The next morning.
Many of the members of the Loud family were at that time having breakfast in the dining room, as if it were a cafeteria, you could see the young people entering and leaving the kitchen waiting for their food to be served, while the adults, as if they were In a time trial they were preparing breakfast, which this morning would be chocolate brownies with some cappuccino, so they had to prepare enough brawnies for everyone so that no one would be left hungry.
Bobby Jr: how long until everything is done? ... –the little 15-year-old Mexican asked that to the adults in the kitchen, while he stood at the entrance of the kitchen that led to the dining room where the young people were settling down–... We are already leaving the morning
Ronnie Anne: son, breakfast will be here soon... Go back to the dining room and have fun with your sisters, they must be having a good time together – Ronnie Anne approached her little son, taking him by the shoulders and turning him around so that he was looking at the dining room , only to then push him slightly to make him leave–
Leni: guys, get settled, we will serve breakfast soon... –Leni said that to the young people, making them stop moving around the dining room and the living room, going to their respective places at the table, the same ones they occupied yesterday at dinner. of the night– ... Great, Rochelle my love, could you do me a favor and bring your sister Loan
The only one missing from the table when counting them was Loan, who seemed not to have woken up yet. Perhaps before, being present at breakfast was not mandatory, but now they should be a normal and happy family.
It was necessary for it to become a habit to eat and have breakfast as a family every day, it would surely be a nice memory for the children, that's what Leni and Lynn thought, although the second only because she wanted Lincoln to have a more affectionate feeling in the word "Family." "
Rochelle: Of course Tia... –Rochelle got up from her seat, observing in passing how her brothers Reina and BJ seemed to be fighting over some stupid thing, so as she walked and passed behind them she separated them very angrily–...Stop talking. fight now
They both noticed Rochelle's threatening attitude, which was similar to Lyra's at Christmas. Since she ran away from home, she has changed a lot in that regard. Apparently, now she could scare her little brothers and family, something that wasn't very scary before. possible because he was always distant from them
Reina: I liked the Rochelle from before better... She stinks –Queen continued to contradict her sister, looking at her with an expression that was also somewhat threatening, as if she wanted to show that she was not afraid of her sister–
Rochelle: Well, what do you think... –Rochelle slowly approached her sister, acting even more threatening, making her young sister hesitate a little and begin to feel more afraid–...That Rochelle is dead, do you want to accompany her? brat
1
Queen: ... -she remained silent while she felt a chill run down her spine at the threat of her older sister, making her suddenly scream for help - ... Mom! Rochelle wants to kill me!
At Reina's sudden scream, everyone watched the scene, waiting for the inevitable. The mother of both girls appeared from the kitchen, defending the younger one since the older one seemed to have put her on her "ignore" or "don't talk" list.
Ronnie Anne: Rochelle, stop threatening your little sister... –Ronnie Anne said that to her eldest daughter while she took off her kitchen gloves and apron, defending the daughter who asked her for help, making Rochelle look at her like If I said "but..." - ...No buts, leave your little sister and go wake up Loan
Rochelle: agh... Whatever you want... -Rochelle said this, annoyed that she was defending her most rebellious daughter, watching how Reina seemed to smile victoriously, making Rochelle get upset and give her a sudden blow on the head with her palm- ...Brat
Reina, upon feeling the blow strongly, began to complain, shouting "he hit me, mom!" and then starting to yell at his sister who was going up the stairs, as if she were a troublemaker in some bar "if you leave, run away like a coward"
Making his brother Bj and the younger ones laugh at the fun of the morning , while Liena just shook her head thinking that Reina didn't learn from her mistakes.
After a while Rochelle and Loan went down the stairs arriving at the dining room where they were all gathered, Loan's hair was still a little wet from having bathed recently, he had different clothes than the one he wore when he went to bed the night before and now he looked somewhat prettier, although soon her hair would be messy again, and she would look like she always did.
