Mother to my Cloned Brother.
(S. Loud Residence.)
Multiple cars make an arrival to the home of Luna and Sam. The day before they all had a good old grade school reunion, and afterwards the chosen people were given the address to come to a certain place.
One car, a grey and brown station wagon, coming out is Clyde McBride. Now a 22 year old grown adult and with no conditions anymore, he's wearing a white shirt with a brown jacket, brown pants and black shoes. But when he goes to work he is running the new bakery at Tuscola, Clyde didn't really go far when he moved out, so he stayed at the state neighboring Saginaw. Clyde is the man who owns the bakery McBride's pastries, I guess he got one dream accomplished.
The next car is a light green electric car and coming out is Rusty Spokes, 22 years old and his red hair is now trimmed into that of a military buzz cut, but during his high school days he looked like a hippie. Now he's different, he's wearing a yellow shirt and green sweater, blue jeans and brown shoes. He resides at Genesee and with his wife Polly they help run the Flint Spokes n' Pain gym, what's with the name?
Another car is a black ford mustang and the man driving it is Zach Gurdle, his hair seems the same as it was before, except he has some side burns now and he no longer uses glasses, only contact lenses and like the others he is also 22 years old, wearing a white polo with an alien logo in the back and a sweater vest with a flower on the right side, grey baggy pants and white sneakers. He does alien searching as a hobby, not an addiction, but he does run the party store alongside his wife Giggles in Corunna, Shiawassee.
Looks like there three friends from Lincoln's old crew stayed in places that still neighbored the state that had Royal Woods, also coming there in their vehicles is Principal Jordan Rosato.
And two people who never really left Royal Woods, Liam and Tabby Gurdle. Liam with long hair now tied into a ponytail, a bit muscular if you ask me (Farming can really change a Guy.) white shirt, red flannel sleeveless jacket, brown knee ripped jeans and brown boots.
Tabby still has her hair the same, only it's longer in the back. Pink top, purple jacket with white straps, blue skirt, black leggings and white boots with brown straps, some piercings on her face and belly button and three types of earrings on her ears, also she's wearing magenta eye shadow.
All of them look towards the house, Clyde, Zach and Rusty have no idea why they are there. They couldn't bring their lovers with them because they were too busy with some stuff, and they wanted the former gang of Lincoln's to go to the reunion and meet up like old times, and as Clyde would say. "For Lincoln's sake and that he would've wanted us to meet up again."
"Okay. So, does anyone know why we're here?" asked Rusty. He looks to the others who have no clue as well. "Anyone? Seriously?" Clyde has no clue and neither does Zach. "So, why did we come here a day after the reunion at Royal Woods Elementary?"
Jordan walks up to the door, she then turns around. "You boys coming or what?" Also following her are Liam and Tabby.
"Come on fellas, it's gonna be worth it" replied Liam.
"And no you wankers, we're not pranking any of you" replied Tabby.
Zach the sniffs the air. "Nope, there's no prank." Clyde and rusty look towards him confused. "What? Hanging around with my wife all the time, I'm used to pranks that it even has a smell."
"What does a prank smell like?" asked Rusty nervously.
"An assortment of different things, either flowers, bird seed, glue or mud" replied Zach.
"Hey!" they look towards Jordan, Liam and Tabby. "You fellas coming or what?"
They all follow them and stand outside of the door. "Okay, so you guys ready for this?" asked Jordan.
"No" replied Zach, Rusty and Clyde.
Jordan then knocks on the door and then they hear someone coming, the door opens and right in front of them was Luna Loud, the third older sister of Lincoln, and the loudest in the family. "Hey guys, you all made it! Come on in."
Just then they all hear the sound of a car horn, they all turn around and they see the one person who was at the reunion who is now late.
The car is a blue pick-up truck, and it looks like one of those trucks used to carry some delivery boxes and supplies for stores.
Coming out is a 22 year old Hispanic woman, long black hair now tied into a ponytail, purple off shoulder tank top, black shirt inside, blue jeans, magenta socks and black boots. Ronalda Santiago, or Ronnie Anne by her friends.
They were shocked she came. "Huh, you're late. Just like from last night during the reunion" replied Jordan. The others also recall that Ronnie Anne did came late last night during the reunion party.
"Sorry guys, I had to get her fueled up and meet up with some old friends of mine. I'm here now" Ronnie Anne then sees Luna. "Hey there Luna, so why are we here again?"
Luna steps aside. "Come in people, we have a lot to talk about." They all follow her into the house and they were all impressed, and they also see some cameras in the rooms and hallways.
"Wow, this place sure is big" said Rusty. "This building has the same height as the gym Polly and I run, thought the rooms aren't that spacey."
"You could fit an entire party in here, or an observation crew" replied Zach.
"I wonder what the kitchen looks like and the instruments used for the place" replied Clyde
This made Zach chuckle. "Good one Clyde!"
