Wheeljack chuckled.
It was an honest point - being called a dad the first time was really weird. He patted Bee’s holoform on the shoulder, though. He could also relate to that since he had not been ready for it either. “Aw, Bee, you think that now, I understand. I was the same way,” he told him with a big smile. “But the first time you hear him call you “dad” you’ll want to hear it all the time.”
After a moment though, he did add. “We do have mentorship programs. But that won’t solve your predicament. You can’t take the kids home,” he explained with a wink. “But don’t get too ahead of yourself. Just focus on if you even want to take him in at all.”
Wheeljack smirked as Dane looked a bit in awe in response to him being Bumblebee. Standing at attention, the young adult straightened a bit. ”It’s an honor, sir,” Dane replied before going to at ease and replied warmly. ”Dad told me all sorts of stories. Pretty cool to get to meet you finally.”
Wheeljack put an arm around Dane’s shoulders. A look of pride in his optics. “Dane here is a marine! Working his way up through the ranks. Scared the lubricate out of me but I’m proud,” he explained with a big grin. “Even fought his first Decepticon the other day to my understanding.”

Wheeljack certainly seemed to know how this whole thing worked; Seemed so sure that Bee would take well to being a parent. The scout wasn’t entirely sure himself, but one thing he was sure about was that he wanted to help Nick out however he could. Sure he could go through with the Reunification thing, but did that immediately mean he had to be a dad? Bumblebee saw himself as more of a big brother kinda mech, especially since he was one the youngest Cybertronians out there if not the youngest altogether.
The Autobot’s Holoform chuckled nervously as he listened to Wheeljack speak with Dane, doing his best to not show off that nervousness. “Oh, did he now? Well it’s good to meet you Dane.” Honestly, he wasn’t too sure what to say letting Wheeljack lead the conversation. It wasn’t that he was necessarily uncomfortable, but just caught in a moment of uncertainty. It was hard for him to explain.
“So.. anything you like to do aside from fighting Decepticons?”

Wheeljack could tell he may have come off a little strong with his passion.
But noting the look in the other mech’s eyes, he put a hand on the door calmly. Looked him in the eye, and had one last words of wisdom. “Bee I know I come on a little strong. Always have… But I will say this. Just because you do this don’t mean it has to be forever. Maybe it is, maybe you become his dad. Or maybe it’s not and we find someone else down the line when the dust is settled,” he explained, full honesty in his voice. “But I will say this: you won’t know the answer. Not even when he does come home with you. It may be days, weeks, even months. But one day you will know the answer… Maybe in the heat of the best or worst moment of your life. But I will say this: a lot of mechs I know are haunted with what might have been. Don’t be one of them.”
Dane on the other hand was quick to note that Wheeljack was making him uncomfortable. Being a little more in with social graces than his old man by a long shot, he decided to add. ”Actually I was just thinking about one of my pastimes,” he nodded at his car form. ”Street racing. Funny, I was thinking about a car suspiciously like yours who beat my ass last week. Bad.”
Wheeljack’s eyes widened. “You’re still doing that? That’s soooo dangerous!”

Primus why did things have to be so difficult sometimes? It was so hard to know what the right choice was as there were so many pros and cons to both, but ultimately the one thing Bee knew was that he needed to consider what was best for Nick. Ultimately, the decision would be up to Nick himself and if he didn’t want to go with Bee then that was that. There was no pressing the issue at that point and it was just a matter of finding someone that he would be comfortable around for the time being.
He understood what Wheeljack was saying, but it didn’t make it any easier all the same.
Looking between both Wheeljack and Dane, there was a part of Bee that just.. wasn’t sure where he fit into the conversation. He knew that Wheeljack was fine with him staying and in fact he’d encouraged Bee to stay, but he couldn’t help but feel like he was interrupting something at the same time. Still, Dane at least seemed to notice and attempted to find a way of getting Bee back into the conversation. That he could appreciate.
“Oh yeah. I’ve won all kinds of drag races. Thankfully Blurr’s not here to challenge me cause I think he’s probably the only bot out there that could actually beat me.” Bumblebee’s holoform chuckled a bit, glancing down to the watch on his wrist. “Primus.. I didn’t even realize what time it was. I should probably head back cause Robby and Mo should be home soon. I wanna be there for when they do cause it’s family game night tonight and they make this big deal about not canceling. Either way it was nice getting to catch up with you Wheeljack and getting to meet you Dane.”

Oh! Family game night?
Wheeljack almost wanted to ask what "family". But he guessed that was a story for another time, if he were being truthful. But he guessed there must have been a reason other than his mission that Bee was in Witwicky. Either way, he nodded his head in response. "No worries, Bee. I'm around here often if you ever wanna chat and stuff," Wheeljack replied honestly. "And the second you've made a decision, you comm me. I'll take care of it personally, OK?"
Dane thought about asking what he meant, but decided it was best to leave that to the Bots. He did however decide to respond to one other thing. "Good to meet you too. Next time I see you on the road, I'm not going to go so easy," He joked. "You're not the only one with some Cybertronian attachments after all."
