He followed me home... can I keep him?

Bumblebee looked around as she appeared on the hill that overlooked the base, making sure that everything was alright. She could see Ratchet to one side, talking to Endeavor, and Ironhide leaning against the compound wall as he watched them. There was no sign of the native Jazz, but her audio receptors picked up the sound of Optimus Prime humming to himself somewhere inside as he ripped open the old computer monitors that they'd been given.

"Well," she said softly, turning her head toward where Jazz stood behind her holding their sleeping sparkling. "This is it."

The Autobot leader is humming the tune from a popular children's show when Bee leads Jazz through the back door and past Ratchet's workshop into the huge main room. Bee watches him for a moment, then makes a little beep.

"Yes, Bumblebee?" Prime doesn't look up from the roaches that he's just found in one of the monitors.

Jazz makes a sound like clearing his throat and straightens. "Optimus. Me an' Bumblebee got somethin' real serious to talk to you about." He winces as he shifts Honey over to be held by Bumblebee for the moment.

Prime looks up, then blinks as he sees how they're standing and how Bumblebee is holding her breath. "What is it, Jazz?"

Jazz nods to Prime with the most sober look on his face. "First, I am not your Jazz. I'm one that Bee met in the Nexus. I...only now could come here with Bumblebee though." He looks Optimus Prime straight in the optic. "The reason she got the other spark, why she got Honey, is cause of me."

He frowns down at the smaller mech, wondering why Bumblebee had never mentioned a second Jazz. "What do you mean?"

Bee finds that she's standing at attention, her arms wrapped around Honey protectively.

If the is one thing Jazz is good at,it is being brave and bold before very large opponents.

"When Bee was injured, she wound up in the Nexus. I...well, I was just a free spark, and I was so worried about keepin' Bee in her body...our sparks mixed."

Prime suddenly understood the young scout's anxiety concerning his second in command. "You were killed during the war in your reality."

Jazz nods. "Yes. Megatron decide he wanted two peices of me."

He shakes his head. "That don't matter now. Nice gal in the Nexus gave me a new body. What is important," He smiles at Bee and Honey before sobering up again. "I am the one responsible for be having Honey, and I have decided to take on responibility for Honey, along side Bumblebee."

He looks Prime in the optic again. "I asked her to be my sparkmate, formally. She said yes."

Prime looks at Bumblebee and sees the set determination and pleading in her posture. "I see."

Jazz still keeps his straight posture. "Now I am asking you, Optimus Prime, to please allow me to stay here, with Bee and Honey. (And I am telling you,sir, never to take Honey away from Bee again.)"

He braces himself for the possible dressing down he is going to get.
