I don't own The Loud House.

We're nearing the end now and I honestly can't wait. For those of you who enjoyed this story, I'm currently working on a sequel to this and I'm hoping to have it done in advance just like I did this one. And I say hoping because currently I'm in the middle of moving houses. I'm not sure when I'll have time to regularly work on my stories but for the time being I will ask that you have patience with me. I'm not quitting anytime soon and if I must, I will type up my stories on my phone and post them that way. At least until I get settled.

I'll also be posting the next chapter of What She Didn't Know tonight so look forward to that if you enjoy that story.

Terms of A Dress

Chapter 8

Lincoln was sitting in the living room with Stella's older sister, Vivian, who was staring at him with a dazzling smile. He wasn't going to lie, he felt a little nervous with how she was eyeing him. He kind of felt like a canary who had just gotten cornered by a cat.

Vivian was only three years older than him, she went to school with Luna and Sam. And while he was dating Stella, the older girl had treated him nicely. They would make small talk and she would often ask him to share funny stories about Luna and Sam. But it wasn't until he defended Stella that Vivian had truly grown to like him. At least that's what it felt like to him since he had run into her a few times around town. The first time happened when she was coming out of a StarBucks and Lincoln happened to be walking by. She invited him in and bought him a coffee, telling him that she wanted to catch up real quick. And since at the time he didn't want to be home, he gladly accepted her offer.

After that, she would happily greet him and often ask how he was doing and if he was seeing anyone new. Lincoln suspected that she wanted to get him and Stella back together but he had felt that it was too soon for that. The last time that he had seen her, Vivian had given him her number so that they could chat over text. And boy did she like to chat.

"So, Lincoln, who's the new girl?" Vivian asked, her tone inquiring yet playful. She was sitting next to him on the couch, her arm draped over the top as she faced him. She was dressed in leisurely clothes, a blue spaghetti strap tank top and red flannel pajama pants. But she still looked rather pretty.

"S-She's a friend of mine who's visiting from the city." Lincoln said, barely able to push down the sense of nervousness that he felt.

"A friend huh?" Vivian leaned forward just a bit. "She looks awfully pretty to just be a friend..."

Licnoln couldn't help but gulp. He wasn't sure what was going on but when she leaned forward, he became acutely aware that Vivian wasn't wearing a bra. From his vantage point, he could see her round perky breasts but not all the way to see the nipples. Something told him that she was doing this on purpose.

"W-Well, she...uh...might b-be going o-out with me..." Lincoln struggled to say as he tried desperately to look up at her eyes but failed miserably. "P-Probably..."

"Probably, eh?" Vivian leaned forward even more, showing him everything that she had before she placed her right hand underneath his chin and raised it so that he could see her knowing grin. "Naughty boy~".

Lincoln knew that he was caught but before he could do or say anything to defend himself or at least be allowed to commit senpuku, Vivian pushed him against the armrest and she practically laid down on top of him.

"V-Viv!" He cried out.

"I thought I made it very clear, Lincy..." She was leaning closer to his face as she spoke, her mouth drawing closer to his. "That...I...was...next...in...line..."

She was a mere inch away from his mouth, he could feel her hot breath on his face, his heart was pounding so hard and fast that he could barely hear anything else. And then before she could kiss him, she pulled back as she looked up.

"Can I help you?" She asked, somewhat annoyed at having been interrupted.

Lincoln glanced upwards and saw both Nikki and Stella standing a few feet away from the couch, Stella looking angry at her sister while Nikki looked exasperated.

"Viv, what the heck were you doing?" Stella asked her older sister.

"What? I was just having a little fun with him." Viv said as she got off of him.

Nikki just sighed. "Seriously, dude, is there any girl in this town that doesn't want to fuck you?"

Nikki sighed tiredly as she trudged upstairs in the Loud home. After an exhausting day like hers, all she wanted to do was lay down for a quick nap. After leaving Stella's house, Nikki and Lincoln had gone back to his house. Along the way, she questioned him about all of his female friends and acquaintances and she came to the conclusion that Lincoln was fucking stupid when it came to girls. Which was ironic considering that he lived with ten sisters.

Near as she could tell, there wasn't a single girl that he knew that didn't want to fuck him. And she put that theory to the test when they ran into another blonde girl who was leaving with Lori. The girl was named Carol something or other and she looked like Miss prim and proper, the kind that would actually wear dresses and shit. And Nikki casually mentioned to Carol that she and Lincoln were thinking about having an open relationship since they lived in different places. That had gotten the girl's interest and even Lori noticed it. But when she mentioned that Becky had already accepted to be Lincoln's girlfriend, which was a lie, Carol's face flashed briefly with jealousy before she put on a forced smile and congratulated them with the enthusiasm of a man receiving a rectal exam.

