"YOU'RE PREGNANT!?" Luna's parents shouted in unison. She buried her head in embarrassment her face turning bright red.

Mr. and Mrs. Loud were distraught and a gasped. Their mouths were wide open and they stared at her then at each other back and forth. Their minds appeared to be unable to to tell how they should feel or react. Luna couldn't help but feel ashamed. While she wasn't the most innocent girl she still prided herself with trying to prove to be a responsible teenage girl.

"Mom, dad let me explain…" She tried to say but her mom cut her off.

"How long has you been sexually active!?" She demanded both mad and in shock.

Luna lowered her head and held her shoulder with her hand and whimpered in defeat.

"Luna you know how serious this is! How could you have sex without protection knowing such risks!?" Her mom asked in disbelief.

"We did use protection mom!" Luna pleaded with teary eyes. "But the condom we used broke!"

"Who? With what!?" Mr. Loud practically cried.

Luna closed her eyes and squeaked under her breath. The cat was out of the bag now.

"Mikhail… He's the father…" She lowered her head unable to look at her parents in the face.

"Huuuuhhhh!" Both her parents gasped at the revelation.

Her dad seemed the be the angriest as he snorted and curled his hands into a fist. Luna had known her dad all her life and never in her sixteen years of age had she seen him so furious. His face turned red and steam was practically blowing from his ears.

"Why when I get my hands on that snake!" Mr. Loud got up and marched to the phone by his bedside.

"No popstar!" Luna ran with her arms outstretched. "We wasn't his fault I swear!"

If her dad called Mikhail's parents especially before Mikhail broke the news to his parents who know what would happen. The thought of his and her parents fighting and arguing made her sick. She might even be forbidden from seeing Mikhail again!

Fortunately her mother interfered and grabbed Lynn Sr.'s hand.

"I think Luna's right honey we shouldn't be overreacting in a time like this."

"Overreacting!" The Loud patriarch muttered. "My little rockstar's got a bun in the oven!"

He broke down and proceeded to cry his eyes out. Both Luna and her mom rolled her eyes. He could be such a drama queen even in serious times like this.

Mrs. Loud touched her daughter's shoulder and asked in a calming manner, "Luna, does Michael know about this?"

Luna nodded her head.

"I told him today on our little date." She responded with emotional exhaustion in her voice. "Lori knows too. I told her after I found out at the doctor's…"

Mrs. Loud covered her mouth in shock and gasped again.

"Honey why didn't you tell us immediately after the doctor's?"

"I… I… I don't know…" Luna whimpered unable to find an explanation. "I was scared and… and… I was afraid you were hate me."

She was lost for words and shrugged her shoulders. Emotionally she was drained and tired. Her mom and dad came up to her and held her close.

"I'm sorry mom and dad… I'm so sorry…." She pleaded with them as she nuzzled her parents like a lost little girl.

"Luna we don't hate you…" Her dad said sniffing a little. "Granted we are very disappointed and mad but not hateful."

"Thanks 'rents…" Luna sniffled as she spoke.

Unfortunately all of the commotion and the loudness of her folks caused her siblings to hear. Naturally being the spying bunch they are they ran through the door to their parent's master bedroom.

"Luna's what!" They all cried in unison minus Lori and Lily (Lily just gave her standard "Poo Poo" as her exclamation).

"You're pregnant!" Lincoln cried out as he looked at an embarrassed Luna squeezed between her still crying parents.

"Yeah and you like totally didn't tell us!" Leni cheerfully gleed over not understanding the seriousness of the situation.

Lisa on the other hand had her hand on her forehead.

"Of course how could I have missed it!" She said in her nasally nerdish accent. "The combination of vomiting followed by nutritional cravings for absurd combinations of sustenance and lack of menstruation, street name period, all point to the signs of the first trimester of pregnancy!"

Everyone stared at Lisa in awe at her scientific diagnosis. Yeah for a four year old Lisa had an IQ that surpassed most college academic scientists. Luna on the other hand was trying to hide her face from her siblings. Her siblings immediately rushed up to her and started talking and hounding her with questions. Lori on the other hand was apologizing and trying to comfort her. Now she understood how Lincoln felt when she and her sisters ganged up on him when Ronnie Anne bullied him.

"O M Gosh I know the perfect baby clothes for the new Loud!" Leni exclaimed as she hugged Luna much to Luna's discomfort.

"Thanks Leni but... "

"I'm gonna be an uncle…" Lincoln just stuttered both seemingly proud and surprised at the same time.

