A/N: Hey howdy hey.

So, I shall not waste your time.

I shall see you…AT THE BOTTOM!

Every one of Lincoln's sisters looked at him with shock. They had just heard him say that he wanted to join the Army. "You wanna join the Army, bro?" Luna asked as Lincoln nodded while drinking his beer.

"You see, I stopped a big guy from touching Bonnie and an Army General saw my skills and wanted me to join. I told him I'd think about it. So, I'll call him later." Lincoln said as he ate his hot dog.

"You know kid, all of us were Special Forces in our own respective countries." Gunner said as he ate his food. Lincoln nodded and finished his beer.

"I know. I was thinking of using my skills to get into the Special Forces when I enlist. But I'm wondering if I can even join due to my new genetics." Lincoln said as he ate some more of his food. Lori, Leni and Luan raised their eyebrows to what he had said.

"What do you mean, Linky?" Leni said as Lincoln sighed, got up and changed into his wolf form.

"This is what happened to me after a crazy mad scientist used me for his experiments." Lincoln said as Bonnie was shocked.

"Can I talk to you in the kitchen, babe?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln changed back into his human form and walked into the kitchen.

As soon as they walked into the kitchen, Bonnie stared at her boyfriend with an angry stare. "Is there anything you're not telling me?" She asked as Lincoln sighed and leaned against the counter.

"Remember when I told you I was arrested here in Royal Woods?" Lincoln replied as Bonnie nodded. "Well, I was offered a job to work as a mercenary with a group called 'The Expendables'. I was taught how to fight with martial arts, guns and knives. I went on my first mission when I was still young, but I killed a German merc with a gun and a knife. I held his blood on my hands until I knew it was part of the mercenary life. I knew it was my calling card to be a mercenary by knowing all types of martial arts from 7 styles of Karate, Judo, BJJ, Krav Maga, Jiu-Jitsu, Aikido, Hapkido, Boxing, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Capoeira, Kung Fu, Tang Soo Do, Muay Thai, and Eskrima." Lincoln explained as Bonnie was super surprised.

"I wish you would have told me when we were younger." Bonnie said as she sighed.

"Does that mean you're breaking up with me?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie looked at him with curiosity.

"No. But I want one thing from you." Bonnie said as Lincoln listened.

"What's that, babe?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie wrapped her hands around his neck and purred.

"I want you to never keep anything from me. No matter how bad it is; I want the truth. Okay?" Bonnie asked as she kissed Lincoln. All Lincoln could do was nod slightly and enjoy the kiss. After the kiss disconnected, they returned to the table and finished eating before the Expendables left to head back to New Orleans.

On Wednesday, June 18th, 2025, Lincoln was sitting in the living room while he was waiting for Henry to arrive at the house. Lincoln had called him so he could talk to him about the proposition. Around 11am, Lincoln heard a knock on the door, so he got up and answered the door to see the old man standing there.

"Hey kid. Mind if I come in?" Henry asked as Lincoln stepped aside.

"You want a drink?" Lincoln asked as the man sat down at the kitchen table. "Just some ice cold water." Henry replied as Lincoln went to get a cold water bottle.

After Lincoln sat down and gave the General the water bottle, he cleared his throat.

"So, I made up my mind about the proposition." Lincoln said as the General raised an eyebrow.

"And?" Henry said as Lincoln smiled. "I'm ready to enlist." Lincoln said as the General was happy.

"Good. I'm glad you thought about the proposition. I'll get the paperwork ready and have you sign it." Henry said as Lincoln stopped him.

"But…there's something wrong with me. And I haven't been completely honest with you, Henry." Lincoln said as Henry raised his eyebrows.

"How so?" Henry asked as Lincoln sighed, got up and changed into his wolf form, shocking the old gentleman. "What in the name of hell?" He said as Lincoln sat down and licked his paw.

"I was used in a horrible experiment by this crazy mad scientist in Bulgaria. I'm now a Wolf/Human Hybrid and I can't ever go back to being a normal human." Lincoln said before changing back to his human form. "I do wanna join the army, but I doubt I can." Lincoln said before the General snorted.

"Son, is there anything else you're not telling me?" Henry asked as he took a sip of his water.

Lincoln sighed and told him what he had did when he was 11 and what he had to do to avoid going to jail. It took a good 10 minutes to explain, but after he was done, the General sighed.

"Lincoln, tell me this. Did you have charges brought upon you?" Henry asked as Lincoln shook his head. "And did you live a normal life?" Henry continued on as Lincoln nodded.

"Well as long as there are no charges and you lived a normal life, then there's no need to worry. Now, if you're saying you can hide your tail in your pants, then you're good to go. I'll talk to my superiors and tell them that you're willing to join. I'll put in a good word for you, don't worry." Henry said as he stood up and smiled.

"I'll call you with further details when I can." He said before leaving. Lincoln was happy that the General didn't care about his mercenary life, he wanted him to join the Army and enjoy it.

On Friday, June 20th, 2025, Lincoln was in the driveway putting fresh oil in his bike when his phone began ringing.

"Hello?" Lincoln asked as he was sweating. "My superiors are glad to hear you're willing to join from my report I gave them. So, pack your things and wait there, I'm coming to pick you up and take you to Fort Benning in Georgia. Tell your mother and girlfriend that you're going with me." Henry said as Lincoln smiled.

"Okay. Call me when you're almost here. I gotta take a shower first. You put in a good word, right?" Lincoln asked as Henry smiled on his end.

"Yes, I did. They won't be checking for your tail and whatnot. But if you're sparring with someone, don't go crazy, just do some good combat moves and take them down for the count. Okay kid?" Henry said as Lincoln smiled.

"Sure. I can do that." Lincoln replied as he hung up.

Lincoln then went to take a shower and get dressed before texting his mother and girlfriend. He told them he was being picked up by the Army General and being taken to Fort Benning Boot Camp. Bonnie and he made a plan to meet up after the two years was up to officially get a place and live together once they got married after Lincoln had gotten out of the Army. Lincoln was dressed in a long grey sleeve henley, dark blue jeans and black converse when he was picked up by the General.

They took the next flight to Columbus Georgia and arrived later that day. Lincoln was taken to get signed up by the General and was added in immediately. He was in boot camp almost immediately and did not show that he would give up at all despite the intense training he was put through for the next 10 weeks.

For the next 10 weeks, Lincoln had put forth effort in his training with the Army, Henry even stayed close to show the drill instructors what he could do. In hand to hand combat, Lincoln took down all his sparring partners, even the drill instructors jumped in to try, but lost immediately due to Lincoln's intense martial arts.

They laughed it off and congratulated him. But when it came to the firing range, Lincoln showed what he could do with a firearm; he put a big hole in the target paper with a whole clip of ammo and even with a sniper shot the best places on the metal targets.

The Army instructors were amazed by Lincoln's knowledge and martial arts training, so they kept it quiet until he graduated the training. Lincoln had to also complete the Special Forces Assessment and Selection Course since he told the General what he wanted to do. So, after showing what he could do on the field, he was now a Green Beret. After getting out of basic training, Lincoln was officially enlisted in the Army as a Green Beret.