But poor Lincoln was still naively ignorant and Nikki just let him be. Afterall, she wasn't about to start sharing the boy she loved with just anyone. And after Lori managed to drag Carol away, Nikki wondered if perhaps she should've cleared things up with Carol about Becky? Nah.

And as she was about to reach the top of the stairs, Nikki was surprised to see Lisa waiting for her.

"May I have a moment of your time?" Lisa asked.

"Um...sure..." Nikki wasn't sure what the little genius wanted but Lincoln had told her that Lisa was mostly cool. Mostly.

"This way, please."

Nikki followed the young genius towards her room and when she entered, she saw that there was a small little bottle of pills on the desk. Lisa noticed that she had noticed and she cleared her throat to get her attention.

"I brought you here, Nikki, because it was brought to my attention that you've recently become sexually active with my elder brother." Lisa said, sounding very clinical with her tone of voice.

Nikki on the other hand, nearly choked on her own spit as she was caught off guard. "W-What?"

"Fear not for I have not brought you here to disintegrate you into mere molecules." Lisa said, letting that hang in the air for a moment. When Nikki didn't say or do anything, she added. "That was a joke."

"Hehe..." Nikki laughed weakly. Lincoln had told her that Lisa had the ability to open portals and time travel. If the young genius said that she could disintegrate you, best believe that she could.

"The reason I have brought you here is because Lori informed me that she warned you about the Loud gene." Lisa continued. She reached for the bottle and she handed it to Nikki. "I have already developed a suitable birth control that will prevent any unwanted pregnancies should you wish to have coitus with my brother."

"Have what now?" Nikki asked, confused by the word that Lisa used.

With a roll of her eyes, Lisa clarified. "Should you wish to have sex, Nikki."

"Whoa, who said anything about having sex?" Nikki asked, trying to sound like the thought never crossed her mind. But Lisa simply gave her a deappaned expression. "Okay, so maybe I do want to fuck him."

"Of course you do. The Loud gene is highly potent after all." Lisa said. "It's a miracle that you didn't consummate your lust last night."

"What do you mean?" Nikki asked, confused.

"Surely you've noticed it by now?" Lisa asked. When Nikki shook her head, she continued. "Lincoln naturally produces a pheromone that attracts all nearby females towards him. The 'Loud' gene that we speak of refers to the potency of that genetic trait that we all share but that only Lincoln inherited."

"I knew it!" Nikki said, sounding both smug and vindicated. "I knew all those girls wanted to fuck him!"

"Indeed. Ever since he started going through puberty, Lincoln has garnered the attention of his female associates. At first they simply took notice of him when he entered the room. Then they would attempt to get his attention, like Ronnie Anne. And now girls are drawn to him as they reach sexual maturity because they see him, instinctually, as a promising mate."

"So wait, if this affects all the girls around him, then how come his sisters haven't tried to fuck him yet?" Nikki asked, genuinely curious.

Lisa was quiet for a moment, unbeknownst to the blonde girl that Lisa was reliving a memory that happened in another timeline. "I developed a way to suppress his pheromones." She finally said.

"Is there anything that you can't do, Lisa?" Nikki asked.

"Not that I'm aware." Lisa said as she pushed her glasses up. "Now, as Lincoln gets older, his lust will also grow in strength. Those pills that I've given you should not only act as a birth control but they will also give you a temporary boost in stamina." She then looked Nikki dead in the eye. "You're going to need it."

"Why'd you say it like that, Lisa?" Nikki asked her, suddenly scared.

"It's not important right now." Lisa dismissed her with a wave of her hand. "Now, you should only take one pill each morning and they will work for 24hrs before you need to take another one. I would also recommend that you not drink any energy drinks for at least two weeks. That will give you body time to adjust to the added boost in your stamina."

"This isn't gonna like make me grow a third arm or a dick will it?" Nikki asked, looking at the small bottle.

Lisa turned back to look at her. "Do you want to grow a penis?" She asked her.

"Can you make me grow a dick?" Nikki asked.
"Do you want one?" Lisa asked again. This time she walked over to her desk and opened the bottom drawer but she didn't reach inside, still looking at Nikki.

"If I said yes, will it be permanent?" Nikki asked.

"Do you want it to be permanent or temporary?" Lisa asked, still not reaching within the drawer.

Nikki couldn't read the young genius at all. Was she being serious or was she just messing with her? Shaking her head, Nikki decided to just forget it. "Nevermind that!" Nikki said, her cheeks noticeably red. It's not like she wanted to have a penis but she was kind of curious as to what it would feel like having one. "I-Is there anything else that I need to know about these pills?"

