AN: Like I promised, this chapter is out sooner than the last one. Which says alot considering I went ghost for 48 hours playing nothing but NBA 2K19 to make my videos. IT'S GRIND SEASON. I also put off any artwork I had planned to the side so I can focus on this chapter a little bit by little bit. And by the amount of support I keep getting from these chapters, I will continue to do them. Because trust me, this story is far from being over.
Now to user nuuo who noticed that I am a furry, I take the word furry as a compliment, and I'm proud to be one and proud to be in the fandom. Unlike the bullshit I have to put up with in the Loud House Fandom. No hate towards you, I'm just saying that there is a lot of misconceptions about furries. Don't take it the wrong way.
Anyways let's get back to the story. Things are about to heat up.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the loud house. (I'm getting tired of saying this.)
"So you mean…" Polly started.
"Yes Polly, my jerk for a sister Luan set up a April Fools trap in the middle of the night, which my brother became the victim of it, promptly sending Lincoln to the hospital with major injuries." Lynn said as she looked a at her from the corner of her eye.
Polly was shocked beyond the the actual word. She knew that something was going on with her sports friend, but now she understands why she's not acting like her normal self. And to find out that he is hurt and sitting in a hospital bed right now, makes it even worse.
"If I may ask...and I know you don't want to hear the question right now but...why? Why would she do that to her own brother? Let alone her own family?"
Lynn processed her question. It really was a good question. She knows her sister is notorious for doing stuff like this, especially around this time. And it irked her every single time she would seamlessly get away with it without proper repercussions. The athlete's temper started to flare up again, but instead of lashing out, she composed herself, and responded keeping her emotions in check.
"I don't know Polly...I really don't know. I just wish I was there to try and at least stop him before he walked into a practical death trap." She said.
"Lynn, it's not your fault that this happened." Polly tried to comfort her.
Lynn turned and looked at her, "Yes it is Polly! It's my job to protect him from danger, and I failed!" She snapped.
Polly brought her arm in and brought her in for a hug. Lynn's head was now resting under her square shaped chin. She rubbed her with her gloved hand to calm her down while she hugged her. The sports athlete started to tear up and have a couple tears roll down her cheeks. The taller athlete sat there to comfort the preteen for the next couple minutes. Lynn is known to be a tough girl but her brother is where her true side can come out in it's true form. The Loud girl's tears was now reduced to tears as she began to calm herself down.
"Things will be okay Lynn. I promise.
Lynn looked up at her, and then looked back down again. Polly thought of at least something more to cheer her up and make her feel better.
"I'll tell you what...how about I come with you to visit Lincoln tomorrow as soon as school ends? I know he would want to talk to you and vise versa." She offered.
Lynn thought about it for a few seconds, and then she nodded. "So are you gonna be okay?" Polly asked.
"Yeah." She released from their embrace and wiped a tear away with her glove. "I'll manage. Thanks Polly." She slightly smiled.
"Anytime." She said getting up. "Well I have to get home now. It's getting late. If you need someone to talk to, you have my number. Okay?"
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow Polly." Lynn said still sitting on the bench. Polly then grabbed her bag to go head to the locker rooms to go change.
"See ya later Lynn." She smiled and walked away leaving the ports lover by herself, with her thought.
Lynn sat on the bench for the next couple of minutes, contemplating on how she would move forward and continue on until Lincoln recovered. Especially considering how it's only now realizing how much she took him for granted. It's crazy how it only takes seconds to realize how much you care about someone until they are hurt, or god forbid passes away. Not to say that she never loved him, but not interactive with him like they were growing up.
Knowing that it was getting late, she got up from the bench and went to the women's locker room to change and head home as well. Once she changed she left the gym and started to head home. She still wondered how her precious brother was holding up...
At the hospital, and just as promised, the younger siblings, Lori, and the parents came to see Lincoln. Now because they weren't able to see Lincoln the night he was rushed to the hospital, the thought of how his condition was obviously the first thing on their minds all day today from both school, and work. And waiting for the day to be over with, was like waiting to go home on a Friday.
When they arrived to the hospital, Rita signed them in and went to room 356 where it was occupied by Lincoln, while Lynn Sr went to the van to get his bag of goodies and surprises. Even though they didn't want to see him confined in the hospital bed with multiple injurious, but they had to because they wanted to see how he was currently doing. And since they know how bored out of his mind he is sitting around by himself, they got him more than enough surprises to get him through the struggle he was in. The family went to his room and they knocked on the door to see if it was okay to come in.
"Come in!" Lincoln answered to see who was at his door. He was then surprised to see his mom, Lori, and all of his younger siblings (minus Lucy), coming in to visit him. His siblings on the other hand, gasped as they saw their brother in his condition for the very first time. Lily of all people didn't even know what was going on, but she had the knowledge to know that something was wrong with Lincoln.
