The following afternoon was the start of Lincoln's plan to help out Lily in regard to school. Though before anything, the first thing she needed to do was move into Lincoln's house, if only for a little while.

She packed all of her stuff into Vanzilla after school, with assistance from Lana, Lucy, Lynn Sr and Lincoln himself.

"Is that everything? Lincoln asked as Lily brought out one last bit of luggage.

"Just about," Lily said. "All my clothes, my books, pillows, blanket and some personal belongings, including those video games you left me."

"Remember dear, this isn't a vacation, Lincoln's just helping you get through school and any other issue you might be having," Rita said.

"I know mom, I have this under control," Lily said.

"I'll make sure she stays on track," Lincoln said.

"Thanks dear, we really appreciate this," Rita said.

"Hey Linc, how's Vanzilla running?" Lana asked.

"Holding up alright," Lincoln said. "Though the engine does tend to rumble on occasion."

"I'll swing by later, see if I can check on it, make sure you don't end up stranded somewhere," Lana said.

"That would come in handy," Lincoln said, then turned to his youngest sister. "You done packing Lily?"

"Yeah, just about," Lily said, placing the last piece of luggage. "There."

"Finally done," Lucy said. "Gotta say Lily, I'm surprised you're actually going to stay at Lincoln's house."

"Well my big brother cares about me and my future," Lily said. "I am quite fortunate to have him."

"When it comes to dependability, Lincoln usually is the go-to,:" Lucy said. "There's a reason I bunked with him for so many years."

"I kind of miss having you as a roommate Lucy," Lincoln said, walking over to the goth young woman. "You were one of the only sisters to not be so judgey of me and my hobbies, so I felt more comfortable around you."

"Feeling's mutual, and hey, I can always come by for an extended stay myself," Lucy said. "If you want."

"My door's always open for you and the sisters," Lincoln said.

"Aw, it's so sweet how close our kids are, even as adults," Rita said.

"Enough to make a grown man cry," Lynn Sr said, wiping a tear from his eye.

"Well, I should go get Lola and Lisa so they can say good-bye," Rita said.

"Pfft, if they cared, they would have dragged their useless asses outside," Lily said.

"Come on Lil, you know Lola and Lisa care, they're just not ones for physical labor," Lincoln said.

"Got that right, big bro," Lana said. "Me and Lucy usually end up with most of the heavy lifting, I mean I'm fine, I've been doing this since I was old enough to walk."

"Having Lynn as a roommate can be beneficial to one's physical abilities, as you yourself are aware, Lincoln," Lucy said.

"Tell me about it, at least I got some muscle out of it, Stella really appreciates that," Lincoln said.

"Oh I know she does," Lucy said. "I still remember when she lived here, how passionate the two of you tended to be."

Lincoln nervously blushed while Lily gave a sneaky side eye to her older brother, she herself knowing about all the sexual pleasures he's had with Stella.

It wasn't long before Lola and Lisa had come outside, the former texting on her phone and the latter still with a chemical she was working on.

"Girls, Lily is moving in with Lincoln for the foreseeable future," Rita said. "So this would be a good time to say goodbye."

"Lucky you Lily," Lola said, placing her phone away. "Being able to stay with Lincoln, I'd love to be able to do that, but I'm stuck here still."

"My house really isn't that great Lola," Lincoln said. "Nothing there that you don't have here."

"Well, I miss you living here, the day you moved out, things just felt off," Lola said. "I mean, I thought it took me a while to get used to Lori not being around, then you leave and the dynamic just shifts."

"I've noticed that myself," Lisa said. "For better or worse, your interactions with us usually lead to some form of memorable moment."

"Well I do feel a bit flattered, but this isn't about me living here or if my house is fun, this is about you saying 'bye' to Lily," Lincoln said.

"Yes of course," Lisa said, stepping over to her only younger sister and longtime roommate. "Lily, not having you around will take some adjusting, but I do commend you for this choice. You are choosing to pursue your education and take the subject seriously. You have my respect for that, and I do hope you do well in this little endeavor of yours."

