Kudos to; raxii For adding this story to their favorites!
Retrokill: Thanks and I didn't mean to. :) I hope you like this chapter...I'm slowly using your list of pranks...a further explanation of the end will appear in the next chapter.
Fandom Jumping Expert: Hahaha! Thanks! What can I say? They're the twins kids and I'm sure we've all read fics of the twins trying to escape Hide and Ratchet! As for Prime, in his defense who would expect two sparklings riding two identical mini ravages? That is until he recognized that they look pretty different from ravage and who they belonged to. I hope you like this chapter! I will try to keep up the good work.
TFSTARFIRE: Yeah...they definitely get their mischief from the twins. Fun fact, my mother actually would call my grandmother every morning as I would do as the sparklings did in greeting the flowers. Hope you like this chapter!
GuardianGirl24: Glad you think so! I hope you like this chapter!
techna13: For who? Tia or Hide cause I'm trying to balance the number of mechs and femmes...then again who needs balance? Let me know! I hope you like the chapter!
Guest: Perhaps. I will add it to the poll as a choice. I hope you like this chapter!

2 a.m.
N.P.F.M: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! AEH! AEH! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Bella: "Your. Turn. I had them last night."
(Sigh) The joys of fatherhood. Two in the morning and they want to be comforted. I don't understand sometimes how they can cry so loudly. Nightsinger was standing in her crib, as were her siblings. Poor things, look frightened.
Me: "Awww, c'mere you. Daddy's here. We're here."
Sunny: "What's wrong? You miss us too much?"
Night: "Chiirp."
She murmured as she cuddled into my armor. I nuzzled the top of her helm to comfort her, something of which I love to do because it makes them feel better, and it shows how much I love them. I continued to nuzzle Nightsinger and Freezefire as Sunny snuggled Maverick and Pulse close. After a few minutes our quartet began to grow weary again, to help them along we gave them their pacifiers and rubbed their backs in a soothing manner. Not soon after we began doing that did they slip into recharge. Today was going to be a long day. Bella had two meetings this morning with secretary Keller, followed by patrol and then training, where she would try and teach the femmes of both sides proper sword use and self defence. So this meant that Sunny and I would have them all day.
Sunny: "Hey Sides?"
Me: "Yeah?"
Sunny: "You wanna make today the day we teach them about pranks?"
Me: "That's a great idea! I think we should set one up now."
Sunny: "Alarm clock prank?"
Me: "You know it. I think it's time we got Kyler back."
Sunny: "Great idea."
He said as he went into our secret panel. We had to move our prank cache somewhere when we moved to the island, and again when we were renovating for the sparklings. So we made sure that it was well hidden except from Bella. She was the only one who knew where it was. We even made sure to put it up somewhere high so that the sparklings couldn't reach it.
After we retrieved the clocks and some other gear, we silently made our way out of our quarters to those of the humans. Kyler's bed was easy enough to find. Aparently he was the head of his unit. Heh, he told Bella when he first got here that he'd done mediocre in his trials, wonder if she knows the truth?"
[Me: "Ready bro?"]
[Sunny: "Operation payback is a go."]
He said as he got to work setting up several cameras in the room while I set each clock to ring exactly three minutes after the one before it went off. After I did this, I carefully placed them around my brother-in-law's bed as well as under it and under those next to his. Finally I replaced his alarm clock with one that Sunny and I had bought from ebay a long while ago. It would roll off the table and drive around the room if you hit snooze. This would be the last to go off. Behind that one, I set up a different alarm clock that would release a miniature propeller that squealed like a siren when snoozed more than once. This would be the first to go off at...what time is it now? 2:30? 2:35 sounds good to me. I grabbed my twin and we snuck back out of the room and back to our own. Once we got there we checked to make sure that the cameras were recording before we slipped back into recharge.
Third person's pov
As soon as the frontliners helms hit the pillow the were out cold. Meanwhile in another part of base, the same could not be said for their brother-in-law. He was awoken by his alarm by about two and a half hours too early. He quickly snoozed it unaware that in a few moments...
BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!
Kyler: "Damn it!"
He cursed slamming his hand down on the alarm, only for it to release a rotor that began to fly about the room wailing. Kyler scrambled out of bed and chased it, catching it easily. He placed it back where it once was and made sure that the clock was off before he laid his head back down on his pillow, only for...
BRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!
Kyler: "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!"
He screamed as he and the soldiers got up to see what was causing the noise. They soon found that it was a series of clocks around Kyler's bed. With several grumbles and curses each soldier took a clock and removed the batteries.
