Ratchet was quick to get all of the supplies he needed, because he refused to let the young girl he had grown close to hurt or anything else any longer. He transforms into his alt form, opening the doors to let the two soldiers in. "Hurry, we have no time to lose." 

        Epps quickly got in the passenger seat, buckling up quickly and Lennox doing the same in the drivers seat. They cared for their 'niece' dearly and they showed it every time they saw her. You could tell by the two small presents they had set down in front of them.

~ Small town Mesquite Creek, Arizona ~        I kept my young daughter busy with guessing games, trying not to show how worried I was about the color of her blood an whatnot. I was distracted by three sets of knocks on the door. "I'll be right back." I told Lucille, kissing her forehead softly and walking to the door. 

        I opened it slowly and let out a giant sigh of relief when I saw Lennox, Epps, and Ratchet. I opened the door and let them all in, Ratchet currently being in his holoform with his medical stuff on him. 

        All three of them rushed into the house, and I pointed towards the kitchen where they all proceeded to run to. "Uncle Lennox!" I heard Lucille yell, since Lennox was the first one in the kitchen. 

        I followed them into the kitchen, to find Lucille in Lennox's arms and Lennox sitting on the counter as he spoke to her while Ratchet checked her knee and checked out her blood to see if it was that color because of who her parents were. 

        Epps was sitting on the other side of her on the counter, holding her hand in his and the three of them were joking around with each other to make Lucille laugh. They always were excellent at cheering her up, something I loved dearly about them. 

        "Hey Lucy, guess what the twins did to grandpa Ratchet?" Epps asks, getting a glare from Ratchet and a giggle from the young girl sitting next to him. Lucille looked up at him with expectant eyes, meaning she wanted to know. "

        The twins waited until he was recharging then they snuck into his med bay and painted him bright pink." he says, taking out his phone and showing her the picture. I was worried about the picture until Epps showed me it, and I was happy to know it was Ratchet in his holoform instead of his true form. 

        Lucille burst into fits of giggles and Ratchet started muttering his breath at the two soldiers, just finishing up Lucille's knee. He picks her up and carries her away from the two, heading towards the back door. 

        "Lucy, why don't we go outside and play instead of dealing with those two ignorant children.." he mutters, the two hearing him and both shouting at the medic making me laugh. Lennox and Epps raced outside after the two, making Ratchet run with a giggling Lucille in his arms. 

        He may be a grumpy medic half of the time, but he was different when he was around Lucille. She changed his attitude and he cared deeply for her, thinking of her as a grand-daughter since Lucille had deemed him her grandpa. 

        This was her family and I wouldn't change any of it, nothing could ever take her family away from Lucille. Not even Primus himself could be able to tear her family away from Lucy, not without getting crocodile tears that would instantly make him give her family back to her.
