Cody sighed as he sat on his bed. Today was mothers day. Sniffling he wiped his eyes as he held a picture of his mother. Looking outside he could hear the birds chirping and Kade laughing about something. Standing Cody goes to walk towards the door to head out but suddenly a stabbing pain in his side stops him in his tracks before everything goes black.

A loud thump from Cody's room made Dani jump as she was trying to fix her tangled hair. "Cody? Are you ok?" Dani calls out before standing up.

Brushing the last tangle out Dani walked out of her room and knocked on Cody's door. "Cody? You in there?" Dani asks as she reaches for the door knob.

"Dani? What's wrong?" Charlie asks as he puts a bag of groceries on the table.

"Not sure. I heard a thump come from Cody's room." Dani says as she opens the door.

Turning back to Cody's room Dani gasped before screaming. Kade walked in before he ran over with his brother and father. Kades heart dropped when he saw his baby brother passed out on the floor. "C-Cody?" Kade said softly as Charlie raced over to the unconscious boy.

Checking his pulse Charlie gulps when he sees blood on Cody's mouth. "He has a pulse! Gharham! Call the hospital and tell them I'm bringing Cod-" "AHHHH!" Cody screams as Charlie backs away a centimeter.

Charlie frowned and gently touched the side of Cody's stomach causing the boy to scream again. Tears streamed down Cody's face as he suddenly woke up trying to get his dad away from him. "Daddy! It hurts! It hurts! My tummy hurts!" Cody cries out as he tries to get closer to his father.

Kade rushes in and scooped Cody up. "Graham! Tell the hospital I'm bringing Cody in and it may be appendicitis!" Kade yells as he rushes out after grabbing a blanket and stuffed animal.

Sliding down the pole Kade makes sure that it didn't touch Cody. Landing in the garage Kade ran over to Heatwave. "Heatwave! Transform!" Kade says as he holds Cody close to him.

"Why? Is there a-why is there water coming from Cody's eyes? What did you do?!" Heatwave growled before seeing tears in Kades eye's.

"Please Heatwave." Kade says as tears fell from his face. "I can't run fast enough, please! I can't lose Cody."

Heatwave quickly transformed and pulled Kade in before buckling him up. Chase and Boulder quickly opened the doors as Heatwave sped out as if Megatron himself was on his tailpipe.

Kade looked down at his little brother as tears streamed down the boy's face. "Cody have you been getting sick, fever, burping, diarrhea or constipation?" Kade asked quickly.

Cody sobbed as he tried to rub his stomach. "No, no, no Carebear! Keep those little hands off your tummy!" Kade says as he gently grips Cody's wrists.

"I heard him getting sick in a bush a few hours ago and he said he had a stomach ache but he said it might be because he hadn't gone to the bathroom for two days. Chase checked his temp a half hour ago. It was 103.7 °F, at least I think it was. He just came back down freaking out and that is new for him." Heatwave says as he takes a sharp turn.

"Whoa! Heatwave careful!" Kade says before yelping as the red light shone bright in front of at least seven cars. "Heatwave!"

Heatwave quickly transformed and jumped over the vehicles, just missing the Greene's. Transforming he quickly and repeatingly apologizes to Cody. Holding onto Cody, Kade kissed Cody's cheek as he rocked him.

"Hold on Carebear, hold on." Kade says as he nuzzled Cody's sweaty face.

"M-Mommy...? Mommy... It hurts. My tummy hurts..." Cody sobbed as he reached for the empty seat.

Kade held back his sobs as he held his brother close. "Please...please don't take him too. Please, I'm begging you." Kade whispered into into Cody's damp hair.

Heatwave frowned watching his teammate. Quickly turning into the hospital drop offs he blared his sirens to alert the doctors that they were there.

Kade sat in the brightly colored room, whispering a prayer. "Wow. I've never heard you pray before." A man with red hair says as he walks in.

"Who are you? Get out! This is my brothers room!" Kade growls as tears stream down his face.

"Relax Kade. It's me, Heatwave. This is my holo-matter form. Cody designed it for me." Heatwave says as he sits down. "But when I'm like thid around other humans just call me your cousin Heath."

Kade sats down and held Cody's favourite stuffed Toy. "S-Sorry. Hey...? Do you think that when he comes out o-of surgery he'd want to hold his pompompurin?" Kade asks as he holds the toy, rubbing it's fabric.

