The tape went in, the screen displaying clear blue with the words play in white in the upper-right corner. An unsuspecting group of siblings sat and watched as the VCR hummed to life, showing a glimpse of the past of a family moment. A moment that unbeknownst to them held a special place in most of their hearts.

2009 Loud House

The screen showed three young girls Luna (age 8), Luan (age 7), and Lynn Jr. (age 6) all huddled together watching television. The camera maintained its watch on them for a bit before turning to the right showing a young Lincoln Loud (age 4) playing blocks with his infant sister Lucy (age 1) in front of the stairs in the foyer.

"Aw, my babies.", Rita (age 35) proudly proclaimed behind the camera.

"Makes me want to have another.", Lynn Sr. (age 36) added as he gave Rita a slight pinch in her rear.

"Now calm down stud. We should wait awhile and see if we can manage the seven we already we have.", She countered as she playfully pushed Lynn Sr.'s hand away.

Rita kept watch over Linc and Lucy until an approaching noise of crying coming from the front door made her pull a complete one-eighty. Lori (age 10) then came barging in through with puffed up eyes, a red beet face, and a concerned Leni (age 9) in hand being towed along. Immediately concerned Rita passed the camcorder to her husband and approached Lori while the three sisters on the couch turned off the T.V. and moved closer to see what the commotion was all about.

"What's the matter sweetie?", Rita asked concernedly.

Lori simply looked at her mother with eyes streaming tears once again as she struggled to speak coherently. "I, I told Robert that I liked him a lot at the park today and asked him if he wanted to be my boyfriend and he, he just laughed at me and said n-no~!"

Lori let go of Leni's hand and held her mother tightly, sobbing into her bosom.

"Aw, there there sweetie. I don't know who this Robert is, but I can tell you he's not very smart cause you are a very interesting girl with a lot to offer."

"Plus your ten, shouldn't even date till your 18 and out of the house.", Lynn Sr. whispered to himself, staying out of Rita's attempt to comfort their eldest child.

"B-but mom!" Lori stammered. "W-what if, what if it's because I'm u-ugly?!"

Lori looked at her mother for some assurance, but before she could squash the silly notion Lori stated a young voice interjected.

"Lori you're not ugly! You're beautiful!"

The camera moved to the left to reveal it was young Lincoln who spoke out.

Lori halted her tears, a bit taken aback and unsure of what she heard. "H-huh?"

Linc pushed all the blocks out of his way and gently picked up Lucy before he approached his distraught sister. "You're one of the most beautiful girls in the world!"

"R-really?", Lori said with a slowly forming smile and cheeks remaining red not from being upset but from a slowly forming joy.

"Uh-huh." He reassured. "The other most beautiful girls in the world are Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn and Lucy."

Upon mention of their names each girl blushed while Lucy simply giggled from hearing her own.

Lori's smile deepened and she rushed towards Lincoln embracing him in a tight hug while being careful not to smother Lucy. "Thank you, Linc that means a lot to me. I literally feel better already."

The other sisters immediately followed suit and joined in on the hug too, hearts still tender from their brother's proclamation.

"That Robert is just a big fat dummy." Lincoln stated. "I'll be your boyfriend!"

Lori chuckled. "Oh? You going to take me out on dates?"

"Yes!"

"You'll have to get money."

"I'll work for dad!"

Lynn Sr. chuckled to Lincoln's answer as he kept listening.

"You will have to take care of me forever and ever."

"I'll marry you!"

Lori giggled uncontrollably, her heart bursting with happiness on how much her little brother was lovingly devoted to her. "Do you promise Lincoln?"

"Promise with all my heart. I'll marry all of you and take care of you so you can have fun all day and be happy.", Linc vowed to all his sisters, receiving even tighter hugs from each of them.

"That's a pretty big promise Lincy. Sure you can take care of all of us?", Leni questioned with a big goofy grin.

"Mhm, I'll always love all of you forever and ever!"

The siblings stayed together in tight embrace as their parents watched with joy in their eyes.

"Only four and he's already taking care of his sisters.", Rita delightfully said.

"Heh, he's going to be quite the lady killer when he gets older.", Lynn Sr. stated with a full toothy grin as he turned off the camcorder and popped out the VHS tape.

"Alright kids lets go and see what we can get for lunch." Said Rita as she herded her children into the dining room.

Knowing he'd be the one to cook his family's meal Lynn Sr. lightly sped to his room and promptly picked up a sharpie from his nightstand. He put the camcorder away and held the tape on its side as he pondered what he should put as its title.

"Hm, now what will your name be? Ah, I got it!", He chuckled as he wrote in his idea.

"Lynn honey!" Rita called out. "The girls and prince charming have a hankering for your goulash!"

"On my way!", Lynn Sr. Replied while he stuck the tape into his family video collection.

Upon the bedroom door closing the lined stack of tapes slanted with it's newest addition laying horizontal in the cabinet, it read Lincoln's Promise.

A simple tape one would think at first glance, though when next it would be played it would stir up a flurry of emotions within the loud house and send the only boy Lincoln on the ride of his life.

-8 years later- August 5, 2017 Lincoln's Room Saturday Mid-morning: Lincoln

It was a normal Saturday within the confines of the Loud House, each member going about their usual routines. In the eldest sisters' room Lori (age 18) was speaking to her boo-boo-bear Bobby on her cell while Leni (age 17) was messing with her newest design idea a few feet away from her. Luna (age 16) was in her room fiddling with her guitar trying to think of lyrics for a new song she was working on while her roommate Luan (age 15) was at her computer coming up with new jokes and checking her comedy website.

