A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter fifteen of this story. Here, we return to Lynn, but first we check in with Ronnie Anne.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
It was another morning in Royal Woods, Michigan. Ronnie Anne had woken up and was ready for a new day. She headed downstairs where her mother was making breakfast.
"Morning." said Ronnie Anne.
"Morning." replied Maria.
Ronnie Anne sniffed the air.
"Cinnamon oatmeal." answered Maria.
"Okay." said Ronnie Anne.
"Sorry, I had to run to work late last night." revealed Maria.
"What happened?" asked Ronnie Anne curious.
"Bicyclist hit by a drunk driver." answered Maria.
"Please no details." begged Ronnie Anne.
"Too squeamish." mused Maria.
" don't want to lose my appetite." answered Ronnie Anne.
Maria chuckled a bit.
"Here you go." said Maria.
Maria served Ronnie Anne who began eating.
"How is it?" asked Maria.
Maria made herself a cup of coffee and sat across from her daughter.
"Delicious." answered Ronnie Anne.
"Glad to hear it." replied Maria.
Ronnie gulped worried.
"So...can we pick up Lorenzo?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"I don't know." answered Maria.
Ronnie Anne angrily slammed her fist on the table.
"I'm his freaking mother!" declared Ronnie Anne.
"That lack of maturity is why I am unsure." said Maria.
A knock on the door interrupted.
"Who could that be?" asked Maria.
Maria answered the door and was surprised by who it was.
"Hey mom." said Bobby.
"Mi hijo!" cried Maria.
Maria hugged her son while Ronnie came over.
"Hey Bobby." said Ronnie happily.
Ronnie shared a quick hug with her brother.
"What are you doing here?" asked Maria surprised.
"Lori and I decided to stop home and visit family." answered Bobby.
The trio went to the kitchen.
"So, how is school?" asked Maria.
"Good. I've a B average." answered Bobby.
"You're doing so well." said Maria.
"I wonder if she'd praise me like that anymore." muttered Ronnie Anne.
"What was that?' asked Maria sternly.
"Nothing." answered Ronnie Anne.
"I don't want you talking under your breath like that." stated Maria.
Ronnie Anne groaned.
"Attitude miss." said Maria.
"Um...did I miss something?" asked Bobby confused.
"Nothing." answered Maria.
"Just me being treated like a freaking child." said Ronnie Anne.
"I've warned you about your attitude!" snapped Maria.
Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes.
"What did I just tell you?" asked Maria angrily.
Ronnie Anne headed for the stairs.
"I'm going to my room." huffed Ronnie Anne.
Ronnie Anne stormed off to her room.
"Okay, what's going on?" asked Bobby.
"Your sister has been acting up a lot more lately. I'm starting to worry." answered Maria.
"Is this about that court case?" asked Bobby.
"That is part of it." confirmed Maria.
"Okay, what happened today?" asked Bobby.
"I'm not sure about her looking after Lorenzo." answered Maria.
"But, she's his mother." noted Bobby confused.
"Yes and she's fourteen." replied Maria.
Bobby couldn't deny that last part.
"Starting with her pregnancy, Ronalda has been showing a lack of maturity." said Maria.
"I can't argue being a fourteen year old mother was a bad idea..." began Bobby.
Maria nodded agreeing.
"But, everyone makes mistakes." noted Bobby.
"It seems like she's not learning from them." said Maria.
"Well, I haven't been around so I can't say." replied Bobby.
"I don't know what went wrong." sighed Maria sadly.
"Nothing went wrong." said Bobby.
"My fourteen year old is a mother. Something went wrong." said maria upset.
Tears began to build up in the eyes of Maria.
"I failed as a mother." said Maria sadly.
Bobby hugged his mother.
"I don't think you failed at all." said Bobby softly.
Maria sobbed for a few minutes while Bobby comforted her.
"I'm feeling better." said Maria.
"I'm going to talk to Ni Ni so I'll be right back." said Bobby.
Maria nodded.
"Here we go." thought Bobby.
Bobby walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Piss off!" snapped Ronnie Anne.
"It's me." noted Bobby.
"Go away." said Ronnie Anne, much less forceful.
Bobby opened the door and found hit little sister lying face first on her bed.
"I thought I said leave." stated Ronnie Anne.
"I can't do that Ni Ni." replied Bobby.
Bobby sat down on her bed.
"What's wrong?" asked Bobby.
"I shouldn't have comeback." said Ronnie Anne.
"What do you mean?" asked Bobby.
"I should have gone to Detroit and not returned." answered Ronnie Anne.
"But, we would have missed you." said Bobby.
"Better than dealing with this." huffed Ronnie Anne.
"Come on, tell me what's going on between you and mom." requested Bobby.