Loan: good morning... -the young woman said that, greeting her brothers and her mother, as well as her aunts, everyone was already settled in the kitchen so passing behind her father she rested her hands on his shoulders. of him, giving him a kiss on the head–… Good morning, dad
Rochelle: Loan, keep moving... - Rochelle pushed her sister when she saw what she was doing, causing her sisters to laugh when they noticed that she was jealous - ... Great, they didn't save places for me
Rochelle said that when she saw that the only two free seats were very far from her father, so she reluctantly sat next to her sister Loan, before her whole family arrived she could sit next to her father without any problem, no. He had nothing against his family and he loved them even if he didn't say it often, although he did have a problem with what; Since they arrived home she had little time with her father.
Rochelle: Dad... –Rochelle spoke to her father while taking a bite of a Brownie that she was holding in her right hand, only to then look at him naturally–...Today I have to go buy some comics downtown commercial, could you accompany me?
Everyone looked at young Rochelle, the adults because they understood that the girl only wanted to spend time with her father, like before they all also wanted to spend time with their father, when there are many children and only one father, no one gets to spend much time. time alone with him, it is normal for them to look for a way to spend more time with their father.
Lincoln: Sure, I bought some cake at the local pastry shop by the way... –Lincoln said that, smiling a little while he stopped eating a Brawnie, taking his cup of cappuccino, taking a quick sip and then putting his cup down–
Rochelle: great –Rochelle said that, showing a happy smile, while looking victoriously at her brothers–
All the siblings looked angry at Rochelle for making such a move without inviting them, all except Liena who like her mother had sweetness and kindness to spare, she didn't care about overshadowing her father, after all he was the father of all of them, no one He was his only son.
Lynn: How about we all go... –Lynn said that thinking that they could have a good time as a family, besides that since she didn't have much to do these days, she could use her time to be with Lincoln–... It could be a family day
Rochelle looked at her aunt Lynn, surprised and a little angry at what she said, while her siblings were very happy to be able to go all together, that way her sister Rochelle couldn't leave them behind anymore, she had a great advantage by staying longer. with her father from another world, you could see how they were both very close and knew each other, Rochelle even had a rabbit that dad gave her before they arrived, she didn't let anyone touch that Plush Rabbit.

Lari: I think it's a great idea, I heard there are new clothes in the clothing section, maybe I can buy something nice for Lacy and Lynn 3rd - Lari said that, looking very excited, she didn't have her cell phone because her father asked her to get it. left while they had breakfast or dinner, he didn't like the idea of being away from his cell phone, but for his father he could make an exception–
Liena: Could you also help me buy Lyle some nice dress –Liena said that as a joke for her brother, laughing when she saw how her little brother who looked like a girl got angry at her comment–
Lyle: No one is going to buy me a dress! I am a boy! –Lyle shouted at all her older sisters when he saw their smiles of mockery or desire, he knew that they were thinking of putting all kinds of feminine clothes on him–
2
Bobby Jr: calm down, sweetheart –Bobby Jr said that, smiling while looking at him from the front when he was sitting on the other side of the table–
Lyle: Don't call me "candy"! –Lyle yelled angrily at his brother BJ for calling him "candy" as if it were a collision making a drama–
Bobby Jr: Understood, pallet –Bobby Jr continued making jokes, looking at him, smiling in an almost mischievous way, although it was rather mocking–
Lyle: ugh – already knowing that no matter what he said, BJ would continue making fun of him, so he just stayed silent, very upset –
Queen: get a room –queen said that, laughing a little at how they both stayed for a moment just talking to each other–
Lyle: Hey! We are both brothers and we are men! –Lyle reacted to Reina's comment by getting much more upset and feeling uncomfortable because of what she said, he continued treating him as if she were a woman–
Lynn 3rd: That didn't stop our parents.
4
Everyone started laughing at what Lynn the 3rd said, while the adults except Leni felt a little embarrassed by what one of Lynn's daughters said, they didn't want their children to grow up thinking that incestuous relationships were normal. It's okay for them to fall in love with a family member, as long as it's something romantic and from the heart, not something fleeting or simply sexual like many relationships today.
Lincoln: haha, stop bothering your brother, let's finish breakfast in peace
Lincoln stopped everyone while laughing at how funny they looked, receiving a "Thank you" from his young son Lyle, although he had to keep to himself that when he thanked him he looked very tender, seriously he inherited the sweetness from his mother
3
After breakfast the whole family spent the morning hours doing what they usually would do; Rochelle, Lari, Liena and Loan met in the backyard setting up a small wooden table, they were talking about their lives since they had not seen each other in months, from time to time the neighbor's young son Ash Davis was seen peeking out of the garden, until it became obvious that she wanted to get their attention when she appeared with two other boys who were her friends, who approached the garden fence starting to compliment them and act gallant for them.
