Chapter Sixty-One: Mothers Love
Judy set the mixing bowl down in surprise when she heard her name being called out at the front doors of the mess hall and instantly recognized the voice. “Carol, I’ll be right back,” she said as she set the spatula aside and began making her way towards the front of the building. Carol just nodded as she began frosting the second of three rather large cakes.
With a frown, Judy exited the building to find that it was indeed Barricade who was currently looking for her. The large Decepticon sighed as he saw her finally exit the building. “We have a problem,” he announced at her appearance and leaned down so she could climb up onto his hand.
“What sort of problem?” she asked surprised. “Don’t tell me they haven’t gotten the beach cleared yet.”
Barricade shook his head as he already turned and began making his way across the compound. “No, with Sam.”
“Sam?” Judy repeated incredulously. “What could possibly be wrong with Sam? He spends his time with you guys all day, what could have happened?”
Barricade sighed as he slowed his steps somewhat, glancing around to see if there was anyone in the near vicinity that could overhear him. “Well Ratchet um, visited us today and everyone got to talking about the wedding and the subject of how we have kids came up and well…” Barricade trailed off but Judy had already adapted a bit of a horrified look.
“So they finally told him?”
“That it was the All Spark that essentially was the only thing in existence that created our sparklings? Yeah he knows…” Barricade frowned. “I thought that they had spoken to him about this by now, especially with him actually speaking to Primus and all… And then Optimus bringing out that shard was no help,” he growled the last part.
Judy shook her head. “I think they didn’t want to upset him,” she told the large commander. “He felt so guilty when he found out that it was the only thing that could restore your planet.”
“He takes too much to spark,” Barricade muttered. Judy sighed but said no more as they had finally reached the human’s bunkhouse. With a frown, Judy glanced over at the five different Autobots surrounding the rather diminutive building, all of them practically chatting at once.
“Ratchet, what did you do man?” Jazz was frowning at the medic at his side.
“I told you, he asked! What was I supposed to say?” Ratchet growled back.
“You could have brought him to me for one,” Optimus stated solemnly.
“Well excuse me! But we panicked,” Ratchet frowned at him. “We weren’t really expecting that to come up.”
“Well you should have,” Ironhide frowned at him. “You know what their society is like. Wedding then kids. To them, it’s simple logic.”
“I know,” Ratchet sighed as he glanced over at ‘Bee who was still staring down at the building as if he could somehow will Sam out of it. “I’m sorry ‘Bee.”
‘Bee surprised everyone when he shook his head. “No, I am. I should have spoken to him about it before today.”
“But we all know how guilty he already felt,” Ratchet stated. “We just wanted to try and not give him any more of it.”
“Well too late for that now, isn’t it?” Ironhide huffed.
Judy rolled her eyes, having heard enough and she pulled on Barricade’s thumb a bit. “You can let me down now,” she told him when he glanced at her.
“Right,” Barricade nodded as he began walking once again and soon came upon the group.
“Judy!” Optimus said in surprise as he finally noticed the Decepticons return, though he had to admit he didn’t realize when the mech had slipped away, and the small human he came back with.
“Optimus,” Judy nodded at him as Barricade set her down on the stoop of the building. “I take it he was not happy when he learned that you are the last of your kind?”
The four older ‘Bots all stared at her a bit surprised but Bumblebee just nodded sadly. “I should have told him sooner.”
Judy let out a small, scoffing sound. “I highly doubt that the timing has anything to do with his reaction. He’s a very emotional boy,” she sighed. “Gets it from his grandmother...” The Autobots all just continued to stare at her and she sighed and gave them a small wave as she turned and began heading into the building. “I’ll go talk to him.”
“Thank you Judy,” ‘Bee said relieved.
Judy nodded as she grabbed one of the large double doors and disappeared inside only to instantly stop as she came upon a wall made of people. “What’s going on in here?” she demanded as she found both rangers, Miles, Mikaela and Keller all standing outside the door to her room that she shared with Ron.