Lisa closed the drawer and stood up straight. "I have informed you of all of the possible side effects of taking them. I've tested them and they have a 99.99% rate of success at preventing pregnancies."

"That good huh?" Nikki wasn't sure if that were true, she wasn't a scientist, but she trusted in her judgment. After all, Lincoln trusted her.

And as she looked at the bottle of pills, Nikki felt like her plan would actually work now.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lincoln sighed as he laid back down on his bed. He was still in the guest house and he had just taken a shower. He was tired from the day's events but he was happy. As weird as the week had been, he was glad that Ronnie Anne had tricked Nikki into that bet. Because if she hadn't then Nikki wouldn't have come into his life and he wouldn't feel as happy as he did now. And what was best was that Nikki agreed to go out on a date with him tomorrow.

Stella had been strangely supportive of the whole thing, much to his surprise. He asked her before they left if she was okay with him being with Nikki? And she smiled at him before giving him a kiss on the cheek. She told him that a part of her would always love him but that he had to let his heart roam free and that if it was meant to be then it would be. She did promise to see him soon so that was something that he was looking forward to. Maybe now they could resume being best friends again.

As he prepared himself for bed, he heard a knock on his door. Curious, he got up to answer it and he was a little surprised to see Sam of all people standing at his door.

"Hey Ace, how's it going?" She asked him cheerfully.

"Good..." He said slowly. The last time a blonde came to his guest room he ended up nearly having sex. And as attractive as Sam was (He could admit that she was hot and that Luna had good taste in girlfriends) Lincoln wasn't really willing to cross that line with her. "Is there something that I can do for you?"

Sam smiled at him before she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and leaned in. "No, but there's something that I can do for you...Ace~" Sam leaned in and purred his nickname in his ear, making the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Suddenly he felt warm all over as a blush crept up his neck towards his face.

"S-Sam!" He wanted to back up but he couldn't move. Was this really happening? Was Sam really going to try and seduce him? He wasn't sure what was going on but he was sure that he wasn't ready for that yet! He had to mentally prepare himself!

"Here you go, Ace, a present from your future wife..." Sam said with a wink.

Sam had pulled away from him and she presented him with a little black box. Confused, he looked at the gold lettering on the package and he instantly knew what Sam had given him. His face instantly turned several shades darker as he looked up at Sam, his mouth hanging open.

"No need to thank, Ace, it will be your pleasure I'm sure." Sam said with a laugh. "Nikki's too, I imagine."

"B-But these are c-c-con-condoms!" Lincoln stuttered.

"Yea, and considering that Nikki has been giving you the 'fuck me' eyes, I'd say that you need them." Sam told him.

"But why are you giving me these? Shouldn't you be telling me that we're much too young for this and that we should wait?" Lincoln asked her.

"Ace, I'm only going to tell you this because I love you but fuck that shit." Sam said bluntly, surprising Lincoln. He had only heard Nikki curse like that and it was a bit of a shock to hear her speak like that. "You're plenty more mature than Luna and I were the first time that we fooled around. And we only started dating last year." She placed her hand on his chin and raised it so that he could look at her. "So if you feel like you're ready for this then go for it. Because I can tell you now, as one girl who also wants to fuck you," She said with a wink. "That Nikki definitely wants to fuck you and hard at that. So use my gift and be safe and if you really want to thank me then put my name down on the list if you two ever want to have a threesome."

Lincoln honestly couldn't believe what he was hearing. And it seemed like Sam picked up on it because she sighed before adding. "Ace, I trust your judgment and I know that you'll make the right choice. No matter what you choose to do, I'll always have your back."

It was clear to Sam that this was new for Lincoln, having someone in his corner. And while she wanted to be angry, she knew that Lincoln wouldn't want that. So she sighed, kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair. "I love you, Ace, and you can always count on me."

Lincoln nodded before he wrapped his arms around Sam's waist and pulled her in for a tight hug. "Thank you..." He said, his voice breaking a little bit. "I love you too."

They stayed like that for a while, simply enjoying the tender moment. At least until Sam decided to break it.

"But just so we're clear, I am serious about that threesome, Ace."

Lincoln just laughed, he knew just how much Sam loved to tease him.

The next morning on Thursday, Lincoln woke up feeling happier than he had in a long time. With a spring in his step, he got dressed and went over to the kitchen in order to help his dad make breakfast for everyone. By the time that everyone had gotten ready for the day, most of the food had been ready. But before he could greet his sisters and Nikki, his mom pulled him aside to speak with him in private.

