(This will be composed of several moments in the lives of Achilles and Sapphire as little sparklings. The only warning is major fluff and cuteness overload. Get ready to explode from the cuteness and adorableness of these various moments of these cute OC's of mine.

Meeting the Future
It had about five days since the birth of Optimus Prime and Elita 1's sparkling, Achilles and Sapphire, and during that time, the new family had time to form the parent-child band that would connect them to each other. During that time, no one was allowed to interrupt their leaders, for any interruption would stop the formation of the bond.
Now after waiting patiently, all the Autobots were ready to meet their leader's offspring. In the command center, all of Optimus Prime's and Elita 1's team members waited anxiously for the introduction, as well as the human allies, Spike, Carly, and Sparklpug.
Just then, the doors leading to the command center slid open, and the noble Optimus Prime walked, proudly inside and all was quiet, waiting to hear his announcement.
"I thank you all for your patience, my friends. It indeed brings me great joy and honor to present my offspring. Before I have Elita 1 enter with our treasure, I wish that you all keep quiet and speak softly, their audio receptors are still very sensitive to the loudest sound, and might be frightened." Optimus announced, and everyone listened.
"Better keep your voice down then, 'Hide. Don;t want any babies getting scared of you," Joked Jazz, and a few of the Autobots chuckled at the joke, all except for Ironhide. "Shut up, this is serious, Jazz." He growled, but Jazz held up his hands in defense. "Chillax, man. I was kidding, I am a bout as excited to see the little guys as much as you."
"Now about the 'little guys' Jazz, I have intentionally kept the genders a secret but now that you are keen on hearing what gender they are, I am proud to say that Elita and I are blessed with a mech and a femme, twins." Optimus continued and the Autobots couldn't help but cheer at their leader. After everyone settled down, Optimus went on. "Now, without further ado, Autobots, I present to you...Achilles and Sapphire." He concluded and turning to his side and sending the thumbs up to Elita through their bond, the leader of the female Autobots entered with the two sparklings, wrapped in swaddling blankets.
All was quiet and still, for all the Autobots and humans stood still in utter awe and amazement; there they were, two, tiny, innocent, and adorable bay cybertronians, not only were they babies but babies that belonged to none other than the greatest, strongest, wisest, and most powerful cybertronian ever known.
For a while, no one moved until, the young Autobot scout, Bumble Bee, moved forward to his commander and when his leader nodded in encouragement to gaze upon the sparklings, Bumble Bee almost choked.
"Oh...They...They are so cute. Hello there, little ones." He cooed and the two sparklings gazed up at hearing his soft, young voice. Sapphire then babbled and to everyone's disbelief, reached out and touched Bumble Bee's nose plate, making everyone utter quiet 'awes'.
"She seems to like you, Bumble Bee." Elita 1 smiled as her daughter began feeling the scouts face plate, fascinated at the feeling. Bumble Bee chuckled and backed up and said, "Congratulations, Prime."
"Thank you, my friend." Optimus spoke and Bumble Bee stepped back into the crowd, and soon everyone came up to see the new additions, but were careful not to crowd as to not scare the babies.
Making his way up to his old friend, Ironhide and his bond mate, Chromia, looked down and were smitten.
"Aww, would ya look at that. They look just like their mommy and daddy." Ironhide chuckled, a big smile on his face plate.
"They are so cute. You must be so proud, Elita," Chromia commented to her friend.
"Thank you , Chromia. I am indeed very proud of being blessed with such lovely sparklings." Elita 1 grinned as she softly stroked Achilles' and Sapphire's cheek plates, making the little ones stare up at their mother and beam happily.
"That's it, Ironhide. We need to have a long and serious talk." Chromia turned to her startled bondmate and he was a bit unsure what she ment, but then after seeing the sparklings, he got a pretty good conclusion about what Chromia ment.
"Now, 'Mia, lets not rush this. Besides, it might a little hard raising more than just two sparklings." Ironhide plead, but Chromia was not falling for it, as she grabbed him and dragged him out of the room to 'talk' with her love.
"Oh, dear. Chromia can never stand having being the second in line to things, even having a sparkling for that matter." Ratchet sighed as he shook his head, but then his frustration melted as he saw the sparklings looking at him and giggled at him. "But, they are perfect, after all I did help with the delivery."
"Yes, we already have that in mind, thank you Ratchet." Optimus nodded.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were the next to look at the sparklings and both couldn't help but laugh, slightly. "It looks like were aren't the only twins at the anymore, huh, Sideswipe?" Sunstreaker grinned.
"Yep, and maybe we may have some competition with these two." Sideswipe agreed. The lambo twins were notorious for being a but mischievous and loved pulling pranks on their team mates, but with the arrival of the new members, they might have to clear one side for them if the sparklings wanted to be like them.
After all the Autobots got the chance to meet Achilles and Sapphire, it was time for the humans to meet them. As the humans came up to Elita 1, she knelt so that her children and the humans could have a look at each other.
"Aww, they are adorable," Carly squealed.
"Well I'll be, never seen a baby robot in my life." Sparkplug chuckled as he scratched the back of his head.
"Wow, they are so tiny, but really cute. Congrats, Optimus. I'm sure you will be a great father." Spike smiled.
"I already have that under consideration, Spike, and thank you." Optimus Prime thanked the young man, but then Achilles began to shriek in fascination at the Spike, reaching out. Seeing that her son wanted to see the boy, Elita moved a little closer so that the sparkling could better look at the organic being. No longer struggling, Achilles then reached out with one, tiny digit and softly touched Spike, and quickly pulled back and giggled.
"He is you son, Optimus. He already loves other beings besides his own." Spike laughed. Just then the mech looked up at the big, rad and blue mech and cooed, reaching for him, and Optimus rewarded his son by scooping him into his arms and cradled the little one close to his chest plate and face plate.
"Isn't that cute." Carly couldn't help but blush at the sudden change of Prime's behavior as he held his sparkling close to him, cuddling him sweetly and warmly.
"I thank you all for showing great admiration to these little miracles of ours," Optimus then turned to his team, " But we must remember that the Decepticons are still a major threat, and if they manage to find out the identity of the sparklings, Megatron will take any chance he has to take them and use them as leverage against us, against me Therefore, my children must be watched over and protected at all times. I will not risk the safety of my little ones if Megatron finds out about them. I have selected a few of you to be there care takers while either me or Elita 1 should be called away. Ironhide, Hot Rod, Ratchet, Kup, Jazz, and Bumble Bee, you are those care takers, since you have proven to be trustworthy to protect our children. I have every confidence in you and trust you to take this take to the up most importance." Optimus announced, and the selected Autobots agreed to guard the sparklings with their lives. "Now, in the meantime, carry on with your duties, it is going to be a long time before these future Autobots will be able to join you in combat." Optimus Prime finished and dismissed himself and Elita 1, and soon they returned to their quarters and life would definitely not be the same for the Autobots for the years to came.
