A couple of hours later, ShockBurst woke up and yawned widely, blinking as he stared around him.

"Did you have a good nap ShockBurst?", asked Prime

"Yes but is Baba here yet?, he said getting out of the berth and looking for Megatron .

"No, he won't want to come to the Autobot base," Optimus explained. "But we can go and meet him now if you like."

"Yes please." he said grab Primes hand and they walk to the spot. When he saw Megatron he ran to him and chirped "Baba your here."

"Of course I am," Megatron chuckled, scooping him up and hugging him. "Did you enjoy your nap?"

"Yes but I'm still scared he might not like me, he said.

"He wills, you're a very likable sparkling when you're not being naughty," Megatron teased.

"That's not cool. Um where is here?" said ShockBurst looking around.

"He's coming, he's been out on patrol most of the day," Optimus reassured him.

"So what will I call you now that I know who is my real Sire? And I don't want to get confused." ShockBurst smiled and said," will you be my uncle prime?" he ask.

"I will," Optimus chuckled as Megatron considered it.

"You can call me baba or dad if you want," he suggested.

ShockBurst jump in his Baba's arm saying," You will always be my Baba.

Do you think I will still be able come over? Do you think my uncles won't like me because I'm a real autobot. I don't want them to hate me.",he said panic again.

"They could never hurt you," he assured the young Sparkling. "They love you for who you are."

"Is coming he coming yet. I'm getting hungry." he whine rubbing his stomach plate." What does he look like? Does he cuss a lot? What alt mode does he have? Is he bigger than you uncle? What color is he? When is he coming?" questioned ShockBurst wanting time to go by faster.

"Whoa, slow down little one," Optimus laughed. "I can answer your questions if I get them one at a time."

"Sorry but I'm excited and a little scared. I just want to make sure he is not mean mech. Um how long Uncle?", he whine getting restless.

Megatron notice the sign and put him down so he could run around." How about you show us how the rockets I got you work." said Megatron.

"Can't, I got no energy to do so.", he said and look at his uncle and said," Do I still have to sit in timeout?"

"Not right now, maybe later," Optimus said softly before asking. "Do you need a cube to keep you going?"

"But timeouts are torture and yes please.", he said.

Megatron smiled at his son at his drunk the whole.

When sound of something coming that way. ShockBurst ran to his Baba because the noise had scared him." What's that Baba?" he asked.

"I think its Ironhide," Megatron guessed, looking in the direction of the sound. "He's a rather noisy driver."

ShockBurst started to move around a lot hoping his Baba got the sign"Baba?" he whine.

"Alright, I'll put you down," Megatron said, placing him on the ground so that ShockBurst wouldn't feel so fidgety.

The rumble grew louder and suddenly a large red, rusty vehicle came into the clearing, kicking up a lot of dust.

ShockBurst ran behind his uncle cough because of the dust.

"Are you okay ShockBurst ?",asked the coughing sparking.

"Yes just much dust and I'm covered in it.",

He whine stomping.

Megatron knew how ShockBurst hated to be dirty and said," it's okay you can have a

Bath when you go back with your sire."

Ironhide transformed."ah knock em dead they scratch my ride again. Hey Prime."

"Hello Ironhide," Optimus said warmly before saying. "There's someone here who'd like to meet you."

ShockBurst look at the bot and slowly wake to him. When he got close he

look at the bots colors. He had the red he had. And he could feel the bond sending him a comfort feeling." Hi ima ShockBurst. And I guess you are my sire.", he chirped.

Ironhide started, staring down at the small Seeker Sparkling.

"You're...your ma son?" he asked in astonishment.

ShockBurst had a confused look and was close to crying.l"Baba."

Megatron came forward and pick him up"shhs it okay shocker ."

"But he doesn't even know meh.", he cried .

You're...your SunBurst sparkling?" Ironhide gasped. "What are you doing with Megatron?"

"Yes this is SunBurst's sparkling. I have him because she couldn't fine you. She was... Offline. The last thing she told me to take care of him. So I did if you wonder why I have your son." said Megatron glaring at Ironhide.

"Why wasn't ah told?" Ironhide demanded hotly. "Why did she want yah tah take care of him?"

"Because you took off before she could tell you. and because Deathshock wasn't to happy when he found out the Shocker wasn't him. She gave him her boyfriends name so he would think it was his. I help her run away from her abusive boyfriend. He went crazy we he found out Shocker wasn't his. She was running on her last cycle. I agree to take him til I found his Sire. But we grew close. So that why you are barely seeing him.", Megatron explain holding the crying sparkling. ShockBurst was crying because he missed his mom.

Ironhide's shoulders slumped in shame as he stammered.

"A-ah didn't know."

"It's okay it not your fault.", said Megatron than he hold him arm length and said" Do you want to see your Sire."

ShockBurst nodded."yes please."

Megatron let him down and Ironhide opened his arms as ShockBurst ran into his real Sire's arms, still crying.

"He was scary Daddy and hits hard when I didn't mean to him mad.", he said crying." He hurt mommy bad. He would get mad when I didn't do things fast."

"Well, he won't do any more of that now," Ironhide promised. "If he comes anywhere near yah, ah'l slag him tah scrap."

"How yah get to cuss but Baba and Uncle spank me when I do?", he whine forget about why he was crying.

Ironhide smiled wryly.

"Mah Sire cussed all tha time so ah can't break tha habit but yer young enough tah. Ah'll try not tah cuss in front of yah, ah don't want yah copying meh."

