Shadowstalker shook her helm. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually feel sorry for Ratchet."
"What happened next changed everything." Ratchet said.
"What did you guys do that night?" Miko asked.
Alpha Trion looked at Talia and Autumn. "I can guess."
(In The Past)
Ratchet never left the monitor ever since Emily and Kimberly left, and Ironhide stayed in the training room longer than usual.
"Ratchet, you should take a break." Optimus said.
"It's been ten months and eight days since I last saw her Optimus." Ratchet sighed.
"We understand that Ratchet, but drowning yourself in work isn't going to help. I mean, Dooku is going on a special mission on Naboo in a few days, don't you think that I'll miss him?" Nola who just so happened to be on Optimus' shoulder said.
"Dooku should have never brought them to base, if he hadn't none of this would be happening!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"Yes it would have Ratchet, because then Neve would have been after them and that would be when we would have had to bring them here." Nola said.
Just then, a picture of Emily popped up on the monitor.
"Emily?" Ratchet asked.
"Ratchet, just the Autobot I wanted to talk to." Emily's voice rang through the comm-link.
"We'll go get Ironhide, he might want to talk to Kimberly." Nola said. She and Optimus made their way to the training room.
"Emily, you have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear from you." Ratchet said.
"Ratchet, there's something that I need to tell you." Emily said.
"Anything Emily." Ratchet said.
Ratchet walked away from the monitor shocked at what he just heard, he passed up Ironhide in the hall. "Kimberly wants to talk to you."
Ironhides optics widened. "Kim's on the monitor?" He then ran to the command center.
Ratchet walked into Optimus while he was deep in thought.
"Ratchet, are you alright?" Optimus asked.
"I'm not sure Optimus, Emily just told me something very shocking." Ratchet said.
"May I ask what it was?" Optimus asked.
Ratchet sighed. "Emily just told me that she just recently had a child. A daughter to be exact."
"She must be overjoyed." Optimus said.
"She also told me that I'm the father." Ratchet said.
"That is wonderful Ratchet, you should ground bridge out to meet her." Optimus said.
"Prime!" Ironhide shouted as he ran down the hall towards them.
"What's wrong Ironhide?" Optimus asked.
"Nothings wrong, Kimberly just told me that she had a daughter, and that I'm the father!" Ironhide said.
"Emily told me the same thing about her, I was going to ground bridge out there to meet her. Would you like to come with?" Ratchet said.
"What do you think?" Ironhide said.
Emily opened the door when the doorbell rang. "Oh my God! Kimberly come quick!"
"What's wrong Em- Oh my God, it's YOU!" Kimberly exclaimed as she hugged Ironhide.
Emily hugged Ratchet. "What are you doing here?"
"We came to see our daughters." Ironhide said.
"If we are allowed to." Ratchet said.
"Are you kidding me?" Kimberly asked.
"They are your daughters." Emily said "Come in."
Ironhide and Ratchet sat down as Emily and Kimberly went into another room. Both of them came back with a bundle in their arms.
"This is Talia Violet Waters." Emily said as she handed Talia to Ratchet.
"She's perfect." Ratchet said then his head shot up "Did you just say that her middle name is Violet?"
"This is Autumn Page Summers." Kimberly said as she handed Autumn to Ironhide.
"Well at least my daughter's middle name isn't a Decepticons." Ironhide smirked.
Emily gasped. "Nola told me about Violet, I'm sorry Ratchet, it completely slipped my mind."
"No, no it's fine, it suits her." Ratchet said.
