Chapter 2 babysitter build team

After X-brawn and Prowl left the build team knew they had to babysit Sideburn. "I'm no babysitter!" Heavyload said.

"Well we have to do it because we have to make up to them for waking him up." Hightower said. Then over the monitor they heard.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAA!" It was Sideburn he was crying.

"Sounds likes he needs us." Grimlock said.

"Lets go," Wedge said.

They walked into the room and saw an awake and very upset Sideburn who was crying his intakes out. Heavyload picked him up. He sniffed the air he smelled something. It was coming from Sideburn. "UH, I think I know why he's crying." Heavyload said.

"Well tell us," Grimlock said.

"It smells like he needs to be changed." Heavyload said.

"I never changed a diaper plate." Hightower said.

"Me neither," Grimlock said.

"Neither have I," Wedge said.

"Same here," Heavyload said.

"Well at least we smelled one," Hightower said.

Koji heard the commotion. "What's going on?" Koji asked.

"Sideburn needs to be changed even though we never changed a diaper before." Wedge said.

"I can show you how I help change my baby cousin's diapers all the time." Koji said.

"Oh thank you," They said.

"Place him on the changing table." Koji said. They did so. "Pull back those straps," Koji said. They did so. "Now slid it off," Koji said. They did so and they said.

"YUCK!" They said.

"I've seen worse and so have you." Koji said.

"You're right." Wedge said. and threw away the diaper.

"Now use the wipe to clean up his rear." Koji said. Wedge did it ever so carefully.

"Next sprinkle some of that powder on his back side." Koji said. Grimlock did it.

"Now grab a clean diaper." Koji said. Heavyload grabbed one.

"Now open it and put one half under him." Koji said. Hightower did so and was real careful about it.

"Now take the other half lay it in front of him and use the straps to secure it." Koji said. Wedge finished it up and done.

"Hey that wasn't so bad." Heavyload said.

"Now go wash your hands." Koji said. They left to do so. They came back and Sideburn was cooing and chirping at Koji. They placed Sideburn back in the crib.

Sideburn seemed pretty content. He yawn and went back to sleep.

Then hour later they heard chirping over the monitor. Heavyload and the others came into look at him. Sideburn seemed a little fussy. Wedge picked him up. Sideburn chirped and tried to grab at Wedge's face. "No there is no need for that," Wedge said.

Sideburn got upset and cried. "Sorry I didn't mean to upset you," Wedge said. Koji came in.

"Hey guys, what's the problem this time?" Koji asked.

"Sideburn is crying because I might have snapped at him." Wedge said.

"I wish there was something we can do," Grimlock said. Sideburn began to calm down because Wedge began to rock him.

"Whew," They said. Sideburn began to get fussy again.

"Why is he so fussy he was just feed and burped and his diaper doesn't need changing." Hightower said.

"Maybe he's bored, babies need to be entertained too." Koji said.

"Any ideas?" Grimlock asked.

"I got it, babies' love it when you play peek-a-boo with them." Koji said.

"Well how do you do it?" Heavyload asked. Koji told Wedge to bring him to eye level. Koji covered his eyes.

"Where did Koji go?" Koji said in a singsong voice. Sideburn looked around curiously. Then without warning Koji uncovered his eyes and said. "Peek-a-boo!" Sideburn giggle and cooed happily.

"Hey let me try," Hightower said. Hightower covered his optics and said. "Where did Hightower go?" Sideburn looked around. Then Hightower uncovered his optics and said. "Peek-a-boo!" Sideburn giggled you could tell he liked this game.

"My turn," Grimlock said. Grimlock covered his face and said. "Where's Grimlock?" Sideburn looked around again this was getting exciting. "Peek-a-boo!" Grimlock said. Sideburn was really starting to enjoy himself.

"Hey it's my turn," Heavyload said. Heavyload covered his faced. "Where did Heavyload go?" He said. Sideburn began to look around. "Peek-a-boo!" Heavyload said. Sideburn laughed he was really having fun.

"Okay my turn," Wedge said. He handed him to Heavyload covered his optics and said. "Where's Wedge?" He said in singsong voice. Sideburn was curious. Then without warning Wedge uncovered his eyes and said. "Peek-a-boo!" He said Sideburn laughed.

Heavyload handed Sideburn back Wedge the Sideburn began to cry.

"Now what's wrong?" Grimlock asked.

"Maybe he's hungry," Koji said. Hightower said he was going to get a bottle full of low grade.

"Make sure it's warm!" Wedge called. Hightower came back with a warm bottle of low grade energon. Wedge took the bottle put it in Sideburn's mouth. Sideburn began to suck on the bottle. His little hands gripped the sides. Sideburn was enjoying the bottle. He finished it up in no time. He began to cry again.

"He need's to burped." Koji said. Wedge placed Sideburn up to his shoulder and began to pat his back and then... *Burp!* Sideburn sighed and snuggled into Wedge's neck. \

"Aw!" Everyone in the room said. Then Prowl and X-brawn came in.

"Is everything alright in here?" X-brawn asked.

"It is now," Heavyload said.

"Yep," Wedge said.

"Wedge burped Sideburn right before he could explode." Grimlock said. Sideburn began to kiss Wedge.

"AW gross he's spitting on him." Hightower said.

"He is not, he's kissing him." Koji said.

"AW!" Everyone said. Wedge handed Sideburn to X-brawn.

"Thank you some much for watching him you did a good job," X-brawn said.

"And did you tell us a machine did this to him?" Heavyload said.

"Yes, but in many pieces in the exam room." Prowl said.

"We'll look at it to see if we can make a replica or rebuild it to fix this whole mess." Hightower said.

"That would be great thank you." X-brawn said.

"No problem," Grimlock said.
