This morning on the Loud House the Loud family parents is sitting on the living room watching a news about people receiving a some sort of package that has a baby on it at their door around Michigan.

"This is the the fifth time this week, who could have done something like this" Rita said.

"Who ever they are? they shouldn't give away a baby like a piece of candy on a Halloween Night" Lynn Sr. said.

"Leni, hurry up there, we are literally here for hours" the eldest sister Lori yelled downstair with her younger brother Lincoln holding present on his hand.

"Coming" as the second older sister Leni descends downward "Sorry for being late, Im just trying to find a nice dress to wear for the party."

"But, Leni that's pretty much the same dress you been wearing all the time" Lincoln said.

"Whatever, let's just get going" the three all walk through the door.

"Hey Mom, Dad we're going to Carol's party" Lori said to her parents.

"Okay dear, have fun you three, make sure you be here before the curfew and don't drink too much alcohol" Rita sternly said.

"We will" the three of them said as they exited the house and into the Lori's car, it was summer break and Lori returned home from college to spend her summer here, Carol that is also returning from college invited her to her birthday party at her home and decieded to bring Leni and Lincoln to the party too. After driving for a while they reaches Pingrey's house and exits the car, Lori rang the doorbell as they see an blond old man opening the door.

"Well hello there Louds" he greeted them as they greet back at back him "It's great that your here, come inside Carol is waiting in the backyard" they went inside as he guided them to the backyard.

"Lori it's good to see you again" Carol rushed to Lori and give her hug.

"Yeah, Good to see you too Carol" Lori returned the hug.

"Hey there Carol, happy birthday to you, it's been a long time we seen each other" Lincoln greeted her.

"Happy birthday too Carol, I totes miss you" Leni greeted her too.

"Thanks guys I appreciate it, I also misses you two" Carol hugged Leni and kneeled down to hugged Lincoln "Huh, What this?"

"Oh, it's a present for you it's from Lori and Leni" Lincoln said showing the present to her.

"Ah, that nice of you three, thanks you should put that on the table" Lincoln nodded as he puts it on the stack of presents on the table.

During the party the Louds, Carol's parent and her friends gather around Carol as they sing a happy birthday song and she blows the candles on her cake, after that they eat some food, Leni, Lori, Carol and her freinds talks about their college life, Lincoln offers to dance with Carol which she agrees and finally opening the presents she recieves. Lincoln feeling a bit hungry decided to get some on the table as he approuches the table he noticed something on the gift table, there was a large single present on the table, he find it stranges because he remember that all of the gift on the table was taken leaving it empty, he grabs the present on the table being suprise to how heavy it is and begins bringing it to Carol.

Carol opens her last present from Lori and Leni and receive a homemade purple dress from Leni and a golden heart earing from Lori "Wow, this looks amazing girls, I love them" she smiles at the gift.

"Thanks, I totes work on it, Linky give me that idea and help me make it." 

"Yeah he also helped me find the perfect gift for you, you should thank Lincoln for that" Lori said as Carol smile at the girls gift and the white-hair boy's help.

"Uhm... Carol I think you miss this one" Lincoln handed her the large present at her.

"Young man, where did you get that?" Carol's mother asked the albino boy.

"I just grabbed it to the gift table, I don't know how it just appear there" Lincoln shrugged.

"Well maybe it just a late present" Carol's father said as he grabs the present on Lincoln's hand "Woah, this one is heavy and there's no name on it, maybe it might be a gift of a secret admirer" her father grin at her.

"D-dad, you know I don't time for that!" Carol blushes at his comment "Grr... Let just open it to see what it is" she groan as she begins opening the present only to find a wrapped white cloth and a note on the box.

"What's on there anyway?" Carol asked as she unwrapped the cloth revealing a sleeping baby beneath it, everyone gasp on this as Carol picked the note that reads.

'Mother: Carol Pingrey Father: Lincoln Loud Gender: Female You can confirmed it by a DNA test' those words puts a chill on Carol's spine.

"Uhm... Lincoln, have you heard about something where people receive a baby on their doorstep" Carol asked in a shaky voice.

"Y-yeah... It was from tge news yesterday and the day after that, why?" Lincoln answered not liking where this is going.

"I think we just got one... and this baby... is our" Carol said causing everyone to be shocked at this revelation.

"You mean that Lincoln and Carol have a baby... that is totes great you two" Leni hugs her brother who is completely stunned at the news and she hugs Carol too who is beginning to hyperventilate.

"T-this can't be real, haha... T-this has to be a joke, right?... I AM NOT READY FOR THIS!" Carol said completely freaking out.

"So your telling that im a dad now... W-why me? im to young for this" Lincoln said in shaky voice.

"Calm down honey, who ever is responsible for this, they will pay for it" Carol's father trying to assured her daughter and then the baby wake up, Lincoln was the first to approach the baby.

"Uhm... Hello there" Lincoln slowly wave his hand "Welcome to this world little one" he smile akwardly at the baby as the baby smile back reaching her arms out to him.

Knowing what the baby want Lincoln grabs her and hold her on his arms craddling her "Carol do you want to hold the baby too" he handed him the baby.

Carol hesitant at first before she take her to his arms craddling it too.

"Hey Carol can I hold the baby too, please" Leni plead as Carol nodded and handed her the baby.

"I should Mom and Dad about this and bring Lisa here" Lori grabs her phone and dials the number of her parents.

"I should also call the police about this to" Carol's mother rushes to the house.

After a while both the Loud family van and the police car arrives at Pingrey's house.

"Good afternoon Mr. Pingrey, This is the Royal Woods Police Department, We are called here for another case of a doorstep baby."

"Ah yes, well you see my daugher and-" before he could finish Rita rushes in to him and pushes the policemen on the side.

"Is Lincoln alright, is he hurt, please tell me!?" Rita asked in worried

"Dear calm down" Lynn Sr. said trying to confort his wife

"No, don't worry Ms. Rita you're son is okay, nothing bad happen to him, his on the backyard with my daugther, they are unfortunate to receive those doorstep baby" Mr. Pingrey said as he lets the Louds and the Police enter the house and guide them to the backyard, Rita seeing her son rushes to him.

"Lincoln, my dear is it true that you and Carol have a-" Rita asked but was interupted by her son.

"Yes mom, well there she is" Lincoln points the baby at Leni's arms.

"Wait that kid is the father!" one of the Policemen asked and Lincoln nodded "Okay all the victims cases that I heard of are all adults with the same age or slight age gap between the two, but getting a minor involve in this drawing some lines here."