"Uh, sure, thanks Lisa," Lily said. It shouldn't surprise her, Lisa hadn't changed much in all these years, aside from being more socially aware and not as reluctant to show emotion, in addition to having more respect for her family, even if Lily didn't always feel that from Lisa, likely due to her current academic standing.

"Yeah, have fun with Linky," Lola said. "Just try not to have too much fun."

"Huh? What do you mean 'too much fun'?" Lily asked.

"Well you are getting a bit boy crazy, and Linky is arguably your most favorite boy," Lola teased, earning a grossed out reaction from Lily.

"Ew, like what the fuck Lola!?" Lily said in disgust.

"Lily! Please don't use words like that!" Rita scolded. "And Lola, that joke was not appropriate."

"Oh come on, like no one's joked about Lincoln and his ten sisters before," Lola said. "Even his friends have made comments like that."

"Which I've asked them not too," Lincoln said. For the most part, only Rusty, Stella and Sid have made jokes like that. Rusty just to be funny, Stella to tease a threesome and Sid due to her perverted nature.

"Well anyway, I hope you enjoy yourself Lily," Lola said.

"Yeah, I'll miss you for sure," Lana said, rubbing her little sister's hair, the younger of the two looking a bit flattered.

"And if you do miss us, we're only a phone call away," Lucy said.

"Actually, you don't even live that far away, we can always come see you or you can come see us," Lana said.

"I appreciate the offer, I'm fine as long as I have my big brother," Lily said.

"Alright Lily, time to get in," Lincoln said.

"Bye everyone," Lily said, entering the passenger seat.

"Remember what Lucy said, we're only a phone call away," Rita said.

"I will, bye everyone," Lily said.

"We'll call you tonight," Lincoln said, getting in. "See you later."

Lincoln drove off with his sisters and parents waving 'bye'. The all began to go in bit by bit, save for the twins.

Lola stood in jealousy, wishing she had the chance that Lily did. "Wonder if Lincoln would consider a roommate?"

"If he did, it sure as hell wouldn't be you," Lana teased, to Lola's annoyance.

"And why wouldn't he pick me?" Lola asked, glaring at her twin.

"Because you're a pain in the ass, even at your current age," Lana said. "Is it any wonder you never got a boyfriend?"

"Me? What about you?" Lola asked.

"Uh, I have Adelaide, so I'm covered," Lana said.

"Are you two actually an item, or do you just go to Great Lakes to screw around in bed?" Lola asked. "Seems like you two get it on just for fun."

"It works doesn't it?" Lana said. "I mean, we've been making out with each other for like the last ten years, if it were that casual, don't you think we would have broken it off?"

"Are you even happy with her? I always got the feeling she had a crush on you and you just rolled with it," Lola said.

"You're also the one who insists she only kisses girls because Sid does," Lana said. "Not how sexuality works by the way."

"Well you never actually admitted to being gay," Lola said.

"Because I don't need a damn label, I'm just being myself," Lana said.

"Is it possible you just rebounded hard after Skippy didn't work out?" Lola asked.

"At least Skippy called me back, you and that Winston kid went absolutely nowhere," Lana said. "I'm just fine with Adelaide, nothing will change that."

"I hope for your sake, it's all true," Lola said.

"You know, why don't you try kissing a girl, you might like it," Lana said.

"I'll pass," Lola said. "Besides, I'm pretty sure Sebastian likes me."

"You mean Jackie's little brother?" Lana asked. "Since when?"

"I've seen how he looks at me, and he's still single," Lola said. "Love may bloom between us sooner or later."

"You're so full of crap sometimes," Lana said. "Anyway I'm going inside to call Adelaide, my girlfriend."

"Sure, have fun calling your casual sex partner," Lola taunted, Lana rolling her eyes and leaving. Once alone, Lola had time to think again. "I hope romance doesn't take too long for me, though with my looks I have time, and if my older sisters are any indication, those looks will last for a while."

Meanwhile as Lincoln was driving, Lily was laying back and glancing out the window, the girl slightly nervous about the upcoming changes, but trusted her brother enough to help her through whatever she may have need.

"Lily, I'm really happy to have you living with me, but I promised mom this would be for your benefit," Lincoln said.