Luna tried to respond but everytime she opened her mouth another sibling cut her off. Luna's heart was pumping faster and she felt a mild discomfort in her stomach that was slowly building.

"Guys…." She whimpered but to no avail over her crying parents and intrusive siblings.

"I'll have a new test subject for my next generation of scientific experiments!" Lisa announced with excitement and glee.

"No Lisa!" Lori scolded the four year old genius. "You've already experimented with all of us! You don't need anymore!"

Lola was counting off the girly things she would do, "And then we'll have tea parties and pretend that we're fairy queens…"

"Bleh! Gross!" Lana interrupted. "The baby's gonna wanna mud wrestle and play with Hops and me! Not do some girly stuff!"

Being the usual Lola and Lana argument, it ended with them getting into a fight. Lynn was jumping up and down in place throwing a few playful punches at Luna's shoulder.

"I hope you're kid will be into sports and martial arts! Then I'll have a new sparring partner! Whacha!" She exclaimed as she flung a karate chop accidentally hitting Lincoln in the process.

"Ow! Lynn!" He cried out in anger as he rubbed the top of his head.

"Oh sorry Lincoln." Lynn apologized with an innocent grin.

"Guys please I'm not feeling good…" Luna pleaded for mercy towards her siblings.

Her upset stomach had turned into nausea and her head felt like it was spinning. To her she could barely understand what everyone was saying and her vision blurred. She was disoriented and drowning in her own sweat and family noise. She then noticed her legs and hands were shaking uncontrollably. Her throat tightened with pain as she made a failed attempt to cry for the sensory overload to stop. Suddenly she felt her stomach start kicking and her mouth started watering.

"Guys… I'm gonna be sick!" She cried out.

Immediately she covered her mouth and with the speed and strength of a football running back she busted out of the wall her family had surrounded her with. She ran upstairs just barely making it to the toilet as she heaved and emptied her stomach into the toilet yet again. She moaned and whimpered as the retching racked her torso making her ribs and back feel sore and worn out. The anxiety induced sickness had overtaken her senses she didn't even hear Lincoln follow her upstairs and watch in horror as the tough rock n roll sister he knew was collapsed into a mess on the toilet vomiting and crying.

"Luna…." Lincoln was the first to approach her. "We're sorry. We really are."

He walked up and gently rubbed Luna on her back not caring that she was retching into the toilet. While Luna was unable to face Lincoln he heard her give a small squeak which indicated she heard him. Eventually her body calmed down and she was able to get up. She wiped her mouth and washed her hands thoroughly after flushing. Lincoln helped his older sister up and out of the bathroom.

"Thanks bro." Luna gave a weak smile at Lincoln.

Yeah Luna and Lincoln seemed to have a special bond with each other that was only matched with his bond with Lucy. He held her hand and escorted her to her bedroom. She looked at her little brother and was suddenly hit with memories of her playing with baby Lincoln, singing him to sleep, and helping her mother bathe him. Maybe it was the maternal hormones kicking in but she couldn't help but smile at the sight of her brother.

"Luna is what you said true?" Lincoln asked with sadness. "That you were careful when you and Mikhail… did that?"

Luna looked down and raised an eyebrow, "You know about the birds and the bees Linky?"

Lincoln pouted with a bit of annoyance. "I'm eleven Luna not six. I know where babies come from and how they're made."

Luna nodded and crawled onto her top bunk bed while Lincoln stayed down and looked up at her.

"Luna…" He tried to say but his voice was met with a faint whimper. "Are you crying?"

Luna sniffed and whimpered to herself; damn hormones. But in all seriousness she felt like she failed her little brother.

"I'm sorry little bro… but you must hate me right now." She sighed sadly as she hid her head under her covers. She couldn't bear to see him or anyone for that manner. Revealing the secret was a mistake.

Lincoln's heart sank as he heard his older sister say such a thing.

"No Luna I don't hate you. I'm just, I'm just shocked." He said trying to talk some support to her.

Luna got up and climbed down off the bed before slumping into her chair and stared out the window. Outside while it was sunny Luna could see storm clouds on the horizon. Ironically it kinda matched the situation she was in.

"Lincoln…." She whimpered softly. "C'mere."

Lincoln nodded and slowly approached his sister cautiously. Before he could ask what she wanted she grabbed him and hugged him close to her. She wasn't crying but she was breathing heavily as if struggling to take in air.

