A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter nineteen of this story. Here, Rita talks to Lynn Jr. and we focus on Lincoln.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House

It was a new day in the Loud House. The Loud family went about their day as usual then came home once the day was done. Diner went smoothly and the kids went back to their usual business. Lucy said she was going to write poetry in the attic, but this was merely a cover. Lynn Jr. went back to her room, but got a visitor.

"Hi dear." said Rita softly.

"Hey mom." replied Lynn flatly.

"Can I come in?" asked Rita.

"Whatever." answered Lynn deflated.

Rita entered, shut the door behind herself and sat on the bed.

"So...I know something is bugging you." began Rita.

"Who ratted?" asked Lynn angrily.

"As you mother, I could see it myself." answered Rita.

Lynn clearly didn't but it.

"It seems to happen when a certain issue comes up." mused Rita.

Lynn winced at the possible mention of it.

"I won't say what since it's clearly a touchy subject." said Rita.

"Thanks." muttered Lynn.

"It really hurts when that is brought up." noted Rita.

"Yeah." confirmed Lynn.

"Do you want me to talk to the others?" asked Rita.

"They all know already." answered Lynn.

"Not all of them." sighed Rita.

"What do you mean?" asked Lynn surprised.

"Your father doesn't know the details." answered Rita quickly.

"Okay then." shrugged Lynn.

Rita was relieved to see Lynn buy this.

"I do want to know...why didn't you tell us?" asked Rita.

Lynn winced.

"I didn't want to see weak." answered Lynn softly.

"Showing your emotions is never a sign of weakness." stated Rita.

Lynn seemed to take this to heart.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" asked Rita.

"Why is this happening?" asked Lynn sadly.

Lynn balled her fists.

"I wasn't advocating it. Hell, I'm they didn't get an abortion. I just mentioned it." continued Lynn upset.

Lynn began to shake.

"And now I have to keep having that thrown in my face." said Lynn.

Rita hugged her daughter.

"I'm so sorry Lynn." said Rita.

"That's why he left." whispered Lynn.

"What do you mean?" asked Rita confused.

"When I mentioned that, Lincoln stormed off then ran away that night." answered Lynn.

"Honey, you can't blame yourself." said Rita.

"It's my fault." said Lynn sadly.

"It's not! It was a difficult situation and one that's in the past!" cried Rita.

Lynn saw her mother hurting over her own pain.

"Don't keep beating yourself up over it." said Rita softly.

"Okay mom." agreed Lynn.

Rita and Lynn ended their hug.

"In the future, please tell us if you feel like this." requested Rita.

"Okay mom." agreed Lynn.

Rita started to go.

"Mom..." began Lynn.

Rita stopped and looked at her daughter.

"Thanks." said Lynn grateful.

"Of course" replied Rita warmly.


Meanwhile, another pair of sisters where in their room. Luna and Luna where both in their bed. On the top bunk, Luna was strumming her guitar. On the bottom bunk, Luan sat up listening to Weird Al parodies on her phone. Luan was wearing headphones. However, a knock came at the door. To the surprise of both sisters, a nervous looking Lincoln was standing in the doorway.

"Hey Lincoln, what's up?" asked Luna.

Luna had stopped strumming guitar and Luan paused "Canadian Idiot" just over halfway through.

"I was hoping we could talk." answered Lincoln sheepish.

Luan started to get up.

"I'll let you two have privacy." said the comedian.

"Actually, I don't mind if you you stay. I could use your advice too." said Lincoln.

A confused Luan sat back down.

"Please let this be a break through." thought Luan hopeful.

Lincoln shut the door and sat on the beanbag chair.

"I need you to be totally honest..." began Lincoln.

"Okay." said Luan.

"No problem bro." said Luna.

Lincoln took a deep breath.

"Have...have I been too rough on Ronnie Anne?" asked Lincoln.

Both sisters where stunned by this.

"Well?" asked Lincoln.

Both sisters snapped back to.

"To be honest, I think you have." answered Luan.

"You've been Cold as Ice to her." added Luna.

Lincoln groaned.

"Sorry bro." shrugged Luna.

"No...I need the honest truth." said Lincoln.

"What brought about this sudden change?" asked Luan.

"I've been thinking lately about what people have said and I realize they might be right." answered Lincoln.

"It takes maturity to admit when you're wrong." said Luna.

Lincoln blushed a bit.

"What about all this about?" asked Luna.

Lincoln rubbed the back of his neck.

"I felt like everyone was siding with Ronnie Anne over me." answered Lincoln.

Luna jumped down and hugged her brother.

"We'll never take anyone over you." said Luna.

Luan joined in the hug.

"You're our brother." added Luan.

The hug was broken.

"I guess I just stewed in my bitterness so long it kinda consumed me." admitted Lincoln.

"It's cool bro." replied Luna.

"Happens to everyone." added Luan.

"Thanks for trying to talk sense into me." said Lincoln.

Lincoln blushed a bit.

"And...sorry I was such a jerk about it." added Lincoln.

"It's cool." said Luna.

"Water under the bridge." added Luan.

Lincoln thought for a moment.

"Luna, you said I was mature a few moments ago..." began Lincoln.

"Uh...yeah." said Luna confused.

