chapter 4 growing up.

7 months later. Megatron's wife Nightblade had just last month given birth to his heiress. They named her Moonfire. She was the sunshine of their lives.

At the Autobot base. Starscream is now 7 months old. He is a very happy sparkling. Starscream at the moment was being held by Scavenger. Starscream was cooing. Scavenger was babysitting while Optimus, Elita, Hot shot and Side swipe were out. Starscream started bouncing around. He wanted to play not be held. When Scavenger gently tightened his grip Starscream cried he was trying let Scavenger know he was bored. Scavenger nearly jumped, but he couldn't with Starscream in his arms. "What's wrong?" Scavenger asked. Starscream squirmed around. Scavenger figured Starscream must be bored. "Okay I guess you could use a little play time." Scavenger said. He got Starscream's toys especially Starscream's favorite toy Cuddly the cuttlefish.

Put down the play blanket and put the toys down and place Starscream on the blanket and allowed Starscream to play. Starscream picked up some blocks and placed them down he was busy. He was stacking them. Starscream then turned his attention to his rings he dumped them down and put them back on in an odd order. Starscream began to play with with his shapes and placing them in the box. Starscream's tanked growled and he started to cry. Scavenger gave him his bottle. Starscream held it and began to suck on it. He finished up and burped. Scavenger then picked him up so he could be feed his sparkling food. Scavenger began to feed him. Starscream was eating it. After he was a mess. "Okay bath time little one." Scavenger said. He filled the tub with water and placed him inside Starscream. He looked up at Scavenger who took out a rag and began to scrub him. Starscream giggled when Scavenger started to do his feet. It really tickled! Scavenger pulled out the now clean sparkling and began to dry him off. Once in the warm dry towel Starscream yawned.

"Looks like you need a nap." Scavenger said. As if to agree Starscream yawned again. Scavenger put a new clean diaper on him and put him in the crib and tucked him in. Starscream was asleep the moment he was laid in the crib.

Optimus, Elita and their eldest boys came in. Starscream was awake now and on the floor. Starscream saw his family he got on his front and got on all fours at first started to rock and then began to move across the floor! He made it all the way to his family and crawled to Scavenger and when the others came in he was crawling all over the place. "Video camera get the video camera!" Elita said. They shot videos and Starscream was the star. "Our baby brother is growing up." Side swipe said. "Yes," Hot shot agreed.

Optimus and Elita baby-proofed the base so that way Starscream wouldn't get hurt.

Red alert came in. "Starscream needs a check up, I want to make sure he's growing like a healthy sparkling should." He said.

The next day.

Red alert was waiting. Elita came in with Starscream. She placed him on the table. First Red alert weighed him. Next he measure him. Checked his reflexes. Took his temperature. Listened to his spark and intakes. Looked in his optics, audios and olfactory sensors. "He's very healthy." Red alert said. Red alert got out a needle. "He needs a shot," Red alert said. He grabbed Starscream's arm and gave him the shot. Starscream let at a small surprised cry. Red alert applied a band aid. Red alert then got out a ball with a yellow star on it. Red alert handed it to Starscream. Starscream held it in both his hands and giggled. Elita smiled. "He was such a good patient and a good sparkling he deserve a reward." Red alert said. Elita thanked him and Starscream hugged him. "You're welcome Starscream." He said.