“Mrs. Witwicky!” Mikaela cried out. “He won’t open the door!”
Judy sighed as she pushed her way through the group. “Well he’s not going to open the door with all of you guys standing out here, now will he?”
“Judy!” Will called out as the smaller female shoved him aside. “Thank goodness. Something’s happened with Sam.”
“Yes, I know,” she drawled as she reached the front.
“Strangest thing though is he won’t tell us what’s wrong,” Epps muttered as he glanced over at the two younger people.
“Well, it’s… complicated…” Mikaela said slowly as she looked back at Judy. “We were talking to Ratchet and-”
“Yes, I know all about it,” Judy sighed as she turned to the men. “Perhaps it would be best if I spoke to him alone for a while.” The group nodded but Judy managed to snag Will’s sleeve before he go very far. Epps glanced back momentarily to see what happened to Will but nodded and Epps continued to shuffle the two younger people out the door along with Keller and his two guards, whose names Judy still didn’t know.
Will looked down at Judy puzzled, unsure why she held him back. “Did you need something?”
Judy waited until all the others had completely left the building before nodding and turning back to Will. “May I speak to you a moment?” she asked him, nodding towards the ranger’s own room.
“Oh, but what about Sam?” he asked looking back at the closed doorway.
“We’ll give him a few moments to calm down,” she told him as she started to steer the man into his chambers. She sat down in the small chair as Will flopped down onto the bed.
“Now what did you wish to speak to me about?” he asked her.
Judy looked about the room for a long, long moment before she turned back to the captain. “I’ve noticed that you and Ironhide seemed at odds the past couple of weeks,” she said point blank. “Did something happen to you two?”
Will cringed and immediately glanced down at the floor. ‘How does one answer that question?’ he wondered. “It’s complicated,” he finally muttered.
Judy gained a small, sympathetic frown. “Can I ask what it’s about?” she asked softly.
Will glanced over at the petite woman, wondering if he should even say anything or not. He hadn’t spoken about that day that he and Ironhide had had that long conversation, not even Epps, but he had thought about it; and thought about it. Then he went ahead and thought about it some more. He still had no idea how he felt about the large Autobot and wasn’t sure how exactly to even act around him anymore.
Judy remained silent for a while before she tilted her head. “Can I guess?” she asked after a moment.
“What?” Will jerked a bit in surprise. “Well, no you don’t have too…”
Judy just smiled at him that all-knowing mother smile of hers. “I think I can,” she said softly. “First, can I assume it has something to do with the day you came back with almost every single worldly possession that you own?” and she gestured at the assortment of items that were crammed into the small room.
Will looked over at the woman in surprise and could already feel his resolve beginning to waver as he saw the knowing and sorrowful look she held. He shouldn’t cry but for the life of him, that was all he wanted to do at the moment. “She left me,” he finally told her, a sob in his throat.
Judy nodded understandingly. “I suspected,” she told him. “Then may I ask what it was that put you so at odds with Ironhide? You two are usually the best of friends.”
Will let out a small bitter chuckle, “Well that’s what I thought too…” he muttered as he stared blankly at the floor in front of him.
Judy stared at the ranger. “He told you how he felt, didn’t he? And now you don’t know how to react, do you?”
Will whipped his head around and stared at the woman in complete surprise. “What? What makes you say that? I mean where did you get such an idea? I mean…” Will trailed off as Judy’s look darkened and she gave him a little frown. Will slumped in defeat and finally nodded. “And now I have no idea how to react.”
Judy nodded. “Well I suppose it would be a bit of a surprise.”
“That, Mrs. Witwicky, is an understatement.”
“Call me Judy,” she chastised. “And not as much as you would think.”
Will looked at the woman a confused. “What do you mean?” he asked her incredulously. “I mean there are so many factors; we’re not even of the same species!”
Judy sighed; wondering herself is she was doing the right thing as she glanced though the open door to where she knew her son was currently locked in her own room. “That isn’t what you should be focusing on,” she told him. “What you should be looking at is your own feelings and what they are for Ironhide.”
