Okay, so here is the next piece of chapter to Through the Years. Probably one of my favorites in this story as is the next one. Hope you enjoy

Sunstreaker was not a happy mech. Oh no! First he had gotten very little recharge last night. There were two reasons for this. One, his slagging brother Sideswipe. Two, that no good fragging sparkling. It had cried a total of four times during the night and each one louder then the first.

He was absolutely seething when he stalked out of the bedroom. Sunstreaker marched right over to the couch and glared down at the two forms.

Sideswipe lay on his back, arms up on his chest wrapped tightly around the bundle that the sparkling was using. The red mech was still deep in recharge, but the thing was wide-awake.

Its bright blue optics stared up at the yellow twin, begging for him to help her away from the other.

Sunny would give it no such help as he stomped to the energon dispenser and grabbed a cube. A click meet his audio's, but totally ignored it as he downed his drink.

Click

He wanted absolutely nothing to do with the sparkling what so ever.

Click

A growl threatened to escape his vocalizers as it continued to click, more quickly this time.

Click, Click, Click

Knowing he was going to regret himself later, Sunstreaker went over and snatched the thing up. Instantly, the clicking stopped as it stared at him, through those blue optics.

Sunstreaker scowled, marching over to the box and began rummaging around inside. He found what he was looking for and gave the sparkling the cube. It clicked once for good measure, before diving into its food.

He could smell the difference between his energon and the one it had. The sparklings was a very low grade, since their systems couldn't handle regular energon.

The sparkling continued to watch him as it ate, very intrigued by the mech holding her. He could tell she was not afraid of him, and that gave him an uneasy feeling.

Usually, most mech and femme's were afraid of him. Sunstreaker knew they all thought him psycho. But he could care less what everyone else thought. That was why he had his art. To be able to escape from the reality of Cybertron.

There was a spare room, where he did most of his painting. Often he would shut himself up in there and paint all day. If it weren't for his twin, he would paint all night as well.

Click

Sunstreaker looked down to see the sparkling was done with its energon, though still watching him. Again he scowled, and then watch as it tried to mimic him.

Turning he walked back over to his brother and deposited the little glitch on Sideswipe's chest.

The red mech startled awake with a yelp, staring wide eye at Sunstreaker. The sparkling was clicking away and seemed a little upset for being handled so roughly.

"What did you do that for?" growled Sides scooping her up into his arms.

"Get rid of it." He sneered back and with that left to his studio, firmly shutting the door behind him.

Sideswipe glared at the door for a few nanoclick, before looking down at the femme. She was staring up at him with her blue optics, although looked towards where Sunstreaker disappeared.

He chuckled. "So, I see you got Sunny trained to get your morning energon."

Click, Click

"Guess, I should take you back to the hospital for the medic to look over. Then, we'll see if we can get you a new home and family." He sighed, not really wanting to give her up just yet.

Standing he stretched as best he could, while holding the sparkling with one arm. He then made his way into the bedroom and towards the washroom that he and his twin shared.

As soon as he turned on the water, she began to click madly, reaching out her hands towards it.

He laughed. "So you like this do you?"

Stepping under the spray, the sparkling immediately began clicking away, clapping her hands together. Sideswipe put her down gently on the floor and watched as she splashed the water.

Again laughing he grabbed a scrub cloth and lathered it with soap, then bent down to her level. As soon as he began to wash her frame, she stilled which allowed him to everything.

"You are a good little one." He cooed standing back up and cleaned himself off.

As soon as the soaps and suds were gone, Sideswipe picked her back up again. Grabbing a towel he dried her off quickly, as she clicked happily up at him. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were as bad as Sunny."

Click

Her head turned towards the doorway as she clicked again.

He frowned. "How old are you anyways? You seem to know exactly who he is and you only meet him the day before."

Click

Shrugging he grabbed a second towel to dry himself off, while she sat on the floor waiting patiently. Picking her up once again, Sideswipe made his way back into the sitting area and placed her on the couch. Then he went around and made sure everything he got from the medic the day before were still in the box.

Once done he turned to watch her. She was attempting to figure out how to get down off the couch. Her hands were gripping the cushion under her tightly, while her front of half was over the edge. She looked to the sides and he watched as she began crawling towards it.

Apparently, she was older then the medic had previously thought.

Sideswipe smiled as she slowly climbed down the arm of the couch, landing softly on the floor.

Definitely older then she seems.

She was crawling and the direction was towards Sunstreaker's studio. Just as she got there Sideswipe swept her up, as she made an angry face.

"Sorry little one," he chuckled stroking her helm. "but he doesn't like it when anyone disturbs him. Sometime's it's best to let him be."

Click

"Don't worry, I'll take you somewhere, where you can bother someone all you want. Now, let's get going, we have a lot to do today."

Click

The door to him and his brother's apartment shut behind as Sides bundled her up once again.

"Just to make sure," he smiled at her curious look.

Sideswipe walked the streets of Kaon, nodding at other mech's and femme's passing by. He once saw a decepticon up ahead, but quickly took another street to avoid it.

It took about two cycles to get to the hospital and another just to see the medic. Sideswipe was shown into one of the rooms, continuing to hold the femme, keeping her wrapped in the blanket.

Grumbling came from the other side of the door, before it opened. A red and white mech stepped in, barely giving them a glance.

"Couldn't get your brother to agree?" he asked looking at the datapad in hand.

"Correct."

The medic nodded. "Alright, I'll take her to the orphanage downstairs."

"No," Sides said pulling her tighter to him. The medic raised an optic towards him. "I want to try and find a family myself. It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to make sure."

He nodded placing the pad aside. "Alright youngling, I meant no threat. Let's take a look at her before you go."

Sideswipe placed the little femme on the examination table, unwrapping the blankets from around her. She was clicking away wondering what was going on. He stroked her helm softly. "Don't worry, he just wants to make sure nothing's wrong with you."

Click, Click

The medic watched closely off to the side. "She's already formed a small bond with you." Sides looked up. "I suggest you back away, before you become to attached to her."

Sideswipe did as he was told, though keeping his gaze locked on her. The medic stepped closer and her attention turned to the new mech. She clicked a few times, tilting her head to the side.

"I think she's older then you thought." Sides spoke after a small silence.

The medic nodded his head. "Yes, I had come to that conclusion as well. She knows exactly what is going on around her, yet still unable to put it into words. She is definitely older then she appears. If I didn't know better, she will soon need her first upgrade."

Sideswipe raised his optics in shock. "She can't be that old."

"Sorry youngling, but it appears so." The medic mumbled looking at his datapad again.

The sparkling clapped and pointed at the pad. The mech hummed before rummaging around in one of the cupboards. He brought out a few blocks kept around for a sparklings entertainment. Placing them on the table, the two watched as she examined them.

In next to no time she was stacking the blocks up and laughing as they fell over. Sideswipe looked to the medic for an explanation.

"Nine stellar cycles at least."

If Sideswipe could have paled, he would have at the mech's correction. He looked back at the sparkling who was building up the blocks again.

"She's going to need an upgrade soon, if we want her to keep developing. I could take her off your hands now, so you won't have to deal with it."

He shook his head stepping closer to her once again. She looked up and clicked a few times, handing him one of the blocks. "No, that won't be necessary, I'll pay for them myself."

The medic looked at him closely for a klik before nodding. "Alright, let's get an appointment set up so we can do this."

Sideswipe nodded as the two began setting up a day where they could get the upgrades done.

Before long he was walking back out of the hospital, with her wrapped in the blanket once more. Sunstreaker was not going to be happy with him when he found out.
