This chapter will have lots of conflicting problems and it could end badly. So be wary and be careful folks, there will be tears and mental breakdowns, why? It's at Bangers n' Mosh and will involve Luna's gig. So I think we know why it's going to be a sad and bad ending for Lincoln and Luna. Enjoy reading this.
Family of two.
Chapter 15: Gigs, fears and shattered hearts.
(The Loud House.)
Great Grandma Harriet is continuing reading her book in the living room, but then she hears someone ringing the doorbell. "Looks like Luna's friends and band mates are here."
When Harriet opens the door Chunk is startled by her once again. "Blimey! Oh, it's just you. Sorry about that, I have to try and get used to you being around."
Harriet sighs. "There are some people who actually are okay with my very sudden presence, and I know you're still haunted from that conjuring movie you saw."
Chunk chuckles nervously. "Sorry about that, also yesterday I watched the movie that is based off of the conjuring, it was called the Nun."
Harriet remains silent. "I know that doesn't sound racist to me and I you really should stop watching movies like that. Anyway, I know you're here to help Luna and her gear, its waiting right here." Harriet steps aside and shows Chunk all of Luna's amps and other instruments by the bottom of the stairs. "Lincoln and Luna placed them all down here earlier in case you would come early."
"Well that is mighty nice of them, well I should send these into me Van." Chunk then picks up one of the amps and is about to head out, but then he looks to Harriet. "Where is Lincoln and Lunes anyway?"
Harriet looks to the top of the stairs. "Talking to each other, there are some thing's thy both need to discuss before they go to the gig later, I just hope Lincoln doesn't lose himself when it happens." This also concerns Chunk, he knows what the ghost is talking about.
(Lincoln and Luna's shared room.)
Lincoln is sitting on the lower bunk and Luna is sitting next to him and rubbing his back. "Mom, I'm gonna be fine, you don't have to worry about me and I don't want to be here with someone, yet."
Luna looks to him concerned. "Sweetie, I know you wanna come along to one of my gigs. But I don't want you to be back at the place where …. Where." Lincoln looks to his mom. Luna could see the worry in her son's eyes. "Where is all started, to where it all went down fast and bad. I want you to be safe and okay, so please Linc, stay home."
Lincoln shakes his head in response. "No mom. I wanna be there to watch you perform, this is your first gig since those many months ago and I wanna support you. You're comeback into the world of music, the music that made you the most talented mom I have ever had."
Luna us touched by the words from Lincoln. She didn't want him to come and she didn't want him to feel upset and lonely in the house, even though Great Grandma Harriet was there to keep him company.
Luna knows she can't find anyway to convince her son. "Okay Lincoln, okay. But, if something bad does happen, then I have to take you back home. Even during mid-performance, I'm your mom now and you are my responsibility. Do you understand me son?"
Lincoln nods. "I understand mom, but I will try and stay calm and cool. I really wanna see you rock out like you always do, like old times mom." Lincoln then hugs his mother.
Luna smiles and hugs him back. 'I can't let him fall apart when we get there, I have to find a place for him to sit by and watch me that won't remind him of what happened to the family all those months ago. There is no way in hell I am letting my baby breakdown into a freaking mess!' They then break the hug. "Okay kiddo, you ready to get going?"
Lincoln gets up and grabs his wallet, phone and puts on his watch and orange hoodie. "Ready when you are ready to Lock, Rock n' Roll mom!"
Luna chuckles. "Now that's the musical spirit my wayward son." Luna grabs her sling bag and checks if she has anything. They then leave the room and go down the stairs. 'Let's see Cellphone, wallet, emergency numbers, some rubbing alcohol, lyric notebook, extra guitar picks, first aid kit and taser. Okay, looks like I got everything.' Lincoln is already out the house and waiting by the car.
Luna then is at the bottom of the stairs and Harriet is in front of her. "Luna."
"Oh jeez!" Luna the calms down from the sudden appearance of the spirit. "Oh, it's just you Great Grandma Harriet."
