Hello everyone! I have though of a new story! I hope this one you'll enjoy as well.
Don't forget to R&R!
Hotshot walked to his chambers slowly, he was tired and needed a good recharge. It was one o'clock in the morning. All the humans were asleep and the energon shield was fully operational now. Hotshot stifled a yawn as he approached the door to his room.
There was a squeak-like sound.
He stopped.
There was silence, he shook his head, the tiredness was getting to him.
Stopping in front of the door, there was a mechanical giggle. He looked down to his feet.
There was a small bundle of blankets moving. He froze.
Another giggle, this time, a small grey hand emerged from between the cotton.
Hotshot was dumbfounded.
There was a transformer baby outside of his door.
Kneeling down he picked up the fragile body. He pulled back a few sheets and examined the curious face staring back at him. Its optics were a golden sheen, and its face was a pale white.
"Ok, calm down Hotshot." He had absolutely no idea whether it was a female or male.
How in the world would he figure this one out? Optimus, he should know more about babies than anyone! He is the oldest.
Picking up a speed walk he headed for the command centre, he didn't slow down until he stumbled and almost fell flat on his face. Looking back down to the bundle in his arms, its optics were narrower and dimmer too. Good, it's falling asleep.
Hotshot was more awake now than ever, what in the world are the Autobots going to do with an abandoned child?
Hotshot neared the command centre, he knew Optimus was having a talk with Viper with the mistake she did. Two days ago, a sensor in one of the energon towers died. She had to fly someone up there to fix it. Well she did that, but from what Optimus had gathered from the Omnicon, Viper had almost taken out the entire tower by trying to destroy a few terrocons that had moved in while the grid was down. Had the omnicon not repaired it in time, the tower would have gone right offline and would have to get a full repair.
She knew quite well her mission was to assist in the repairing of the tower; everyone else could have dealt with the terrorcons. Since then she has been avoiding Optimus and everyone else in fear of getting punished, though hiding only made it worse.
It didn't take too long to find her, she was found in the janitor's closet in stasis lock from lack of energon.
Sometimes Viper could be so daft.
Twin doors slid open, allowing passage into the command centre. He heard Optimus' stern voice
"Viper, I don't know what I'm going to do with you for this mess."
"Optimus?" Hotshot appeared
"What?" he was growing impatient which is quite surprising for such a normally, calm leader.
"I've got a problem."
Optimus sighed, he wasn't sure if he wanted to hear it "I take it has something to do with those blankets in your arms." Optimus never even clued in.
"well, yeah." Hotshot approached "I found this outside my door."
He put the bundle in Optimus' arms; he pulled back the material and nearly dropped the baby.
"What is it?" Viper slowly approached
"You said this was just outside your door?"
"Yeah, there was no note or anything; I'm guessing it was just abandoned."
Viper came to Optimus' side and looked down, she squealed quietly, in fear of waking it up
"Ooooh it's so cute!" She jumped and grinned
"I was hoping one of you could figure out what it is, you know, gender." Hotshot crossed his arms, watching the baby yawn. Optimus thought for a moment
"I'm not so sure, I was never able to figure those things out, only until they start to, well mature, then I can figure things out."
Viper huffed "Men!" she took the baby from Optimus' arms and unwrapped the blanket from the child "It's a girl." The baby slowly woke up as she put the blankets around it again
"How in the world did you know that?" Hotshot looked to her
"Even when transformers are babies, they're bodies differ from male and female. Females have a, well not necessarily a thinner body, but straight on, males have bigger torsos, the rest of their body a bit smaller. One reason why males don't have babies 'cause you can't even figure out what gender it is!" She smirked; she knew the two were thinking several other reasons as to why men don't have babies.
"Well then, since you seem to know so much, you can take care of the baby."
Viper froze "Me?"
"Yes you." Optimus crossed his arms
"Well the baby's cute n' all but I have to go on missions, and write reports."
"You'll be suspended from doing any missions for awhile." Optimus said sternly
Viper sighed and returned her gaze to the young child "well either way, I can't totally take care of the baby. You guys are going to have to help me," she paused "if the baby is to survive."
Hotshot was going to protest but Optimus stopped him
"Fine, but when we're gone, your on your own. Everything settled now?"
"Yes sir." Viper would have saluted but her hands were kind of full.
Viper walked into her room, the baby squealed as she set it down on her desk, she looked around, if only there was a softer place to set it, she'll have to go shopping for a baby bed or something, transformer size. Stretching, she decided she wouldn't transform into her dragon form for awhile, it might scare the child.
