Friday. 10:00 pm

Finally that last work day was over, the last two weeks have been a constant stream of stress and pressure which he was finally freed from. Last weekend the clients had insisted that their projects needed urgent attention and so he had to work Saturday and Sunday in order to advance on them and even correct some minor mistakes he found here and there.

He was hoping for a juicy bonus for that but for now what this 36 year old man wanted as a payment was to untie his tie, kick off his shoes, strip to his undies and just plop on his bed so that he could just sleep all the way up to tomorrow at noon.

Enough of being the "Man with a plan" for this weekend; He was also given Monday off thanks as compensation so that was a nice cherry on top. Three days off without having to think about work till Tuesday, now this was the good life.

Even though he usually would just mope about being single still at his age when he arrived home and found no one waiting for him there, there was these few moments where he stopped the pity party about being lonely to just appreciate the peace and quiet that he could never enjoy until reaching adulthood, he was way more used to the opposite all the way up to finishing college he would admit though.

He was finally at his bed and took his cell out with the intention to just turn it off, he really didn't want to risk the company just calling him out of the blue saying how much they need the guidance of their best architect again only to interrupt his much needed rest. Twelve days without break were more than enough, he needed to catch his breath.

As if someone had known what he was doing just before he pressed the "OFF" button, the cellphone began vibrating and sure enough it was an incoming call, but it wasn't from his work, he would have just ignored it if that was the case, it was… from Lori. The curiosity about having news from the eldest of his siblings after three or four months without hearing a thing from her made him answer the call without thinking it through.

"Hello?"

"Lincoln, tomorrow Bobby and I will travel with the family to Montreal in order to sign a consortium that will allow our company to expand"

"And why should I care about that?" He thought to ask with scorn.

"And good night to you too, Lori, how have you been? I hope everything is alright, can I help you with something? Or did you just call me so I can congratulate you?"

Without a care about his sarcasm which was expected of her, his sister just cut to the chase. Lincoln wondered if that was how she acted at the company where she and her husband worked at, company that the albino thanked the heavens that had never had anything to do with company he worked at; Actually, thinking about it, his sister was just one of the many reasons why he didn't really care about entrepreneurs.

"We won't be back till Monday and I don't want to leave Loan home alone. You know how dramatic she is, she will start screaming about how we abandoned her and dumb stuff like that. So tomorrow we are leaving her with you."

Lincoln sat up on the bed with his eyes as big as plates from the shock.

"Wait. What? Why?"

"Because if we wait for you to come here we will lose the flight. Be thankful that we are the ones doing the trip."

"Wait a minute, it's not that. Look, it's not that I'm not thankful that you will let me have Loan here with me" Lincoln's face contorted into a frown from imagining what it would be to have here there with him the whole weekend "But I don't think that is wrong to expect to at least be informed about the plans."

"And what do you think I'm doing right now? As if you were gonna be busy. Or what, you had plans?"

"No, not really. But…"

"Then we are dropping her off at 7."

"Lori!"

"Could you stop your whining? I'm not asking you to take care of Enriqueta and Bob too. We are taking them with us."

"Of course you will, It would be ridiculous if I had to take care of the rest of your children too." He thought.

"And why don't you take Loan too?"

"Because we don't want her on the trip, obviously."

On the other side of the call Lincoln could hear distant sobs. Lori's voice started to sound farther and farther as she went to the source of the sound, though he could still make out what she said when she started to argue with the other person.

"Don't even start… As if you liked to spend time with me, with Bobby or your sibling… To your room! And I better find you packing your bags when I go up there… Yeah, yeah, I hate you too, whatever you want ungrateful brat" Lori's voice came back to the phone and she spoke again "Where was I? Oh yeah, stay in touch, be grateful that you can spend time with your daughter."

"Lori, maybe…"

And she hung up. Lincoln let out a long sigh before standing up. He knew there was little more to do than preparing the guest room for his daughter to stay now that she was coming tomorrow.

His daughter. He repeated that thought constantly to realize that this wasn't actually a bad scenario, maybe a bit awkward, after all it was his first born, that was conceived on the worst of circumstances when his sister got way too drunk at her engagement party with Bobby.

The then 14 year old Lincoln had to help his completely plastered eldest sister back to her bed, and while he was tucking her in she began to thank him about all the support he's always given her despite her rough personality. Those emotion and alcohol filled thanks became advances and Lincoln's hormones made him accept them with horrible guilt.

Luckily, despite Lori being 100% honest with Bobby, the man didn't dump her and continued the engagement, and even accepted to give the girl his last name of Santiago to keep the truth under wraps, but they never deceived the girl in question about her real parentage.

He was on his way to the kitchen to collect all the trash to take it out tomorrow morning, and on his trip he noticed that he had 3 new voice mails. After the Lori debacle, he decided that it was a good idea to cross those off the to do list right now especially because he now had an excuse to reject anything his work asked of him this weekend. So he just put them in loudspeaker and continued with the trash.

Message 1: Lincoln, it's me, your favorite sister "Lynn?" He mused without even giving it a second thought. But no, that raspy voice with a heavy british accent could only come from one person. "Hey guess what? I'm going on a tour! Well, it's just a small gig, but our band is going to open for one of the most hyped concerts in New York, The HughRocks! Maybe this is my biggest opportunity to hit it big, bro!"

"Like you thought were all the other ones before this one, Luna" Lincoln thought to himself feeling pretty sure that he's never even heard the name HughRocks before.