"What did Lincoln say? Is he really going with you?" Luna sighs. That was all Harriet needed to know. "You're expression is the answer I needed" She then turns her hand physical and places it on Luna's shoulder. "You do know something bad will happen should he be there, and you will have to try to keep an eye on him all while performing."
"I know, I know" replied Luna as she feels concerned. "Lincoln ….. He really wants to see me perform for the bands comeback to musical entertainment. He refuses to stay behind here and have someone keep him company, he may be able to handle hanging out with friends, but as of now he still seems troubled and I can't blame him. The family is torn apart from the whole Bad Luck Fiasco, we had the talk with Leni and Lucy, he got tormented from that stupid kid Tyler and he could've lost himself when he was attacked by Aunt Ruth's stupid cats!" Luna then sheds a lone tear. "Things are getting hard, and I have to try and step up and keep him safe."
Harriet understands this. "Luna, whatever happens just know that you and Lincoln will be there for each other. I know you two are going through hard times and you two know there will be hard times. Just be strong for your son that seems to keep him confident that you two will get through it, do you regret being given the mother role that you asked for?"
Luna looks to Harriet. "No."
"Then be the mother Lincoln needs, and not wants. Don't be like Rita and be yourself, be the mom you know you can be. I believe in you and so does Lincoln, don't doubt yourself, or things will fall apart."
Luna smiles and hugs Harriet. "Thanks Great Grandma Harriet, i needed that talk."
Harriet hugs her back. "And that is what I am here for, to keep this family form tearing itself apart from the inside and making sure you both are living it with smiles and through each other's bonds." They then break the hug. "Now go, you're son wants to see his mom be her best at what she does."
Luna nods and she races out the door, Harriet looks out the window and sees Luna go to Lincoln and hug him. Then they both go into the Ferrari and drive off, with Chunk in his van following behind.
Harriet smiles seeing this, but then frowns. "Something bad is going to happen, I know it" She also realizes. "And they forgot to bring me with them, dang it!" She does recall that when Lincoln and Luna came back from their talk with Lucy. That Lucy said she has no clue where the Great Grandma Harriet's book is, she forgot where she last left it. This makes Harriet's shot into allowing herself to leave the house all too hard, she has to try and find her book and fast.
(Bangers n' Mosh.)
The purple Ferrari along with Chunk's van arrive to the place and they all get out and see three people waiting for them. Sam, Sully and Mazzy.
"Luna, you made it!" Sam goes over and hugs Luna. But then she sees Lincoln. "Oh, and you brought Lincoln with you." Even Sully and Mazzy were concerned about this.
Lincoln then asks. "Is this a problem?"
Sam could see the concern in him. "No, no. It's cool, it's just I didn't expect you to be here with Luna, I thought you'd stay home or something."
Lincoln knows what they're all feeling. "Look, I get that you're all worried about me being back to the place where … Where ….. Where it all began." Lincoln does his best to be himself and not break down. "But I assure you guys that I'll be fine, there's nothing else to worry about. I wanna be here to watch my mom with her comeback gig, I wanna see my mom as the musical talented person I've known and loved."
Luna is touched by her son's words, Sam, Sully and Mazzy are also struck with sorrow and joy from his kind words for his mom. Even Chunk is shedding a few tears. "That was awfully sweet of you to say to your mum guv."
"And I would never take those words back" replied Lincoln. With that being said, they know they can't talk to Lincoln about this and that they have to go through with it, but all of them were going to keep an eye on them.
Sully, Mazzy, Sam and Luna go over and help Chunk get the amps and drums into the back of the restaurant. Lincoln was given the task to carry the box of cables and other smaller gear equipment, less heavy for him.
They soon get to the back door and enter the back of the stage. Lincoln feels this cold rush as he enters, but he shrugs it off. Luna however noticed this from her son and she walks by his side so he won't see the spot where it all went crashing down.
They then make it to the stage and setup the amps. Lincoln and Chunk are both connecting the wires and Chunk is impressed at how good Lincoln was with rewiring. "Well I'll be, Lincoln you seem like a natural with the wiring. How the heck did you learn all of this?"