"I know," Lily said.

"It's only for a little bit too, with any luck, you can be back home in a couple of weeks, at least until you have the groove of things," Lincoln said.

"Sure, you got it big brother," Lily said, giving a thumbs up.

"Also, please mind your language in front of my kids," Lincoln said, much to Lily's annoyance.

"Hey, I'm not that much of a potty mouth, Lola just got on my nerves," Lily said.

"I get that she did, that was awkward for me too," Lincoln said. "Just make sure you compose yourself better, I know you're more mature than that."

"Whatever you say, big brother," Lily said, taking this as a win of sorts.

It wasn't long before Lincoln got home, noticing a car parked in front of his house, "Who could this be?" Upon parking and getting out, he immediately recognized the car. "Oh, this car belongs to Ronnie Anne and Sid, but wait, are they here?"

"Looks like you have a visitor," Lily said, then heard some noise in the house, almost like a beat. "They're probably inside."

"Yeah, most likely," Lincoln said, making his way to the door and opening it up. Inside he could hear loud music blazing, turning to see that Sid, Luis, Lyra and Roberta were partying in his living room.

"This song's awesome! One of Smooch's best hits!" Sid cheered.

"Daddy has great taste in music!" Lyra said.

"Got that right, he's got all the best hits," Sid said.

While everyone was busy dancing and not paying attention, Lincoln walked over to the radio and turned it off, taking everyone by surprise.

"Much as I like this song, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Lincoln shouted.

"Oh hey Lincoln, hope you don't mind but me and Ronnie decided to crash here for a day," Sid said.

"I'm sorry, but did you suddenly decide to sleep over at my house? Without asking?" Lincoln asked.

"We asked Lyra, and she was more than happy to let us stay," Sid said.

Lincoln groaned in annoyance, "Well what about Stella? Does she know?"

"Oh we think she'd be cool with it," Sid said. "Stella loves me, Ronnie and little Tony."

"Much as I like the three of you as well, you really cannot just decide to sleepover, and no, asking Lyra does not count," Lincoln said.

"Excuse me? What is my opinion of no worth to this family?" Lyra asked. "Of all the nerve."

"Lyra, you know what I mean," Lincoln said. "When you want your friends to sleepover, you always ask me or your mother, Sid counts too, she needs to ask me or Stella."

"Don't you like me Lincoln?" Sid asked, putting on a sad face. "I thought we were pals. Have you forsaken me?"

"You are so full of s..." Lincoln remembered there were kids here. "Sand."

"Huh?" Sid asked.

Moments later, Ronnie Anne had come downstairs, "Finally decided to put a halt to the radio?" She then took note of the house owner, "Oh hey Lincoln, say is it alright if Sid and I stay here? We were gonna stay with Bobby but..."

"Wait, speaking of Bobby," Lincoln interrupted. "Lyra, weren't you going to your Uncle Bobby's?"

"He was busy, and Aunt Lori was in one of her moods," Lyra said. "So I took Luis and Bobbie and came here instead."

"Yeah, like was saying, we were gonna stay with Bobby because Tony wanted to visit his cousins, but their house looked like hell," Ronnie Anne said.

"Lori did say she's been really overwhelmed," Lincoln said.

"She is, mom's just really stressed out Uncle Lincoln," Roberta said.

"By the way, can Roberta sleepover as well?" Lyra asked.

Despite his minor annoyance, Lincoln could never turn away his niece, "Of course, she's always welcome here."

"I love you Uncle Lincoln, you're literally my favorite of mom's siblings," Roberta said.

"I resent that!" Lily said, getting everyone's attention.

"Oh that's right, Aunt Lily's staying over for a bit," Lyra said. "Hey, did you bring the video games?"

"You bet I did, ready to get pwned in the new Muscle Fish?" Lily asked.

"Ahem, remember why you're here," Lincoln said.

"Oh you don't expect me to study 24/7, do you?" Lily asked. "Give me time to play with my awesome niece."

"That's why you're my favorite, Aunt Lily," Lyra said.

"Ha! In your face, Bobbie Junior!" Lily taunted.

