Chapter 15: Cooking and Gaming

Five days later, at Royal Woods General Hospital...

[Rita, Lori, and Bobby sat patiently in the waiting room as other patients gave the trio looks. Some were sad while others showed signs of anger, disgust, or both. Lori could've sworn that she heard one of the women call her a slut, but decided not to say anything that would force them to find another hospital out of town.]

[After nearly ten minutes, a nurse came into the waiting room.]

Nurse: "Miss Loud?"

Rita: "Oh! That's us!"

[After Lori had her weight and blood pressure checked, she, Bobby, and Rita followed the nurse into their room. Lori laid on the bed as Bobby and Rita sat in the chairs on each side of it. Bobby held one of Lori's hands while Rita held the other.]

Lori: "Boo-Boo Bear, I am literally nervous. I mean, I can't believe I went for four months without a checkup."

Bobby: "It'll be alright, babe. I'm right by your side..."

[Bobby gave his girlfriend a kiss on her forehead before turning to look at Rita.]

Bobby: "Right, Mrs. Loud?"

[Rita stroked her daughter's forehead in a soothing way.]

Rita: "Yes, honey. I've known Dr. Crawley for years. In fact, she was the one who helped me deliver all of you. Everything will be fine...I promise."

[Lori just sighed. About eight minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and a female doctor who looked to be around fifty years old came in with an ultrasound machine in tow. Rita immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile.]

Crawley: "Hello, Rita, It's been quite a long time. How have things been for your family?"

Rita: "Well...a little complicated at the moment. You remember my first daughter, Lori, don't you?"

Crawley: "How could I not?"

[Crawley looked down at the pregnant teenager and smiled warmly.]

Crawley: "Last time I saw you, you were no bigger than a baby doll."

[Lori smiled back when the doctor finished her sentence.]

Lori: "Thanks, Dr. Crawley. My mother told me you helped deliver us."

[Crawley chuckled.]

Crawley: "Indeed, I did."

[Dr. Crawley then turned to the hispanic boy right next to Lori.]

Crawley: "And you must be the father, correct?"

[Crawley kindly extended her hand to Bobby and he shook it.]

Bobby: "Yeah. I'm Bobby Santiago, Lori's boyfriend."

Crawley: "I must say...It's really nice to meet you, Mr. Santiago. I'm Dr. Elaine Crawley and as Rita probably told you, I helped bring her children into this world."

Bobby: "And I don't suppose you're gonna be bringing in mine as well?"

[Crawley chuckled and pulled a bottle of gel out of her coat.]

Crawley: "You've guessed right."

[Crawley squeezed some gel onto her palm.]

Crawley: "Alright, Lori. This stuff's gonna be cold, but only for a few seconds."

[Lori yelped as she felt the cold gel being rubbed on her stomach.]

Lori: "A little warning next time!"

Bobby: "You'll be fine, Babe. Just be thankful you're not getting a blood test or anything."

[Lori gasped before glaring at Bobby.]

Lori: "Who told you that?!"

[Bobby looked around.]

Bobby: "Might wanna ask your mother."

[Lori looked at Rita, who seemed to be twiddling her thumbs nervously.]

Rita: "I had to coax Bobby out of the basement somehow."

[Lori returned her glare at Bobby.]

Lori: "You need to keep your mouth shut around my mother from now on!"

Crawley: "You're alright, sweetie. Now I'm gonna use this probe on you so we can all see the little one."

[Crawley moved the probe around Lori's stomach until an image flashed on the ultrasound machine. Everyone turned to face the monitor and were in awe by what they saw. There on the screen was the growing fetus inside of Lori. She was so happy that she felt like she wanted to touch the screen if only it was a little bit closer.]

Lori: "Oh, Boo-Boo Bear. That's our flesh and blood. That's our baby!"

Bobby: "It sure is, babe. Isn't it just neat?"

Lori: "Just neat? It's literally beautiful!"

Rita: "You know, I never seem to get tired of looking at those monitors... But at the same time, I don't even want to look away."

Crawley: "I know that, Rita. You and Lynn used to just stare at the monitors with every child you two had, and you couldn't stop until you were ready to leave. I guess this proves that old habits die hard."

[After a few more tests, Crawley came back with Lori's medical records.]

Rita: "So, how's Lori?"

Crawley: "Well, everything seems in order...no problems so far. By the way, would you like to know the baby's gender?"

[Bobby and Lori looked at each other and smiled.]

Meanwhile, outside the hospital...

[The other Loud siblings and Ronnie Anne waited impatiently in Vanzilla for Rita, Lori, and Bobby came out of the hospital. Lincoln was reading a comic book, Lucy wrote in her book of poems, Lynn threw a tennis ball against the back of Ronnie Anne's seat, and Lisa had been taking notes on how long they've been waiting.]

Luna: "I can't wait! I can't wait!"

Lincoln: "We're all eager to find out what the baby's gonna be, Luna."

Lana: "I hope it's a boy."

Lola: [scoffs] "Poppycock, Lana. I think it's gonna be a girl."

Lana: "Really? And what makes you say that?"

Lola: "Well, think of it this way... Most of us in the family were born girls, Right? So, why should this one be any exception?"

Leni: "Well, maybe we could, like...ask them?"

Lola: "Or, me and Lana can take a vote. Raise your hands if you wish the baby's a girl!"

[Leni, Luan, Lucy, and Lisa raise their hands in response.]

Lana: "Is there anyone who thinks the baby will be a boy?"

[Luna, Lynn, Lincoln, and Lily raise their hands like the others.]

Lana: "So, that's it then... We have a tie."

Lola: "Wait a minute! Ronnie Anne didn't even vote!"

[Lola pointed at Ronnie Anne, who just shot the pageant queen a deadpanned look.]

Ronnie Anne: "Look, I don't care if it's gonna be a boy or a girl... I just don't want any part in this childish game."

[Lola then pulled a $1 bill out of her dress and waved it in front of Ronnie Anne.]

Lola: "I'll give you this dollar if you vote for a girl!"