Lincoln chuckles. "Back then, mom would teach me all about the wires the amps and guitars need and where to connect them. I saw this as an opportunity to use when something like this might happen and here I am now and still got is."
Chunk chuckles. "You are you're mother's son alright." They both continue to plug in the right wires onto the amps and the rest of the gear.
On another part of the stage Sam sees this and she pulls Luna to the back of the curtain with Sully and Mazzy. "Are you sure about bringing him here Lunes? What if he falls apart?"
"This is the same place where all of this first happened. He could end up as a mess if he sees this" replied Mazzy.
"And we don't wanna see the little dude ball up and start getting some mental brain trauma" said Sully.
Luna sighs. "Guys calm down. Look, as much as I agree with you dudes, I can't turn down what my son wants to. I can put my foot down when it comes to things that could get serious, but he wants to be here and he wants to watch his mom perform and I ain't gonna let him get all lonely at home that it could make him spiral out even more." Luna then looks to her band mates. "Linc and I already settled down some things about what could happen while he's here, and I need to know if you guys are on board."
Sam, Sully and Mazzy look to each other with worry, then they look to Sam and nod. "We're on board with whatever you got planned Lunes, tell us what it is." replied Sam. Sully and Mazzy also nod in agreement.
"We got you're back dude."
"We'll go with whatever you got toned to the gig chief."
Luna smiled, but she knows they won't like this. "Chunk is gonna try and keep Linc occupied while the gig goes on, but if something bad does happen and my son ends up into a crying mess ….. Then I'll have to stop and go to comfort him and possibly go home." Luna looks to her band mates. "Okay guys?"
Sam, Sully and Mazzy are stunned to hear that. But they smiled and understood. "We get it Lunes, we know how much your kid means to you" replied Mazzy.
"And if something bad happens to the little dude, then we'll say we were having some technical difficulties and have to cancel" replied Sully.
Sam then hugs Luna. "If he does break down and you need some backup, then I'll come with you and Linc back to your house. He sees you as his mom and always will be and he seems to look to me as another parent figure, so I wanna be there to help him too."
Luna smiles, sheds some tears and hugs Sam. "Thanks guys, thank you for understanding!" Sully and Mazzy soon join the group hug. Luckily, Lincoln has no clue what is happening and is already plugging in the cord to Luna's axe to the amps. But then he gets this weird bad vibe, but shrugs it off.
(An hour later.)
Sully and Mazzy peek through the stage curtains and they see lots of people have arrived. They even see Liam and Tabby, even Jordan and her parents were there and some of Lori and Leni's old friends, and some pals that they know from the Royal Woods High School. They then go to Luna and Sam who are tuning their guitars.
"Guys, the place is packed and a lot of people are ready to watch us perform all while enjoying their dinner!" said Mazzy.
"And some pals of ours are there, even Tabby and his farm kid boyfriend" replied Sully.
Luna and Sam are stunned to hear this. They did not expect there to be that many people for their comeback gig. Luna was now getting worried. 'I gotta makes sure Lincoln is in a place where he won't recall some bad vibes.' Luna puts her axe down. "I'll be back guys, I need to go check on Lincoln!" She then races to where her son is.
Sam knows she's going to have it hard when the whole gig is over, or when she has to stop during the whole performance. But Lincoln is what matters to Luna, and Sam and the rest of the band know this.
Luna heads to the back of the stage and she sees Lincoln with Chunk eating some donuts. Luna goes over to them. "Hey there Linc, you doing okay?"
Lincoln and Chunk see her. "Mom? What are you doing back here? The place is packed and you have to go out there and perform."
Luna then hugs Lincoln. "I know, I know. I just needed to see if you were doing alright." Lincoln understands and hugs her back. "Are you feeling alright my boy? Anything wrong?
"I'm alright Mom, I'll be fine. Really I will, nothing bad is happening to me and I'm not getting any bad vibes about being here" replied Lincoln. They then break the hug. "Now go out there and show them why you and you're crew are called the Luna-tics!"
