Nick grabbed hold of Bumblebee's shoulderplate before he could be thrown off by his Father nearly falling back. He blinked his blue eyes, and turned his head, listening intently to what his Father was saying. "T-The Decepticons?" His eyes widened a bit "But you guys defeated them before us Techno Organics were born!"
He sat there on Bee's shoulder, clearly stunned at the very idea of the Decepticons coming back. And he could only imagine how Bumblebee felt. Not only did he have Sam and Mikaela to protect if this was the case, but he had a son too. The Decepticons would probably target the Techno Organics, there was no argument there.
"So that's why you were worried earlier?" Nick shifted "You're afraid they'll go after me to get to you?" He asked, trying his best to understand the current situation. He rubbed his Father's shoulderplate calmly, as if to to try and reassure his Father that he was still there... Still safe... At least for the moment.

Bumblebee twitched a little and nodded slowly. "Yes...that's why I'm getting over-protective, even for me. That's why I am so worried," he answered, never one to hide the truth from those he cared about, those he loved.
He gently rubbed his son's back and smiled a little. He appreciated his son looking out for him, but he was supposed to be looking out for his son. He gently smiled and looked out before slowly moving around to stretch out his legs, though he moved slowly.
He stopped when he thought he caught a blip on his scans, one hand going up to hold onto Nick gently, before shrugging his free shoulder a bit. "What did you do at school today?" he asked, still walkin garound slowly.

"I can understand that... I mean, Daniel and I are so... Vunerable." Nick said, bringing up Sam and Mikaela's five year old son "To you it's probably a scary thought... Because I'm well I'm not like you." He commented "I'm less able to protect myself."
Nick fidgeted when Bumblebee brought up school. He had something he really wanted to tell his Father but he was nervous to. He thought for a moment then spoke. "Well all the usual junk of course... But I sang a solo for my teacher. My Choir one I mean... Well not for her, she caught me singing that lullaby you used to play me." He just went out and said it "She wants me to step up to the higher group at school."
He was scared to take the offer, of course. He had never been asked to do that before, and it was so... So... Nerve-racking. Of course, his singing came from his Dad, and it was no surprise. Bumblebee spoke a great deal through music and it was simple genetics really. He had just never thought of himself as that good of a singer.

Bumblebee nodded a little. "Yeah...that too. It's just in my nature to be protective. Ironic that I am a scout, isn't it?" he responded with a warm smile just for his son as he continued to walk around, still stretching his legs out.
He spent so long in his alt-mode that he often didn't have time to stretch out his legs. The fact he could now was a small blessing; one he would trade for his family to be safe. He smiled a little at his son and gently stopped.
He smiled and almost seemed to beam at Nick. "That's wonderful! Do you not want to accept? I have to let you know, this would be great bragging rights for me. Being able to tell everyone that my son is such a wonderful singer that he brings all to shame...well, maybe not all to shame, but that is what I get," he murmurred softly, gently holding Nick in his Transformer sized hug, only very gently.

"Yeah very ironic." Nick chuckled a bit, then turned to look outward. He relaxed a bit, and thought for a moment, he was a bit deep in thought about the situation at hand. He was curious if he should or not.
The teenager was caught completely off guard when Bumblebe pulled him into a hug. He had been hugged before, in fact, Bee had hugged him when he was little all the time. Of course, it had been hard since he was so tiny, but Bee seemed to get better at it over the years.
He smiled and leaned against his Father's chestplate calmly. "I don't know yet Dad... I think I am... I'm just nervous." He commented, looking up with his blue eyes meeting Bumblebee's optics, of the same shade "What if I end up not being as good as the others in there, you know?"

Bumblebee smiled and continued to cuddle his son against his chest plates. He was always careful with Nick, always and forever he was careful with Nick. He hadn't held him in his transformer mode when he was smaller, but he did when Nick was older, and more durable. Well...more durable then he was as a child, and he gently, slowly, settled down onto the ground, to just hold onto Nick.
He shook his head a little and stated, "Your teacher would never allow that to happen. She would never wish for you to move up if she did not think you were ready."
He continued to cuddle his son and smiled a little, looking over across the horizon. He smiled a little and gently pat Nick's head. "Now, which lullabye was that you were singing? I sang quite a few when you were younger. Wouldn't mind being reminded what it was that stands out in your mind," he commented slyly.

