AN: Due to the massive amount of support and love I got on the first chapter of the story, I just HAD to get started on the next chapter ASAP. And this chapter was well worth staying up all night for to complete. Chapter three is in the works as we speak, and it should be up in about a week if I type 2 or 3 pages a day. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of The Loud House.

Lincoln's injuries were so severe in a situation like this, that Rita and Lynn Sr simply could not wait on an ambulance to come get him and take him to the hospital. They had to take matters into their own hands. Because first of all, when you call 911 they do not make it there on time for anything. And second of all, for all they know Lincoln could have died right there on the spot if he had taken more damage for a boy his size and age. So it would have been no need to call for an ambulance, but instead a funeral home to make arrangements to bury their only son.

As Lincoln's parents scooped him up and carried him into vanzilla, the rest of their children wanted to come with them to make sure Lincoln was okay. Not all of them could go because some of them were too young to stay up this late. And they were a little too young to understand what was going on with their brother. Well except for Lisa who pretty much knows everything. So Lori agreed to stay behind and look after and watch Lily, Lisa, Lola, and Lana. So that meant Lucy, Lynn, Luna and Leni got to go with them to the hospital. Luan pretty much went into hiding somewhere in the house. Too guilty to even go to the hospital to see how bad Lincoln's injuries were that she caused.

The ride to the hospital was unrelaxing and nerve racking to say the least. Lincoln was lying down in the row of seats behind his parents. Right in between Lucy and Luna who were trying to talk to him and try to get an answer out of him, but they were left with a steady heartbeat coming from the child. Lynn was in the back seat holding his left hand, slowly squeezing it every once in awhile to see if Lincoln could feel it and wake up. But that didn't work either. Soon all of his sisters that was in the car all start to form tears in their eyes as their hearts raced as the worst possible outcomes started to form in the back of their minds.

It had to be no more than 10 minutes to get to the nearest hospital in their area. It would have been 20 if Lynn Sr didn't push the pedal to the metal and make all the lights on the way over there. When they arrived at the hospital, he was taken into children's section of the hospital. Where they specialize in situations like hit and runs, kids running with scissors, you know normal daily accidents that involve children getting hurt. The partial family watched their son and brother rushed to the ER on a gurney and go past the double doors. The doctors told them that they can wait in the waiting room until they get a full diagnostics of injuries that Lincoln has at the moment. The doctor also said that he will most likely go through surgery. Something that almost none of them wanted to hear, but they expected it considering he has a broken arm. And that's just one of his injuries.

The Louds arrived at the hospital at around 10:45 pm. They were now sitting in the waiting room for almost 20 to 30 minutes, and it was possibly one of the longest 20 to 30 minutes they all had to sit through. And for it being only a little bit past 11:00 pm, there was no one in the waiting room besides them because of the circumstances. A small breeze could be felt in the air as it runs across and through the threads of their night wear. Of course they didn't throw on their normal clothes because nobody has time for that in a life or death situation, so they just threw on some shoes, a jacket, and some pants in Leni, and Luna's case since all they were when they go to bed. So they quickly ran to through on something on their legs and hit the road. There was so much silence in the waiting room that no one wanted to say anything. But something had to be said.

"Mom, is bro gonna be okay?" Luna spoke up and asked her mother that was sitting next to her.

Rita saw this question coming from a mile away…"To be honest Luna, we really don't know if Lincoln is going to be okay. But I'll tell you one thing, he is not going to die. That I promise." Rita says pulling Luna in for a hug as soon as she notices tears in her eyes.

"If I know Lincoln, he's strong and tough, I know he'll get through this." Lynn silently said to them still wrapping her mind around this situation.

A couple more minutes go by and finally the doctor finally walked out of the double doors and towards the boy's family.

"Mr and Mrs Loud? My name is Doctor Adams, I came to tell you how your son is holding up." The tall doctor said to them.

"Will my son be okay?" Lynn Sr desperately asked the doctor.