Michael: "Seriously?! Your brother-in-laws are serious dicks for doing this! Don't they value sleep?!"
He whined as he laid back down. Unfortunately for them, the twins had hidden a few more clocks in their quarters, as well as set up a few holograms with pre set recordings of sirens, that were to go off right about...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kyler: "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!"
He screamed slash moaned as he and several others went in search of the new noise. He silently vowed that he would get revenge as he spent the remaining two and a half hours meant for sleep, searching and chasing alarm clocks. It was five a.m by the time the nonsense stopped and the soldiers grudgingly began to get ready for work, equally as tired and as angry and as bloodthirsty as their unit leader as they were at him. Kyler slumped out of his quarters and into the main hallways when his sister who had a meeting from hell to attend caught sight of him, still bleary from having woken up herself.
Bella: "(Yawn) Mornin'."
Kyler: "(Yawn)Your husbands are gonna die. And I'm gonna be the one ta kill 'em!"
That woke her up. She took another look at him, quickly observing his bad attitude, poor posture and the large numerous dark circles under his hazel eyes. She chuckled as she shook her helm almost ruefully.
Bella: "I tried to tell you. You have gotten yourself into a cornucopia of never ending revenge. It's quite disturbing really. So lemme guess...alarm clock prank?"
Kyler: "YOU FUCKING KNEW?!"
Bella: "Not necessarily. They have a master list of pranks. Of which I've seen once or twice. It's all digital too. So certain allies other than yourself wouldn't be able to see and take them for themselves. Again I tried to warn you, and fyi I'm neutral in this, so long as you, they and the sparklings don't get hurt, I'm not in it. Hope you feel better soon. Luv you!"
She called as she sprinted to her meeting that would begin in a few moments.
Sunstreaker's pov
Me: "Good morning Bitlets!"
N.P.F.M: "Warble! Daddy!"
Sides and I have the sparklings for the whole day, and we decided to show them how pranks work, but first we have to get them ready, which means dusting and putting ribbons in our daughter's hair. We also had to make a small alteration to our alts.
Me: "Hey Maverick. How'd you sleep?"
Maverick: "Good."
Me: "Good, okay hold still while I dust you okay?"
Maverick: "Tay."
Surprisingly he didn't squirm when I dust him this morning, which made our tasks go a lot faster. As soon as we were done we carried them to the rec room for breakfast. After a few bottles we were ready to show them what a prank looked like.
Me: "Alright, you guys wanna learn how to prank?"
Our sparklings looked at us with a mixed look of joy and confusion.
Sides: "Heh. To explain, a prank is something you do to people to make yourself or others laugh, but it's only funny if no one gets hurt. Okay?"
N.P.F.M: "Kay, wanna see!"
Me: "Well you're lucky that we set one up this morning! Here we'll watch it and then we'll pull one together. Okay?"
I said as my brother turned on the tv to show our recorded prank from this morning. The sparklings giggled as Kyler ran around the room cursing and grumbling, and they nearly fell over laughing when they saw the other soldiers do the same thing. After a few minutes in we stopped the video and looked to them, we were all sharing the same grin.
Sides: "Okay, well now do you four wanna help us prank someone else?"
They each nodded their heads in excitement. I cant help but smile. Our kids will be great pranksters when they get bigger. And they're so enthusiastic about it too.
Me: "Okay, we're going to prank Ratchet, but you guys need to be really really quiet. Alright?"
I said as I picked up Maverick and Pulse and strode out the door. We knew ahead of time that Ratchet would be out, he was a part of the meeting that Bella was at, albeit a small part. So we had to move fast. I set the two down and grabbed a bottle of Ratchet's strongest glue and began to take some of his tools and glue them to the ceiling. Pulse was very helpful, he went straight to Ratchet's office and grabbed more for me to glue. Maverick went about exploring, climbing into a few cabinets and knocking stuff over. Freezefire and Sides were keeping watch, while Nightsinger was pouring glue and other solvents all over the place. I'm so proud.
Sides: "I think he's coming! Alright guys time to go!"
He said as he grabbed Freezefire and Nightsinger. I grabbed Pulse and Maverick and ran out the door just before Ratchet rounded the corner. We all headed back to the rec room to find Kyler asleep on the couch. He wasn't alone, several soldiers were unconscious and lying on other couches. I held my finger up to my mouth telling my sparklings to be quiet. Sides and I transformed down into our alts, and crept up on them. Best prank in the world in three...two...one...
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!
"AHH!"
It's days like this when I truly thank youtube. Train horns, not just for trains and they are plenty of fun to use.
