He didn't sound bad, but he noticed that almost…joyful; he walked up closer to behind everyone in front of him. As soon as he got in front of everybody else, he is shocked to find a red and orange flamed female Autobot; who happens to be his sparkmate lying on the berth, and his medic trying to help her off of it.
"What's wrong with Causeway, Ratchet?" Optimus asked a little worried; Ratchet looked at his leader with a happy smile on his face, "Congratulations, old friend," Ratchet said with happiness. "Causeway…is there something I should know about what is going on?" Optimus asked very confused; Causeway turned towards Optimus with a shy smile, as to how he was going to react to she was about to tell him.
