JumpJet: ... *lets go of the vet* Bella? *recognizes THOSE sounds*

Francisco: *snatches up one of the babies and turns to show it to Master! His throat is just a pulsing with silent speech*

JumpJet: *excuse her, she's going to cover her optics with her hand and cry*

vet: *sits up, grumbling, then scans the little thing that just crept over to look at him* Yeah, those are yours, JumpJet. Can I go back to the game now?

Red Alert: *surprised* How did JumpJet's baby shoulder angels get into our ceiling? *stops and shoots Belladonna a Look* Never mind. I remember.

Belladonna: *gonna start trying to herd babies. Sees no Look!*

Benny: *urging the little ones to obey their mother*

babies: *yawning, lagging, laying on the floor. Being perfect little angels*

Beauty: *crooning and chirping, will help Bella herd babies*

JumpJet: *incoherent response*

Red Alert: *rises to his feet now that the babies aren't leaning on him anymore. Puts a hand on the tall Mak woman's arm* JumpJet, pull yourself together.

Benny: *has the net bag and a baby, is carefully putting one into the other as he croons*

baby: *flails! Do not wanna miss fun stuff!*

Belladonna: *fussing and herding babies toward the bag. Can see what you're doing, Benny, and it's a good idea!*

Francisco: *comes over and helps to hold the bag open, then pokes in the baby he's holding*

baby2: *ooooo. This again!*

Beauty: *helping load babies, crooon, crooon*

Red Alert: *decides to try a distraction technique on JumpJet* *snags that one little female hatchling and turns her over* This one has a black chin.

JumpJet: *circulates for a few moments and then takes a look, her optics bright* *soft snerk* Like Frankie.

Red Alert: *glances at the male, who just spanked the flailing baby, then looks back up at JumpJet* Francisco's not a Jade Dragon.

JumpJet: He's from the same clutch she is.

Red Alert: *brows quirk, and he looks back down at the baby he's holding* Why did Belladonna put them in the ceiling?

JumpJet: ... The *bleep* 'f I know.

Red Alert: It's like she abandoned them. *frown*

JumpJet: *frown, think think think* 0_0

Red Alert: *winces at that expression* What is it?

JumpJet: I know why. She prolly thought they were dead, like 'er first ones.

Red Alert: *sucks in air* Her first clutch died?

black-chin baby: :p *found a wiggle thing!*

JumpJet: *small nod and a soft sigh* She laid 'em 'round the time you lot showed up. Stressin' 'n fussin' over Frankie after he got hurt...

Red Alert: *sympathetic second wince as he glances at the blustering new mother*

Francisco: *intent expression as he watches Master and friend, waiting to get that last little daughter back*

JumpJet: *small head shake, focuses on the present* *to Red Alert* Where's yer kid?

Red Alert: *surprised and questioning look* What? Why?

JumpJet: Well, you've already got yer own scrapheads, 'n ya found the clutch.

Red Alert: *touched. He knows how long the waiting list for a Jade Dragon (and for a baby from Francisco and Belladonna!) is* *quietly* Thank you. He'll love it.

JumpJet: Have 'im call me when he gets back.

Red Alert: *nods* I'll do that. *glances at Sideswipe as she murmurs and swats a shoulder angel kiss away*

Belladonna: *getting a bit cross. Wants to get home, where babies can be safe!!!*

Beauty: *fusses over Lady*

Benny: *looks up from the lady at Belladonna's grouchy sound* Pttth!

JumpJet: ...The *nope?*

Red Alert: He just learnt it from Skids. *offers the black-chinned baby to JumpJet, only noticing as he does so that the baby has her tongue out and is wiggling it*

JumpJet: *snorts* Crazy-*aft* Stringers. *will gently tuck the black-chinned babby into the bag with her siblings*

black-chinned baby: *as she's tucked in* Ptthh! 0_o?

JumpJet: *SNORT*

Belladonna:*fuss fuss fuss*

Francisco: ... *sniffing the babies to see who was gassy, confused by lack of gas smell*

JumpJet: *will get the bag and offer it to Francisco* The kids're fine, dumb*aft*. Let's git home so Bella'll quit glitchin'.

Francisco: *takes the bag and holds it carefully, then starts walking the right way to go home*

black-chinned baby: Pttth!

Belladonna: *follows Mate, fusses over babbies through the bag*

JumpJet: *squares her shoulders so nobody outside will know she's wibbly*

Red Alert: *impulses honed by family experience have him hugging the tall Mak woman before he can think about it*

JumpJet: *startles at that*

Red Alert: *backs off* Sorry. Inferno thinks a hug cures everything.

JumpJet: *soft snort* That kid... Keep yer nose clean. *will head off after her shoulder angels*

Red Alert: *watches her go, and then mutters about not having a nose as he turns to stoop and gently shake Sideswipe's shoulder*

Sideswipe: *muzzy frown*

Red Alert: *quietly* Let's get you back to your quarters.

