A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter sixteen of this story. Here, Ronnie Anne comes to pick up Lorenzo and Lori talks with Luna and Luan.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
It was a dreary and overcast day in Royal Woods. The sky was gloomy and the ground wet from on and off rain. At 1216 Franklin Avenue, the Loud family where working together. For soon, it would be time for Lorenzo to depart.
"Okay..." began Rita.
The Loud matriarch entered the living room with a list. A few sisters where at the couching getting everything ready.
"Formula." began Rita.
"Present and ready to depart." said Lisa.
"Powder." said Rita.
Lucy held up a bottle of powder.
"Check." noted Lucy.
"Toys." said Rita.
"Check." said Lola.
"She even packed a few of her old toys." revealed Lana.
"I'm proud to hear that." noted Rita happily.
"He is my nephew." shrugged Lola.
"Diaper bag." said Rita.
"Check. And I made sure there are no dirty ones." said Lana.
"Please don't tell me you're eating dirty diapers." groaned Lola.
"That's sick." replied Lana cringing.
Rita looked around.
"Where are Lincoln and Lorenzo?" asked Rita.
"Probably in their dwelling." answered Lisa.
Lily jumped up.
"I'll go get them mommy!" declared Lily.
Rita giggled.
"Go ahead." said Rita.
Lily turned and raced up the stairs.
"Now we'll get to talk." thought Lily.
Lily raced upstairs and found Lincoln playing with Lorenzo in their room.
"Hey Lily." said Lincoln.
'Mom sent me up here to get you." said Lily.
Lily entered the room close by the door.
"I'm going to lose my son so I'm spending a little more time with him." huffed Lincoln annoyed.
"You're not losing him forever." noted Lily.
"Might as well be." sighed Lincoln.
Lily bit her lower lip.
"We need to talk." said Lily.
Lily closed the door behind her.
"Great, now what?" asked Lincoln annoyed.
"You and Ronnie Anne haven't been getting along lately and I don't like it." answered Lily.
"Bring it up with her." replied Lincoln.
"She isn't here right now, but you are." said Lily.
"Wonderful." said Lincoln sarcastic.
"I want this to stop and things to go back to normal!" declared Lily.
"Listen Lily..." began Lincoln.
"No! I don't want excuses!" snapped Lily.
Lincoln was taken aback by this.
"Big brother, you need to make up with Ronnie Anne." stated Lily.
Lincoln rolled his eyes.
"I am serious." said Lily hurting.
"You're too young to understand." said Lincoln.
"I'm not as naive as you think." replied Lily.
Lincoln wasn't sure what to make of this.
"What do you mean?" asked Lincoln.
Lily laughed softly.
"Do you remember when I got my first ice cream sundae?" asked Lily.
"Of course. That was awesome." answered Lincoln nostalgic.
"I spent the whole day making sure nobody caused trouble so I wouldn't be denied." revealed Lily.
"Sorry Lily, but I don't buy it." said Lincoln.
"It's like that lake monster I tried to tell you about." muttered Lily.
"Look, you'll get it when you're older." said Lincoln dismissive.
"I get you're acting stubborn." said Lily.
"I am not." replied Lincoln offended.
"The make up with Ronnie Anne already." demanded Lily.
"Not until she apologizes." huffed Lincoln.
"You're being a pain in the butt." groaned Lily.
Lily shook her head.
"You know I love you Linky." began Lily.
"Of course." said Lincoln.
"I feel really close to you. I look up to you." continued Lily.
"That means a lot." replied Lincoln blushing.
"But, you're letting me down right now." revealed Lily.
Lincoln felt a pain in his stomach.
"Lily..." started Lincoln.
Lincoln stopped and shook his head.
"You're just trying to guilt me." said Lincoln.
Lily turned around.
"Big brother, you need to think about what you're doing." said Lily sadly.
Lily left leaving Lincoln baffled.
"She can't be right. I mean...I have been tough. But, I have to be. Right." said Lincoln unsure.
Lincoln rubbed his face with his hands.
"Lincoln! Ronnie Anne is here!" called Rita.
"I almost forgot." sighed Lincoln.
Lincoln picked up Lorenzo and headed downstairs where Ronnie Anne and her mother where waiting.
"Hello Lincoln." said Ronnie Anne down.
"Hi." replied Lincoln uneasy
An awkward pause followed.
"Well..." began Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln shook his head.
"Here he is." said Lincoln flatly.
Lincoln handed his son over to Ronnie Anne.
"I can't thank you enough for watching Lorenzo for a bit longer." said Maria grateful.
"With eleven kids, I'm used to it." shrugged Rita.
"I guess he could count as twelve." joked Maria.
"Those days are finally behind me now." replied Rita.
