As Lincoln and Carol jumped through the streets, odd-looking camera's seemed to be following their every move. They weren't normal security cameras mind you but small drones following and recording data mostly off of Lincoln.

The small black orbs followed them as they made their way back to the Royal Woods Police Station and made themselves unknown due to no sounds being made from them as they floated into the air. Once Lincoln and Carol landed on the steps to the entrance, they all flew away back to their base until they were ready to be used once again. Before the two police officers walked inside, the sat down on the steps and looked into the night sky, next to no stars being spotted due to the light pollution of the town.

Lincoln chuckled at the sight. A few years ago, you would have been able to see a sky full of bright stars due to Royal Woods being less urban compared to other cities or towns close by. But over the years, the mayor decided to modernize this once normal town to what you would think a downtown area would look like with large buildings and highways once the population was starting to get crowded after a while. However, there was another reason as to why Royal Woods got bigger.

"Protection," Lincoln muttered to himself.

"What? What do you mean by that?" Carol asked. "Like, I apologize if I interrupted something but what do you mean by protection?"

"Sorry. I'm just... thinking to myself. But I realized as to why the town has...changed so quickly. Only a few years ago, Luna and I were probably the only vampires around town and for a while, things were ok. Sure, it was sad to see most of our family have to move out of the house because it was dangerous at the time but we managed to at least pull through with Lisa and Lucy staying with us. Lori stayed as she volunteered to look after us but she left when Luna became an adult."

"Wait hold on. Your family had to leave? That's awful!" Carol replied, getting a sigh from Lincoln.

"I know but things might have ended badly if they had all stayed. It took a while for me and Luna to be able to control our hunger for blood with Lisa being able to create substitutes at best although we had to get our hands a bit dirty every once and a while. But we only sent after thugs and criminals at night so I guess no harm was done."

"Heh. You've been crime fighting even before you joined the force! That's kind of funny don't you think? But uh... what's this about protection?"

"Right. Right. So, not long after we were turned into vampires, we found out that other vampire communities existed here. They just lived in exiled in the sewers or abandoned subway stations. It's also how I learned that Haiku was part of a secret group of Vampire Sympathisers trying to make lives for them easier. Over the next few months, Luna and I were trying to make vampires being able to co-exist with regular humans and it worked. Once the city had passed the "Inhuman Rights Law" allowing vampires to roam freely and live like normal humans!"

"Well, kind of. With the whole burning in sunlight, some measures were taken for safety. Like with most apartments now having the windows being able to be fully covered up so no sunlight could be let in. Having a lot of jobs having to be changed with most vampires taking night shifts. They work at night, the humans work in the day."

"That's simplifying it. But explaining it all would take hours. Now then, where was I?"

"Protection? Which uh... is something that I hope won't make this conversation awkward," Carol said with a nervous blush.

"I-I didn't mean it like that! D-Don't worry!" Lincoln replied hastily. "It's just the other reason why Royal Woods was turned into such a large city is not just because of population, but also protection."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well, think about it. Imagine if Royal Woods stayed the same. Some small towns with not much protection from almost anything. If the exiled vampires truly wanted to, they could have destroyed Royal Woods without a problem. But now that it expanded into what's now one of the largest cities in the country, and upgrading its defenses with the police force having more skilled fighters and vampires on its side, we now have a chance to fight back if needed!"

"Huh. I guess you're right. Although I guess now that the threat of a vampire uprising is gone, now we're dealing with the threat of a secret group of humans trying to do inhumane experiments on the general public for... some reason," replied Carol.

"For science. That's why they keep trying to annoy the police force every single night," said another voice from up the steps. Lincoln and Carol looked behind them and saw Police Chief Lori Loud standing at the open door with a tired face.

Lori Loud was a tall woman with long blonde hair still in the same style she had since she was 17 and a very large buxom figure, being more bottom-heavy. She currently had on a blue police uniform on but instead if having normal pants on, she had a blue skirt that went to her mid-thighs while having black leggings underneath with black shoes. On her arms were blue and yellow snake tattoos that went down her arms. Over the years, Lori had joined the police force wanting to protect Royal Woods after an unfortunate incident regarding a shootout occurring during a date with Bobby which sadly took his life. She joined once she had graduated college and quickly rose in the ranks and became the feared and fierce leader of the Royal Woods Police Force.

