Author's Note: This is a cross-post from Archive Of Our Own (AO3) and also more of a side project based off of my main story 'Transformers Animated: Ome, so it's best to read that first to understand the Oneshots.
This Chapter continues on from Miracle Sparkling.
Chapter summary: Omega creates a family bond with his daughter.
"Hello" Normal Talk.
"Hello" Talking through the bond.
"Hello" Com-link/Private Com-link.
"Hello" Thoughts.
Omega returned to his base almost in a daze when the reality of what he had agreed to set in, he looked down at the tiny Sparkling wrapped in the soft blue blanket recharging in his hand, could he take care of a Sparkling? Especially one this small? Should he have allowed Ultra Magnus and Alpha Trion to take her to the Youth Sectors? He shook the last thought from his processor, no, Ome didn't deserve to be at the Youth Sectors, but he couldn't deny that he felt that he may have bitten off more than he could chew. He gave a sigh and looked down at the recharging Sparkling again "Well Ome, let's get you settled" he murmured and walked to the first room on the left that was opposite his quarters, it was only a spare room since he hadn't had any idea what to put in it, but if he was going to be raising a Sparkling it would be her quarters. He walked inside the spare room before he took a small Sparkling crib out of his subspace, he carefully placed it in the corner of the room and knelt down, he looked down at the recharging Sparkling before he carefully lay her down in the crib, he used two of his fingers to tuck her in to make sure she was at least warm "rest well little one" he murmured before he got up, he was exhausted since Ome had been born late at night, but he was glad to have seen a Sparkling born after such a long time. He walked out of Ome's quarters and walked across the hallway to his own, he all but flopped onto his berth and gave a sigh "I'm too tired to think on this, I'll recharge on it and see what to do about Ome tomorrow" he thought to himself before he settled into recharge.
The next morning Omega was sat on the couch reading his datapad, it felt like a normal morning, but that was until he heard a tiny cry coming from the spare room. He looked up and for a moment was puzzled as to where the noise was coming from, but then he realised "Frag, Ome" he muttered and put his datapad down, he got up and walked quickly to Ome's quarters, he walked in and looked down in the crib.
Ome was crying as she squirmed a little in the blanket.
Omega had a blank look, was the blanket too tight round her? Was she hungry? Did she just want attention? Then it hit him "She has no bonds...she's feeling emptiness because she has no bonds" he thought, he knew all too well how that felt, he had no bonds with anyone either, he had wanted to create one with his Autobot Guardian siblings but none of them were allowed because of their duty, if they all offlined from a particular battle it could be too much for the surviving Autobot Guardian to feel eleven other bonds break, could he create one with Ome and be her Sire? He looked down at the crying Sparkling again, and he felt solidified in his decision, he would create a family bond with her and if anyone had an issue with that, they can go frag themselves for all he cared. He reached down and carefully picked Ome up in his large hand.
Ome sniffed and beeped, she looked up at the large mech, she blinked her crystal blue optics.
"It'll be alright my little one" Omega said softly as his chestplates and Spark Chamber opened, revealing his large icy blue Spark "I know what you need to feel much better"
Ome seemed to stare in awe at the big Spark as she was gently brought closer to it, almost like on instinct, her own tiny chestplates opened, revealing her tiny crystal blue Spark, she didn't even seem that surprised, more curious and excited.
Omega took a deep breath and gently brought Ome close enough to his Spark that he gave a gasp as he felt a bond begin to form between them, he was still mindful of her and wasn't too lost in the bond forming. After what felt like an eternity, but was really only thirty seconds, Omega gently moved his daughter away from his Spark, a family bond was now formed and he could feel her emotions, pure happiness. He closed his chestplates and looked down at his, now, daughter.
Ome's tiny chestplates closed and she looked up at her, now, Sire. She gave a happy chirp and managed a smile, feeling her Sire's warmth and happiness.
Omega couldn't help but smile and gently cuddled her in his hand, holding her close to his chest as he looked out the window, he had no doubts in his processor now, Ome was his daughter now and he was her Sire, he had made the best decision in his life.