Something that they did not give importance to, until they became very annoying and persistent, causing Lari, already very fed up with them, to speak to them.
Lari: hey, stop bothering, if you expect some woman to fall for you with those shitty compliments, get ready to be alone your whole life –Lari said that to the 3 boys, acting just as annoying and threatening as she did with her friends. brothers, causing the young people to remain silent and leave, returning to the house–
Liena: don't worry, surely some blind girl will love you - she told them that hoping it would make them feel less hurt, although in reality it was just as insulting as her sister Lari -
2
Loan: Liena, please don't try to help them –she took her sister Liena's hand, making her return to sit down since she had gotten up to talk to the boys–
Rochelle: I'm surprised you didn't throw yourself at them, I always saw you as a very active girl... –Rochelle said that to Lari while she took one of the cookies they brought from the kitchen, Aunt Lynn had really improved in the kitchen - ... What happened with your boyfriend?
Lari, upon hearing what Rochelle told her, understood the hint she was giving her, appearing very calm and animated, although she felt that she was very angry inside.
Lari: how strange to hear that from a girl who always pushed all the boys away from her school... –She also gave him a hint, all the boys who fell in love with Rochelle's pretty face ended up losing love and attraction when she saw her. knew better, being very macho in the point of being self-sufficient, many boys felt somewhat threatened by seeing that they could not act as strong men in front of a girl who was stronger than them–... We ended a year ago, perhaps already you lost your memory
Rochelle: and you lost your decency? –She was more direct with this question, showing that what Lari told her seriously affected her, making her fire of anger ignite –
Lari and Rochelle looked at each other in a friendly manner, but with a murderous aura making the sparks collide between their gazes, Liena and Loan only continued chatting about their lives while eating simple homemade cookies, avoiding the topic of their sisters.
While the four older sisters of the house were enjoying the morning and afternoon in the backyard, the other young people were in the front playing basketball together, it had been decided that whoever won a Rock, Paper or Scissors would end up choosing the game What they didn't know was that Lacy had trained day and night to be the best at that game; After she lost in elementary school to a girl in this children's game, since then literally no one has beaten Lacy in any game.
The teams were divided by; Lacy, Lynn 3rd and Bed on the attacking side, and by; Bobby jr, Lyle and Reina on the defense team.
The rules of the game were easy to understand, the defense team had to prevent the attack team from inserting the ball into the basketball hoop placed above the entrance to the Garage, allowing them to play in the entrance part of said garage.
Lyle: "How about we play rock, paper, scissors" ... –Lyle got up from the ground while he said that reluctantly and listened to how Lacy's team celebrated having hit the ball in their hoop - ... "She I'm sure she's bad at playing something that has to do with luck" right BJ?
1
Bobby Jr: ah, stop complaining, anyone makes a mistake –Bobby Jr also got up from the ground, breathing very tired and agitated from having been pushed by Lacy's body–
Queen: but you have the power to always be wrong, like that time you said that Lari wouldn't know that we took 50 dollars from her wallet - she was standing breathing hard, she wasn't on the floor because she decided she wasn't going to lose a tooth when going against Lacy–
Since the game started, the defense team could not prevent them from hitting even once, at this moment they were losing 12/0, which seriously caused them some annoyance. Seriously, Bobby Jr didn't know that Lacy was good at playing rock, paper or scissors, I mean how was it possible to be good at that, she said she discovered a trick.
2
Bobby Jr: okay, I admit that this didn't turn out as I had planned... –Bobby Jr responded to his brothers, looking upset at having lost against Lacy in a rock, paper, scissors game–... We can still win, We should only attack on the weakest flanks
Lyle: are you talking about... –Lyle seemed very serious and worried about what he was saying, while the scene became more serious–...That?
