Starting a new

First Transformations

"are they here yet?" Reflect asks, looking up from his datapad as Ironhide walks in. Remix is curled up beside him snoring on one side and Echo is on his other side, snoring as well. Reflects sitting with his legs folded, a cube resting on one knee and his other servo holding his newest medical datapad. Ironhide shakes his head.

"should be in by morning." Ironhide assures. "ready for them to get their first alt modes?" Ironhide grins.

"no." Reflect glares. "but I'm not holding them back. this is their next big step." Reflect adds softly, looking down at his sparklings. Ironhide smiles and walks over to him, leaning over him gently.

"don't be upset." Ironhide murmurs, cupping the spallers cheek. Reflect huffs.

"m'not upset... okay maybe a little." Reflect mumbles. "my sparklings are getting their first vehicle modes." Reflect pouts, reaching over to gently caress his sons cheek. Remix chirps quietly, shifting, but doesn't wake. Ironhide chuckles softly, leaning over and kissing his bonded gently.

"I knew it was in there somewhere. you're sad they're growing up, but you forget all this stuff happens before they turn one. its okay. they're still babies by our terms, I promise." Ironhide soothes. "they will be for a long time. you don't have to worry about them growing up. they don't even enter youngling years for nearly 10 Earth years Reflect, its okay." Ironhide assures. Reflect glares at him.

"shut up. lemme alone." Reflect pouts.

"I'm just picking on you baby." he chuckles. Echo shifts and stretches, yawning.

"creator!" Remix chirps, jumping at him. Ironhide laughs catching him quickly.

"hey buddy." Ironhide chuckles, kissing his head.

"creator." Echo giggles, reaching for him.

"hey sweetspark." Ironhide chuckles, scooping her up as well. they cuddle up to him happily, giggling. Reflect smiles at them.

"my happy sparklings." Reflect smiles slightly.

"have they had cubes yet?" Ironhide asks.

"yeah, they had one before their naps but they're probably hungry again." Reflect says.

"coob." Echo chirps.

"cube sweetie." Reflect corrects.

"you used to say it like that too. it was cute." Ironhide smirks. Reflect huffs, getting up off the berth. Remix reaches for him and Reflect takes him with no question.

"walk." Echo chirps. Ironhide nods, putting her down and takes her servo gently. Echo toddles next to him happily. the sparklings babble happily, back and forth between their sparkling chatter and the few words they know. Reflect just nods happily, he understands most the sparkling chatter, it makes Ironhide roll his optics.

"you still understand that crap? its almost been two years since you changed." Ironhide says, looking over. Reflect shrugs.

"yeah. I still understand them. its weird. but it avoids a lot of melt downs." Reflect says. Ironhide nods slightly.

"thats true it does." Ironhide agrees. he grabs Echo a cube and scoops her up, happily feeding her.

"they're growing up so fast." Reflect sighs, grabbing Remix a cube. Remix smacks his servo away, holding the cube and growling at Reflect. "yep, you're mine." Reflect murmurs, chuckling softly. Remix cuddles up to him glaring, he pushes the cube away to chirp angrily at Reflect. "I know, I know, Remix doesn't like it when I pick on him, hmmm?" Reflect chuckles. Remix pouts at him and Reflect chuckles softly, offering him the cube back. Remix snatches it, glaring. Echo pushes her empty cube away.
