"Hello" Person/Magic talking.

"Hello" Cybertronian talking.

By the next morning the age changer was finished, Jade and Que were tired but pleased "Finished" the Inventor said with a smile.

The sixteen year old smiled and nodded "Shall we test it?" she asked.

Que smiled and nodded and picked up the hand-held device "Do you want to try?" he asked.

Jade smiled and nodded "Sure" she replied "I'd like to be one"

The Inventor smiled and nodded "Ok, stand in a clear space" he replied.

The sixteen year old nodded and flew off the worktop, she stood in a clear space and gave the thumbs up "Ready" she said with a smile.

Que smiled and set the age to one, he aimed it at Jade and pressed a button.

A white light surrounded the sixteen year old, it didn't hurt her. When the light cleared there was now a one year old Jade, her hair was shorter but was still dip-dyed purple at the ends. Her eye colour was a darker brown and her eyes were a little wider, she wore a purple long sleeve t-shirt with a black hoodie on top, she also wore black jeans with black trainers that had purple laces on them. She held herself as she looked around for her father, at her age he was the only one she trusted and felt safer with him.

Que got up "I'll take you to Ironhide Jade" he said softly.

The one year old nodded wearily.

The Inventor smiled a little and walked with her to the living room, he noticed her looking around a lot as she cuddled herself.

Ironhide was in the living room watching TV, he quite liked watching TV as he didn't get the opportunity when he was a Decepticon. Granted he did with his daughter but that was rare, what he didn't expect was a one year old Jade to run up to him and climb onto his lap. She cuddled him and chirped quietly, he blinked his good optic in surprise and gently picked her up in his arms.

Jade snuggled into him and purred.

Ironhide gently stroked her hair and looked over at Que.

The Inventor saw the silent question "Jade and I have created an age changer" he explained "and Jade volunteered to give it a try"

'Hide nodded and smiled a little in thanks.

Que smiled "Just let me know if Jade wants to turn back to her normal age" he said.

Ironhide nodded.

The Inventor smiled and walked back to his lab.

'Hide smiled and held his daughter so she was facing him "Hello Jadey" he said softly.

Jade smiled and tweeted "Daddy" she replied and snuggled up to him.

Ironhide smiled and gently kissed her head "You ok?" he asked softly.

The one year old smiled and nodded, she put a small hand on his nose.

'Hide chuckled softly and twitched his nose.

Jade giggled and chirped.

Ironhide smiled and held her close, he gently stroked her hair.

The one year old purred and yawned, she rested her head between her father's shoulder and neck.

'Hide smiled and gently stroked her cheek "Aw you tired Jadey?" he asked softly.

Jade chirped quietly and nodded, she snuggled into her father more.

Ironhide smiled and held her in a protective but comfortable hold, he has always been protective of his daughter ever since she came into his life when she was four days old. He had protected her the best he could, treated her wounds after experiments, fed her energon and gave her fatherly love when she needed it most. And it helped her get through her time in the labs, the only time he wasn't there was when she was taken to live with Alive and D.X for a year, he didn't admit it out loud but he had been scared that she wouldn't survive because of being hurt too much. But to his relief and delight, she had survived and was with him again for another year. He looked at his daughter who had fallen asleep, the only time she would go to sleep willingly is if he was with her. He knew she felt safe with him and that made him all the more determined to protect her from harm, he gently kissed her head and gently held her closer to him.

The one year old purred and snuggled up to him more.

'Hide smiled and saw her dark blue Spark glowing brighter, he knew she was feeling loved. It was the same for Cybertronians, when they felt loved their Sparks glowed brighter. He'll admit he hasn't felt loved in a very long time, before his daughter came along he hadn't felt loved since his brother had gotten killed in a battle. He shook his helm to clear the sad thoughts and gently stroked his daughter's hair.

Jade purred in her sleep.

A couple of minutes later Ratchet came in, he smiled when he saw his Bondmate with a one year old Jade in his arms "Aww" he said softly and sat beside his 'Mate.

Ironhide smiled "Que's age changer" he whispered softly "Jade volunteered to give it a try, this is the result"

The Medic smiled and nodded "Jade tells me you know Medics" he said softly.

'Hide smiled and nodded "I do yeah" he replied softly "do you need help?"

"Not right now...but I might if we have to battle" Ratchet replied softly.

Ironhide nodded "I'll help you" he said softly.

The Medic smiled and kissed his Bondmate's cheek "Thanks 'Hide" he replied softly "I wasn't sure whether to ask because you're a Weapons Specialist as well, and I don't want you to get too stressed out"

"Nor do I want to see you so stressed out" 'Hide replied softly and gently kissed his 'Mate's cheek "I know being a Medic can be a stressful job, especially if you're the only Medic on the team, don't be afraid to ask me for help"

Ratchet smiled a little and nodded "Are you sure?" he asked softly.

"I'm sure, I love you and I want to be able to help you" Ironhide replied softly "so promise me you'll come to me"

The Medic smiled and snuggled up to his Bondmate "I promise" he replied softly.

'Hide smiled and kissed his helm.

That night after Ironhide had fed his half asleep daughter, he and Ratchet went to their quarters.

Jade yawned and snuggled into her father more, she was a little weary around Ratchet but knew he didn't mean any harm. Plus he was her father's Bondmate and he made him happy, and she loved seeing her father happy.

Ironhide and Ratchet walked into their quarters "I found Bumblebee's old cot" the Medic said with a smile "perfect for Jade"

'Hide smiled and nodded, though he knew his daughter hated bars as she was in a cage for the first three years of her life. But he had an idea on how to get around that "Ratch could you put the cot right up against my side of the berth?" he asked "Jade doesn't like bars"

Ratchet nodded and moved the cot so it was against his Bondmate's side of the berth which was the right side "Shall I put the bars down on one side?" he asked.

Ironhide nodded "Yeah, the side that's against the berth" he replied.

The Medic nodded and put the bars down on the side that was against the berth "There" he said with a smile and stretched.

'Hide smiled and sat down on his side of the berth, he gently placed his daughter in the cot and tucked her in.

Jade smiled and tweeted quietly.

Ironhide smiled and gave her Cuddle.

Jade cuddled it and purred quietly, she yawned and started to fall asleep.

'Hide smiled and gently stroked her cheek, his daughter purred and fell fast asleep. He smiled and lay down in the berth beside his Bondmate, he put the blanket over both of them.

Ratchet smiled and turned on his side after turning off the bedside lamp, he snuggled up to his Bondmate with an arm draped over his chest.

Ironhide smiled and put an arm round him, he gently stroked his arm and gently kissed his helm.

The Medic purred softly "You are such a softy" he whispered softly as he lazily ran his fingers over his Bondmate's chest.

'Hide purred softly "Only for those I care about" he whispered softly and gently kissed his 'Mate "and I care about you, always will"

Ratchet smiled and relaxed, the only light was from outside. The moon was out and the stars twinkled, he smiled and yawned.

Ironhide smiled and gently stroked his arm "Sleep" he whispered softly.

The Medic smiled and fell into recharge feeling warm and comfortable.

'Hide smiled and looked at his daughter who was fast asleep, he yawned and gently kissed his Bondmate's helm before falling into recharge too.
