Chapter 02 - Happy
. . . . .
His eyes bursted opened as the dream goes blur. He groaned, 'What a visit.' He sat up slowly, massaged his neck and get off his legs onto the bed.
He yawned as he stretched his shoulders and back, popped some joints. Suddenly, he heard a soft feminine gasped radiated from the corner of the room.
It was the voluptuous nurse from last night, "Oh, good morning, Nurse." He greeted cheerfully, his lips forming a bright toothy smile at her.
"Y-yes, good morning t-to you too, Lincoln." She was confused, and scared. Her patient is no longer looked like a corpse, if anything he look normal.
Real normal.
Not only he could stand normally on his own feet, which had been diagnosed as paralyzed from his severed spinal cord. That alone was abnormally strange, but his skeletal physique had also changed dramatically.
If last night, he looked like a victim of starvation, this morning he looked fitter. She was not thinking this just to be overly dramatic, but she swore she could make out a visible outline for abdominal muscles on his abdomen.
Gone was his pale skin, she could see that very clearly. His skin toned seems like a perfect ratio of tan and light that highlighted his adorable freckles all over his strange new physique.
The most bizzare difference is his height; he could be passed as a high-schooler with a height like that.
"You okay, Nurse?" Lincoln approached her, only for her to stepped back, "Did I have something on my face?" He rubbed his eyes, cleanse for any sandman's turd.
"N-nothing. It j-just... you could walk?"
"Yeah, I could." He approaching the busty nurse in slow but steady movements. "Looks like I would be sent home faster than you predicted." He smile at her, making her blush slightly.
It doesn't making any sense though. He was diagnosed paralyze from waist down but here he was, standing on his legs and walked just fine.
This is a gift from God, she thought as she eyed the white haired young man circling around the ward room. Clearly, God love this boy so much, that HE willing to help the boy to walk again.
Deep inside her, she smiled, "Well..." She started. "How about if you test whether you could really stand straight. Follow me." Which he did.
Where we found Lincoln and Tessa in the hospital rehab center where some of equipment that you usually could see in the gym were.
They were clad in their breathable outfit.
For Lincoln, he wear a pair of athletic shorts that clung tight to his backside and one-size-too-small T-shirt that hugged his leaner frame.
As for Tessa, she has a black breathable tank top that hugged her round bosom and black and yellowish leggings to hold her thick thighs.
"Now, try and walk from here, to there." She stated as she hold a clipboard and clock to captured the time he took from the vending machine to that yoga section.
Which is done by him in less than 10 seconds; its a long distance, so he actually did a very good job.
"Alright, try and run in a circle around this facility." She said, and he did just that.
Finished in less than 8 seconds; she impressed once again. The facility is wide and huge, the fact he could run is good enough, but being able to run that fast is absolutely good news.
Then, she asked him to jump as high as he could and as far as he could, which he did both of them and excell perfectly; he's like an Olympic material actually.
Right after that test, she one hundred percent sure that he finally healed, and are gifted with Olympic qualities.
She also took note that each time she asked him to do that tests; he never once panted for air, or need any mineral water or even need to rest. He just do it and suceed in all test without exhaustion.
This is bizzare. At least its a good kind of bizzare though.
"Ahem!" The two whipped their heads to the left where an elderly man with thick brown hair and black dyed mustache that resemblance Freddie Mercury's stood.
"Daddy!" Lincoln watched as the nurse that has been nice and kind towards him run to the elderly man and embrace him in a rib-crushing hug that seems soft because of her buxom bosom.
The man tapped her on the shoulder, "Okay okay, time out. Time out." She released him and he instantly took a breather. He look at her with a tired eyes, although smiling as he did speak, "Daddy is not getting younger, ya know."
"Sorry, daddy." The nurse smiled adorably at her father, who caught Lincoln approaching them both.
"You alright, Mr..."
When he notice that the boy doesn't know his name, he stand upright and spoke very clearly, "Potter. Donald Riley Potter."
"Its good to met you, Mr Potter." The Loud boy bowed slightly. A gentleman.