"My god, what kind of sick person would do this, especially to my son!" Rita screams at anger.

"If I find that person im going to... I'll think about what gonna do to that person later" Lynn Sr. said.

"So can we see the baby now?" Lana asked.

"Yeah, we want to see what she looks like" Lola said as Leni showed them the baby and all of the Louds gather around to see her.

"Alright then, Mr. Loud and Ms Pingrey, I would like to asked you some question about this" a policewoman asked both Lincoln and Carol as they looked at each other and both nodded at her. The entire afternoon was spend on question both Lincoln and Carol and everyone on the party about the baby, the other police search and investigate any trace of the culprit and Lisa decided to run a DNA test on the baby to conform if they really are her parents.

"Attention everyone, I've gather the result of the test that conforms that Lincoln and Carol is indeed the young homosapein biological parents" Lisa said making any hope of being a prank, dissapeared.

"I-I think need some time alone" Carol said clearly distress about this news as she walk inside her house.

"I think I should try taking to her" Lincoln tries to follows Carol but a hand on his shoulder stop him.

"You should probably leave her alone, something like this you shouldn't involve yourself into, well deal with this baby situation" Mr. Pingrey said sternly.

"I know Mr. Pingrey, taking care of a baby is a huge responsiblity, but this is something me and Carol should talk about and decide on what to do with our 'daugther" Lincoln reply suprising Mr. Pingrey to his answer.

"Wow your quite mature for your age young man" Mr. Pingrey laugh "Very well then, you and daugther really need to discuss this situation the two of you been through" Lincoln nodded and went to the house to talk to Carol.

Inside he went upstairs and into her bedroom door their he knock on the door "Carol, are you there? It's me Lincoln, im here to talk to you" he receive no answer through the door and decided to open the door, he see Carol sitting on her bed seems staring at the distance, she snap at her trance when she hears her door open.

"Hey Carol, how are you feeling" he spoke softly to her with a nervous smile.

"I-I really don't know, I feel angry for someone who did this to us, but im also afraid because I don't know what to do with that baby" she said looking away from him.

"That's what im here to talk about, I want to know what you want to do with her, to our daugther" he asked sitting next to her.

"Im thinking of giving her up to someone, because we are too have children especially to you are still a minor" she paused a second "But I feel bad for her, being given away twice from someone who throw her away and from her real parents who are too young to have her."

"Yeah I also feel the same way too" he answered as she looked at him "I know im not ready to be a father, but I don't want her to be separated to her real parents even I have to take care of her at the young age."

"Wait are you willing to take responsibilty for her?" she asked shocked to the white-hair boy's word.

"I guess so, its not the same as taking care of a younger sibling but I could manage it, if that's not what you want I could respect that, but if you want to I will help you take care and raised her and try my best to be a father for her" he said in a sincere tone, his words touched her so much that her heart begins to beat fast and her cheeks to warm up.

"Are you willing to do that?" she asked and he nodded "Maybe you really are ready to be a daddy, Linky" she teased.

"P-please, don't start with that!" he looked away with his cheeks lit up in embarassment causing her to chuckle.

"Okay then, I decided that I want to raised our daugther with you" she said suprising the white-hair boy.

"Are you sure about this Carol?"

"Im very sure about it Lincoln, it was unexpected for us to receiver her, but I also think that she deserve a complete family, I will also be a mother for her just like how you're willing to be a father for her too" 

"I guess were a parent now" he laugh and smiled.

"Yeah I guess we are" she also smiled back patting his head "I think we should go back to the party and tell them about the news" she stands up with him.

"Oh, before we go, since we decided to be a parent how about we give our daugther a name?" he asked

"A name?" she replied.

"Yeah a name."

Outside in the backyard the Loud and Pingrey family are gathering around the baby and greeting themselves to her and taking turns of holding her starting with the parents, Luan trying to make the baby laugh and Lana and Lola arguing who would hold the baby first.

"Well Mr. Pingrey, we find no trace of the culprit even the camera was cut off during this incident, but we will try our best to finding who's resposible for this" the policemen said.

"Thank you officer, I hope you would capture the culprit as soon as posible" Mr. Pingrey said as the police leaves after finishing the investigation and both Carol and Lincoln went outside to met their parent.

"Everyone we have an annoucement to make... We decide to raised Cecilia as our own!" Carol said shocking everyone.

"Wait Cecilia, are you saying that the two of you will be her parent!?" Mr. Pingrey asked.

"Yes dad, we will" Carol replied.

"But dear, having a child is a big responsibility and you still have more things ahead of you" Mr. Pingrey said.

"His right Lincoln your still too young to be a father, are willing to give up your teenage years to be a parent" Rita asked her son.

"We know dad, it was unexpected event for us and we are terrified about it, but me and Lincoln is willingly raise Cecilia as a daugther and give her the family she needs" Carol said.

"She's right sir, I promise you I would do my best helping your daugther on raising your granddaugther" Lincoln sincerely said leaving both parents touched by his words.

"Wow, for your age you seem to already accepting it, I am very impress with you, young man" Mr. Pingrey said admiring Lincoln's maturity.

"Thanks, having taking care of my younger sister and Lily did give me some experince" Lincoln replied rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh, my baby boy is growing so fast" Rita sadly said wipping some tears on her eyes.

"That is totes great of you two... I know, here hold her Carol" Leni handed her Cecilia and Carol holds her to her arms then Leni grabs her phone "Okay Linky you get close with Carol and smile to the camera" both look at each other and smile then to the camera holding their daugther.

"So like are you guys going to get married?" Leni asked causing both of them to get flushed.

"What no Leni, were not going to do that!" Carol replied.

"But both of you have a baby does that mean that you two are a couple?" Leni naively asked.

"Leni, they are not couple, they are just raising her out of obligation!" Lori answer.

"But I think you two look good together" Leni said causing Carol and Lincoln to look away at each other while thier cheek is still red.

"Let's just not talk about that... hey how about we take a family picture with our newest member of the family" Rita asked which the Loud and Pingrey family agree, they gather around Carol and Lincoln and they asked a cameraman to take a picture of them and shot a picture of the two family together, they return to the party not just to celebrate Carol's birthday is also to welcome the Cecilia to the family.

