Hi guys! Got a new story for ya! I adopted it from StarLight837.

Some of you may have read the original Katie Grace story or are reading Galaxy Mermaid's version. Galaxy Mermaid and I are writing sister stories, she's starting from where StarLight left off while I'm restarting with a new twist in it. I hope you guys like it.

I do not own Transformers and their characters; they belong to Hasbro. Katie Grace belongs to StarLight837!

Re: Katie Grace

Jack looked at his watch; how much longer was he going to have to wait? Why his mother had chosen to become a foster parent, he would never know; she was never really home, so it would most likely be him watching this new kid.

His attention turned to the door as his mother opened it. In her arms was a little blonde toddler with the brightest, bluest eyes he'd ever seen. "Jack, come here," June called, "Come meet Katie Grace!"

He looked at the little girl in his mother's arms. "Hi there Katie; my name is Jack."

"Hi…" she waved slowly back. A tiny little smile crossed her features.

"Jack," His mother slowly handed the child to Jack, "The social worker dropped her off a day too late. I expected her yesterday, so that's why I took off work yesterday. I have work tonight so I won't be able to stay with her."

He sighed, "You need me to watch her tonight… I can do that." A wry smile spread across his face. "Good thing you kept all those classic Disney movies and there's a frozen pizza in the freezer we can eat."

June smiled, "I knew I could count on you." Glancing at the child, "I've gotta go to work, but I'll be back. Your new big brother will watch you." With that, she turned and left.

"Jack…" The toddler looked up at his eyes.

"So Katie… how old are you?" She held up three fingers. "You're three?" She nodded. Jack set her on the couch and began rummaging through the movies. "Do you like Pocahontas?"

"Yea!" Her blue eyes glimmered happily. Jack popped the DVD in and, as it played, he put the pizza in the oven. "Jack… you comin'?"

He sat beside her, the little girl eventually cuddling up beside her new brother, quickly falling asleep.

June took her break early, driving home to check on her son and foster daughter. She was surprised to find them on the couch, Pocahontas on the TV, a half-eaten pizza on the coffee table, and Katie leaning on Jack, sleeping.

"Hi Mom," Jack turned his head, "She conked out right after she ate."

"I'm not surprised. The drive here was a number of hours so she would be really tired." After a moment she spoke, "You don't mind sleeping in the study and allowing her to use your bed… at least until I can get a bed for her."

"I don't mind." Jack picked her up, going to his room, and laid the toddler on the bed.

He came back down to June. "How long is she staying?"

"I might adopt her, if things work out. She's had a hard life; when they found Katie, her mother had collapsed and died on the orphanage steps. No one knows about her father. To top it off, we are the tenth family in the last two months to take her in."

The boy's eyes glanced towards his room. "She seems so sweet; I can't believe she went through that." He softened, "I hope we can keep her, I don't like any little kid going through horrible things."

"Jack, you are kind and care for others. I'm sure you will be a good big brother for her. We will give it a while before I make a final decision but I would like to keep her as well." June smiled, "Now, take care of her, I've got to get back to work. Be back later."

Jack watched as her car drove away. "A good big brother… I can try…"

(Two Weeks Later)

Jack sighed as the hours ticked by. Why did this work shift feel like a million years? No one sat in the KO Burger dining area and no one came through the drive through. He had cleaned everything there was to clean and there was nothing to do.

He looked up as the door opened, his eyes shining as a familiar toddler tottered inside with June following behind.

"Jack!" Katie rushed around the counter, clasping at the boy's legs.

"Good to see you too, Kate!"

"Jack," his mother glanced at her watch, "They called me in for work, so I was wondering…"

"You shouldn't even have to ask, of course I'll watch the twerp!"

"Hey!" Jack chuckled at her high-pitched whine. He lifted her into his arms as she playfully scowled at him.

His mother sighed in relief, "Thank you, Jack!" Without another word, the nurse ran out, hopping into her car.