She set up the recharge bed and turned to the baby. It dawned on her, babies don't have recharge beds, they drink liquefied energon. She sighed; this is all going to be so stressful, at least the baby was in better hands than the guys, no offence to them.
The child was cold, Viper hesitated, how is she going to keep this child warmer? She picked up the child and laid down on the recharge table, resting on her side, Viper set the baby beside her. The baby in return tried to nuzzle up, but was confronted by a cold chest plate. The baby began to cry
"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Viper sighed; she got up off the table as the baby wailed.
"Shh, shhh, I'll be back hold on." She wrote a message and stuck it on the outside of her door. Then she returned to the bed, slipping off her chest plate, she felt strange. Again she laid down on the recharge bed the baby fell silent as Viper pulled it up against herself.
"Don't get any ideas."
'Thankfully, its not needing energon', thought viper 'cause I have nothing for it.'
It was nine in the morning and the rest of the team had heard of the child, they wanted to see it. Gathering outside her door, they read the note left there from earlier.
'Do not disturb, otherwise I'll pummel you to death and steal your energon to feed the baby.'
"She should be awake now," Ironhide looked to Inferno
"I don't know, maybe it's not such a good idea, she would have taken the note off if she didn't mind us coming in." Jetfire crossed his arms
"I haven't seen a transformer baby in ages." Inferno pointed out.
All of them were excited, they wanted to see the young one but were hesitant with Viper's note.
"Let's just go in quietly." Ironhide suggested
"You can go in first then." Inferno smirked
"Yeah we'll be in after you give the ok." Jetfire chuckled
"Fine." The door slid open and Viper looked up from the baby, she couldn't help but scream. She fell off the side of the bed and landed on the other side.
"Get out!!" she thundered as she poked her head over the bed, thankfully the baby didn't even cry.
Ironhide yelped as objects were chucked at him, he ran out and the door shut behind him.
Inferno and Jetfire were laughing hysterically, Hotshot had arrived when Ironhide went in, he too laughed.
Ironhide huffed "I'm not doin' that again."
Inside the room, Viper had just woke up minutes before Ironhide entered, and now she replaced her chest plate. She sighed and looked to the baby; it giggled and reached out to her.
"You hold on ok? I'm going to go yell at our good friend Ironhide." She smiled and went to the door, it slid open and she looked dangerously at the four gathered. The door slid shut behind her
"You." She growled as she pointed to Ironhide
"you do know you can't breast feed Viper." Ironhide pointed out
"I know that dork! I had to keep the child warm!" she snarled
the others shifted uneasily, she shook her head
"come on in." she tore the note down as the door slid open again. The baby was kicking and was starting to whine.
"Careful, careful, it's just a baby." They crowded around the bed and watched the baby. It too watched, curious as to who these transformers were.
"I'm kinda stumped though." Viper leaned on the bed and watched the child "I was trying to think of a name, but I don't even know what she can transform into."
"When can she transform?" Inferno asked as the little baby played with his finger
"I don't know, maybe..." Viper thought for a moment "maybe a year or so?"
"Well let's name her off her colour." Hotshot suggested
"I don't know." Viper contemplated over possible names
"How about... Whiteshiver?" Jetfire piped up
"Whiteshiver?" everyone else said in unison
"Yeah, she's a pale white, and she's kinda cold to the touch."
Viper thought about it "I like it."
"Me too." Ironhide agreed
"Well it's different, I like it." Inferno smiled
"Alright, Whiteshiver it is, unless we can think of a better name."
Optimus knocked on the door
"Come on in."
He walked in, "how's the baby?"
"Whiteshiver is fine."
"That's her name?"
Viper nodded as Optimus joined everyone else at the bed. The child spotted Optimus and giggled. Viper smirked "you should take care of her Optimus; you'd be a good father."
Optimus was smiling under his face plate as he carefully picked up Whiteshiver.
Viper looked at the time "oh gotta go! Time to buy stuff for her." Optimus gave her the child
"Take good care of her Viper. The rest of us have to stop by Cybertron, we'll be there for a few days."
Viper paused "A few days?"
"Yes," Optimus continued "you will be alright on your own will you not?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine." She walked out of the room with Whiteshiver cradled in her arms,
leaving the others behind
will I be fine on my own? Well, Arcee is around somewhere, she can help
Alright, there is chapter one, I thought it was a cute idea so decided, "heck, it should be a story." so I made it into a story, woot ok
R&R!!!
BTW, if you all could think of a better name for a white transformer with golden optics, give me suggestions! We won't find out what she transforms into until another five chapters or so.