Maverick: "Choo choo!"
Sides: "Very good!"
Kyler: "WHAT THE HELL?!"
Ratchet: "Indeed. WHY THE FRAG AM I GLUED TO MY CHAIR?! AND WHO MADE A MESS IN MY MEDBAY?!"
All four of our sparklings fell over in a fit of giggles, even Sides and I couldn't help but laugh at everything that went on. Ratchet was somehow glued to his chair, and he had a jar glued to his wrist.
Sides: "You know Ratch, Bella won't be happy to hear that you swore in front of the bitlets."
Ratchet: "And she would be even less pleased to hear that you two glued me to my chair causing me to reformat you into toasters!"
Nightsinger: "Daddies no do! Me!"
We were all shocked. She just gave herself up, and to save us. How sweet.
Ratchet: "You did this?"
Nightsinger: "Yes!"
She said proudly. Well at least I know that we're not raising a liar.
Ratchet: "Am I right to assume that the rest of you helped mess up my Medbay?"
P.F.M: "Yes."
Ratchet vented a sigh. This is the calmest I've ever seen him. That is really really bad for our future health.
Ratchet: "Why?"
Maverick: "Daddies said it was a pwank and that it would be funny."
Pulse: "It is funny! Watchet looks silly!"
He said with a giggle. Aaaaaand note to self; make sure to tell the quads about not revealing that they were the prankster in future pranks.
Ratchet: "Did they also tell you that messing up my Medbay was naughty?"
Night: "No?"
Ratchet: "Too bad, I suppose I shouldn't punish you too much."
He said as he walked over to her and began to tickle her madly. She squealed out in laughter and tried to scramble away, only for him to hold her firmly in place. Somehow with a jar and a chair glued to him.
Ratchet: "You see, naughty sparklings who mess up my Medbay get tickled into stasis...unless they say sorry. Big bots get a wrench to the helm."
Nightsinger: "EEEEEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE! I AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I SOWY! SOWY! SOOOWEEEEE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
Ratchet: "Alright then. Pulse..."
Pulse: "SOWY! I help you fix?"
Maverick: "Me too!"
Freezefire: "I help!"
Nightsinger: "I and daddies help. No want them to get owies."
I sighed. I have to hand it to them, they're far nicer than we are in terms of clean up. But did they have to volunteer us?
Ratchet: "That would be very nice. And it would give me a chance to see how your transforming sequence works. Come along."
He called as we all left for the Medbay.
Later that afternoon
Arabella's pov
It was a long day. To say the least. Long meetings a very dull patrol. Now for training, oh joy. Dont get me wrong I love my job, but sometimes I'd like to just hang out with my kids. Oh, speak of the devil here comes one now.
Me: "Pulse what are you doing? Shouldn't you be with daddies?"
Pulse: "Want mommy."
He said as he cuddled into my armor. I suppose he could sit in today. Nothing too crazy should happen.
Tia: "(Sniffle) Hi coach."
Ah, I spoke too soon.
Me: "Tia, whats wrong?"
Sarah: "Hey girls! Mind if we...Tia, are you alright?"
Tia: "No..."
She whimpered as the rest of our class came into the training room. Ho boy.
Elita: "Tianna are you alright?"
Chromia: "Are you in pain?"
Me: "No, she's freaked out."
Mikaela: "What about?"
Tia took off her visor to show her nearly lime green optics. A few people gasped while some of the more experienced soldiers smiled brightly. They knew what inverted colored optics ment. I had to smile, she's freaked out over becoming a mom.
Me: "I knew it! This is-"
Tia: "Horrible! I'm not ready to be a mom! Jolt and I haven't even really talked about sparklings! I'm too young!"
Moonracer: "Nonsense. The youngest Praxian to get their cycle was 15,843 years old. And he pursued his mate for an entire earth year before she gave up."
Tia: "But isn't there a cure or can't you knock me out until it passes?"
Me: "Shouldn't Jolt know by now?"
Tia: "I haven't told him. We...he...I haven't showed him my optics, since it started, but you're right. I've displayed most of the symptoms.I mean he followed me around when that whole scent thing happened. So did Hound and Blurr. Much to Jolt's unhappiness"
Me: "That explains why they wound up in the brig for a week."
Jolt had nearly smashed Hound and Blurr's helms in with his hammer collection. It was kinda scary, not gonna lie.
Moonracer: "There is nothing that can keep this from happening. The goal of the cycle is to get sparked. Like it or not you will be a mom."
