This is the start of a present for my dear friend Bumblebeelover901, since her birthday is coming up soon. The chapters should be longer after this, so please my friend, enjoy!

A femme ran hard through the streets of Iacon. Her newly sparked infant was tucked against her chest and, thankfully, was still sleeping peacefully. She'd heard of a mech that lived in this area that had a spark of gold. She only hoped that he'd take her sparkling and raise him for her. If not, her tiny sparkling was doomed.

Something shattered in a nearby home, and the young femme jumped. She tucked the blanket that was wrapped around her sparkling in tighter before she continued. She knew that she had little hope of finding her way back to the dump she called her home. She dug in her sub space for the peice of paper she'd written his address on. Repeating the numbers over and over again softly, she looked to the doors of each unit. The sharp pain that she had been feeling for a while now ripped through her frame, but she only winced and remained searching.

After a few breems of no luck, she finally found the house she was looking for. The sparkling stirred before chirping softly in a question as he looked up at his creator. The femme timidly knocked on the door and waited as she heard the sounds of someone approaching. It opened to reveal a mech that was a lot taller than she expected, with bright red and deep blue armour. "Yes?" He asked. His kind voice made her lose her courage and reach within her mind for the words that had fled her.

"I-I need your help. P-please," she mananged as tears filled her optics. His look softened to a caring worry and he stepped aside to let her in. She followed him into the house and closed the door behind her. He led her to a table and gave her a cube of Energon before taking a seat himself to listen to what she was asking him to do. "M-my sparkling, won't survive with me. I'm... dying, and I don't know where his sire is. P-please. T-take him. I... want him to live a better life than I have." She broke into sobs as she held the bundle tightly to her fragile frame. Her bond had already been broken with her son, since with her spark already failing it wouldn't have helped her sparkling live with the damage caused by a strong bond being snapped when she died. She couldn't raise her optics to look at the mech. She was trembling in fear of being turned away and told to find someone else. A gentle servo was placed on her shoulder.

"Of course. I wish I could do more for you, but I can at least give your sparkling a future," he replied softly. The femme's tears turned into ones of joy for her child. "What's his name?"

"B-Bumblebee. Thank you. Thank you," she continued to repeat it over and over again as she kissed the tiny yellow sparkling's fragile helm. She gently handed him over the mech that would be his acting-sire from then on. "May Primus bless you for your kind spark." She stood and he followed suit. "I must go. Please, protect him. Treat him as if he was your son. Thank you." And with that, she disappeared down the hall and out into the street. The tall red and blue mech looked down at little Bumblebee and felt his spark latch onto the sparkling's and a guardian bond formed.