It was Friday, August 29th, 2025, and Lincoln was in an Army BDU on his way home to see his family before he had to report to the army base. After arriving home, he breathed in a sigh of relief and walked to the front door. Lincoln walked in the door and heard someone in the kitchen, so he was quiet as he walked to the kitchen to surprise them.

As he walked into the kitchen, he didn't expect to see…his dad making a sandwich.

"Hey." Lincoln said as Lynn Sr turned around to see his son standing in an Army BDU.

"…Hey." Lynn Sr said as he grabbed a beer.

"So, you're now in the Army now, huh?" Lynn Sr asked as Lincoln nodded.

"Yep. How's everyone else?" Lincoln asked as the patriarch went to sit down at the table. "They're doing well." Lynn Sr said as Lincoln sat down and sighed.

"Listen, I wanna bury this hatchet between us. Okay? No more hating each other. Let bygones be bygones. Can we do that?" Lincoln asked as Lynn Sr sighed and smiled softly.

"Okay. Even though I did deserve to get my ass kicked. I think we can put this to bed." Lynn Sr said as he began eating his sandwich. The two shook hands firmly right after and hugged it out.

"Where's mom at?" Lincoln asked as Lynn Sr chewed his food.

"She's at work. You gonna go see her?" Lynn Sr asked as Lincoln nodded.

"Yep. I wanna see her before I go into the Army for the next two years." Lincoln said as he got out his keys for his bike. "I'll also be staying here for the next 2 weeks before I have to report to base." Lincoln said as he walked outside to his bike, started it up and drove to his mother's place of work. On the drive there, he saw there were new buildings that had been built in empty lots while he had been gone for 9 and a half years.

As he arrived at the dentist's office, he went in and saw a lady who was around her early 40's at the front desk.

"Hi, I'm looking for Rita Loud. I'm her son, Lincoln." Lincoln said as the woman took in his appearance and began to smile sweetly.

"Sure. She's on break. Go on ahead, cutie pie." She said as she slightly purred at the end. Luckily, Lincoln didn't notice it, so he went to the break room to find his mother eating a salad with her back towards the door.

"Where can I find a beautiful 50-year-old woman named Rita Loud?" Lincoln asked sweetly as Rita turned around and went wide eyed. "Hey Lincoln." She said happily as she got up quickly and hugged her son. She forgot how strong he was until he lightly squeezed her.

"I missed you. How was basic training?" Rita asked as Lincoln explained how fun training was; normally it would be pain, but Lincoln didn't feel any pain or soreness.

"So, I'm able to stay at the house for a good 2 weeks until I have to go to base. I also smoothed things over with dad, so now I gotta smooth things over with Lynn. Is she still at the hospital? She couldn't be there for more than a month since I only snapped her arm outta place." Lincoln said as Rita sighed and pinched her nose.

"She went on a rampage from you beating her up, jumped out of a 2 story window and landed on a car. So, she's got a broken leg and little cuts and bruises." Rita finished explaining as Lincoln sighed.

"Well, looks like I'm gonna pay her a visit. I'll meet you at the house later. Okay?" Lincoln said as he kissed his mother on the cheek before leaving. On the way to the hospital, Lincoln wondered why Lynn would jump out of a 2 story window; it wasn't like her to do such a stupid stunt.

Once he arrived at the hospital, he went to the front desk and saw a nurse. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Lynn Loud. I'm her brother, Lincoln." Lincoln said as the nurse pulled up the info.

"She's in room 115." The nurse said as Lincoln went to his sister's hospital room. He walked in and saw Lynn in the hospital bed with a sling for her arm and a cast on her left leg with some cuts covered up by bandages. "Hey Lynn." Lincoln said as Lynn narrowed her eyes.

"What do you want, Stinkoln?" Lynn spat as Lincoln brought a seat up next to her bed.

"I came to see how you were. You need to relax." Lincoln said with his voice becoming stern. "Well last time I checked; you didn't like martial arts and refused to spar with me. So, what's with the sudden change? You used to be all dorky, read comics in your undies and now you're all buff, you know martial arts and…in the army." Lynn asked as Lincoln sighed before explaining what had happened when he was arrested. It took him 20 minutes to explain everything that happened in New Orleans that were all major.

Lynn was surprised but didn't seem to care at all. "That's what happened. Pretty crazy, huh?" Lincoln said as Lynn scoffed. "All that matters is to me that you should've stayed like your dorky self. I liked you better when you were scrawny." Lynn said as Lincoln started to get pissed. He went to the door to shut it and he locked it too. Lynn raised her eyebrows and wondered what was going on.

"What're you doing dude?" Lynn said as she backed away a bit before Lincoln's claws deployed and he held Lynn by her throat, ready to claw at the flesh.

Lynn coughed a bit before trying to punch and scratch at her brother's face, but he pressed down harder on her windpipe.

"You should be glad to have someone to fight against. Now, I could kill you if I wanted to. But I don't wanna kill any of my siblings. So now, I'm gonna leave, don't even try calling for security. You got it?" Lincoln said darkly as Lynn nodded quickly as she could. Lincoln let go, retracted his claws, and left his sister to realize not to mess with him again.

A few days later, it was the 1st of September, Monday, 2025, and it was around 10pm when Lincoln was struggling to sleep on his cot in the basement. He was in his compression wear when he heard a noise coming from in the kitchen. So, Lincoln got out his pistol and began making his way up the stairs to the kitchen. Once he found the source of the noise, he lowered his gun…it was Lily getting cookies from the cookie jar.

"Lily, what're you doing up?" Lincoln asked as he put his gun on the counter, making sure it was put on safety.

"I got hungry for a snack." Lily said sheepishly and offered her brother one, making him smile. "Grab 2 for me. I'll grab the milk." Lincoln said as he grabbed the milk from the fridge while he also grabbed a small plate and glasses for their cookies and milk.

Once they got their cookies and milk, they sat at the table and ate their treats.

"Now Lilly, I'm gonna be gone for the next 2 years as I'm going into the army. Okay?" Lincoln said as Lily sighed but nodded. Then, they heard the window break in the kitchen and saw a device being thrown in the room; Lincoln recognized the device…it was a concussion grenade! "Get down!" Lincoln yelled as he grabbed Lily, overturned the table, and prepared for the blast.

The sound hurt their ears a bit before 4 men burst in the house with MP5's and body armor. "Where is he?!" One man yelled in an Arabic accent as Lincoln made a break for it with Lily to the basement. "Now Lily, stay down here so I can deal with these guys. Okay?" Lincoln said as Lily started to tear up. "O-Okay." Lily said as she wiped her tears away. Lincoln got his rifle out and ran up the stairs to find the men had all the girls, their father and mother at gunpoint and on their knees.

"Where is Lincoln Loud?" One of the men asked with a revolver up to Lucy's head.

"Screw you." Lucy snarled as she was hit upside the head with the gun.

"Don't you touch her!" Rita spat as the gun was then pointed at her.

