The birds were singing above the trees, the sunlight entered through the windows into the house that previously seemed like a mausoleum because of how quiet it was, but which a week ago, thanks to the arrival of the former owners' son, regained its vitality and continuous bustle, caused by a large, very large family

Lincoln and Lynn were the first to open their eyes that morning, and for the first time they both knew where they were lying and with whom, they slept well despite being on a couch for only one person, maybe they were heavy sleepers or they were just happy. of being so attached to the person they love

Lynn: Lincoln... Wake up, Lincoln... We have to get up or they'll see us - Lynn said that to Lincoln while caressing her hands, Lincoln who was lying behind her, hugging her waist while resting his face on the side. from the back of his head, to the point that he felt Lincoln's breath on the back of his neck.

Lincoln: just a few more minutes... I haven't slept this well since I was 12... -Lincoln told her that, opening his eyes a little, maintaining the hug, while he stayed close to Lynn's back, smiling at the sweet aroma she had. lynn, making me kiss her neck lovingly-...You smell wonderful

Lynn: haha, you're crazy... I didn't take a bath, so you must be delirious... -she laughed a little at the kisses that Lincoln gave her, only to then start moving her hands separating them and ending with Lincoln's hug- ...I'll go take a bath, you should do the same

Lincoln watched as Lynn stood up, stretching her arms and legs, moving her entire body as if she were warming up, which let Lincoln see all of Lynn's attractive features.

Lincoln: Is it normal that I get excited watching you warm up in the morning? -Lincoln told her that, looking at her, smiling a little, while she settled on her back on her sofa while she rubbed her eyes with her right hand, removing some of the blemishes from her-

Lynn: maybe... I still don't care... -she released a small laugh at what he said, only to then turn around and bend down a little, giving Lincoln a kiss on the lips-...when I'm done to bathe, it's your turn... You reek of sweat

After giving him that kiss, Lynn stood up straight and then began to walk towards the stairs, moving carefully not to make noise so as not to wake anyone. If they found out that they slept together, chaos could break out, with the children and their families. sisters.
Although she couldn't help but feel completely happy, she spent most of the night sleeping next to a great man, who now acts more affectionate towards her, which means that her plan for them to be a happy family was closer than she thought.

Lincoln: It's called the smell of a man - he watched as Lynn went up the stairs, she looked very sexy in her loose sleeping clothes, then when he lost sight of her he simply moved, sitting on the couch, scratching his head -

" I fell in love with my sister " that idea appeared in Lincoln's head while he scratched and moved his hair, how could he feel something like that for someone of the same blood, how could he feel so good when he hugged her or she kissed him, like something so strange it could feel so good, it was a dangerous drug, but what did it matter, she made him feel good, as if nothing mattered, his past no longer had relevance and his future he could only see next to her, but the present told him to live and just let everything take its course

Lincoln: she's not Lynn... She's the woman you want to be with... -Lincoln said that in a low voice looking forward, only to then smile and stand up-... Exactly, it doesn't matter if she They look the same, they are different people... She is a sweet and beautiful angel, my sister is a demonic witch bitch...

Lincoln said that to himself walking towards the kitchen, he had to wait for Lynn to come out of the bathroom and his clothes were in the cabinet in his parents' old room, he had nowhere to go or anything to do in the meantime, but as he entered the kitchen was surprised by the damn fourth wall

Lincoln: you again... I was already wondering where you've been this time, well... What do you want to know?... -the fourth wall moved pointing towards the sofa, only to then return to see it-... Agh it's okay, I know it's confusing that I slept with her, but I couldn't help it or control myself... When she calmed down, I felt for the first time in a long time, that everything would be okay, agh... Maybe the doc told me I was trying to say this, that to feel better I had to make peace with my demons, well done, the problem was solved... I am at peace with my demons and soon I will return to my world, what could go wrong?

The fourth wall just stared at him, Lincoln expected the damn thing to go away, but it just stared at him as if the story or that topic was still open for more problems.

Lincoln: ...I know you love it when everything goes wrong for me, but I swear this time I won't let that happen... So get out, you damned life-sucking monster, go spy on someone else.

