This is simply amazing! The idea for this story came from my good friend Mrs. Bumblebee. As soon as she said this I knew that I had to write it down. So all of you go thank her now because with out her this would not be here.

Disclaimer: Transformers is not mine and never will be sadly. :(

It had been a long day for all of them, and Sam was more then happy to throw himself onto one of the spare beds in Will's house. Since the Captain had started his month long leave from the army Mikaela and Sarah had decided that they all needed to get together and go out for some fun. It had started with them going out to eat followed by some mini golf and bumper cars. Sam's sides still hurt from being rammed into so many time by Mikaela, from there they went to the mall and walked around and shopped. Although now that he thought about it, it was more like Sarah and Mikaela shopped while he and Will where forced to follow them and hold the large bags that there stuff came in.

From there they had gone to see a move that was suppose to be the perfect film for couples to see. It turned out that it was perfect for couples who liked movies with no actual plot line, needless to say they had quickly left half way into the movie and got there tickets changed for something a little faster paced and with more explosions. They liked it better.

Now with it close to midnight and with a powerful thunderstorm rolling over head they had all settled in for the night. Sam had taken the spare room down on the main floor while Mikaela had taken the one on the second right next to the baby's room. Will had asked why they didn't want to share a room and both Mikaela and Sam said that they didn't feel ready to sleep in the same room yet. With there relationship so new they didn't want to push it too much.

Sam listened to the thunder roar and watched the lighting light up the sky as he slowly fell asleep, it had taken him longer then he thought to fall asleep since he kept having to scratch random places all over his body. At first it had been a small annoyance but as the night wore on it didn't let up and soon almost all of his body was red from being scratched at. He was surprised that he hadn't scratched through his skin yet, having had enough of the irritation Sam ran into the bathroom that was connected to his room and quickly turned the shower to a gentle stream of cool water.

He thought for a moment about his mothers warnings from when he was a kid about taking a shower while there was lightning going on but he quickly shook the warning out of his head and stripped out of his clothes and got under the spray. After all he had taken plenty of showers during storms before and nothing bad had happened so what harm could come from doing it once more. As soon as he stepped under the cool water his skin was soothed from its burning itch and he was finally able to relax, he only hoped that the itch would stay gone once he left the water.

He stayed in the shower for around ten minutes or so and was finally going to brave the dry world out side of the tiled room when his bad luck decided to show up and ruin his night. With a slight pop the lights in the bathroom went out and Sam was sure that the same thing had happened all around the house. He froze where he was with one foot inside the shower with the water still running and one foot outside it. The last thing he wanted was to slip and fall in the dark so he had to move carefully.

Making sure that his footing on the tiled floor wasn't going to slip away he got ready to bring his other leg out from under the water, from the crack in the bathroom door he saw a large bolt of lightning flash across the sky. It was followed by a loud explosion that shook the house to its foundations, at once all the lights in the bathroom burned brightly before exploding in a shower of glass that had Sam covering his face and fumbling back into the shower. When his leg hit against the tub he couldn't stop himself from falling back into the tub and landing painfully on his butt.

Even with the water pouring down on his head Sam felt all the hair on his body stand up as a current passed through the water. Before he could say or do anything a wave of pain shot through him and his arms and legs began to shake wildly. He clenched his teeth hard as the pain increased to the point his eyes where forced closed. He didn't see the brilliant blue light that began to dance across his body. With his eyes closed tightly his vision was filled with red and black spots that popped up and exploded.

He passed out after a while and laid silent in the bathtub with the water pouring down on top of him as blue sparks dance along his body. All the others in the house where still in there peaceful state of sleep having not been bothered by the storm or the explosion caused by it.

The next day came and the storm had passed, the sun was shinning down brightly on the small house. Sarah had been the first one awake and was busy in the kitchen making a big breakfast for them all to enjoy. Will was the next to come down, he was wearing a pair of black pajama pants and a white under shirt. He was still rubbing the sleep from his eyes when he entered the kitchen and wrapped his arms around his wife's waist.

"Something smells good." He said as he kissed her neck lovingly.

Sarah giggled at her husbands behavior, this was one of the things she liked best about the first few days he is on leave. He is always very playful in the morning, but today she can't let anything come from it since they have people over.

"Will stop that you know we can." She said between giggles as Will continued kissing her neck and collar.

"There old enough to not be bothered by it." He whispered to her.

Sarah was just about to give in when a small giggle from the kitchen door caught her attention. She looked over to find Mikaela standing there her face red and trying to hold back a laugh.

"Did I come in at a bad time?" She asked.

Sarah heard and felt Will sigh into her neck as he too caught sight of Mikaela standing in her pajamas.

"Oh well we'll just have to make up for lost time latter." He whispered to his wife.

She giggled again as Will sat at the table. Sarah put a plate full of eggs, pancakes and bacon in front of him and starts making a plate for Mikaela.

"Has Sam gotten up yet?" Mikaela asks as Sarah sets her plate in front of her and moves to make one for Sam and her self.