Clyde is confused at why that was funny. "What do you mean? What'd I say that was funny?"
"You said you wanted to see the kitchen and the instruments they use! Which is what Luna does, she does musical instruments and … " He notices they were all looking at him confused and not getting the joke. Zach scoffs "Never mind, Giggles would've loved the pun though."
"Okay. So, all of you get yourselves comfortable, I have some things to talk to you four" said Luna. They all get comfortable on the couch, and it fits all four of them. Ronnie Anne, Clyde, Zach and Rusty.
While Luna sits on the other couch with Jordan, Liam and Tabby.
"So, besides the new home and the new look. How have you been Luna?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"Good, good. Sam and I are married and we're living happily with our kid and our enhanced defenses and I somewhat hate most of my family" replied Luna.
They had no clue what to think of what Luna had just said. "Uh huh, so before we go on asking about personal things, which of the louds are you on good terms with?" asked Clyde.
"That would be Leni, Luan and Lily" replied Luna. "I removed Luan and Leni from the restraining order so they can see our kid and Sam and I trust them, Lily is now our kid's babysitter when the others aren't around and she helps keep an eye on him at school. Rita, Lynn Sr, Lori and Lynn Jr are a whole other story, last week Junior pulled a crazy stunt and almost took way my kid and therefore she's now spending the next five years in jail."
"Oh, so that's what some of the people in town are talking about" said Rusty. "I did see Margo and she told me about what happened to Lynn-sanity."
"And I don't think these security stuff is used for alien protection" said Zach. "Seems like their used for keeping your family safe from the old family you used to trust. Mostly your kid."
"That you're right on Zach" replied Luna. "We have cameras, motion sensors, fire alarms, burglar alarms and emergency panic room. Sam and I are also trained in using guns and some hand-to=hand combat, we took some lessons from the same detectives who helped us those many years ago."
Rusty wanted to say something but he decides to change his words. "So, have you even thought about moving out of Royal Woods? To get away from the family you sorta hate."
"Sam and I thought not to, it would be too much of a hassle to move all our things and also search for a place to stay and that would also mean our kid would have to start his life for school all over again" replied Luna. "Besides, we're better here in good old Royal Woods. Makes me feel close to him." She sheds a small tear.
The others also understand, they know why she would stay. So she can be close to her deceased brother, they long gone friend and leader of the pack. The man with the plan Lincoln Loud.
Ronnie Anne then looks to Luna, after they all regain their composure of recalling they're gone pal. "So Luna, you and Sam are married which is good and you two must've had a rough choice to make this family of yours happen. So who's the donor?"
Luna looks to her confused. "I'm sorry what?" Jordan, Liam and Tabby realized how awkward this was gonna get.
"The donor. The sperm donor, the guy who gave it to either you or Sam, the reason why you have a kid" replied Ronnie Anne. "Who was it? One of your band mates?"
Clyde, Zach, Rusty, Liam, Tabby and Jordan are now feeling the heaviness of this conversation. "This is awkward" said Tabby.
Luna's right eye twitches and some part of her wanted to throw up. "Okay, no one was the donor. Sam and I haven't even met any guy who would lay it down on us."
"And it got even more awkward" said Zach.
"So, adopted kid then?" asked Ronnie Anne. "I mean it make sense you and Sam took in a kid from an orphanage."
Luna sighs. "No, we didn't." She then calls out. "Sam, Lincoln. You guys can come in now." Ronnie Anne, Zach, Rusty and Clyde remained silent at what she just said.
"What?"
Then they hear footsteps, they all get up from the couch and turn around to see Sam S. Loud, coming down the stairs and she was carrying someone who looked nervous, they had their jaws dropped seeing the kid. White hair, orange clothing, chipped tooth for some reason freckles and the same look he has when he was shy.
"Lincoln?!"
"Shh! Guys, please. He's nervous when it comes to new people" said Sam as she arrives. She then places Lincoln onto the couch next to Luna. Luna hugs her son and kisses his forehead.
"There's my little man, how was your nap sweetie?" asked Luna as she hugs him.
"I woke up when I heard a car horn honk, also my window wasn't closed" replied Lincoln. "And mommy Sam fell asleep and got freaked out when she heard the car horn honk."
Luna looks to Sam who chuckles nervously. "Sorry, I passed out after singing him the lullaby."
Ronnie Anne, Clyde, Rusty and Zach are all stunned at what they see. "Hang on a minute! Why does this kid look like Lincoln?! Why is he named Lincoln?! And is he adopted or did either one of you give birth to him?!"
"And the awkward level has been raised up to eleven" replied Tabby. Liam also agrees and turns red.
Luna sees how nervous her son was from Ronnie Anne's outburst and this triggers her motherly instincts. Luna looks to Ronnie Anne sternly. "Sit. Down. We'll explain everything if you guys would just calm down."
