Notes:

Hey everyone! It's me once again. I've been writing every other day, as you can see. But don't get used to it. After winter break I won't be able to write as much. I have another chapter for you! I have been alternating between this story and sequels to Feminine Side. I hope you enjoy! Please review, but no hate.

Transformers, their toys, shows, and franchises sadly do not belong to me. But someday I will own them all! Mwahahahahaha! But, until then, other people own them.

A Drunken Mistake: Month 3

The nerve of some bots! Kicking a mech out of his own medbay was just uncalled for! Yeah, he may be sparked, but that didn't mean Ratchet was useless. Wheeljack had kicked him out! It just wasn't fair! It was his medbay!

He had argued and argued with Wheeljack, but Wheeljack wouldn't back down. The twins were even on his side! And they were Ratchet's bondmates! It wasn't fair at all. He could usually win an argument with Wheeljack or the twins, but together it was hard.

And then they had to play dirty and bring Prime in. They said Prime would make it a direct order. It made him so angry! It's not like he couldn't do his job just because he was sparked. Yeah, he had quadruplets, but that didn't matter! He should still be allowed to do his job!

At least he wouldn't have to worry about dealing with all the idiots he usually had to deal with on a day to day basis. That was a plus. And with Wheeljack running the medbay, he wouldn't have to worry about his friend blowing himself up all the time. But it still made him mad. He felt like he should be doing something.

Maybe he could talk them into at least letting him do some paperwork. Then he'd have something to do. And it's not like that would cause too much trouble. He decided that is what he was going to do. He got up and marched straight for the medbay, where he knew Wheeljack would be. He was going to get Wheeljack to let him do something, even if he had to kill him.


When he got there, Wheeljack looked up from the datapad he was looking at. "Ratch', I thought I kicked you out. What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I want something to do! I can't just sit around and do nothing! Can I at least handle the paperwork? It won't be like I'm doing too much. It's just paperwork," Ratchet answered.

"Um, I have to think about it," Wheeljack replied.

"There isn't anything to think about. Just answer the question!" Ratchet said. He was starting to get irritated. Wheeljack was being difficult.

"Okay, fine. I guess it can't hurt. But you'll need to take breaks."

"Fine. I can manage that. As long as I have something to do."

"Alright. Well, I left the paperwork in your office. I was gonna work on it later, but now you can do it."

"Thanks, Wheeljack."

"You're welcome. You know, the twins are gonna kill me for letting you work."

"Don't worry. I'll make sure they don't."

"Okay. I hope so. I don't feel like being maimed by the terror twins."

"I know." Then Ratchet headed to his office to get started on his paperwork.


The twins were not very pleased at the fact that Wheeljack had let Ratchet go back to work. It didn't matter to them that it was just paperwork. They had gotten very protective of Ratchet since they knew he was carrying their sparklings. And they had gotten even more protective when they found out it was four.

They came barging into the medbay and made Wheeljack nearly jump out of his seat. They both looked like they were ready to kill him.

"Why did you let Ratchet go back to work?! I thought we agreed that he needed to stop!" Sunstreaker growled.

"Yeah! He should be taking it easy! He's carrying four sparklings!" Sideswipe agreed.

"Our sparklings!"

Wheeljack didn't know how to react. So he just sat there cowering in fear. Thankfully he was saved. At that moment Ratchet walked in.

"Sideswipe! Sunstreaker! Leave Wheeljack alone! I talked him into it. It wasn't his fault. And it's just paperwork! It's not like I'm overworking myself. So shut up before I make you shut up!" Ratchet growled.

"Oh, um, yeah! We knew that!" Sideswipe lied.

"Uh huh. Well get out, and leave Wheeljack alone! I'm fine! Stop worrying! I can take care of myself! So shoo!" Ratchet said.

"Alright, alright, we're going!" Sunstreaker said as they ran out. They did not want to face the wrath of a sparked Ratchet. And wisely so.

"Thanks for the save, Ratch'," Wheeljack said after they had left.

"You're welcome. I told you I'd take care of them," Ratchet replied.

"Yeah, I know. So, you're taking a break?"

"Yeah, I thought I should get some energon. I'm sort of hungry."

"I can understand that, given the fact that you are carrying four sparklings."

"Uh huh. It's annoying. I'm always hungry."

"But it will all be worth it in the end, right?"

"Yeah, I guess so."


It had only been three months, but since he was carrying four sparklings, his chest had already begun to swell. So, the only comfortable position for him to recharge in was on his back. The twins were on either side of him. That was usually the case. They liked to guard him, even in recharge. It was sort of funny, and Ratchet didn't mind that much. That way, he could be next to both of them. He loved them, even though they were the terror twins.

That night, Ratchet was staring at the ceiling, just thinking. The twins were already in peaceful recharge. He was thinking about how they were going to have a family. He trusted the twins, and knew they would make great parents. Even if they didn't think so themselves. He looked at them. They were so calm and peaceful. A big difference from when they were awake.

Suddenly, he felt something inside of him. The sparklings were kicking! He put his hand where they were at, and he felt another kick. He couldn't believe it. It just made the thought of their family even more real. He felt very happy then.

The twins notice this and came out of recharge. They looked at their bondmate, wondering why he was so happy.

"What's up, Ratch'? Why are you so happy?" Sideswipe asked.

"The sparklings are kicking," he replied.

"Really?" Sunstreaker asked.

"Yeah."

"I wanna see!" Sideswipe said excitedly. Then he put his hand where Ratchet's hand was a minute ago. "They are! I can feel it! It's amazing!" he said.

"Let me see," Sunstreaker said. He moved Sideswipe out of the way so he could see. "Yeah. They are. That's wonderful. I can't believe it," he said.

"Alright, alright. Calm down. They're just kicking. You don't have to get so excited. They'll probably be doing it a lot more," Ratchet said, somewhat annoyed.

"Sorry. It's just so amazing. I can't believe it. We're gonna have a family," Sideswipe replied. He was excited. This just made it seem even more real. It made him very happy. He could tell Sunstreaker felt the same way.

"Yeah. I guess we are," Ratchet said.


More Notes:

Awwwww, how sweet! I know, there's not as much humor as I would have liked. I'll try to make the next chapter more humorous. But I just couldn't help myself. I wanted to put a little bit of sweetness in there. What did you think? I hope you liked it. Leave me a review and let me know what you thought.

P.S. Do any of you read these notes? I think some people do, but I'm not sure.