She took him to her room so that they wouldn't be interrupted. And as they stood awkwardly in the bedroom, Rita realized that this would be the first time that she had actually spoken to Lincoln on her own without her husband.

"S-So, Lincoln, sweetie..." She began awkwardly. "Um...I've been meaning to talk to you..."

"Is this about Nikki?" Lincoln asked, his tone passive and his eyes staring up at her unflinching. It seemed as though he had closed himself off to her and that honestly hurt her more than if he had been yelling.

"Y-Yes, dear, it is." Rita swallowed and attempted to focus on what she wanted to say. "I just wanted to ask, are you two together?"

Lincoln nodded. "We just got together yesterday." He said in the same passive tone. And then he added. "Is that alright, mother?"

Rita flinched as if struck. She could tell that Lincoln had still not forgiven her for her role in what happened with Stella. And honestly, she couldn't blame him. What kind of mother could she claim to be after what she had done? But right now wasn't the time for self pity.

"Of course it's alright, honey. You know that I just want you to be happy." Rita said.

Lincoln simply looked up at her and stared without saying a word. His eyes telling her exactly what he thought about her words.

"L-Lincoln, please, believe me when I say that all I want is for you to be happy. You're my only son...my baby boy." Rita pleaded with him.

"If you say so..." Lincoln said dismissively.

Sighing, Rita knew that she wasn't going to get through to him. "I'm sorry, Lincoln, I truly am..."

"Was there something that you wanted to tell me, Mother? My food is getting cold..." Lincoln said, impatient to get leave.

"I just wanted to make sure that you and Nikki were being safe..." Rita said, earning a surprised look from Lincoln. "I-If you need protection...please, don't hesitate to ask...I promise that I won't get mad. Your father and I will buy you whatever you need."

Lincoln's features seemed to smoothen a little bit. "Thanks but I already got some from Sam."

"I-I see." Rita nodded. "So long as you're being safe..."

Rita reached for Lincoln in an attempt to give him a hug but Lincoln simply turned around and left the room, leaving Rita with her arms outstretched. For a moment she just stood there watching as he left the room. And once the door closed shut, she fell onto the bed and began to sob.

"You nervous about today?" Sam asked Nikki as she watched the younger blonde get dressed by Lola and Leni. Sam had slept over last night in Luna's room.

"A little." Nikki admitted. "But I think it will go as planned. So long as you don't fuck anything up."

"Me? Fuck up your date with Ace, my future husband?" Sam asked, pretending to be offended. "I would never do such a thing!"

"Uh huh." Nikki said with a deadpan look. "I do have to ask, why do you call Linc your future husband when you're dating Luna?"

"Because he is going to be my future husband." Sam said as if it were obvious.

"But you're dating Luna." Nikki reminded her.

"And?" Sam asked, clearly not understanding what Nikki was trying to say.

"And Linc is probably going to end up marrying me if we last that long." Nikki said, blushing a bit at the thought of marriage.

"Well what else am I supposed to call Ace? He's going to be the future father of my babies so I can't just call him my sperm donor." Sam said.

"Wait, hold the fuck up. Since when is he your baby daddy?" Nikki said, turning around to face the blonde earning annoyed looks from Lola and Leni as they tried to fix her hair.

"You like, totes need to hold still, Nikki." Leni protested.

"Yea, beauty doesn't just happen you know!" Lola said.

"Since always, girl. Ace pinkie promised me on my 13th birthday that he would give me at least 12 white and blond haired babies when he got older." Sam said. "And I intend to make good on that promise no matter how many tries it takes. That's why I call him my future husband."

Nikki could not believe what she was hearing. "Fuck that! You honestly expect Lincoln to uphold a stupid promise like that!?"

"Of course! Ace is a man of his word and that's why I love him." Sam said. "He might be with you but that doesn't absolve him of his obligations to me and our future children. We pinkie promised."

"Sam, I like you, I really do. But if you don't start telling that you're joking, I'm about to start throwing hands at you." Nikki said, glaring at the older blonde.

"Luna!" Lola shouted once she got tired of Nikki moving. "Sam's at it again!"

"Sam! Don't make me come in there!" Luna's voice rang from the other room.

Sam visibly flinched as she heard Luna yell at her. "Oh, that's low, Lola, even for you." Sam said with a glare.

"And I'm tired of hearing the same thing from you over and over again. You want my brother's babies, big deal, get in line and shut up!" Lola said. "Can't you see that I'm working here?"

Something that Lola said caught Nikki's attention. "What do you mean 'get in line'?"

Lola just sighed exasperated. "Honey, how much time you got?"

And it was then that Nikki learned that some things were better left not knowing about.

End of chapter.