The entire playing field became the top of a mountain where they were fighting against enemies who wanted their end, the basketball hoop shone while the basketball burned in flames, in front of them a Lacy who gave off a murderous aura looked at them. smiling waiting for them to serve and he can counterattack
Queen: It's crazy, even if they are weak Lacy could discover our plan! –Queen seemed extremely scared, she once tried to win against Lacy and the result of her cheating was a crushing defeat–
Bobby Jr: we have no choice, we have to hit this time... –Bobby Jr approached the ball, taking it in his hands, walking towards the center of what was his court of death, feeling how all the air was going only in one direction. and a strong wind was created, with each step that the monster they were going to face took the whole place shook and the air gathered around it creating an ascending blizzard, the two teams stopped in the middle looking at each other ready for their plan. –...This time we will take out
Lacy: I hope so... Brother –Lacy emphasized the word "Brother" as if it were a movie in which two relatives fight to the death–
The entire atmosphere became tense and silent while Bobby Jr. got ready, everyone got into an advanced position, except for Lynn the 3rd who was forced to play and little Bed who was afraid of the tension that existed between her older brothers.
They stayed like this for a few minutes until finally Bobby Jr threw the basketball into the sky so that someone could catch it when it fell, as in the previous serves. Lacy was the fastest and most athletic by jumping much more than Bobby Jr could, taking the ball with his hands to be able to lower it to the ground and move quickly towards the hoop
Bobby Jr: now!... -BJ said that, taking some dirt from the ground, throwing it towards his sister Lacy's face, causing it to hit his face, causing him to close his eyes and cough because of the dirt that got into his mouth. –
Lacy: wag... What are you... –Lacy didn't say much as she spit and rubbed her face with her hands to remove the dirt that her brother threw at her–
Bobby Jr, taking advantage of that distraction, took the basketball and passed it to his sister Reina, who did not hesitate to take advantage of that opportunity to advance towards the only Hoop there was, on his way he crossed paths with Lacy's twin; Lynn 3rd, who made no effort to stop her, simply moved her hand to the side of her and when she was passed by Reina, without much anger or emotion in her voice she said "Damn, it happened...".
Reina advanced alone, followed by Lyle, while Lacy, who was already recovering, was stopped by Bobby Jr., who did not hesitate to cheat again by throwing himself to the ground, clinging like a monkey to one of his sister Lacy's legs.
Bobby Jr: Run, Queen! Runs! ... – Bobby Jr. said that as if he were sacrificing himself, while he clung to Lacy's leg with all his strength – ... Forget about me, win! You have to win!
Lacy: this is cheating, it's not worth it! –Lacy, who was known for being good at many things and always following the rules, complained very annoyed with what they did while she advanced pulling Bobby Jr who clung to her left leg, she didn't think as much as she thought–
Queen: brother! ... –Queen stopped to observe how her brother sacrificed his decency so that they could win– ...Your sacrifice will not be forgotten! –Some tears showed on the sides of her eyes, while she saw how her brother smiled, closing his eyes, accepting her fate –
Reina and Lyle quickly advanced towards the Hoop, while Lacy was stopped, now the only defense on Lacy's team was Bed who clearly could not against them.
Lacy: Bed, you have to stop them! –Lacy yelled that at her little sister, hoping that she would stop them, Lacy was not one of those who saw weak people, she always thought that everyone could do what she did, she even once played a few races with an old man, no. It should be mentioned that he had a heart attack halfway there, from that day on he was forbidden to go closer than 30 meters to a nursing home –
1
Bed: but... –The little Bed watched as her two brothers advanced mercilessly, completely blinded by the desire for victory, so she took a few steps back, very frightened–... Dad!
1
The little bed shouted that when her two brothers were already about two steps away from her, Reina quickly passed her by passing by her and then taking the ball she threw it towards the hoop, at a distance of 6 steps so it would be impossible to miss, They had already secured a point and if everything continued like this, they would win.
But, then the ball was stopped by a hand that hit it, throwing it down, from the sky a being of incredible power and with a force that surpassed Lacy came down to help little Bed, had jumped to stop the ball that was going to so when he fell he landed on his feet behind Bed, making it look like a scene from JoJo or some summoning anime.
