Erin heard music coming from the barn. She stood up and limped out to the barn. Once she reached the doorway, she looked down the alleyway and seen nothing. Walking in slowly she peeked into the stall that had Dusty's name on the door. Erin gasped at what she saw, at first she thought she was going to about have a heart attack, but then she caught herself.

"Um..." Erin trailed off when she realized that it was a little boy that looked like Ratchet. The little boy with brownish yellow colored hair, runs towards her and hugs Erin's bad leg. The girl bit her lip to keep her from screaming out in pain that came just a few seconds after the boy hugged her leg. Looking at the little boy, Erin couldn't help but smile at the boy.

"Come on, you. Lets go see what my sister can do for you. What do you think?" The girl with the cowboy hat on asked the boy. Blond haired boy make a gesture of grabbing something and Erin realized that he wanted her hat. So handing her hat to the boy, he puts it on and he's blue eyes begun to shine brighter than they did beforehand.

"Erin who's this little friend of yours." Kyra asked.

"Found him in the barn in Dusty's stall. He's been crying for maybe an hour or more." Erin explained to her older sibling.

"What's your name?" Erin's sister asked the boy.

The boy hides his face in Erin's neck and said weakly "Watchet."

Ratchet, is that it?" Kyra replied back to the boy.

Little Ratchet buries his face back into Erin's neck again and nods.

"What should we do, he's Optimus Medic?" Erin asked.

Kyra pointed over to Will's place that was right next to Erin's place but only a mile down and back. The cowgirl walks back to the barn and saddles up her roping horse, Dusty. She picked the boy up onto Dusty's back and walked with her horse.

Once they reached Will's place he seen the little boy and blow a gasket in front of her and the little boy. "Why, on earth didn't you tell me that you had a son! Is that why you're gone almost every single day?" He shouted in Erin's face.

She looked at him before she could talk to him. "NO."

"Then what is it?" Her boss finally said in a less harsh tone.

"I found him in my barn. He's been crying for an hour or so, Will. If you don't believe me you can go ask my sister. We agreed to show Optimus, well cuz the looks alot like Ratchet,Sir." She added Sir at the end because he hated to be called that now that he's off the base and officially retired from the military.

"Stop calling me Sir, Erin." Her boss said.

"Sorry." She shot back at her boss.

"Hey Erin!" Spinning around on the heels of her boots she notices a tall slim man, who called her name. He was wearing faded blue jeans and a roping shirt that was blue and red. Erin's face lights up when she realized that it Prime. She liked the way Optimus said her name, she just couldn't figure it out, but she liked it.

"Thank God you came just about right now!" Erin said through clenched teeth as she shot Will a look.

"Hey, at least cut me some slack here, Erin. I just got done yelling at the top of my lungs and now you're turning the tables on me here. At least give me about two seconds to get up to speed here." Will said to her and Prime, too.

"What's going on here, sounds like you two are in a battle with each other?" Optimus said to them, which caused Erin to give Will a death look, again. This earned Erin to have the back of her head get hit by Optimus.

"Why, I'm, I the one who get's my head smacked by one or the other of you guys?" Erin asked rubbing the back of her head. Will chuckles at Erin and she attacked him. Having a hold of him by the neck, Erin said into his ear " Either you give up right now or we can continue this later, without having to worry about someone stopping us."

"Neither!" Will said as he spits out blood in front of him.

"That's not the choice, here Will." Erin tightened her grip on Will's neck.

"You're going to regret this, Erin!" Will said as he got free from Erin's grip, only to have her on the ground pulling on her arms and had a foot pressed into her back.

"You son of a Bitch, Will. Next time I'll outsmart you. And I'll be the one laughing, not you." Erin said. Will press harder into Erin's back and said "In your dreams my friend." The cowgirl scowled at their friend that was just standing there doing nothing to stop them from killing each other.

Erin thought quickly. "Hey Will, your wife just called me saying she pregnant again. It's a boy. Just to let you know that." She said with a grin forming on her face. Will looks at Erin's face before he lets go of her arms along with his foot that was still in her back. She ends up having dirt go into her mouth, quickly she wraps her arms around her rib cage. She grumbled something under her breath that Will couldn't hear.

There in the saddle was the little boy that Erin found in the barn. "Brother!" Erin said as she spits out the rest of the dirt and up onto her feet. "A...Can you give me a second!" She added as she limped over to her two men look at Dusty and then at Erin.

Then Prime asked,"Is he yours, Erin?"

Erin looks over to her friends and her face turns red in the cheeks. "Er...Um...NO?"

"Then who's he?" Will asked.

"He's" There was a long pause before she continued on "Not mine I found him in the barn in Dusty's stall, crying. Okay, Can I explain it to you later, but I got to go." She rode off with the little boy sitting in front of her, grabbing the saddle horn for dear life.

Looking over her shoulder she noticed her two friends facing each other talking. Dusty had her ears pointed backwards when her owner turned back around to face forward in the saddle. Letting out a sigh Erin lets go of the reins to her horse, Dusty knows her way home and didn't need help.

Reaching the barn Dusty stops at the doorway. Erin slides off and touches her horse on the top of the her mane. Reaching for the boy she helped him down to the ground where he played with Gunner. The cowgirl noticed that her dog was barking, whining at the pain when he pulled her German shepherds ears. Laughing at her dog she, then scolds at the little boy for pulling her dogs ears. She couldn't just drop her good roping saddle on the concrete, just to get the boy and tell him not to pull Gunner's ears again. Erin left the two alone until she was done undressing Dusty.

Finally she was done with Dusty and could tell the boy the news about her dog. Looking over to where the two used to be, Erin couldn't find them. She whistled for Gunner to come to her but she didn't. Panic set in Erin, pulling out her Glock, she begins to walk in the direction of her dogs whimpering.

It paid off to train with Will and his men during their training sessions. She sometimes got to be the bad guy and she was good, but Sam wasn't as good as her. Who screamed when he heard the paintball gun shots or didn't have the guts to pull the trigger to the paintball gun. Erin sometimes had to cover his mouth in order to keep him quiet or he was getting caught by Will and his men, while Erin stands nearby and watches him be shoved to the ground. Ah, Sam. He definitely needs a lesson or two when it comes to spying on Will or one of his men. More like the Autobots, meaning look out for Ironhide and Bumblebee, who warn the others.