Chapter 2: The Music Room

Chapter Text

It's been five months since Cecilia appear in Carol's birthday party, they went to check on her in a doctor about her health and they said she is perfectly healthy without any complication which made both families relieve about the news, both Carol and Lincoln spend their entire summer taking care of her, both of their parents gives them a crash course about pareting and how to care for the babies needs on which they pass quickly due to Lincoln's experince of caring for his younger sister and Carol working as a babysitter before and both families agrees to take turn on taking care of Cecilia every week. As time went on both families has grew fond with Cecilia to the point of both fathers argues to which one of them would be her sucessor, Lincoln and Carol not only grew closer to Cecilia they also grew closer to each other, the time the three of them spend together feels special to them to feeding her, taking her to places and sleeping with her they feel happy on each other presence taking pictures on each moment they spend, the Pingrey parents sees Lincoln as a good father dispite his age and decide to give them their blessing to be part of the family which strenghting the two families bond and give Lincoln extra salary for compensation for it which he happily accept.

After the months had spend summer break is over and Carol has to return to college away from town, she was hesitant to leave Cecilia but Lincoln and her parents assured her that she would take care of her while she was away and she muct focus on her studies first, Carol agree and begins leaving for college and promises her daugther that she would visit her when she had her school break. As for Lincoln he returns to school as the news of him having a child with someone older than spread and he talks to her friends on the hallway, taking about what the student talking about when their on summer trips.

"And that's how I got Cecilia" Lincoln finishes his story to his friends while closing the locker.

"Man that's mess up, having a baby that young is vile for someone to do that" the black-skin boy said.

"It might be a government experiment and that baby might be a new type metahuman for you to raise" his red-haired with glasses said.

"I don't think so Zach, the doctor said she is completely normal and whoever brought her here it really doesn't matter, what matters is that we are taking care of her" Lincoln said in conspiracy tone.

"Are you really sure that your okay with this, Lincoln?" a tall tan-skin girl asked.

"Of course I am Stella, I been with her for the entire summer and im starting to see her as my daugther, beside it's not really that bad, yeah she a bit of an attention seeker and would cry hard to get it, but when you have many young sibling doing the same thing you get used of it, plus the Pingrey's seem happy to have Cecilia when Carol is away" Lincoln said.

"Well atleast you get a hottie out of it" the curly orange-hair boy teased with a smug on his face.

"Rusty I told you we are not-"

"Well, well, well, if isn't that daddy Larry over there" Lincoln and his friends turns to the voice and see a red-haired boy calling to them "I thought you would be working on those boring office job now" the red-haired said in a mocking tone.

"What do you want Chandler?" Lincoln asked with his brows low.

"What? Im a not allow to congratulate you, for having a baby" Chandler added.

"Come on Lincoln, it's not worth dealing with pest like him" a orange-hair kid with bowl cut said to Lincoln as he and everyone agrees and walking away from Chandler.

"Why because that he is hiding that he might knock out a older chick on the party" this causes Lincoln to stop "That why you had the baby, because you are afraid that you will be virgin forever."

"Shut your mouth Chandler, you don't know what your talking about!" Lincoln shouted at him gritting his teeth, before thing can escalate someone shouted at the hallway.

"LINCOLN!" they all turned to the source and sees a black-haired girl with purple streaks, wearing a black and white shirt beneath a purple jacket, a pink skirt and white boots who is gasping for air.

"Tabby, it's been a while" Lincoln greeted her in confusion "So why did you call me for?" he asked.

"Dude... this might be look crazy, but you gonna see this" Tabby said.

"Okay, so what is it?" Lincoln asked her again.

"Just follow me" Tabby answer as she sprinted to the hallway, Lincoln and his friends also sprinted towards her following where she is going, after a while Tabby stops and reaches the Music room, Lincoln and his friends finally catches up with her and she begins opening the door, they see something in the table, it was cover in white cloth, it was moving, making noises and it cries it was baby.

"Ah, Tabby where did that baby come from?" Lincoln asked.

"Well you see, I was just practicing my jams here, until I hear someone crying on that corner and this where I find the baby and I find this note next to it" Tabby handed her the note to Lincoln.

Upon reading it, his eyes widen to what he was reading 'Mother: Tabby Tempo Father: Lincoln Loud Gender: Female You can confirm it by a DNA test' those word makes his blood cold.

"So... The rumors about the doorstep baby... Was really true... And this one... Is our baby" Tabby said in shaky voice.

After the incident happen Clyde inform the Principal about the 'doorstep baby' and she calls the police to investigate the school, as for Lincoln and Tabby they are sitting in the Principal Office with Lincoln holding the baby.

"Oh my god, oh my god, I can't believe this is happening!?" Tabby said in a nervous tone while shaking.

"Tabby calm down" Lincoln said trying to reassure her.

"Calm down, dude we just got a doorstep baby and we are it's mom and dad!" Tabby yelled in fear.

"Okay that's fair, I know this is alot to take in but you have to calm down for a bit I don't want you to wake up the baby" Lincoln calmly said.

"Why aren't you freaking out about, you and I just got a baby!?"

"Well this isn't the first time I got a doorstep baby with someone" Lincoln said rubbing the back of his head.

"Wait so rumors of you having a baby with an older chick is true!?" Tabby asked in suprise.

"Yeah, it is also the same way how we got her too."

"And your okay with it?" Tabby asked raising her eyebrow.

"Well at first I was freaking out for having a baby, but I grew fond with Cecilia and see her as my daugther, Even my family accept her as one of them" Lincoln said as he look to the baby on his arms "And I also getting attach to this one too, she may be a doorstep baby but I also see her as a daugther too" he begins rocking the baby on his arms, Tabby seeing this paternal care towards the baby causing her smile.

"Right this way officers" the door opens, the two of them turn their head and sees Ms. Ramirez and two policemen enters the room "There they are, the student who got hit by the doorstep baby" she both pointed towards Lincoln and Tabby on there seats.

"Wait a minute, I remember you, your that kid who got a doorstep baby with Mr. Pingrey daugther at the party, right?" one of the policemen recognise the white-hair boy.

"Yep, that was me and I got another one" Lincoln showed them the baby.

"That's strange this is the first time we heard of a doorstep baby happening to the same person with different partners" the other policemen said putting his finger on his chin "So who's the mother?"

"That would be me, lad" Tabby nervously waves at the policemen.

"Hold on you two are it's parents" both of them nodded "Okay between a minor and a adult is bad enough, now between two minors this case is getting worse the more I hear about"

"Anyway, you two wouldn't mind that I have some question to asked from both of you?" one of the policemen asked and both of them nodded.