Queen: nani! –Queen said that while she watched completely surprised as the one who stopped her shooting was none other than her aunt Lynn –
1
Lynn: ... -she stood silently behind Bed only to then point the index finger of her right hand at Lyle and Reina - ... Omae wa mou ... Shindeiru
4
When Lynn said that everyone stayed silent, they stayed like that for a few minutes, Lacy and Lynn 3rd because of how embarrassed they were that their mother said that, Bed on the other hand watched his aunt Lynn in amazement who looked very cool for him. her at that moment, then Bobby Jr, Reina and Lyle were in shock for everything they had to sacrifice to be close to landing, but because of their aunt they couldn't even make a single point and last, but not least, the proud Lynn who only listened to how Bed praised him for how great he looked, plus she liked knowing that Lincoln asked her to come help Bed who seemed to be scared.
Surely this favor could be repaid in a very personal way, although she couldn't notice it, her lustful desires were visible in her happy smile and her blush, making her daughters feel even more ashamed of having such a perverted mother.
Lincoln: well, my help here is no longer necessary... –Lincoln said that, looking at everything from the porch of the house, leaning on the fence that surrounded the porch, placing his arms and shoulders on the fence, looking with a happy smile. the scene-
Ronnie Anne: you didn't help at all –Ronnie Anne, who was just leaving the house to get some air, heard him say that, getting a little closer to him, noticing the scene in the front of the garage–
Lincoln: oh no... –Lincoln said that as he walked away showing a satisfied smile–
1
Ronnie Anne: of course not, come here –Ronnie Anne continued to seem somewhat upset about the fact that she didn't help and she thinks that she did help–
3
Lincoln began to increase the speed of his walk until he began to run to avoid Ronnie Anne from catching him, while saying out loud "Lincoln Nimoy, he's gone!" preventing the Mexican from catching him and surely hitting him, although in reality Ronnie Anne began to chase him just because it was fun and made her remember the days of her childhood with Lincoln, I wish she had never become such an idiot, but otherwise it would have happened That would never have met this Lincoln.
Enigmatic questions were never lacking in this house inhabited by a large and noisy family.
After that entertaining morning and afternoon at the Loud house, the entire family gathered for their trip to the Mall. At first it was planned as a father-daughter day between Lincoln and Rochelle, but everything became more complicated when everyone They joined together, so to make it a fun day for everyone it was planned that they should separate into groups and then meet up to eat some ice cream or dessert somewhere.
Lincoln would be in charge of Rochelle, Lacy and Loan.
Lori would be in charge of Lari, Lynn 3rd and Lyle
while Leni and Ronnie Anne; They would be in charge of Liena, Bed, Reina and Bobby Jr.
It was a very busy and tiring day, but also fun since everyone had a good time, in addition to the fact that 3 daughters managed to spend a father-daughter day as they wanted so much, Although from time to time the groups of parents changed some of the children, apparently many wanted to rotate so they could spend some time with their father, that way they could get to know him more and he could get to know them too, maybe even feel the same as he feels. by Rochelle.
Lincoln: ...Sure, I hope your trip is safe... See you when you get there, tell Grandma to take care of her hip... Agh, I already told her it's only for money, besides, they're not that bad people... –Lincoln was talking on the phone while he walked with everyone, his ice cream was being held by Lynn who was walking next to him listening to the entire conversation, completely with his guard up in case he seemed to be talking to a girl–... Take care Felipe, Goodbye " "Gringo" haha
The whole family was walking next to him while he was talking on the phone, they seemed very interested in his talk since they wanted to know about their father's life before they met him, apparently Felipe was an old friend of his and would be coming to town soon. , they did not have much more information other than that his father seemed to be very esteemed and that he was the one who helped him in his most difficult moments, like when he crossed the border illegally; or so Rochelle told them.
Lynn: so we will have guests this weekend, I'll let mom and dad know... —Lynn said that, smiling a little while she handed her ice cream to Lincoln, and then continued eating hers—... It will be a nice reunion familiar
Lincoln: How about we avoid that family reunion thing, I would hate to bother his parents -Lincoln said that acting as if he didn't want to bother the parents of the Lincoln of this world, although you could see that he said it because he didn't want to spend family time. with them-
Lynn: ah come on, it will be fun and you can get to know your in-laws better –Lynn said that, showing a very mischievous and animated smile, only to then take a bite of her ice cream–
Everyone stayed silent at what Lynn said, watching as Lincoln got a little nervous about what she said, they seriously didn't understand how Lynn could be so direct and not be ashamed of what she said.
