Elita's arrival chapter 5

(Elita's POV)

It was a few solar cycles after the incident with Barricade that I was recharging next to Optimus. He was "sound asleep" as the humans would put it where as I had just been awakened by Kayla, who wished to sleep with me due to having a nightmare.

I sat up and then lifted Kayla up with my right hand and put her on top of my chest near my spark chamber. "It is all right little one; dreams can not hurt you." I reassured her.

The human youngling calmed down within several minutes and fell into recharge on top of me then I resumed my recharge cycle a minute or so afterwards, wondering why on Earth or Cybertron I had become attached to the human children so fast...

The next day, the children had gone to school and Emerald and I were on our break talking to each other.

"It's not that I don't like the mechs here." She explained to me. "It's just that I've been wanting someone to talk about what the humans would call 'girl stuff' with."

"I do not mind doing so Emerald." I replied smiling, as we started talking about our sparkmates and what we liked about them. It was very relazing and a good way of passing the time until the human children came back from school and started trying to argue over who should talk about their day first.

"Kids, no arguing." Ironhide threatened them. "Or I might just-"

"Ironhide, do not harm them!" Optimus Prime ordered, growling a little bit.

"Yes sir." our team's weapons specialist replied, deactivating his cannons.

I had to admit that I was feeling the same as Optimus was. Yes, we knew Ironhide would never really shoot the humans living on base with us but still...

"Can we go in alphabetical order with telling you about our days?" Brandon asked, interrupting my thoughts.

Everyone else agreed to this, thus Brandon went first, then Darcy, and then Kayla, Kyle, Lauren, Lisa, Marcy, and Terry, who did not seem to mind being last. Overall they had seemed to be doing well today except for Lisa.

"If anybody needs to talk to myself or Elita, we will be in my office." Optimus Prime reassured the children. "For now, all 8 of you need to refuel and do your schoolwork."

We both went into the office and shut the door, feeling soem form of relief but still worried.

"Prime, I don't understand it." I said. "I just-"

"I know Elita; it seems our sparks want us to bond with the Wilson siblings and give them an adopted creator/creation relationship bond but I would have to ask Ratchet if it's worth the risks as I do not know if a human would be able to handle any type of Cybertronian bond regardless of what it is." Optimus Pirme said as he put his hand on one of my shoulders.

"Also, they will not live as long as we will." I shuddered to think of how we would handle each sibling's death if we were to have a bond with them. "Still, there has to be a good reason Primus allowed us to both meet them."

"Indeed." my sparkmate agreed. He then decided that we sould ask Ratchet in the morning, not aware of the 'Cons plans for the kids the next day...
