The Loud House wasn't quite as loud that night, seeing how their only brother was in the hospital. Everyone was worried about Lincoln, and were wondering how long their brother was going to be out for. The hospital was luckily not very crowded that night, however Lincoln's leg could have been better. The bucket of cement had landed right on Lincoln's lower leg, causing an open fracture to both his tibia and fibula. Due to this, surgery had to take place, and Lincoln was kept for the night. The Family of 13 had decided to go back home, and disarm the house for when Lincoln got back.
After Luan had disarmed the few remaining traps Lincoln had not triggered, the family had called a meeting into order. Luan prepared herself for the barrage of incoming criticisms she knew she was about to be met with. Lori began the onslaught by asking what the hell luan was thinking when she put that bucket above the door. "There is no way that would end well for anyone involved" Lori stated. "How long did you think it would take to set?! What if Lincoln hadn't noticed it and backed off?! If that was enough to break his leg, what if it had hit his head?!" At this, Luan grew wide eyed as she had not considered that at the time.
Luan was then berated by the rest of her family before the parents finally decided on a punishment. "Luan, your grounded for two months, and will assist Lincoln if he needs help with moving around, and getting things done" Lynn Sr. had stated, with other members of the family felt that Their prank inducing sister deserved a harsher punishment, but were surprised by what she said shortly after. "That's it? That's all my punishment for putting my brothers life in danger?" Luan said in a quiet tone of reflection. "If it wasn't for me, he would probably have been on his way to get some ice cream with Ronnie Anne, but instead, he's about to go into surgery for what I did." At this, Lynn Sr. Decided that when He got back, Lincoln would decide on what to add to her punishment. At that, the rest of the Louds finally decided to finish the meeting, and go take showers to wash of the paint from the car prank.
Meanwhile, Lincoln was finally put under from the drugs, and the surgery was able to begin. They had to realign the bone, and were able to set Lincoln up for a successful recovery. He however will be bed ridden for a while, but will be able to walk on crunches afterward. Lincoln should be healed enough to walk after about three months or so, but will have to use the crutches for some time. After that, he can start physical therapy to make up for lost muscle mass.
Authors note:
Unfortunately, my knowledge on how long a broken leg takes to heal is limited. I have searched for information on google, but I wasn't able to find all the information I needed. None the less, I have tried, but I wasn't sure how long Lincoln would be bedridden for. I was thinking that since Lincoln is still young, he would heal pretty quick, but it should still take a while to fully heal from my research. I think Lincoln will be using the crutches for about two months, but i'm not entirely sure if that's how it would work in real life. Also, Luan only got a month grounding, and helping Lincoln as a punishment, because I'm not positive on how harsh the punishment should be. As for dialogue, I may consider changing the format, but I'm not sure if it would be necessary. I don't think i'm really good an dialogue anyways, so please forgive it. Also, the updates won't be very big, just letting you know.
as an aside, I was not expecting the story to do as well as it did. thank you for the support, and i'll try to live up to it.
