We're now gonna see the aftermath of how Lincoln and Delilah are handling with the events from the attack from Sasha Alabaman and also see how the rest of the Louds are doing, and some might not be revealed because we'll know how they're doing soon. Enjoy reading this my friends.

Family of Two.

Chapter 227: Crisis dealt with, permanently.

(Royal Woods Hospital.)

We now see Lincoln Loud, with his mother Luna and the rest of the family escort him out of the place, his face has some bandages on still but he's not that badly hurt and he does look okay now.

"Feels good to be out of there and…" Lincoln is then hugged by Luna, Michelle and Delilah. He knows what this is about and he hugs them back. "Guys, it's okay now. What matters is that I'm fine and Delilah is alright too, after what we had been through the other day."

Luna sheds some tears. "Linc, you could've been taken away and then badly wounded, and I cannot let that happen to you kiddo, I don't wanna lose you to the same fate from the many bad moments, sweet child of mine."

"You risked yourself to save my daughter, you literally tried to help and fend off that monster who would've done something worst" said Michelle with tears. "Thank you, thank you Lincoln."

Lincoln smiles. "No problem." Then he sees Delilah looking down and not responding as she hugs him. "Delilah, don't be like that. Everything is fine now, see?"

Delilah wipes away her tears. "Lincoln I… I should've done more!" She then hugs the boy tightly, and this Luna and Michelle depart from the hug and watch as this happens, they know Delilah is feeling bad for not doing anything else to stop Sasha Alabaman and her relentless assault on them.

"She was after me, then you got scared, and then grew some courage and fought her, while I was just doing nothing but getting high on anesthetics!" Delilah then runs her hand through his hair and kisses his cheek. "I was a weak fool, and I couldn't help you and you got hurt, I… I'm so sorry Lincoln!"

Lincoln feels bad for her and hugs her back. "Delilah, we didn't know what was gonna happen, just as the incident when Leslie came and when we were attacked by Jeffrey, we never saw it all coming and Sasha's attack was something else we never expected."

"Plus, she's dealt with now, so that means that's one threat that is never, ever coming back and we can be a family again. So, let's not dwindle onto the past and look forward to what the next day has for all of us, alright Delilah?"

Delilah departs from the hug and she wipes away her tears and looks to the snow-haired boy. "0-Okay then, okay Linc." She hugs him again and Lincoln returns the embrace.

Then some other vehicles arrive, and coming out are the folks who helped them fend off Sasha Alabaman. Carol, Jordan and her dog Ajax, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Jackie, Mandee and Margo and Paula. They all go over and see how Lincoln is doing.

Luna smiles seeing this, but then she recalls what her son had just said. "So, let's not dwindle onto the past and look forward to what the next day has for all of us." That struck Luna, hard because she recalls something that comes on the following day.

'Tomorrow is April the 1st, and that means April fool's and from what Doc Himmler said, Luan might become an unstable person again.'

Luna then sees the smile from her son and the joy from everyone to see Lincoln feeling alright. 'We gotta be prepared, no telling what Luan might do when tomorrow hits and if she does come back here, then we'll be ready for her.'

(Traverse City Juvenile Detention Center.)

The bell rings and so Lynn and Annabelle walk out of the room where they have been having their classes and they walk down the halls of the place. The two preteens then talk as they make their way through the halls.

"So, we just need to pass this book report and then we don't have to deal with it when next week starts up" said Annabelle C. McCann. "Because this looks super hard."

"Not for me" replied Lynn. "I think this is something from what Lisa said long ago, something about Napoleon and what he did in France, so I think I got this and I know we're gonna pass."

Annabelle smirks. "Dang Lynn, you're growing smart too. Brains for the education and brawns for the sports and having fun, you are changing for the better and it's a good thing too."

Lynn smirks. "Yeah, we gotta change for the better, right?" The duo then see some inmates talking to each other about something that happened. "Hey girls what the heck is going on?"

They then tell them that someone has broken out of juvie earlier and the guards tried to stop her but she got away and this concerned both Annabelle and Lynn. "Who got away?!"

(Outside.)

Someone did escape and that someone is Karen Houseman and she looks ticked off. She then looks back to the place and growls. 'Alright, I'm outta that joint, but the real issue are my friends. I need to go back and bust them out, but how?'

She then recalls last night when she spoke with Leslie and the gang. 'Calm down and relax. You can get them out when the time is right, but right now I need to get the right tools for the job in busting them out of that stink hole.'

'They risked themselves to keep the guards busy, and now that I am out, now I can avenge them and do some damage to the place. I'll need to make some sort of plan so I can be able to come back and wreck some havoc on…' Then she's hit head first by a basketball.

Karen gets up. "Ow!" Then Lynn tackles Karen and the duo end up fighting each other, Karen tries to punch Lynn but the sporty girl kicks her off and then tackles her again.

