You are my Sunshine

In a small house in Kaon, there sat a femme with her twin sparklings. Her bonded was out and working to bring home energon and to pay for the small house they had. She lifted the older of her two sons carefully in her arms as she placed her feeding tube to his mouth and let him get his fill of energon before carefully placing him in his little berth and picking up the younger twin. She let him feed as she hummed softly. Her sparklings had become her life apart from her bonded and she would do anything for them. As the younger twin finished feeding, she laid him down beside his brother and tucked them in before leaving the room to clean the house before her bonded returned home. She knew that it wasn't her responsibility, but she never cared for messes and she felt that if she didn't, her bonded would come home and do it after working all day and then what type of bond would she be. Plus almost all of the mess was from her or her sparklings.

As she cleaned, she kept humming to herself. She loved her music and one day she planned on writing a song for her sparklings. One that would be theirs alone, but to this orn she couldn't think of lyrics that fit the tune she would hum for them.

"Honey, I'm home," her bonded said as he entered the door.

"How was work today?" she asked as she approached him and kissed him softly.

"As good as it can get," he smiled as he handed her a cube of energon he picked up on the way home. "How are the sparklings?"

"They are fed and laying down," she smiled as she took the cube and poured a tiny portion into two cups for them and stored the rest.

Handing her bonded one of the two cups, they sat down on their berth and drank the energon silently. As soon as she finished her energon, she started to hum her tune softly.

"Have you thought of lyrics for that tune yet?"

"Nothing yet. I feel like I am on the edge though. I feel as if it's on the tip of my glossa and it's just about to slip out. I just need a little more time," she told him as she placed her cup on their single side table and laid down.

"It will come with time, love," he responded as he placed his cup down beside hers and laid down with his only one and fell into recharge with her.

Late into the night, the femme awoke and looked around the room before feeling tears fall from her optics. Her bonded was gone, but she could feel him. Leaving the room, she found a note on a data pad near the energon saying he was called into work. Relaxing a bit, she started towards her berth only to hear one of her sparklings awake. Entering the room, she lifted her yellow son in her arms and sat in the chair in their room. As she rocked him and hummed the tune, lyrics started to leave her mouth.

"The other night dear, as I was recharging', I dreamt I held you in my arms, when I awoke dear, I was mistaken, and I hung my helm and cried," she sang softly as she looked at the sparkling in her arms. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, You make me happy when skies are gray, You'll never know dear, how much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away."

The yellow sparkling smiled the best he could for his age as he fell into recharge and the femme knew that she had finally found the lyrics for the tune she had hummed to her sparklings this entire time. Smiling she laid her sleeping yellow sparkling down into his berth next to his brother before going back to her berth and falling back into recharge.

Years Later

Word spread quickly that assassins were out to find the twins genitors due to their knowledge in things above their helms. The femme wouldn't allow them to take her younglings. She didn't want them killed for their parents knowledge. She quickly packed as much as she could in a small bag for them to take with them. In the bag, she included her sparklings drawing supplies as well as energon and a few toys for each of them. She quickly ran to the other room to see her bonded making sure that their twins were getting their fill of energon. She smiled as she watched them. At least they would live and be happy she thought as she walked into the room and lifted her yellow twin into her arms as her bonded lifted their red twin into his arms and headed out quickly.