[Ronnie Anne just pushed the dollar out of her face. Lola was about to lose her temper when her twin stopped her.]

Lana: "How about this Lola... Five dollars says we're gonna have a nephew."

Lola: "Oh, you're on, you dirty birdie! But rest assured, my niece will be brought into this world before you know it."

[At that moment, Rita walked out of the hospital with Lori and Bobby following her. Lori held a photo of the ultrasound and couldn't stop staring at it. She even took a picture of it on her cell phone and saved it in her library. As soon as they got in, the twins jumped on their seats in anticipation.]

Lana: "Is it a boy or a girl?!"

Lola: "Yeah! We've been waiting here forever!"

Rita: "Now, calm down, girls! Bobby and Lori will tell you."

[Lori and Bobby both looked at each other.]

Lori: "Well...Bobby and I have been talking about it, and..."

[The kids waited in anticipation for their sister's answer.]

Lori: "We think that it's best that you all wait until the baby's born."

[All the kids groaned while their mother just looked left and right.]

Luna: "Bogus, you guys!"

Lola: "Yeah! We have to wait for five more months?"

Lily: "Poo-Poo!"

Lucy: "We could be walking corpses by then... Not that I'd mind."

Lori: "Come on, you guys! We just want you to be surprised, is all...isn't that right, Boo-Boo Bear?"

Bobby: "I agree."

[Bobby gave his girlfriend a kiss on the cheek.]

Lori: "In the meantime, would you guys like to see the ultrasound picture?"

[Everyone perked up upon hearing that.]

Lincoln: "Yes, please!"

Luan: "I like the ultra-sound of that!"

[Luan laughed while the others replied with the usual groan.]

Lola: "Oh well... Anything's better than nothing, I suppose."

[With that, Lori showed everyone the photo and they were all in awe when they saw it.]

Lori: "This is our little bumblebee right here."

Leni: "Wait... I thought you guys were having a baby."

Bobby: "We are, Leni. That was just a nickname we decided to give to him."

Lori: "Or her."

Bobby: "Right."

Lucy: "Look at this baby... Cramped up in a tight space for months, longing to see the light at the end of the tunnel."

Lola: "I wanna see that photo!"

Lana: "No! I wanna see it!"

[The twins were pushing each other to grab the picture before Lisa stopped them.]

Lisa: "Since you two are acting like your usual animalistic selves, I believe I shall be the one to look at our still growing nephew slash niece."

[Lisa adjusted her glasses and looked at the photo in astonishment.]

Lisa: "That is a very fine looking specimen."

[Almost everyone looked at Lisa wearing quizzical looks while Lori glared at her second youngest sibling.]

Lori: "You're not gonna do any experiments on my baby, are you?"

[Lisa squinted her eyes and looked left and right.]

Lisa: "Nooooooooo?"

Luan: "Just don't stare at it for too long, Lis, or you might get dia-fetus!"

[Once again, Luan laughed while everyone else groaned in response. Rita then started the engine and drove in the direction of their house.]

[On the way there, however, Vanzilla broke down.]

Lori: "Dang it! Why does this shit keep happening to us?!"

Rita: "Language, Lori! There are children riding with us!"

[Lori sighed.]

Lori: "Sorry, Mom."

Rita: "Alright, kids, you all know what to do. Bobby, Ronnie Anne, could you help us push? We could use some extra muscle."

[The Loud kids groaned and started getting out of the van to push along with Bobby and Ronnie Anne. However, Lori was stopped by her mother before she could get out and help.]

Rita: "Ah ah ah- Wait a minute, Lori! I don't think you should push. Dr. Crawley says you shouldn't do anything that'll put strain on the baby. I'll help the others while you and Lily remain seated."

[Lori didn't know whether to feel relieved, or left out. Either way, she rolled her eyes while her mother got out and joined the kids.]

Rita: "Alright, everyone! On three! One... Two... Three... Push!"

[With that, the Loud family, Bobby and Ronnie Anne pushed with all their might, but Lola stood on top of the van and waved to no one in particular.]

Luna: "Jesus, this is hard work! Makes me wonder why Dad didn't just keep Veronica as a back-up."

Leni: "Lola? Could you please come down here and give us a hand?"

Lola: "No can do, Leni. I'm saving this hand for my audience."

[As if on cue, Lori pounded on the roof, the vibration causing Lola to fall on her butt.]

Lori: "GET OFF THE FUCKING VAN, LOLA! NOW!"

[The sound of Lori's yelling caused Lily to cry in her seat.]

Lola: "Okay, okay! Don't be such a meanie."

[With that, Lola got off the roof and joined her family in pushing the van.]

Rita: "Do you need me to help calm Lily down?!"

Lori: "No thanks, Mom! I got this!"

[Lori was holding Lily, doing her best to calm her down.]

Ronnie Anne: "Jesus, Lincoln! How are you guys able to tolerate Lori's mood swings?"

Lincoln: "We've seen our mom go through this from time to time, so we're used to it."

Lisa: "Speak for yourself, big brother. The last time I looked at the calendar, our parental units are having another romantic rendezvous tonight, street name, date night, and our eldest sister is gonna be in charge of us all, as per usual. Combine that with the cravings and mood swings, and things are gonna get even harder for all of us."

[Lincoln just sighed.]

That night at the Loud House...

[Lynn Sr. and Rita went off on their date night, leaving Lori (and by extension Bobby) in charge of everyone while they were away. Lori donned her military attire and lined up her siblings and pets, as well as Ronnie Anne, who stood between Lincoln and Lynn. Bobby stood right next to Lori wearing his mall cop uniform (which his former boss let him keep as a souvenir).]

Lori: "Alright! As most of you already know, I'm in charge around here as long as mom and dad are out! For those of you visiting, my parents left me in charge of everyone in this house, so you better obey my rules!"

Ronnie Anne: "Or what?! You'll lock us up in the basement? [laughs] You can't tell me what to do! You're not my mother!"

[Lori eyed her boyfriend as he walked over to Ronnie Anne.]

