"Hello" Autobot talking.

Ironhide's POV
When I finished I looked down at Jade who was fast asleep, I smiled and gently stroked her cheek with my finger. She purred and kicked a little in her sleep, that made me smile. I quite liked the song by Linkin Park, I knew that it meant something to Jade as she had told me. I decided to look up the lyrics to see what they mean to her. I found the lyrics and looked through them, when I came to the chorus of the song I read the words.

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known.
Remember all the sadness and frustration,
And let it go, let it go

Now I understood why it meant something to her, she lets go of all her sadness and frustration and it makes her stronger. That's the best I can think of, I mean it might mean something completely different to what I'm thinking. I got off the internet and looked at her, she kicked a little and let out a sleepy chirp. Aww.

Normal POV
Ironhide smiled softly and purred a little in content, he gently stroked his daughter's cheek with his finger.
Jade purred happily in her sleep.
'Hide smiled, then his Sire came out with a cube of energon. He smiled "Sire you're a saint" he whispered and got the cube off him.
Trojan smiled.

Trojan's POV
I could see that 'Hide was a bit more relaxed now, he'd been worrying about Jade over these past couple of days and worrying constantly can't be good for a person right? At least it's better than seeing him almost give up fighting off his depression, I'll admit I was scared that he was gonna go into it and harm himself again. But now that Jade's back 'Hide's back to normal, and I was so happy-and relieved-that he was. I sat down beside him, I understood that Jade had some trouble with sleeping. But I didn't dare question her or Ironhide about it. Because I knew that Jade wouldn't say anything, and-as much as 'Hide trusted me-neither would 'Hide. He's the type to keep other people's secrets and only tell until that person says he can, if I asked him he'd say 'I can't say, I don't want Jade to lose her trust in me because I blabbed'. Now you'd think I'd be hurt about that, but I'm not. I know what 'Hide is like, so does 'Steel. I mentioned to Ratch what he was like and he understood, I'm glad Ratch is an understanding mech but so are 'Hide and 'Steel. And I'm an understanding mech myself, because of my break-up with their Carrier Trinity I was the one who raised 'Hide and 'Steel as a single parent. Ironhide got to see Trinity and-to put it bluntly-wasn't too fond of her because of the way she treated me, 'Steel on the other hand didn't get to see her as he was only a few weeks old and doesn't remember her. I always wondered what happened to her, but I never made my thoughts take over looking after my sons as they were always happy when I was around. And to be honest, I was happy when they were with me. I've gotten over Trinity now, she missed out on raising two fantastic sons. When I was reunited with 'Hide, he glomped me and cuddled me. It was like his true self had come out from his gruff exterior, playful but serious at times. That's what I love most about them, both 'Hide and 'Steel are playful but when they have to be serious as well. I think 'Hide raised Jade the same way I raised him, I gave him great determination by saying never give up hope on your dreams. And I always said show compassion to the people you love, I think 'Hide has passed that down to Jade when he raised her from four days old. He didn't mention her past to me, as I stated before: he's the type to keep other people's secrets until that person says otherwise. And I'm glad he can be trusted with other people's precious secrets.

'Steel is the same, you wouldn't think it with his bubbly and happy personality but he can keep a secret. A lot of people think he can't because they judge him by his personality, he was the talkative one so to speak. And Ironhide is the quiet one, which is something we all accept him for. And we all accept how Steelhide is, in fact people think he's an adorable mech. Especially when he chirps when he's really happy, that's just cute. 'Steel loves to shows his Sparkling innocence and doesn't give a damn what everyone else thinks, 'Hide doesn't show his that much. I think it's because of the gruff exterior he 'created' when he joined the 'Cons, to hide his true feelings. I didn't think that was very healthy for him to do that, hiding your true feelings and putting on a gruff exterior so no one suspected that something was wrong with you. And Ironhide was a 'Con for a very long time, primus hiding your feelings for that long couldn't have been good for him. Hmm I wonder if it affected him in more ways than he lets on?
