Family time

Summary: I wrote this lose collection of one shots because I am bored. Probably won't ever be finished but who knows?

Disclaimer: I only own my human OCs. I do not own Transformers.

"Doctor's Visits"

Summary: It's the day that the Wilson siblings and the Autobots dread the most…

"Optimus, do we have to see Ratchet tomorrow?" Brandon groaned.

"Seriously, if he gives me anymore lectures about spending too much time in the lab-"his older sister, Darcy started to say.

"Well, you do spend too much time in your laboratory." Her twin, Marcy, replied.

"Are we going to have to get shots?" Kayla asked fearfully.

"I don't like this anymore than the rest of you guys but Lauren and Terry had their checkups before they left and were just fine afterwards." Lisa said.

"Lisa's right and besides I want him to tell me that I can still play sports this year." Kyle added.

"Kids, be good and listen to Ratchet tomorrow. You will go to school afterwards unless he determines that you are sick enough to stay home. Is that clear?" Optimus Prime asked.

"Yes sir." All 6 kids replied.

"And Kyle, I do not want to hear that you have gotten a girl pregnant." Elita One added.

"You know I'm not that stupid." The 16 year old human stated.

"I'm just reminding you." The female Autobot said. "Now all of you kids get some sleep that includes you Darcy."

Darcy groaned but went to bed as the rest of her siblings had.

"Things have not been the same since Lauren went on tour and Terry started college at USC." Bumblebee muttered when the human kids were gone.

"I agree; I don't know that Kyle is the best role model for the rest of them." Ironhide stated.

"Kyle is young and has much to learn as do his siblings." Optimus Prime reminded them. "Please remember that."

Soon, Jetfire and the Aerialbots had come back from their patrol and every Autobot bid the other good night. Optimus then went into the medical bay to get some preventive maintenance done.

"It's about time you remembered this." Ratchet muttered to himself as he began his work. "I can only hope that the other children are much better about keeping their health in mind."

"I am sure that they won't think about disobeying you." The Autobot leader said. "I have explained everything to them and know you too well."

Ratchet let a small smile slip as he finished maintenance on his leader and then allowed him to leave. The medic then went into recharge, wondering how to get the Wilson siblings to be calm the next day.

Morning came and all 6 of the kids currently on base were now ready for school; they had gotten their things together, had eaten, brushed and flossed their teeth, and showered. Now all they had to do was wait to go into the medbay for their checkups.

"Kyle, you're first." Ratchet said

Kyle got up and walked into the medbay. "So, can I leave my underwear on when you're doing this?" he asked

'Yes you may." The yellow Autobot medic replied. "Get everything else off and get up here."

Fortunately, Kyle was in normal health and as each of the siblings went through, the results where the same. Kayla wasn't so scared afterwards and Brandon was excited about how different Ratchet was compared to human doctors. When all the kids were dressed again and had gotten their things together, Ironhide and Bumblebee dropped them off at school. He then checked over the other Autobots (with everyonce except Ironhide cooperating) and soon found himself alone in the medbay again.

Ratchet let out a sigh of relief; the kids were all fortunate that their human parents had taught them healthy habits from an early age and that when one of them got sick or injured, it was a rare event. The only major things to have happened to the kids before meeting the Autobots were when Lauren once fell out of a tree that she was climbing and the time that Marcy had to have an appendectomy. He knew that there would be a time when one of them would have to his help with a medical problem and was prepared for it to say the least.

A few days later, the kids were watching a movie because it was this month's "Friday Movie Night". The movie was Grave of the Fireflies, the only film that made all the kids cry besides Titanic. Optimus didn't quite see the point of the sad movie until Marcy had explained what it was about then had put it in to show him.

When the movie had ended, the 5 older kids were asleep and their cups that they had put Kool-Aid in were scattered on the floor (though not the drink itself), along with the bowls of spilt popcorn. Brandon was the only one still awake and had gotten up and stumbled over to the trashcan.

"Brandon, what's wrong?" Elita One asked.

The 8 year old boy didn't answer; he simply vomited. Luckily, it had wound up in the trash and not on the floor.

Optimus took a garbage bag and picked up the Styrofoam bowls and cups, then swept up the popcorn. This was not what anyone was expecting…

Ratchet found himself watching over a now sleeping Brandon, who had been a bit scared and upset after the experience but had been calmed down. The Autobot medic put a metal hand over the boy's chest and said "There, there little one. I'm here and you'll be all right."

Brandon stirred a little bit but settled down again, sleeping peacefully…

Author's note: Because I have writer's block again on my last story about my OC Peaches, I decided to post this earlier than I originally intended to. Hope you enjoyed it!