“But…” Will murmured after a few moments. “They told us. Their sparks link up to others- sometimes without their knowledge. What if some more Autobots arrive and suddenly Ironhide’s ‘Linked’ to someone else?”
‘Ah,’ Judy thought triumphantly. ‘Now we get to the heart of the problem.’ “Will…” she began slowly. “I think I need to tell you why exactly Sam has hidden himself in my room…”
Will looked up surprised by her admittance. “You mean you know why?”
Judy nodded. “I had already spoken about this with Barricade before, however we both determined that it would probably be better if Sam heard it from the Autobots.” She sighed. “The wedding I suppose just sped it up, though why they waited so long to tell him is beyond me.”
Will tilted his head, even more confused now then when Sam had suddenly bolted past him crying his eyes out. “I don’t understand. What does my, er, unique situation with Ironhide have to do with why Sam’s locked himself in your room?”
Judy took a deep breath. “It has to do with the All Spark and when Sam destroyed it.”
Now Will was really baffled. “What about the All Spark?” he asked her puzzled. “What does that have to do with it?”
Judy gave him a small smile. “The Autobots told you that it was the Cube that brought life to their planet, correct? That it was the All Spark that created their people?”
Will nodded slowly though he was a little unsure where exactly Judy was going with her train of thought. “Yeah, they told me.”
Judy nodded as she thought about how best to word what she wanted to say. “It was the All Spark that continued to create their people. It was their very life source,” she said finally and waited for that statement to sink in.
Will just stared at her for a rather long moment before the implications of her words finally managed to reach him. “You mean… you mean that without the All Spark that they- that…”
Judy nodded sadly as she sat back in the chair. “I suppose that’s why everyone was fighting over it so bad,” she mused.
Will nodded as it finally hit him. “That without the All Spark, there would be no one to replenish the ranks. Probably why the Autobots felt it best to cast it off into space…” Will shoulders slumped as the implications of what exactly destroying the cube had exactly entailed for the Autobots… and he supposed the Decepticons as well… “They’re the last, aren’t they?”
Judy nodded sadly. “They said that they do have more companions out there but they have no idea when or even if they’ll really meet up with them again. They all scattered when their planet died.”
Will was quiet for a long moment after that, his thoughts whirling about as he tried to figure out what this new knowledge now meant for him and subsequently what it meant with his relationship with Ironhide. He glanced out towards the hallway, a feeling of pure pity for the younger man down the hall. “Poor Sam…” he murmured. “He thinks the world of the Autobots and to now learn that you basically condemned them…”
“Yes, well. We won’t be using those terms when we speak to him, now will we?”
Will glanced back at Judy surprised, almost having forgotten her presence. “We?”
Judy sighed. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to,” she told him. “If you think you have more important things to do…” she trailed off and looked at the ranger expectantly as she stood from her seat.
Will thought a moment before he nodded and stood as well. “I suppose I should think about this some more,” he said slowly.
Judy nodded and turned to the door. “Then I’ll leave you alone,” she said. “I have my own son to deal with still…”
“Judy,” Will called out as she reached the doorway. “Could you tell him that it wasn’t his fault?”
Judy felt a little tug at the corners of her mouth and tried not to frown. “I’ll tell him,” she said and Will nodded gratefully.
With a sigh, Judy left the captain’s room and began heading back towards her own. ‘Now what do I say to him?’ she wondered as she finally reached the doorway. With a deep breath, she raised her hand to tap on the door lightly. “Sam? Honey? Are you alright?” she called out.
There was silence from the other side of the door for a long moment before there was finally a muffled “’M fine” echoed out to her.
“Sam, you don’t sound fine,” she tried. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it?”
She waited with a little held breath as she wondered whether or not Sam was going to open the door and let her in when it was suddenly yanked back and Sam was standing there in the doorway, tear tracks down his cheeks even as new ones began to appear and he reached forward and wrapped his arms around her. “Mom…” he wailed softly.