Will tries to answer but his mouth is already full of eggs and bacon so his words only come out a garbled mess. Sarah smacks Will lightly on the head.

"Don't talk with your mouth full Will." She said. "I think so I heard the shower running when I walked by his door a while ago."

Mikaela nods her head and starts to eat her own food a little more slowly then Will who had already finished his bacon and half of his pancakes. As breakfast wore on and Sarah and Mikaela finish there plates they sat around the table and talked about what they might do that day. Its only when Will came back in fully showered and clothed that he pointed out a problem.

"Is the kid still not out of the shower yet? If he drives up my water bill to high he is going to pay for the whole thing."

Mikaela looked at Sarah who had a slightly worried look on her face.

"Maybe I should look in on him and make sure he is ok." Mikaela said.

She saw Sarah nod her head in agreement and she quickly left the kitchen to check on Sam. When she got to the door to the room he had stayed in she could faintly hear the sound of running water. She pushed the door open a little and stuck her head in, looking around she could see that the bed wasn't made and that Sam's bag that he had brought with him hadn't been touched. Moving in further she could hear the shower going and saw that the door to the bathroom was open slightly giving her a slight view of the tiled room inside.

She carefully moved towards the door and called out softly.

"Sam... is everything alright?"

When no answer came she moved closer and tried again.

"Sam... Sarah has breakfast ready and then we where thinking of going to the lake."

Again she got no answer. She started to get very worried and slowly pushed the bathroom door open. The shower was running and she saw Sam's cloths laying on the floor, what really caught her attention though was the half pulled down curtain. She walked over to the tub and slowly bent down to lift up the plastic covering, she could tell that there was something wrapped up inside it but she couldn't tell what it was. It was a little smaller then what she thought Sam was but she figured that if he was curled up in pain then he might look a little smaller then he really was.

Gripping the edge of the curtain she slowly moved it away from the figure in the tub. She didn't pull the curtain to far before she let out a scream that carried all the way to the barn that was out back where Ironhide stayed. As the curtain fell away her eyes fell upon the sight of a metallic silver head. The still falling water made small ringing sounds as it landed on the head, it would have been a beautiful sound had it not gone along with what she was seeing.

Summoned by her scream Will came bursting into the bedroom and from there into the bathroom, his gun in hand expecting the worst. He instantly went to Mikaela's side and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Mikaela whats wrong? Is Sam alright?" He asked quickly.

Mikaela couldn't bring herself to say anything, all she did was point a shaking finger at the tub. Sarah came in a moment latter with a sniffling Annabelle who had woken up and started crying from the scream. Sarah helped Mikaela up as much as she would go and moved her out of the room and on to the bed where she stayed sitting with her hands over her mouth and her eyes wide.

In the bathroom Will moved over to the tub and looked on the sight of the metal head sticking out from the tub. While he was shocked beyond belief at the sight he did a pretty good job of keeping in control. He carefully pulled away the rest of the curtain and uncovered a metal body that the head was attached to. It was a robotic being that much he knew for sure, it was completely silver and he could see some of the wiring and gears that made it up. He had seen things like this before when the new Autobots arrived before they took an alt form, if he remembered what Ironhide said it was called a protoform. But he had never seen one that was human sized, so it made him wounder where it had come from and where Sam had gone off to.

A thought crossed his mind for a moment that the little robot was Sam but that was impossible, at least he was pretty sure it was impossible. One thing was certain he needed to talk to Ironhide and the others about this.

'So much for being on leave.' He thought to himself.

He walked out of the bathroom and quietly closed the door so that it was only cracked open. He gestured for Sarah to come over to him and when she did he bent down and whispered to her;

"Try and take Mikaela down into the living room. Get her something to drink and keep her calm."

"What is going on? Is Sam alright?" She asked.

"I am not sure what is going on." Will told her. "But I need to go talk to Ironhide and then see if the others can make there way here."

Sarah nodded her head and moved back over to Mikaela who was holding tightly to Annabelle. She placed her hands on each of the girls shoulders and gently moved her off the bed. Mikaela followed easily and soon the three of them where out the door. Will sighed and after a moment left the room too, he quickly made his way down the stairs and out the back door. He didn't have to go far to get to the large black GMC Topkick, he was sure that Ironhide had heard the scream and that was why he was sitting near the back door. Even though he was in his truck form Will could see the tension in his frame.

"Will what is wrong?" Ironhide asked immediately.

Will ran his hands over his head and let out a breath.

"I am not sure Ironhide, we where having breakfast and noticed that Sam hadn't come out of his room. When Mikaela went to go look in on him to see if he was OK she screamed. When I got in there I found her on the bathroom floor and she was pointing at the bathtub. When I looked into it I found... what I think is one of you guys only human sized if that makes any seance." Will said quickly.

At the last sentence Ironhide instantly transformed and bent down to look Will in the eyes.

"Will are you sure of what you have seen?" Ironhide asked.