"Don't call me 'Junior'!" an annoyed Roberta shouted.

"Speaking of Junior, how's Lynn doing?" Sid asked.

"She's fine, living happily with Liam," Lincoln said.

"How does it feel knowing that one of your friends is regularly getting it on with your sister?" Sid asked.

"Getting what on?" Luis asked.

Before Sid could answer, Lincoln angrily grabbed her by the shirt, glaring into her eyes, "Don't make me hurt you."

"Oh, I love it when you're rough with me," Sid said, grinning a perverted smile.

Lincoln immediately let go, "What's the matter with you!?"

"You know...the usual," Sid teased.

Ronnie Anne sighed in annoyance, "Alright Sid, that's enough of your...weirdness."

"Aw, but that's why you love me, Ron-Ron," Sid said.

Ronnie Anne immediately blushed, "I told you not to call me that in public!"

"But we're with family, your little nieces and nephews," Sid said.

"Just...put a lid on it before I clonk you," Ronnie Anne said.

"By the way, where's Tony?" Lincoln asked.

"He went to see if Lila was upstairs, obviously she wasn't since a three year old wouldn't be here by herself, so he stayed to use the bathroom, he'll be down in second," Ronnie Anne said.

"Lila's with Clyde, he usually watches over her if can't be home," Lincoln said. "If not him, then I ask Jordan to."

"How is Jordan? She still single?" Sid asked.

"I don't know, I think she was dating one of our old classmates, but she's having trouble settling down," Lincoln said. "I tried setting her up with Zach but they had trouble connecting."

"Well, tell then to keep trying," Ronnie Anne said.

"Maybe she likes girls," Sid suggested.

"She said she doesn't," Lincoln said. "Though she also said she's 'not opposed to fun'."

"What does that mean?" Ronnie Anne asked.

Lincoln suddenly felt really embarrassed, he learned strange things about Jordan the first time she slept over at his house, amazed what she can do or say after one drink, despite Lincoln's drinks not having alcohol since neither he nor Stella care for it.

"Don't worry about it," Lincoln said. "Luckily we should have at least one extra room, but that was going to Lily."

"I can bunk with you," Lily said.

"Roberta can stay with me," Lyra said.

"Alright, though I'd rather wait for Stella to get home before anything is finalized," Lincoln said.

"Fine with me," Ronnie Anne said.

"Yay! Sleepover!" Sid said, hugging Ronnie Anne, lifting her into the air. "This is gonna be fun!"

"I'll go unpack my stuff," Lily said, making her way upstairs.

"I'll grab our luggage from the car," Sid said.

"Sid, hold up on that, remember what Lincoln said," Ronnie Anne said.

"Oh she'll say yes," Sid insisted.

"How can you be so sure?" Lincoln asked.

"Because if she says 'no', I'll just start crying until she changes her mind," Sid said, earning a pitiful glare from her wife and friend.

"How do you function in society?" Lincoln asked.

"She doesn't, that's why it's hard for me to take her anywhere," Ronnie Anne said.

"You know you love that about me, Ron-Ron," Sid said.

"Ok, I warned you once again, now I'm gonna kick your ass!" Ronnie Anne said, walking over and pulling up her sleeve.

"Uh, Ronnie, this is not a healthy married relation-AH!" Sid made a dash out the door.

"Get back here! Your Ron-Ron just wants to get physical with you, don't you love that stuff!?" Ronnie Anne shouted, chasing Sid.

"Jokes aside, that's a bit concerning," Lincoln said.

"It's fine, she never actually hurts her, most she'll do is noogie her head," Roberta said. "Sometimes she even spanks her, though for some reason, Auntie Sid likes that."

"You are way too young to even know that," Lincoln said.

"Uncle Lincoln, I've heard Aunt Sid mention things, especially when she's drunk," Roberta said. "My mind is not that innocent."

"I am so sorry to hear that, angel," Lincoln said, rubbing her head.

"It's fine, Aunt Ronnie usually explains things to me, tastefully as she can," Roberta said. "And Aunt Sid does feel bad when she acts that way sometimes. She doesn't mean to be weird, she just is."