"Ah! There's my favorite gal!" Carol said standing up and giving Lori a strong hug. Lori blushed and hugged her girlfriend back. "Sorry, we took so long. Lincoln and I just started talking."

"Well, it's best to talk inside before the sun rises up. I don't want you both literally burning to ashes right in from of me," Lori replied. Carol nodded and waved goodbye to Lincoln, given Lori a quick peck on the cheek before walking inside. Lincoln smiled and got up, ready to head inside to give a report but was stopped by Lori all of a sudden.

"Huh? Something wrong?"

"No. Not at all. You can head back home if you want. A report isn't needed if it's about the same mutant running around for the fifth time this week," Lori told Lincoln. "Oh and Luna needs you to pick up Lucy from the cemetery."

"Alright then. I'll see you around!" Lincoln said, giving a salute to Lori before leaping away to find Lucy. Lori smiled, giving a salute back and heading into the police station.

- 15 Minutes Later -

Lincoln had now arrived at the Royal Woods Cemetary. He went in the foggy gravesite to look for his younger goth sister to take her home. Now Lincoln didn't exactly like going into the cemetery at all. Even as a vampire, he still had fears of dark and spooky places all those years later. The only upside he could think of was that you could talk to some really cool spirits every once in a while. If vampires exist, why not ghosts? Magic technically does exist but it's just been overshadowed by the wonders of human science making it next to obsolete in these times. Which was something that bummed the vampire out. Maybe it was something tied to his childhood fascination with things out of the ordinary starting when he and his best friend Clyde were in a huge ghost hunting phase involving a now-canceled TV show "AARGH!" featuring a dude who would go to abandoned mansions and capture ghosts.

"Lucy shouldn't be too hard to spot. Actually, that's incorrect. She's really tricky to spot in the graveyard at night due to her only wearing black and whit-GAH!" Lincoln said before he tripped over Lucy who was sitting next to a grave. "Found her..."

"Hello, Lincoln. I take it you were sent to take me home?" Lucy asked, now standing up and dusting herself off. "Luckily I had just finished a conversation with a friend of mine so your timing is pretty good."

Lucy Loud was a small 15-year-old girl with long, messy black hair and a fat figure. She had on the same clothes she did just a few months ago, just being modified to fit her larger frame and had on black and white striped leggings with black shoes on. Over the past few months ever since Luna's rabid attack, life at the Vampire Cafe quickly got more stressful for Haiku and Lucy as it had caused a sudden surge of customers, mostly coming from obnoxious news stations trying to milk out any info and attention they could get about the rabid vampire. Sudden crowds like these are not good for the health of anything, causing Lucy more stress and mental strain. Trying to look for ways to relieve any of this stress, she found her eating habits worsening, making her body fatten up quite a lot.

Thankfully, things have gotten better since then with Lucy finding herself better ways to be calm and happy. From hanging out with friends and family and even her boyfriend Rocky to exploring places, drawing, or writing stories and poems. Although her love for food and sweets did not dwindle, she did not mind her looks anymore.

"Glad I dropped in," Lincoln said, tossing Lucy a few chocolates. "Ready to go home?"

"Yes I am," replied Lucy. Lincoln picked her up and began to head back to the house. By the time Lincoln had run across town back into Royal Woods, it was close to sunrise, cutting close even for him.

"Finally home. Phew, what a night!" Lincoln said with relief in his voice. "What about you Lucy? Maybe you should head on to bed."

"I appreciate your thoughtfulness, Lincoln but I have no need to sleep right now. Rocky and I have been practicing staying up late to get used to how vampires live so we won't feel anything odd when we are finally turned into vampires."

"Lucy, you know that we're waiting to turn you into a vampire until you turn 18. Turning into a vampire at your age isn't great. In fact, it's worse when you turn into a vampire before you're an adult no matter what due to how hard it is to control yourself. I should know since I had to deal with urges and hunger for almost seven whole years."

"Sigh. I know that. But it's best to at least prepare."