"Hey…" Lincoln said trying to break the ice, but then immediately got swarmed with gentle hugs from all of his younger siblings, making him wince a little bit.
"Be careful girls, he is still in pain." Rita warned them, making them back up from their hugging fest.
"No I'm okay, my arm doesn't hurt as much. I'm so happy to see you guys."
"Hey son." Lynn Sr greeted while closing the door behind him and carrying a small duffel bag. "How are you holding up?"
Lincoln looked at his bad arm, "I'm doing good...mostly. I've been bored that's all." He said.
"Well I got something that can fix that… He came up to him, sat the bag down on the floor and unzipped it, and lifted him to show him what's inside. Lincoln leaned in to take a look inside, and his eyes lit up with stars. He saw his comic books, small handheld game consoles, laptop, cell phone, a couple toys, and the chargers to all of his electronics. "I didn't know what to bring you specifically...so I just got a mix of every-"
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Lincoln hugged him with his right arm. "I was soooo bored!" He said in such a tired tone. His father gladly returned the hug.
Another knock came from the door to see if it was okay to come in. "It's open!" Rita raised her voice.
The hospital room door opened to reveal that it was no other than Doctor Adams coming to check on his patient. And he was surprised to see both the parents had came to the hospital. Doctor Adams turned to see the oldest sibling and the rest of the younger members of the family who also came to see them, they all gave them his attention now. "Jesus this is one large family. Guess their dad didn't believe in any condoms." He thought in his head. "Hello Loud family, how have you been?" He greeted them.
"Tired and worried that's all I can say…" Rita said truthfully. The tone in her voice made it obvious as well.
The doctor understood their frustration. It's not easy to see your own family in the hospital for any reason. He's seen it all from gunshot victims, to cancer patients, future athletes who've almost had career ending injuries, and even kids who've unfortunately been sent to the hospital. Some pulled through, some didn't, and thankfully he never had to add on to the count of having to tell families that that he is sorry for their loss…
"I feel your pain and frustration. But I've got some good news…" He smiled a little bit.
Everyone immediately became anxious to hear the news he had in store for them. "What's the good news?" The eldest sibling Lori asked.
Adams looked at his clip board, "The good news is is that Lincoln's mild concussion is pretty much gone. And the painkillers that Lincoln's been taking is helping his broken arm heal a little better. We've checked his X-Rays and his shoulder and arm is starting to slowly put itself back into place and heal. Even though it will take about 6 weeks to fully heal both, he should be out of here with a cast in about a week and half to two weeks." He finished.
The Louds that were present was glad to hear this news. At least they know now that he won't be in the hospital for a whole month. Adding in the fact that he is starting to heal properly at a good rate, he's gonna be out of here faster than expected.
"That is good news!" The boy said.
The doctor smiled "The only bad news is I see that's not really all that bad, is that his sprained ankle will still have him in bed for the next couple of days. But my guess is that he'll be up and walking by the end of the week." said.
Lisa tapped her chin and look at her older brother. "Are you sure there's not going to be any reocurring injurious that our male family member can be experiencing in the near future?" Lisa asked the doctor.
"From what I see from his char...there doesn't seem to be anything serious other than slight pain in his arm when he takes off his cast, but that is to be expected because his arm will be set in a certain position and has to get used to using it properly again."
"Thank you doctor, we definitely needed to hear some good news after the day we've all had." Lynn Sr thanked the doctor.
"I'm glad I can be of assistance. I'm going to leave to give you all some private time. If you need me, just call the desk to send me back."
"Will do, thanks again." Rita thanked him. The doctor then left the room and he left the Louds with their son. But All of a sudden, everyone's stomachs started to growl.
"I'm getting hungry." Lana said rubbing her belly.
"Yeah I can eat a good meal right now." Lola added
"Hungee!" Lily reached out while in her mother's hands.
Lynn Sr thought for a good second, and then got an idea. "Who wants some Burpin' Burgers?" Everyone raised their hands to to vote to have burgers. "Well burgers it is. I'll be back to go get them, I'll be back soon." Lynn said walking out the door and exiting the hospital to get the desired food.
"Also Lincoln one more thing, we notified your teachers to let them know you will be out for a couple weeks, and we'll have to bring your homework to you to complete." Rita said sitting down in a nearby chair.
"Uuugh!" Lincoln groaned. "Do I really have to? I do have a broken arm and everything."
"You still have to make it up either way Lincoln." Rita said.
"If it helps I can do it for you." She then turned to see Rita's glare. "...Or at least offer to help you do it." Lisa corrected herself.
"We can help too!" The twins said.
Lincoln smiled, "Thanks you guys...thanks again for coming to see me." He thanked them.
"You're welcome big brother!" Lola said. "We're just glad you are okay."
The rest of the family sat back to watch some TV while Lynn Sr returned with there food. unbeknownst to there would be a situation going on back at the house...
