Lost and Found (TFP)

Epilogue.

LOG:3/7/2021

---

It has been a month after the incident. Anna was finally feeling better but still was on 24 hours surveillance on the Nemesis, courtesy of her favourite communication specialist.

Raf and Jack had already came back from their summer holidays (hell) only to receive the news that the war between the Autobots and Decepticons ended. Comparing with Miko, the two boys' reaction were much more...funnier.

Flashback

"Hello." Anna smiled, waving at the two shock kids. The lady was feeling much better and receiving her daily check-up from Ratchet. The doctors take turns to look over their mother.

"Mother, turn here please." Ratchet said. Anna obliged and let the doctor scanned her.

"WAIT- WHAT!?" Jack yelled, pointing a finger at the lady. Anna smiled and waved her hands at the boy.

"Er...hi? I'm Anna, the bot's mother." Anna chuckled. Ratchet whined a little due to his mother moving around.

"Mom, I need you to hold still! ...Please?" he added, but still grumbling. Anna laughed and turned back, apologising to the grumpy medic and giving him her full attention.

"Ah, sorry dear. I'll stay still now." She said.

"Wait- What? Wha- Why did Ratchet call you mom? What the hell!?"

"Language." Anna muttered.

"I'm 16!" Jack rebutted. Having been irked with the whole ordeal, Ratchet turned around and glared at the boy.

"Let Optimus explain the whole situation to you two. As you can see, we're clearly BUSY!" Ratchet hissed, but a small hand got him to snap out of his anger.

"Ratchet...that wasn't very nice." Anna chided.

"I'm working on you and they are interrupting me! Do you know what will happen if I accidentally-" his words were halted by Anna's soft pout. Sighing, he relented and turned away from the kids.

"Grr...sorry..." he huffed and continued working on Anna, embarrassed that he got told off by his mother. Anna gave a weak smile to the kids before turning back to the doctor, letting him work on her with peace.

The two kids decided to heed the doctor's advice and went to find Optimus. Running down the Nemesis hallway, the two caught hold of their respective guardians first.

"ARCEE/BUMBLEBEE!" They yelled.

"We can hear you both just fine, no need for shouting." Arcee sassily said, Bumblebee beeping in agreement. Jack rolled his eyes and demanded answers from his guardian.

"Why did Ratchet called a lady his mother!? And she even said that she was you guys' mother!? What's going on?" he rambled.

"Easy, kid. Anna's our carrier, or mother in your term. It's kinda long, have Miko not indulge you yet?" Arcee said, picking her charge up and walked towards the common room.

"Not really, we just came back from summer holidays, which was not fun by the way, only to hear the war's over and now you got a mother!? What gives, Arcee?" Jack pouted, feeling left out. Raf nodded along, having the same thought.

"Pretty much, we were fighting and we got turned small bots, or sparklings. Anna found us and um...took care of us as her children. We got used to calling her our mother, and she is, by the way." Arcee said, smiling. Optimus was around the corner and they met up, the former spilling the rest of the stories to the two.