"Well the good news is, that he is awake, alive, and in stable condition." This earns a sigh of relief from all of the present family members in the room. "The bad news however…" This gained their attention again. "Due to the amount of times and the amount of weight that was dropped onto his head, he has a major concussion. He also has a broken left arm, and a fractured left shoulder. His spine and a couple of his ribs were cracked due to the weight of the refrigerator that you said collapsed on him. As well as a sprained left wrist and ankle." Making the whole family wince at the amount of pain that he just described. "Facial injuries are not that severe. Only a black eye and a small bruise next to his eye. He'll just need ice on it for like a day or two, and it will disappear on its own."

"How long will he be in the hospital for?" Asked Leni.

"Well considering the time it will take for his your son's arm to heal so he can wear a cast, and his concussion to go away, he will most likely be staying here for the next 3 weeks, maybe 4 at best." Doctor Adams explained to them.

"Can we go see him right now?" Rita asked the doctor.

"Of course you can, his surgery went well, and they moved him into a hospital room. Follow me, he is in room 356." He started walking and the Louds started following him to the room their beloved family member was in.

Back at the house, everyone minus Luan was losing their minds all over the place. They just woke up to see their only brother past out underneath a 300 pound refrigerator that collapsed on top of him. They wanted to go with them to the hospital but their parents said that they couldn't because they need their sleep for school tomorrow. And they were desperately knowing the condition their brother Lincoln was in. Lori told them that she would get in touch with their parents and let them know how Lincoln was doing. So she ushered them back to bed where they didn't seem like they wanted to go to bed yet, but Lori promised them they would wake them as soon as she gets confirmation about Lincoln's current condition.

Lily on the other hand, wanted to see her big brother right that moment. And it seemed like she wouldn't stop crying. So Lori had pulled up one of the many pictures of her brother, and showed it to Lily, who almost immediately stopped crying. But to make sure, she showed the infant multiple shots of Lincoln to make her think that Lincoln was okay, and get her to go back to bed. And believe it or not, it worked. So Lori took Lily from her room, back to herand Lisa's room gently laid her in her crib and put her blanket on top of her. Kissing on her cheek goodnight. She then went back to her room and stayed up for little while longer to wait on a text-back from her mom about her brother.

'Why Luan? Just why?' The eldest blonde thought to herself

Luan was in the basement hiding in the darkness. Not wanting to be seen by anyone. She was silently crying and sobbing, knowing that she put her own brother in the hospital. Luan was also crying because she could have almost killed him as well if it was any worse. Her mind was replaying the accident over and over again like there was no pause, or skip button. She could not get that image out of her mind. And what makes the situation worse is that she doesn't know the full details on her brother's condition. She wanted to go to the hospital with them, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She knew that if her brother woke up while they were visiting, she would not want to see her. Lincoln would probably hate her for who knows how long.

Luan then started to think about all the other April Fool's pranks that she had done over the years. The April Fool's involving Ronnie Anne, the hotel she made her father buyout so she could prank her family, and the other April Fool's when she payed of the stunt doubles that the family payed off so they can take the pranks instead of them. And looking back on them, those pranks really could have gotten her family hurt, put in danger, or possibly killed. Not to mention embarrassing her family as well. And that only refilled the waterworks in her eyes.

Doctor Adams guided the Louds that was at the hospital towards the room that Lincoln was in. He had just gotten out of necessary surgery for his injury. They got to the outside of the door, the doctor said that he'll allow them a few minutes to be able to see him since it is past visiting hours. Seeing that they don't have much options, they may as well see him while they have the chance.

They walked into the room 356, and all of their hearts dropped at the sight that they were looking at. Lincoln was asleep in the hospital bed. He didn't have too many internal injuries so the doctors didn't have to give him any breathing tubes or oxygen masks. But the rest that the doctor described to them was well expected. His left arm was broken it was set in a full arm cast to support the broken arm and the fractured shoulder, and his wrist was wrapped to help that sprain. Lincoln also had his head wrapped after they checked out his concussion. His x-rays showed that no portions of his skull were cracked nor did he suffer brain damage. So that was one less thing him and them needed to worry about. Under the blanket, his left ankle was wrapped and supported with a ankle brace to help protect and heal that pain too.