Although the scene caused them some tenderness as well as laughter, you could see that Lynn was seriously having a good time these days, just like everyone else.
Lori: What Lynn means is that you can get to know our parents better, see a side of them that you might like... –Lori said that walking behind Lincoln since the sidewalk was too small for them to move together, he said that to Lincoln, resting his right hand on Lincoln's right shoulder - ... Please think of that as a good thing.
Lincoln looked back observing Lori, she showed him a reassuring smile, seriously Lori looked very pretty at that moment despite not having highlighting clothes, he felt calmer and more confident thanks to her, resting his left hand on Lori's accepting that maybe a family reunion wouldn't be a bad idea.
Since last night they both became a little closer, it was noticeable that they were talking more in addition to being very close, it didn't take long for the others to see how they both laughed when they spoke or how Lori was no longer afraid of being close to Lincoln, she acted as she did. towards the first days of marriage with a certain person, which now it was better to forget or not think about.
Lincoln: okay, I'll try to endure that meeting -Lincoln said that, showing a slight smile while looking at Lori, she helped him a lot the night before, he owed her at least this much and he couldn't deny her something, although deep down he still doubted that meeting and I also had many doubts about the kiss last night, although it felt very good at that moment–
3
While they both had a very strange moment for each other and it ended; Lynn, Leni and Ronnie Anne watched them carefully, noticing the slight love in the air. Seriously, there was no doubt that something happened between them, which made the others feel somewhat jealous, much more so to Lynn, who thought she would have this Lincoln. only for her, although she shouldn't feel isolated, after all she was the one who was closest to him.
Ronnie Anne: And are you going to tell me what happened? ... –Ronnie Anne asked Lori that in a low voice, so that Lynn, Leni and the children wouldn't hear them talking, they were both good friends so I thought she would tell her if something happened–
Lori: what? ... –Lori didn't understand why her friend asked her that, besides the fact that she didn't know what she was referring to–
Ronnie Anne: ah come on, between you and Lincoln... You can tell from miles away that something happened between you... -Ronnie Anne was more direct, showing very interested in knowing what happened, taking Lori by the hand to lead her towards him. back of the group, stopping to be able to talk–... Tell me, let's get it out of the way
Lori: ...Is it so noticeable? ... –Lori said that, appearing very blushing, besides being surprised that they had noticed it, she thought that they didn't act strange and that no one would notice–
Ronnie Anne: what? That you two look at each other as if you were two teenagers in love who deny their love, of course it doesn't show that much... Surely Lynn, Leni and your daughters don't notice how you laugh, and talk to each other more than before -Ronnie Anne said that sarcastic, it was clear to everyone that something had happened between them –
Lori: ahh god... -She covered her face, feeling very ashamed that everyone noticed it, Lynn was probably very upset that something had happened in secret, when they all decided to be partners of the same man, even though they all pretended not to have a problem. With that, sometimes it was noticeable that some of them felt a little bothered by the time that Lincoln spent with some of them and Lynn did not hide her fury at the thought that some sister wanted to overshadow her beloved - ... I hope Lynn doesn't get angry, just It was a kiss... We met at night, he seemed very worried, I just wanted to help him feel better... But by the time I realized...
Ronnie Anne: ...Were you against the wall screaming "Oh yeah, Lincoln" "Oh harder"? Hahaha –Ronnie Anne said that as a joke while she laughed and imagined what happened last night after that kiss–
2
Lori: No! It was just a kiss! Neither of them wanted to go that far, it was just a simple kiss! ... -she said that denying the sexual act, Ronnie Anne noticed that she was not lying because she knew when she was telling a lie, it was a quality that is achieved by living with someone for a long time - ... That was all, I swear. .. Then we just went to sleep, but this morning I felt lighter and happier being close to him.
Ronnie: You're so sweet and cheesy, I doubt you're Lori... –she said that because she never thought that her friend would act in such a cheesy way just for a man, they always used to make perverted jokes with the boys they dated. – ... So there wasn't any sex?
In response to Ronnie Anne's question, the still somewhat embarrassed Lori just shook her head, while she covered her face with her hands. Her friend made her think about what would have happened if Lincoln had wanted her a little more the night before. Should she let him? that that will happen? Would he have thought about having sex with her?