Judy instantly wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a large, bone-crushing hug as he buried his face in her shoulder. “Sammy, it’s okay.”
“No its not…” Sam answer was muffled against her collar. “I didn’t know that the cube was what made the sparklings, I thought they just… you know. Made ‘em.”
Judy sighed as she maneuvered the boy back into the room and sat him down on the bed. “If that were true, they why wasn’t Ratchet able to fix Jazz when he died?” she asked his quietly. “There’s still a lot more to it than just simply building a body for them.”
Sam looked at her through wet eyelashes as he remembered what it was that they had told him before about Jazz’s spark having extinguished. They had told him, didn’t they? In a rather round about matter, but still they had tried. “But Mom…” he said after a moment. “I totally and effectively destroyed the one thing that could give them a future.”
“Well, I don’t know about that,” she argued. “They’re alive aren’t they? And they are going to stay here on Earth until they find a planet with Energon, aren’t they?”
“But what if they can’t find any? What if it was only on their planet and they end up starving to death? Did you think about that? I mean, what if they never find another planet that they can make a home? I love having them on Earth but…”
Judy sighed as she gathered her boy in her arms and held him tightly. She hadn’t realized that her baby boy had really thought about it that much. That he worried about the future of his friends till way after he was gone and a memory and they were still searching for a home. She never felt prouder and more sorrowful for her boy as she did right at that moment. “Sam,” she said after a while. “I’m sure that the others wouldn’t want you to feel this way. You managed to keep it away from Megatron, didn’t you? If he had gotten the cube, then there’s no telling how things may have gone. The Autobots would have spent their last years at war, not this peace that they have now. I mean, look at Ratchet and Wheeljack. They’re finally able to have their wedding with all their friends.”
“I know Mom…” he sighed as he sat back and rubbed at his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt. “I just… I can’t help it, I feel really, really bad.”
Judy nodded as she gave him a small pat on the shoulder. “I know dear…” she paused, wondering if she should say anything more or if it would just interfere with the grand scheme of things. She finally sighed. “The Autobots think that you’re this prophesized savior, right?” she asked him.
Sam blinked at her surprised. He had never really spoken of it before with his parents. “Well… we weren’t sure,” he said slowly, occasionally interrupted by a hiccup.
Judy smiled. “But you were able to speak to their God, weren’t you? Can you just go back and ask him to make a new All Spark?”
Sam’s eyes lit up and he jumped to his feet. “Mom, that’s a great idea!”
Judy smiled. “Well that’s what I’m here for,” she chuckled. “Now where’s that scepter of yours?”
“Mom!” Sam whined. “It’s not a scepter.”
Judy chuckled. “Whatever you say…” She stood and glanced out the window. “Perhaps we should go out the back way…” she muttered.
Sam looked out and cringed slightly as he saw a few very familiar feet on the other side of the glass. “Yeah…”
After Sam managed to clean his face up somewhat and get back to looking something like normal, the two preformed a quick dash away from the five First Arrivals plus one ‘Con as they ducked out the back. Soon the two made their way into the main hanger where some of the Autobots were working on finishing up a few benches so they didn’t have to lug the large boxcars to the beach. “Hey Sam!” Red called out as he wandered away from the others somewhat. Hound and Inferno gave the two a small nod as Bluestreak waved enthusiastically.
“Hey guys! I just need to get do something at Optimus’ desk real quick,” Sam said.
Red tilted his head a bit surprised. “What do you need?” he asked as he wandered over to the desk, looking over the contents while everyone else went back to working on the remaining few benches. “Most of this is just data pads.”
“Um…” Sam glanced over at his mother who gave him a small smile. “I, er, kind of need the box.”
Red looked down at Sam sharply before he glanced at the box that Sam was referring to. “Why? What’s going on?” he asked concerned. “I heard the others earlier; I just assumed it was something pertaining to the wedding. Was I wrong?”
Sam shook his head. “No, I just need to talk to him…”
Red frowned but nodded as he took the box and set it down on the floor next to the humans. “Let me know if you need anything.”