Just like what happen five months ago the policemen interrogate both Lincoln and Tabby, the school staff and everyone who used or near the Music room about the baby, this causes the school to be suspended letting the student leave earlier for investigation for any trace of the culprit. Ms. Ramirez called both of Lincoln's and Tabby's parents to pick them up, The two of them are outside waiting in silence waiting for there parents to come while Lincoln holds the sleeping baby on his arms.

"So... Tabby, do you want to hold?" Lincoln started as he handed her the baby.

"I-I don't know Linc, I never carry a baby before" Tabby said rubbing her arm.

"Really, that's okay, I could show you how is done, if you want it?" Lincoln offered, Tabby accept and the baby on his arms, she was nervous for not knowing how to hold a baby but Lincoln taught her how to do it by saying to 'hold her like you hold your guitar', after a while she finally hold the baby properly.

"See, that wasn't so hard" Lincoln said.

Y-yeah, I kinda get a hang of this" Tabby said looking at the baby "She looks peaceful and adorable too" she added and smiled at her.

"So... What are you gonna do with her?" he seriously said as her smile dissapear from hearing it.

"I don't know Linc, you seem fine with her but me, I really don't know yet" she said in a downcast look.

"That's fine, when our parents get here, we will talk about that with them" he said reassuring her as she looks at him and smile, speaking of parents they finally arrive to pick them up with the Loud sibling on the family van.

"Lincoln, is that another doorstep baby?" Lynn Sr. asked.

"Yes, dad she is another one" Lincoln reply.

"This can't be, this can't be happening to our daugther, she's too young for this!" Tabby's mother said in shocked.

"We are sorry for your daugther's involvement about this" Rita apologize.

"You don't need to apologize Ms. Loud, it's not your fault, your son is also the victim of this mess too" Ms. Tempo said in a sympathetic tone.

"Well is not the first time I been to this mess" Lincoln said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ms. Tempo asked.

"I think you and your daugther should come with us and talk about how to deal with this" Lynn Sr. serously said this causes the her to look at her daugther about it and Tabby nodded on approval.

"Okay Louds, I guess we are coming with you" Ms. Tempo said as she and Tabby went to their car same with the Louds and they ride to the Loud house.

Tabby give the baby to Lincoln and all the Loud siblings gather around the baby inside the van then each of them greet the baby and take turn of holding her making a noise and choas at the van, fearing the baby would wake up Lincoln was able to catch her and tell his sister to quiet down til they arrive home. After driving for a while they arrive in the Loud house with a another to arrive on the house which was the Pingrey family with Ms. Pingrey holding little Cecilia on her arms, they all enter the house and have a conversation about what had happen.

"So that baby is the young boy's other daugther!?" Ms. Tempo asked suprise to see Lincoln's other child.

"Yep, she is indeed Lincoln's daugther" Ms. Pingrey happily said.

"They had her months ago with my daugther, hold on don't get the wrong idea, they also receive her the same way as your daugther too" Mr. Pingrey said.

"And how is he handling it, about his first daugther?" Ms. Tempo asked.

"Well despite his age, he is a good father and he is handling her very well too" Ms. Pingrey said which intregued Ms. Tempo "Same as our daugther, they both take care of Cecilia really well like a father and mother would, even if she is far from home, she would check and talk to Lincoln about their daughter and as time went on the two of them became very close to each, if they have the same age they could be a thing, but lets not talk about that" Ms. Pingrey laugh it off.

"We also grown fond with her especially when our daugther is not with us, she remind me how we raised Carol when she was a baby, now we will able to do it as a grandparent" Mr. Pingrey said wiping a tears on his eye.

"How could a boy like him was able to handle something like this!?" Ms. Tempo asked.

"Well you see Lincoln has many siblings, young and old" Lynn Sr. said suprising Ms. Tempo about this "They all have different taste and personality, I supose that your daugther knows Luna, right?" he asked and Ms. Tempo nodded "Anyway being the only boy on the house he has taken upon himself to helping his sisters and acts like a second parent to his younger sister when we are not around."

"And that is why I believe that Lincoln would handle another child, well a doorstep one that is from a another woman, but not the least his child, will just have to wait for them how they would deal woth this" Rita said looking at the stairs. Upstair another conversation is happening to Lincoln's room.

"Girls please, can give us some space?" Lincoln begged.

"But Linky, you said we would play with her we get" Leni said with a pout.

"I know, but this is urgent, me and Tabby need to discuss about this" Lincoln said rubbing the back of head.

"His right dudettes, this is important for Tabby and little bro to talk about" Luna said causing the sisters to complain "I don't want to hear it, just leave my bro alone" she waved her sisters away from Lincoln.

"Thanks Luna, appreciated it" Lincoln said smiling at her.

"No problem bro, you and Tabby have alot to talk about, she is the coolest gal you'll ever meet so make sure you two make the best out of it" Luna said putting her hands to his shoulders.

"We will Luna, I promise" Lincoln said causing Luna to smile.

"Awesome, well im gonna go now, good luck you too" Luna closes the door leaving the two alone, Lincoln looks to Tabby who is sitting in his bed holding the baby.

"Sorry about my sisters, they are just like that" Lincoln said.

"It's okay Linc, they seem very excited" Tabby said.

"Yeah, they really are..." he said rubbing the back of his head "So how about you how do feel" he asked.

"At first I was scared a bit... but now I feel happy with her" she said.

"how come can you be happy?"

"Well I always wanted a sibling before but that happen because my mom and dad seperated when I was seven and mom is always busy with work so I never had anyway one else at home, so having her make feel least lonely" she said with a sad smile.

"I didn't know that's what you been going through Tabby" he said in sympathetic tone.

"You don't have to apologize Linc, I don't really share to this to anyone, even with Luna."

"Maybe, you could treat her like a little sister, it would be more appropriate to treat her as such, so that you can also raise her like a mother" he suggest to her.

"I don't know Lincoln, what if im not a good sis?" she said with a frown.

"Come on don't be like that" he sits next to her and put his hand to her shoulder " Even we spend little time at the dance, I know that your an upbeat and fun person to be around, she would see you as the coolest person ever, and don't worry I would help you with her beacuse you could say that im also her older brother too" he said smiling at her, Tabby was very touched causing her face to lit up and her heart beat faster, she puts down the baby on the bed and hug him.

"Thanks Linc, your quite a charmer aren't you" she said.

"Hehe, Thanks" he blushes at her words and hugs her back "Alright then, let's go down stairs and talk to our parent about it" he said as she nodded and grabs the baby to head downstairs. They reaches the living room where they meet everyone.

