Chapter9-the cuteness continues

"Slipshot!" Ratchet scolded

"Oh come on Ratch, she's only a kid!" Red-alert stated and picked the girl up who then threw the wrench she'd been playing with at Ratchet's head

"Red; big meanie being nasty!" Slipshot whimpered and Roadrip kicked Ratchet in the leg

"Don't be mean to my sister!" he yelled. Since Aqua and Bee had gone off for some alone time the rest of the Autobots were stuck with the twins on babysitting duty.

"Ouch!" Ratchet held his foot whilst jumping around making small tremors "never again, never again." He mumbled

"Aww ain't they adorable." Red-alert smiled and tickled Slipshot who giggled and grabbed his finger. Slipshot and Roadrip had learned a few words... and some bad words courtesy of Sunstreaker who was then punched by Aqua.

"No they are not." Ratchet disagreed "they are annoying little monsters." He growled

"Oooh, you big glitch!" Slipshot exclaimed and Red-alert looked at her

"... No saying that in front of your mother or father got it?" he asked and she smiled and nodded

"How're the twins?" Thundercracker asked as he leaned on the doorframe

"They're horrible!" Ratchet exclaimed annoyed

"Aww but they're so cute." He grinned and picked Roadrip up who chirped and clicked whilst clapping his hands and giggling

"You'd make a terrible father Ratch." Sunny grinned as he poked his head round the door, the moment Slipshot saw him she stretched her arms out

"She wants you Sunstreaker." Red-alert grinned

"Why?" he asked desperately, the kid had decided she liked Sunstreaker, in her mind he was funny and always up for a laugh, her favourite type of Autobot.

"Sunstweaker!" she called, not being able to say his name right but it made him chuckle and shake his head

"No, it's Sunstreaker." He smiled

"Suuun-stweaker!" she tried but failed and shrugged "Sunny!" she called and he grinned and walked over then picked her up making her giggle in glee

"You really would make a great dad." Sideswipe smirked as he stood at the door, a few moments after Roadrip jumped out of Thundercrackers' arms and ran over to Sideswipe

"So I've been told." Sunny shook his head as Slipshot cuddled his finger

"Me want up!" Roadrip called and Sideswipe picked him up, Roadrip had grown less shy around everyone and currently liked Sideswipe the most since they watched cartoons together, although Jazz was a close second for both the twins, they loved him cause he played awesome music and always had fun stuff to do as well as he never got tired of playing with them. Ironhide was nice too... but he just didn't have the baby thing down. He may have with their dad... but not with them. Speaking of their dad...

"So... I remember you said that you had a surprise for me... for when they were born." Aqua stated

"I did." He grinned

"They've been born for almost a month now... what was the surprise?" she asked frowning

"I've been waiting for the right moment... being in fights constantly... is not the right moments, that's why I concocted this little get-away for the night." He smiled and held something behind his back

"Well... what is it?" she asked

"In human culture there's a ceremony... I felt it suited this... so i'm asking you..." he gulped nervously "I had Sunstreaker make this in secret... since they don't have them in our size." He smiled and she frowned in confusion, she'd researched a lot about human culture, and so far only one ceremony came to mind

"What... are you asking?" she questioned and he pulled a ring out from behind his back, the ring was made from a beautiful metal that tinted lilac in the sun, the stone on it was a light blue gem that's only found in one place, Cybertron. There were five all in a row and a large one in the middle. She smiled

"Will you... will you marry me?" he asked nervously. Meanwhile

"Hey you think he's asked her yet?" Sunstreaker asked his brother whilst holding a sleeping yellow twin

"Asked 'er wha?" Jazz asked suspiciously as he held the other sleeping twin

"Oh erm... nothing." They both answered

"Tell me." He growled

"Ok fine, Bee asked me to make a ring... he found this earth tradition where; if a guy and a girl love each other, they get married... they have a ring to symbolise it." Sunstreaker explained