Ronnie Anne: that's bad, you should be more aggressive... From now on I will help you, we will try to make Lincoln fall for your charms, before you had to share him with a lot of women, but now there are only Lynn and Leni, if you don't take advantage of this moment You could end up on the outside or worse, Lynn could convince Lincoln that she alone is enough.
6
Ronnie Anne said that to Lori as they resumed their walk, her plan was for Lori and Lincoln to end up together, she had never seen her friend so in love, plus this Lincoln didn't look like a bad guy, he didn't look at all like the Lincoln she was with. He spent his adolescence, the one who when he reached adulthood began to act gallant and stupid with every woman he came across, this was someone more normal and he was also a good father, he had to do everything in his power so that Lori had something of the happiness that Lynn now had
The whole family, finishing their walk, was already walking along the sidewalk, on Franklin Avenue, Lori and Ronnie Anne caught up with them saying that they had been left behind because Ronnie Anne received an important call, which their children realized was a lie because She didn't work, she was only in charge of taking care of the children and taking care of the family business. After her son Toby was born, Lincoln convinced her that she should leave university and that she should only take care of the children. She didn't see a problem. thinking it would be like a typical family, but that was before he started disappearing often.
2
Lari: so how do you get money? –All the young people had been talking to their father, questioning him very often, now it was Lari's turn and she had been having that doubt since they arrived, it seemed that her father received money into an account, and he took it out of an account–
6
Lincoln: Well, am... –he scratched the back of his neck thinking about whether to answer that question or not, so he thought that maybe the best thing would be to tell a white lie–...I'm a part-time employee, someone asks me for things that I can do from home and I help them, I tell them how to transport things, I take care of the paperwork and ensure that what is transported arrives on time at the delivery point.
Lincoln said that, pretending that he was a simple office worker who worked from home, but his work was more illegal than he imagined, thanks to the high knowledge he acquired from being a businessman and studying multiple technology subjects, he liked to go to the laboratories, namely that his employees built, he acquired great computer knowledge, which could be used to falsify papers of any type and prepare roads to transport "merchandise" without being stopped, in today's world everything was digital, so A truck could be prevented from being detained if at each checkpoint a notice was sent from a well-known company that the cargo they were carrying was very important.
The officers only did a simple check when opening the door, only to then let them go, in addition there was bribery and extortion, many officers had a dark secret to hide, Lincoln was not a criminal, he was just the person who chose the path for him. perfect for trucks, you could say it was their "GPS"
Rochelle: So, you are a simple employee of a delivery company... –Rochelle noticed that her father was lying, but the best thing would be to cover it up to prevent all this from becoming a drama because he does something illegal–... Cute
Lincoln: Exactly, I work for a delivery company! –Lincoln admitted that part by accepting the life jacket from his daughter Rochelle, seriously she was panicking and this helped her avoid the topic–
All the young people believed that lie as did their sisters, although Rochelle had planned to speak privately with her father later to discuss, she did not want her "job" to bring some problems to the family, such as her former father's alcoholism.
The family was already arriving home very tired but happy from the day they had, but when they arrived in front of the house they were surprised to see a girl the same age as Loan and a girl with white hair, who looked like the same girl. same age as Bed
Leni: Lyna? ... –Leni was the only one to speak after the surprise that the whole family received, she had met Lyna when she met with Luna from time to time–
Lyna: Hello... Aunts, cousins –Lyna said that very nervously, greeting all her aunts and her cousins/siblings, knowing that they were going to get angry–
The whole family watched as Lyna was standing on the porch of the house with Sam and Luna's daughter. Not seeing Luna's family bus or her sister, with her other children, it was obvious that she had escaped as she had. made Rochelle a month before.
All the members of the family were gathered in the living room of the house, the young people saw everything from the foot of the stairs, standing all together observing the scene of their parents challenging only Lyna, since Edie being Sam's daughter and Luna couldn't tell her much, although she received few reprimands, she was the adult and had to prevent a 12-year-old girl from escaping from her house, now they had to call Luna to let her know everything that was happening.
