Lana crept out of Lincoln's room before the first morning light, smiling ruefully at her lover. Lana would of liked nothing more than to cuddle Lincoln until morning but knew better, dressing quietly Lana tried to busy herself with an auto repair catalog.

Thoughts of white hair and an earnest smile kept invading her Thoughts, blushing Lana remembered the fun times she and Lincoln had, all it took was a little curiosity on Lana's part and some confidence.

Getting a boy was no longer important, Lincoln was more than good enough. Lana groaned wondering how Lincoln would take this new development, feelings were something that they had never discussed.

Lana sensed that Lincoln had been hurt before, which made the blonde confused. Why would someone hurt someone as wonderful as Lincoln...

Lincoln woke up to an empty bed, the smell of his and Lana's lovemaking lingering in the air. Disappointed Lincoln dressed quickly, it was hard not being able to be around Lana whenever he wanted but Lincoln had to work for a living.

Thinking about her made the day better whistling as he walked towards the door, Lincoln is caught of guard by lilly.

The youngest loud was usually in a perpetual good mood, Lilly sat dejected by the stairs in the front of the house.

Frowning Lincoln approached the girl, " what's wrong Lil"?

The girl jerked in surprise, her eyes were dark like she hadn't got any sleep last night.

" it's nothing", lilly stuttered avoiding Lincoln's eye contact.

Looking at his watch Lincoln decided being late was a small price to pay when compared to Lillys well being.

Sitting down next to the girl Lincoln noticed the lilly seemed uncomfortable with him, had he done something to upset her?

" you can tell me anything, lilly I won't get mad" Lincoln said softly putting a hand on lillys shoulder.

Looking indecisive Lilly stares deeply into Lincoln's soul, the nine year old looked far older than she had any right too. Her eyes broke Lincoln's heart, someone so young shouldn't be so burdened.

" do you love Lana more than everyone else"?

Lillys question made Lincoln's blood freeze as he searched deeply within himself for an answer, just a month ago Lincoln would of had no issue answering.

Now Lincoln was questioning himself, did he love Lana more? He certainly loved her In a different way from his other sisters but the look on Lillys face made it clear what his little sister needed to know, " I love you all the same".

" in the same way "? Asked Lilly innocently

Smiling Lincoln ruffled his little sisters hair, lilly seemed better. He's surprised when lilly kissed him on the lips in a soft butterfly touch, before the girl skipped off into the back yard.

That's new.Shaking his head Lincoln headed to work, the question lilly asked still echoing throughout his mind did he love Lana more?

Lilly smiled as she threw Charles tennis ball, it was warm and sunny but Lilly was happy for a different reason. Last night after curfew Lilly got up to use the bathroom, still sleepy Lilly was distracted by the sound of someone moaning.

It wasn't a pain moan though, lilly had come quite a ways from her humble beginnings. A shy and curious girl Lilly had followed the sound.

Crouching by the door lilly slowly nugged it open and saw, lana sitting in Lincoln's lap with no clothes on. Lilly wasn't so naive to not know what sex was, her chest hurt watching Lincoln and lana embracing.

Lilly had always had a crush on her older brother but knew that he'd never look at her, her talk with Lincoln today made everything click.

Lincoln probably had sex with all their other sisters too, lilly didn't mind sharing with her siblings either. So everything was good in the land of lilly, and unbeknownst to Lincoln a slip of wording had encouraged yet another sister to fall for him.
