"Hello" Autobot talking.

I liked it when he called me that, but he only did it when it was just us...I wonder why? Then again I only call him daddy when it's just us, maybe it's because it feels right when it's just the two of us. Or he feels more comfortable calling me Jadey when it's just the two of us, I didn't fault him for it. I mean I'll admit I feel more comfortable calling him daddy when it's just the two of us, I guess it's just a thing we do. Humans do that stuff as well, I smiled then tried to cover a yawn by putting a hand over my mouth and looking at the floor. But daddy is an observant mech, he may be the quiet one according to granddad but he was observant "Let's get you to sleep" he said softly.

I couldn't argue as I was far too tired and just nodded, I snuggled up to his chest. I always used to do this when I was in the labs, his Sparkbeat always made me relax. I would always feel warm and safe when he was around. I sighed in content.

Ironhide's POV
I watched Jadey fall asleep on my chest, she began to snore softly. She did this when she was in the labs, I always saw her relax when she heard my Sparkbeat. I'm thinking it makes her feel better and safer as well, which is a good thing. I want her to be happy, if she can help me then I can help her. It's like a two way street, I'm glad that I finally got what I needed to off my chest. And I feel better that I finally told someone after all this time, I do draw sometimes. But I haven't drawn in a while, I've got to get back into it so I can get rid of these Spark aches. And help Jadey when she needs it, Primus knows she's not one to talk. I think she's a quiet one like me, and keeps to herself like I do. I let out a yawn myself, it was night time and it was getting late. I got up with Jadey held to my chest and walked into base.

The next morning I heard a meow, I looked up and saw a black and purple cat looking at me with bright blue eyes. I smiled, looks like Jadey wanted to be a cat again. I just hope she avoids the road this time...I couldn't handle watching her being put to sleep again. I cleared that thought from my head and gently stroked my daughter's ear.
Jadey purred and licked my finger.
I smiled.

Then Jadey looked at Ratch and meowed.
I looked at Ratch who was just coming out of recharge, I looked at Jade again and she had a look of love. I had a feeling that she-along with Becky-were starting to think of Ratch as another father figure, which I was glad about. Because Ratch has been feelings the same way.

Jadey jumped from my chest to Ratch's chest, he was a little surprised then smiled.
I smiled as well, then I was jumped on by Becky-who was a puppy-and licked.
Jadey licked Ratch on the nose and Becky did the same with me, It tickled a bit. I chuckled "That tickles" I said.
If a puppy could look mischievous, Becky had that look in her eyes. Oh crap, she moved to the right side of my face and started to sniff around my scarred optic, I laughed because her sniffing tickled.
Becky wagged her tail and nuzzled my scar making me laugh.
That seemed to give Jadey an idea, she jumped off Ratch and walked out.
A few seconds later a small black and purple Jack Russell puppy bounded in.
Oh s**t, what was she up to? She jumped on our berth and went under the covers, now I had a scar on the left side of my hip. I got shot there five times, I had a small idea as to what she was going to do. And I was right, I laughed more as she sniffed my hip scar. I made sure not to roll over or accidently knock my daughters off as I laughed.
Rebecca wagged her tail and nuzzled my scar on my optic.
And Jadey nuzzled my hip scar, I laughed all the more.