"Well, I guess I have more maturing to do." sighed Lincoln.

"That's the first step bra." replied Luna.

"Remember, you're still a teenager." noted Luan.

"So, how do I get Ronnie Anne back?" asked Lincoln.

"A romantic song." answered Luna.

"Laughter is the best medicine." answered Luan.

"Let's get the others." proposed Lincoln.

"Okay." agreed Luna and Luan.

The ten sisters gathered in Luna and Luan's room.

"I think everyone is here." said Luan.

Lincoln looked around.

"I don't see Lynn." noted Lincoln.

"Don't worry about it." replied Luna.

Lincoln was puzzled, but figured he had bigger fish to fry.

"I don't know how much Luna and Luan have told you..." began Lincoln.

"It is so great to see you and Ronnie Anne are getting back together." said Lola relieved.

"Yeah. All this fighting was really starting to get old." added Lana.

"Well that'll save time." mused Lincoln.

"Lincoln, Great Grandma Harriet will be pleased." noted Lucy.

"Glad to hear that." replied Lincoln.

"Now she won't have the ghost of Elizabeth Bathory haunt you." said Lucy.

"What?" asked Lincoln, confused and worried.

Lily cleared her throat.

"Can we focus." requested Lily.

The others agreed to get back on track.

"Like, how are you going to get back together with her?" asked Leni.

"That's where I need your help." answered Lincoln.

"We'll literally do whatever it takes!" declared Lori.

"Yeah!" exclaimed the other sisters.

"Hey Lori, you and Bobby have had bumps." noted Luna.

"What does that mean?" asked Lori.

"I was just saying you and Bobby have had fights before like all couples." answered Luna.

"There was that time the twerp offended Ronnie Anne at school so we had our double date." mused Lori.

"The one where they kissed." added Lily.

The sisters cooed.

"Can we focus?" asked Lincoln.

"Whatever the case, I'm like, totes glad you're making up." said Leni.

"The reason I need your help is I don't know how to say I'm sorry." replied Lincoln.

"Just say it." said Lana confused.

"You didn't need us for that." added Lola.

"I believe our brother unit needs our aid in coming up with a method as to convey his feelings to Miss Santiago." noted Lisa.

The others gave her a confused look.

"Lincoln doesn't know how to apologize and needs our help." sighed Lisa.

"I made a card for Lola when I broke the head off her Barbie." said Lana.

"You what?!" asked Lola outraged.

"I guess you didn't know yet." answered Lana sheepish.

Lori quickly put distance between the twins to prevent a fight.

"Lincoln, I think the card idea is literally a good one." said Lori.

"I want to do more with that." said Lincoln.

"You could right a poem." suggested Lucy.

"That's a great idea!" exclaimed Luan.

"And I could help decorate." offered Lily.

"Awesome." said Lincoln.

The girls where all excited, but something still bugged Lincoln.

"So, where exactly is Lynn?" asked Lincoln.

The sisters shared worried glances.

"In her room." answered Lucy.

"Why?" asked Lincoln.

"One thing at a time first bro." answered Luna.

Lincoln rolled his eyes.

"Fear now, we will answer that after your feud with Ronnie Anne is over." added Lisa.

"Right. We need to focus on my idea." said Lola.

"I was thinking it." protested Lana.

The twin sisters began to fight.

"Something never change." sighed Lincoln.


Lynn Loud Jr. had spent hours lying on her bed looking at the ceiling. She was bored, but didn't want to dare come out fearing someone bring mention her bringing up abortion to Lincoln. However, the call of nature came and Lynn got up to use the bathroom. Lynn walked to the door and opened it, but found only a pitch black void where the hallway should be. A confused and disturbed Lynn looked around.

"Hello?" asked Lynn.

Lynn stepped into the hall and looked around.

"Is anybody here?" asked Lynn worried.

"You literally wanted him dead." said Lori's voice.

"You like, totes wanted him dead." said Leni's voice.

"What?" asked Lynn confused.

"You wanted him dead." said Lucy's voice.

"Where are you?" asked Lynn, growing more and more anxious.

"You wanted him dead." said Lola's voice.

"You wanted him dead" said Lana's voice.

Lynn turned around, but her door was gone.

"You wanted him dead." said Lisa's voice.

"You wanted him dead." said Lily's voice.

"Shut up!" cried Lynn.

Lynn crouched down and covered her ears with her hands.

"Go away!" screamed Lynn.

Lynn felt someone behind her. She jumped to her feet and turned around to see a stoic Lincoln.

"You wanted him dead." said Lincoln sadly.

Lynn felt her heart shatter. The ground beneath her feet then seemed to vanish and Lynn found herself falling down a bottomless void while Lincoln looked on sadly.

"No!" cried Lynn guilt ridden.

Lynn shot up in her bed. Her heart was racing and her body covered in a cold sweat. Realizing it was a nightmare, Lynn laid back down.

"This sucks." groaned Lynn.

A/N: That's where we'll end things. This story is nearing its end as Lincoln wants to make amends with Ronnie Anne, but there's another pressing issue that needs to be addressed. By the way, the song Luna referenced is "Cold as Ice" by Foreigner. Next time, can Lincoln make it up to Ronnie Anne? Please review.