"I won't ask again. Where…is…your son?" He asked with a stern voice as he then heard a whistle from the doorway. It was Lincoln holding his Recon 300BLK; he then shot it twice, hitting the man between the eyes and actually in the eye. "GET HIM!" The other man with a MP5 screamed as they started to shoot as Lincoln rolled on the ground and then pointed his SIG at the gunman with the MP5 that had a laser on it and shot him in the artery in his neck, making him bleed out.

Then, Lincoln jumped over the couch and clocked the 3rd man in the head with the stock of the rifle before running behind him, picking him up and slamming him backwards onto the floor, cracking his skull open. Lincoln got up to the final one who was scared outta his mind. He put up his hands in a Krav Maga stance while Lincoln quickly did a Double Roundhouse Kick on the man before he shot him in the eyes and the forehead.

After it was done, Lily came upstairs and saw all the bodies.

"Linky?" Lily said with a quiver as Lincoln freed everybody who was tied up.

"Call the cops. Let them know that they broke in and tried to rob us. Okay mom?" Lincoln said as he went to put his guns away and grab the paperwork for his weapons to say that he legally has a carrying permit.

A little bit later, ambulances, coroners and police cars came to help with the crime scene. After giving a statement to the police and letting the police and coroners leave with the dead bodies, Lincoln went to see how everyone was doing.

"Hey. How's the head doing, my little vampire?" Lincoln asked Lucy as she had a bandage over the spot where she was hit on the head with the gun.

"Sigh. I'm fine. It hurts a bit, but I'm fine. How about you?" Lucy asked as Lincoln shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothing I haven't already been through." Lincoln said as Lisa stood up to ask her older brother something.

"Elder brother, who were those subjects with firearms?" Lisa asked as Lincoln took out his phone and showed her a picture of a tattoo.

"Those men were with the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, judging by the tattoos on their wrists, they were all sergeants. I dealt with this last year when 2 of their soldiers killed my Interpol boss." Lincoln said as everyone was surprised.
"I hope the other Moroccan soldiers don't get wind of their deaths." Lincoln said as he sighed. "Let's just get some sleep." Lincoln said as they all went to sleep and tried to forget about what had happened.

It was finally time for Lincoln to go into the military and it was Friday, the 12th of September, 2025. Lincoln called a cab and had his flight arranged to head to base in Georgia. Later, he arrived at the base and began his life in the military.

Time went on as Lincoln was enjoying his life as a soldier; he went on many assignments from the team leader and even went to different Middle Eastern countries. In the matter of 8 months of being in the army, Lincoln made it to the rank of Private First Class. His team and him also went to Iraq to protect a local warlord but were under fire until Lincoln did the unthinkable and used his knives to throw them at the tangos and kill them at close range.

After the 2 years had passed, it was Monday, the 30th of August, 2027, and Lincoln was 23 at the time of being a Specialist at the end of his 2 tours. The General was proud of his time of service and let Lincoln leave the military with full military honors too. Lincoln was even shot in the chest, close to his heart but survived and got a Purple Hearts with a Distinguished Service Cross for risking his life on a mission that almost cost him his life. He got an earful from his Captain, but General Wilson stepped and defended Lincoln.

Lincoln flew back to Royal Woods in his Army Dress Greens and was being thanked for his service by people all around, hell, even Vietnam veterans were thanking him too. They even saluted him with full sharp salutes too; it made them tear up too.

It was 11am while Lincoln was on the way home in the cab, he was thinking if Lynn changed her ways while he was away. As the cab stopped, Lincoln was about to pay when the cab driver stopped him and smiled.

"It's on me. Thanks for your service." The cab driver said before he shook Lincoln's hand.

Lincoln smiled back and went to the front door. He breathed in and out and knocked on the door and began to wait. Then, after a few seconds, the door opened to Lynn Sr, standing there with a proud look on his face.

"Welcome back soldier." Lynn Sr said with a big smile.

"Hey dad. You miss me?" Lincoln said as he was brought in for a heartwarming hug. After their hug, Rita saw Lincoln and smiled.

"Hey honey." Rita said sweetly as Lincoln then went to hug his mother. Rita then saw the medals and decorations on Lincoln's uniform and was happy as hell.

"So, you were injured and even risked your life to fight for your country?" Rita asked as Lincoln shrugged with a smile.

"I guess you can say that." Lincoln said before sitting on the couch.

"Where's Lucy?" Lincoln asked as he put one leg over his other while his parents sat down.

"She's at a club meeting with that other gothic friend of hers." Rita said as Lincoln knew who it was.

"Gotcha." Lincoln asked as he got out his phone from the secret compartment that Rita made for him when his phone and other belongings were shipped back to the house when he enlisted.

He began to dial Bonnie's number and wait for her to pick up. They kept in contact on Skype while Lincoln was in the Army; and Lincoln had some crazy and weird stories for her when they met again.

"Hey baby. How was being in the Army?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln smiled wide.

"It was good. I made it to the rank of Specialist. Are you able to drive down here with a truck and a long flatbed?" Lincoln asked as he got up to grab a water from the fridge.

"Yeah. I can borrow my grandpa's long flatbed and drive down there with my truck. You have a motorcycle, right?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln smiled.

"Yep. I got it when I was 20. Why?" Lincoln replied as he drank his water.

"We can put your motorcycle and your Mustang on the flatbed while we get it strapped down." Bonnie said as Lincoln finished drinking his water.

"Okay. I'll text you the address. Make sure to fill the truck up with gas. Okay?" Lincoln confirmed as he turned on the boob tube.

"Okay. I'll leave early tomorrow morning around 4 and I should get there around 9 to 10 am; that is if I don't stop for bathroom breaks." Bonnie said as Lincoln smiled.

"Okay. I'll get all my stuff ready because I'm sure we might need to put it all in the Mustang and some in the backseat of the truck. If you want, your parents can drive down with you and we can put all my stuff in their car, or my parents can mail of my stuff down to the new apartment until we get married and get a nice house. Is that alright with you?" Lincoln asked as he changed the channel.

"Of course. We can have your parents send your game systems and other stuff down while you can bring your clothes in the truck. I got plenty of room; it's a 2020 Ford F150 in a navy blue color. I got it a year back and I'm in love with it." Bonnie said as Lincoln went to the basement.

"Alright. I gotta go do some things. Call me tomorrow morning when you're just pulling down the street. Okay?" Lincoln said as he began to take off his dress shoes.

"Alright. Also, we're gonna have to stay at my parents' house until we find either an apartment or a house. Is that okay with you?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln perked up.

"As long as we can have our alone time." Lincoln said as he took off his pants.

"Of course, we'll be able to have our alone time. We can sleep in my old bedroom. It's got a big queen bed, and it's comfortable as hell. Anyway, I'll call you tomorrow morning when I pull up to the house." Bonnie said as Lincoln then took off his shirt.

"Okay. Bye sweetie." Lincoln said as he heard her giggle.