4

The fourth wall left after that, leaving a very confused Lincoln for the moment of silence, even so he didn't see anything that could go wrong, he no longer had those problems with Lynn, so everything was surely resolved as his doctor told him. , but what Lincoln forgot is that he didn't have one demon, he had 10 demons and each one was different from the other.
Besides the fact that he simply got a mental break, the demons that gave him physical pain were still in his world, lurking like rats waiting for the darkness of the night to attack and search for food.

After an hour, little by little the children of the family opened their eyes and began to wake up, although first it was only Lacy and Loan who were determined to spend time with their father, that included the morning where they could spend more time with him, if his brothers didn't wake up early.
The first to get up was Loan who silently walked towards the exit of the room so as not to wake up his sister and then when he closed the door behind him, he was surprised to see that Lacy also left her room in silence, closing the door so as not to wake anyone up.

Loan: I guess I wasn't the only one to think that... -Loan whispered that to Lacy, looking at her with her eyes somewhat closed, only to then walk towards the bathroom-...truce?

Lacy: I think a truce is fine, we can divide the time between the two of us... Nobody wants many children overshadowing the same father - Lacy whispered that to her, smiling as she walked to the bathroom, only to then see how Loan entered first and she I would have to wait outside

Loan watched Lacy with her usual positive and cute smile, but he noticed that she was now acting more aggressive or jealous about her father. She was like Lyra when she had a partner, but at least she didn't threaten him or seemed to go straight to marking territory. about Lincoln, like some of his sisters would do with some boy.

The first to go down the stairs was Loan, who throughout the trip to the kitchen tried to keep his nerves in control and not let them grow more than they should, since Loan always thought the worst at all times "what if? " he left "" and what if he only said it so that I would stop crying " or " and if he lied to me " those and many more thoughts crossed Loan's head, until he arrived at the kitchen, all the thoughts he had in his mind were erased like chalk from a blackboard when they saw that their father was still there with them and he did not lie to them again.

Lincoln: ah hello Loan, good morning -Lincoln was standing next to Lynn having coffee with her, it seemed like they were both having a good time chatting together-

Lynn: good morning, little one, did you sleep well? -Lynn asked her that while she brought the cup that she was holding in her hands towards her mouth and then she took a sip to drink the coffee content.

2

Loan: good morning, dad, aunt lynn... Yes, I slept well - he spoke, stuttering a little because of the nerves he had about seeing his father in the morning, even so he did it better than many times where he repeated the same word or letter more 5 times-

Lincoln showed her a smile because of how sweet she looked, only to later remember that it was 10 in the morning and that she probably hadn't had breakfast, so leaving her cup of coffee on the kitchen counter, he began to open the doors. cupboards

Lincoln: I'm sorry, I'm sure you feel like having breakfast. Do you like coffee or do you prefer a cappuccino? -Lincoln asked Loan that while he placed the can with coffee beans next to the coffee machine that he had bought the first few days when he arrived in the city-

Loan: am... A coffee please, I'm more into black coffee heh - Loan said that something while watching how his father prepared what he asked for, with the light from the window it looked like a beautiful family portrait or a scene that only saw in his dreams

Lacy: good morning... -Lacy entered the kitchen saying that almost out loud, seeming very happy to see her father preparing breakfast for her older sister Loan- ...I want a cappuccino

Lincoln noticed how Lacy approached to give him a hug, which he reciprocated with his free left arm, while he placed everything in the coffee machine, then placed some milk, arranging the milk tank on the side of the coffee machine, arranging it so that can absorb the milk from the tank and prepare a cappuccino for lacy

Lynn: I'm going to prepare some toast, although we should see that everyone has breakfast - Lynn approached Lincoln, hugging him from behind so she could give him a few small kisses on the neck from behind.

3

Lincoln: We could make some waffles, I'm sure all the boys would like something sweet in the morning -Lincoln laughed a little while caressing Lynn's hands and looked back watching Lynn smiling happily-

Lynn: It sounds like a great idea, but you don't have a waffle maker... -she made a slight grimace of regret, only to then give him a kiss on the lips and then look at him smiling- ...how about you make crepes, they are similar to crepes. waffles

Lincoln: That sounds great, what would I do without you...