"Hey, just two was enough for me." said Maria.
The two shared a laugh.
"Hey little guy." said Ronnie Anne.
Lorenzo looked happily at his mother.
"Are you happy to be back with mama?" asked Ronnie Anne.
Lorenzo answered with giggles.
"I'll take that as a yes." replied Ronnie Anne smiling.
Lincoln couldn't help but feel lonely as he watched this scene unfold.
"He looks good." said Ronnie Anne.
"That's no surprise." replied Lincoln.
"I meant you took good care of him." said Ronnie Anne.
Lincoln balled his fists.
"Why wouldn't I?" asked Lincoln annoyed.
"That's not what I meant." said Ronnie Anne upset.
Before he could retort, Lincoln saw Lily and recalled what she said.
"Whatever. I'm out." said Lincoln.
Lincoln went to his room with Luan and Luna behind him.
"Hey bro." said Luna.
"I'm not in the mood." said Lincoln.
Lincoln flopped onto his bed.
"Right now it's kinda important." noted Luan.
The two stood by his bedside.
"What?" asked Lincoln annoyed.
"You seem testy." answered Luna.
"We want to make sure everything is okay." added Luan.
"Everything is fine." replied Lincoln.
"You aren't fooling us." said Luan.
"Yeah. We just want to help." said Luna.
"Things between Ronnie Anne and I aren't great and it's starting to wear on me." confessed Lincoln.
"We kinda figured." admitted Luna.
"If you want to talk, we're here to listen." offered Luan.
"I'm doing talking for now." groaned Lincoln.
"Don't be a runaway little bro." said Luna.
"Been there, done that." noted Lincoln.
Luna mentally kicked herself.
"Come one, let's go." said Luan.
Luna was forced to relent.
"Later." relented Luna.
The two brunette sisters left Lincoln in his room.
"I guess Lincoln knows What Becomes of the Brokenhearted now." mused Luna.
Luan sighed
"What do we do?" asked Luan.
Lori approached the two.
"I can help with that." answered Lori.
The two followed Lori to Lisa and Lily's room. Lisa, Lily and Lucy where waiting. Lola and Lana where present both confused as was Leni.
"Good. Now that everyone is here we can begin." said Lisa.
"But, like, Lincoln isn't here." noted Leni.
"Neither is Lynn." added Lana.
"This is about them so we literally cannot have them here." said Lori.
"Whatever this is, can we make it quick." requested Lola.
"I am certain you have noticed changes in the behavior of our sister Lynn and brother unit." began Lisa.
"Can't you call them our brother and sister?" asked Lily.
"Fine." sighed Lisa.
Lisa took a moment to adjust her glasses.
"Both of them have issues and need our help." stated Lisa.
Lily and Lucy got up.
"I turn things over Lily and Lucy." said Lisa.
"Lynn feels bad because Lincoln bringing up her talking about an abortion and she feels like he won't let her forget it." said Lucy.
"I...didn't notice." confessed Luna guilty.
"We got so wrapped up with Lincoln and Ronnie Anne we didn't notice." added Luan.
"I literally would have done the same." said Lori.
"Lincoln is mad because he feels like Ronnie Anne put more work onto him by getting into that fight." said Lily.
"They should just apologize." shrugged Lana.
"They have." noted Lily.
"Then what's the problem?" asked Lola.
"Lincoln doesn't believe her." answered Lily.
"He's being a total..." began Lori.
Lori caught herself before saying something she shouldn't in front of the younger kids.
"Bonehead." said Lori.
"But, like, we all have bones in our head." noted Leni.
Lori responded by simple patting Leni on the head.
"So what do we do?" asked Lola.
"Yeah, how do we help them?" asked Lana.
Lisa cleared her throat.
"It seems our sister unit Lynne is triggered by triggered by our brother unity it seems the best course of action would be to aid our brother unity then it would be clearer for him to see the negative impact of his actions on our missing sister unit." answered Lisa.
The others gave Lisa a blank expression.
"We should help Lincoln first then it should be easier to help Lynn." said Lisa.
The sisters agreed with this.
"My vocabulary is wasted." sighed Lisa.
"But how do we help the dude?" asked Luna.
"I think we just have to get him to listen to Ronnie Anne." answered Leni.
"Easier said than done." noted Luan.
"I talked to him before Ronnie Anne got here and they didn't fight." said Lily.
"Let's hope that's a good start." said Lucy.
"Operation Help Our Siblings is a-go!" declared Lori.
A/N: that's where we'll end things for now. So, Lily might have gotten through to Lincoln and the sisters are united now. Does this mean thing will improve. Also, the two songs Luna referenced where "Runaway" by Bon Jovi and "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" by Jimmy Ruffin. Next time, the sisters put their plan into action. Please review.