Bobby: "Yeah, I think you better do as Lori says."

Ronnie Anne: "Dang It..."

[With that Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes before backing up.]

Lori: "That was amazing, Boo-Boo Bear."

[Bobby just smiled. Lori then left the room and came back with a chart of the schedule.]

Lori: "Here's what's on the agenda for tonight: First, you will stay in your rooms with arms folded until 7:30. Next, you be joining me in the dining room for dinner. Then, you will clean up the dining room and I don't want anyone leaving until eight o'clock. Finally, you will march back to your rooms and stare at the wall until you get tired...Understood?!"

Lynn: [scoffs] "It's the same as every other agenda."

[Lori angrily pointed her stick at the athletic girl.]

Lori: "Did I ask for a lecture?! Only I get to do that!"

Lynn: [gulps] "No, ma'am."

Lori: "Good... NOW UP TO YOUR ROOMS!"

[With that, Lori's younger siblings and Ronnie Anne ran up to their rooms with the pets running into Lana and Lola's room.]

Luna: "Just roll with it, Ronnie Anne."

[As soon as everyone shut their doors, Lori turned to face Bobby.]

Lori: "Alright, Bobby. I'm going to start dinner. You guard this hallway and make sure no one tries sneaking out of their rooms...is that clear?"

Bobby: "With all due respect, babe...is all this really necessary? I mean, couldn't you be a little more...I don't know? Gentler with your siblings?"

Lori: "Look, I have to take drastic precautions in light of the 'Sibling Uprising of 2016'. Now, do we have a problem or not?"

Bobby: "No, babe... I mean, Ma'am..."

Lori: "Then, you will guard this area with your life."

Bobby: "Yes, Sir! I mean, Ma'am! Yes, MA'AM!...Sir."

[Lori nodded and started descending down the stairs. She wiped her forehead as she was halfway down.]

Lori: "God, it's so hot in these clothes."

[As soon as she reached the bottom, she turned right into her parents' bedroom.]

[Around 7:15, Bobby was patrolling the hall when he heard Lincoln's bedroom door crack open.]

Bobby: "Hold it right there! No getting out of your room unless you need to use the bathroom!"

[Bobby looked down and saw Ronnie Anne giving her brother a disapproving look.]

Bobby: "Sorry, Nie-Nie. Lori has ordered me to guard this hallway until dinner."

Ronnie Anne: "Uh-huh. We get it."

[Ronnie Anne turned to Lincoln, who was just sitting on his bed.]

Ronnie Anne: "Does Lori always do this when your parents are away?"

Lincoln: "Well, it's not all that bad. Just give her some time, and you'll see that she's not too bad of a babysitter."

[Ronnie Anne sighed.]

Ronnie Anne: "I'm gonna hold you to that, Lame-O. But, don't expect going to school with any underwear if your wrong."

[Bobby then shut the door and continued his patrol. Just then, he smelled something familiar coming from downstairs.]

Bobby: [thinking] That smells like Mami's home cooking. [sigh] I miss those days. But I have to watch this hall until dinner or Lori might turn me into a human pretzel or something.

[Bobby took a look around and sighed.]

Bobby: "I suppose a little peek couldn't hurt."

[With that, Bobby headed down the stairs and kept on walking until he reached the dining room. He looked around the corner to the kitchen and his eyes went wide at the most mesmerizing sight he ever saw in his life.]

[There was Lori at the stove, wearing nothing but her father's pink apron and stirring whatever was in the pot in front of her whilst tasting it's contents.]

Bobby: [thinking] Ay dios Mio! She's wearing nothing underneath! Well, what are you waiting for? Go for it! Give her the element of surprise! NO! You should just get your own ass back upstairs before one of the kids try to leave their rooms!

[At that very moment, Lori took another taste of what was in the pot.]

Lori: "I think it needs more seasoning."

[Bobby got back behind the corner before Lori could notice him. After about five seconds, Bobby looked again and saw Lori bent down at the bottom of the fridge, her round butt moving left and right as she searched around. As Bobby kept staring, he could feel a certain something trying to break free of his pants.]

Bobby: [thinking] AH, screw this! She's just too damn irresistible!

[With that, Bobby slid down to the floor and got down on all fours, crawling like a wolf stalking its prey until he was just a few inches from Lori. At that moment, Lori groaned as she felt her stomach begin to rumble and clenched it.]

Lori: "Oh, God!"

[Bobby was still staring at his girlfriend's butt, until he was met with a green gas cloud to his face as the blonde let one loose like a startled skunk. Bobby coughed as he lost his breath and fell backwards to the floor. In shock, Lori accidentally bumped her head on the shelf above her before turning around fast and looking down at her unconscious boyfriend.]

Lori: "Oh my god! Are you okay, Bobby Boo-Boo Bear?"

[Bobby slowly opened his eyes, groaning as he looked up at the blonde woman.]

Bobby: "I just saw my life flash before my eyes."

Lori: "That was just the fridge hinges! They need to be- Ugh, who am I kidding?! You've already caught wind of it... Literally."

[Bobby simply got up and stretched his back.]

Bobby: "It's...alright, Babe. I guess it serves me right for leaving my post."

Lori: "No need to apologize, sweetheart. I probably shouldn't have gotten carried away with those refried beans."

[Lori placed her hand on her baby bump and sighed.]

Lori: "Having a baby is literally both a blessing and a curse."

Bobby: "And I'm the one paying the price... Still, it wasn't your fault, babe..."

[Lori gave off a sarcastic laugh.]

Lori: "Look, why don't you go wash your face while I finish making dinner... And crack open the window while you're at it...wouldn't want the stench going into the dining room now, would we?"

[Bobby nodded and walked over to the sink, opening the window and washing his face. All the while Lori continued cooking for about a minute until she glanced at her boyfriend.]

Lori: "So, Bobby... What were you doing downstairs when you should be watching over the bedrooms?"

Bobby: "I smelled the familiar scent of my childhood and just couldn't help myself... Besides, I didn't think you knew how could cook... Usually, you'd order pizza, and I'd gladly bring over it to you guys."