"Don is fine. Mr made me feel old than I already am." He laughed, which accompanied by Tessa. "Which remind me, you are that 'close-one' patient, right?"
The ashen-haired boy got confused with the label, "Close-one?"
The older man in the room nodded his head, "Yes. The boy, whose heart stopped beating for an hour, before he breath perfectly just before we wish to crematized your corpse."
"Daddy!" Tessa yelled at her father.
Donald, after seeing just how horrific Lincoln's expression looks like, coughed to gained the boy attention, "S-sorry about that, young boy. I could be real unsensitive sometimes."
Lincoln let out a faux smile, "Its okay, Mr Potter. I dont mind. The most important thing is that; I am still here. As healthy as I could be." He sincerely meant what he said.
"Alright. I apologized again for my unsensitivity. Now..." The older man face his attractive daughter. "QT-Pie, daddy has been called to the operating room and need your assist. Can you help?"
"Sure!" She exclaimed, albeit blushed madly. Her daddy just blurted out her petname out loud.
"Brilliant." Donald turn to face Lincoln, "I will return her back to you after we're done. No scratch, I promise." He teased the Loud boy and his daughter.
He sheepishly laughed at the joke; face is crimson, "Good luck with your operation, Mr Potter." He gave the man two thumbs ups.
Donald smiled, before leaving the facility with his daughter in tow.
"Before I completely forgot." Tessa stick her head through the door. "Lincoln, your family would be visiting you again today." She then produce a piece of document paper. "And if you want to go home, ask your parents to sign you out of the hospital with this document, alright?"
"Okay." His cheeks burned when the busty nurse throw at him a metaphorically kiss through the air.
"Bye~" She gave him a playful winks before leaving him completely alone in the facility, with nothing to do.
"Maybe I could jog again..." He take a running pose, before set his eyes at an interesting sight. He grinned with confident, "Or lift some weights."
. . . . .
When Lynn Senior, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy and Lisa saw him in his ward room.
They were stunned.
Lincoln's physical appearance completely change from last night they saw him.
Lisa listed every possibilities for how Lincoln could change from skeleton to normal in one night.
None of her theory made any sense, and the the father and sisters present doesn't care. What they care was, their only son and brother's health.
"Dang bro. I just thought that maybe I could train you to get fit again." Especially Lynn. "But then, you already working out." Though she care more about his fitness than anything.
"Its okay sis. I wanted to fill out anyway, because you only live once, right. Train me as much as you want Lynn, my body is belong to you." He, of course oblivious to what he just said.
Lynn's redden cheeks goes as the laughing stock for the family present, "I would hold to your promise."
Lincoln smiled brighly at her, "I promise Lynn." Then in a corner of his eyes, he spot Lucy, the oldest of his younger sisters. "Could all of you give me and Lucy some moment, please?"
The others doesn't why, but complied anyway. Before Lynn Senior close the door, his son called him, "Oh and dad, could you sign me out. I pass the health exam this morning. I can go home right away."
After hearing that, they all has a bright smile on their face before the middle-age man closed the door. Left his only son and daughter alone.
"Is this about last night?" Lucy asked. Her legs trembling, Poor girl, she must thinking he will be mad at her.
He sighed sharply, and put his hands on her shoulders. She, of course tense up with the contact, but didn't do anything.
But to her shocked, he circled her hourglass frame with his tone arms and hugged her comfortably tight from behind.
"Yes. This is about last night." He could heard she sniffled, and felt her tears drip down onto his forearms. "Hey, there's no need to be afraid." He shook her gently, like a mother embracing her baby.
"You're not angry?" Her voice was soft and small for him to hear. He caress her smooth raven hair with his lips, blowing some cool air to her ears.
"No. Why would I be?" He asked her.
"Because... I kissed you." She yelped softly when he squeezed her body tighter yet gently.
"That kiss. Is last night was your first kiss?" She nodded under his head. He softly rubbing the top of her hair with his chin. "No, its not."
He couldn't see it, but he know she was confused by that statement, "How so?"
