(TFP Starcee) Unexpected Turn of Events

The Time Has Come Part Three: Spark Beats

Tick......tock......tick.......tock......tick......tock....................
Went the non existent clock, over and over again for hours had passed without a single word spoken. Pure silence filled each human's heart as they waited for the sound of the ground opening, but nothing happened, there was only the sound their heart beats and thoughts to keep them company.
As soon as June and the others arrived at the base they saw fowler hunching over the the railings in a sadden state, they quickly rushed over to him and asked him what's wrong and where was Arcee, he simply told them that she went through the ground bridge to find the other autobots in Australia. William felt horribly guilty for just letting Arcee go like but there if she had waited for them to return then something could've happened to her and the sparklings, they would not have survived the long wait for Starscream or ratchet to save her.

June comforted fowler while she bandaged up his burnt hand, he really did enjoy her company and she in return did as well and if it wasn't for Jack groaning out of grossness every five seconds at their single adult flirty nature. Than maybe June and fowler would go out on a date sometime and hopefully it would be better than their last sour milk run together.
The kids waited on the couch without the Tv on for some odd reason, during that time jack was the most worried one out of all of them because understandably Arcee was his guardian and strangely enough he was concerned about Starscream too, after many months of hanging out together along with raf and Miko. They all had fun with the seeker, especially when they do their study sessions and when the kids came back from school after doing a test Starscream was eager to hear what they got, especially from sense her grades have been increasing greatly over the months. Even though Starscream didn't fully know about the humans history or culture he did enjoy helping them with science, of course because he is such a nerd bot.
Right now Jack would do anything to bring Starscream home safely for Arcee.

Miko looked over at Jack on the other side of the room, he was hunched over with his head in his hands, Miko carefully lifted up Rafael from her lap, poor Rafael he was extremely tired and soon fell asleep on miko's lap thirty minutes later after when they arrived at base.
Miko gently laid raf's head on the couch then walked over to Jack who was sitting on the separate couch. She crouched down in front of him and placed her hands around his, he looked up at her with a tired expression as well, but made the effect to look at her directly.
"Hey, don't worry Jack everything is going to be fine, we all know that Arcee is the strongest femme on this team" she said as cheerfully as she could, secretly she was freaking out too but she knew that she had to be strong for Jack's sake.
"Y-yeah thanks Miko, I-I'm just" he said slowly while rubbing his eyes.
"Stressed, I know, but you know what stress does to ya right" she thought for a second, "oh yeah it gives you worts"
"Uh...I think it's wrinkles but thanks anyway Miko, your a true friend" he smiled lightly at her words and just before she got up and left she quickly pecked him on the forehead. He reeled back in mild shock and looked up at her before she went back over to the other couch and laid raf's head back on her lap again,the punk rock girl had turned his frown upside down, Jack couldn't believe what she did that but shrugged it off for now.
In the background June and William could only smile and giggle at how much the kids were growing up so fast.

Back in Australia
"Oh no no no no no no" knockout repetitively mumbled to himself while holding the motionless baby in his arms, ratchet quickly but very carefully pushed Arcee's stomach together by the seams, right now he had to help knockout with the seeker sparkling.
"Knockout what's wrong!?" Ratchet asked worriedly.
"I-I don't know, she-she's not functioning and her spark beat is sl- slowing down fast" he stuttered while doing another scan over the baby seeker's spark chamber and frame again, because of his increasing shaking nerves his scans were incorrect and he tried to do it agin but ratchet placed a servo on knockouts left forearm, clearly telling him to calm down a little.
"Knockout please give her to me" ratchet asked with his arms out, knockout nodded and slowly gave her over to Ratchet and he quickly moved from in between Arcee's legs to give her back her dignity and sat beside ratchet.
"Ratchet what's going on, what's wrong with her!?" Starscream demanded slightly while he tired to keep Arcee's optics awake by shaking her frame, the male seeker's sirely instincts kicked in and he started to panic again. "What's wrong with my daughter?!"
Optimus and the other autobots were becoming worried as well and wanted to rush in to see if they can help but Optimus had stopped them, even though his spark was loudly thumping in his audios, telling him to do something, ANYTHING to help and not just to stand there and watch. But reluctantly he only stayed put and preyed non stop to primus for help.