The two left in the diner sat a booth. "Ok, Kate, until a customer comes I'm all yours." This last hour wasn't going to be so bad after all.

The bond between Jack and Katie had grown over the last two weeks. The little girl already had Jack wrapped around her finger; he loved her as if she was his real sister. Since June was always at work, he had watched her and grew closer to her. By now, he would do anything for her and she would try to do the same for him. Little Katie followed him around and tried to mirror him; if he was sad, she was sad, if he was happy, she was too, and if he was mad, she would be as well.

"How long we gotta be here?"

"Just one hour, Kate… that's not too bad."

The child scrunched up her face, "An hour! Dat's like a gajillion minutes!"

"It'll go by fast, I promise!" The door opened and a group of teenagers entered. "I'll be right back, Katie. Stay here, unless someone messes with you, ok." The little girl nodded as he stood, making his way over to the counter.

His foster sister smiled at him, waving as he worked.

A familiar face approached the register, "Hey, Darby!"

"Hello, Vince… what can I get for you?"

"How bout, a number four and a strawberry milkshake," the bully's face twisted into a grin, "Hey, Darby, I been seeing ya with that little kid. She your sister or something?"

Jack glared, "Do not mess with my sister! Oh, and that'll be three twenty-six." Vince slammed the money on the counter. "Thank you… sir…"

As the bully walked away, Jack felt a tugging on his pants leg. "Jack?" Katie stood by him, her blue eyes staring into his gray ones. "You ok?"

"I'm fine…"

"He make you mad…?"

"Yea…"

"Why?" Katie looked at the bully.

The boy knelt down and whispered, "Because, he's a bully. Now go sit down; I'm just fine." With a nod, the girl skipped off to the booth, continuing to watch her brother.

Jack stretched as his shift finally ended. "Hey Kate, ready to go?"

"Yea!" She hopped from her seat, her two pigtails bouncing joyfully. Grasping his hand, dragging her brother towards the door. "Come on! Let's go!"

Leaving the diner, the heat blasted their faces but they didn't falter in their steps. The sound of rock music reached Jack's ears; grabbing his phone he answered, "Hey Mom! I'm good, and yes, Katie is fine. I'm gonna take her to the theater. She wanted to go see Frozen, isn't that right Katie?"

"Yea!" As Jack continued to converse with June, the child glance around at the few cars in the parking lot. One particular vehicle caught her attention; parked near the door was a blue and pink motorcycle. "Bike!" Tottering over, she touched the front wheel.

"Katie, what are you doing?" Jack placed his phone in his pocket, approaching the girl, "Oh, you like the motorcycle."

"Yea! Pretty bike! Jack, can I ride it?"

He shook his head in defeat, "It's not mine. But…" Picking her up, Jack sat on the bike with the girl in his lap. "I'm sure that the owner won't mind us just sitting on it."

"Hey Jack!" The two turned and saw a girl about Jack's age.

Jack's face flushed pink, "Oh, hi there Sierra…" Katie looked at her brother questioningly. Why was this girl making him so nervous? "What's up…?"

"Nothing… just getting ready to head to cheer practice. Oh, and who is this?" Her eyes glimmered as they set upon the toddler in Jack's lap.

Jack smiled, "This is my… sister, Katie."

"Oh, she is just the cutest thing!" The girl's smile brightened. "You know, if you ever need a babysitter I would just love to do it! Let me give you my number." Pulling out a piece of paper, she wrote down the number and handed it to the boy.

Jack took the paper. Man, he should've introduced Katie to Sierra sooner. "I'll… give this to my Mom. She's always looking for a babysitter."

"Oh thank you!"

He was about to say something more, when the group of them were blinded by the headlights of two cars at the parking lot entrance. "Who are…? WHOA!" Jack grabbed the motorcycle's handlebars and Kate as the bike reared up and sped out of the parking lot.

I ended this one where StarLight did but most of my chapters will end up being longer. I hope you guys like it!
