Family time
It was Friday night and Peaches had finally finished up the work she had been assigned to do that day. She walked into the main room of the base, where Sideways was gazing down on the small form of Abigail Jean Smith aka Abby, their 3 month old adopted daughter.
Needless to say the orange and red femme was surprised at what she saw. "She's sitting up by herself!"
"More likely than not she saw Techno learning it early and is-"
Sideways was interrupted when Abby fell over onto the blanket and started crying. Peaches picked up the infant carefully. "I guess I was wrong when I thought she'd learn faster just because she's being raised by Cybertronians."
"Ratchet said she's probably still going to learn everything at the same rate other humans are and to not worry about it." The silver colored mech said sighing. "Well, what movie do you want to watch tonight?"
"Good question." His sparkmate replied, thinking. "How about Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer this week?"
Sideways smiled and took the DVD out of subspace and put it into the DVD player. Fortunately, there was no karaoke night tonight and no one around to bother them, as everyone else had been assigned work in another part of the base or had gone on a mission. Devastator was of course outside on guard duty so he wouldn't be a bother to Peaches, who still didn't like him but put up with him anyways.
Peaches calmed down Abby, hit the "play" button on the remote and sat as close as she could to Sideways who was very willing to let her do so…
When the movie was over, Abby had fallen asleep and both the mech and femme took her and laid her in her crib. Their dog Snowball was already asleep in her basket.
Peaches smiled. "Good thing neither of us has guard duty tonight."
"Yes I know." Sideways let out a sigh of contentment. He and Peaches snuggled next to each other on their berth and they fell into recharge. Although this kind of time together was rare, the small unusual family was still enjoying it and not thinking of anything else.
Of course, Peaches sometimes wondered how she would deal with Abby when the latter became a teenager but that was a long way off. If she's anything like Tai or myself, I won't be surprised, the orange and red Pretender thought….now if only the human girl could have a brother or sister to keep her company.
Author's note: Yeah, I've had this poll up for a while as for what story you guys want to see next. It's going to be left on my profile until at least Saturday and for those who haven't seen it yet, here's the choices again as well as slightly longer summaries:
In my grasp- Transformers Prime story. A girl named Tanya needs protection when her dad is put into a coma by M.E.C.H and Optimus Prime is ready to step in as her guardian. Tanya doesn't feel special at all due to not having a mother. Can the Autobots, Jack, Raf and Miko help her realize that they can be her family as well?
Not so clear-Live action TF story. Peaches and Sideways have a 2nd sparkling, Crystal. They think they know what they're doing but how do you raise one human child and one Cybertronian sparkling at the same time?
Friend on the other side-not a song fic, Generation 1 AU. Amy has been raised by the Autobots while Mackenzie has been raised by the Decepticons. They meet at school and become best friends. What do their adoptive families think of this? Will the 2 stay best friends?