Luna smiles and kisses his forehead. She then looks to Chunk. "Keep an eye on him Chunk, and make sure he doesn't stray out of the area."
Chunk nods and tips his hat. "I'll keep a close eye on him Lunes, you have my word. Now get out there and rock and roll like the rocker you are meant to be." Luna smiles and then ruffles her son's hair and she goes back to the band and gets ready.
Lincoln sighs and smiles seeing his mom do what she does. Lincoln and Chunk then follow her and they stand to the side of the backstage and watch them get ready to perform, but then for a split second, Lincoln turns to his right and he sees something.
Lincoln sees the one location, the one spot at the whole backstage area where it all began. He then gets flashbacks and he sees what happened from those past two months. Luna going over and talking to him, the louds arriving and scolding Lincoln to put on the suit, Luna yelling at them and standing up for Lincoln, the fight between Luna and Lynn Jr, the debris falling, Lincoln saving Luna and Lynn Jr and then his sudden death experience and everything turning black.
Lincoln then feels so much emotion going through his head, but he calms down and puts on a straight face. He did not want to break down and make his mom stop performing. It was time for his mom to get on stage and show them that she's back and that she's a mom with the best dang son ever!
The lights are all turned off and the manager speaks. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to Banger n' Mosh, I present to you, returning back into the business of musical entertainment! The Luna-Tics!"
The lights turn back on and the curtains reveal Luna and her band and they rock out to the songs Luna and Sam made and give them a show they will all never forget!
As they perform their song, Luna looks around and hears and sees the people cheering her on, the spirit of Luna is back and her love to see people love her and her band with their music has struck her heart with the might of a thousand Mick Swagger songs, but for a brief moment she looks to her left and sees the one person who matters that most, and that is her son Lincoln.
Lincoln cheers his mom on along with Chunk, seeing him be happy and cheer her on was giving her the boost and strength to give it her all! Chunk then grabs a second guitar and tosses it to Luna and she starts playing on both instruments like a rock goddess!
"That's my mom! Woo! Go Luna!" cheered Lincoln. He could see that Luna's fiery spirit and love for music has returned and is igniting even brighter than before, she has been motivated by her fans, her friends and her lover. But most especially, family. Her son, Lincoln.
But Lincoln was once again getting that uneasy feeling in him once again, and he was feeling overwhelmed. He sucks it up and regains his posture and cheers for his mom, but he has no idea how bad it was about to end, for him.
(One heck of a performance later.)
Luna and her band finish the encore and they look to the crowd cheering them on. Luna smiled and took in the sound of their cheers and love for what they did. She then raised her hand in the air with a rock n' roll pose to it. "Goodnight Bangers n' Mosh! Rock on my peeps! Rock on!"
They all cheer as the curtain closes on them. Luna, Sam, Sully and Mazzy take the time to catch their breath. "Now that was one heck of a comeback dudes!" said Sully. "Dang this comeback was epic!"
"We definitely killed it out there! Their cheers and love made it all possible for us!" said Mazzy. "We even nailed it down with that encore!"
"A comeback people will be talking about for a long while, until we get another gig someplace else soon" replied Sam.
Luna chuckles as she takes her guitar off. "Gotta admit, that was one heck of a performance and I haven't felt that good in a long freaking while dudes!"
Lincoln and Chunk are about to go to them, but then they overhear Luna being happy. "I mean, that …. All of that just felt, felt so good! The thrill, the cheers, the peeps with their love for what we stand for, the way they all wanted that encore and the sound of our rockin' songs blaring out through the whole place! That is what I'm talking about, that is the hell raising fun I missed and sure as heck it brings me back to my greatest and finest hour! My hour and greatness of what this whole gig has made me, us, all of us! I missed this! I dang right missed this! We all missed this and now it is back within us baby! We rocked, we rolled and sure as heck we are gonna do it again! The band is back and so am I! Yeah!" Luna stops and sees Sam, Sully and Mazzy looking at her with shock.
