Ratchet held up a sparkling, finally, I thought the pain would never end! Wiping off the little mech, he handed him to me. I looked at Wheeljack, who's optics were filled with tears. Then at my brother, who smiled at me. "Hard to believe I'm a father," Wheeljack said.

The sparklings optics looked around, and smiled. "Apparently it feels safe here," I said.

I allowed the human kids on the berth. The sparkling clicked happily, grabbing it's toes. All I could do was laugh. "What cha going to name him?" Miko asked.

"I don't know," I said, "but I like the name Grounder, I don't know why but it seems to fit him."

"Then Grounder it should be," Wheeljack explained.

I heard the groundbridge be activated, and watched as the rest of the Autobots entered the room. Arcee looked at me, then walked over. "Congrats on the sparkling," she said.

"Thanks," I explained, just as the sparkling clicked happily again.

I looked at Bulkhead. "You want to hold your nephew, bro?" I asked.

"Shear," He said.

I gave him Grounder, and watched the sparkling squeal, raising it's servos up. "He likes you, Bulk," I said with a laugh.

"No kidding, new wrecker of the team!"


AN: yes, sadly it's the end, but there should be more stories about Grounder soon!