He turn her around to face him, "Because," He leaned closer to her face. "Your first kiss is now." When his lips made contact with hers, her pale cheeks turning red.
Deep down she know this is wrong, but she already kissed him last night, so the damage was done. Besides, she love him.
And so she cupped his cheeks and prodded her way into his welcoming mouth and deepen her first kiss.
He too, did the same by pulling her waist closer to his body.
Her palms getting sweaty, her tongue feeling sore from all the tongue dancing but hell, she couldn't stop.
She won't anyway.
She never know when she will get this chance again. She would be absolutely dang if she let her brother's lips getting away from her.
So for now, she kissing him till her heart's content. It would not be long, for her breathing getting desperate in his mouth.
Sooner or later, she have to let go to get some air and when she did, she panted hard, "That was... wonderful."
He chuckled, "It really are." Suddenly, he lifted her up to mid air with zero difficulty, Thank you Angel, and lay her gently on his hospital bed.
He hover above her small physique, supported by his strong arms, "Luce... I love you." Brought their lips closer again.
The kiss was short lived as he let her go when she wanted to say, "I love you too Lincoln." They resume their second kiss for that morning.
Meanwhile, outside the ward room, with Lynn Sr. went to the receptionist desk, the brunette side of the Loud sisters had to wait till Lincoln let them in or he and Lucy come out of the ward.
After a few minutes waiting, Luna asking for the time, which responded by Lisa, who is the only one there with wrist watch, "11:34AM." She stated without emotion.
Luna sighed sharply before slumped on her metal seat. She then looked at Lynn, "You gotten pretty red in there, sis, looking at bro's abs and stuff." She grinned at her sport-loving sister frustrated groans.
The sporty Loud turned at the rocker, "I told you; nice abs making me blush." She turned away from the rest of her sisters. "Its not my fault that I found abs to be super hot. Especially from bro."
The rocker laughed, "I follow you, sis. Bro would got some good deal with that abs and muscles." She grinned back at Lynn.
"Please." The sporty Loud dismissed the hidden message. "Everybody know Lincoln is already a sweet guy. No girl couldn't fall for him, abs or no abs."
The rocker looked at Luan, who shrugged with her shoulders, "Alright." Luna turned to Lisa. "What time is it now?"
"11:40AM."
Luna groaned loudly, "What talk did they take to get this long?" She rhetorically asked no one in particular.
"Let just sit tight, and let them have their privacy, alright." Lynn calmed the rocker down. "I don't wanna repeat the incident."
The rocker rolled her eyes, before slumped back on her seat and just wait.
Lynn averted her eyes from Luna to the ward room; the mirror is one way straight because the ward room is for the most special case of patient.
'Don't worry, Luce. Your secret is safe with me.' She thought to herself. 'No one will know you love Lincoln.'
"Loud!"
Lynn and her other brunette sisters turned at the source; a girl, no older than Lincoln, with a white sweaty tank tops and a yellow sweatshirt tied around her waist, came towards them in a hurry.
"Santiago?" Lynn begin to smile as the hispanic tomboy, her new best friend since the event started, came closer and jumped into her embrace.
"I came here as soon as I heard from Bobby that Lincoln has woke up." She coughed a little and Lynn rubbed her back, "How is he? Where is he?"
Lynn let her go and point at the ward behind her, "In there, super healthy to check out from the hospital." The tanned-skinned girl then rushed to the door but the jock quickly block the hispanic. "Wait, Lincoln is in there with Lucy, talking."
Ronnie Anne Santiago maybe a tough rock in school, but deep down, she is a forgiving and understanding soul. She could only imagine what Lucy had been through when her sole brother was gone.
"Okay then. I'll wait."
Not a five second after the hispanic tomboy uttered those words, Lincoln and Lucy came out of the ward room, holding hands each other and both has a smile on their faces.
At least until they bumped into Ronnie Anne, his unofficial girlfriend and from this moment and so on, Lucy's competition.
"Lame-O!" The hispanic tomboy jumped infront of him and wrapped him in a tight hug that suprisingly, not to strong for him.
Lincoln's face was a mixture of suprise and happiness.