"What's up with you guys?" Luna then sees Sam cover her mouth and then their pupil's dart back and forth at something behind her. Luna turns around and what she sees shocks her.
Right there, next to Chunk is her son. "Lincoln?" The boy looks to Luna with concern, he rubs his arm and looks down, and then it all comes back down and snap in his head.
Lincoln then recalls his …. His old family, the louds all of them. Then the memory of the bad luck fiasco rattles in his mind and Lincoln's ability to hold his bad emotions has been breached. Lincoln starts to breath heavily, his eyes start to water, he then looks to Luna with some slight fear and confusion.
Luna sees the tears in his eyes starting to grow. Sam, Sully and Mazzy realized and so did Luna. He can handle what happened back then at Bangers n' Mosh, but the dreaded loud habit of winning and want …. Cannot be contained.
Luna tries to go to Lincoln. "Lincoln, Lincoln I …" When she tries to go over to touch him, he flinches and looks away with tears falling. "Lincoln, I … I ….. I didn't mean it." Sam, Sully and Mazzy also try to approach, and so does Chunk.
"Yes, you did." Luna and everyone else stops after hearing what Lincoln said. "Y-You missed this …. You m-missed all of th-this. Like …. Like o-old times." Lincoln tries to wipe away his tears. "When we … When we …. When it all h-happened!"
Luna's heart shatters and she recalls the many times, the many times she sees Lincoln look at the trophy case, and get involved with so much trouble, and survive his talented family, even deal with Luna. "Lincoln, I …" But Lincoln slaps her hand away.
"Don't touch me Luna!" Lincoln then runs off from them.
"Lincoln!" Luna drops her guitar on the ground and goes after her son, the rest of the band follows.
Lincoln tries to run away from her and her dreams of becoming a rock star, then Lincoln trips and falls to the hard wooden ground. He gets up and feels this pain in his left hand and he sees a cut in the middle of his palm, he sees a loose nail sticking out of the floor, and his blood drips onto the ground.
Then Lincoln realizes where he is, he looks around and he sees the spot he's in is new wood, to his right are the wooden poles that support the hanging sandbags, the trash bin where the suit was thrown, the spot where the louds arrived in and then he looks up and sees in fear, right above him …. The catwalk has been placed back up there, the catwalk and sandbags that fell onto Lincoln and tried to kill him, it could've been Luna though.
Lincoln keeps staring up and shedding tears. "Lincoln!" Luna stops and sees Lincoln looking up, Luna looks up and her eyes go wide at what it was, the very same catwalk that killed him, and the worst part. Looking closely and the catwalk's underside has some kind of grayish stain. The stain from dried blood, Lincoln's dried blood!
Luna then looks to Lincoln who was now trembling and he screams and then breaks down and cries onto the ground. Luna goes over to Lincoln and checks on him.
Lincoln has stopped screaming and just lays there covering his eyes with his hands, mumbles something and cries. Luna then hugs Lincoln and also sheds some tears, she does her best to calm him down.
Sam, Sully, Mazzy and Chunk arrive and see the scene in front of them, they then look around and realize where they are. The very same place, where it all started. They then look to the two people on the ground.
Lincoln going through a mental breakdown, and Luna cradling him and trying to get him to calm down. Their epic comeback, brought Luna back to her old self, struck fearful memories into Lincoln and is now made both of them into the shattered pieces from before.
'This … This was a bad idea, I should've said no, I should've stopped this and … And' Sam covers her mouth and sheds some tears.
Sully and Mazzy look to each other and realize, they were the ones who convinced Luna and Sam that they should have an epic comeback. 'What have we done?'
Luna feels Lincoln's trembling subside. She then breaks from the hug and sees him still covering his eyes and mumbling. "Lincoln?"
From Lincoln's point of view, he feels as if he was trapped in the suit again and that no one was there to save him now. But then he hears someone calling him. "Lin … Linc ….. Lincoln?"
Lincoln then feels his hands being slowly removed. "Linc … Lincoln?"
