((Morning after the Ratchet fixing.))

It's dark and still in Ratchet and Endeavour's room. All is calm, all is quiet....

Till something blows up massively in the front courtyard.

Ratchet goes from soundly offline to sitting up and ready to roar at Ironhide, only to stop short as he remembers that such vocal exertions might startle a certain unborn spark and cause her mother discomfort. Instead he listens to Jazz scolding and looks down at his sparkmate to see how she reacted to the explosion.

She grins. "I think I can manage walking a hundred feet or so."

She can't hold her laughter as she watches Columbia snuggle up to him. "I think she likes you."

He looks down at the sparkling, and gently strokes her head. "She's tired, aren't you, sweetheart?"

Then he glances at Jeimu and turns toward the door. "Let's get you two in bed."

Columbia nods and lays her head on her father's shoulder, watching with wide optics as Endeavour slowly climbs down from the table. "Sounds like a plan."

She's not woozy or unsteady or anything; she's just very tired, and her feet shuffle a bit as she heads for the door that Jeimu's holding open.
