Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 41: New Beginnings

I apologize for posting this late. Today... today was long. I helped my grandma move for seven hours. Then I had to deal with some... really heavy things with my family. No one is dead, just you know, things that could be considered worst. This chapter hasn't been proof read yet, I also apologize for any mistakes.

I'm sad to say this is the last chapter for this story. So far planned, there isn't going to be a sequel. I don't even know what it would be even about. Aubrey got what she wanted, even though she didn't know it at first. Nonetheless, thank you. Thank you all for staying through this wonderful story. Thank you for your comments, they always bring a smile to my face. It's always hard to end a story, but with this one, I'm happy with.

One last thing: Happy Holidays! Or if you don't celebrate anything: enjoy the couple of days or weeks off! MidnightHowling, signing off.

Morning rolled around closer than I wanted as the sun started to rise and shine through the windows. I groggily opened my eyes and whined from the soreness in my muscles. Flashes of last night appeared inside of my mind and a blush came to me.

A cold breeze brought me out of the flashback. The blankets covering me had been kicked off during the night, a normal thing. My body was naked from last night's events and a little on the cold from the lack of blankets. I glanced at the two still sleeping and noticed on Sunstreaker's chassis were scratches.

Blood rushed to my face at the sight and I buried my face in the blankets. A thought came to me and my eyes gazed at my nails. Small flakes of yellow paint were caught underneath them. It was surprising to me wasn't mad at me for damaging his paint job.

Moments passed and a small amount of emotion zipped through me. Then Sunny's optics onlined and immediately went to my exposed form. In embarrassment, I wrapped myself up the blankets and gazed over at him. My muscles didn't like me moving and sent a cramp in my thigh, the sorest muscles of them all. I soothed out the cramp. "How are you feeling?" he questioned and sat up on the berth.

"Sore, very sore. I-uh, I'm sorry about scratching your chassis," I apologized and sat up as well. My blanket was still embracing me securely blocking him from seeing my body. A cocky smirk grew on his lips and he looked at me out of the corner of his optic.

Sunstreaker ran his digits against the long, thin gashes in his armor. "This is the only reason I would like my paint to scratched," he responded and got off of the berth. "Is there anything you need?"

Affection grew inside of me for him caring about me. I felt something move 'inside' of me and snapped my gaze up at the mech. We stared at each other for a few moments. "What was that?" I questioned, a little afraid of whatever just happened. The transfer of emotion was a normality but that hadn't had happened before.

"That was me. I can feel you as well." To make a point, something brushed against me? I jumped in surprise but followed the being who touched me and accidently ran into them. Sunny chuckled at my antics and 'mentally' embraced me. "This is what a bond is. You must have been too tired to feel us and vise versa last night."

Another shock of emotion shot through me and noticed Sides wake up. Said mech gazed tiredly from his position on his stomach and smiled kindly. A second 'mental' being touched me in a caring way. "So much better. Before, you were just out of reach now-" what I'm guessing is him, brushed against me again.

"it's going to take some time to get use to that," I stated and rubbed at my chest due to tightness beginning there. They laughed at my words and we went on to go our daily routine which included a hot, hot shower.

Today was the day I gave William my answer. The twins will probably disagree with it but if Prowl still wants me join him, they'll most likely lay off. My muscles were still against me getting up and walking around.

Will was in his usual area: the main hangar with some of the Autobots in here. Soldiers were rushing about, relaying information to each other. Sunstreaker nearly squashed one of them as they got in our way but a reassuring look up at him had him not going through with his idea.

We continued on our way until reaching the catwalk. "You guys go on, I'll join you two after talking with Will," I suggested and motioned them towards the three other bots in the hangar. Possession passed over the bond between us coming from both of them. "Or you can stay with me. I was just offering.:

I climbed up the stairs of the cat walk and over to Lennox. Once he noticed me approaching him, his eyes went straight to my neck for some reason. Then he turned to the two bots, anger flickering in his brown orbs. He sighed in defeat before facing me again. "You might want to cover your hickies up," he pointed out.

Smugness passed over the bond but I didn't do anything to feed their ego. I pulled up the color of my shirt up in a futile attempt to cover the hickies. "Uh, sorry," I coughed, embarrassed. "I just wanted to come and give you my answer."

"And? What is your answer?"

"I'll join. Does Prowl still want me as a partner?" I didn't mind if I was sent out into the battlefield but rather work on the base.

"I would be happy to let you help keep the base from falling apart," Prowl's voice sounded from behind me. I turned face the police bot and smiled. "Come by my office tomorrow and we can get started." Everything was turning back to good; I have two amazing boyfriends and now a job that I would love just like old one.
