(HUMANIZED AU!!)

It was a chaotic day at N.E.S.T., and not a good chaotic. Ironhide had been abandoned by his boyfriend, who, turns out, was a total deadbeat, and piece of shit. He loved his ex, heart and soul.

He had believed that he could be loved. But now? Nope. What's worse? He was pregnant. And with how everything crashed down around him, not good for the baby.

"How is he, Ratchet?" Optimus asked, gently.

"He hasn't eaten, hasn't talked. He's stressed, and severely heartbroken." Ratchet sighed. "He's just cried."