"Hey there Tabby, how did it goes?" Ms. Tempo asked.

"It was fine mom that why were here to talk about, I decide that we would like to keep her, but we will treat her as our little sister for now atleast" Tabby said and everyone is anticipating Ms. Tempo's answer.

"If that's my daugther's decision, then I would accept her too" she said and everyone is shocked "The more they talk about the boy, the more I realize that he is a perfect partner for you, and I trust him to care for you and the baby" Ms. Tempo smile.

"Thank Ms. Tempo, I appreciated that you faith on me" Lincoln said smiling back.

"Alright, congratulations you two, and welcome to the family Tabby" Luna said.

"Thanks Luna, i am very happy to be part of your family too" Tabby reply.

"Well I guess we could accept her as a family too" Mr. Pingrey as Ms. Pingrey nodded too. As everyone is congratulating the two, Cecilia seeing her father being attentive to a another baby than her causes her to be jealous and begins to make loud noises to gets everyone's attention.

"Cecilia, what wrong sweety?" Lincoln asked.

"Ah!" Cecilia said loudly as she reaches her arms out to Lincoln.

"I think she wants you to hold her, I guess she misses you alot" Ms. Pingrey said as she hand Cecilia to Lincoln.

"Okay then Cecilia I would like you to meet the new baby and your probably half-sister to you" Lincoln shows her the baby, upon seeing the other baby to her she blows a raspberry and glares at her.

"Hey don't be rude to her Cecilia!" Lincoln scolds her.

"I guess she doesn't like someone stealing her spotlight" Tabby joked.

"Ah, the two of them is so cute together" Leni said.

"Yeah they are, hey how about I take a picture of you two lovebirds and your sweet child over there" Luna said causing both of them to blush as they nodded, Lincoln handed Cecilia to Ms. Pingrey causing her pout for being seperated from her father, the two move closer together and hold the baby together as they take the picture.

"Hold on, we forgot to give her a name" Lincoln said.

"A name? Oh yeah we forgot about that, hehehe" Tabby replied.

"So what are you going to name?" Lincoln asked.

"Wait, your asking me to name her!?" Tabby asked back.

"Yeah, you are her sister and mother, so it's your right to name her" Lincoln answer with a smile.

"I guess your right" Tabby said thinking of a name "I think I would name her... Terry."

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Four months had passed since Terry had been introduced by everyone, Lisa run a DNA test on her and confirms that she is indeed their biological daugther which Lincoln and Tabby fully accept her as their own, Luna was very happy for Tabby and was very proud to call her as one of her sister,they call Carol to talk about the situation that had happen at first she was shocked about the news, but she eventually understand and accept about it, because she knew that it is not their fault and is willing to confort and advise Tabby about it and just like the Pingrey the Tempo's also agreed to take turns of taking care of Terry every week, Tabby for her part was very happy to finally have a companion in home to share her interest and just like Lincoln said she would treat her like her little sister, she would play with her, feed her and even play her guitar to her on which Lincoln and her mother advise her not to do that, but Terry seems to enjoy her "sister's" jam session even in loud volumes.

After two weeks of supension after the incident both of them return to school with many student looking at them differently some boys are impress while some are jealous that he was able to hit on two women and one of them is a college student, while the girls some fell bad for the both of them from the doorstep baby incident while others avoid any eye contact with Lincoln hoping they don't became a victim just like Tabby, but they just ignored them and just go on with their day. After having Terry the two of them started hanging out together whether be with Lincoln's friend or just the two of them and do things like playing or practicing a guitar, listening to different types of music and talking about them and hanging around the mall or park with or without Terry.

As time went on the two of them grew closer to each other, Tabby would tease Lincoln by calling him babe on which he would blushed hard and squirm whether she that, but all those teases would eventually develop to something deeper from him and she starting to see all the good things Lincoln has, that Luna was taking about, whether she struggles of babystting Terry he would always help her to what she needs and even giving her a suprise to her birthday where he takes her to SMOOCH concert, every moment with him feels special to her and she doesn't know how to express those feelings to him.

It was finally Chrismas Eve, the Pingrey and Tempo all went to the Loud house to celebrate it with Cecilia and Terry with them, not only that Carol and Lori are going to return home from college to also celebrate with there family and so Carol can finally see Cecilia and meet the new baby that Lincoln had. The two finally reaches the house, Lori knocks on the door for it to be open by Lori's mother.

"Lori, Carol, im very glad you two are here now" Rita said as she hugs Lori.

"Im glad to see you too mom" Lori hugs back her mother.

"Good to see you too Ms. Loud and Merry Christmas for you" Carol said with a bow.

"Merry Christmas to you Carol, come inside everyone is waiting for you two inside" Rita said as the two of them nodded and went inside where they meet Carol's parents.

"Carol, my dear, im happy to see you" Ms. Pingrey rushes to Carol and hugs her.

"Im happy too see you mom" Carols hugs her back.

"Well dear, look who's happy to see you too" Mr. Pingrey said holding Cecilia on his arm, Cecilia is happily reaching her arms to Carol.

"Cecilia, my sweet snow, how miss you so much" Carol grabs her and playfully tickles her stomach causing the baby to giggle.

"You are very fond of her Carol, even if you only bonded with her during summer, you two are literally close" Lori said.

"Of we are, she is my daugther Lori" Carol begins rubbing her cheek to her "Me and Lincoln raised her together, she's a sweet girl and her warmth when im holding her is something I miss since the last summer" she hugs the baby tight.

'One day me and Bobby will have something like this' Lori thought as she looked at Carol being tender with Cecilia.

"Speaking of Lincoln where is he anyway?" she asked.

"Right here, just helping dad with the food" Lincoln enters the living room holding Terry on his arms.

"Hello there Lincoln, and hello there too Terry is nice to finally meet you" Carol greeted as she approaches her while Cecilia is glaring at the baby for being the center of attention "By the way where is Tabby?" Carol asked

"Oh, she and her mom are in the dining table and everyone is there too so let's go there, the food is ready" Lincoln went back to the dining room with Lori, Carol and her parents following behind.

In the dining room everyone are gather to the table with many food on it, when the Loud sisters sees Lori walk in they stand up and rushes to her giving her a group hug, they all went to the table to sit with Carol sitting next Lincoln, Lynn Sr. gives a toast to the table before they all went to eat, Carol hand feed Cecilia while talking about her, Lori taking to her parents about college, Luan making a christmas pun routine, the twins fighting for food, Luna and Tabby playing a rock christmas carol with Terry is enjoying it on Ms. Tempo's arms and finally everyone places their presents under the christmas tree, they all enjoy the feast and activies they had as hours went on it was getting late, everyone all went to clean up everything in the table. The Pingreys and Tempos said their goodbyes and promising they would return tomorrow before going home taking Cecilia and Terry with them, the Louds all retired to their room to rest for tomorrow.