"Bye baby." Bonnie said as they hung up. Lincoln then got dressed in a grey henley, black jeans, and his black combat boots; he even put on his necklace and his old watch he got from Barney. He then remembered that he wanted to go visit Clyde at the Detroit jail, so he went out to his Buick, got in and drove straight to Detroit.

He arrived, got out and went inside to the front desk. "I'm here to visit someone who's locked up here." Lincoln told the officer as the man looked up to him. "Name of the inmate, please." The officer said as Lincoln wasted no time.

"Clyde McBride." Lincoln replied as the officer perked up a bit.

"Oh shit. That's the nervous wreck black 22-year-old troublemaker. Oh yeah, he's been extracted 5 times in the last month for not listening to our orders, slicking down the cell with feces and piss and even attacking other inmates. It says here he's added 5 more years to his sentence for that." The officer explained as Lincoln was shocked.

"I need to see him." Lincoln said as the officer nodded and took him to the glass windows. "Sit here and I'll have someone go get him." The officer said as Lincoln sat and waited.

After 5 minutes, another officer brought Clyde up. Clyde had changed over the years too; he had some sort of tattoo on his left wrist, he was toned, and his hair was a bit shorter and trimmed.

"So, you finally came back, huh white nigga?" Clyde said with a deeper tone in his voice as he picked up the phone.

"Hey, don't you blame me for your mistakes. Just because I wasn't around doesn't mean that you should've thrown a hissy fit at your parents' house." Lincoln said as he replied on the other side of the glass with the phone.

"You're lucky you're on the other side of the glass. I would fuck you up so bad if you were in front of me." Clyde spat as Lincoln was shocked but kept himself under control. "On the contrary, I learned some things while I was away." Lincoln said as Clyde shook his head. "I think you need to go." Clyde said as Lincoln sighed.

"Fine. See you." Lincoln said as he left the phone and walked out.

As he got in his car, he got a notification on his Skype from…Dakota and the others! Lincoln answered the call and saw all the guys on Dakota's side.

"Hey dude! Long time no see. How ya been?" Dakota said as he saw Dakota in Marine Dress Blues.

"I'm doing well. Where are you guys at?" Lincoln asked as he looked at the background of the video call.

"We're at the airport back in New Orleans. We want to come see you In Royal Woods. Is that okay with you?" Dakota asked as Lincoln smiled.

"Yeah. Go ahead and fly here. I'll text you the address and I'll come pick you up with my parent's van since my car won't fit all of us in it." Lincoln said as he hung up and went to work out for a while in the basement.

Around 3pm, Lincoln got a text on his phone as he was working on his shadow boxing. He was in his workout clothes as he walked over to his phone and saw the Skype message.

We just landed in Detroit. Come get us. -Dakota

Lincoln smiled and messaged him back. Give me 10 minutes to get ready. I'll be there soon. -Lincoln

Lincoln then ran upstairs to the bathroom to grab a quick shower and get changed into his Dress Greens. After he was dressed, he got in Vanzilla and drove to Detroit Metro Airport. On the drive, he was happy that his friends got in touch with him again.

After a long drive, Lincoln pulled up to the pickup area and saw the different colors of military dress uniforms which his friends were wearing. He saw Dakota wearing his Marine Dress Blues as he was a Gunnery Sergeant, James in his Coast Guard Uniform as a Petty Officer Second Class, Malcolm wearing his Air Force Dress Uniform as a Staff Sergeant, Sebastian in his Navy Dress Uniform as a Petty Officer First Class and Dawson in his Army Dress Greens as a Staff Sergeant.

Lincoln smiled, got out and walked over to his friends while taking off his cap.

"Well look at all of you. It's good to see you sons of bitches!" Lincoln said as he was brought in a massive group hug from his friends. Dawson saw his rank and that he was in the Army; so, he smiled.

"So, you went with Green Berets, huh? Nice choice. I got the Sapper Tab and was good at what I did in the Army." Dawson said as he hugged Lincoln even tighter, but Lincoln knew he was built for strength.

"You guys ready to head to my house? I got good news." Lincoln said as everyone nodded and got in Vanzilla. Lincoln then drove the van back to Royal Woods and showed every one of his friends around before he drove to the house. As they pulled up the driveway, Rita came outside and saw Lincoln and his friends getting out.

"Lincoln, who are these people?" Rita asked as Lincoln introduced his mother to his friends.

"Guys, this is my birth giver…I mean mother, Rita Loud." Lincoln said as Rita chuckled.

"It's very nice to meet you all." Rita said as Lincoln introduced his friends.

"This is Dakota, James, Sebastian, Malcolm and Dawson. These guys are the friends I made while I was away in New Orleans." Lincoln said as Rita shook all of their hands before they all walked inside.

"So, what did you wanna talk to us about?" Dakota asked as they all sat down while Lincoln went to grab them beers. As soon as he came back with Miller Lite Fortunes, Lincoln sat down and told them. "I'm moving to Kentucky with my girlfriend. And I was wondering if you all want to be my neighbors when Bonnie and I move into a house." Lincoln said as all the others were surprised but smiled.

"Dude, of course we'll go with you." Dakota said as he fixed his hair in his dress hat.

"Yeah man. I think we should buy houses on the same street." Sebastian said before James stepped in. "Maybe we can move in with each other. 3 of us living together while the last 2 live together. It'll help with bills and groceries too." James said as Malcolm nodded.

"I think that's a good idea." Malcolm said as Dakota also thought it was a good idea, but Lincoln also decided to tell them the truth. "There's also something I haven't told you guys from the minute I met you." Lincoln said as he cracked open his beer.

"What do you mean?" Dakota said as Lincoln put the beer down on the table and leaned forward a bit. "I hacked into the CIA mainframe and saw files I wasn't supposed to see when I was 11. I then called the CIA, told the truth, and had them come pick me up. As soon as Agent Church came to pick me up, he took me away and to Burpin Burger…only to offer me a place on this team called 'The Expendables'." Lincoln said before showing the Expendables trademark tattoo on his forearm to the others.

"Damn dude. So…you're a merc?" James said as Lincoln nodded.

"And after we arrived in New Orleans, I was sent to live with my caretaker, Joshua Kendrick, aka Toll Road. He was a better father than my own. I mean no offense to my mother and father, but I lived a better life in New Orleans than here in Royal Woods." Lincoln explained as the others were surprised.

Lincoln then explained everything else; about him learning martial arts, how to shoot guns and him hacking into other databases. He also explained how he went on his first international job with Interpol when he was 14 all the way up until he was 20.

But he also showed them his new form and how he got it. The 5 soldiers were shocked, but understood what Lincoln had to go through in his life.

"Pretty crazy huh?" Lincoln asked as everyone nodded.

"Anyway, follow me. I wanna show you something." Lincoln said as everyone else followed him down to the basement.

"What did you wanna show us?" Dakota asked as Lincoln pulled up his offshore bank account.

"Look at the money I have." Lincoln said before all of his friends looked at the amount and their jaws dropped.

"300 Million?!" They all screamed as Lincoln laughed.