"But Lyra is not so keen on going with me. And she is the one that can wrangle Lemy, well…Could you give me a hand and take care of our little devils this weekend?"

"Absolutely no!" He answered to no one. "Lori already dropped Loan on my lap. Sorry but it's too late." Though truthfully, by the hour the massage came, Luna came first with the request. But that wasn't it for the message.

"I knew you would accept, bro. I know our little dudes will treat you well. I'll send them to ya' tomorrow noon."

Lincoln was already dialing Luna from his cell to tell her that he really couldn't, because he would already be busy with… his daughter, but it appeared her cell was turned off. Meanwhile his answering machine kept going.

Message 2: "Do I like start talking now?" The white top now was dialing Luna's house, to then curse at the prerecorded message telling him the number was temporarily suspended. Did she not pay the phone bill? Was she having financial troubles again? He hoped not, And what did Leni want?

"Really? Yes. Thanks honey. Lincoln? It's me, Leni, how have you been? I hope you're doing like great. Everything's good here, it's just that mom and dad are like gonna go out in a vacay and I want to like to use the time to go to… you know. That little problem I told you about that other time. Isn't it like too complicated? I mean, his parents are like… I don't know. I don't want to screw up."

"He seems like a great guy. I hoped that Liena could help me and come with, but he told me that like… his parents shouldn't know about her yet, I like don't want it to be like that but Liena said that it doesn't bother her and is encouraging me to try. I know that she can take care of herself but… Lincoln? Could you like… You can reject me if you can't, I'll understand. But I would really appreciate it if you could, if it isn't too much problem, that Liena could go to your home to…"

And the call ended. Lincoln failed a few times trying to reach Lyra, she probably changed her cell again, and he didn't know Lemy's number at all. He groaned in annoyance or maybe it was bitter acceptance. He now dialed a different number that was now his priority, and this time someone picked up immediately and he also made a decision immediately.

"Hello honey. It's me, dad. I hope you're ok" He heard the sound of a clicking tongue "I'm so glad, is your mom home?" Two fast clicks "Well. Look, please tell her that I would love to have you here tomorrow. Come whenever, I had no plans anyways. Or do you want me to go pick you up? One for the former, two for the latter." A single click "Alright, I just have to tell you that some of your "cousins" are gonna come here also, we are gonna have little space with all five of us, I hope you don't mind." Two soft clicks.

Lincoln couldn't contain his smile knowing that was gonna be her answer "Awesome, see you tomorrow then." Five small thumps that she probably made by hitting her finger to the phone, he knew the rhythm she was making "I love you too, honey."

And she hung up. As he was finishing collecting the trash he couldn't help but feel worried over his sister Leni. He didn't know her boyfriend, but he sounded like a kind man from what he's been told, extremely patient with her as their daughter explained, and that was all that Liena needed.

Lincoln didn't like the idea that the guy wanted to hide the fact that the woman he was dating already had a daughter from his family… A daughter she conceived with her own 16 year old brother nonetheless.

Lincoln remembered Leni having just turned 21 had something she had a lot of curiosity to experiment with and well, she asked a person she felt was close and trustworthy to help. The annoyance of trying over and over to show Leni why that was a bad idea hit him like a ton of bricks especially since he already had done it with Lori so Leni had evidence against him.

He ended up buckling under the pressure and 9 months later they learned that trust and responsibility didn't go hand in hand as well as he believed. Lincoln decided to put that thought under the rug for now because in some ways he was excited about having Liena here tomorrow; And now he felt like a douche for playing favorites with Liena.

On his way to clean the guest room he wondered how he was going to organize the space with his son, three daughters and himself. He signed with resignation. Loan and Liena are gonna take the guest room, Lyra and Lemy will take his room, while he will sleep on the sofa.

After finishing the chores Lincoln went straight for a shower, but just before he stripped someone rang the bell. Looking at the clock he realized that it's only been an hour since he came back home and somehow the whole world now needed him for some reason. Without much enthusiasm he decided not to ignore the doorbell but not before leaving his cell phone recharging in his room.

Para el autor original: Como estoy seguro que nunca he dejado un comentario en su historia le voy a decir, que me encanta, lo unico que me incomoda de ella y estoy seguro que es aproposito ya que es lo que guía la mayor parte del drama en la historia es lo mucho que Lincoln le da preferencia tanto a sus hijos como a sus hermanas, no tiene ni la menor idea de cuanto me desgarró el corazón escribir esa escena donde Luna le se refiere a sí misma como su hermana favorita y el baboso responde "¿Lynn?".

Sinceramente espero que para el final de la historia (si le apetece terminarla) tenga una escena en que los niños traten de hacer que sus respectivas madres consigan más puntos de favoritismo con Lincoln y ellas solo digan algo como "¿Qué? ¿Que Lincoln le diría que "no" a cualquiera de nosotras? Pero si más mandilón que él no existe, solo está tratando de verse fuerte y ustedes de mensos se la creen." pero he disfrutado su historia de sobremanera hasta ahora y si me permite continuar ahora la voy a leer con detenimiento.

Author's notes: Well, I just wanted to share with you guys a story I loved, with a very interesting premise on this fandom, hope you guys enjoy it, and if anyone is asking for my other stories I'm not sure if this means I'm back since translating doesn't need a tenth of the effort that writing something of your own would, but if you give this a chance I thank you so very much for your time and attention.