"I knew there was a reason you cuss so much.", chuckled Megatron

"That's not funny. If you didn't want me cussing keep me from Thrush. He let me cuss all the time and gave me a treat when I learn a new word.", said ShockBurst guiltily .

"What!?" burst out all three adult mechs.

"Well," growled Megatron. "I'll be having a word with him about that.

"Don't hurt him Baba", begged shocker.

"I'm not going to hurt him," Megatron said impatiently. "But he is not going to get away with encouraging you to cuss, it's a bad habit ShockBurst and we're going to break you of it."

"I know. But what are you going to do to Uncle T?" he asked.

"Wash his mouth out with soap," Megatron said with an evil grin.

"That's not fair yah spank meh for tellin some tah ravage and wash mah mouth." he complain.

"He's a grown Mech," Megatron said with a shrugged. "I can give him brig time as well."

"But yah tanned Screamer we he tried tah to destroy yah again.", he whine.

"That's different," Megatron snorted. "Starscream is a brat who needed a good lesson."

"Thats bullpits.", he growled .

"Don't you cuss at me," Megatron said sternly. "Just accept that fact that you are a Sparkling and he's a Mech and therefore you are punished differently. I don't care if you think it's unfair, that's how things work."

"Shut up Fragger", he growled at Megatron glaring at him.

"One more word and you're getting another spanking," Megatron warned him.

ShockBurst look at up at Ironhide and whined."Dad?"

"He's right son, yer pushing it," Ironhide told him.

"Buts it not fair. Screamer is an adult and he got it. He just saying he an adult but he doesn't know what Uncle T does behind his back. There's a reason Baba almost got suck into a black hole .and if he just say the world black hole by him and he will make an excuse to leave the room. Watch Baba try it. Please.", he said.

"ShockBurst, this is not up for negotiation or Sparkling logic," growled Megatron. "Just accept it."

"But can yah just try it. Ah already got it. But it's funny to see him freak .", begged shocker.

"Shocker, Ah don't want tah cause trouble since he did look after yah," Ironhide said gently.

"It's not trouble and Ah just wanna say hi.", he said

"Hmm," Ironhide said thoughtfully, looking at Optimus. "What do yah think Prime?"

"It would be up to Megatron.", he said looking at Megatron .

"If he will stop whining about Thrust's punishment," Megatorn huffed.

"I already said I don't care. Okay sorry for my tone.", he said respectfully "please Baba?"

"Alright, go on," Ironhide said.

He walk over to Megatron and waited for him to call Thrust.

"Hello", said thrust

"Hi uncle T", said Shocker.

"What's up kid?" Thrust asked.

"Just wanna tell yah Ah be living with my sire now but don't worry ah get to visit. Oh and ah didn't tell Baba about the black hole prank.", he said

"Black hole prank?" Thrust repeated, shuddering.

"Yah remember. The one Screamer got it good from Baba.", he said

"Yeah, I remember," he said nervously.

ShockBurst move to the side so he could see Megatron . "Um hi sir.", he said nervous .

"Well?" Megatron demanded.

Thrust couldn't say anything and said"Shocker you snitched. "

"Ah rather snitched than get it from Baba with mah plate off.", said shocker defensibly.

"Why do you sound like that Slagger Ironhide.", he ask.

"Hey, that's my Sire your talking about," he said hotly.

"Yeah right. I don't it would or be jazz or Prowl. But you better watch out he it strict.", he said

"But the subject is not on using meh to get out of talkin to Baba.", he said with a grin.

"And you're not?" Thrust shot back.

"Ah'm not in trouble. Yer are! And he knows yah taught meh how to cuss too.", shocker said.

"You told him that too," groaned Thrust. "Aww, why did yah have to do that?"

"Because ah don't like getting spank.". Shocker whine.

"You didn't need to tell him that," Thrust said in exasperation.

"It's not mah fault. Ah just a sparkling. Ah'm know to blurt everything bots tell me.", he growled at Thrust remember was he said behind his back.

Thrust grumbled, not liking this at all.

"Ok times up. Thrust I will talk to you when I get back.", he said getting a nod before he hung up.

"Baba I was still talking.", he whine stomping.

"Your lucky I let you talk to him," Megatron said sternly.

ShockBurst didn't say nothing and just hug Megatron tightly and said" I love you Baba. I'll remember to call you."

"You'd better," Megatron said mock stern before hugging him back. "I love you son."

"I will.", he said hugging him again and said to Ironhide." Do we have to go now Dad?"

"It's getting late," Ironhide said. "Ah think we should go home soon."

"Okay bye Baba. Ah'll call you tomorrow.", he said giving him one hug. Than ran to Ironhide."bye Baba."

"Goodbye," Megatron said with a sad smile before saying to Optimus. "I'll bring Valour back tomorrow, alright?"

"You can have him for week. I want you to

bond with him. He needs to get to know his Baba."But have him call me tomorrow."

Ironhide pick ShockBurst up and said,"Say bye Shocker."

"Bye baba.", said Shock getting sleepy.

Ironhide smiled down proudly at his son, resting him against this shoulder. Megatron looked surprised but very pleased by Optimus's decision.

The autobots heading back to base."ok Shock let git yah a bath.", said Ironhide .

Carrying him to the wash room.

"No bath , 'anna sleep.", he whine

"It'll just be a quick wash," Ironhide assured him.

"No just anna sleep.", he whine.

"How about ah wipe a damp cloth over yah quickly?" Ironhide suggested.

"No tried.", he said pushing at his sire.

"Alright, alright," Ironhide said, thinking he could maybe wipe ShockBurst down once he was asleep. "ah'll put yah tah bed."