Lori: "Well, I didn't learn to cook from your mother for nothing. I'm gonna give everyone in this house a feast they'll remember for years to come."

[Bobby thought back to that moment at his old house months ago when Lori was cooking with Lydia.]

Bobby: "So, I guess that makes me obsolete?"

Lori: "Not exactly, Bobby. You still have a lot of other customers to deliver to."

Bobby: "I know that...but don't forget, you are my number one customer."

[Lori turned her head away and blushed.]

Lori: "Aw, Boo-Boo Bear. It's so sweet hearing it from you."

[Bobby rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.]

Bobby: "Thanks, babe. I know I'm not much of a poet, but I try."

[Just then, Bobby heard a sniffle come from his girlfriend.]

Bobby: "Babe? Is something the matter?"

[Lori spoke without turning her head.]

Lori: "I don't want to do this."

Bobby: "Come again?"

[Lori glanced at Bobby with tears leaking from her eyes.]

Lori: "I don't want my siblings to feel like I'm some controlling manipulative bitch who literally keeps them locked up in their rooms while their parents are away. But, I have responsibilities and they're not very easy for me to deal with. I mean, what If I don't become the mother our child would want? What if our child grows up hating me?"

[Bobby walked over to Lori and put his hands on her shoulders.]

Bobby: "You'll do fine, Babe...I know you will. I know you're not exactly Mother Teresa- Hell, I'm no Mr. Perfect myself. But, no matter where we come from, we're in this together."

[Bobby looked directly into Lori's teary eyes, trying his best not to gawk at her cleavage.]

Lori: "But, what am I supposed to do?"

Bobby: "Maybe you could try being a little less...direct with our siblings?"

[Lori sighed.]

Lori: "I don't know, Bobby. I guess I could. But what if they take advantage of that and wreck the house?"

[Bobby put his hand on Lori's cheek, wiping a tear off of it.]

Bobby: "It's never too late to start, Babe. Besides, I'll be right there to help you. I promise."

[Lori blushed and closed her eyes before she felt her lips touch Bobby's. The two teens then made out for about fifteen seconds before Bobby moved his hand towards Lori's thighs, making her push her boyfriend back.]

Lori: "Wait! Remember what my parents told us about taking it slow?"

[Bobby thought for a moment before smirking.]

Bobby: "Well, they're not home yet, are they?"

[Lori thought for a moment and shook her head. Almost instantly, she quickly wrapped her arms around Bobby's neck and reconnected her lips with his. Bobby in turn wrapped his arms around the back of Lori's waist and they both made out for another thirty seconds before subsiding.]

Bobby: "You're a naughty girl, aren't you?"

[Bobby made a tiger's growl before Lori put her index finger on his lips.]

Lori: "You're one to talk, Roberto. Seeing as you're the one who abandoned his post upstairs...and I think you were taking a little peek at my butt as well. I think I'm gonna need to teach you a lesson in...discipline."

[Lori's arms were fixed around the back of Bobby's neck before both teens coupled their lips together and battled their tongues for a full minute before subsiding again.]

Bobby: "I've been a bad boy, haven't I?"

Lori: "Yes...you have been."

[Lori and Bobby went back to making out, feeling each other all over. As Lori started moving her hand onto the belt buckle of Bobby's pants, Bobby moved his hands behind Lori and grabbed both of her buttcheeks, causing her to moan in ecstacy. As he kept fondling, Lori undid the belt and Bobby's pants dropped to the floor in a second. Lori then stopped kissing before turning her attention towards the bulge in her boyfriend's underwear and started rubbing it with two fingers.]

Lori: "You know, Bobby, taking care of 13 people while my parents are away can literally be stressful. Sometimes, I just need to find a way to relieve that stress."

Bobby: "And I don't suppose I'm the answer?"

[Lori then dug into Bobby's boxers and grasped the stiff member in her hand before leaning towards his face again.]

Lori: "Literally."

[Lori reconnected her lips with Bobby's yet again as she stroked his penis up and down. The more they made out, the faster Lori was working it. After about a minute, Bobby moaned in Lori's mouth as he achieved his orgasm. Lori pulled her hand out of Bobby's underpants and saw that it was covered with her boyfriend's semen.]

Bobby: "Sorry about that, Babe... I guess I came a little too early."

Lori: "In the kitchen or-"

Bobby: "Both... I guess."

Lori: "It's alright, Bobby. Maybe next time, you'll be a little more patient."

[Lori reached behind her back and tried to untie the aprons bow, but couldn't seem to reach it.]

Lori: "Are you ready for your appetizer, Bobby?"

Bobby: "Oh, si bueno."

[Bobby reached behind his girlfriend, untied the bow, and the apron fell to the floor, giving Bobby a full view of his girlfriend's breasts, which have gotten noticeably bigger during her second trimester.]

Lori: "Okay then... Allow me to serve you."

[With that, Lori sat on the kiddie table and laid on her back, spreading her legs to the latino as he lowered his boxers before getting on one knee. His large penis was erect again as he looked down at the blonde beauty before him.]

Lori: "I'm ready, Boo-Boo Bear."

[With that, Bobby nodded before grabbing Lori's hips and slowly inserting himself into her. Then he began thrusting as Lori had her hands behind her head, moaning all the way.]

Lori: "Oh, Bobby!"

Bobby: "Yeah! You like that, don't you?!"

Lori: "I know my parents said we shouldn't do this in the house, but my God, do I literally miss it!"

Bobby: "So do I, Babe!"

[Lori wrapped her legs around Bobby as he started to thrust at a faster pace, making the table move back and forth. This went on for three more minutes until the two teenagers were at their breaking point.]

Bobby: "Lori, I think I need to pull out, because I'm about to-"

[Before Bobby could finish, he and Lori let out one loud moan as the timer on the stove went off before both teens started breathing heavily. Bobby slowly pulled out before resting on the kiddie table by Lori's side...much to her concern.]

