"Look at him!"

"He's so...small..."

The Twins poked and chittered their thoughts to themselves.Prowl sat in his office chair with a smirk on his face,infant son in his arms.The Twins had popped by to beg the SIC to be relieved from monitor duty,when they saw  Prowl trying to rock little Clockwork to sleep. The baby's "mother" was off on a mission,and ever since Jazz had left,Clockwork's fussing had been never-ending.The little green bitlet warbled,somewhat pleased with the amount of attention he was recieving.

With Prowl's luck,the Twins had discovered Clockwork's adorable-ness and began to act like two teenage girls at a boy band concert as a result.Sideswipe tickled the child's chin and made strange cooing noises,and Sunstreaker slowly admitted his adoration for little Clockwork."Look at Sides,kiddo!Look at Sides!"Sideswipe urged,making a funny face after achieving the baby's attention.Clockwork smiled and giggled.

Sunstreaker shoved his brother out of Clockwork's line of sight,smiling in satisfaction at the loud grunt."Hi,tiny baby."the yellow mech said.He gently poked Clockwork's tummy.The sparkling laughed in response.Sunstreaker smiled a bit wider and said,"You're silly,tiny baby."

Prowl raised an optic ridge."He's got a name,you know."Sunstreaker continued to tickle Clockwork's tummy as if in a trance.He had a huge smile on his face,one Prowl had never seen before.Sure,he had laughed and smiled maliciously whenever someone fell pray to his brother's and his own pranks,but never in his time on the Ark had Prowl seen a kind,genuine smile from the yellow frontliner.Part of Prowl felt proud of him,for bringing out his good side.

"I think Tiny Baby suits him just as well."Sunstreaker shrugged.Clockwork warbled happily.Sideswipe stood up and brushed himself off,huffing in frustration and anger.

"C'mon,Sunshine.You're lucky there's a sparkling in here,or I would crush you to a pulp."

"Look at him though,Sides..."

"SUNNY.He's just a baby.It isn't like you've never seen one before."

Sunstreaker stopped smiling.With a disappointed sigh,he stood up and walked towards the door with his brother."Yeah.Sure.Let's go."

The door opened with a whoosh,and Sideswipe called out a cheerful goodbye as he walked out.Clockwork cried out,reaching his tiny servos out for Sunstreaker.Sunstreaker waved half-heartedly to Prowl."Bye,Prowl."He smiled at Clockwork and waved a bit more enthusiastically and called,"Buh-bye,Tiny Baby!" Just as he was about to walk out,Prowl called out.

"Sunstreaker?"

The yellow frontliner stopped in his tracks."Yeah?"

"You can come visit Clockwork later,if you'd like."

Sunstreaker visibly perked up."R-Really?Uh,I mean...yeah,sure.I'll consider it." Prowl smiled at his attempt to cover up his excitement.Sunstreaker then left,and Clockwork called some sparkling jibberish at his father.Prowl sighed.

"Don't worry.He'll be back soon,I'm sure."