Ronnie Anne sighs and sits back down. Clyde looks to the boy. "Lincoln?"
The little boy looks towards them. "He-Hello …. Are …. Are you all f-friends with m-my mom's?"
Rusty felt like fainting and Zach felt like throwing up. "Umm, can you guys tell us what happened?" asked Zach.
Luna sighs and looks to Jordan. "Can you please take Lincoln to the family den and read to him, we have to talk to them alone." She helps Lincoln off the couch and he goes over to Jordan.
"Sure thing" Jordan holds Lincoln's hand. "Come on Lincoln, let's find you something to read." They then head to the neighboring room, they leave the door open a bit so they can still see Lincoln and Jordan, and they pick out a book and read it on the rocking chair. They all watch Jordan reading Lincoln a book and both of them laughing a bit.
"So, what the heck happened?" asked Rusty. Clyde, Zach and Ronnie Anne also want to know the truth, though Clyde looks nervous and confused and is still looking at the 4 year old reading.
Luna and Sam, along with some knowledge from Liam and Tabby tell them everything that has happened and it all takes place months after Luna was released from juvie and community service.
(One long explanation later.)
"And now he's our son and he's living his life with us, and he seems really happy" replied Sam. "Though he gets nervous at times when he faces other people, like people who try and take him away."
"At least he has some friends who are there to back him up" said Luna. "He may be shy to grown-ups he doesn't know, but he's okay with making kid friends. Kinda like Lincoln long ago, when he tries to make friends."
"Really does bring back a lot of memories about that guy" said Tabby.
"Yeah, sure miss all the times he made all the plans and tries to help us out of sticky situations and to the fact if it wasn't for Lincoln, I wouldn't have met the lady of my dreams over the barn" said Liam as he kisses Tabby's cheek, she then responds by kissing him on the lips.
Luna and Sam look to them. "Can you two not do that now, and on our couch, with us still here?" said Sam.
Liam and Tabby break the make out session. "Sorry about that ya'll" replied Liam as he blushes.
"We couldn't resist each other" replied Tabby as she straightens her top.
Luna and Sam then look to the four adults who were all processing what they told them, the whole story. They can tell they are confused, at a loss for words, befuddled, have more than a hundred questions and some of them look as if they are ready to faint on the spot, or have a heart attack.
"So, your former sister Lisa, she made Lincoln but he wasn't complete so you volunteered to have him inside you so he can process and start his life and then you gave birth to him?" said Zach.
Luna sighs and crosses her arms. "Well, when you say it. It kinda sounds rude and unruly to me."
"And, he doesn't remember a thing about his friends, his family or even what's going on?" asked Rusty.
"Not at the moment" replied Sam. "He does recognize some thing's and when he does there's this small moment when he does recall things and he reverts into the old Lincoln that we all knew."
"HE said our names when he was still an infant and he recognized Leni and Luan and said their names, he then recognized Pop-pop and he seems to be fond of hating and being afraid of Lynn Junior" replied Luna. "Lisa said that once he's eleven which is the age when he died. He'll recall everything that has happened to him, all the way to how he ….. How he died." That last part made Luna almost choke on her own words and made the room fall silent.
"This …. This is …. This is messed up!" said Ronnie Anne. "Lincoln is gone! He died years ago, he died in the hospital and he's buried at the Royal Woods cemetery! And you're okay with this?"
Luna and Sam nod. "Yes, yes we are."
"We know some of you guys think it's messed up, believe me I felt that way too when Lisa told me of what she made" replied Luna. "But then some part of me thought that maybe, just maybe there is a chance to let Lincoln have a second chance in life, to live out the life he lost. He may not be the grown man as he should be right now, but this is the best way Lisa and the approved words from the government could do, and there's no turning back now. He's here and he's happy to be alive and to be the son to Sam and me. And I should be honest, that having him in me was weird, but I felt this strange feeling that I was closer to him than I used to be when we were siblings, I grew back the instincts of being more than just his former legal guardian, I was his second mother figure from long ago and I am dang happy to take that role as he actual mom right now." She then looks to her son who is still reading with Jordan.
"Somewhere in there is Lincoln, the Lincoln we all have come to know and recognize, he's not gone, he never was. He's been following me all the way to the moment when I saw him in the test tube, I felt his presence and he made the choice to come back into the world of the living and he was dang right okay with being my son, and I love him so much, and no one is going to take my kid away from me. Not now, not ever!"
Sam, Liam and Tabby shed some tears hearing that, Luna then hugs Sam and she hugs her back.
The others were surprised at what Luna just said, then they all see Jordan and Lincoln come back. "Mom? Is everything okay?" He then goes over to his mom's and he hugs them. "Why are you crying?"
Luna smiles and hugs him back. "Nothing baby, I'm just so happy you're here now."