Lori: "Bobby...I don't know if this table can withstand the weight of a-"

[As if on cue, the kiddie table collapsed under their weight and both teens fell to the floor. Bobby and Lori looked at each other in awkward silence before the Latino got back up and helped his girlfriend back on her feet.]

Lori: "Bobby, get dressed, get my clothes, and go get the others. Tell them that dinner's almost ready."

[Lori turned around and looked down at the broken kiddie table before turning back to Bobby, who was still in a trance.]

Lori: "Also, you might want to tell Lucy, Lisa, Lily, and the twins that they're gonna have to eat in the dining room... Because the kiddie table's literally out of commission."

[It took Bobby a few more seconds before he finally snapped out of his daze.]

Bobby: "Oh! Right away, Babe!"

[As soon as Bobby put his clothes back on, he went to get Lori's clothes and inform the others, while Lori made final preparations to the feast. After getting Lori's military outfit from the parents' room and giving them to Lori, he ran up the stairs and stopped in the middle of the hall before blowing a whistle. Everyone peeked out of their rooms and looked at Bobby.]

Bobby: "Lori wanted me to inform you that it's nearly chow time! So, are you ready to fill up your appetites?"

[Everyone agreed and followed Bobby into the dining room. However, the latino stopped the kids as soon as they were at the bottom of the stairs.]

Bobby: "Also, there's been a little accident at the kiddie table, so Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily are gonna be eating with us in the dining room."

[Lincoln's younger sisters looked amongst each other, but said nothing and joined the others in the dining room.]

[As soon as everyone was seated, Lori emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate of taquitos and a bowl of salsa for dipping.]

Lori: "Okay, everybody! Here are the appetizers!"

[She sat the plate and bowl at the middle of the table and gave each of her siblings, Bobby and Ronnie Anne a taquito using a pair of tongs. Then, she poured a spoonful of salsa on each plate.]

Lori: "Let's hope these things hold you over until the main course."

[Just then, Lori noticed Lily about to pick up her taquito and rushed over to her.]

Lori: "NO! DON'T TOUCH THAT!"

[Lily's face crumbled before she let out a wail. Lori sighed and picked up the baby before gently rocking her.]

Lori: "Sorry about that, Lily. But your taquito is still too hot, and we would want you to burn your little hands or tongue, would we?"

[Lily let out a hiccup and nodded before Lori set her back down on the highchair. Lori then walked back into the kitchen to prepare the main course.]

Lola: "Hey! Lori didn't get a taquito!"

Bobby: "No worries, guys! She's already had one."

[Everyone turned to stare at Bobby with weird looks.]

Bobby: "Hey! Don't look at me! Her cravings just got the better of her again!"

[Ronnie Anne groaned and slapped her hand on her face.]

Ronnie Anne: "Could you please stop talking, Bobby? This is getting awkward."

Lori: "Boo-Boo Bear! Could you come help me serve the main course?"

Bobby: "Coming, Babe!"

[With that, Bobby got up off his chair and went into the kitchen. Shortly after, He and Lori walked out with the feast, consisting of tacos, enchiladas, rice, etc.. She then put the dishes in the middle of the table and sat down at her chair.]

Lori: "It pays to have waitressing experience."

[Bobby sat right down next to her.]

Bobby: "Same here, Babe."

[With that, Bobby kissed his girlfriend's cheek, causing everyone to groan in response.]

Leni: "There's, like, kids in this room."

[When everyone had finished the main course, Lori picked up her glass of lemon-lime soda and stood up.]

Lori: "Alright, everyone! I want to thank you all for being so cooperative with me during these past four months. I know it's not easy having to live with someone who's expecting a baby, but we've all been through that ten times before in this family, am I right?"

[Lori chuckled while her siblings and Ronnie Anne gave her deadpanned looks. Lola also let out a cough. Lori looked around the room and sighed.]

Lori: "To be honest, I haven't been easy to live with before I became pregnant. I know I can get a little strict with my position as the oldest child, and that's something I need to work on, but please remember, that I've been doing all I can to make sure that you're well cared for while Mom and Dad are away. I love you all just the same as Bobby and the baby, and nothing's ever going to change that."

[Lori put her hand on her belly whilst Bobby leaned against it, putting his hand on hers. Everyone else smiled as they watched the scene before them.]

Luan: "Don't worry, you guys! You're gonna have enchilada help from us!"

[Everyone groaned as Luan chuckled before looking around.]

Luan: "Too soon?"

[Lori cleared her throat and continued her speech.]

Lori: "So anyway, there's gonna be a few changes to our schedule. So as soon as we've had dessert, you'll be sent back to your rooms, but you'll be allowed to do the things you usually do. Just be sure to clean up before Mom and Dad get back home."

[The others agreed this new change to the system. Lori and Bobby raised their then glasses.]

Lori: "And now, a toast...to our little bumblebee!"

[With that, everyone else raised their glasses and repeated the last four words that Lori had said before gulping down their soda. Lily simply raised her sippy cup and joined her siblings in the toast.]

Lily: "Bumbabee! Bumbabee!"

[After dessert, everyone went back to their rooms while Bobby remained downstairs. As he sat on the couch, he began to feel bored.]

Bobby: [thinking] I kinda feel sorry for Lincoln and his sisters for being cooped up in their rooms for so long. But at the same time, I can see how hard it is to watch over 10 little siblings. I guess I should be lucky that I only have one. I just hope Lori will keep my advice and go easy on everyone.

[In Lori and Leni's room, Lori was sitting at the mirror fixing her makeup when she heard electronic noises coming from downstairs.]

Lori: "What the hell? Is Lincoln playing video games down there?!"

Leni: "I don't know, Lori. I thought he was still in his room with Ronnie Anne."

Lori: "Well, maybe they snuck out while Bobby wasn't looking. You know what?... I'm gonna give them both a piece of my mind right now!"

[Leni got off her bed and stood in front of Lori, grabbing her shoulders.]

Leni: "Please, go easy on Ronnie Anne, will you? I mean, have you forgotten what your told us at the dinner table?"