The next day it was Christmas the Pingreys and Tempos return this morning and everyone gathered around the tree as they picked up the present to give it for someone, as everyone receive their gifts theres a knock on the front door, Lori went to open the door and see a mailman carrying a box on the door.

"I have a mail for Lori Loud" the mailman said.

"Oh that's me, who is that from?" Lori asked.

"Well I don't know, there is no name written to who send it, but it's your, here" the mailman handed him the box to her and Lori takes it and closes the door.

"Lori what's on that?" Lynn Sr. asked.

"I don't know and it doesn't have a name of who send it, maybe is a gift from Bobby, he more likely forgot to right his name" Lori said as she puts the box on the desk excited to open it, when she open the box instead of gifts she finds something that Lincoln was familiar with, a sleeping baby this causes everyone to gasp in suprise, but the most shocking of all is the note written on it.

'Mother: Lori Loud Father: Lincoln Loud Gender: Female You can confirm it by a DNA test' those word causes everyone has a look and feel of disgust when reading it.

"D-don't tell me, t-that baby is Lori and Lincoln's... child" Lynn Sr. said in a fearful voice which causes Rita too faint after hearing it, Luna and Lynn was able to catch her before she hits the ground.

"N-no this can't true... T-this is a joke... Luan is this one of pranks, because this is literally not funny!?" Lori yelled in a shaky voice.

"No this isn't mine Lori, I would incest of doing something like that, Get it!" Luan joked causing everyone growl.

"Luan, I literally do not have time for your pun!" Lori glared at Luan.

"Sorry, force of habit" Luan apologized.

"Geez, Linc this is the third time, what's up with you with this babies anyway?" Tabby asked while looking at the baby.

"I really don't know why I keep receiving them?" Lincoln said as the baby begins to wake up, Lincoln just like Cecilia was the first to greet her.

"Hey there... Uhm, welcome to our big family" Lincoln waves his causing her to smile and then he picks her up holding her "Lori, do you want to hold her?" he asked as he handed the baby to her.

"H-holding that thing, no way, I am not touching that!" Lori scornfully yelled.

"Lori, the note said you are her mother and should like one" Rita sternly scolds her.

"Okay mom" Lori sigh as she grabs the baby and holds her "Okay I think that enough!" she immediately handed it to Lynn Sr. as she runs upstairs "I will be in my room, trying to forget about this!" she dissapear upstairs with a loud slam can be heard.

"Well that's a familliar reaction" Carol said remembering something similar thing that she do.

"So what do we do now?" Lynn Sr. asked unsure of what to do.

"I should talk to Lori and try to calm her down, and dad you should called the police about this" Lincoln said as Lynn Sr. nodded and begins calling the police.

"I should go there too, Lori is my friend and I should try to comfort her about this" Carol said and Lincoln agreed as the two of them went upstairs.

"I should also run a DNA test to confirm if she really is their biological daugther, and also to check if there's any 'unfortunate' side-effect of having a close relative genetic parent" Lisa said she and takes a hair sample of the baby.

"What is that mean?" Lana asked.

"It means the baby might grew up being a freak" Luna answer her question.

"A freak, that's sounds cool" Lana said.

"Not that kind of freak, the bad kind of freak" Luna reply back.

Meanwhile Lincoln and Carol are standing outside of Lori and Leni's room they looked at each other before Lincoln knocks "Lori it's me Lincoln" he said through the door.

"Go away twerp, I don't want to talk right now!" Lori yelled behind the door.

"Come on Lori, let's try to talk this out just the three of us" Carol added.

"Ah, fine get in" Lori said as the two went inside her room and find her laying on her face "What is it that you two want to talk about?" she said looking at the two.

"We here to talk about baby and what to do with her" Lincoln asked.

"What I want with her is to get that freak away from me!" Lori stand up and yelled at anger.

"Hey don't call her that!" Lincoln yelled back, glaring at her.

"Yeah, if you really don't want her, you could atleast said it calmly, you don't have to yell or talk ill to that baby Lori" Carol scolds her while also glaring at her.

"Sorry about that, im just really angry that this happen to me, especially with my baby brother" Lori said, looking down in shame.

"I understand Lori, me and Tabby also feels the same too when that happen to us, but we are able to come around and accept them as our own" Carol calmly said, putting her arms on Lori's shoulder.

"Well the difference is that you two are unrelated to Lincoln while me he is my younger brother!" Lori reply.

"Yeah, but atleast we didn't do it in a... traditional method" Lincoln shuddered at what he said.

"When everyone find out about this, they make fun of me for having a incest child with my little brother" Lori cried.

"Well I also faces a similiar teasing, when everyone find out about it some people would call me a pedophile for having a child with someone younger than me" Carol looked down with a sad face "It hurts when they call me that, but I just ignore them and some of my classmate and the teachers defended me saying that it's my fault why that happen" she looked at Lori with a somber smile.

"I don't know go through that... but what about Bobby what do you think he feel about" Lori said.

"Why not call him and clear things about your situation" Lincoln said.

"I don't what to say to him?"

"Just tell about what happen and why that happen, im sure he understand about this" Carol said as Lori sighed, she grabs her phone and begins texting Bobby.

Lori: Hey there Bobby I have something to tell you

She waited for his responds.

Bobby: Hey Babe what seem to be the problem?

Lori: Well you see we have a new baby in the house

Bobby: Really I didn't that your mom was pregnant

Lori: Mom is not pregnant

Bobby: Oh so which baby is it?

Lori: That baby is my-

"Wait, don't say that yet!" Lincoln stopped Lori, realizing her mistake she deleted the message and type another one.

Lori: Well have you heard about the doorstep baby?

Bobby: Yeah I heard of it in the news it was the third time this week why?

Bobby: Wait so your saying that your parents receive one!

Lori: Yeah but is not my parents who receive it im the one who did and the father is Lincoln

Bobby: What are you sure about this babe!?

Lori: I wish it was joke but it is

Bobby: Who could have something like this I hope Lincoln is doing well about this

Lori: Well to tell you the thruth this isn't the first this happen to him

The two of them continue texting as Lori explain everthing.

