Bumblebee and Arcee held servos as Nightingale skipped in front of them. Bee had decided to take Arcee and Nightingale to see an old place on Cybertron that hasn't been seen in years. When they got there Arcee felt a wave of pain wash over her as she saw the old place in ruins. Nightingale thought it was the coolest thing she had ever seen and ran up to Bee and said tag. Shortly after Bee and Nightingale were playing tag. As soon as it started it ended, Bee looked at the place, images flashed in his mind as the mission he was on here came back to him.

Arcee must have noticed him and what he was thinking of because she walked up to him and took his hand off the spot where his voice box was. Arcee then pulled him into a hug as she tried to keep herself together and not break down. Arcee saw the memory play in her mind, Bumblebee losing his voice box, it replayed over and over again to no end.

"Uncle Bee, Auntie Cee what's wrong?"

Arcee couldn't help but smile at the small femme. She was so caring for everyone if she met Megatron she would probably treat him like an Autobot. Arcee picked up Nightingale and hugged her.

"We are fine little one"

The three walked back into town Bee and Arcee holding servo's and little Nightingale skipping ahead of them. Half way home Nightingale turned her helm to see two older bots walking one holding a sparkling. She turned to look back at her Auntie and Uncle who weren't holding a sparkling or had one at all.

"Auntie? Uncle?"
"What's wrong little one?"
"Why don't you and Auntie Arcee have a sparkling?"

Both froze and looked at each other, this was Subject the two tired to avoid when having a conversation. Everyone from team prime knew why but kept it to themselves. Arcee looked sad and so did Bee until he smiled and looked at Nightingale and transformed into his prime killer form.

"Well Silly! We have you to watch! Your like our sparkling!"

The little femme couldn't help but laugh as her uncle came after her and tickled her with his snout.





Nightingale's POV

I felt my spark drop as I remembered asking my Aunt and Uncle that question. If I had known the truth I would have never asked. I learned one night when I started arguing with my Uncle. Right when me and him started drifting apart was when everything got worse. But anyways it turns out they did have a Sparkling a year or two after I was born. It was a little femme named Lilac, she loved my aunt and uncle but grew a bigger and stronger connection with my uncle. Lilac loved to see my uncle in his Prime Killer form just like I do.

But I learned that very night of our argument that she died because of my uncle. When I heard this I thought it was all false I was only 18 vorns old so I was very hard headed like my Sire and didn't take bots seriously. But when my uncle explained in more in depth it felt more real. My uncle came home from working a long day at the academy and Lilac was very excited to see him and was waiting to play like they did every time he got home. He took her out to go play in a wide open area where they would always play.

That day there was a decepticon hiding from police units in that exact place. Lilac had run into the decepticon and tried to hurt her but my uncle stopped the con. As my uncle attacked the con it threw a purple substance that Megatron had used when my uncle was younger to control him. That substance was why the con was hiding. It was hard for my uncle to stay out of the control of the con but he ended up killing the con. The substance hadn't worn off yet and Lilac ran up to my uncle hugging his leg and hiding her faceplate in it.

Lilac looked up to meet purple eyes and sharp teeth followed by a growling sound. She thought he was playing and ran and my uncle chased her. My aunt was hunting down the con when she heard he was in the field. She lost it and ran as fast as she could to the field finding the destroyed body and found the bottle with half of the substance still in it. My aunt looked up with fear in her optics seeing Lilac. She then saw my uncle who had a crazed look in his optics. My aunt ran for Lilac and as Lilac ran to my aunt she ran between her legs causing my uncle to follow knocking over my aunt.

My aunt didn't have enough time to get up and could only watch which pained her whole spark. Lilac was laughing until her screams could be heard that was soon covered by the roar of my uncle throwing himself onto her and latching onto her neck. According to my uncle he picked her up by the neck like a rag doll and placed her on the ground. She started to cry saying "Sire...Please.. Your hurting me! Please let go! Sire! Please!" But my uncle couldn't stop through all her crying she lifted her servo up and placed it on his snout and then ran a digit over the new scar over his optic. He soon ripped her spark out in front of him and my aunt.

That's how I was told it went and my uncle said when he gained his control back he cried into her dead body. My aunt never blamed him though because he said she knew it wasn't him that was in control and that he would never hurt his little femme. After all those fights I had with my uncle and hearing that story and why he was always so protective of me made me feel really guilty. In one argument he told me he had been having nightmares of him killing me and my aunt with out hesitation. After hearing that and then the story I realized something big. I had grown the same connection with my uncle that he had with Lilac, his daughter, who he never got to see grow. I was the closest and only thing he had close to Lilac. I can't tell you how many times I cried I even went to my grandsire's house and he showed me all the pictures he had of Lilac after I told him everything. He told me one thing that I will never forget.

"We make many mistakes and get stuck with many problems. When you think you have it the worse remember that fight and your uncle had because he has had it the hardest"

And to this day I still remember it. And I still think back on it when me and my uncle have fights. We haven't had any lately due to where we're at and that he always fighting with Sideswipe and Strongarm who don't listen at all. I really wish I could take back all those things I ever said. But once you say something you can't take it back.

I'm so sorry uncle Bee. I really wish you were here Lilac to help guild your Sire in this very hard time for him.

This hurt some much to write😣 I'm sorry if it hurts you