"Well what matters is that she loves you, and I know Sid does, she just needs to stop goofing off so much," Lincoln said.

"Lincoln!" Sid ran back and jumped in his arms. "Save me my dazzling superhero! Save me from the she-beast!"

"Are you f..." Ronnie Anne remembered Roberta was there. "Fudging kidding me!?"

"Aunt Ronnie, I've heard mom curse, you're good," Roberta said.

"Well, I'd rather not add to that," Ronnie Anne said.

"Sid, get off," Lincoln said, letting her down. "If you two want to stay, that's fine, but don't behave like this, especially you Sid."

"You got it, I'll do my best to be on my best behavior," Sid said, the chuckled a bit. "Ha, I said 'best' twice, that probably sounded so weird."

Later that night, Stella had finally come home, the girl tired from another long day, "Just a few more months and I can take that maternity leave." She opened the door and immediately heard a blowhorn, startling the poor woman.

"Stella's home!" Sid called, much to Stella's annoyance.

Lincoln immediately matched over to Sid, holding his hand out, "Give it, now."

"Fine, Mr. Party Pooper," Sid said, handing the horn over. "I got more anyway."

"Sid..." Lincoln groaned.

"Well, apart from that irritating welcome, it is nice to see you Sid," Stella said. "Lincoln already alerted me to you and Ronnie Anne wanting to sleepover for the night."

"Lincoln said it's alright with him," Sid said.

"I also said to wait for Stella," Lincoln said, then turned to Stella. "Are you cool with it?"

"Of course, Sid and Ronnie Anne are our friends," Stella said.

"Aw, a heart of gold," Sid said, hugging Stella. "I could always depend on you."

"Yeah, you know we care about you," Stella said, returning the hug.

Lincoln looked to make sure Sid didn't slide her hands down, fortunately she's gotten better about that but over the years it's always seemed like Sid did her best to cup a feel from Stella, and occasionally Leni. Even recently Sid was tempted to cup a feel from Lola, Lincoln grateful he prevented that disaster.

"So Ronnie Anne and Sid are taking the guest room, Tony is bunking with Luis, Roberta is bunking with Lyra and Lily is bunking with us," Lincoln said.

"Sounds like you have everything planned out," Stella said.

"Man with the plan," Sid said.

"Right...anyway Stella, I made some dinner for you, it should be in the microwave," Lincoln said.

"He made Shepard's Pie," Sid said. "Lincoln is a damn good cook, you picked a great guy."

"Well I love him for more than that, but, yeah, I did," Stella said.

"Everyone else ate, so you can have the kitchen to yourself, some nice peace and quiet," Lincoln said. Suddenly a loud crash was heard upstairs.

"It wasn't me!" Luis said.

"Yes it was!" Lyra said.

"Quiet, booger brain!" Luis said.

"I will slap you!" Lyra warned.

"No fighting!" Lincoln called.

"I got this Linc!" Ronnie Anne said, marching to the room. "Luis, to your room. Lyra, don't rat out your brother like that. Roberta, go get something to clean this."

"What broke?" Lincoln asked.

"Picture frame!" Ronnie Anne said. "Picture's fine though!"

"That's good!" Lincoln said, then turned to Stella. "Guess it's not as peaceful as it should have been."

"Eh, it's fine, what's a Loud Family without chaos?" Stella said.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Lila called.

"Daddy's coming sweetie!" Lincoln said, making his way upstairs as Roberta came down to get what she needed to get.

"Well, Lincoln's got this, go enjoy your dinner," Sid said.

"Thanks," Stella said, heading into the kitchen.

Around this point, Lily was passing by, listening to her music as she played a handheld game. Sid waved in front of her face, "Hey Lils."

Lily unplugged her earphones, Sid could briefly make out a Boys will Be Boys song, "Hey Sid, what's up?"

"So, why are you staying here exactly?" Sid asked.

"Trouble at school, trouble with my social life, staying here is supposed to help it, not sure how yet but in time I will figure that out," Lily said.