Lincoln then opens his eyes slowly and everything is blurry, like when he almost died and his vision was shot, but he can still hear the voice. "Lincoln? ….. Lincoln?"
Lincoln's vision returns when his tears are wiped away and he can see clearly now. The white-haired boy then sees someone in front of him, with a pixie cut hairstyle, wearing a purple shirt, black jacket, blue knee ripped jeans and purple boots and a concerned expression. "Son?"
Lincoln sees it was Luna, his former sister now mother. Luna sheds tears seeing her son like this. "Lincoln, oh Lincoln I'm sorry ….. I …. I'm so sorry! This …. I should've … I should've done something! I ….. I should've ….. I should've stopped w-when I had the ch-chance! I … I'm so, so sorry for th-this!" Luna hugs Lincoln and cries. "Forgive me my son."
Lincoln's heart feels like it was slowly mending from her words. "Everything I said ….. I said was w-wrong! I … I wanted to k-keep you safe fr-from here! But …. I didn't … I didn't thi-think about me! I hurt you!"
"Mom?" Luna breaks from the hug and looks to see her son looking to her with tears. "Momma." Luna starts to shed more tears and they both hug each other. "Mom?!"
Luna just cries. "I'm here, I'm here. Mommy's here Linky, I'm here my child." Lincoln just cries and hugs her tightly. "I'll always be here."
Lincoln cries as his mother was with him once again. "I …. I thought …. I …. I don't …. Mom!"
"Shhh. Nothing is gonna happen to you, and I am not letting you go Lincoln, I'll be here for you." Luna rubs his back as they both hug and cry.
Lincoln tries to figure out how this all went down and it starts to cloud his mind. "Mom …. mo ….. mom … Mom ….. I …. I don't." Lincoln cries loudly onto her shirt. "I don't wanna die!"
That breaks everything within Luna. Sam covers her mouth in shock and Sully, Mazzy and Chunk are horrified hearing that, the very same thing he said on the very same spot.
Luna is wide eyed and continues to hug Lincoln, her train of thoughts goes back to what happened to them. She then calms down and continues to comfort her adopted son, she kisses his forehead. "I won't let you die, no one is going to kill you or keep us apart. You have my word as your mother Lincoln, I'll keep you safe my child."
Lincoln is soon calming down, but still mentally hurt. I …. I love you mom."
Luna rests her head onto his head, kisses his forehead, rubs his back and rocks him back and forth. "Mommy loves you too Lincoln, always."
Chunk is at a loss for words from this, and realizes that everything has been broken once more.
Sam stops crying and looks to her hands which are now crunched into fists and she looks to Luna and Lincoln with concern. "We're cleaning up." Sully and Mazzy look to Sam who doesn't look to them but looks to Luna and Lincoln with concern.
"We're cleaning up our gear, and then we're packing up for home, and tomorrow we're having a serious talk about ideas that you two come up with." Sully and Mazzy felt as if Sam was taking charge as Luna did, and it made her feel scary. "Luna is the band leader for a reason and she is a mom now, she has a new reason. The gigs can wait, all the gigs can wait until Lincoln is fully healed of the past."
Sam then looks to Sully and Mazzy. "Tomorrow, you two come to my house. We're going to have a nice long talk about coming up with plans behind myself and Luna's backs! Are we clear?" Sully and Mazzy nod fearfully.
Sam sighs and looks away from them. "Chunk, let's clean up our mess." But then they hear Luna getting up.
They all turn around and see Luna standing up while still hugging Lincoln, she turns around and looks to Sam with concern and Sam shows the same thing, but when Luna looks to Sully and Mazzy her look is now stern and she starts to walk away from them.
Sam knew this was bad and it could get worse. Sully and Mazzy watch as their band leader walks away with her broken down kid in her arms, still hugging her as if he was going to be taken away into a place of fear.
Luna didn't even know she didn't take the back door, she took the door that led to the front of the restaurant and all the patrons there stop talking and eating and they watch as the girl known as Luna walks passed all of them carrying the crying white-haired boy.
