Optimus Prime was in the control room when he looked over and saw Ratchet coming over to him.
"You wanted to speak to me about Deckerd?" He asked as soon as Ratchet came close enough.
"Yes, do you remember what the humans had said about him?" Ratchet said.
"I believe they had said that he had a Super A.I chip instead of a spark, why?" Optimus replied while nodding. Ratchet then walked over to the main computer and inserted a disc. Soon a picture of Deckerd came unto the screen.
"While I was looking over his systems I could not find his Super A.I chip." Ratchet said. "Instead I found this." He added as he zoomed in on Deckerd's chest.
"Are you saying that the A.I chip…" Optimus started to say, but Ratchet cut him off.
"….Shattered and formed a spark." Ratchet said pointing to the spark on the screen. Optimus's optics widened.
"That would mean he is perfectly capable of a spark bond." He said some what relieved.
"If that is what you were worried about when you asked me to look him over, then you can put your mind at ease, for he is capable of both spark bond, and reproduction."
Optimus arched an optic ridge.
"Reproduction?" He asked cautiously.
"Yes, reproduction." Ratchet said. Taking the disc out of the computer he turned to walk back to his medical bay. "I guess you will have to keep a closer eye on Aquarius." He said with a slight chuckle.
Optimus grimaced. He was not looking forward to becoming a grandfather. He only hoped that his daughter was careful and waited until after she bonded to decide to have sparklings.
Over the next two weeks a bucket of water in the face became a normal wake up routine for Deckerd, so today when he woke up, he was confused, how come Aquarius didn't throw water in his face. Getting up he walked over to her bedroom and peered inside. Aquarius was still deep in recharge. He then checked his internal clock and noticed it was only 6:00 a.m. Deckerd closed the door and smiled, it was payback time. He went over to where Aquarius kept the bucket, went into the kitchen and filled with cold water and ice then walked back to Aquarius's room.
Aquarius jumped as she felt the cold water hit her face. She looked up to see a smirking Deckerd.
"What's the big idea?" She said aggravated.
"Pay back." Deckerd said with a smirk still on his face.
"Okay, I suppose I deserved that." She sighed. Getting out of the berth she walked past Deckerd and started heading toward the kitchen. Deckerd stopped her in the doorway of the kitchen.
"If you don't mind, I'm trying to get some breakfast." She said in a huff.
"No, let me make you breakfast today." Deckerd insisted.
"Fine, I like your cooking better anyway." She said giving up. As she turned around to go sit and wait for her morning energon in the living room, Deckerd did something unexpected. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into an embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead. He then let go and left Aquarius standing there in absolute shock. 'He kissed me!' She said to herself. 'Yeah it was only on the forehead, but he actually kissed me!'
Regaining her thoughts she went to sit down on the couch where she lost herself in thought once again. Why did she get excited when he kissed her on the forehead? Was she starting to have feelings for him? Did he have feelings for her? She figured that only time will tell.