They all slowly and quietly surround the bed to be more up close to the young boy. The head of the bed was against a wall in the middle of the room, so there was plenty of room for the family to spread out around the bed. Lynn Sr and Rita was on Lincoln's left side, admiring the cast that was around his arm. Lucy, Lynn, Luna, and Leni stood on his right. All four of them just wanted to hug him and show their comfort for him. But before they could do so, Lincoln's body sensed the heat coming from other people around him. His body then alerted his brain to see who was it that was in the room, or more specifically, right next to him. Lincoln slowly opened his eyes to his family standing all around him.

"Guys?" He struggled to try and sit up, but winced at the sharp pain made him shoot back down in his bed.

"Take it easy Lincoln, you just got out of surgery. The doctor said that you will be here for the next few weeks." Lucy said to him.

"Surgery?" Lincoln asked, looking at his left arm and noticing the full arm cast that was set. He then used his right hand to feel his head and felt that it was wrapped in a gauze. "I'm in the hospital?"

"Yes Lincoln, we he had to take you to the hospital after that prank from the Luan." Leni told him.

"Luan…." He repeated in a low tone as he lowered his eyebrows.

His parents noticed the tone of his voice. Obviously he didn't forget the prank that landed him in the hospital any time soon.

"Don't worry Lincoln, we'll deal with Luan as soon as we get home. She's definitely did it this time." Lynn Sr said to his son.

"Okay." Lincoln quietly said.

"Well Lincoln, we got to home now. We can't stay because visiting hours are over and the doctor only allowed us a few minutes to actual come see you." Rita said.

"Well what about everyone else?" Lincoln asked his mother.

"Well everyone couldn't come tonight, but I'm sure they want to visit you, and we'll ask if they want to visit you the tomorrow after school." Rita said to her son.

"Okay."

"Well, we got to go. Bye Lincoln." Lynn Sr said as they started heading towards the door.

"Goodbye little bro." Lynn Jr said walking as well.

"Goodbye older brother, try not to die." Lucy said to him all demonically.

"See you later bro." Luna said leaving through the door.

"Bye Lincoln." Leni waved at him as she closed the door behind her. Leaving Lincoln all by himself. All alone.

"Bye, I guess…" Lincoln started to sniffle.

Lincoln had never stayed overnight at a hospital before. Nor has he ever been treated at a hospital for life threatening and serious injuries. And the fact that he was all alone, in a place that was outside of his own house, or his best friend Clyde's house for that matter, only made him feel homesick already. And he'll won't see any of them again until they get out of school and work tomorrow. The snow haired child reached for the a remote on his bed that would turn the lights of in the room with his good hand. Once the main lights were off, he reached for the string that goes to the lamp on his desk, shutting that one off as well. The glare from the night sky illuminated the room as the young boy covered most of his body with the blanket they provided him. As he drifted off to sleep, a few tears slowly rolled down his freckled cheeks while he silently cried himself to sleep…

The family had left the hospital and went there way back to the house. The children were less sad than they were before Lincoln arrived at the hospital. Lucy, Luna, and Leni were all in a better mood and happy to see their brother doing alright for the most part. Lynn however stayed silent since they left for the hospital. Other than saying goodbye to her brother, Lynn Jr didn't say much. And the parents noticed it too. She's obviously stirring inside from that stunt that Luan pulled on her brother. Maybe they should consider keeping an eye on her in case if she has a bone to pick with her older sister.

Rita and Lynn Sr was already thinking about punishments for Luan. One of the punishments they had in mind was having her help them pay for Lincoln's hospital bills, obviously. One of the other punishments they had in mind was to indefinitely ground her until further notice. Taking away any of her money earned from her scheduled funny business events she has planned for the next few weeks. It was a start of punishments, but they will deal with her when they get back home. Rita saw Lori's text message asking how Lincoln was doing, and Rita replied with the full details on Lincoln's condition. Saying that they will be home soon.

