teddy because Ironhide was on a mission and I got bored. So I started watching Ironman to help kill the boredom. When I got the idea to make my own version of Jarvis and thus Fiona was created. Best invention I have ever made next to the Hummstrike.

"When will the guests be arriving?" I asked

"The first guest should be arriving in twenty minutes ma'am."

I nodded and went back to a bit of spit cleaning when I heard a grunt come from the doorway. "I'm still not use to that."

I chuckled at Ironhide's slight discomfort and walked over to him placing a gentle peck on his holoforms lips. "You will don't worry and welcome home my love. You're just in time to help bring the food outside on the patio and get the grill fired up so we can start cooking he hamburgers and hotdogs for the party." I smiled brightly at my sparkmate knowing he wouldn't say no. He knew it was for not. So he simply nodded and did as he was told.

"Bee says him and the others are on their way over." Abby calls from outside and I smile.

"Great! Then we can really get this party started."

Sure enough roughly ten minutes later twenty cars baring the Autobot insignia and a whole lot more that bare the NEST insignia pull up my gravel driveway and park. Autobots and humans alike make their way to my back yard to the festivities and for a night of fun.

(Ironhide's P.O.V.)

It was finally dark which meant it was time for what humans called fireworks. Stacy says that hey are beautiful and they explode. So you know at lest the last part is up my ally.

Everyone was either in the pool, the hot tub, sitting in lawn chairs or sitting on blankets on the ground waiting for the first firework to be shot into the night sky. Then it finally happened. A high pitched whistling sound was heard by all and then an explosion fallowed by a splash of red in the night sky.

At the sound of the first firework being shot off I thought my audio respecters picked up a whimpering sound from near the house. At first I simply brushed it off and went back to watching this colorful display in the night. That was until I heard it again.

I looks around and the only thing that seemed to be off was the fact that Teddy wasn't near us like he usually is. When the whimper was heard by me once more after another explosion in the sky I decided to investigate. I kiss Stacy's temple and told her I would be right back and stood up from our place in the grass.

I walked closer to the house fallowing the sound and when I turned the corner I saw Teddy curled up in a little ball shaking with fear. My spark nearly broke seeing him like this. He's usually so full of happiness and life but this, this is fear placed deep in his heart by the war he once served in. He's remembering those horrible days and probably the one that's even worse. The day his partner died.

I walked over to him and sat down right beside his shaking form and gently stroked his head at first. When he felt my gentle touch he looked up at me and whined. I felt so bad for our little guy so cautiously I picked him up and took him into the house.

He was still shaking as I closed the windows in mine and Stacy's bedroom to try and damper the sound of the explosions even by a little bit. Once that was done I sat down on the floor with him once more and just petted him. Trying to reassure him that everything was okay and that he safe. Never before I have I felt such a strong connection with a creature. No not a creature a solider, a war hero just like me. His missing leg is a testament of his bravery and sacrifice. That will stand the test of time. Well at lest in my optics it will.

(Stacy's P.O.V.)

After two hours the fireworks ended and Ironhide still wasn't back yet. I have something important that I need to tell him and I was hoping to do so right after the grand finally. I looked around and saw Ironhide come out of the house with Teddy close behind him.

I guess Teddy must have had a PTSD attack and my sweet Hide stayed with him to help calm him. I smiled as I saw him approach me and I wrapped my arms around his neck. While his wrapped around my waist.

"That was sweet of you. To help Teddy through that. Most people would have just taken him into the house and left it at that."

"Well I'm not most people." Ironhide looks down at me in his arms with a smirk and pecks my lips sending a wave of love and affection through the bond making me smile.

"Ironhide I have something really important I need to tell you." I say all serious my light tone replace though my voice will carried happiness with it.

"What is it sweetspark?" The confusion was clear on his face at my sudden change in ton and I also feel it through the bond.

"Ironhide, I'm-"

"Stacy?"

I freeze stiffening in Ironhide's arms as I hear the voice I never thought I would hear again in this life. I release Ironhide from my grip and I turn around slowly. My eyes widen as I look upon the man I never thought I would see again.

"Jason?"