Will looked into Ironhide's big blue optics and saw the urgency in them.

"Yes it looked like one of you in your... protoforms only it was the size of a human." He told him.

Ironhide was quiet for several minutes with his head tilted to the side. Will had learned that this meant that he was talking over his internal comm link with the others. Finally when Ironhide looked like he was finished he told Will what was going on.

"The others are on there way, they should be here within a few hours. Please try and bring the little one down here so we can see him, but please be careful." Ironhide told him.

Will nodded his head and rushed into the house to do what Ironhide asked. He walked into the living room to see how Mikaela was doing and saw that she was sitting on the couch with Sarah while his daughter played on the floor. Happy with the situation there he made his way back into the room and into the bathroom that the body was in. The first thing he did was to turn off the water that was still running, once that was done he lifted one of the robots arms and legs to see just how heavy it was and if he could carry it.

He found that even one of its limbs was pretty heavy so caring it was out of the question. Looking around his eyes fell on the blanket that was laying bunched up on the bed. Getting up he grabbed the blanket and folded it until it was long and thick, setting it on the ground in front of the tub Will began the long hard and painful task of carefully sliding the metal body from the tub onto the blanket. After 30 to 45 minutes of hard work and quiet a few curse words he was able to get the wet body onto the blanket.

He grabbed the towel that was hanging on the hook and began to carefully dry as much of the body off as he could. That took another 20 to 30 minutes since he wanted to make sure that it was as dry as he could make it. Finally he finished and had to start moving the now dry body out of the bathroom and out of the bedroom then down the hallway and out the kitchen so that the others can look at it when they got there.

Will grabbed the ends of the blanket close by the head and began to slowly and painfully drag the body out. By the time he got it to the back door he was more then ready to fall over and not get back up for a long time. Thankfully he had gotten it to a point where Ironhide could carefully grab the blanket between two of his large fingers and pull it the rest of the way out of the house. Once the small but heavy robot body was out side the house Will collapsed into one of the porch seat and let his breathing get back to normal.

While Will was resting Ironhide was looking over the small body, his optics where wide and his mouth plates where open in awe. Carefully he picked up the body and held it gently in his massive hands, he jumped slightly when a spark jumped between his hand and the body but it passed quickly and did not comeback.

"Where did you come from little one?" He asked the body.

The sound of approaching vehicles made Ironhide turn his attention away from the body he was holding and stand up to his full height ready to greet Optimus. The large blue and red flamed truck pulled up behind the house and instantly started to transform, when he was done the Prime stood tall and proud.

"Optimus." Ironhide greeted him.

"Ironhide it is good to see you well." Optimus greeted him back.

Ironhide nodded his head and held out the body carefully so he didn't damage it.

"Here it is Prime like I said." Ironhide said.

Gently Optimus took the small body from Ironhide and looked it over carefully, he flinched a little as once again a spark shot between him and the body. He put it out of his mind for the moment and focused on the body.

"How did you find this Captain Lennox?" Optimus asked.

Again Will went through the story about there concern for Sam and Mikaela's find of the body. By the time he was finished both Ratchet and Bumblebee had joined them and where listening intently to his story.

"Interesting, and you say that you haven't seen Samuel all morning?" Ratchet asked.

"Nope. Last I saw him was last night when I showed him to his room." Will said.

All of the bots looked at the body that was laying in Optimus's hands.

"Why does it look dead?" Will asked.

"It is not dead, it is in stasis. All sparklings remain in stasis until they are physically on lined." Ratchet told him.

"So why not turn it on and see if it knows how it got here?" Will asked.

"Because for one this is a brand new spark, it has no memories there for it would not be able to tell us anything. Also because when a sparkling is first brought on line they require several cubs of extreme low grade energon which we don't have here. And thirdly we do not know how it will react to so much information being processed at once. This area is too large and would over load its CPU." Ratchet said in a huff. "The best thing to do would be to get it to my med bay where we can on line it in a safe environment where we have access to plenty of energon."

Will nodded his head. "Alright just one more question before we do any of that... What exactly is a sparkling? I have an idea but I want to be sure."

"A sparking is to us what a baby is to you humans." Optimus answered.

Will wasn't going to ask how a baby Cybertronian had ended up in his guest bathroom, he was sure that he would find out soon enough. Will listened as the four Autobots talked about how they where going to get the sparkling back to the base without anything happening to it. In the end they decided to place it in Ironhide's truck bed and cover it with a tarp that Will had in the barn. Once they where situated the rest of them transformed and the drivers side door to Ironhide's cab opened inviting Will to come along. He declined for now saying that he needed to make sure that Sarah and Mikaela where alright.

The door closed and the convoy of vehicles pulled away from the house all of them driving a lot slower then they normally did to make sure that nothing happened to the body laying on the back of Ironhide. They pulled onto the highway and set a course that would take them right to the new base.

Well there you have it I hope that you all liked it. I had fun writing it.

Please Review and I will try and get the next chapter out soon.
