Awww. This was sweet.

Oh god such adorableness 3

One word: lovely! This made my day :)

Awww, these scenes are so cute!

I love how you write Ironhide...He's just ...perfect...and optimus...does have too big a spark...you hit that nail on the head.

Aww.

And it's neither as greasy nor as salty as actual schmaltz is - too sweet for it.

Aw...Fluff is a nice break after the angst that is your most recent chaptered fic.

That brings back memories! :) And makes me wish I could draw... "Pest" with the energon mug over his head and sleeping with his teddy bear.

i totally loved this story, a insight to father/son moments between optimus and tempest. thanks for writing it!

That was lovely! I wished for Prime and sparkling moments, and I gots some!

LMAO at Ironhide and Optimus trying to recharge with Tempest wailing for attention. Like an old married couple, those two.

"Your turn."

"No way!"

“Come now, Tempest. Let’s leave crotchety old mechs to their recharge.”

...while the other crotchety mech takes him for a walk.

Op and Pest walkies... LOLZ. Yup, keep on truckin' Prime. Tempest is your master now.

Ah, I'm always going to love moments where Pest is still inside Optimus and kicking his parts into brand new configurations. I'm sure Prime has a new appreaciation of what femmes go through.

Optimus purging! In the sink, no less. Poor guy. I must say, he was always fairly good natured about it. Stoic. Just one more thing he bears the burden for. And the sparkling looked at Mikaela! Sweet! How you described the sparkling inside Prime, I reckon that's the first time I've ever read a description of what a sparkling protoform is like inside a Transformer. Good on you!

“I think I’m glad it’s a mech. I wouldn’t know what to do with a femme.”

He probably knows what to do with an adult femme – I hope! (sorry, couldn't resist!)

And Pest has a teddy! Sparklings and teddies are the love. Someone needs to produce a photo hardcopy of it, so when Pest is a thousand years old and a Commander in his own right, it can be passed round his troops.

All was good in the end, Op managed to get pest back into recharge. Prime really is the biggest and best mother mech, ain't he?

Thanks Borath! Excellent stuff mate!

that was so sweet!

please update if there is gonna be anymore!

Aw, I'm really glad we got to see more of baby 'Pest. I was really sad that he had to "grow up," even though I could see the logic of it.

And I'm reminded of my daughter when she was a colicky infant, walking around with her. Except that, with her, sometimes the only thing that would get her to sleep would be taking her for a drive. I took lots of 3AM drives with my kid...

Cute story and well told. :)

Aw, this was cute. Having read this it would be interesting to see how things are for Tempest now that he's in a bigger body, but still very much a child. Very nice.

Aw, Pest is such a cute sparkling! That was lovely. :)

Oh great Primus that was just so frikken adorable!

I think I just developed some cavities...
