chapter 2

Hot rod was cooing in Kup's arm's. "You are a cute little fella." Kup said. Hot rod was then put in his carriage. Kup had decided to take Hot rod out for a walk.

Just as he started to stroll a femme a came over and started to gush. "Oh he's so cute! What's his name Kup?" She said. "Thank you his name is Hot rod." Kup said. "Did you adopt him?" She asked. "Yep, he's very sweet." Kup said.

Then Optimus came over. "Elita what are you looking at don't we have to take care of Bumblebee?" He asked. "Hello Optimus." Kup said. "Good to see you Kup." Optimus said. "Look Optimus Kup adopted a sparkling, his name is Hot rod." Elita said. "He sure cute maybe Hot rod and Bumblebee will make ideal playmates." Optimus said.

Hot rod started crying. Kup picked him up. "There, there Hot rod." He said patting his back. "BURP!" Hot rod said. Kup, Elita and Optimus stared. Hot rod sighed and snuggled into Kup. "Aw!" Elita and Optimus said. Kup smiled. Hot rod rod kissed Kup. "Yes I love you too," Kup said. Optimus took Bumblebee out of his carriage. "Bumblebee this is Hot rod." Optimus said.

Bumblebee cooed and reached out to Hot rod. Hot rod reached out to Bumblebee.

"So what orphanage did you adopt him from?" Optimus asked.

"Actually he was left on my doorstep 4 days ago, the little guy was only day old." Kup said.

"I see," Elita said.

Hot rod yawned. "Looks like he's getting sleepy." Kup said. Bumblebee yawned too. "He's tired too." Optimus said looking at Bumblebee.

"Well I better Take Hot rod home," Kup said. He placed him back in the carriage. He headed towards his house. Hot rod shifted and sighed in his sleep. Kup chuckled he could tell that the little fella was dreaming. But Kup didn't have slightest clue about what his newly adopted son was dreaming about. Kup knew that he was going to go through many things while raising Hot rod. There was going to be easy stuff and hard stuff. But all he knew was Hot rod was very special but he will soon know how special Hot rod really is.

Once inside the house Kup placed Hot rod in his crib. Kup knew he was an old dog but this kid will teach some new tricks. Kup was making his lunch he knew once Hot rod woke up he would be wanting his bottle. Kup was having some energon stew he had just finished eating when Hot rod began to cry for his for bottle. Kup got up, filled the bottle and began to feed Hot rod. Hot rod was enjoying it. Hot rod finished about 2/3 of it and turned his head away. Kup could see that Hot rod was full. Hot rod began cry he needed to be burped. Kup put him up to his shoulder and began to pat his back. When heard Hot rod burp he stopped. Hot rod yawned and went back to sleep. Kup knew that sparklings Hot rod's age just eat, sleep and cry. He also knew sleep was something that Hot rod needed to due a lot of because he had lots of growing to do. Sparklings also needed to eat plenty due to growth as well.

Kup can see Hot rod has a lot of potential as a soldier. It would be a while till then, Kup could enjoy Hot rod being a cute sweet little sparkling.