During Lincoln's stay in the hospital, Luna notices Charles sitting outside Lincoln's room door. He looks as if he were expecting the only Loud son to come out. "Aw, what's the matter, pupster? You think Daddy's in there?" Charles nods enthusiastically. Luna bends down on one knee, smiling sadly.
"Daddy's not home now. He's gonna be gone for about a month. Or less, if Aunt Lisa comes up with something in the lab…"
Charles lowers his head, ears following suit. He utters a little whimper. Luna picks up the downcast puppy, full of warmth and caring. "No tears, little dude. You're comin' with us to see Daddy tomorrow. He'll be very happy to see you. Charles, his spirits reignited, licks Luna as she carries him to her and Luan's room.
While Luna was in her and Luan's room, Leni was in her room reading fashion magazines while she waited for her family to return. Lucy was off somewhere only doing who knows what with her spooky self. Meanwhile Luan just came back from performing a show for a family's birthday party. She tried to put as much enthusiasm because she's not going to be able to keep the money for herself, as it is going to Lincoln's hospital bills. But in a way she feels that she doesn't deserve the money after what she did recently. Entered the living room, and took off her rainbow wig and sat it on the couch and went to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Not too long afterwards, Lynn came back tired from her kickboxing session with her sports friend Polly. She entered the living room and closed the front door and locks it. She then notices that Luan's wig is lying around on the couch. She started to get a little bit heated again and she heard noises coming from the kitchen. Lynn drops her bag and walks into the kitchen and stands in the doorway. Once Luan got what she wanted from the fridge she closed it and and turned, only to see Lynn staring and glaring at her.
"Ahh!" Luan jumped in fright. "Lynn you scared me." She said trying to catch her breathe.
Lynn crossed her arms, "Like how you scared all of us last night?" The 13 year old glared.
Luan's heart dropped "Oh here we go…" She said. "Look I said I didn't mean to do that to Lincoln, I didn't know he would walk into my trap."
"More like a deathtrap…" She continued looking at her.
Luan was starting to get a little frustrated now. "Look I had a long day...The last thing I want is to get yelled at right now."
"Oh so you get to go to your stupid birthday parties for the past couple hours, and while Lincoln is in the hospital, you're rolling around in some money! That's so typical of you." Lynn started to raise her voice at Luan.
Luan's temper was now starting to irate "First of all, all the money I'm making is going towards Lincoln's hospital bills as part as punishment. Second of all, shouldn't you be at the hospital visiting Lincoln instead of being at you karate class to get another level belt?" She shot back putting her sandwich and chips down and move towards Lynn.
"One, I was at the kickboxing gym with Polly. Two, I visited Lincoln last night when he got sent to the hospital. And three, you shouldn't be talking because you haven't seen nor talked to Lincoln since his accident. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't visit him at all like you don't care about his well being…" Lynn got a couple inches in her face.
"Like you're one to talk because all you do is abuse him and make his life a living hell by using him as a freaking punch bag to release all of your own stupid, egotistic, frustration!" She yelled.
Lynn's pupils shrank and she gritted her teeth. Luan started to sense that she was getting angry now. She already knew the sports teen was already mad at her, and all she did was add liter fluid on the fire… "Lynn, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say-"
WHAM!
Luan stumbled backwards and her back hit the fridge. She held her nose to see if it was bleeding, fortunately it wasn't bleeding. But that is unfortunate for Lynn. Luan looked back at Lynn to see Lynn clenching her fists and shooting daggers at her. Luan felt her anger starting to boil over and she is foolishly about to make one of the biggest mistakes she could ever make after already landing herself in hot water with her family.
"Okay you wanna fight?" She rubbed her nose one final time. "You got it!" She started to charge at the sports teen looking to teach her a lesson…
AN: I really need to stop leaving my chapter off on cliffhangers. It looks like the younger ones have finally got their chance to see Lincoln, and they are staying strong during this time. Since they are still young, they still don't fully understand life or death yet...well except for Lily, aLola, and possibly Lana. Also it looks like Lincoln is heading towards a speedy recovery. And oh boy, Luan should've watched her mouth with that abuse comment.
And Yes I've seen the new Lynn episodes for the actual canon of the show, both Sitting-Bull and Middle Men. And I can say is...SUCK MY DICK TO ALL OF THOSE WHO EVER SAID LYNN ABUSES LINCOLN AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT LINCOLN! These episodes were a masterpiece!
Now we'll see who wins this brawl between Lynn and Luan. Also, for all of those wondering, I'm still alive and kicking, I've just been extremely busy starting up my art commissions, school, youtube and everything in between. And I'm satisfied I got this chapter out before Halloween. I'm getting back into a rhythm right now and I will try to be faster this time. I hope you guys enjoyed, I'll see you guys next chapter.
PLZ Review.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
