Chapter 11

((Warning rated M content further down in the chapter))

It had been a year since optimus had asked Silverspark to be his girlfriend and she couldn't be happier. After both their work filled days were over they would either play together with their daughter or leave her with ratchet and go for a drive and just talk. On their breaks they would sit with their daughter drinking energon and talking about how their day was so far. She loved every minute of it. She hasn't felt this happy since her brother and Mikaela got together and that was years ago. She heard a while ago from Sam that he was going to college in a few months. She was told he wanted her to see him off as well as Mikaela. Unfortunately with all the work she has to get done, she had to decline. She felt kind of bad about it but she did tell him that if she ever got the chance she would come visit him at college.

"Hi mom" Silverspark jumped from her thoughts as her youngling daughter ran into the room giggling followed by a chuckling optimus.

"Hello Electra, Optimus." She replied as she stood and kissed Optimus on the cheek plating causing him to blush. She smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Good afternoon Silver. Care to join us for some lunch." He asked and she smiled and nodded.

"Have i ever told you no." She joked and he faked a thoughtful look.

"Well there was that one time..." He trailed off joining in her joking manner. She gently hit his arm laughing. He chuckled wrapping an arm around her waist as they walked into the cafeteria. Silverspark gave her father an odd look as he zoomed out of the room with an excited look.

"Well that was weird. He must be getting knew wrenches or something." Optimus shrugged hiding his nervousness. He was planning on proposing to her and Ratchet was helping him with the planning. He prayed to primus that she would say yes. Of course ratchet had warned him that bonding to her would cause her to become sparked. She gave him a worried look as he gave a nervous chuckle.

"Are you alright Optimus?" She asked and he nodded. She gave him a suspicious look but no the less let it go.

"Yes. I'm fine shall we sit." He asked and she nodded with a soft smile. Electra and Silverspark sat down at the table as optimus grabbed their energon.

"Mom why is dad acting weird." Electra asked and Silverspark shrugged in reply.

"I have no idea love. Why don't you see if Jazz or bee can get it outta him later." She said and Electra smile mischievously.

"Okay." She said and Silver shook her head with a small chuckle. Optimus walked back over and handed them both their energon.

"What's got you using that look?" Optimus asked and Electra smiled sweetly.

"Nothing dad." she Said happily and he gave her a suspicious look.

"Oh let it go Optimus." Silverspark laughed and he shook his head he intently knew those two were planning something.

"Very well. How has your day been so far?" He asked and they went on with their normal routine. Later on that day after the work day had passed Optimus walked into Silverspark's office with a nervous air about him. Silverspark gave him a worried look. He had been avoiding her after their first break and she was worried.

"Are you alright?" She asked softly and he nodded.

"Would you liked to go on a drive with me?" He asked and she nodded.

"Of course just give me one moment to lock up and we can leave." She said and he nodded. Electra was in the med bay with her grandfather. Being taught about the Cybertronian body and such. She had taken an interest in being a medic and her parent's couldn't be prouder. Pulling herself out of her thoughts yet again Silverspark locked up her office and followed optimus out to the tarmac where they both transformed and left the base heading towards their favorite spot. Once they arrived it was a little after dark and you could easily see the stars shining brightly in the sky.