Sam smiled up at the security chief. “Thanks.” The security chief nodded as he wandered back to his companions and Sam turned an apprehensive look towards his mother. “Well…”
Judy smiled at him. “I’ll stay right here with you till you get back,” she told him.
Sam let out a quick breath of relief. “Thanks,” he said again. Judy just smiled at him as he wandered over to the box that to them, almost seemed as large a small trunk while to the Autobots, it was no larger than a jewelry box. With a deep breath, he opened the box and looked down at the shard. Could he do it again? Actually go and see Primus? This was, after all, the first time he was trying to see the mech on purpose. With a deep breath, he reached out and grabbed the piece.
“Welcome back.”
Sam sighed in relief as he looked around at the small field of fireflies. “Why didn’t you tell me the first time I was here?” Sam instantly demanded as he searched for the two glowing gold optics.
“I thought I had,” Primus said gently. “The All Spark was my link to my children and also my gift to them. That it was destroyed was something that I never would have foreseen.”
“But it was…” Sam murmured as he looked around at the soft blue haze that lit up the surrounding area but still left so much in darkness.
Sam sighed as he petted one of the fireflies absently, the small creature letting out a rather cat like purring as it pressed against him. “But what about all of them? You said that we were going to try and give them a chance. Did I mishear you?”
“No, you didn’t,” Primus told him.
“So… the Auto- the Cybertronions won’t die out?” Sam demanded.
“No they will not,” Primus told him and Sam nearly collapsed in relief.
“Thank God…” he whispered as he gave the large bug another pat. “Are you going to make another All Spark then?” he asked looking towards where the two gold orbs were.
“No I do not believe I will…” Primus said with a bit of a chuckle. “I can see now how that was a bit of a mistake on my part but in truth, at the time it made complete sense to have it.”
“Then what are you going to do?” Sam asked him.
Primus chuckled. “I already have one or two ideas floating about.”
Sam smiled as a second firefly soon came over to him and demanded some of his attention as well, much to the first one’s annoyance. “I’m glad…”
Primus was quiet for a long time before Sam heard him sigh. “You are an anomaly, young Sam,” the other worldly being stated. “You care so much for your friends and their happiness. Even almost sacrificing your own life to help them save theirs…” There was a small chuckle. “You remind me of me.”
Sam glanced over at the gold glow surprised. “What do you mean?” he asked. “How could I possibly remind you of yourself?”
Primus chuckled. “Ah, but do you not see Autobots nor Decepticons as I do not see them? You were very persistent in helping the young commander when he was in need…”
Sam could almost feel himself blushing. “But that was… He needed help and I just couldn’t leave him like that.”
“No, you couldn’t,” Primus chuckled. “I think I made a perfect choice when I chose you, Sam Witwicky. You are just as I foresaw you to be.”
Sam looked at him puzzled. “What do you mean? I just happened to have been there.”
Primus let out a soft chuckle. “Sam…” he said softly. “Do you think it was an accident that it was your grandfather that found Megatron?” Sam whirled around at this, completely too shocked for words as Primus chuckled again. “Or that the All Spark even landed on this planet for that matter?”
“What?” Sam murmured surprised.
“You are special, Sam Witwicky. Now… don’t you have a party to go to?”
“Wait!” Sam blinked in surprise as he was suddenly looking over at his mother, who was looked at him with a small amount of worry.
“Are you alright Sam?” she asked him. “What did he say?” Sam quickly went over what had been discussed and Judy clucked her tongue. “I thought so…” she murmured and Sam looked over at her puzzled. “Never mind.”
Sam gave his mother a long stare but before he could say anything, Sunny and Sides soon appeared in the entryway of the hanger carrying a multitude of boxes that had the familiar logo on the side, both baring large, wide grins. “It’s party time!”
Sam shook his head as he glanced over at his mother. Judy grinned at him as she took his arm and linked it with her own. “Come on,” she smiled. “I’ll let you lick the frosting bowl.”
