chapter 29 Spitfire is born

Hot rod who was in second grade was helping out his mother. The reason was because she was pregnant. "Here's your mail Tinside," The post bot said.

"Thanks just hand it over to Hot rod." She said.

The post bot put the mail in the bag Hot rod was holding. "Thanks." Hot rod said.

Then Moonracer came over. "Hi, Tinside how are you doing?" She asked her.

"Doing fine looking forward to the big day." She answered.

"Okay if you need anything call." Moonracer said.

Hot rod's friend Spinout came up. "Hey Hot rod are you excited?" He asked him.

"About what?" Hot Rod asked.

"You know about the new sparkling being born." Spinout told him.

"Oh that I am pretty excited then my mommy's belly will return normal it is very difficult for me to sit on her lap now." Hot rod said.

"Yeah soon things will start changing." Spinout said.

"Changing?" Hot rod asked.

"Yes there will be a new sparkling in the house that will be loved and hugged." Spinout said.

"WHAT?!" Hot rod shouted. "Mommy!" Hot rod shouted.

"Yes sweetie?" Tinside said.

"You're telling me that sparkling growing inside there will live with us?" Hot rod asked.

"Yes I've told you that the sparkling will become part of the family." Tinside said.

"I don't like this! I'm talking to daddy!" Hot rod said.

"Hot rod!" His mother shouted.

At the house. "Is it true?" Hot rod asked.

"Yes there will be a new baby in the family." Kup said.

"But I thought I was you and mom's baby!" Hot rod shouted.

"You will be one of our babies. But you will be a big brother." Tinside said.

"Yes when there is another sparkling there will be more love." Kup said.

Hot rod snuggled against his mom. He felt something like a tap from her belly. "What was that?" Hot rod asked.

"Oh the sparkling kicked." His mother said.

"You mean it can move around in there?" Hot rod asked.

"Yes put your hand right here and you will be able to feel it." Tinside said placing Hot rod's hand on her belly.

Sure enough the sparkling kicked again. "Wow I felt the sparkling kick!" He said. "The sparkling will need some things a ball and a teddy and blankets." Hot rod said.

Kup laughed to himself about how sweet his son was being.

"Oh I believe it's time." Tinside said.

"Oh okay I'll call Moonracer." Kup said and went to the phone. "Thanks Moonracer see you when I drop him off."

"Why Moonracer?" Hot rod asked.

"You see I will be in the hospital for a few days and your father is spending the night with me tonight. That's why you are spending the night at Moonracer's." His mother said. Then she grabbed something it was a picture of Hot rod.

"Why are taking a picture of me?" Hot rod asked.

"So when the baby is born I can show him or her their big brother." She said.

"Yes and when the baby is born you will be able to visit the hospital and meet your new brother or sister." Kup said.

"Okay Hot rod we got a bag packed for you." Kup said.

They dropped Hot rod off and his friend Spinout was staying too. The phone rang. "Hello?" Moonracer said. She handed the phone to Hot rod.

"Hi mommy, okay talk to you tomorrow." Hot rod said.

"Did she have the sparkling?" Spinout and Moonracer asked.

"No the doctor said it might be tomorrow." Hot rod said.

"These things sometimes take time." Moonracer said.

The next day. Hot rod was drawing a picture. The phone rang. "Hello yes Hot rod is here." Moonracer said handing it over.

"Hi," Hot rod said.

"Son you have a baby sister." Kup said.

"Really?" Hot rod said. "Can you and mommy come home now I really miss you." Hot rod said.

"Sorry son your mother needs more rest. But you can come to the hospital and see your new sister." Kup said.

"When?" Hot rod asked.

"How about now?" Kup said.

"Now?" Hot rod asked.

Moonracer took the phone. "I will take him there Kup don't you worry." Moonracer said.

At the hospital. They knocked on the room door. "Hey son, come in." Kup said.

Hot rod walked in. "Mommy!" Hot rod said running up to her.

"Hot rod, it is good to see you." She told him as she gave him a hug.

"Is that my sister?' Hot rod asked as he peered into the hospital crib.

"Yes." Kup said.

"What's her name?' Hot rod asked.

"We haven't decided yet." Tinside told him.

Hot rid tried to touch her but was nervous and pulled back. "You can touch her Hot rod just gently." Kup said.

Hot rod gently touched his sister's little hands. "Her armor is soft and warm." Hot rod said.

"Would you you like to hold her?" Kup asked.

"I don't know I never held a sparkling before." Hot rod panicked.

"Don't worry sit down and I'll get your sister." Kup told him as Hot rod sat down. "Just support her head and neck." Kup said putting her in Hot rod's arms.

"Look at me I'm holding a sparkling." Hot rod said.

Moonracer, Hannah and Side swipe came in. "Look how pretty she is." Side swipe said.

"Thanks." Hot rod said.

"You know your sister looks like you." Hannah said.

"What do you mean?" Hot rod asked.

"She has the same nose and chin." Hannah told him.

"Well we are not entirely alike for one this I am a boy Autobot and she is a girl Autobot. I'm like hot rod with my flames and she is like spitfire with her's aren't you a little spitfire!" Hot rod said.

"What did you say son?" Kup asked.

"I said she was a spitfire." Hot rod said.

"Did you hear that?" Kup asked.

"Yes it's perfect." Tinside said.

"What is?" Hot rod asked his parents.

"Spitfire we will name her Spitfire." Kup said.

"Hey I named my little sister!" Hot rod said.

"She is lucky to have you as brother." Moonracer said.

Spitfire fell asleep. "Look at that." Side swipe said.

"Yeah let's go Spitfire needs her sleep." Hannah said as they left.

"Okay son let's put Spitfire back in her crib." Kup said. Then Spitfire began to cry Hot rod began to rock her and she went back to sleep. "Look at that you made her stop crying, atta-boy son." Kup said then he placed Spitfire in the crib.

A couple of days later they were getting ready to bring Spitfire home. Hot rod began to introduce her to his friends.

A couple of weeks later. Hot rod walked up to Spinout. He told him about all the changes at the house and feeling unloved. Kup came over. "Son are you ready for our specail time together?" Kup asked.

"Really? Are you sure you have time?" Hot rod asked.

"Of course what's why you ask?" Kup asked.

"With new baby you been so busy with her I thought there wouldn't be one moment left for me." Hot rod said.

"Son love is not like that me and your mother have enough love for you and your sister." Kup said.

"Really?" Hot rod asked.

"Really," Kup said.

"I love you dad." Hot rod said.

"I love you son." Kup said.

Tinside came up with Spitfire. "Hi mom," Hot rod said. "Hello Spitfire." He growled. Spitfire laughed.

"Look you made her laugh." Tinside said.

"You know Spitfire for a sparkling you're pretty adorable. Maybe one day we can play hide and seek and maybe you will find me or hide actually." Hot rod said and Spitfire grabbed a piece of metal on his head.

"Look she loves her big brother." Tinside said.

"She does love." Hot rod said.

Soon Hot rod began to help with his little sister.