"Yep. I got all that from doing jobs with the FBI, Interpol and CIA. Plus the jobs we got while being mercs." Lincoln said as he opened his gun case. "Look in here." Lincoln said as the others looked at the guns in the case.

"Damn dude. You got the 2010 Sniper Rifle with a Recon 300BLK and a Custom Sig Sauer. Those are good guns." Sebastian said as Lincoln chuckled.

"Yep. Now, I want you all to go back to New Orleans, stay with your families and when I call you, drive up to Kentucky. Okay?" Lincoln said as everyone nodded.

"Okay. Now, I'll take you back to the airport in a bit." Lincoln said as everyone got back into Vanzilla and was taken to the airport to fly back to New Orleans.

The next day, on Tuesday, the 31st of August, 2027, Lincoln woke up around 4 am to get in the shower. As he went up to the second floor, he was excited to go live with his girlfriend, he couldn't get it out of his head. As he stripped in the bathroom, he looked at his body and examined it; his tattoos were well made, his muscles were clean as shit and his member was as hard as a rock. He got in the shower and began to put shampoo in his hair while his heavy musk lingered in the bathroom.

After he got out, he wrapped a towel around his waist and went down to the basement to get dressed.

After he got dressed in a grey henley, black jeans and his usual combat boots before he began to pack up his clothes and other stuff. After he did that, he went to make himself some breakfast. He got out some spicy breakfast sausage, eggs, and corned beef hash that he bought at the store yesterday. As he began cooking, he heard a noise coming from the front of the house, so he grabbed his gun from his waist and got into stance; only to find his mother coming out.

"Lincoln?" Rita asked softly as she came into the kitchen in her robe. "Sorry. I'm used to waking up this early and getting ready." Lincoln said as he finished cooking his breakfast. Rita came into the kitchen and got some coffee.

"What're you making?" Rita asked as Lincoln began showing her.

"Just spicy sausage, eggs and corned beef hash." Lincoln said before plating his food.

"I also have something to tell you." Lincoln said as his mother and him sat down in the living room.

"I'm moving out today." Lincoln said as Rita was shocked. "Really? Where are you moving to?" Rita asked as Lincoln began to take a bite of his food.

"I'm moving to Kentucky with Bonnie. I mean, with all the money I have, I'm gonna be good for a while, but I still need a job." Lincoln said as he ate some sausage.

"Oh. Well, are you gonna say goodbye to your sisters?" Rita asked as Lincoln nodded.

"Yes, I will. When they wake up, I'll let them know I'm leaving." Lincoln said as Rita nodded before going to drink her coffee in her room.

Around 6:30 am, the girls were up and saw Lincoln carrying his things up to the main floor.

"Linky, what're you doing?" Lily asked as Lincoln put down his airsoft guns in the duffle bags.

"I'm moving out. I'm gonna be moving to Kentucky with Bonnie." Lincoln said as Lily was shocked.

"You're moving out?!" Lily screamed as she ran up to him and hugged him tight.

"Don't go." The 13-year-old blonde said as Lincoln got on one knee.

"Lily, I gotta move out. Okay. Now, I want you to be good for mom. You got it?" Lincoln said as Lily hugged him again.

"Okay." Lily said as Lincoln went to hug the other girls before Rita went to drive them to school.

After they left, Lincoln was left in the living room alone, so he got out his whiskey he got from the liquor store the day before. He grabbed a chilled whiskey glass that was 7 ounces and poured about 3 tablespoons of whiskey in it. He then put 2 small ice cubes in it and sat down on the couch. Just then, his father came out and instantly smelled the alcohol.

"Hey, are you drinking whiskey?" Lynn Sr asked as Lincoln took a small sip of the Jack Daniels. "Yep. It's very refreshing. Want some?" Lincoln asked as Lynn Sr smiled and sat down while Lincoln pulled another glass out for his father.

"This is the good stuff. You drank this, right?" Lincoln asked as he poured the whiskey in the glass. "Not Jack Daniels, only Jim Beam." Lynn Sr said as he took the glass and clanged it with Lincoln's.

They drank for a while and talked too. Lincoln explained some of the things he had to do to survive while as a Green Beret; he had to blow up an ISIS teenage soldier who held a grenade launcher by shooting inside the barrel of the gun with his Beretta M9 and even slit an 18-year-old ISIS soldier's throat with his knife. But the one thing that he didn't like was to kiss his commanding officer in front of the enemy soldier to blend in as a tourist in a foreign country just to hide his cover too.

Lynn Sr was surprised by all the crazy things Lincoln had done as a soldier for the United States Army, but it was all a part of being a Special Forces soldier.

After talking for a while, Lincoln's phone began ringing, so he answered it and saw it was Bonnie.

"Hey babe. Where you at?" Lincoln asked as he saw his father smiling.

"I'm a mile from your house. I brought the long trailer for your car and motorcycle. My parents said that we can all go out to dinner when we get to the house too. Is that okay with you?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln took a sip of his whiskey.

"Yeah. That's fine. I'll see you when you get here." Lincoln said before he hung up.

"Who was that?" Lynn Sr asked as he took a sip of his whiskey. "That was my girlfriend. She's gonna be here in a bit. So, you can keep the whiskey for you and mom." Lincoln said as Lynn Sr smacked his knee and laughed.

"My son's got a girlfriend. I'm so proud of you, Lincoln." Lynn Sr said with a smile on his face. "Thanks Pops. By the way, I need you and mom to mail the rest of my stuff that I don't take with me to the address that I'll text you later." Lincoln said as he finished his whiskey and went to wait outside with his stuff.

After waiting for a bit, Lincoln saw a navy blue 2020 F150 pull up to the curb with a long vehicle trailer. Lincoln saw his girlfriend get out of the truck while wearing a blue and black flannel, black jeans, and white converse.

"Hey sweetie." Lincoln called out as he walked towards her and smiled.

"Hey baby." Bonnie called back as she wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him deep. Lincoln turned his head slightly and slid his tongue in her mouth, making her squeal lightly. He also slid his hands around to her ass and squeezing it lightly. They rolled their tongues around in their mouths deeply until they stopped for a breath. Then, they rested their foreheads together, panting lightly.

"I missed doing that with you." Bonnie said as she tasted the whiskey in Lincoln's mouth.

"Is that whiskey I taste?" Bonnie asked as he nodded. Lincoln then kissed her nose lightly.

"Let's get everything loaded. We can make it to Louisville before 3pm." Bonnie said as Lincoln kissed her one more time before they loaded the suitcases of clothes and Lincoln's other things too in the truck before loading the 1987 Buick and Fat Boy onto the trailer. It was close to 10am before Lincoln and Bonnie finished and got in the truck.

"Ready to go?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln reached over to kiss her once more on the cheek.

"I'll take that as a yes." Bonnie said as she giggled before driving out of Royal Woods and was on the way to Louisville, Kentucky.