"Oof, sorry to hear about all that, school sucks doesn't it?" Sid said, remembering what it was like. "So glad I got that out the way. I didn't even bother with college"

"Lucky, my mom wants me to go, even though Lincoln and Luna are doing fine without it," Lily said.

"Well, she just cares," Sid said. "Not to say my mom didn't care, she actually cares a lot. She was fine with me not going because, not to brag but, I'm actually too smart for any college in town and it felt pointless to go."

"Right, I forget sometimes that you're a genius like my sister," Lily said. "How are you parents doing?"

"They're fine, they visit often, mostly to check on me or to see the grandchild they are so proud of," Sid said.

"How did you and Ronnie Anne have that kid again?" Lily asked. "Did Lincoln or Bobby help you?"

"We had very unique ways," Sid said.

"Unique how? Like, what's the science, because I know enough about biology that two women can't produce a baby together," Lily said.

"That's the old biology, in this day and age of science fiction and fantasy come to life, given the impressive AI me, Stella and your sister Lisa invented, plus the amazing magic we've seen over the years, even the fact that you have a pet dragon back in Scotland, anything is possible, even two women having a baby," Sid said.

"Wow...you're so weird sometimes, but I like that about you," Lily said.

"Anyway, in all seriousness, I hope you do well here," Sid said. "You're a smart girl Lily, Adelaide always talked about how you seemed so advanced for your age back when you were little," Sid said. "Don't give up on that brain of yours, you have what it takes to make something special out of yourself."

"Thanks, I appreciate that," Lily said. "You know, you're a smart girl, but why does it seem like you do stupid things sometimes?"

"I said I'm smart, never said anything about being wise," Sid said. "I'm just eccentric, and I love living in the moment. Adelaide can be similar as well."

"Yeah, Lana's mentioned that," Lily said. "By the way, do your parents find it strange that both their daughters are into girls?"

"Not really, they never really thought about it," Sid said. "Honestly I feel like Adelaide is just copying me sometimes, but she does seem to love Lana a lot, so I'm hoping that's genuine happiness for them. I don't want either of them getting hurt."

"When did you realize you liked girls?" Lily asked.

"The first time I kissed Ronnie Anne," Sid said. "I mean, I like boys too obviously, not just your brother, but I had a childhood crush on Yun Kwan from Twelve is Midnight. Then I kissed Ronnie Anne out of a dare, and I liked it. It's not just Ronnie Anne either, I checked and I find a lot of girls attractive, including Carlota and a few of your sisters."

"Even Lynn?" Lily asked.

Sid sighed in annoyance, "Unfortunately, yes. She's really well developed back there. Liam is one lucky guy, he probably does things with that."

"How do I look?" Lily teased.

"You?" Sid glanced up and down at hre. "Well, I can't see anything, mainly since I remember when you were a baby. But objectively speaking, you look cute, gonna get a boyfriend?"

"I wish," Lily said.

"Keep an eye out, you'll find someone," Sid said.

"I appreciate that," Lily said, making her leave.

Sid let her mind wander, thinking about the cute Loud girls, how well developed some were, including Leni, Luan, Luna, Lucy, Lynn and recently Lola. "Dammit, now I'm in the mood for sex."

She immediately went upstairs to find Ronnie Anne.

Meanwhile Lincoln had finish tending to Lila, the girl just needing to use the bathroom. Suddenly he got a phone call from one of his sisters. "Hey Lynn, what's up?"

"Yo, Lincoln, guess who's pregnant?" Lynn said.

"Huh? Pregnant?" Lincoln asked.

"Give up?" Lynn asked. "I am!"

Lincoln's eyes widened, "I'm sorry, but WHAT!?"

"Liam knocked me up, I'm gonna be a mom in less than a year," Lynn said.

"Wow, that's great...do any of our other sisters know?" Lincoln asked.

"Not yet," Lynn said, then did what sounded like a grunt. "Thought you should be the first to know, you're my favorite brother after all."

"Well, congrats, I'm happy for you," Lincoln said, hearing more grunts. "Um, question, what about your sports and stuff? You like being active."

"Don't worry, I have a back-up plan," Lynn said. "I know plenty of exercises befitting a pregnant girl, I'll be fine."