"'N he's gonna ask Aqua ta Marry 'im?" Jazz asked shocked

"Yepo." Sideswipe grinned

"As long as they don't have anymore sparklings... i'm fine with it." Ratchet stated

"Ah shat it Ratch." Jazz wafted his clawed hand at the medic "dey're as cute as... what's cute?" he wondered

"...Kittens?" Sideswipe guessed

"I guess that fits." Jazz remarked as he shrugged

"Ugh, Battle hardened Mechs thinking two little monster twins are cute as kittens... it's beyond me." Ratchet sighed and looked at Slipshot "...ok so they're kind of cute... but they don't like me." He stated and Jazz grinned

"Nah, they just feel that you don't like them." He replied as he ran a finger over Roadrips' head. Back with Aqua and Bee

"..." Aqua was speechless (APOCOLYPS IS HERE!!!!!!!!) so she just did what any girl would do, glomped him knocking him over

"So is that a yes?" he asked and she kissed him

"Yes!" she exclaimed and he slid the ring onto her metal finger, luckily it fit just right, then he pulled her into a deep kiss. Back at the base everything seemed quiet; the twins were sleeping silently in Aqua and Bee's room, the Autobots minus Jazz, who was watching the twins, were in the lounge watching the large television. Three hours passed and when Aqua and Bee finally got back, they opened the door to find the twins cuddled up to Jazz who lay beside them in stasis. Aqua smiled softly

"Aww." Bumblebee spoke in a hushed tone

"Adorable isn't it." Aqua smiled softly and stored the picture into her memory banks as did Bee.

"He really is a big softie." Bee smiled as Aqua gently nudged Jazz awake

"Huh?" he asked groggily

"Jazz... we're back." Aqua spoke quietly

"Oh... –yawn- ok then... I'll seya in the morning then." He smiled and she hugged him

"Thanks for lookin after em for us." She spoke softly

"No worries sis." He returned the hug then smiled at Bee and walked out, silently closing the door in the process. Aqua picked Roadrip up and put him in his own small bed as Bee did the same with Slipshot, then they led down and slipped into stasis. Morning came quickly and they both came out of stasis to feel a weight on their stomachs, the looked down to find a blue bundle and a yellow bundle resting comfortably. Somehow they had woke up and climbed up without Bee or Aqua noticing at thing.

"Aww." Aqua smiled and looked at Bee who grinned "they got your sneaky skills down." She smirked

"Ah yes, the ancient art of the sneaky." He smirked whilst wiggling his fingers up and down making her laugh.

"Think we can move without them noticing?" she asked grinning

"I very much doubt it..." he frowned then plucked Roadrip from his feet softly and brought him closer to his chest. The little boys' optics turned on slowly as he yawned. Aqua did the same with Slipshot making her wake up.

"Now how did you two get up here?" she asked softly

"Climbeded." Slipshot answered sleepily

"And you?" Bee asked Roadrip

"Swipshot hewlped me up." He grinned as Slipshot hiccupped. As she did so two small wheels popped out from her feet

"Huh?" Bee asked confused

"Hehe, she must have my skates." Aqua grinned

"You have those too?" Bumblebee asked

"Yep... I just never use em." She smiled as Slipshot began messing with the metal wheels

"Daddy... I want skates!" Roadrip whimpered and Slipshot stuck her glossa out at him as she made them disappear

"Now now Slipshot, don't be mean to your brother." Aqua frowned and Roadrip sneezed, but as he did a small cannon formed from his right arm and blew a hole in the wall making him giggle

"...They've activated their weapons... oh dear primus." Aqua sighed

"Yay! Boom boom!" Roadrip cheered

"I want cannon!" Slipshot cried and her right arm turned into a sharp knife and her left arm turned into a small gun whilst Roadrips' left arm turned into the blade

"They have them both?!" Bee yelped

"...Better warn Ratch." Aqua grinned.