Annabelle comes over and she pins Karen to the ground, then the guards come over and they apprehend the escapee, the handcuff her and bring her back into the detention center. Karen is shocked from this and yells. "How the heck did you even catch up to me?!"

Lynn and Annabelle are confused and tell her. "Dude, you're not even far from the place."

Karen sees she was near the fence which leads to the basketball courtyard, and the juvie was still in her range ad she's still visible to others who are waving at her.

Then Annabelle speaks. "Also, we saw you through the window and so we went out and took you down. What the heck were you even thinking? Also, is that a spoon?"

Karen has a spoon in her clothing, turns out she dug a hole in her special cell and managed to find some soft and weak spot on the floor, and thus Leslie and the gang acted as a diversion for Karen to escape.

Karen now looks to the duo in anger. "This isn't over! I will get out and so will the others, but I am going to settle the score with you two!"

Lynna and Annabelle walk back into the place with some guards. "How stupid is she?" asked Lynn. "Because a part of me thinks that her mind is so dense, that she has no brain at all."

Then another guard goes to them. "The warden wants to see you two, she has something to say after what you two did." Lynn and Annabelle are confused, and so they follow the guard to see what the warden has in store for them and that will be explained for next time.

(State Michigan Correctional Facility, Lansing City. Lansing.)

Right now, we see Gerald Langston, the man who is the cellmate and friend to Lynnard Sr, and the duo are waiting by the large waiting area for the arrival of some special folks.

Gerald has made himself neat and clean and even shaved off his goatee, and thus he barely looks recognizable, but why is he here actually? What the heck or who the heck is he waiting for? Well, let's take a look at the letter in his hands that he got three days ago.

Dear Gerald.
I have exciting news for you, the kids and I are gonna come to you and see how you're doing. We wanna see if the man we know and love as the father and husband to the family is still there and doing well, and we hope that one day you can be released and then we can be a family again.

From you're wife. Danica Langston.

The man looks super excited and then he smells his breathe. "Man, it has been almost a year, and now I'm gonna see them again. I feel super nervous man."

Lynn chuckles. "Don't swear it, big guy. This is a good moment, to be visited by those who love you, and even though you made mistakes before, they know that it was something that you never meant any harm and that's a good sign to the right path to redemption."

Gerald nods. "Yeah, I guess you're right and… Here they come!" The duo then see them. The family of Gerald Langston.

Danica Langston – Long blonde hair, with black dyed on the right side, and wearing a brown t-shirt, black sleeveless jacket, blue jeans and black shoes.

Cassandra Langston – At the age of 13 and with dark brown hair tied into a ponytail, she's wearing a white blouse, light blue hoodie jacket and skirt that reaches her knees and white socks with blue sneakers.

Gerald Langston Jr. – 10 years old and has light brown hair, freckles on his cheek and wearing braces, his hair style is a pixie cut style and he's wearing a red and black striped t-shirt with a dark blue hoodie jacket, blue shorts and black sneakers with fiery patterns on them.

"Dad!" The kid's race towards Gerald and the man goes over and hugs them both, and all of them are in tears.

Lynn Sr smiles seeing this and so he takes his leave and goes up the stairs and watches the whole thing from the balcony and with him is his wife, Rita and the duo watch as the man who is they're friend interacts with the family he was away from.

Lynn smiles seeing this. "Sure is good to see him all happy and what not, really does bring back some good memories, huh Rita?"

Rita nods. "Yeah, we still have to wait for the moment when Lincoln and Luna plan to come and see us, but I don't know if the rest of the family wants to." She then looks to the window and sighs with a saddened tone.

Lynn goes over and places an arm around Rita. "Don't worry Rita, when this is over and we're both free, then we can make the plan work and restart the life we once had, we can get through this and I know for sure that we might get some company soon."

Rita smiles. "Thanks Lynn, I can always count on you to make me feel better, but I do feel bad for Lincoln and Luna, as well as the others who are all going through so much trouble and not getting much help from the family we once were."

"They're strong that way Rita, all of them are strong and they all know how to get through the new life they all have" replied Lynn. "Let's not lose ourselves and try to look forward on what happens next, for all of us."

The duo then share a small kiss, and then they look towards Gerald who is sharing some laughs and holds the hand of his wife Danica. They know that the life Gerald will have when this is over is gonna be bright, and that gives hope to the married couple, hope that they too can be able to see a bright and better future with those who they still call, family.

A/N: At least Lincoln is fine, and we might be having some issues when tomorrow hits, or perhaps not and that was kinda funny for Karen to think she got away and a good moment between Gerald and his family, which means more are to come and what the heck does the warden wanna talk about towards Lynn and Annabelle anyway? That's gonna be for next time. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