Ronnie lived to far away from Royal Woods, so her sudden appearance was really shocking, though he felt happy that not even a distance could break their friendship apart.
He hugged her back, and first thing he felt was how sweaty her tank tops has gotten, "Dang Ronnie Anne, you what, attend a marathon or something." He joked, though she not amused. "You're all sweaty."
She punched him lightly on the shoulder, "Shut up Lame-O. I came here using my board, not a bus with air conditioner."
"Your mom or aunt didn't drive you here?" Lincoln asked her.
"No. Busy." She groaned as she adjusted her soaked tank tops that has became like a second skin to her petite figure.
His cheeks got warm when he saw her dark brown nipples and an outline of her abs through her soaked tank tops.
'Do girls could have those?'
Unfortunately for him, Ronnie Anne saw him gawked at her. She smirking smugly as she tease him more with a bit of flashing.
An act that went unnoticed by each sisters present around them, except for Lynn and Lucy.
The latter watched the two, especially the mexican chick with hidden glare behind her bang, 'She wanted to take my future husband from me. I will not have that.'
Lincoln felt how the room suddenly felt heavy, thus he look at the glooming Lucy, and smile sadly at her. She sighed quietly before the gravity turn back to normal.
"Hey, champ!" They all turn to the father of the Loud family. "Lincoln, I has signed you out, so let's go home." And with that, the Loud and Ronnie Anne left the corridor without exchanging another words.
Afterwards, they descending down the stairs and out of the hospital, where they were all walked to the public parking lot.
The gravitation thingy make Lincoln wanted to talk with Lucy, and the are.
"Hey, Luce. What's wrong back there?" He watched as the eight years old pouted, though not noticeably.
"I'm sorry, brother. I'm just... felt a little envy seeing you and Ronnie Anne so close without have to worry about others opinion." Her porcelain burned softly as her future husband decided to wrapped his arm around her waist, pulled her close.
"Don't be, Lucy." He walked side by side with her to Vanzilla. "I'm yours and you are mine, remember." She nodded, remembered what they talk about while in the ward room. "Nothing gonna change that fact."
He pulled her closer to him, "Now, smile~"
Her pink-ish blush complimented her porcelain skin tone and she try to smile and Lincoln think to himself, 'She is so adorable and cute.'
"Dang. If I don't know any better, I would have guess you two are a couple." Ronnie Anne grinned at her unofficial boyfriend. She knew how much he hate that type of teasing; Incest is no joke.
"Actually," Lincoln pulled his sister closer by her waist. "We are a couple." Lucy went shocked for a moment. Fortunately, Ronnie Anne take that as a joke.
"Okay, you two. Hop in." Lynn Sr. exclaimed. Clearly, can't wait to see his wife reaction when their son came home faster than they have thought.
Lincoln glanced at Ronnie Anne, then back to his future wife, "Luce, how about if I did just this once?" She thinking it through and with a sigh, she nod. "Thanks Luce." Thus she left him alone with her competition.
"What was that all about?" The hispanic tomboy didn't get any answer, instead she went wide eyes as her unofficial boyfriend gave her a peck on her soft brown lips.
He retreated his head back, and smiled at her suprised yet blushing expression, before planted his lips against hers; this time with tongue.
They finally departed with bit of saliva connected their lips, "Take that as my parting gift for you."
Her mind was daze, her cheeks were warm but she fight through it, "Parting gift?"
He smiled brightly, "Yeah, I mean, you had to get back to the bodega. Consider this as a special see you later, aligator."
She trying to smile properly, but only got a goofy toothy grin, "I catch up with you for a while, crocodile."
"Smell you later, Ronalda." He gave her the finger gun.
"Not if I smell you first."
"Good-" He was startled when his sisters yelled at him to hurry. He sheepishly rubbed his head. "Okay, then. Goodbye, Nie-Nie~" He teased.
The hispanic nodded and grinned wonderfully, "See you later, Lame-O."
Then, he, Lucy and his brunette side of the family took off to their Loud house while Ronnie Anne is left alone.
"Better call Bobby to pick me up."