Liam and Tabby are shocked seeing this, and so is Jordan and her parents. "Lincoln?"
Sam sees this through the curtains and sighs, she then looks to Sully and Mazzy who also saw it. "You know people will be wondering what was going on right?" They both nod.
"Good." Sam then grabs her axe and Luna's axe, Sam notices the guitar has a crack from the drop. "Because as of now the Luna-tics are suspended until further notice!" Sam then walks out from the stage curtains and goes to follow Luna.
Sully and Mazzy are stunned at what Sam said, the band is suspended. Chunk then carries the amps into the boxes and doesn't say anything to Sully and Mazzy. He then wheels all the boxes out of the backstage, leaving the two teens who convinced Luna and Sam to do this all alone to think about what had happened.
Luna entrusted Sam about the incident with Lincoln and bad luck, she even trusted Sully and Mazzy about it, and it now falls apart right there. Sully and Mazzy have a lot to talk about with Sam, as well to Luna and, Lincoln.
(Outside.)
Sam goes over to Luna's car and she knocks on the window. The window to the passenger seat comes down and she sees Luna sitting at the driver's seat with Lincoln on her lap fast asleep, looks like all of his emotions have exhausted him and he's out like a light. Luna doesn't look at Sam and just looks ahead.
"Luna, I'm sorry this …. That this happened."
Luna says nothing, Sam is about to put the guitar into the car. "Hold onto it." Sam looks to Luna who isn't looking at her. "Hold onto it, I don't want the axe or my amps in the house, Hold onto them, until I say it's time."
Sam nods and takes the guitar back. "Okay Luna, okay."
Luna was feeling protective, the common sign of an upset mother bear. "Sam." The blonde-haired sharp looks to Luna with worry about what she'll say next. "When I call you ….. We're going to have a talk with Sully and Mazzy, and I'm bringing my kid along as well to make some new arrangements. Okay?"
Sam understands. "O-Okay." Sam feels like crying, as if she knows Luna might say something that will be too painful.
Luna looks to Sam. "I'm not breaking up with you." Sam is shocked by this. "Lincoln wouldn't want that, he would want me to be with the one I love and balance between my life outside and my life with my son." Luna then looks to her sleeping boy and kisses his forehead. "When we get back home, the ghost will be asking what happened and when I tell her ….. Then that would mean the house is restricted to the band and Chunk, but I'll try to convince her not to band you or Lincoln might convince her. Are we all at an understanding?"
Sam knows she's not alone, by her side are Sully, Mazzy and Chunk.
"You have my word Luna, always."
"We understand Lunes, and we're sorry."
"We'll take whatever punishment is in store for us."
"Right as rain luv."
Luna looks to Chunk. "Please don't call em that Chester, not now or until I say so. I'm in no mood to be like my idol, or be the country I loved."
Chunk is shocked by this, but he knows this was for the best. Until Luna calls them all back. "Alright Luna, alright."
Luna then lowers the window, starts the engine and drives off. Leaving Sam, Sully, Mazzy and Chunk to just watch as their great musical leader leaves, with her slumbering child.
(The Loud House.)
Luna opens the door to the bedroom and carries Lincoln to his bed, she then lays him down onto the lower bunk and she lays down next to him and strokes his white hair. "I promise, I will not let anything else bad happen to you, that's my promise for you my child."
Luna then pulls Lincoln close to her and closes her eyes, she kisses his forehead and cheek and hugs him tight and Lincoln hugs her tightly. "Good night son, tomorrow I will make things right, again. I will always love, sweet child of mine." Luna looks to her son for a few seconds then she falls asleep.
Great Grandma Harriet watches them from the shadows and is unhappy. She can tell something happened and she knows Luna made a mistake and that someone was responsible for this, it was not making the ghost happy at all.
A/N: Things have turned from bad to worse real fast, and the next chapter will be Luna helping Lincoln cope with this renewed source of pain and misery, as well as a talk with her band mates about what had happened. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date made: 5/23/20.