Lincoln shrugged and opened the door to the house, letting Lucy walk in first and following in after. Once inside, Lincoln heard that the TV was blasting loud dubstep music and in front of the TV were two brown-haired woman doing jumping jacks, one having a muscular figure, the other having a slightly pudgy yet super bottom-heavy figure.

The woman to Lincoln's left was Luna Loud, who seemed to be completely exhausted from the workout she was doing while the woman to her right, Lynn Loud Jr. did not even seem tired from the jumping jacks. An ironic display as vampires are known to have much better stamina and endurance than normal humans. In this case, it might prove the Lynn isn't a normal human, or Luna isn't as strong as a normal vampire.

"Probably both," Lincoln replied to himself. "Anyways, hey you two! Having fun?"

"You know damn well this isn't fun for me," replied Luna, huffing, and puffing. "C'mon Lynn! When can we stop?"

"Hmm... We can stop now. I'm starting to get a bit sleepy anyways," Lynn said, stretching her arms out with a yawn.

Lynn Loud was a short woman with a muscular figure and very poofy hair. She has on a red tank top with blue jeans with a belt and some black fingerless gloves. On her right arm was a black tattoo with "#1" on it. Over the past few years, Lynn went on to complete her dream of becoming a world-famous athlete, which she did! She perfected her skills at almost every sport imaginable with bodybuilding being a thing she was currently trying out.

Lynn's reason for living at the old house was because she wanted to help Luna get back into shape after her rampage across town. She is making good progress with Luna, getting her to lose most of the weight but found that most of it also went down to her lower half.

"Alright. Good night, Lynn!" Lincoln said before turning to Luna who was now taking a breather on the couch. "So. How have you been, Lu?"

"I'm just trudging through the pain," Luna replied. "Lynn is just ruthless on me!"

Luna Loud was a tall woman with short messy brown hair, a pudgy middle, and a super large bottom heavy figure. She had on a tight red shirt with the sleeves ripped off and had on crescent moons along with the shirt showing off some of her stomach.

Over the past few months, Luna was subjected to house arrest after she became rabid as an attempt to help cure her addiction to blood. After many attempts, Luna finally got over it and was released from house arrest and started to try and improve herself with exercise, although Sam seems to be countering it by spending more time with Luna and bringing her more food to spoil Luna. However, Luna doesn't mind this as she knows Sam and her are on good terms again.

"Well it's Lynn. She climbed Mount Everest three times in one day just because she could," Lincoln said. "But it's nice that you're trying!"

"Yeah. But uh... Haiku is upstairs in your room. She... needs to tell you something."

"Alright then. I'll see you later, Luna!" Lincoln said before walking upstairs to his room. He knocked on his door a fee times before walked in.

"Haiku! Oh I'm so happy to see you!" exclaimed Lincoln as he gave his girlfriend a hug. "You needed me?"

Haiku was silent. She currently had on some black pajamas that hugged her body well with her stomach seemingly being a bit bigger than usual.

"Yes... Lincoln. How long have we known eachother?" Haiku asked. "How long have we... been together?"

"Um... About five years by now. Is something wrong?

"It depends on your point of view. Over the course of this relationship, we've done everything together. You even proposed to me and five months ago, we both took it to the final step and went on to do the ritual that truly meant our souls were bonded with our love," Haiku said, causing both of them to blush.

"Yeah uh... I could tell you loved me so much that the uh... ritual occurred more than ten times over the next few days!"

"W-Well I... Yes that is true. It was the best week in my life I'll admit. But Lincoln, I feel like that caused the next and truly final part in the relationship to happen. Something to grow and blossom."

"Did... are you turning into a vampire?" Lincoln asked.

"N-No... Lincoln I'm..." Haiku said, failing to utter the last word.

"You're what? Tell me, please!"

"I-I'm pregnant! With triplets..." Haiku yelled out to Lincoln, causing him to freeze in place. "L-Lincoln? Are you ok?"

Lincoln stood up thinking and silently freaking out in his mind. After a few moments, he finally said something.

"I'm gonna... I'm gonna be... a father," he said before fainting.

"Dang it, Lincoln..."