Lynn (age 14) was outside in the backyard performing a variety of sports exercises to keep herself prepped for her many competitions while in contrast Lucy (age 9) was located within the vents working on her poetry and enjoying the enveloping darkness. The twins were busy arguing at each other in their room Lola (age 7 younger) being upset at Lana (age 7 older) for not being able to get a handle of her animals resulting in them crashing her tea party while Lana argued they were just being friendly. Lisa (age 5) the proverbial genius of the family was in her room analyzing the results from her most recent experiment as the youngest of the family, baby Lilly (age 2), was playing with her blocks inside her crib.

Yes, indeed it was a normal day for all. Normal, except for the only male child in the family.

Lincoln Loud (age 12) unlike his usual routine, of reading his Ace Savvy comics in his underwear, was simply staring at the ceiling pondering at the feeling of his recent realization. He was alone, not in the sense of family or friends but in the matters of just having that special someone by his side. Someone he could just gaze at and lose all conception of time with, someone he could just laugh with over the tiniest things, someone to love. Sure, there was Ronnie Ann but any chance of that happening flew out the window with her move to her extended family's apartment a few months ago. It was nice to see her and speak with her over the webcam but those times were far and in-between.

"She probably made some friends, I'm happy for her.", Linc softly uttered while he ruminated and sighed lamentingly.

He wished he could take back encouraging her to stay with her family as he couldn't do it now.

Lincoln shifted to his side and stared at his wall. "It would be selfish and wrong if I begged for her to come back now."

This was going to be a long day he thought as a knock came to his door. Before he could answer Lynn barged right in, her buoyant energy a polar opposite of Linc's downed state.

"Hey Linc." His grim demeanor was all to noticeable as he turned to face her. "You okay?"

"No, not really."

"Want to talk about it?"

"Not at the moment."

Lynn was a bit bummed naturally to see Linc in this mood. "Well, I was going to ask you if you wanted to help me practice my soccer kicks by being my goalie, but you want to play catch to take your mind off things instead?"

Lincoln pondered for a moment before answering. "Yeah, that sounds good to me right about now."

Lynn burst into an eager smile.

"Awesome, I'll go get the ball and gloves and meet you outside!", She said as she left as quickly as she came in.

Linc got up from his bed and stretched before heading out himself. He was actually feeling a bit better, more energetic even, knowing Lynn cared about how he was feeling and it showed in a slight smile, the first of the day.

The rest of the day followed the same tune, after he spent some quality time with Lynn his other sisters helped keep his mind from his personal dilemma by them asking him to help in their daily habits. By the end of the day after dinner Lincoln had a full-blown smirk stuck on his face as he headed to his room to clock out for the day. He slipped out of his clothes to his bare briefs and laid back on his bed, his thoughts wandering on all that happened during the day.

"Today, wasn't that bad." Lincoln said to himself. "Heh, I'm actually glad Lynn came in without asking for once."

He really appreciated his sisters today, in fact almost always one of his beloved siblings was there whenever he needed emotional support, or just someone to talk to, or be with whether they knew he was in a sad state or not. He smiled to himself thinking he would do anything to maintain their happiness, it was one of the few things that brought him joy still today.

He pictured all of them in his mind, faces all smiling.

"I love you all.", He contently said as he slowly drifted into the gentle embrace of unconsciousness.

Lynn Sr. and Rita's Room Saturday Evening

Meanwhile, the parents of the Loud family were preparing for bed, or at least Rita (age 43) was as Lynn Sr. (age 44) was busy dusting a few things off, noticing it had been awhile since he cleaned up his home movie cabinet.

Rita cringed a bit when she noticed the dust particles being brushed into the air as she slipped into her nightgown. "Dear do you have to do that now?"

"If I don't do it now I'll just forget to do it tomorrow.", Lynn Sr. countered.

"Well at least dust the tapes out of our room."

"Alright fair enough."

Lynn Sr. bent over and proceeded to stack up the tapes, unintentionally giving his wife a nice view of his rear before he headed out to the living room. She smiled devilishly from his visual gift as she got up and thought it had been a while since her and Lynn's last union while she slipped off her undergarments save the nightgown itself. In the living room Lynn Sr. placed the heavy stack of tapes with a small grunt on the coffee table and was about to get to work when Rita poked her head out of their room.

"Oh Lynn dear~.", Rita purred.

"Yes?", Lynn Sr. replied as he turned to face his wife and froze upon viewing her.

Rita stood leaning against their bedroom door frame, her nightgown held up only by her left arm as it squished her generous bust. Lynn's eyes traced downward along her creamy plump body and stuck to her rotund rear, the lack of cotton gracing her thick hips painstakingly noticeable. His focus returned to her face and their eyes met, his baby maker coming to attention as she looked at him with a licentious gaze.

"I was thinking it's been a good while since we've shown our love in a more." Rita noticed the bulge in his pants and bit her bottom lip. "Deeper fashion and I figured, well."

She stood straight and bared her naked lower half to her partner. "If you wanted to have a little, or long session before bed."

Not stupid enough to pass the invitation up Lynn Sr. immediately dropped his feather duster and bolted into the room, scooping up Rita as he entered and slamming the door shut with his foot. As the sounds of giggling and bed springs slightly slipped out from the Loud parent's room the tapes remained dust covered in the center of the living room. One such tape was only partially covered in dust, some of it wiped off from Lynn grabbing it earlier, it's only visible word being Promise.