[Lori took a deep breath and exhaled.]

Lori: "No, Leni... I didn't forget. It's just hard to adjust to this new change. I'm just gonna calmly tell them not to sneak out again or they'll be in trouble."

[With that, Lori walked out of the room and went down the stairs until she was in the living room. However, her suspicions were proven wrong when she saw Bobby playing Total Turbo XXII on Lincoln's gaming console. Bobby jumped and paused the game when he saw Lori staring him down.]

Bobby: "Lori! What are you doing down here?"

Lori: "I just thought Lincoln had snuck out of his room to play video games with Ronnie Anne...guess not. What are you doing on Lincoln's gaming console, anyway?"

Bobby: "Well, I was feeling kinda bored, so I thought I'd do some racing to kill time until your parents got back. I'd usually play with Lincoln, but I know that he can't really come down at the moment."

[Lori turned around and was about to head back upstairs, but turned to glance at her boyfriend as soon as she hit the first step.]

Lori: "You know Bobby, it's a real shame to play by yourself. Why don't I join in?"

[Bobby paused the game again and turned to look at Lori.]

Bobby: "Really? I didn't think you were into this sort of thing."

Lori: "Come on, Boo-Boo Bear. I've played my fair share of games with Lincoln before. In fact, I've beat him in almost every game he's ever played! Trust me...It'll be much more fun playing together."

[With that, Lori sat on one of the arms of the couch and giggled. Bobby pondered for a moment before showing his girlfriend a smile.]

Bobby: "Well...yeah. I'd like that."

Lori: "Yay!"

Bobby: "But...can you really do it in your...condition?"

Lori: "Oh, please...just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm incapable of driving...besides, it's just a video game. Tell you what, Roberto...why don't we do something to make the game a little more...interesting."

[Bobby listened carefully while raising an eyebrow.]

Lori: "Whoever loses a round has to take off a piece of their clothes. Sound like a fair deal, Bobby?"

[Bobby seemed to be shocked at first, but that changed into a confident smirk.]

Bobby: "Oh, you've got yourself a bet, Senorita Lori!"

[Almost immediately, Lori picked up the second controller and sat next to Bobby on the couch before they both picked their vehicles. Bobby's virtual model drove a green pizza van, while Lori's drove a baby blue convertible. As soon as the first race started, Lori side swiped Bobby's van, and it crashed into a rock. His virtual model jumped out and got on the ground just before the van exploded.]

Lori: "Well, Bobby. I guess you know what that means, don't you?"

[Bobby shrugged and took off his shoes, as Lori gave him a disapproving gaze.]

Lori: "Literally, Bobby?"

Bobby: "Well... Shoes are considered clothing too...right? Besides, I'm just getting warmed up."

[Lori rolled her eyes as she and Bobby started up round 2. Just as Lori overtook Bobby, she crashed into an oncoming truck in the opposite lane. Lori's virtual model quickly jumped out of the car right before it burst into flames.]

Bobby: "What did I tell ya, babe? Guess I'm not such a loser after all."

[Lori sighed and took off her earrings before giving them to Bobby, who gave her a quizzical look.]

Lori: "What? You said shoes are considered clothing, so shouldn't the same rule apply for earrings as well?"

Bobby: "Touche, Madame."

[For the next ten minutes, Bobby and Lori kept on playing. On round 3, Bobby lost after his van landed on it's side from driving on a billboard, so he took off his green jacket and dropped it to the floor. On round 4, Lori lost control of her car, and drove off a bridge into the sea, her virtual model popped out and waved her arms before sinking. Lori took off her sweater and put it on the floor in front of her, leaving her breasts partially visible. On round 5, Bobby found that he couldn't concentrate and drove his van into a telephone pole. He took off his shirt, revealing his slightly muscular physique. When round 6 began, Lori couldn't concentrate either and crashed into a nearby building. She stood up and took off her shorts, leaving her embarrassed and completely in her underwear.]

Lori: "Bobby, don't you think we should stop? This is literally getting out of hand."

Bobby: "Yeah, you're right. We should stop...right after I beat you at round 7!"

[Lori simply nudged her boyfriend's arm and laughed.]

Lori: "You sneaky bastard!"

[Despite what Bobby had said, Lori won round 7 after she side-swiped Bobby's van, causing it to spin out. Lori gave Bobby a smirk as he took off his pants, leaving him in nothing but his boxers.]

Lori: "What was that you said about beating me, Boo-Boo Bear?"

[Bobby bit his lower lip.]

Bobby: "Okay, so maybe what I said was a little premature."

[Lori then noticed the bulge rising in Bobby's underpants and smirked as she pointed at it.]

Lori: "Don't feel too bad, Bobby. You gave a valiant, and that's all that matters to me."

[Bobby blushed before sitting back down and starting up round 8 with Lori. Lori took the lead before she crashed into a tunnel entrance while overtaking a Sunday driver. Lori groaned and took off her bra before throwing it at the TV. Bobby stared at Lori's exposed breasts for about five seconds before shaking his head and starting up round 9. Bobby lost after his van was knocked off the road and into a cornfield. Bobby stood up and dropped his boxers as Lori stared at his tight butt with a smirk.]

Bobby: "I think I'm noticing a pattern here."

[Lori giggled before giving her boyfriend's butt a playful slap.]

Lori: "You don't say?"

[Bobby rubbed his left butt cheek before sitting back down on the couch next to Lori. Round 10 simply ended with Bobby's van racing through the finish line. Lori gave off an embarrassed look as she slowly took off her panties while Bobby watched with wide eyes. Now both teens were completely in the nude.]

Bobby: "Okay... I guess this means we're totally even now?"

[Bobby let out a nervous chuckle as Lori smirked.]

Lori: "Well... How about we crank it up to eleven?"

[Bobby's eyes widened again.]

Bobby: "Oh, you don't mean what I think you mean, do you?"

Lori: "Oh yes... Literally."

[Just like that, Lori started round 11. She and Bobby drove their vehicles, dodging everything in their path until both of them crossed the finish line in a tie.]