Pulse reached out for Tia, he looked very concerned. She took him from me and cuddled him close, he in turn patted her arm in an attempt to soothe her. He's my sweet little mech, always concerned for the well being of others. All my sparklings are like that, but if Pulse sees or deems you stressed out about health, he'll try to calm you down. He's pretty good at it too, Tia's stopped crying.
Tia: "I'm excited for moments like this but, I'm scared. What if something goes wrong?"
Me: "Thats half the fun of being a mom. You weren't there for the first time when the quads decided to projectile purge onto the twins, or for the still many sleepless nights. But really they are plenty of fun to have. As many have said, there is no right way to raise a child. Things will go wrong, it all depends on how you handle them."
Sarah: "Amen! Heck Belle is 8 years old and there's still somethings that Will and I run into that we're not prepared for."
Mikaela: "If it makes you feel any better, I know where you're coming from."
Me: "No. Way. You're?!"
Mikaela: "Four months!"
Moonracer: "Indeed you are. How did you hide this from us, and how did you learn?"
Mikaela: "One missed period, 27 pee covered sticks in Sarah's bathroom, and the base's medic, who I made swear not to tell anyone, Sam included. I'm worried about how he'll feel."
Tia: "So we both have a confession to make. I'm pretty sure that mine will be made whether I like it or not in the next twenty four hours."
Moonracer: "Less actually. 12 to be precise."
Chromia: "We're here for you, and I'm sure the others are too. So how are you going to break the news?"
Me: "Might I make a suggestion?"
Four hours later
Third person's pov
It was evening time on base, and the sparklings had been put to bed early. All of the male members of nest were told to meet in the main hanger. Autobots included. What they found was quite surprising. The room was dimmed in light and there were several scantily clad women walking around mixing and offering drinks. At the back of the hanger was a large stage. Everyone took their seats and thankfully took their drinks, as Moonracer took the stage in her holoform.
Moonracer: "Good evening gentle men. Welcome to the first women of N.E.S.T burlesque show. Do not be alarmed, no one will tell your mates that you were here. Tonight we will divulge to you some new important information, but first we must entertain you. Dont worry it'll all be tasteful. Our first dancer is well known on base and she's very good at what she does. She's proven time and time again why she's the best femme spy we have. It's my pleasure to introduce you to Tianna Marquez."
The lights flashed as Tia began to croon from atop the holoform E she was sitting on. She had chosen to sing and dance to "Show me how you Burlesque". The crowed roared with approval of her dance, Jolt included. At the end of the song, she ripped off her pretender mode's sunglasses revealing her near completely lime eyes. Jolt's eyes grew wide in slight excitement and fear when he realised what it meant.
Moonracer: "Well, as you can see some of the new info has been released. Jolt I offer my congratulations and my wish for luck. You have 8 hours at most to prepare."
The soldiers cheered him on, while he blushed violently. In the background you could hear his cooling fans kick into high gear.
Moonracer: "All right. Our next act is a trio. These femmes have been together for the longest time, I would know I've been with them for most of it. Not only that but they have created a reputation for striking fear into our enemies while also leading a successful resistance. I present to you Arcee, Chromia, and Elita-1."
The three came onto the stage modestly dressed in similar costumes, that looked similar to those used by the uso girls. The three sang and danced better than their mates had thought possible, Ironhide was grinning so big that many thought that his face was going to split in two. Optimus smiled gently at his mate as she danced crooning "Candy Man". After they left the stage Moonracer came back on, with a different outfit.
Moonracer: "Well never thought that'd I'd see them dance like that. Our next act is very well known, as a matter of fact, she was the one who helped pull this all together for Tia. She was and is a professional dance teacher, and she is also a very proud mommy. I give you Arabella Brinks."
Bella: "Where have I been all my life? The dress is channel..."
She began, making the soldiers pay attention to her. She made full use of their attention, as other femmes from her team joined her on stage for her dance. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe watched her closely grinning like they had won the lottery. They hadn't seen her move like this before. And they were loving every minute of it. This was just as fascinating as when they saw her naked during their first game of capture the flag.
Bella: "I'm a good giiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrllllllllll!"
She warbled as she finished her performance. She then proceeded to introduce the last one. It was Moonracer and a few of the human allies, dancing to "All that Jazz". For the sake of secrecy the allies wore masks. The girl's dance was quite tasteful, they only removed a single article of clothing, and the chorus line was spectacular. Everyone watched the jazz number thuroughly enjoying it, as each woman (save for Moonracer) found a man to kiss at one point. Those men being Major Lennox, Epps, Sam, and Kyler. The four simply grinned at the dancers, three figuring out that it was their wives. Poor Kyler didn't know who kissed him, and Christine would be far too shy to tell him. Hence why she wore a mask. Christine was actually the head dancer, and she was somewhat decent at it too. When all was said and done, Moonracer gave the mic over to Mikaela who sheepishly accepted it.