2

Lincoln turned around so he could face Lynn, starting to kiss her lips playfully while he grabbed her waist and they both began to act like young people in love, both were immersed in their world until they suddenly heard a "cough cough." "making them stop noticing that they were in an awkward moment

eleven

Loan: So are you guys back together?

Loan watched her father and her aunt Lynn in a somewhat curious way, she had been the one who pretended to cough to end the moment, they had apparently become very close, which was good because if Lynn could do it, her mother could too
. On the other hand, Lacy just looked at them, smiling happily with her eyes shining. She wanted to shout at the top of her lungs that her parents were back together, but she had to maintain her posture and remain silent so as not to wake up her other siblings/cousins.

Lincoln: well am... I would say that-

Lynn: Of course yes -Lynn interrupted Lincoln saying that in a proud and happy way, walking towards the cupboard where there was flour, since she had to help Lincoln with the crepes-

Lincoln: woow... Wait, not so fast speedsters... -Lincoln was very surprised by what Lynn said, then still talking to Lynn he served Loan his coffee and Lacy his cappuccino-...Okay, I admit that being with lynn makes me happy...

Lynn: you're welcome -she said that smiling, while she continued arranging everything so she could cook crepes-

Lincoln: ...ha... But, I still have to face all this and I also have too many things on my mind, to say that I love Lynn -Lincoln was speaking to Loan and Lacy, while leaning on the sink to wash dishes-

Upon hearing that, Lynn stayed silent, she didn't want to sound or look desperate so she was just going to let him continue, something always happened that made her happiness slip out of her hands.

2

Lacy: ... -takes a sip from the cup that contained cappuccino, only to then look at her mother and father afterwards- ...But, you don't dislike being with her or kissing her, does she make you happy or unhappy?

Upon hearing that question, Lynn looked askance in Lincoln's direction, noticing how he was surprised by such a question, surely he was going to refuse to answer said question or answer something else.

Lincoln: am... -he was surprised looking at his daughters, only to then begin to remember all the slight moments he had with this Lynn, so swallowing saliva he responded without having any doubt-...She...She seriously it makes me happy

Upon hearing that, Lynn became as happy as she was embarrassed, making her ears and face turn a little pink from the embarrassment of hearing someone you love say that he loves you too.

Loan: Did you have sex last night? I noticed that someone came out of my grandparents' room, if they tell me I won't tell anyone.

2

Lincoln was once again surprised by that question, causing him to go into more shock, this time the answer would have consequences, both little girls were waiting for their father's answer, Loan with an expression of an investigator interrogating a witness and Lacy with an expression of hope, If that were to happen, they would seriously get back together.
Luckily for Lincoln, Lynn appeared taking Lincoln from behind to take him to another part of the kitchen.

Lynn: Stop asking your father strange things, go to the dining room for breakfast... Your father and I will make you crepes, quick, quick.

Lincoln whispered " thank you " to Lynn making her say in his ear " you're welcome " only for them to then both start preparing the crepes they had said they would make.

The two young girls looked at their parents, noticing that they seemed closer to each other, clearly something happened at night and they would find out, but now the best thing would be to enjoy the family breakfast and not harass their father.

After a while, Lori and Ronnie Anne opened their eyes, waking up, joining Lincoln and Lynn in the kitchen. Then the other little ones in the family began to wake up due to the noise and the sun. Lincoln was surprised by how difficult it was to prepare. a simple breakfast and how noisy his morning suddenly became, he was used to his mornings being lonely and quiet, having a simple coffee with something light, then he would go to work and if he wanted something he could buy it on the way or ask your assistant to buy you

Lincoln: Are all mornings this busy? -Lincoln asked that to the person to the right of him, thinking that it was Lynn who was helping him make the crepes-

Lori: not really, they are usually busier when the whole family gets together -Lori let out a small laugh as she responded to Lincoln, when the 10 sisters were gathered with their children there was much more noise and movement, she missed that family feeling-

When Lincoln heard Lori answering him quickly, he looked at her in surprise, making her a little scared by the sudden movement. They both stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds, only to then continue cooking crepes next to each other. Lori felt that Lincoln hated him for What happened in his world and Lincoln couldn't help but remember everything when he saw her face, she was his older sister and she had to protect him from everything bad, she still abandoned him, but Lincoln didn't want to point his hatred at her, why didn't he? He deserved it in the same way that no one could blame him for everything the Lincoln of this world did.