Bobby: "I guess this proves we're both evenly matched, huh Babe?... Babe?"

[Bobby turned and saw that Lori had dropped her controller to the floor and was crawling over to him on all fours.]

Lori: "You think so, huh? Well, how about we go for a little test drive? Just you and me?"

Bobby: "Just be careful, okay? We have a baby on board."

Lori: "Hmmm... Sounds like someone's a little overprotective. Don't worry, Bobby. I'll make sure to drive safely."

[She placed both hands on Bobby's face and planted her lips on his. Bobby closed his eyes and placed both of his hands on Lori's back before slowly moving them down to her butt cheeks and giving them a squeeze, making Lori moan in her boyfriend's mouth.]

Bobby: [muffled] "Ay mierda, babe! You are just so amazing at this game!"

[Just then, they broke free from their kiss and stared at each other for a few seconds.]

Lori: "You're not so bad yourself, Boo-Boo Bear."

[Lori then grabbed both of her breasts and squeezed them together in front of Bobby, who was staring at the two cream puffs wide-eyed.]

Lori: "Go on, Bobby... You know you miss these."

[Without a second thought, Bobby put his hands on his girlfriend's boobs and gave them a squeeze that made her moan a second time. Bobby then planted his face right between them and vibrated like a motorboat for ten seconds before licking from Lori's chest to her neck. Lori let a few more moans and wrapped her arms around Bobby as he sucked on Lori's neck like a vampire without fangs.]

Lori: "Oh, Bobby! Don't you dare stop for one fucking second!"

[After twenty seconds of feeling her lover's tongue on her jugular, Lori yelped as she felt a bite and pushed Bobby off of her before rubbing her sore neck.]

Bobby: "Oh my god! Lori, I'm so sorry- I'm so, very sorry! Are you alright?"

[Lori didn't say anything and quickly coupled her lips with Bobby's again. Bobby gladly accepted this and placed his hands on her hips before they lowered themselves on the couch. Lori wrapped her legs around Bobby's waist at the two teens kept feeling each other's skin.]

Bobby: "You know, Lori... I sometimes wonder if our child would be a master at these video games?"

Lori: "Maybe... But there's still the matter of school and exercise and all that."

[Bobby chuckled.]

Bobby: "You got a point there, Babe. I mean, we want the best for our little bumblebee, right? Still...have you ever heard the saying 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'?"

[Lori simply giggled and gave her boyfriend a poke on the nose.]

Lori: "That's true, Bobby Boo-Boo Bear."

[Just then, they heard Lori's cell phone ringing in her shorts, prompting them both to stop what they were doing.]

Lori: "Maybe that was for the best."

[Lori got off of Bobby, dug the phone out of the left pocket and checked the caller ID before answering it.]

Lori: "Oh, hi Mom!... I see... Don't worry! Everything's fine... The kids are doing well... Alright, I'll go tell them."

[With that, Lori hung up her phone and shook her boyfriend out of his daze.]

Lori: "We have to get dressed, Bobby! My parents are gonna be home in about three minutes!"

Bobby: "Hmm? Oh right!"

[With that, the two teens picked up their clothes and got dressed again. After that, Bobby started fixing the couch while Lori went upstairs to check on her siblings. As soon as she reached the second floor, she blew her whistle bringing everyone out of their rooms.]

Lori: "Mom and Dad are gonna be home in two minutes! Everyone clean your rooms and get ready for bed!"

[Everyone immediately went back into their rooms while Lori turned around and starting walking back downstairs. As soon as she did, she and Bobby could see flashing lights outside.]

Lori: "Oh shit! Mom and Dad are back! Get into position, now!"

[Lynn Sr. and Rita walked into the house and saw their daughter and Bobby, with the remote in his hand, leaning against each other on the couch.]

Lynn Sr.: "Hey, you guys! Did you have fun?"

Lori: "Oh yes, we did. In fact, we were just about to watch a movie together."

Bobby: "Yeah."

Rita: "What about the others?"

Lori: "They're asleep."

Rita: "Well, I think you two look so cute together."

Lynn Sr.: "I agree...just as long as you kids weren't doing anything...crazy while we were gone."

Bobby: "Oh, no! Not at all, sir."

Rita: "Well, since you two did a great job watching over everyone, I guess you two can stay up longer if you want. But only until midnight."

Lori: "Thanks, Mom."

Bobby: "Yeah. Thanks, Mrs. Loud."

[Both Rita and Lynn Sr. said nothing else and went into their room. Bobby and Lori both heaved a sigh of relief and the latter laid against her boyfriend, who lovingly wrapped his arm around her.]

Bobby: "Babe?"

Lori: "Yes, Bobby?"

[Lori turned to glance at her boyfriend, and was met with a kiss on her forehead.]

Bobby: "Thank you for going easy on everybody. I think this is a good start for you."

[Lori blushed before leaning against Bobby again.]

Lori: "I couldn't have done this without you, Boo-Boo Bear. You are literally the best man a girl could ever ask for, and I love you."

Bobby: "I love you too, Lori."

Meanwhile at Flip's Food & Fuel...

[Flip was at the counter reading a magazine. It was late at night and Flip hardly had any customers at that time. Just then, he heard the bell ring and looked over the counter to see a large man with a full beard walking towards him. He wore a red baseball cap, a woodsman's coat, sunglasses, and a scowl on his face.]

Flip: "Welcome to Flip's! Home of the fabulous Flippy! So, what can I do for ya?"

[As soon as the man was at the counter, he put some money on it before speaking to Flip in a thick hispanic accent.]

Man: "You can start by giving me some grub and a pack of cigarettes...and make it quick! I haven't got all fuckin' day!"

Flip: "Woah woah woah! Hold your horses, mister! I'm not a magician. Besides, you can pretty much get those things yourself... I just collect the money."

[Flip chuckled as he rubbed his thumb and index finger together, while the bigger man let out a scoff.]

Man: "Whatever."

[The man then walked over to the hot dog machine and placed a wiener in a bun.]