Vanzilla slowly pulled up in the driveway. Everyone in the van saw the looks on Lynn and Rita's face so they will just go upstairs and not get involved in the scolding they will give Luan. Once the doors opened, the four siblings that were with them quickly got up the steps, went to their room and shut the door behind them. Not wanting to hear anything they are about to tell Luan. Once the two parents heard their doors closed they went to the living room to call Luan.

"LUAN! LIVING ROOM! RIGHT NOW!" Lynn Sr's voice boomed throughout the walls of the house. Almost waking up the others who are sleeping right now.

They expected her to come down the steps to meet them in the living room, but to their surprise, they heard the basement door open from the kitchen and saw the fourteen year old girl slowly walk towards them in the living room. They both noticed that she has puffy red eyes and a couple fresh tears on her cheek.

'At least Luan's guilty about what she's done.' Rita thought to herself.

They ushered Luan to sit on the couch, and they stood in front of her. Luan had her head hanging looking at the floor and her bunny slippers. Luan did want them to look up at them. Her parents waited until they gave them her full attention. It took a good 45 seconds, but they were finally met with Luan's eyes.

"I'm just gonna ask you one question and I want a full, honest answer…" Lynn rubbed his forehead in frustration. "Why did you do it?" He asked her daughter.

Luan took a seconds to respond "I...I wanted to do at l-least one prank before April Fool's was over-r." She paused "But...I didn't h-have anytime to plan any pranks for this year. So I came up with a-a prank at the last minute." Luan explained.

"You do realize because of your prank, it caused your brother to go to the hospital?" Lynn's tone grew as he told her.

The guilt is absolutely killing Luan at this point "I-I didn't mean to put Lincoln in the hospital. I didn't mean for any of this t-to happen-"

"But Luan, that's what happened!" Rita chimed in making Luan flinch. "You may not have meant to put your brother in the hospital, but that was effect of your cause." Rita finished.

"And on top of it, Lincoln is going to be in the hospital for the next six weeks because of you!" Lynn sr scolded her daughter, making Luan stream a few more tears. "Because of that refrigerator collapsing on top of him, it broke his arm, fractured his shoulder, and gave him a concussion. And that's only about half of his injuries that he has."

"...I'm sorry, I didn't-"

"Sorry, isn't gonna cut it this time! Year after year, you terrorize your family with pranks, whether if it is or isn't on April Fool's. And me and your mother is taking responsibility for behavior. We ALLOW you do this kind of stuff every single year, and the only thing we ever do to stop you, is HIDE from you, or just sit down and take it. But this time, we're laying down the law this time." Lynn Sr raised his voice at her making Luan shrink down and whimper in the couch. "You are grounded indefinitely until Lincoln gets back to 100 percent. You will also not be allowed to crack any jokes or puns around the house either. And you can forget about pranking anyone while being grounded. And as a part of your punishment, you will be helping us pay for Lincoln's medical bills. And whatever money that you make from your funny business, will go towards Lincoln's hospital bills as well. And you're lucky that we're allowing you to make EyeTube videos." He finished.

"And I'm sure I can be able to trust you not to test the waters of your punishment can I?" Rita asked and Luan nodded yes in response.

"Good, now go to bed and think about what you've done." Lynn Sr pointed to upstairs, and she slowly got off the couch and went upstairs and went to bed.

"As a matter a fact, I think we should be heading off to bed too." Rita turned and looked at Lynn.

"Yeah I think you're right." He replied.

The two parents went off to bed as they thought about the punishments they gave her daughter. They thought they were good, sufficient punishments for Luan. They could have sent her to Aunt Ruth's house every weekend, but since she already feels guilty, it wouldn't be necessary. But then again, this was only just the start, of what was going to happen next…

AN: I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I'm glad I wasn't really doing anything during spring break to get back to writing fanfics again. But I mainly wanted to get this done today, because I have to go to my aunt's funeral tomorrow. She passed away from cancer and there was nothing else that the doctors could do to save her.

Anyways, chapter 3 is in the works right now and it should be up in about a week. Thanks for all the love and support, and I will talk to you all in the next chapter.
