"Do it again, honey! I want to get this on video!!" Medix said as he brought out his phone to start recording.

Hotshot rolled his optics playfully as he held his 3-month old daughter in his lap, his attention finally turning to her after a few seconds of silence. "Starlight, look at daddy!"

Starlight looked up at her father with curiosity.

Hotshot paused for a beat and then flicked his audiofins up.

Starlight flicked hers up in response.

And then the whole team started dying from cuteness.

Hotshot kissed his daughter's cheeks excessively as his team kept falling all over themselves. Each of them would take turns talking about how adorable Starlight is.

Medix smiled as he listened to his beloved team talk about his sweet daughter. His smile widened when he looked over at his mate and sparkling. Starlight giggled and squealed with glee as her daddy kissed her tiny audiofins excessively. She then giggled loudly when her daddy suddenly blew raspberries into her little tummy.

Medix only smiled wider as he snuck over toward his family, successfully loving on his mate's audiofin without getting caught.

Hotshot's audiofins perked up in reponse, and as Starlight's audiofins perked up too, he started blushing heavily.

Wedge took that moment to start laughing, "BRO-"

He suddenly found himself with a face full of couch pillow.

Hotshot looked over at Hoist as he hid his blush, "Nice shot!"

"Thanks", Hoist smiled, "I've been practicing!"

"I should teach you how to throw a wrench next!", Medix chimed in.

Wedge groaned loudly, "Please don't. Starlight already smashes me in the helm with wrenches-"

Hotshot busted out laughing, "You and I are on the same boat bro! Soon enough we'll BOTH be immune to the wrenches!"

Just then, Ratchet walked in through the groundbridge. "What's all this about being immune to wrenches? Because that's a myth."

"Hi Uncle Ratchet! What brings you here?", Medix smiled.

"Hotshot called and asked when Starlight would have her next round of shots-"

"He what."

Ratchet, ignoring Hotshot's methods to get him to shut up, continued with a smirk, "I think he mentioned that he was afraid you were going antivax and-"

Ratchet grinned frm audio to audio as he watched Hotshot get pummeled with pissed off wrenches.

                                                                 ------------------------------------------

"IT WAS A JOKE."

Medix ignored his mate as he held their daughter still. For something like this, he needed to know about it well in advance so that he could be prepared for it. One of the things he hated was watching his little girl get her shots. Her cries always made his spark feel awful for doing this. It's a mom thing.

But he also knew that it was the right thing to do since he wanted his daughter to live a long and healthy life.

As Medix was off in his own thoughts, Ratchet had the vaccine ready to go. "Okay Starlight, I'll need you to be a big girl now-"

Starlight was not having it. She knew what that thing was and knew that it was not going to feel good.

Her fear seemed to snap her parents out of their trance because now, they did everything they could to keep her distracted.

Hotshot, being the genius he is, decided to let her boop his nose. With every boop came a loud "MEEP", followed by lots of little giggling.

In the midst of their playtime, Medix kept Starlight in his lap and held her leg out to Ratchet. Ratchet quickly pricked the needle through her protoform, dispensed the medicine, and removed it just as fast. A small colorful bandage immediately sealing the wound without another trace.

Starlight looked perplexed as she felt the pain but no one was touching her. Her face slowly melted into some tears. Yet, one little raspberry to her tummy by none other than her dorky daddy quickly brought out the sunshine.

The medicine was in and no tears were shed. Ratchet knew full grown cybertronians who could never accomplish that.

"Alright, she's all done. She's perfectly healthy", Ratchet said with a smile.

"Can I pass out now?", Medix asked.

"Yes you may-

Medix immediately collapsed.

His family looked on in horror. That is, until Ratchet spoke up.

"He's a carrier. He loves his sparkling. He got worried that this wouldn't go well. It went well. Crisis averted. Tension released."

"Oh", was all Hotshot could say.

"So I'll go get those recordds updated and then I'll be out of your way. I do recommend that you stay on your mate's good side for the rest of the day."

Hotshot settled Starlight down right next to his mate on the berth immediately after that.

"Trust me sir", he said, "he'll still get mad somehow."

"I'll admit, it runs in the family", Ratchet joked.

They both laughed.

And that woke up Medix.
