The past few days had been some of best of Lori's life, she literally couldn't remember what it was like before her sweet baby boy made her a mommy. She was on the couch playing with and getting ready to feed her precious love, when her cell phone rang "o hey dad" "hey honey, just calling to tell you that we'll be home in a few hours" "o ok" "love you, love you to honey" "dat were gwandpwa mama?" "yes baby that was grandpa they'll be home in a few hours" Her baby started to get scared, "wa we dwo mommy?", he asked crying. Without a second thought she gathered her baby in her arms as she fed him and rubbed his back soothingly, "don't worry about that love", she cooed as the warm milk soothed her baby more. "just remember what mommy told you, she'll protect you with everything she's got no matter what."
After Lori put the tired little one to bed, she went downstairs, taking the baby monitor just in case, and decided to watch a little tv before her family came home. Even though she was a little nervous about how they would react to her new baby she had every confidence that they would come around, if not then they weren't worth it. She was broken out of her little inner monologue by the sounds of vanzilla pulling into the driveway. She waited with baited breath as she heard the excited chattering of her family, "Lori, Lincoln we're home Lynn sr. announced. "Hey guys", Lori cheerfully greeted pulling them all into a group hug, "how were you and Lincoln?" "Oh we were great, never felt closer with my little ba brother", she replied with a smile that Lynn saw was exactly the same smile Rita had when she held each of her babies, but he thought nothing of it, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Where is the little doofus anyway?, Lynn jr. asked. Although Lori really wanted to tear her head off, for insulting her baby boy, she simply answered, that he was sleeping. "guys there's something that you need to know about Lincoln , can you come upstairs with me? " The family followed her, and to their surprise were lead to Lily and Lisa's room. "please try to be quiet", she instructed as she softly opened the door. All the sisters and Rita and Lynn were silent for a few moments, more out of shock than necessity, after all it's not everyday you find your preteen son/brother sleeping peacefully in a crib and sucking on a paci. Lori made the first move, as she carefully walked over, to the crib to hold her little baby, and to keep him calm. As the little baby slowly woke up from his mommy's gentle touch, the family couldn't stop the collective "awwwwwww" from escaping them, as Lincoln saw his family he quickly tried to hide in his mama's arms and started crying, "shhhhhh shhhhhh, my angel mommy's here, mommy's got you, this in turn prompted another awwwwww from the family. Rita stepped up with a smile, "I have a lot of questions, but what I wanna know first if I can hold him?"
