A Little Talk

After the "incident" a few days ago, things had gotten weird between Ratchet and I. Finally, at some point, we promised each other to pretend the whole thing never happened.

The thing is…

I can't stop thinking about it!

When I take care of Midnight I'm momentarily distracted, but after that... I can't get it out of my head!

So, I have no choice but to go to Cammie for help.

Cammie's Room…

"What's wrong Kat?" Cammie asked me, breaking the silence. We'd been sitting on her bed for a few minutes now and I hadn't said a word.

"It's that kiss!" I finally exploded. "I can't stop thinking about it!"

"Really?" Cammie asked surprised.

"Yes! And the reason why I can't stop thinking about it is because… I can't believe I'm going to say this, but it's because I liked the kiss!" I shouted, throwing my hands up in the air for dramatic effect.

"Oh, Kat!" Cammie cooed. "Are you finally accepting that you like Ratchet?"

"I don't like Ratchet." I grumbled.

"Yes you do."

"I don't!"

"Fine. Say what you want." Cammie sighed. "But I bet the others will accept their feelings."

"What are you talking about?" I asked, staring at her strangely.

"Isn't it obvious?" she asked, looking at me. "Alana is falling for Ironhide, Maria is already pretty much in love with Jazz and I-"

I looked at Cammie slyly when she abruptly cut herself off.

"And you what?"

"Nothing!" she said hurriedly.

"You're lying."

"No I'm not!" she hurriedly replied.

"You were going to say you're in love with Optimus, weren't you?"

"No… maybe… yes!" she squeaked out.

"I knew it!" I cheered, jumping up from the bed and pumping my fist in the air.

"Shh!" Cammie shushed me, pulling me back down onto the bed. "Be quiet!"

I chuckled. "Relax Cammie. No one's gonna hear us."

"I can't help it!" she whined.

"Cammie it's okay." I comforted her. "If it makes you feel better, I won't tell anyone."

"Really?"

"My lips are sealed." I promised, pretending to zip my mouth shut.

"Thank you!" she said, hugging me tightly.

"Cammie, I'm glad you're happy… but losing air… fast!" I told her. She quickly let go, grinning sheepishly. I took a breath in and shook my head at her.

"So… now what?" Cammie asked.

"I don't know. Guess I'll go back to the med bay and take care of Midnight."

"Hey Kat?"

"Yeah?"

"What's it like?"

I looked at her confused. "What's what like?"

"Taking care of a sparkling?"

I smiled. "It's wonderful! I mean sure it gets annoying sometimes with all the crying and stuff, but I love it."

"Really?" Cammie asked curiously.

"Yep! Having a sparkling is the best thing that ever happened to me." I smiled, remembering the time when I decided to become Midnight's mother. "Midnight makes me happy. She always manages to put a smile on my face. Besides… it's about time I took on some sort of responsibility. And in the end, all my hard work will be worth it. Midnight will grow up to be a wonderful femme and I'll feel proud, knowing that I helped make her what she is."

"Help?"

"My parents tried to mold me into the perfect child. They tried to make me what they wanted me to be, not what I wanted to be. I'm not going to do that with Midnight. I'm only going to help her when she needs it and let her become what she wants to be."

Cammie smiled gently. "You really are a good mother Kat."

I returned the smile. "Thanks. There's one downside though."

"What?"

"Midnight will probably have the same attitude as me and Ratchet."

Cammie let out a laugh. "It's possible!"

I chuckled slightly. "I'm gonna go now. This talk made me miss Midnight."

I got up and headed toward the door. I took one step out when Cammie stopped me.

"Kat?"

"Yeah?" I asked, looking back at her.

"Take good care of Midnight."

"I will." I replied, a smile flitting across my face.

Med Bay…

I walked into the med bay, a smile still on my face. I brightened when I saw Midnight up on one of the berths. Ratchet was standing over the berth, feeding her. He turned when I entered.

My smile brightened. "Hey!"

"Where have you been femme?" he asked, picking me up and setting me on the berth.

"Just having a talk with Cammie." I replied, looking at the sparkling before me. Midnight let out a yawn and drifted to sleep like she always did after eating. My smile softened as I remembered Cammie's words.

"You really are a good mother Kat."

Ratchet must've noticed. "You feelin' alright femme?"

I kept my gaze on the sleeping sparkling and responded.

"Absolutely wonderful."