The drive was gonna be about 5 hours, maybe 4 if there was no busy traffic. Bonnie drove the truck smoothly through the countryside as the day went on. Around noon, they stopped for lunch at Subway and got good subs to eat. After lunch, they picked up the pace before finally arriving in Kentucky. On the way to Bonnie's parents' house, Bonnie told Lincoln how she stayed single throughout her days in Kentucky. They finally arrived at her parent's place and parked the truck before getting out.

"So, how old are your parents now?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie looked at him.

"They're in their late-50's. Dad's got grey hair and my mom's hair is starting to go grey too. Brooke is married and with a nice guy who is a year older than her. They're also thinking about children, but they haven't decided yet. They also live across the suburbs too from us." Bonnie said as she led Lincoln up to the front door before opening it up.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" Bonnie called out as she led him to the kitchen to find her parents sitting down making brunch.

"Look who I brought." Bonnie said before Lincoln walked in and surprised the hell outta Jack and Lindsey.

"Hi." Lincoln said as Jack got up to greet him.

"Welcome back, kiddo. I heard you went into the Army as a Green Beret, is that right?" Jack asked as he stuck out his hand to shake Lincoln's.

"That's right, Jack. I made it up to the rank of Specialist too. I was also told I could stay here until Bonnie and I found a place of our own, is that right?" Lincoln asked as Jack smiled.

"Well of course. We don't mind. You are that son we never had." Jack said as he smiled and hugged Lincoln.

"So, Bonnie said all of us would go out to dinner. Is that right?" Lincoln asked as Jack and Lindsey nodded. "Yep. We're going to Golden Corral. Brooke isn't coming due to her being sick. She got a job as an Anesthesiologist when she was 23 and got transferred up to here. She then met her husband when she was 25 and got married a year and a half later." Lindsey said as Lincoln was surprised. "Wow. I bet she's happy. What's her husband's name?" Lincoln asked as Lindsey smiled.

"His name is Jason Barret. They've been thinking of having kids. Jason works for the DEA and Brooke works at the hospital." Lindsey finished explaining as Jack stepped in.

"Want me to come help you unload everything? I heard you had your car and motorcycle as well as lots of other stuff." Jack asked as Lincoln smiled. "Yeah. I brought my airsoft guns, game systems, clothes and miscellaneous stuff too." Lincoln said as he and Jack walked outside to unload the truck.

"Bonnie's room is actually in the basement. She chose it when we moved up here. Plus, she can even walk to my parents' place which isn't even 3 blocks away. My parents moved up here the same year we did." Jack said as he began moving all the stuff inside before himself and Lincoln unloaded the car and motorcycle.

2 days later, it was Thursday, the 2nd of September, 2027, and Lincoln and Bonnie were sleeping together in her bed when her phone began going off around 7am. She groaned and got up to answer it. "Hello?" She said with a groan as Lincoln got up to see who she was talking to.

"The swap meet. I guess we can go. I gotta ask Lincoln first." Bonnie said as Lincoln smirked a bit. "Yes Brooke, we got back together again. I'll talk to mom and dad about it. I'll call you when we're on the way. Bye." Bonnie said as Lincoln slithered his hand onto her breast.

"Was that your sister?" Lincoln said softly as Bonnie moaned.

"Yes." Bonnie said before she mounted Lincoln and tore off her night shirt, showing her Size C breasts with a slight dark tinge.

"You want these babies?" Bonnie purred as Lincoln smiled and took them in his hand and began playing with them. He then pulled his head up to them and began to lick them. Lincoln then took off his compression shorts and pulled out his raging hard member. Bonnie took off her pajamas and panties before she grabbed some lube from her drawer and lubed up Lincoln's member.

"Ready?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln nodded and held her hips into place as she slid down his massive member. She gasped as she felt his whole member being swallowed by the warmness of her entrance.

"It's so big." She whispered as she bent down to kiss her boyfriend. She began to jump up and down as there was a faint sound of skin slapping; it wasn't loud, but it was there.

Lincoln felt his climax coming, but he didn't wanna do it yet. So, he flipped over and had Bonnie on the bed and began to scan her toned body. He opened her legs and began to service her womanhood by sticking his 2 fingers in and eating her out. Bonnie began moaning lightly as she grabbed a handful of Lincoln's hair to cope with the experience. He finished and began stroking himself as he felt his climax coming back. He finally climaxed all over Bonnie's naked stomach.

"Wow. I didn't expect so much." Bonnie said with wide eyes as she felt the warm essence all over her stomach. "Did you like that?" Lincoln asked as he laid next to Bonnie.

"Fuck yeah. It was amazing. Let's go take a shower and get dressed before we go eat breakfast." Bonnie said as she got up with Lincoln following her to the basement bathroom. The bathroom was fairly big and had good space in it. Once the water was warm enough, they got in and made out before getting cleaned up.

After they got out, Lincoln put on a blue henley, black jeans and his black boots while Bonnie put on a green and black flannel, blue jeans and white converse. After spraying the room and opening the basement window to get the smell of sex out, they applied their own cologne and went to the kitchen to find Jack and Lindsey cooking pancakes, eggs and bacon.

"Morning lovebirds. Want some food?" Jack asked as he put 2 pancakes on a plate with some scrambled eggs and bacon before giving it to Bonnie.

After they all ate, Bonnie decided to bring up the swap meet thing that Brooke had suggested. "Brooke wanted to know if we wanted to go to the swap meet around 11am. Does anyone want to go?" Bonnie asked as everyone looked at her.

"Sure. Why not. We might even buy some stuff." Lindsey said as Lincoln stepped in.

"I gotta go switch my driver's license switched over from New Orleans to Kentucky and my insurance switched over too. But yeah, I can do that later I guess after the swap meet." Lincoln said as they all went to do their own things for a while.

As Lincoln and Bonnie were in the basement, Bonnie locked the door and seductively walked over to her boyfriend. Lincoln noticed it and smirked.

"What're you smiling about?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie got on her knees to undo his pants.

"I need this." Bonnie said as she purred and pulled out his hard member. She began to bob her head onto it and lick the head before she took about half of it into her mouth. Lincoln held her head down with his hand as Bonnie sucked him off good. Lincoln began to feel his climax coming, so he pulled her head off and began stroking super long strokes as he looked at Bonnie and smirked deviously.

"Does kitty want her cream?" Lincoln whispered as Bonnie nodded and he finally climaxed all over her face.

As Lincoln began to pant heavily, Bonnie grabbed tissues and began cleaning her face up. Lincoln then put himself away, Bonnie cleaned up and laid down in bed with Lincoln.

"I wish I could've done that before I left all those years ago." Bonnie said as Lincoln looked at her and smiled. "I know. But the good thing is that we're together again." Lincoln said as they watched movies until it was 11am. Lindsey, Jack, Lincoln and Bonnie all got into the F150 and drove to the swap meet.

After they arrived, they went to different stands and even bought some things. They all were having fun, until a US Marshal was escorting an inmate until he got away from him and the inmate was running through the swap meet, and he was heading right towards Lincoln and Bonnie!

"So, is there any food setups here?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie smiled.

"Yep. There should be one up-" Bonnie was interrupted by the Marshal screaming.