"I'm sorry Lincoln. I'm so sorry!" She whispered quietly to him as she hugged him close.

"It's okay Luna." Lincoln said as he held his sister. Again, Luna and Lincoln always had a special bond.

Outside the room the rest of the Loud family was watching as Lincoln comforted his older sister. While they watched they kept their distance understanding that this was something that maybe only a close talk between her and Lincoln.

"Luna," Lincoln explained as he pat his sister's shoulders. "Remember we're always here to help you. We're a family and it's what we do."

The rest of the family came into the room and formed a group hug around Luna and Lincoln and for the first time, Luna wasn't embarrassed and instead felt a sense of warmth and comfort she hadn't felt in awhile. Even Lucy joined in despite her usual dislike of close comfort like this.

"Thanks guys," Luna spoke out. "I need this."

"Anytime Luna!" Lori said.

"Yeah it's what families do!" the six year old Lola and Lana said in unison.

Eventually they all got together and headed downstairs. They had a long talk about what they were going to do and how to plan for this but they all assured Luna that whatever decision she made, they'd be there for her. They arranged to schedule Luna for another doctor's appointment but the biggest issue was what to do with Mikhail. Luna convinced her folks that they should give Mikhail a day to tell his parents then the two families could get together and have a discussion. Everything was planned for and Luna hugged her parents in happiness. She was just glad they didn't hate her for what happened and her siblings were there to support her too.

A small thunderstorm hit their town that night as the Loud siblings were in the living room playing, texting, or watching the newest episode of The Dream Boat. Luna was keeping to herself just strumming random tunes on her acoustic guitar and thinking about what happened. It had been a stressful and confusing past two days but she ultimately finally felt at peace.

"Kids dinner's ready!" Lynn Sr. announced from the kitchen causing all the children to get up and walk to the dinner table.

Dinner had been much better since their dad decided to change up the menu and it was much more exciting. Tonight's menu item was chicken parmesan with collard greens and Luna's stomach was aching with hunger. Even the younger siblings were sitting at the table since they ended the Kiddie/Grown Up table last year so they could have better quality time with each other. Despite what had happened earlier this morning they all kept the subject of Luna down since they needed a break from all the drama. Her mother was telling a story about something hilarious that happened at the dental office involving two teens having their braces locked together when suddenly Luna felt her pocket vibrate followed up with the song "Raise Your Hands!" by Bon Jovi.

"Luna?" Her dad said as everyone at the table looked at her?

Luna blushed and picked up her phone.

"Oh sorry 'Rents!" She apologized as she went to turn it off but then she looked at the caller ID.

It was Silvio.

Curiosity got the better of her and she answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Luna! Thank god I was able to get ahold of you!" She heard Silvio practically gasp on the other line. "Is Michael with you?"

Luna raised an eyebrow and looked at her parents.

"Mom can I be excused for a bit? This call sounds important."

Mr. and Mrs. Loud looked at each and thought it over but nodded.

"Thanks!" Luna said as she got out of her sit and headed to the living room. "Sorry about that Silvio. What's up?"

"Luna is Mikhail with you?" Silvio practically shouted on the other end.

"Uh no he's not with 's going on Silvio?" She asked with a tone of worry.

She actually heard a couple of voices talking to Silvio on the other line and she recognized them as Mikhail's parents. She couldn't make it out but their muffles sounded like they were in a panic.

"Dammit will did you have any idea where he is?" Silvio asked back frustrated.

"Silvs cool it! What's going on brah!?" Luna angrily demanded to know. "Why are you so worried about Mikhail?"

"Because Luna Mikhail didn't come home tonight!" Silvio responded back.

Luna gasped and she almost dropped her phone at this.

"What do you mean he didn't come home? Did you try calling him?"

"No Luna! We tried calling him but it went straight to voice message. I tried calling everyone else and they haven't seen him either!" Silvio said with a panicky speed.

Luna put her free hand to her mouth and bit her fingers. Her heart sank at hearing this and she was frightened. What if Mikhail ran away?

No he couldn't of run away! He promised he be there with her he promised! Something had to have happened to him or….

"Are you sure Silvio?" She begged back in denial.

"Luna I've called everyone! My dad's been considering calling the cops!" Silvio called with worry. "Look if you see Michael or get some sort of clue of where he is call me back okay!"

"Y-yeah…." Luna could only say as she hung up.

Immediately she ran up to her room and grabbed a rain jacket and a flashlight. As she walked down her mom and dad intercepted her hearing the commotion.

