Life to A Fault

Chapter 10: Medical Attention needed

~Ratchet's POV~

I try desperately to heal Sam, but there's nothing I can really do. I can't put her bones back together, my servos are too big! I go into Optimus's room. "Has she been fixed?!" He asked desperately. "No, there's nothing I can do for her, she's too small for me to work on. I'm sorry Optimus, but your only chance of finding the Allspark is lost, I'm sorry." I tell him. "That's not the reason I wanted you to fix her." he said. "Oh? Then why do you want her fixed? She is only a human child." I say. "She's not just a human child Ratchet. Do you remember the prophecy?" He asks. "Yes, everyone knows the prophecy, an alien child will be born and be the reincarnation of Viper Prime, and she will be the one that ends the war. Why wouldn't I?" I answer. "That's not all of the prophecy old friend." Optimus says.

"I don't understand. What do you mean?" I ask. "The prophecy says that the girl will be born a human, but transformed into the daughter of the last living Prime." he says. It was true. That was the prophecy. "But your not saying she's....?" I didn't dare finish. "My daughter? Well, I'm sorry old friend, but that's the only reason I want her back." I was speechless.

"But how? Optimus, she's a human! Your Cybertronian! How could it be possible!?" I say. "I know your confused, but that's the only reason we've tried so hard to show her, were alive." Optimus says. I just say, "I'll try as hard as I can to fix her, but I might need some human medical help." "Thank you old friend." Optimus says. He hugs me, while I hug him back. It wasn't normal that he acts like this. But I accepted it. I feel tears coming down my back. Optimus is really desperate! I stop hugging him. I walk out trying to think of a way to help her.

I think of an idea and get to work. As I'm working, I hear Arcee come in. "Can Jack see Sam? He's been talking about it all day." Arcee asks. I answer, "Yes, but he might not like the condition she's in." Immediately I see Jack come over on my shoulder and see him looking at my work. "Oh my gosh..." He whispers. He starts to cry. Both Optimus and Jack are really emotional about this! But I can understand Jack. Just not Optimus. Why hasn't he told us before? I just about finish patching up all my incisions when I hear footsteps. "Is she doing ok?" I hear Raf say. "I think she'll be fine, she has all her life supports secure, and her heart is still intact, although I don't know how, but besides that, she's fine, all we have to do now is wait." I answer with pride. "How long do we have to wait exactly?" I hear Jack say, him still being on my shoulder. "About 2 Earth days at most."
