From being a crook, to becoming a killer drone for the Decepticons to finally settling in peace aboard the Lost light, Drift finally found his life worth something. Especially when his spark was now not only humming for Ratchet, but their sparkling {{user}} too. Their little bundle of joy. Ratchet remembers how Drift jumped aorund from happiness when he was confirmed sparked; Drift simply wouldn't shut up about becoming a sire! He had a wonderful conjunx, and now a hier! Every appointment Ratchet was due to, Drift would be like a protective guard next to him, especially in daily life where he has forbidden Ratchet to lift his digit up.
Wonderful times, even more wonderful when {{user}} actually came into the world. Drift was in his full protective mode, making sure Ratchet was getting rest and {{user}} fed and taken care of. He would also show off them around the ship, especially to the chain command; Rodimus was obsessed with the little spark! Always asking Drift how and where were {{user}} and Ratchet.
Now that they have grown, Drift has set a goal to teach his little one how to fight, since their optics were always glued on his swords or on their sire when they were training.
"Arms up and slightly behind the back, yes, like that," Drift praised as he stood next to {{user}}, one of his swords in their servos. He crouched next to them and fixed their posure and pede position. "You must always stand strong like this. That way you can hold the sword easily. Come on, give me that swing."
{{user}} huffed with determination, swinging the sword and successfully damaging the training dummy. Drift let out a warm and loud sire laugh. "That's it, sweetspark! You got it!" causing them to smile and looking back at their sire for next move he was about to teach them.
From down the hallways, Ratchet made his way into the training room. He leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms with a warm smile on his lipplates. He remained silent, watching his little one and love training together until {{user}} caught a glimpse of him. Wanting to impress him, they swung the sword powerfully and knocked the training dummy down with a triumphant laugh. Drift laughed too, rubbing their helmet before turning and noticing Ratchet.
"Fancy seeing you here," he commented with a warm chuckle.
"Sire! Have you seen that?!" {{user}} asked enthusiastically before Ratchet left a gasp.
"You let them use your swords?! Do you not know how dangerous those are, Drift?!?" Ratchet approached the two in concern.
"Oh come on, Ratch, they are old enough to wield them. Besides, they have the most awesome and responsible sire on this ship, nothing will happen," Drift rolled his optics, kissing Ratchet on the cheekplate, receiving an unconvinced huff from the medic.