"STOP HIM! HE'S GETTING AWAY!" The Marshal screamed as Lincoln saw the inmate coming towards him, so he dropped all the bags, got into a stance, and immediately did a Double Roundhouse Kick onto the inmate's face, which stopped him completely. Until the man in orange got up and grabbed a pan from the nearby stand, which Lincoln had a serious look on his face.

"Really? You're using a pan?" Lincoln said before blocking the swing of the pan and punching the inmate with a Hammer Fist in the cheek, then chopping him in the throat and finally doing an O Goshi on the inmate, knocking him out from the pain.

"Hey, you stopped him. Good. Thank you." The US Marshal said as he tried to get his breath back. "It's no problem." Lincoln said as the Marshal recuffed the inmate before getting him up. But before the Marshal left, he looked at Lincoln and noticed his muscles.

"You looked like you can handle yourself kid. Were you in the military?" The Marshal asked Lincoln as he pulled out his Military ID.

"Wow. Green Berets, huh? I was in the Marines for MARSOC. The name is Timothy Gardner." Timothy introduced as Lincoln stuck out his hand. Timothy Gardner was a 35-year-old man who was 6-foot-1, had short brown hair, blue eyes and had a scar on his hand.

"Lincoln Loud. I was a Specialist in the US Army." Lincoln said as Timothy showed him a picture of himself as a Jarhead.

"I was a Sergeant in the Marines. I know my boss is looking for more recruits to become Marshals. You wanna sign up?" Timothy asked as Lincoln was surprised. This US Marshal was asking him if he wanted to sign up as a US Marshal.

"You got a card?" Lincoln asked as the Marshal gave him a card.

"Anyway, I gotta get this guy back to charge him with escape. Call my boss and he'll arrange when you can start training." Timothy said as he took the inmate back to the car. Lincoln was looking at the contact card with wide eyes. He knew this was the perfect way to get a job and make money plus a living.

"Babe, are you thinking of becoming a Marshal?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln looked at her.

"I'll give it some time before I make my decision." Lincoln said before kissing her. They regrouped with Jack, Lindsey and Brooke before they all went back to the house to make dinner.

Lincoln thought about the decision all night until the next day of Friday, the 2nd of September, 2027, and around 9am, Lincoln decided to call the number on the card. He talked and called the US Marshal Director and talked about being recruited.

They worked it out and Lincoln would have to go to the United States Marshals Service Basic Training Academy in Glynco, Georgia for the next 18 weeks. Bonnie had also made an announcement that she wanted to work with the ATF. She had a friend in the family who could recruit her into Criminal Investigators Training Program in Glynco, Georgia.

So, she and Lincoln would be going down to Georgia for the next 4 months to train for law enforcement.

They left on Monday, the 6th of September, 2027, and headed to Glynco for training. As soon as they arrived; their training started. They knew their time in the military prepared them for their training and they were happy to show their skills. Bonnie had her dad and paternal grandfather show her how to shoot firearms when she was 14 as soon as they moved to Kentucky, so she knew her way around a firearm or two.

With Lincoln, he impressed the hell out of the other trainee's with his skills.

Around the 3rd of January, Monday, 2028, they finally graduated at the top of their class of their respectable law enforcement jobs. Lincoln was a Deputy US Marshal and Bonnie was a junior ATF Agent. They met up at a local Denny's for lunch before they were set to report to their headquarters in Louisville Kentucky. As soon as they saw each other, they smiled and hugged before they sat down and ordered.

"So, was this all worth it?" Bonnie asked as she showed her gun slightly and badge to Lincoln.

"Hell yeah. I'm proud of myself for taking this job. I start work as soon as I report to the Kentucky office." Lincoln said as he showed his badge, gun, and ID for it.

Lincoln was also good at keeping his tail hidden from the other trainee's and even the instructor's. Lincoln was even wearing black jeans, grey henley, black boots and a US Marshal's coat over it too while Bonnie was wearing a dark navy blue shirt that said 'ATF Agent' on it with navy blue pants with black boots.

They left to head back to Kentucky and be ready to report to their respectful workplaces. Later that day, they arrived back at Bonnie's parent's house and were happy to be back in Kentucky. Lincoln then went to drive to the nearest jewelry store because he wanted to secretly propose to Bonnie when he could. He took 15 thousand out of his offshore account and went to the jewelry store downtown. Lincoln walked in and saw a 53-year-old lady behind the counter.

"Hello there, how can I help you?" The lady asked as Lincoln walked up to the counter and looked at the rings. "I'm looking to buy something beautiful for the woman in my life. Got anything robust but gorgeous?" Lincoln asked as he looked at the rings.

"Sure! We have a wide selection of rings all under 20 grand." The lady said as Lincoln explained that himself and Bonnie had moved down to Kentucky.

"I'm looking to pay about 15 grand for a ring. Is that okay?" Lincoln asked as the woman smiled.

"Oh, of course." The woman said as Lincoln spotted a ring that looked perfect. He saw it was an Estelle Diamond Ring that had a single diamond in it; it was perfect, and it was only 10 grand.

"I'll take the Estelle Diamond Ring." Lincoln said as he pointed to the ring. The woman smiled and pulled out the ring.

"Wonderful selection. Are you gonna pay cash or credit?" The woman asked as Lincoln pulled out the envelope.

"Cash." Lincoln said as he pulled the cash out of the envelope. He paid for the ring and the woman boxed it up for him before Lincoln was on his way back to the house.

When Lincoln got back, he hid the box with his stuff and went to look for houses with Bonnie. On Wednesday, the 5th of January, 2028, after looking for houses around 600 grand to 800, Lincoln and Bonnie had found a house that was perfect for them.

It was a nice 2 story house with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms with 6 parking spaces, and it was only 847 grand. After getting a house inspection, Lincoln and Bonnie fell in love with the house.

Lincoln pulled the money out of his account so he could put down a deposit and even buy the furniture for the house.

Lincoln, Bonnie, Jack, Lindsey, Brooke, and her husband all helped with the move. The house was only 3 miles away from Jack and Lindsey's house and even 10 miles away from the Marshal's office and ATF office. After 3 hard days of moving furniture, everyone was happy with the result of the move. Lincoln and Bonnie both had to report to their offices on the 12th of January, Wednesday, 2028, so they were glad that all they had to do was pick up groceries for their fridge and freezer.

After Lincoln and Bonnie had picked up groceries, they headed back home and put everything away before they made lunch for themselves. While Bonnie was cooking, Lincoln thought of calling Toll Road and the others to ask them how they were doing. He brought up Toll's number and called it before waiting. It rang for a minute before he heard a voice on the other end.

"Hey kid. How's it going?" It was Toll Road.

"Good. I just got a job as a US Marshal and bought a house for Bonnie and me to live in. Bonnie also got a job as an ATF Agent." Lincoln explained as heard Bonnie.

"Lunch is ready." She said sweetly as Lincoln nodded.