Sideswipe: *frowwwwwn, is trying to make sense of what you just said, Red Alert*

Red Alert: Bed?

Sideswipe: *slow nod once she's made sense of that*

Red Alert: *sighs at the failure of his hopes of a nice afternoon with a pretty girl* Alright, Beauty. Bring her.

Beauty: *soft croon, will move to gently pick up Lady. Then she'll chirp to Benny. Master likes this one as possible Mate!*

Benny: *yes! Let's take the lady so Master can snuggle. Master likes snuggle!*

Beauty: *yes! You get Master's blankets ready!* *soft croon*

Benny: *quick kiss for Mavis, and then scoots away with his head down and his tail up!*

Mavis: *snorts, and then asks to be picked up*

Red Alert: *scoops her up and then turns and starts toward Sideswipe's quarters* This way, Beauty.

Beauty: *chirps and scoots after Benny*

Red Alert: *startled expression as he hears her footsteps retreat* *quick turn* Beauty, what are you doing? She needs to go this way!

Beauty: *crooning and chirping as she follows Benny*

Sideswipe: *confused sounds*

Benny: *so happy up there that he starts singing*

Red Alert: *sighs and gives chase, his mind going to a bumper sticker that he's seen Optimus wear*

Beauty: *sing sing sing!*

Red Alert: *scowling as he follows the shoulder angels into his family's quarters* No no no! This isn't where we need to bring her! Come with me!

Benny: *singing too loud to hear what sounds like scoldies!*

Beauty: *ditto that!*

Sideswipe: *so bewildered and dazed*

Red Alert: NO! That is MY slab!! STOP!

Sideswipe: *bit of a squeak. Understood THAT*

Beauty: *Benny, you bring Master!*

Benny: *sing sing sing! Come on, Master! Here is nice lady to snuggle!*

Red Alert: *protesting!*

Sideswipe: *bit of a squeak as Red Alert is added to the slab as well. He kind of got her in a ticklish spot when he landed*

Beauty: *crooooooon, fuss over Master and Lady. You snuggle, yes?*

Red Alert: Sideswipe, I'm sorry. The shoulder angels are rebelling.

Mavis: *happy snuggle sound*

Red Alert: Not you, too!

Sideswipe: .>.<. Ticklish...

Beauty: *croooooooon! Matriarch, look!*

Firestar: *sits up on the bunk over Inferno's* Help me down, Beauty.

Red Alert: 0_0 'Star, I didn't know you were here.

Firestar: Date didn't go the way you hoped?

Sideswipe: 0_o Date?

Beauty: *happy crooning and singing as she moves to help Matriarch down*

Red Alert: It's not a date, the... *holds his head as his lights start sparking* Ohhhh.

Beauty: *croon, crooon, chirp, siiiiiing!*

Sideswipe: *faceplates heating* *quietly* Oh.

Firestar: *sits up as she's set by her brother, then belts him upside the head* Circulate, Red.

Red Alert: *quiet yelp, and then a mrrrf as Beauty pokes candy into his mouth* *groan* This won't fix things this time. Sideswipe needs to go to her own quarters.

Sideswipe: *quietly* Don' wanna.

Red Alert: *blinks and looks at her* What?

Sideswipe: Don' wanna leave.

Red Alert: You... don't? *lights starting to slow down*

Sideswipe: Snuggle?

Red Alert: *looks at his sister and is yawned at* Alright. *lays down carefully between the two women*

Beauty: *soft, so soft, croooon*

Firestar: *quiet sigh as she snuggles against her brother's side, shutters her optics, and opens the entertainment file she'd been watching when Red Alert and Sideswipe came in*

Benny: *quiet and soothing song*

Mavis: *soft snore*

Sideswipe: *snuggles against Red Alert with a quiet little sigh. She's already feeling better*

Beauty: *nuzzles Benny. We nap on other bed for now?*

Benny: *arm around Beauty as he washes her face* *gives kissies before going to bed. Misses Baby*

Beauty: *soft hum. Misses Baby as well, but Purple Lady promised Baby would be safe and would have fun with other babies*

Benny: *soft agreement sound, and then turns and goes to Baby's bed. Talks about how Matriarch had been up on the place over Baby's bed*

Beauty: *will move to join Benny in Baby's bed. Thinks up there is a neat place to sit, but it makes snuggle time a bit tricky*

Benny: *bets that someday hatchling babies will like up there* *squiggles around on his back on the slab, making funny little sounds*

Beauty: *soft sound almost like a chuckle, thinks you're right, Benny. Will use you as a pillow once you're done being silly*

Benny: *goes to sleep hugging his mate and singing softly with his feet in the air*

Red Alert: *soft moan in his sleep. He's made his head hurt. Probably going to need another day off tomorrow*

Sideswipe: *snuggles close, using his chest as a pillow*

Skids: *peeks in, snerks softly, and then goes to head out into the city and find something good to eat*
