He had waited a while. about an hour. he hadn't seen her in five years.
Lincoln loud was 22 now, older, and wiser.
as wise as he can be anyway. he still had a problem with getting his dick wet.
and that's something he learn, don't fuck with someone whose with someone.
five years had past since he and Ruth greenwood had parted ways.
five years since they stopped the adultery.
five years since...well..
well now he stood at the bus station, in a orange hoody, and sweatpants. his hair combed his face clean and shaven. he was a big guy now. his sisters joked and nick name him Lincoln louder.
because he was a beef cake. umf.
he checked his watch, then looked out the window. he was nervous. he should be. she called him in the middle of the night. her voice had that raspy tone. soft but sweet all the same.
she inform him she was coming, coming back, and plan on staying. he rubbed his neck and sighed. she and Lincoln had an affair while ruth was still dating George. this was one of the reasons why they parted. they couldn't keep doing it. he loved her though. and when you love someone, you have to let them go. and that was the hardest thing he ever did.
the cold winds blew outside, dark, and raining. then, the bus came to a stop. his breath caught in his throat. his heart beat pump like mad. he watched the people descend from the bus, his blue eyes scanning and he saw red-wood colored hair. there she was. Luna's band mate (ROCKER QT) Ruth greenwood. she had a AC DC hoody. her hair didn't change at all. she looked as she did during her teen years, and into her 20's. but his eyes caught something else.
a little girl, she looked like ruth...but... it dawn on him. she didn't look anything a George and Ruth would look like if they had a kid. the small girl wore a cute little dress aqua green, and was in pig tails. he stepped close, but stopped, and simply waited until Ruth enter the building.
she carried luggage, the small one looked around in wander, her lips a wide smile her bangs like her mother's covered her eyes. and she held a mickey mouse plush in her arms. upon entering Lincoln looked at Ruth. the earth stood still for a moment.
"hey ru-"
she lunged at him and hugged him tight. he blinked and slowly wrap his arms and hugged her back, his eyes closed. and he never realized just how much he missed her. the small girl watched, tilting her head as she watched her mother hugged the big man.
after that. she parted and stood back, and looked him up and down. she grinned and looked down at the little girl. she placed her hand on top of the girl's reddish-brown hair. then looked at Lincoln loud.
"i bet your wondering who she is, huh?"
Lincoln blinked and looked at the small girl, she had small round buck teeth, freckled cheeks, a round nose, her hair, as mention was reddish-brown. her optimistic smile ever present.
"her name's ruby."
Lincoln looked at Ruth, she had a giddy grin.
"she's you're daughter."
his mouth dropped. then he looked at ruby who hugged her mickey mouse plush. she seem shy now, but looked up at him. and seem to wait for a response. he looked at Ruth.
"...what?"
Ruth shrugged. and just had her trade mark smile.
"when we left, i found out i was pregnant, and it wasn't George."
ah. Lincoln swallowed thickly. a daughter, he had a daughter.
he knelt down to meet the small girl face to face.
"Hi. i .. uh... i'm you're dad."
god that was awkward. was it right to say that right away? did she see George as her father, did she see him as a stranger? would she accept him as he is, or would he be overshadowed by geor-
she reached and touched his face. then stood silent, as if she was studying him. Lincoln got a good look at her, and yeah, ruby looked just like a blend of himself and ruth. ...huh.
she then wrap her arms around his neck and hugged him. he closed his eyes. a sudden overwhelming feeling. it hit him. he was a father. he has a daughter. holy shit.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
the door of his lonely apartment open and he entered, Ruth and ruby followed.
"sorry it's kinda small, you and ruby can sleep on the guest room"
Ruth smiled.
" that's sweet of you"
he rolled his shoulder and sniffed, he unzipped his jacket and took it off, he wore an ace savvy shirt, and Ruth took notice of his the outline of his barrel chest and his arms... god his strong arms... she drooled.
"hey, your my guest." he scratched his ear.
"i'm working on getting a bigger place."
he walked over to his fridge and pulled out a bag with pizza slices.
"i don't have much, but i got left over pizza"
he put it on a metal tray and placed in the oven.
"so...what do you do these days?"
Lincoln turned and walked over, sitting on the couch.
"i work at a book store, i go to college for animation and art, mom and dad at least help me with paying for it so..."
she sat down and stared at him.
"hows Luna?"
he paused.
"uh...she and Sam broke up pretty bad. but she and chunk are dating now"
Ruth chuckled.
"i always thought those two messed around"
Lincoln rolled his eyes.
"yeah, well i'm the reason why she and Sam broke up."
Ruth's lips turn to a small frown.
"i didn't get my di-"
he stopped himself.
"i didn't sleep with her, she was the one cornering me. i pushed her away and i left and-"
he sighed looking at his feet on the floor.
"i told Luna."
a pregnant pause.
"i'm not gonna betray my sister, hell I've hadn't dated anyone since we've..."
Ruth smirked.
"well i'm here now."
Lincoln nodded slowly.
"so what made you leave George."
she took a deep breath and looked at ruby who sat on one of Lincoln's bean bags and seem to have passed out, holding her plush. she looked at Lincoln and her dark red painted lips parted.
"he found out who ruby's father was... he started to question the day after her 5th birthday"
she looked at her hands, then comb her her bangs, revealing her light blue eyes. Lincoln sat up and pulled her close to him, she shook her head slowly.
"i'm sorry, i should have told you, but..but shit hit the fan when i came forward and..."
that's when he noticed the bruise on her right eye. his brows furrow in anger. that son of a bitch...
"hey, hey..it's okay, i'm here, i'll take care of you and ruby"
she choked a sob and shook her head.
"i can't ask you to drop everything for me, i'll make it on my own."
Lincoln sank his fingers into her redwood hair and pressed the side of her head against his forehead, eyes closed as he smelt her perfume.
"at least stay here, Ruth."
Ruth lean onto him and relaxed when his arm wrap around her.
"least until i get my own place."
Lincoln muttered.
"or we can get a better place of our own.."
Ruth didn't want to be a burden, but the offer was so tempting.
"but we hadn't been together in five years"
"then we can start where we left off, i still love you, and having a daughter-"
she pushed him away and shook her head.
"i can't, i'm not you're responsibility"
Lincoln stared.
"she's still my daughter, and i still love you...i don't see anything wrong in taking you in and caring for you, Ruth."
she looked at him.
"but you have your own life, your own goals, i can't just simply-"
he pressed a finger on her lips.
"don't be so negative, the Ruth i know would look at the bright side."
he smirked.
"besides, you won't make my life harder, you've only enhanced it."
she open her mouth and sucked on his finger. he blushed as he watched his finger vanished into her plump lips. he blushed and he felt his groin respond to this-
something was burning.
"SHIT THE PIZZA!"
He pulled his finger out of her mouth with a wet pop, she watched him rushed, ruby awoke. Lincoln pulled out the tray with a mitten- pizza was fucked to hell. the fucking noid strikes again!
"...so...how about i take you two to Chinese?"
Ruth smirked.
"that sounds bitchin' "