Lori: am... In your world, your family... -it was a little difficult for her to speak because of the discomfort there was, in addition to the fact that they did not seem to be close to each other-...Is she small?

Upon hearing that question, Lynn and everyone stayed silent waiting for Lincoln's answer, it was something they had not asked or had forgotten to know, if Lincoln had a family it means that they were his second secret family or he would even want to return to them, with his beloved and her children

Lincoln: ...Mmh -I didn't know whether to answer that question, since it was a very delicate and personal topic for him-

Rochelle: Dad doesn't have a family, he's single... Well, now he has me so I'm his family -Rochelle responded for Lincoln, entering the kitchen to take the plates with crepes and take them to the dining room-

Upon hearing that he was single and available, Lynn mentally shouted "booyah" while jumping with all her happiness, while on the outside she appeared calm and unchanged, except for her huge smile of joy that she couldn't hide from Ronnie Anne. who was standing next to her helping her prepare the cream for the crepes

Lacy: He has me too! -Lacy shouted that from the dining room, she couldn't stop Rochelle from continuing to try to outshine dad just for her-

Lary: clearly he also has me - Lary was saying that while looking at his cell phone texting with someone -

After that everyone started saying that they were also his family, it was the most embarrassing moment for Lincoln who had gotten used to being alone, it was worse than the time he woke up in Central Park alone with some elephant trumpet boxers, it's still going on. investigating what happened that night

8

Lincoln: well, forget that topic... Let's have breakfast - something red finished making the last crepes with lori, only to then turn off the kitchen flame and look at everyone smiling, pretending that he wasn't embarrassed by everything they said. -

Lincoln left the dining room with the last dishes, starting to arrange everyone on the table. They were going to have breakfast as a family, although some had already eaten some crepes, so they had to be served a couple more.
That morning was very fun for Lincoln and very beautiful for his children and his sisters, even though they were from another world, for them it was as if their whole family had gotten ready and they could finally count on a real father.

After a beautiful morning in which everyone had a good time; Lori, Ronnie and Lynn went to the plaza with some of their children, Lynn wanted Lincoln to go with them, but she had to finish arranging the bathroom and she also had to arrange the rooms so that her children could sleep peacefully, it was something What they all asked him and although he did not understand why he should arrange rooms that they would use for a while, that would prevent him from being uncomfortable at some point with Loan or Ronnie Anne, so he told them that it was something important that he had to do

1

Lincoln: well then... I need you to open the windows of each room and throw everything that is not useful out the window, the dirt will be placed in these garbage bags

Those who stayed at the house to help him were Loan, Bobby Jr, Lacy and Rochelle.
At that time Lincoln gave two large garbage bags to each of them, Loan would take care of his mother's room and Aunt Leni would take care of him.
Bobby Jr. from his Aunt Luna's room and his Aunt Luan's room.
Lacy would take care of her mother and her aunt Lucy's room.
Rochelle would take care of Aunt Lana's room and Lola hers.
And Lincoln would finally take charge of Lisa and Lily's room, which was the most dangerous room in the house, because of all the hidden things and chemicals that Lisa left behind, which is why he entered the room very carefully wearing an anti-suit. viruses that Lisa had in her secret laboratory.

Rochelle: Dad! I'm done with Aunts Lola and Lana's room! -Rochelle shouted that as she left the twins' room, leaving outside two bags full of dirt and all the dust that was on the floor, the twins' room looked more normal and habitable again-

Loan: Me the same, I also discovered that my mom hasn't changed much in these years... -Loan said that coming out of his mother's old room with a photo of when Leni and Lori were young, in addition to leaving a bag outside in the hallway- ...look

Rochelle approached Loan when she offered her the photo, taking it so she could see how her aunt Leni and Lori looked almost the same as before, time didn't do much to their bodies except make them look prettier.

