Marianne - 3 years later.
It's been three years since I left, and my daughter is as healthy as any normal toddler would be. We've been living in Mesquite Creek, Arizona. It's a small town but we both love it dearly, but I still miss my home at the base in Diego Garcia, California.
Lucille was outside playing, while I stayed inside and clean. We had a big fenced in backyard so I wasn't too scared. I did keep looking out the window and keeping an eye on her, just to be safe.
My motherly instincts told me something was wrong though, and when I heard my baby girl crying I knew why. I dropped the dish back into the soapy water, running outside towards my young, crying baby daughter.
I scooped her up in my arms and held her close to my chest, cooing softly in her ear as I always did to try and calm her down. It was a trick I learned from my mother when I was Lucille's age.
I saw her badly scraped knee and my eyes widened at it, not because of how bad it was but because of the color of her blood. It wasn't red like a normal humans or blue like Cybertronians, but it was dark red with a purplish tint to it.
I raced back inside the house and sat her down on the counter, grabbing the phone and calling Epps quickly. He was the only on I knew I could contact at the moment, the only one who would rush to help me.
"Miss me that much already, Short Stack?" Epps asks, picking up after the third ring. Of course he was being the absolute joker he always was. If this hadn't been an emergency, I would have scolded him about my nickname.
"Epps, she scraped her knee badly and she is bleeding. I need you to get Ratchet and tell him to get here as soon as possible." I said into the phone quickly, getting silence in return for a few minutes. "
Give me one minute, tell Lucy that uncle Epps and uncle Lennox are coming with grandpa Ratchet." Epps said quickly, and I could hear the worry for Lucille in his voice, before hanging up.
I put the phone down on the counter and I walked back over to my daughter, taking her two small hands in my own and smiling softly at her as I looked her in the eyes.
"Hey Lucy, guess who is coming?" I asked, kissing her forehead softly. When she grinned up at me, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I had to tell her that her favorite people in the entire world, other than her mother, were coming. "
Uncle Lennox and uncle Epps are coming, and they are bring grandpa Ratchet with them." I said, poking her nose. I softly grinned down at the little girl I had fallen in love with, the moment I laid eyes on her when they set her down on my chest.
The small gasp and the big smile on her face made my heart melt, and my grin turn into a soft and warm smile. "They are on their way now Lucy, they will be here as soon as they can." I said, kissing her nose softly. I got a small, kid sized water bottle out of the fridge and handed it to her.
~ Autobot base - Diego Garcia, California ~
Epps jogged down the hall and up the stairs, until he was finally standing on the cat walk. It was build so it would be easier to talk to any of the bots, so they could look each other optic to eye and the humans on base wouldn't break their neck trying to look up at them.
Epps quickly spotted Lennox, and started running towards the man. "Yo, Lennox!" he yells, the other man quickly turning and looking at him. Lennox had gone to grin, but was instantly worried when he saw Epps scared face.
"Epps, what's wrong? What happened? Were there more Decepticon signals, did Sam or Mikaela run into any Decepticons? Did Ironhide blow up another cactu-" He was cut off by Epps slapping his hand over his mouth.
"Lennox, we have a code green." he muttered, letting the man know that something was wrong with Lucille. A series of color codes had been made for the small girl, and code green meant she was injured and something was wrong.
Lennox cursed quietly under his breath, grabbing Epps' arm and pulling the man down the cat walk. They needed to get to Ratchet, now. He kept a hold on the mans arm, pulling him down the stairs and walking across the hall towards the med bay.
Lennox walked through the human sized door and into the empty med bay, startling Ratchet who had been busy cleaning his tools. When Ratchet opened his mouth to yell at the two men, Lennox cut him off quickly. "Ratchet, we have a code green." he says, giving the Cybertronian medic a look.