"Luna where do you think you're going?" Lynn Sr. demanded.

"Sorry popstar but I have to go!" Luna just said as she tried to move past her parents.

But her dad grabbed her arm and held her. Luna didn't take too kindly to this and yelled and struggled to free herself.

"Dad let me go!" Luna yelled as she struggled and tugged only to be met with her mother and father.

"Luna what happened? Who called you!" Mrs. Loud demanded with worry on her.

Luna grunted and panted as she tried to free herself but her mom and dad held her tightly.

"Let me go! It's Mikhail he's gone missing!" she screamed as she finally pryed herself free and ran to the front door and opened it letting in some of the rain and wind.

"Wait Luna what do you mean Michael's missing?" Her parents pleaded with her.

Luna tightened her hand and started shaking.

"Silvio called me…. He said Mikky didn't show up home and they can't get in contact with him."

"Oh my god…" Mrs. Loud gasped putting her hands over her mouth. "Luna I'm sorry you must be worried sick now!"

"That's why I need to find him! He could be hurt or lost or worse…" She struggled to speak as her lips trembled.

"Honey please calm down." Mr. Loud explained and walked up to his daughter. "I'm sure it's not what you think."

"Not what I think? He promised he'd be there for me! He said he wouldn't leave and now he's…. He's…. He's run off!" Luna shouted impulsively her mind being flooded with hormones and endorphins.

Mr. Loud ran and held his daughter from behind again and she struggled.

"Dad let go of me I need to find him!" Luna screamed in anger but the tears in her eyes were telling a different tale.

"Honey I know you're worried for him but please you need to relax it's not good for your health!"

"I don't care! I need to find him!" Luna cried back as she grabbed onto the door frame trying to pull herself out of the house.

Mrs. Loud ran up and helped her husband hold down Luna.

"Honey if not for you at least for the baby please!"

Luna struggled and fought but eventually she was worn down and the stress caused her to break into a coughing fit. The Loud siblings watched from the dining room their faces filled with worry and panic. They got up and walked to the front entryway and watched as the Loud parents tried to calm down an emotional Luna.

"I have to! He's the father of my child mom! I have to find him!"

"Luna you can't go out in this weather especially in your condition!" Mrs. Loud said

Luna paid no attention though. Her only thoughts were on Mikhail and finding him. She didn't want him gone, she couldn't let him leave. She needed him.

"Mom I said let me go…!" She screamed before giving out a cough.

Her head felt dizzy and her heart was beating a mile a minute.

"Luna are you alright!?" Her parents asked and to their horror Luna's eyes rolled back and she fell back unconscious!

"Oh my god!" Lori cried as she and her siblings ran towards their fallen sister.

"Is she okay!" Lincoln cried out!

"Quickly someone call an ambulance!" Mrs. Loud screamed as she held onto the knocked out Luna.

Leni was the first to grab the phone.

"What number do you dial for nine one one?!" She asked in a panic causing everyone to facepalm.

"Forget about it let me do it!" Lori exclaimed and dialed emergency services.

As Lori was calling the paramedics the Loud's were trying to get a response from Luna. She was breathing and had a pulse but wasn't responding.

"Luna wake up!" Her family called. "Luna please!"

Mikhail was alone. Nobody with him on the wet soggy grass he was sitting on. While the raindrops from the storm hid it, he had been crying. He was soaked to his bones in rain water but he didn't care. He actually felt like he deserved the discomfort. It was all his fault after all is what he told himself.

Coward! Failure! The evil words whispered in his head like poltergeists. Of course they were in his own head. Mikhail was frozen there, not from the cold rain but from his own mind.

"What have I done…." He said to himself stammering. "I was stupid! I should've been careful!"

He got up and kicked the grass he stood on and kneeled over on a tree growling with anger.

"I was so stupid! Stupid!" He screamed to himself as he punched the tree not caring that the bark and tough trunk bruised and hurt his knuckles. It was all his fault.

He ruined not only his life but worse of all, the woman he loved. He couldn't leave her but… he couldn't face her. His body was frozen. He wanted to tell his parents. Really he did but he choked. Choked on his own words and couldn't face them. He was vulnerable and scared and could only imagine what Luna must've been going through. Life had thrown a curve ball at them and here he was unable to figure out how hit it.

"Luna please forgive me!" He whispered as the rain continued to pour on him.

All he could do was freeze up trapped in his own head with his confused emotions serving as the prison wardens.