Bobby: Wow so this is Lincoln's third child

They ended their chat as Lori throws the phone on het bed and she sigh in relief.

"How do feel Lori?" Lincoln asked.

"I feel fine I guess" Lori reply.

"Well the good news is that Bobby is seem taking it well" Carol said.

"Yeah that's a relief to me" Lori said.

"Lori, Lincoln" Lucy said causing everyone to jumped.

"Geez Luce, what is it?" Lincoln asked clutching his chest.

"Dad is calling for you two, there someone wants see you" Lucy said as she leaves the room, the three of them followed her and they went downstair. Once they are there, they see Lynn Sr. and Rita talking to a policeman, when he notices them and he approaches Lincoln.

"So you had another one?" the officer asker.

"Yep, I had another one" Lincoln said rubbing the back of head.

"So who's the mother this time?"

"That would be me, me and brother had... I child" Lori said this shocked the officer about the news.

"I this point im not very suprise at this point" the officer pinches the bridges of his nose"Alright you know the jizz here kid, time for some questioning."

Just like before the police asked them a question once they are done the police leaves to investagate the post office where the package came from leaving the everyone on their own.

"So Lori, what are you going to do with her now?" Rita asked.

"Well I-" before she could answer Lisa interrupts her.

"I have news for you all, this data shows that this young specimen is 102 percent their biological child with a 2 percent margin of error, but luckily she seem to not suffer from any genetic defect" Lisa said as everyone is relief about the last part, but the first part they are unsure on how Lori would take on this.

"I guess I will accept her as my own" Lori said suprising everyone especially how she acted before.

"Are sure about this Lori?" Lincoln asked.

"I don't know if I can do it, but if Carol and Tabby who is younger than me can take care of their, then I should atleast try" Lori said, seeing how unsure and hesitant she still is Lincoln puts his hand to her shoulder to comfort her.

"I know this is gonna be hard for you Lori, that why im here to help you, im done it for the two of them so might as well add another" Lincoln said causing Lori to smile.

"Thanks Linky, I appriciated it" Lori hugs her brother as Lincoln hugs her back.

"You can trust Lincoln with this" Carol said.

"Yeah his a pretty cool bro with Terry" Tabby said.

"Well I guess we another member of the family" Lynn Sr. sighed.

"By the way do have a name for her?" Lincoln asked.

"A name? oh yeah a name... well is uhm... Li.. La.. Lo.. Loan" Lori said.

"Loan, are you sure?" Lincoln asked back.

"Look thats the only thing I could think of" Lori answer.

"Alright then it's Loan, using the Loud family four letter name" Lincoln said.

"That is totes great, congratulations you two" Leni celebrated "Here hold her" she handed Loan to Lori as she grabs her phone "Now get close you two and smile the camera" she said as the two of them looked at each other.

"Well this is it Lori, theres no turning back now" Lincoln said, smilling at her.

"Yeah, I guess theres no turning back" Lori said and smiled back.

The two took the picture and went back to celebrate Christmas with the new member of the family.

Chapter 4: The Boutique

Chapter Text

It's been two years had passed since Cecilia, Terry and Loan had arrived on their lives and many things happen during those years, Clyde when he heard the news about of Lori and Lincoln having a doorstep baby with each other was a bit heartbroken about it, Lincoln is afraid that their friendship is ruined, but Clyde immediately got over it the next day and said that he supports them for taking care of Loan. When the news about them begins to spread that some people teasing and mocking them for having an inbreed child, but of course just like Carol having experince this kind teasing some of their classmate, friends and even the teachers defended them saying that it is not their fault that this happen to them, when the police came to the post office where the package for Lori came from and interrogates the receptionist about it, they said that they haven't seen their face because they are wearing a hood and a sunglasses, but they remember what they sound like, what they recall is that they had a raspy voice who sounded like a woman, that was the only clue they had yet and have no leads of finding who's responsible for it, as the case of the doorstep baby increases for the last year, some of which has the same case as Lori and Lincoln.

Carol and Lori both finally graduated college with high honors, after graduating both of them move back to their parents house and find themselves a full-time job with Lori as a lawyer and Carol as manager on her father's shipping company to get close and finacially support their child.

Lori and Bobby relationship remained strong even after they break up, they remained close friends and would visit each other frequetly, while Lincoln and Tabby develop a close relationship when they enter the first year of high school and begin going out for a date just enjoying each others company, same with Carol but their relationship is keep a secret for obvious reasons.

As Cecilia, Terry and Loan grow over the years they begin to display each of their personality.

Cecilia is a very smart kid and a quick learner, she was able to memorize tge alphabet, spell her name correctly and count more than ten numbers, she has been shown having a good manners when to talking to other or her family, but she is also shown to be a bit of a perfectionist, she likes thing are in order and organized, and dislike when someone makes a mess.

Terry just like Tabby is very upbeat and energetic, she would run around the house to look for something interesting, playing the toy guitar that Tabby give her all day and trying to befriend anyone she meet to play with her, but she is too rough and wild when she plays which causes her to get in trouble with others and almost hurt herself.

Loan is very shy when it comes to other people and seems to not very fond with them, she feels more comfortable with her family that whether they are in the public she would cling closely to Lori or Lincoln for comfort and would feel anxious around strangers.

Dispite their differences in personalities and mother, they are indeed Lincoln's children and he see himself in them, but due to their circumstances of birth he decided to call himself their uncle and treat them like his niece, he knows that someday they would tell them the truth of how they are conceived and who their father was, but for now this is how their relationship would go on.

Summer has came around this year both Carol and Cecilia celebrated their birthday, Leni was was able to open her own boutique shop at the downtown and there's a comic convention in two weeks that Lincoln wanted to attend with his friends, the three of them allowed him to go, because his been taking care of them a lot so it would be fair to give him a break and let him have some fun, and wanting to cosplay as Ace Savvy he asked Leni to make him a costume of him in exchange of helping her on the boutique which Leni agreed but she doesn't have enough materials to make one yet so she orders them for her shop and said that she would make his costume when the materials are delivered to her.

Seven days had passed since his request for Leni, Lincoln is in the living room playing video games after he had taken care of Loan's injuries and put her to sleep, this happened four days ago when the three of them try to reach the cookies on the top shelf so they stack together with Loan on the top to reach it, but they got caught causing them to panic and lost balance which lead to Loan falling and breaking her leg, luckily the injury wasn't anything serious and it would heal for a couple of week, as for the two they are grounded to their homes for doing that and making them missed out a trip to Dairyland Amusement Park that Lincoln also missed out to take care of Loan, but his intentions isn't entirely selfless, he knew that he would be rewarded for his work.

