Here it is! The sequel to "Selflessness Is The Path To Love." :) A huge thank you to all of you who have been so patient with me in waiting for this story. :)

Transformers Animated belongs to Hasbro. I only own Natasha (also known as Lightning Sky), Trigger Point, and Flora.


A Sparkling's Love Can Change A Mech

Chapter 1: Three Years Later

Flora hunkered down as she watched her father and mother searching for her. "She's gotten better at hiding," said Jazz approvingly.

"A little too much, perhaps," said Natasha. "Have you and Dad been showing some more tricks behind my back?"

Jazz hid a smirk. He and Prowl had been teaching Flora a few tricks that Natasha didn't know about and they had just turned around to search behind another chair when they suddenly heard their daughter squeal in surprise and they jumped sharply, turning to see that Prowl had snuck up on their daughter and lifted her up, taking her by surprise. "Grandpa's got you now!" Prowl said teasingly to Flora, who began laughing happily.

"Grandpa! I almost had Mommy and Daddy!" Flora groaned, but her giggles made it impossible to take her seriously.

"I noticed," he said. "But Grandpa's got a reputation to hold up as the top Cyberninja here besides your father."

He then held her in one arm and began tickling her. "And no one is taking away that title from me."

Flora laughed and squirmed as Prowl kept tickling her for a bit. Natasha and Jazz watched and she looked up at him. "Top Cyberninjas, hmm?" She asked, cocking an eyebrow. "So you two have been showing her some other ninja techniques."

"Hey, she's a ninja sparkling, honey," Jazz said with a grin. "She's got to learn from the best."

He didn't expect Natasha to tackle him and start tickling him. "Are you saying I'm not the best?" She asked in mock anger. "After all, I am the daughter of a ninja."

Flora giggled. "Mommy and Daddy are funny," she said.

Prowl chuckled. "Yes, they are," he said before whispering to her. "Your father is very ticklish on his underarms."

"He is?" She whispered back to her grandfather.

He nodded. "Go get him," he said with a smirk as he set her down.

Flora wasted no time in running over and doing so, surprising both her parents. Jazz fell into another laughing fit and Natasha quickly pinned his arms down to make it easier for her daughter to tickle him as she grinned over at Prowl. "Dad, you're corrupting my daughter," she said, but her grin showed him that she meant it jokingly.

"And you're not?" He jokingly retorted back as he gestured to her holding her sparkmate's arms down while Flora tickled her father's underarms and Jazz was howling with laughter.

Natasha chuckled. "Okay, sweetspark," she said to her daughter. "Let Daddy breathe, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy," said Flora and obediently stopped, sitting on her father's stomach as he took a deep breath, playfully glaring at his wife, who smirked back at him. Flora then reached up and wrapped her arms around Jazz's neck in a hug. "Love you, Daddy," she said.

Jazz felt his spark melt at that and smiled at his daughter. "I love you too, munchkin," he said, hugging her back.

Natasha chuckled a little and leaned down to give her mate a loving kiss, which Jazz returned, looking at her with a loving look on his face. "How did I get so lucky to have the two most beautiful girls in my life?" He asked.

His mate and daughter both giggled before Jazz stood up, holding Flora in one arm and wrapping his other arm around Natasha, who rested her head against his shoulder, a smile on her face.

Optimus, who had just gotten out of a meeting with Ultra Magnus, smiled as he saw them. "Good news," he said. "The Decepticons have been very quiet, even the ones in the Cybertronian stockades."

Natasha looked at him. "Let's hope they stay that way," she said. "If I never seen Megatron face again, life will be perfect."

"No argument here," said Prowl.

The others nodded, but didn't know that the peace they were enjoying would be shattered very soon.


Uh-oh! Sounds like something bad. Read on!