Mikaela: "Hi..so uhh, that other important piece of info is well...um...I'm four months pregnant!"
The room roared with cheers from soldiers and bots alike as Sam rushed up to her and swung her around in a hug, clearly ecstatic with the news. While the room congratulated the two Arabella stole the twins away. She had slightly ulterior motives for the night. She made sure that the sparklings would be taken care of for the night, so she could take care of her mechs.
Bella: "You two realize we never had a honeymoon, and never really consummated our bond right?"
S.S: "Uhh...well that-"
Bella: "Shhhhh, the sparklings are taken care of, and I need you, both of you. None of us will be able to walk straight tomorrow morning, come on."
She hissed to them as they followed her out of the hanger happily.
Next day
Third person's pov
It was the wee hours of the morning on base, as the two frontliners stumbled into the rec room smiling dreamily. Jolt had been in there for a few breems pacing nearly wearing a groove into the floor when they came in. Making him stop momentarily.
Sides: "Jolt, you okay?"
Jolt: "No, I'm not okay, I'm freaking out! I am not ready, nor do I think is Tia to become a family unit."
Sunny: "Sure you are. You have no choice."
Jolt: "But what if something goes wrong?!"
Sides: "Define wrong; you will be chased by the one you love more than anything, get fragged like there's no tomorrow and end up with an adorable, cuddly sparkling."
Jolt paused to take this in, making Sunstreaker roll his optics.
Sunny: "Seriously? Sides and I had to deal with the exact same thing as you are right now. Calm the pit down."
Jolt: "No. No you didn't. There were two of you to chase after. That was a totally different story! There's only one of me!"
Sides: "Okay, well my advice to you is to suck it up and enjoy it. We had to, and we're here for you. We won't hide you but we'll help as much as we can with everything that happens after."
Sunny: "Now if you'll excuse us, we need to get some energon and grab our kids. Bella has practice outside today and they want to watch."
They said making a few cubes for themselves and a few bottles for their sparklings before the head out. They happened to notice the Chevy twins snickering about something when they approached their room so naturally they entered with caution. Finding nothing wrong, they greeted their sparklings and proceed to feed them. After a few minutes they left their quarters and walked to the tarmac only to find a crowed of whistling and howling bots and men. They looked to where the men were staring and saw their sparkmate with a seductive smirk on her face, wearing her battle regalia, and she was doing a rather provocative-
Kyler: "I didn't know she could pole dance."
Sides: "Neither did we, at least not like that."
He said turning his sparklings away so they couldn't see what their mother was doing.
Sunny: "There's something wrong, she sending distress over the bond. You don't think-"
Chromia: "GET YOUR AFTS BACK HERE!"
She screamed as she chased Skids and Mudflap out of the main hanger. She had been repainted chrome, green and yellow and was wearing a skirt and bow. And she looked pissed as did the crowd of femmes following her. Like clockwork she froze next to Bella as did the other femmes. They began to dance provocatively to the song Bang Bang as a hologram popped up over them declaring; "All femme twerk team." Everyone's jaws dropped as they began to "ahem" perform the aforementioned dance move, accidentally shaking off pieces of their armor. The worst of it though came at the end of the song. With the exception of Bella, the femmes were scantily clad at worst. Bella unfortunately had lost all but a crow bar sized strip of armor, across her chest and interface parts.
Bella: "Excuse me."
She squeaked as she grabbed her fallen armor and ran off sobbing. The femmes followed suit, chasing after her.
The amount of rage coursing through Sunny, Sides, Ironhide and Kyler was unfathomable. Quite a few mechs were angry, but none more so than them. Even Jolt who was being chased by Tia smacked the Chevy twins in the back of their helms as they sprinted by.
S.S: "Bluestreak hold them please."
They hissed as they forcefully handed the sniper their very confused sparklings. Needless to say that they, with help from Ironhide and Kyler, beat the living slag out of the Chevy twins and wound up in the brig because of it.
A/N: Me: "Happy?"
S.S: "Yes...it was worth three days in the brig."
Sideswipe: "And might I say, nice touch with the burlesque show...I like your definition of action."
Sunstreaker: "As do I."
Me: "Good. Gotta go Prowl is coming!"
S.S: "See ya in three days!"