"Well, that's good. Anyway, Melanie and I are actually getting married soon. So, I gotta go pick up my prescriptions. See ya kid." Toll said before he hung up. Bonnie put Lincoln's plate of Steak, Sweet Potatoes and Collard Greens in front of him.

"Babe, can I ask you a serious question?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie looked at him. "Sure." She said as Lincoln took his hand in with her.

"Remember when you said that you wanted to start a family?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie nodded.

"Well, I think we should at least wait almost a year before we think of that. Because I don't wanna get you pregnant just yet. Think of it; you getting pregnant on the first day of your job. What if you get injured while on the job or worse?" Lincoln explained as Bonnie nodded again.

"I understand. I agree with you. I guess I can wait about 8 months before you get me pregnant. But I don't wanna have 9 kids. Know what I mean?" Bonnie smiled deviously as Lincoln laughed.

"Real fucking funny." Lincoln said as they ate and laughed as well.

Around 3 months later, it was the 1st of April, Saturday of 2028, Lincoln was on the computer in his office at the house while Bonnie was working out in the field at work. Lincoln was planning a way to propose to Bonnie, then he thought of asking his mother. So, he pulled up Skype and clicked on his mother's contact before letting it ring. After letting it ring, his mother picked up and smiled as she saw Lincoln.

"Hey honey, whatcha doing?" Rita asked as she saw the background of Lincoln's office.

"Nothing. I'm just here at my new house. I also got a job as a US Marshal while Bonnie became an ATF Agent." Lincoln explained as Rita was surprised.

"Oh, honey I'm so proud of you." Rita said as Lincoln smiled.

"Well, there's something I need to ask you. How did dad propose to you?" Lincoln asked as Rita was shocked.

"You don't mean that you-" Rita was interrupted by Lincoln showing her the ring he had bought for Bonnie. Rita gasped and covered her mouth with her hands before smiling.

"Do you think she'll like it?" Lincoln asked as Rita smiled wide.

"Oh honey, she'll love it! I'm so proud of you for taking the extra step in a relationship. Do you want to have a big wedding or a small one?" Rita asked as Lincoln smirked.

"Well, I was actually thinking of having a courthouse wedding. I want to invite you, Luna, Dad, Pop Pop and Lily. But I don't wanna invite the other girls because I know they'll trash it and try to tell me that I didn't choose the right girl." Lincoln said as Rita was shocked indeed.

"Honey, are you sure that's what you wanna do? That's not right. You not inviting the other girls is a low blow." Rita said as Lincoln put on an angry face.

"I don't give a flying fuck! I don't want them to ruin my wedding. You can film it if you want and then show it to them. But under no circumstances are they to show their faces." Lincoln said as he calmed down.

"Okay. If that's what you want, then I understand." Rita said before Lincoln sighed.

"I gotta go. Okay. I'll give you a date and some money to fly down here with Dad, Luna, Pop Pop and Lily when the time is right." Lincoln explained as Rita nodded. "Okay. I'll see you later." Rita said before hanging up.

Lincoln then calmed down a bit more before pulling out 5 grand for Rita, Luna, Lily, Lynn Sr and Pop Pop to fly down to Kentucky. Lincoln knew it was his day off, so he needed to still figure out how he was gonna propose to his girlfriend.

Then, an idea came to his head; there was an ice skating rink downtown, that'd be the perfect place to propose to Bonnie! He knew tomorrow was Bonnie's day off, so he was able to take her there and skate with her before he would propose to her.

Right now, it was 2pm, and Bonnie didn't get home until 4:30pm, so he would talk to her about taking her to the ice skating rink for some alone time when she got home. So, he decided to go take a nap until she got home.

After climbing into their queen size bed and sleeping for a good 2 and a half hours, he heard his girlfriend's voice from downstairs.

"Baby, I'm home!" Bonnie called from downstairs. Lincoln got up and rubbed his eyes before walking down the stairs to see his girlfriend in the kitchen grabbing a beer. "Grab me one too." Lincoln said with a yawn.

"Were you still thinking of calling Dakota and your other friends to come live down here?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln sat down on the couch with her.

"Yeah. I'll do that now." Lincoln said as he got out his phone and called Dakota on Skype. After letting it ring for a couple seconds, Dakota picked up.

"What's up dude?" Dakota asked as Lincoln smiled.

"I'm all moved into a house with Bonnie. You guys are more than welcome to stay with us until you guys get a job and a house." Lincoln said as Dakota smiled.

"Okay. I'll get the guys ready to go tomorrow. We'll get our cars filled up with gas and get some snacks too." Dakota said as he then hung up. Lincoln then messaged the address to Dakota as he then took a drink of his beer.

"So, what are we doing for dinner?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie looked at him. "I'm thinking of cooking grilled shrimp, steak and cauliflower." Bonnie said as Lincoln pulled her closer.

"I was thinking of going to the ice skating rink tomorrow, wanna go?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie smiled. "Sure. We can go around noon." Bonnie said as they drank the rest of their beer before they got dinner done.

The next day, it was the 2nd of April, Sunday, 2028, so Lincoln and Bonnie got up around 8 and got ready to go to the ice skating rink downtown. They left in the truck and headed downtown to the rink. After arriving, they went inside, got their skates, and went on the ice. Lincoln wasn't used to skating like this, but Bonnie was used to it since she was able to go to the rink whenever she could since she had been in Kentucky since she was 13.

After skating with each other for a good half hour, they took a break and sat down on the bench outside the rink.

"So, how did you react to skating for your first time here in Kentucky?" Lincoln asked as Bonnie looked at him with a smile.

"It was a bit tricky for me at first, but I got the hang of it soon. Now you on the other hand are just learning, so you still got a while to go before you get good. Know what I mean?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln chuckled.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Lincoln said as minutes passed before he needed to address the elephant of the room.

"Babe, can I ask you something?" Lincoln asked with such concern in his voice. Bonnie looked at him and nodded.

"Of course. What is it?" Bonnie replied as Lincoln looked at her with little tears in his eyes. "I know you love me. And I love you with all my heart. And that's why I figured I wanna spend the rest of my years with you, even have kids." Lincoln said as Bonnie went wide eyed to what he had said.

"Where are you going with this?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln got in front of her, got on one knee and pulled out the ring box before opening it to show her.

Bonnie gasped before covering her mouth with her hands. "Bonnie Duncan, will you marry me?" Lincoln asked as he smiled. Bonnie couldn't believe this was happening at this moment. Her boyfriend had just asked her to marry him. This was the moment she had waited for ever since she had gotten back together with him.

"Oh Lincoln. Yes! Yes, I'll marry you!" Bonnie said as tears rolled down her cheek. Lincoln hugged her before she pulled him into a deep kiss.

After a couple minutes of hugging each other and kissing, they stopped and put their foreheads together.

"Bonnie Loud. It's got a ring to it. I love it." Bonnie said before nuzzling Lincoln.

After leaving the rink, they went to Jack and Lindsey's house to tell them the good news.

A/N: Howdy there.

I hope you like the changes.

So, I shall see you in the next one…ADIOS AMIGOS!