Rochelle: yes, you're right... my mom did change something, before she was a dwarf haha - she said that, laughing, remembering how in the family photo, her mother was always the smallest in height among all of them-

Bobby Jr.: Mom wouldn't like to know that you call her shorty - little Bobby finished cleaning the room, pulling the two heavy bags with all his might, only to hear Rochelle looking at her while she was breathing hard, catching her breath.

Rochelle: she will only get angry if some dwarf tells her -Rochelle looked at her little brother in a threatening way, which scared Bobby because it was the first time she had seen her sister act like her mother, it was something that changed in her when she met his father-

Bobby Jr: I'm not a snitch, I won't tell you - Bobby responded, angry at being accused of being a snitch, approaching them, looking offended.

Lacy: What are you talking about? -Lacy, she left her mother's room without being a little tired, arranging the two large bags next to the others, appearing curious about what they were talking about-

Loan: that Bobby is a snitch -Loan said it without any problem or without thinking that Bobby would get angry-

Bobby Jr: Hey! -I yell annoyed, making Loan get a little scared-

While they argued a little and Lacy was laughing at how funny Bobby Jr. looked, Lincoln came out of Lily and Lisa's room surprised that there were no chemicals or hidden monsters, apparently Lisa cleaned all that before leaving, so He just emerged with two garbage bags full of an anti-virus suit like he was some idiot paranoid about germs.

Lincoln: okay guys, stop arguing, we'll take these bags outside and then we have to clean the worst place in the house... The attic

Lincoln told them that while he placed his two bags next to the others, they had already finished with that floor so there was only the attic and nothing else, then when the other children arrive they could arrange everything so that they have their rooms the way they like.

Loan: but what about your old room? -Loan asked that, looking at the door at the end of the hallway, since it was the only one that no one had entered.

Rochelle: ah, don't worry, dad already cleaned that room when he arrived... -Rochelle approached the door, only to then open it showing that there was nothing except the bed and the old furniture, although some furniture was missing-...Dad burned everything he found here, even one of his furniture

When Rochelle said that smiling as if it were no big deal, the three of them looked at Lincoln as if he had been something crazy and for no reason, even so Lincoln just took off his gas mask showing a simple smile.

Lincoln: And I would do it again.

4

Lincoln was in the attic with his children, although rather he was at the entrance taking down the boxes that he gave to Rochelle and she gave them to Loan, only for her to later give them to Lacy and Bobby Jr so that They both opened them checking what was there, if they had important things then they would take them to a small warehouse that Lincoln built in the patio, their real objective was to put everything important inside and then set the whole place on fire, only to then burn the house and accuse the warehouse of starting the fire, now it should be used to store boxes of memories, although the option of setting it on fire is not yet out.

4

Lincoln: I'm surprised that they have accumulated so much stuff, they could have rented a warehouse or one of those containers, I don't know what they're called, the ones from the "who gives more" program - I was trying to remember what those places where people could leave their belongings were called. things and I only had to pay the rent per month.

2

Rochelle: They are private storage warehouses... Maybe they thought they would be safer here than somewhere else.

Rochelle responded to her father while continuing to help by receiving the boxes that Lincoln brought down, only to later pass the box to Loan, hearing someone ring the bell and knock on the door.

Rochelle: Dad, someone is knocking at the door, do you want me to answer it? -Rochelle took another box that Lincoln handed her, only to then give it to Loan-

Lincoln: Of course, there are no big boxes left and Loan can help me... Go easy - he looked out of the entrance of the attic, looking calmly at Rochelle, who was smiling at him because of how clumsy she looked -

Rochelle just got off the step where she was standing, letting Loan take her place, only to then slap her hands to remove the dust and start walking down the stairs walking quickly, whoever was knocking on the door seemed in a hurry to be attended to quickly.

Rochelle: Please wait, don't ring the doorbell again - that constant noise made her a little angry, only for later when she got to the door she unlocked it and sighed in relief when she noticed that they were no longer pressing the doorbell constantly.

Rochelle turned the handle only to then open the door a little, being surprised by the person who was on the other side of the door, causing her to have a surprised expression.

Leni: why that surprised expression?
