-A few days later, morning-

"Wheeljack, wake up! It's time!" Ratchet whispered, peering into Wheeljack's makeshift berthroom.

Wheeljack groaned, rolling over on his side. "Mph...What?" He mumbled, yawning and stretching his arms. His optics flew open when he remembered what Ratchet was talking about. "The sparkling!" He leapt off his berth, darting over to where the special container was sitting on the counter.

Ratchet giggled, walking after him and standing beside him as they looked inside of the chamber. "It should emerge any minute now." He said softly.

Wheeljack was about to explode with excitement. He just couldn't wait for their sparkling to enter the world. His optics widened when he saw the sparkling's encasement crack a little. "Did you see that?!"

"Yes I did, now calm down or else you'll overload your circuits." Ratchet laughed, wrapping his arm around Wheeljack's neck.

The encasement cracked some more as the sparkling finished developing its protoform. A bit of energon leaked out as it fully cracked in two, revealing a curled up figure.

"Oh my gosh Ratchet look! It's out!" Wheeljack exclaimed, trying his best not to jump up and down.

"Okay okay, I'm going to get a towel so we can clean it off." Ratchet quickly ran over to his supply closet and grabbed a towel, running back over.

Wheeljack stood back and watched in awe as Ratchet opened the hatch to the chamber and carefully took the sparkling out. He wrapped the sparkling in the towel, rubbing it until it was warm and clean.

"Let me see!" Wheeljack said, peeking over the folds of the towel. He spotted the sparkling's helm and about passed out from the amount of cuteness.

The sparkling had the same body type as Wheeljack and the same helm shape as Ratchet. It's armor colors were a mix of red, white, and green.

"Lets see if it's a femme or a mech..." Ratchet mumbled, running his scanner over the small frame of the sparkling.

Wheeljack waited for the answer, his anticipation growing steadily.

"It's a... femme! A beautiful one too. You did well, Wheeljack." Ratchet said, smirking at Wheeljack.

"Our little femme! You had a huge part in her design two, Sunshine." Wheeljack grinned, blushing a bit. "What should we name her?"

"I'm not sure... You name her, you're the carrier." Ratchet said, looking up at Wheeljack.

"But you're the sire, you should get to name her." Wheeljack said, crossing his arms.

"Yes, But you carried her most of the way. You are naming her and there's nothing you can do to change my mind." Ratchet chuckled.

Wheeljack sighed and laughed a little. "You stubborn mech! Fine, lets see....." he thought about what to name her for a while. He tapped his chin thoughtfully, taking a good look at her framework and colors. "What about Athena?"

"That sounds like a wonderful name. Little Athena.." Ratchet smiled, gently rubbing her tiny forehead.

"Can I hold her?" Wheeljack asked.

"Of course." Ratchet replied, carefully placing the bundle into Wheeljack's arms.

Wheeljack had never held a sparkling before, so Ratchet had to help him a bit before he got the technique. "She is so precious.." he smiled, nuzzling her gently.

After he nuzzled her, she yawned and opened her optics for the first time. Her optics were a light shade of blue with darker flecks in them. She looked up at Wheeljack and made a cute noise, causing him to blush.

He put his finger on her helm and rubbed it gently. He was taken by surprise when she grabbed his finger with her tiny hands and stuck it in her mouth.

Ratchet giggled, watching the scene unfold before him. "Aw, she likes you."

"Either that or she just likes my finger." Wheeljack joked, not minding the weird sucking feeling on his finger tip.

"I'll go get her some energon, she needs low grade since she's so young." Ratchet said, beginning to leave the Medbay.

"Hey Ratch?"

Ratchet turned around and tilted his helm. "Yes?"

"I love you, we are so blessed to have a sparkling." Wheeljack said, his face turning bright pink.

Ratchet turned a deep shade of red, admiring how adorable Wheeljack was when he was serious like that. "Me too, Jack. I'll be back in a bit." He smiled, stepping out into the hallway and sighing.

Meanwhile, Wheeljack sat down in a chair and observed Athena as she vigorously sucked on his finger. He removed his plate and gently kissed her on the forehead. He felt her tiny hand brush his face and he jerked away, not wanting her to touch his scars.

"Oh Athena, you don't understand how things work yet.." he sighed, putting his plate back on and leaning back in the chair.