Nick looked up at Bumblebee, this was something they hadn't done in a long time. They had done this a lot while he was in 4th, 5th grade, and middle school though. He smiled a bit, snuggling against his Father's chest. Though he never would act this way around other, Nick always did around his Dad.
He looked at Bee for a moment, and nodded. "You're right, I guess it's just nerves you know. I've always had them." He shrugged lightly.
When Bee asked him how it went he smiled a bit. He slowly hummed and sang it slightly, then stopped once it was done. It was in Cybertronian, and Bee used to use it to put him to sleep. "Your version was always better though." He shrugged.

Bumblebee grinned and nodded. "Just nerves," he soothed gently, still cuddling Nick against his chest plates.
It was soothing, feeling Nick right there. He gently settled more on the ground and he continued to gently hold Nick there. He enjoyed snuggling with his son, almost as if he was small again...and Bee was in his holoform. He refused to hold Nick when he was small in his robot form.
"Naturally Nick...It's sung in Cybertronian. I could teach you the English version...sort of. If you wanted," Bee commented softly and gently held Nick a little more against him.
He almost couldn't help but feel more clingy to Nick when they were in the open.
Decepticons could be anywhere.

Nick closed his eyes a bit, but then opened his eyes after a moment. He thought for a moment, he loved hearing Bee sing it in Cybertronian, sometimes he did want to learn it in English. "I'd love to hear you sing it in English Dad." He said calmly setting his hands behind his head.
He enjoyed these calm moments with his Dad. His Dad being who and what he was they rarely got moments like this. Though his Father was always there, always gave him rides to school, and normally, was always there when he got home from school. Normally he'd walk home, mostly because their home wasn't far from the school.
"Though the Cybertronian version will always be my favorite." He added.

Bumblebee smiled at Nick and nodded, though laughed at the added comment. "Don't worry. It took me forever to translate the lyrics into something humans would understand," he answered with a grin and leaned back a little, relaxing on the ground.
His eyes glowed faintly for a moment, and he began to sing softly, trying to keep Nick safe against him.
"Sleep, sleep, my darling one.
Ease away the burdens of the day.
Sleep, sleep, my precious one.
You are worth more then the stars in the sky.
When the day has faded
And night takes the sky,
You will be, safe in my arms.
Hush, hush, don't you cry
The fears of yesterday
Won't touch you today
Darling, darling,
Don't shed a tear,
You're Daddy's with you
Always and forever
Near and far," he sang softly, his voice carrying.
It was odd, singing it in English, but it still carried that old feeling to it. He looked down a little, and smiled. “How was that?” he asked softly.

Nick listened to Bee singing, and combined with the way he was laying he felt himself actually dozing. It was getting dark out a bit, so it was no surprise. This was, after all the song he used to fall asleep to. Though it was early at night, he gueessed, it had the same effect at any time and age.
He cuddled up against Bumblebee's chestplate, and yawned light, turning onto his side. He then looked up at his Father with a smile. "That's even more beautiful then I imagined it being translated as." He commented.

Bumblebee smiled at his sleepy son and he gently ran one finger along Nick's back. He smiled a little and gently cuddled Nick, just happy to have this moment and he smiled a little. "Yes, it took my forever to translate it over properly," he murmurred softly and took in the surrondings.
He sighed and shook his head a little. "Time to go home baby boy. Can you stand, so I can get you in my alt-mode and drive you back home?" he inquired softly, smiling warmly at his son.
He did love this feeling, but night was falling, and that meant he had to get Nick home.

"It was worth it." Nick smiled a bit, relaxing as Bumblebee held him the way he did. He was ready to fall asleep there and then when Bumblebee spoke again.
He smiled calmly, and sat up, nodding he was sure to climb down from his Father slowly, careful not to fall. He was on his feet and on the grass in seconds. Normally he would have said something about the 'Baby Boy' comment, but when it was just the two of them, he didn't mind. "Yeah, I think I can get myself into you." He nodded.

Bumblebee waited for Nick to be out of the way before he transformed quickly, his door slowly opening for Nick. "Come along, before you fall alseep on your feet or in that grass," Bumblebee stated, shifting on his wheels before slidding back slightly.
Once Nick was situaited, he closed the door, insured the seatbelt was on, and began to drive. He slowly took off, down the road, and soft instumentel began to play over his radio. While he could sing, the darkness forced him to focus on the road.
He refused to drive over a cliff with Nick.

Nick smiled a bit as Bumblebee played the music. Leaning back against the seat, he let his eyes close. Knowing that's what Bee wanted, for him to go to sleep. He ran a hand along Bumblebee's dashboard. With a soft voice, he spoke. "Love you Dad." He whispered before drifting off into sleep.