"Luna" they all look to Ronnie Anne. "Can I …. Can I meet him?"
Luna then let's go of Lincoln and lets him face the four grown-ups. Ronnie Anne recalls the superstitious beliefs from her Abuela and always thought it was just a bunch of malarchy, but she also recalls reincarnations. So what she's about to do might be crazy. "Lincoln, do you recognize me?"
Lincoln looks to Ronnie Anne and with a glimmer in his eyes he smiles. "Hi Ronalda" He then looks closely at her. "Wow! You … You grew up, should I say something about how tall you are?"
They all had their jaws dropped hearing that. Liam faints. Ronnie Anne looks towards the 4 year old white-haired boy. "L-Lincoln? Is that you?"
Lincoln smiles. "An 11 year old boy's mind within the body of a 4 year old kid, who else were you expecting?"
They couldn't believe it, it was Lincoln. "No way! You're in there?! Like a ghost is in the body is in there?!" asked Rusty.
Lincoln looks to them sternly. ""First off, I have been through the ghost plain and it is not a good place, secondly what you just said almost sounds kinda racist and also disturbing and yes I have learned a lot of stuff while I was gone."
Clyde then faints. "And there goes Clyde, same old Clyde" said Lincoln. Luna then lets him down onto the ground and he goes to them. "The only thing I have to say, is that it's good to see you guys again. But in truth I've been watching over you guys since you all left high school and went off to your spate lives, I stopped watching over all of you so I can return back with my mom's."
"Whoa! This is so unreal, sounds like a movie I saw" said Zach.
"Lincoln" the boy looks to Ronnie Anne who kneels down to his level. "Are you … Are you okay with this? Being this kid and being the given birth to by Luna?"
Lincoln felt a bit awkward by that last part. "Yes, I am okay with this. I know that fate has given me a shot at living my life again and so I took it. Even though it was a bit awkward for Luna to be the one who carried me and also give birth to me, I have seen my exit once and I saw it again. In a whole different perspective." Luna turns red and chuckles nervously.
Rusty is then confused. "So, you recall being born?"
Lincoln sighs. "Yup." This made Sam and Luna turn red and look away. He still remembers?!
Then Clyde wakes up and sees him. "Lincoln? Lincoln!" He then hugs him. "Lincoln, your back! Your here and you're so small!"
"Clyde, let me go" said Lincoln.
Clyde sees this and he puts Lincoln down. "Sorry bud, I just …. It's been so long! And you …. You were gone!"
Lincoln sighs. "Yeah I know. And I know you all have so many questions, but I don't think I have any time left, I will answer all you guys need to know when I become 11 and when the whole family has come back reunited." He then smiles as he looks to all of them. "Until then, see you all soon."
And with the glimmer in his eyes gone he looks around. He then slowly goes back to Luna and she picks him up. They now understand that he is in there, but his subconscious is not strong enough to overpower the young mind that wants to take control until he was the right age for him to take over.
They know he is in there, and he is looking at them. They all had to wait, wait for when it is time to see him once again, Lincoln Loud.
(Skip, an hour later.)
They all leave the house, and head outside. "Well, thanks for having us come here and thanks for telling us about him" said Ronnie Anne.
"Jordan was the one who came up with this plan" replied Sam. "We all thought it was the best thing to come up with so you guys can be part of this secret that most people know, and also find some closure to understand everything."
"Though to be honest, Liam and Tabby were the first ones to know since they never really left town" replied Jordan.
"Sorry fellas, I guess I was the first of the crew to know" said Liam.
Rusty chuckles and he fist bumps with Liam. "No worries man, we get it."
They all look to Luna and in her arms was her 4 year old son Lincoln. The boy then waves to them and they wave back.
Clyde sheds some tears as he sees this he knows that his best friend is still in there, still alive and still living.
They all head back to their rides and are ready to make their way back home. But they look back to the white haired boy, they see a slight glimmer appear and they see the signature smile of the boy as he waves goodbye to them.
This wasn't goodbye forever, this was a goodbye till next time.
They all start their engines and drive off, they each had questions and many of them wanna be answered. But they will get their chance when the time comes, when it comes to the point when they can see the kid they remember, the kid who lost his life, the kid who made their lives awesome and adventurous, the kid who gave them a reason to live on. Lincoln Loud, and they will be back to meet up with him and catch up on some lost time.
A/N: I would like to thank Tristen and some of you guys for the idea of having Lincoln meet up with his old pals, and on the next chapter is what you guys will vote on. Who wants me to skip some years to when Lincoln is now 11 and finally recalling his memories and talks to the rest of his family? If so then PM me, or as usual Leave a Review and tell me what you all think.
Thank you Dee for the info on the certain reviewer.
Also, I could use some help with the age they will all be when Lincoln is 11. Some help would be appreciated.
