Optimus smiled down at his daughter, she was sitting on his hand and helping him with his jobs, as the leader of the Autobots and helping with the humans, as she had a better grasp on their way of life than he did, even though he had learnt a lot since coming to Earth, there was still a load more he needed to learn.
"So what's next on the activity list Pops?" Clara asked, leaning her head back and looking up at her father, who smile once more, how he had missed this, watching his daughter grow up.
"We have finished Clara, is there anything you wish to do?" He asked her and she gained a thoughtful look at the question and gave him a small grin.
"Kick Galloway?" She asked hopefully and Optimus shook his head, but he couldn't help the chuckle that escaped his lips, as much as he understood her disliking for Galloway, he was still in charge, and therefore, could not be harmed, and the Autobots were forbidden to harm humans anyway.
Clara groaned and Optimus looked down at her, worried.
"Clara?" He asked and she looked up at him, all colour drained from her face.
"Yeah?" She asked feebly and he stared at her for a brief moment.
"Are you alright?" He asked her and she shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm not sure, I feel ill, and everything's spinning" She told him and he called up Ratchet on his intercommunication system.
"Ratchet, Clara will be joining Zara in the medical bay, she is not well."
A brief pause
"Understood, I shall clear a bed"
Optimus carried his still groaning daughter to the medical bay and handed her to Ratchet and he gave her a quick scan and frowned.
"Amazing" Ratchet muttered staring at her and Optimus frowned, his daughters sickness was amazing?
"She is reverting back to her Cybertronian form at an alarming pace, almost too fast for her body to handle, hence the sickness" Ratchet explained seeing the shocked look on his commanders face.
"Zara, has been undergoing something similar" He told Optimus and his gaze fell unknowingly to his own daughter, lying asleep on her bed with her leg in a cast.
"What will happen to them?" Optimus asked, referring not only to their children, but to all the sparklings, as this would eventually happen to them to.
"I…do not know, I am taking it as it comes, helping her as I can and when I can, but there is no way to predict it, as each will change differently, for Zara, it is her arms that first underwent this change, from what I can tell from my scans, Clara's body is changing first, her heart" Ratchet explained and Optimus looked down once again, as his daughter fell into a painful, yet peaceful sleep.
"We will take it as it comes, I shall alert the other parents to these developments, and get them to keep and eye on their sparklings" Optimus decided, and left reluctantly, as his daughter began changing from the inside out.