Ronnie Anne sat up.
"She keeps rubbing my nose in my mistakes!" snapped Ronnie Anne.
"There it is." thought Bobby.
"I know I screwed up and you don't have to keep reminding me!" declared Ronnie Anne.
"Mom thinks she's a failure." revealed Bobby.
"She does?" asked Ronnie Anne surprised.
"That's what she told me." answered Bobby.
Ronnie Anne was stunned by this news.
"Oh damn." said Ronnie uncertain.
A knock came and Maria opened the door.
"I've thought and decided we can get Lorenzo. You should be with him." said Maria.
Ronnie Anne got up and hugged her mother.
"Thanks so much mom." said Ronnie Anne softly.
Meanwhile, a similar reunion had happened at 1216 Franklin Avenue. Lori had dropped Bobby off then returned home with Leni. Their meeting had been quieter and filled with less drama. As things settled down and the Loud family went back to their own things. Lincoln and Leni went off to pick up wallpaper for the motel. Lori and Lucy where able to catch up and Lucy filled in Lori on the new discovery. Once she was finished talking to Lucy, Lori found Lynn under the tree outside tossing a football up and down.
"Hey superstar." said Lori.
Lynn rolled her eyes.
"Now Lynn..." began Lori.
"You're here to give me the same crap you did last time." stated Lynn.
"Maybe I am." said Lori.
Lynn started to get up.
"But, maybe I'm not." said Lori.
Lynn shot her sister a confused look.
"Can I literally join you?" asked Lori.
"Free country." answered Lynn skeptical.
Lori sat down next to Lynn.
"Lynn, we want to help you. That is literally why we keep this up." said Lori.
Lynn rolled her eyes.
"Pride ls dangerous." said Lori.
Lynn rolled her eyes.
"It's literally one of the seven deadliest sins." added Lori.
"So I guess you shouldn't be proud of your golf success." mused Lynn.
"Then you can't be proud of your athletic success." replied Lori.
Lynn winced.
"That is not the same. The pride in not admitting something is wrong is what I am referring to." explained Lori.
"I..." began Lynn.
"Don't give me the "there's nothing wrong" crap." said Lori firmly.
Lynn took a moment and laughed.
"What's funny?" asked Lori confused.
"This whole thing is rich coming from the girl who can't admit she has a farting problem." answered Lynn.
Lori took a deep breath and looked around.
"Okay, I have a farting problem. I admit it." said Lori.
"Glad you admitted it." said Lynn.
"Now you need to admit you have a problem." said Lori.
Lynn tensed up.
"Everyone needs help. It's not a sign of weakness." said Lori softly.
Lynn debated with herself.
"Under one condition."said Lynn.
'Go ahead." said Lori.
"Did you really go streaking?" asked Lynn.
"It was dark, nobody could see and it was short." answered Lori.
"I'm sure the guys watching loved it." replied Lynn jokingly.
"It was just the other girls. The only one I knew was Carol." sad Lori.
Lynn snickered before taking a deep breath.
"People won't let g of the whole abortion thing." said Lynn.
"I don't understand." noted Lori.
"You where there. You heard me bring that up." said Lynn.
"Yes, but I don't see how that is still a problem." replied Lori.
"Lincoln keeps saying how terrible an idea it was. I get it. You don't need to hit my over the head with it." explained Lynn venting.
"I get it now." mused Lori.
"It sucks." sighed Lynn.
"Don't tell mom or dad. I don't want to drag them into this." requested Lynn concerned.
Lori shook her head.
"I don't think I'll need to do that." said Lori.
Lynn smiled.
"Thanks. This helped." said Lynn.
Lori smiled back.
"No problem." said Lori.
The two shared a hug and Lori went back inside.
"That was beautiful." said Lucy.
Lori jumped into the air.
"Sorry." said Lucy.
Lori calmed down.
"It's literally been a decade and I'm not used to it." sighed Lori.
"We need to figure out to keep that issue from coming up." noted Lucy.
"How did you..." began Lori confused.
Lucy's pet bat Fang landed on her shoulder wearing a wire.
"Lisa." said Lucy.
"Does she know?" asked Lori.
"I tried to snag this, but she caught me and I came clean." explained Lucy.
"Good. But, I want to get Luna and Luan in on this." said Lori.
"Lincoln! Ronnie Anne and her mother are coming to pick up Lorenzo tomorrow!" called Rita.
"And the situation gets literally sticker." groaned Lori.
"Sigh." added Lucy flatly.
A/N: That's where we'll end this chapter. So, Ronnie Anne and her mother might have a chance and fixing things and Lynn's problem has been revealed. Anyone else sensing a parallel? Next time, Ronnie comes to get Lorenzo while Lori talks with Luna and Luan. Please review.