"Maybe. Sooo...Carebear?" Heatwave asks as he looks at the other man.

Kade chuckled softly. "When our mom was still alive she would call Cody that. He always took care of us when we were sick. He'd even do it to dad. He was our little doctor but instead of calling him Doctor Cody mom called him Carebear. One because he loved Carebears and two is because he is cuddly and takes care of you like no one else could." Kade says smiling.

The door suddenly swings open to the rest of the team (bots in holo-forms), Hayley, the Greene family and a cloaked figure. "Wh-Where is he? Where's Cody?!" Charlie and Doc say together.

"He's in surgery. He had appendicitis but the doctor said that we got him here before the appendix burst." Kade says softly before noticing that his dad was holding a old duffle bag that had been converted to a diaper bag.

Charlie saw what Kade was looking at before blushing in embarrassment. "The last time somebody was rushed from our house to the hospital was when Cody decided he wanted to meet everybody early." He says as he looks away.

Smiling Kade looks at the name on the bag that was sewn in with baby blue and rose pink yarn. Their mother made it. Cody chose those colors when he was a baby and Kade had chosen his baby brothers name.

"What's in it? Graham asks softly as he sits down on Kades' lap, trying to catch his breath. "I hate asthma."

"I went back into Cody's room and grabbed his sketch book, some pajamas, some regular clothes, a book on Loki, a few manga, pencil case and I grabbed us some snacks so we can eat as we wait." Charlie says before giving everybody some bottles of tea.

"Thanks dad. They said that he'll be brought into the room for recovery." Kade says as he opens his tea.

"I'm surprised." Charlie says as he drinks some of his own tea.

"Of what?"

"That you remembered everything in the "in case of surgery" folder."

"...Fuck! Be right back!"

Dani held her baby brothers hand as the clock ticked loudly and Kade was yelling at a doctor with the rest of the group. It had been three hours since Cody's surgery and he still hadn't woken up yet.

It seemed Cody had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and he was still asleep. Humming softly Dani kissed Cody's hand. "Come on Carebear. Come on. Wake up. Please." Dani begged softly as she gently squeezed his small hand.

Blades walked over and sat next to Cody on the bed before he gently moved a piece of hair away from Cody's pale face. "Come on buddy. We're all here. Come on and open those baby blues." Blades says softly.

Humming softly Blades held the small hand close. "Even when you sleep, I will be nearby. I will wipe away your tears and your fears away. I will always be here for you. No matter how strong the wind blows, no matter how bright the stars glow I will always make it home to you." Blades sings softly as he gently strokes Cody's cheek.

Boulder, Chase and Heatwave hear Blades song making them look at each other and walk over before joining in. "Even if the hottest day or coldest night comes I will treck home to you. I will always be there for you, especially when you're feeling blue." The bots sing softly as Cody slowly open his eyes.

Heatwave smiles as the others rush over to the bed. "Daddy?" Cody says softly.

"I'm here baby boy. I'm right here." Charlie says as he he kisses his sons face.

"Daddy? Wh-What time is it?" Cody asks softly.

Charlie frowned but quickly checked the time. "It's five thirty kiddo." He says.

Cody pushed the blankets off of him before trying to pick the tape off. "I need to go. I need to go before it closes." Cody says before being pinned by Blades.

"Cody I think your mom will understand why you didn't come today. Relax and breath deeply. You had a bad reaction to the anesthesia." Blades says softly as he gently smacks Cody's hands away from the tape over the IV in his arm.

"No! I have to go see her! I have too! It's my fault she's dead! I have to be there for her today!" Cody yells as he struggles. "Please! Blair get off of me! Please! I need to see mommy!"

"Cody Charlie Burns stop this right now!" Blades growls as he holds the boys arms down. "Don't make me get the duct tape again! Wait...you like the duct tape."

Cody stopped struggling but not because of blades but because of the pain in his side. "Ow!" Cody sniffled as he rubbed his side.

"Don't touch that buddy. You just had surgery." Heatwave says softly as he gently removes Cody's hand from the wound.

"Surgery? Another one?" Cody asked softly.

"Another one?" Chase asks softly.

"Cody had surgery to remove his leg when he was younger." Hayley says softly as she wraps the blankets around Cody a bit more, afraid he may get cold.

"What?!" The rescue bots cry out.

