"I never knew I would change so much over such a short amount of time. I only got here three days ago. I do admit I have matured a lot since I've had to live on my own for a while but as soon as I got here some of my old irresponsibility started to surface. Now here I am with a child in my arms. It's like everything else just kind of fell into place from there," Skywarp continued to pet his daughter's head but she continued to whimper and he couldn't figure out what was causing it.
He lifted her chin slightly so she was looking into his optics, "What's wrong?" He figured she probably had a nightmare so he tried rubbing his finger up and down the center of her back, "No ones gonna get you. They'd have to go through me first. Are you hungry?"
Illuminescence started to calm down a little and nodded. Skywarp got up while he asked Chimera, "Could you hold her while I go find the low grade dispensor? I have to go back to the lounge to get it."

Chimera blinked and stiffened up, "What...? I... uh... I don't know what to do!"

"Hold her. Talk to her. Play with her. Simple stuff like that. Just keep her mind off me being out of the room," Skywarp explained with a smile as he set the child in her arms.
Illuminescence squeaked in protest but Skywarp stopped her, "You be good for Chimera. I have to go get your food." The sparkling made this kind of a chirp sound as if saying 'okay'. Her father's fire-red optics gazed softly in her golden ones as in a simple reassurance and the sparkling seemed in settle into the femme's arms.

Desinex leaned on the wall, wincing. Primus damned Autobots... She had been buried under a section of the wall that had collapsed after the explosion in the brig. She had only recently come back online, and had managed to shove the debris off of her in order to get to the medbay.
When she got there, the sight that met her optics caused the sniper to pause, before making an "ahem" sound in an attempt to get the attention of the medics.

Chimera was still sitting stiffly as she looked down at the sparkling. Oh, wow, this was uncomfortable. How did mother do this with relative ease? "Ummm.... Hello."
Primus, no wonder her father never had anything to do with them unles he had to.
~*~*~*~
Blizzard whirled around to look at Desinex and scowled, "Berth, now."

Illuminescence looked up at Chimera with her big golden optics and chirped, "Ai!" She stared the femme in curiosity. She looked around before pointing at the one at the table still enthralled with the datapad he was reading. "Unka."
Skywarp made his way back to the lounge and when he got there he detached the low-grade dispensor from the wall. He then started to carry it back to the commons.

"Starscream? Heh, I'm staying right here thank you very much." Chimera relaxed a bit.

Desinex nodded, making her way to the nearest berth. She was dented, scratched, and primus knows what else, along with being fragged off at the Autobots. Needless to say, she wasn't a happy femme.

Blizzard gathered up her tools and started work. "So what happened to you and why didn't you drag your aft in here sooner?"

Desinex scowled, before responding, "Part of the brig wall decided to say 'hello' by landing on me... I just came back online a short while ago and came straight here once I was able to get up."

"Unka Tar S...sscheme," she stumbled on the words with her young vocals. "Unka Tar Scheme!" she said it again with a little effort but giggled when got it out in one piece.
Skywarp finally strolled back into the commons with the low-grade dispensor and set it on the counter, "I'm back."
Illuminescence squealed, "Dada!" holding out her arms immediately to be held.
"Hang on my little fledgling. I gotta attach this to the wall so you can eat," her father smiled at her.

"Why the frag were you down in there once it was all over?" Blizzard ran scans and found no serious damage and quickly worked on the damage that was there.
~*~*~*~
"Tar Scheme... Heh. I'll have to keep that one in mind." Chimera felt great relief when Skywarp entered the room.

Skywarp finally got the machine hooked up to the wall and unsubspaced the sparkling's bottle. He unscrewed the lid then held it under the dispensor as it filled up as he heard the femme's comment, "Tar Scheme?" he questioned with a raised optical ridge. He finished filling the bottle and reattached the lid before handing her the bottle so he could pick up the young seeker femme. He then took the bottle back and held it to Illuminescence who grabbed it and latched onto it immediately.

Chimera almost breathed a sigh of relief when Skywarp took his sparkling back. "It's apparently her name for Starscream."

"It was during the attack... I went down there to see if the 'Bots were there, and then the wall collapsed on me. It's not like I intended to get injured..." Desinex sighed a bit.

Skywarp smirked, "Heh, close enough. I wonder her name for Thundercracker will be. He vocals probably aren't developed enough to say the entire thing properly but at least she tried." Skywarp seat back down on the couch cross-legging as he fed the sparkling.

Chimera smirked a bit, "I used to call him 'Uncle Cracker'."

"I used to call him Tunda Cacka when we were still sparklings," Skywarp grinned broadly. Lumi suckled quietly on her bottle. Her head tilted slightly while she watch her uncle in curiosity as he continued to stare at whatever was in his hand.

"My brother Frost used to call Quicksilver 'Quickie'," she chuckled.

Rewire pulsed his spark. Of course. Double locks. He smiled and it almost reached his optics. Then he stood and walked out the door, sealing it securely behind him. Frag, blindsided and Raven was in shambles. And he had to find some way to explain things to their daughter...

Not really bored, Cloudburst squirmed and moved to lay her back sideways across Redstar. Just a little stiff. You're heavy, you big lug. Laughter flitted through the bond and she touched his cheek.