Lori: What were you thinking? Lyna – Lori was the one who now had the floor, observing her nieces Lyna and Edie sitting on her couch, while Ronnie Anne, Leni and Lynn were standing next to her –
Edie: am... -she raised her hand hoping they would let her speak, seeing that they didn't tell her anything, she decided to speak with their permission-...The idea was mine, Lyna only accompanied me
Lyna: that's not true! She just wanted to help me meet my father! –Lyna quickly spoke up to defend her sister Edie from her who only wanted to help her so she would feel better–
When Lyna said that everyone stayed silent, both young women who had just arrived directed their gaze at Lincoln who was sitting on the sofa of a person to the left of them and to the right of his sisters, Lincoln just watched how everyone looked at him, making him simply smile, putting his hands together in a sign of peace.
Lincoln: ...It's getting dark, how about I order a pizza... –At what he said, all his children were very excited, without giving much importance to the arrival of Edie and Lyna, Their mothers on the other hand They wanted to continue challenging both young women, but Lincoln stood up hoping that the topic would stop being discussed - ...Look, I understand that it is a serious topic... But, they must have had a long trip, and the best thing for now would be to talk about it. while we eat
Lincoln wanted to act as the pacifist of the meeting, surely they could talk without shouting while eating a salami or extra cheese pizza, he was craving the special from the downtown pizzeria, Lori wanted to continue challenging Lyna and Edie for being so irresponsible, but When I thought about it, it was getting dark and Lyna already seemed very sad to think that she was wrong.
Lori: okay, but we'll continue talking at dinner... I'll go tell Luna –Lori left after saying that to Lyna and Edie, heading to the wall phone they had near the stairs to call Luna–
Ronnie Anne: well guys, the scene is over, go do something while we order the pizza –Ronnie Anne was in charge of explaining to the spectators who were observing the scene, she remembered how when she was a child she always enjoyed seeing her brothers being reprimanded for their mother, although only when it was mild, sometimes she would go and defend them if everything was also their fault–
Lacy: okay, but ask for mushrooms for me... –Lacy was saying that to her mother as she went up the stairs, waiting for them to put mushrooms on her pizza–
After Lacy, the others also began to order their pizza tastes. Lynn, listening to everyone, knew that she should order 4 pizzas with parts of each of their tastes. If they got an order wrong, bad for them, in a family. number not everyone could have what they wanted.
While Lynn took her cell phone to call the pizzeria downtown, Lincoln watched his daughter Lyna and Edie, he had to find out whose daughters they were, although as far as he heard they were Luna's, but Lyna looked very different from Luna and Edie couldn't tell. I looked like his daughter
Lincoln: So Lyna, who is your father? ... -Lincoln was asking Lyna that, being a little nervous because the 12-year-old girl was very nervous and scared, apparently they didn't know each other, when he heard the "Yes" almost like a whisper, he simply sighed - ... Haa ...And your mother is Luna?
Lyna: no, Luna is going out with my mom, Sam... –She said that even though she was very nervous about being in front of her father, speaking in a low voice when she thought that he was angry about the intrusion into her house–
Lincoln: Sam... Woow... -He said it surprised that he could also have an affair with the girl that Luna liked, seriously this world was very crazy and strange, after his surprise passed he turned his gaze to Edie – ...and you are my daughter?
Edie: ... –Edie remained silent upon hearing Lincoln's question, she was not Lincoln's daughter, but this Lincoln did not seem to know it and surely a lie would not hurt– ... Yes, I am your daughter... My Mom is Luna and Sam... Lisa helped my mothers have me with their genes

Edie said that completely lying, her mothers were Luna and Sam, but Lincoln was not her father, he had no responsibility towards her, but now Lincoln thought that she was his daughter and that he should be a good father to her.
Although her cousins did know that Lincoln was not her father, she had to convince them not to say anything, plus Rochelle was nearby coming out of the dining room, listening to what Edie said, causing their eyes to meet and Rochelle to stay still watching her.
Edie: I and Lyna would like to get to know you better.
Edie said that, returning her gaze to Lincoln, Rochelle did not worry since he would surely be able to convince her as well as her cousins, she was not doing something bad or committing a crime, she simply wanted to have a father like they had, it was too much to ask for her. Keep the secret and let him be part of your family.