Flip: "What brand do you want?"

Man: "Do I look like a give a flying fuck?"

[Flip shrugged and picked out the first cigarette pack he saw before putting it on the counter, while the bigger man went over to the Flippy machine and filled his cup with lime flavor. The big man then walked back to the counter right next to Flip and started eating his hot dog.]

Flip: "So, what brings you to Royal Woods? Huh? You here on business or somethin'?"

[The man took a second bite out of his hot dog and chewed it around for a few seconds before swallowing.]

Man: "Not really... I came back here to get something that I've lost."

Flip: "Well, If you're lookin' for work, I do have a position for a janitor... It pays big."

[The man took a sip out of his Flippy cup before he spoke again.]

Man: "I didn't come here lookin' for work."

[The man took yet another bite of his hot dog before continuing.]

Man: "But if I had, I wouldn't work for you in this shithole."

Flip: "Hey, you- Okay, I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that and just cut to the chase. What are you looking for then, eh?"

Man: "It's none of your goddamn business, abuelo."

Flip: "Well, if it's none of my damn business, why bother tellin' me anyway? I don't know what you were before, but I think all that time on the road must've messed up your noggin."

[The man crushed his Flippy cup before throwing it at Flip, who managed to duck in the nick of time. The man then banged his fist on the counter, giving Flip a good jump.]

Man: "Don't test my patience, fatass! I'm not the kind of man whose patience can be tested!"

Flip: "Who are you callin' fatass, tough guy?! I'll have you know that I served in 'Nam while you were still spraying graffiti on your neighbor's house!"

[Enraged, the man reached over the counter and grabbed Flip by the collar of his shirt, before staring deeply into his eyes.]

Man: "I said it before and I'll say it again... Don't you dare test my fuckin' patience! Because if you do, I'll make damn sure that this shithole store burns to the ground...bit by bit...piece by piece!"

[Flip could feel the man's rancid breath hitting his face as he spoke.]

Flip: "No, no, no, no! Please! Alright! I wasn't really in combat! I only served food for the troops! Please, don't destroy my store! I've gotta make a livin' in this town!"

[The man dropped Flip before pointing down at the cowering store owner.]

Man: "Then you best shut your mouth, and don't say shit to the police, or I will change my mind faster than a fiery bull...comprende?

Flip: "Okay, okay! You have my word, mister...?"

[The man collected the cigarettes before turning around and heading towards the exit. He then stopped at the door and turned back to Flip, who was still shaking from behind the counter.]

Man: "Santiago... Alex Santiago. Remember my name!"

[And with that, Alex left the store while Flip looked over the counter for a brief moment to see if the big man was gone. He then hid back behind the counter and wiped his forehead.]

Flip: "Jesus... I don't know what that guy's problem is, but he's not welcome in my store again, that's for damn sure."

Back at the Loud House, around midnight...

[Bobby and Lori were sound asleep on the couch when they were woken up by the familiar cries of an infant coming from upstairs. Lori was about to tend to her youngest sister's needs when Bobby stopped her.]

Bobby: "I got this, Babe. You need your rest."

[With that, Bobby kissed his girlfriend's forehead before getting off the couch. He then walked up the stairs and into Lisa and Lily's room where he found the wailing baby standing in her crib while Lisa was sitting up in her bed shielding her ears from all the noise. She sighed as she noticed Bobby walk in.]

Lisa: "I was expecting Mother, Father, or Lori to come in and calm Lily down, but I guess I'll have to settle for my eldest sister's love interest and baby daddy."

[Bobby said nothing and walked over to Lily, picked her up, and rocked her while singing some kind of lullaby in Spanish. As Lisa watched, she couldn't tell what Bobby was saying, but it sounded so beautiful that it was enough to calm Lily down and lull her back to sleep. The young latino put the sleeping baby back in her crib and was about to leave when Lisa spoke up.]

Lisa: "I apologize for observing you unannounced, but what was that beautiful melody you were singing just now? I might have to translate it sometime in the near future."

Bobby: "It's just an old lullaby my mother used to sing to me and Ronnie Anne back home. Every night it helped us forget about the monster in our house before going to bed. Sometimes, I even sing it to Ronnie Anne on days when mom...wasn't feeling well. And when the time comes, I'll be singing it to my child as well."

[Lisa smiled warmly at the older boy.]

Lisa: "Well...from what you just told me and all that you went through in the past, I can see great potential in you, Roberto. You're gonna make a magnificent father...unlike that brutish maniac whose name I'd rather not mention, for your sake."

Bobby: "It's alright, Lisa. I appreciate the support."

Lisa: "You're quite welcome. Now, if only Lori were awake to hear your singing, she'd be put in a trance."

[After a few seconds of silence, Bobby started to walk out of the room.]

Bobby: "Well, sleep tight, girls. I'll see you in the morning."

Lisa: "Thank you for guiding my younger sibling back to Slumberland. I just hope that you and Lori can work your way through the hardships of parenting."

Bobby: "Don't worry about that, Lisa. I know parenting is hard, but trust me, I'm not gonna do what my father did to me and Nie-Nie for all those years."

Lisa: "That's good to hear, Bobby... Let's hope it stays that way."

[With that, Bobby headed out of the room and down the stairs. Unbeknownst to him, Luna had been watching through her bedroom doorway without being seen.]

Luna: [thinking] Woah, dude. He's almost as good at singing as I am. I think I need to put all this behind me soon.

[Luna looked down and sighed before quietly shutting her door and heading back to bed.]

Ellis97: The baby should be coming around the first quarter of 2018.

Puppygirl2806: Not much, but Alex is back in town.

Gamelover41592: Indeed he does. He's just only going to use it when he feels the time is right.

DarthWill3: Maybe we will, maybe we won't.

Jacksonangelo105: Thank you very much, as always.

SilviaGunner: I don't think Gena would give a crap weather Alex killed Lydia or not. She just likes to live dangerously.

Master Fan Reader: Maybe they will eventually, maybe they won't.

Guest: Thanks! I really appreciate that.