"That's great," Lincoln said. "By the way, are you working out now? You sound like you're panting a bit."

"Oh sorry, actually I'm having sex with Liam right now," Lynn said. "He's doing me real good."

"Oh is that...Excuse me!?" Lincoln said.

"Sorry Lincoln, she made me keep quiet," he heard Liam said.

"Just keep ramming into me, I want to feel that hard piece of log you have there," Lynn said.

"What's the matter with you Lynn!? Don't call me when...that's happening," Lincoln said.

"Oh come off it, I've heard you having sex with Stella, it's no big deal," Lynn said. "Anyway, I'll let you go, I have three hours worth of sex to endure."

"Three hours!?" Lincoln asked.

"Yeah, it's a slow day," Lynn said. "See ya."

Lincoln could not believe his sister, actually scratch that, he could believe it because she is nutty enough to do that. "For the love of...I need to lie down a second."

The boy went into his room where on his bed, he found a nude Ronnie Anne on all fours while a nude Sid was right behind her, rubbing her thighs against her wife's backside while digging the fingers on one hand in Ronnie Anne's sacred walls and using the other hand to massage her breasts.

"Oh, hey Lincoln, hope you don't mind us using your bed, I got really in the mood," Sid said.

Ronnie Anne looked ashamed of herself, "Sorry Lincoln, I gave in to her temptation."

All that could be heard through the neighborhood was an angry Lincoln shouting in annoyance.

Later that night, everyone had fallen asleep, Sid and Ronnie Anne being booted to their guest room after the former had been chewed out mercilessly by Lincoln and the latter still ashamed to look him in the eye for letting herself get talked into that situation.

There were very little regrets however.

Lyra bunked with Roberta, Tony with Luis, and Lily in the same room as Lincoln and Stella, the girl in her sleeping bag on the floor while Lincoln slept in bed with his wife.

Then came a knock on the door, Lincoln pulling himself out of bed, "Who could that be at this hour?"

"Lincoln?" Stella asked.

"Go back to sleep, I'll answer it," Lincoln said, carefully making his way out of bed and downstairs, opening the door to find a surprise, "Sam? Luan?"

"Hey Lincoln," Luan greeted, flashing a friendly non-braces smile. "I know it's late and really not a good time but..."

"Any chance Luan and I can bunk here?" Sam asked. "Just for tonight?"

"Huh?" Lincoln was surprised. "I mean, I guess it's alright, Luan is my sister and you are my sister in law Sam, but...any reason? Also, where are Luna and Benny."

"That's kind of why we're here," Luan said.

"Luna and I had a pretty bad argument, so we agreed to take some time apart from each other," Sam said. "Luan came with me out of Benny's suggestion, he's going to stay home and talk things over with Luna."

"Sorry to hear about that, I have Sid, Ronnie Anne, Tony Roberta and Lily staying here but, you can sleep in the living room if you want," Lincoln said.

"Wow, sounds like quite the sleepover," Luan joked. "Seriously, thanks."

"No problem, and Sam, is there anything I can do to help?" Lincoln asked. "What even happened?"

"We'll talk more tomorrow, but don't worry, Luna and I will figure things out," Sam reassured.

"Come on Sam," Luan said as Lincoln went back upstairs, feeling a bit concerned. "Man, what's going on now? Why does it feel like things are spiraling?"

He made his way back into his room, Stella waking up again, "Who was that?"

"Sam and Luan, I know it's sudden but they needed to spend the night, things are not well at home," Lincoln said.

"Oh no...I hope everything's alright," Stella said. "Well, if they need us, then that's fine. They couldn't come unless it was important."

"Yeah, of course, they're family," Lincoln said, crawling back in bed. "Thanks for being understanding."

"Of course, you know I love them just the same as you," Stella said.

Lincoln laid back in bed, thinking everything over. Seems like he had a lot of mending to do now, between Lily's situation, Lori's situation, and now this issue with Luna and Sam. Coupled with Lynn revealing her pregnancy, it's been quite an eventful time, and something tells him, it will continue into the next day.
