Family

Chapter 13

"well, it appears we're cuddling." Prowl replied. "I often cuddle with my bondmate." Prowl added without hesitation.

"you're bondmate is a worthless bumbler, who appears to be getting chubby." Sentinel sneered.

"at least he's not a fragging afthead with his helm stuck up his tail pipe like you." Prowl responded. Bumblebee snickered, covering his mouth.

"you think thats funny!? you better close your mouths plates bumbler!" Sentinel growled. Prowl got up setting Bumblebee on his peds.

"or you'll what?" Bumblebee ask.

"I'll-" Sentinel started.

"go a head, threaten him with violence." Prowl said cracking his knuckles. Jazz winced and grabbed Sari.

"c'mon Sari I'll take you home." Jazz said leaving quickly.

"I don't need to threaten him with anything. with the way he's gaining wait, he'll offline himself in no time." Sentinel smirked. to everyone's surprise it wasn't Prowl that struck the prime, but Bumblebee.

"if you only knew how much I wanted to murder you right now! you'd just shut your bit slagging mouth!" Bumblebee shouted. Prowl snickered at the shocked look on Sentinels face, ready to step in and kick Sentinels aft the second Bumblebee needed him.

"why you little!" Sentinel growled, reaching out to slap Bumblebee. in an instant, Prowl grabbed Sentinels wrist and flipped him over him and Bumblebee, throwing the Prime onto his back.

"servos off my bondmate if you want to keep them." Prowl hissed. Sentinel coughed at the rough landing on his back. Ratchet snickered softly at the steaming couple. Sentinel got up, shoving Prowl and Bumblebee aside as he did so. Optimus and Ratchet were quick to catch the two, though they focused more on Bumblebee. Prowl pushed Optimus' servos off of him and looked to make sure Bumblebee was alright. Ratchet was knelt beside the beetle, who was rubbing his chestplate, but otherwise seemed unharmed. Prowl dusted himself off calmly and looked at Sentinel, throwing four of his shurikens at the Prime angrily. "I knew you weren't the smartest bot in the universe, but I didn't realize how much of an idiot you were." Prowl growled, charging the Prime. Ratchet and Optimus quickly and gently helped Bumblebee up onto his peds.

"alright c'mon kid lets get ya out of here for Prowl does some serious damage." Ratchet said. Bumblebee nodded slightly letting his father help him out of the room. Wheeljack, met them halfway to the medbay. Bumblebee assumed Ratchet had commed him.

"did he hurt him?" Wheeljack ask.

"there's a dent in the back of his helm, where I caught him, but other then that he seems okay." Ratchet replied.

"I'm fine." Bumblebee assured them both.

"I'll believe that when I see it on my equipment." Ratchet replied.

"what he means is, he's more worried about what the shoving did to the sparkling." Wheeljack said.

"I know." Bumblebee muttered. "from what I can tell the sparkling is just fine." Bumblebee said.

"you can't tell if something physically is wrong with the sparkling. all you know is the signals it's spark is sending yours. if it's hurt it may not know how bad." Ratchet said. Bumblebee winced holding his extended belly. "see thats exactly what I mean." Ratchet added.

"alright move. step-dad to the rescue." Wheeljack muttered, scooping Bumblebee up gently. "seeing as Ratchets too old to do this." Wheeljack teased.

"I'm only 21 ano-cycles older then you!" Ratchet growled. Bumblebee giggled softly at the bickering.

"you two are the best to spend time with. you're just hilarious to listen to." Bumblebee laughed. Wheeljack chuckled setting the beetle down on the medical berth. Ratchet motioned for him to lay back and Bumblebee did so. Ratchet moved quickly to check on the sparkling.