"It happened when Rose died. They had gotten into a car accident when she was trying to get Cody to the doctors. He had eaten Grapefruit by accident in some candies that Dani got from the main land. We didn't know that it had grapefruit in it so when Cody ate it he started to have an allergic reaction. She gave him an epi-pen but he was still unconscious. Rose was speeding in a storm...and well...the car flipped a few times before it stop in a ditch. Rose was still alive for another half hour but unfortunately Cody had woken up only to see his mother dying." Charlie says softly.

"A piece of the door had embedded itself right through Cody's leg so he couldn't move. When somebody found them they had to call in Barney with the jaws of life to get them out. They got mom to the hospital to late. She was already dead. But Cody was still alive. He only had minor scratches and bruises but his leg was the worst part. The doors metal ripped through most of his muscles in his leg. It got infected, the antibiotics weren't helping and it was either cut it off or loose Cody." Graham says softly.

"Dad choose to cut it off. So after a little while he finally got a prophetic leg." Dani says as she points to the closet.

The bots looked to the closet and frowned. Looking at the struggling Cody they understood. "You feel guilty don't you?" Boulder asks in a worried voice.

Cody looked at Boulder with tears in his baby blues and yelled. "OF COURSE I DO! IF I HADN'T TRIED TO KILL MYSELF MOM NEVER WOULD'VE DRIVEN ME TO THE HOSPITAL! SHE WOULD BE HERE RIGHT NOW!" Cody yelled before slamming back onto the bed, as if he was exhausted.

"K-Kill yourself?" Kade stutters as he looks at his brother in disbelief.

"All of you hated me because I didn't want to be a rescue hero. I wanted to be like mommy and sing and bake. But you said that that stuff was for girls. Then Dani and Graham ignored me. A week later dad caught me wearing the dress that mom was making for Dani's first school dance. That night I heard dad say that he knew he should've given me away. I've never been wanted by any of you...so I ate the candy. I knew I could die so I got the candy, emptied every pen and ate it. I was trying to die for all of you. But in the end mom died and I became a burden because of my le-stump! None of you helped me! It was always Doc Greene, Hayley, Mrs. Neederlander and Doctor Morocco. You never did shit! None of you...none of you *hic!* even tried to help me...why did you have to bring me here? I want to be with mommy." Cody sobbed as he gripped the blanket tight, making his knuckles go white.

Kade felt his heart break. He couldn't remember a time he changed Cody's bandage or helped him through the Phantom pains. He did remember covering his ears and yelling at Cody to shut up when he was crying his little heart out.

Dani couldn't believe what she was hearing. Looking at her baby brother she couldn't stop the tears as her baby brother struggled against Blades and Doc Greene.

Graham looked at his feet as he remembered that indeed he had neglected Cody for his own selfish reasons. He wanted Cody to be a rescue hero so he could always take care of his brother but if he didn't want to be a hero he would only be able to spend at least a few hours with him. He had been selfish and has never helped his brother. Well that stops now.

"Even when you sleep, I will be nearby. I will wipe away your tears and your fears away. I will always be here for you. No matter how strong the wind blows, no matter how bright the stars glow I will always make it home to you." Graham sings softly as he held Cody's hand.

Cody looked at his big brother with tears in his eyes before softly singing with his big brother. Ok Cody I know this will take a while but do you think you could ever forgive us? We will do anything to gain your forgiveness." Graham says softly as the cloaked man walked over.

"Well Cody? Can you forgive them?" The man asks softly.

Cody reached up and removed the hood from the mans head to reveal Dr. Morocco. "Yeah but you are going to have to help them." Cody says as he lays back. "My throat hurts."

"...make it home to you." Cody sang as he gently placed a plate of cookies and a rose down on the grave stone. "I'm sorry mom."

Charlie gently picked up his son before placing him in his wheelchair. It had been a week since the appendix incident and Cody had to stay in the hospital, in fear that Cody could get an infection but a week in they were less worried as long as Cody kept plastic wrap around his stomach.

Charlie kissed Cody's head as his children, the bot's holo-forms, Morocco, the Mayor, the Greene's and the theiving twins; Evans and Miles placed roses around the cookies Cody had made. Looking to the grey sky Charlie silently whispered to the sky.

"Thank you for protecting him my love."

Happy Mother's day

I'm so sorry this is late! I've been having some healthe issues and couldn't get this and one other chapter done for a long while. I'm so sorry!