Hours later the rest of the family arrived home with Lynn giving him a model plane and a teddy bear for Loan that they've won at the park.

"Thanks"

"So how is Loan, Linc?" Lori asked.

"Oh, she is sleeping in her room and she seem to doing fine."

"That's good hear, I'll be in my room, i'm gonna check on her for a bit" Lori ruffles his hair and went upstairs.

"I almost forgot, I'm already finished with your costume Linky, but I didn't bring it here and left it in the shop" Leni said.

"That's great Leni, we'll come and check that out tomorrow" Lincoln said smiling at her as she smiles back and nodded before going upstairs, after the conversation he went back to his gaming until dinner arrived.

The next day the two of them arrived at the boutique and they went to the backroom, Leni approaches at something that is covered by a blue cloth as she grips it with both of her hands.

"Ta-da" Leni removed the fabric revealing a Ace Savvy costume display in a mannequin"What do you think Linky!?" she asked excited for his response.

"It looks amazing Leni, you really did a great job on this" Lincoln joyfully said as he approaches the costume and begins looking around.

"Thanks for that Linky, it was gift for you after you help in the boutique" Leni said blushing at Lincoln's compliment "You should try wearing it" Lincoln nodded as he grabs the costume out of the mannequin and wears it, he looked at mirror and begin posing with the costume on.

"Ms. Leni, there's a package for you" a voice said as Lincoln and Leni both looked at the source and seeing a brunette hair woman peeking at the door.

"Oh, coming!" Leni follows the woman and leaves the backroom leaving Lincoln behind as he continues to admire the costume in the mirror.

"Lincoln, can you come here for a sec!" Leni shouted as he leaves the backroom and meeting her at the counter.

"Lincoln, the package said that it is also yours, saying that your the father and me as a mother, I don't remember order it with you when this is for girls and also it said that I should take a DNA test to confirm it, what is that mean, and I think they made a mistake, because they gave me a white fabric instead of a red one" Leni said looking puzzled at this, Lincoln hearing about this begins to sweat, he approaches the box see a familiar note on it he hasn't seen for years.

'Mother: Leni Loud Father: Lincoln Loud Gender: Female You can confirm it by a DNA test' knowing what's to come, he slowly unfolds the white fabric and see something that he already expect, it was baby again who is sleeping peacefully in the box.

"Leni, do you remember how we got Loan?" Lincoln asked with looking at Leni.

"Yeah, it was a from box right?"

"Yeah, and you know that Carol and Tabby received Cecelia and Terry the way too"

"I know that, what are you trying to say Lincoln?"

Lincoln took a breath and said "Don't freak out about this Leni, because" he grabs the baby in the box and showed it to her "... We got another one" Leni gasp at this.

"Your saying that you and I have a baby?" Lincoln nodded preparing himself for his sister's freak out "That's... That is totes great" Leni gleefully said which leaves Lincoln surprised by this.

"Can I hold her, please"

"Yeah sure" Lincoln handed her the baby as she takes her to her arms.

"There, there mommy here" Leni begins swaying her arms "you're so soft and fluffy, you're like cotton candy" she rubbed her cheek against her "Wait second, hey, can you take a picture of me and Linky with our new baby" she handed her phone to the brunette woman, she obliged as she takes the phone and opens the camera.

"Linky can you come here, I want to take picture with our little one here" Leni said and Lincoln not wanting to upset his sister decided to join in with her as the woman snap a picture of them.

'Well I guess she happy about this' Lincoln thought while looking at Leni "Hey Leni I think we call mom and dad about the our new member."

"Oh yeah, I will call them right now" Leni takes her phone back and dials the number of her parents, she waited until someone finally answered "Hey Mom, you wouldn't believe of what we got, Me and Linky had a daughter just like Carol, Tabby and Lori, isn't that great!" Leni said through the phone which prompt everyone in the store to look at her while Lincoln slapped his forehead at this.

"Oh Leni, you are to pure for this world."

"Here, I'll show her to you" Leni handed the baby back at Lincoln and took a picture of them two sending it to her mother "That's her mom and is it she adorable" Leni added.

"Is that a doorstep baby, and that was between your sister" the brunette woman asked.

"Yeah pretty much."

"I am very sorry for you two, especially for someone who would something heinous like this to you two" the woman said in a sympathetic tone.

"Don't worry about it, but this isn't the first time this happen between my sister and I also had a doorstep baby with two unrelated girls."

"WHAT!" the woman yelled as Leni's call with her mother finally ended

"Lincoln, mom said we have gonna to go home right away" Leni said and Lincoln nodded as he puts the baby back at the box and carries it with him "Oh, can you watch over the boutique for me" the woman still shocked at her interaction with Lincoln can only nod in response, the two of them leaves the boutique and into the car as they drive towards the Loud House.

"I can't wait for her to them, it would be amazing for Cecilia, Terry and Loan to have another sister" Leni said with a smile to her face.

"You seem very happy about this Leni."

"Of course I am, should a mother be happy to have baby."

"I-I guess, but-" before he could finished Leni suddenly stopped the car.

"Hold on I have to pickup something, wait here for a bit" Leni leaves the car and went to the store, he noticed it at the rearview mirror that the baby is going to wake up, he turn around to greet the baby.

"Hey there little one, welcome to our family, you will soon meet them when we arrived home" Lincoln greet her with a smile and the baby smiled back at him as Leni returns to the car and carrying a paper bags.

"I'm back, here take this" Lincoln grabs the the paper bag and opens it to see what's inside as the car begins to move, he sees diapers, baby bottle, milk pills and other baby accessories inside the bag.

"Wow, you seem very prepared about this parent thing, Leni."

"Of course I always feel something like this would happen to me one day, so I prepared myself."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and I can finally do it with her."

"Leni, why are you not freaking out about this?" Lincoln asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean?"

"You know, that we have a child together, are you not like gross out about it, like how Lori reacted when she got Loan?"

"Why would I freak out, we haven't done anything like that, didn't we?"

"Of course not, it just that you seem very okay with this, why is that?"

"Well the truth is that I've always wanted a baby of my own" Leni said which surprises the white-haired boy "Ever since the three of them arrived and watching you take care of them, awakened something on me and I want to have that to, when I received her back at the boutique, I feel happy that I could finally be a mother just like them" she added with a smile on her face.

"Well if that how feel Leni, I promise I would help you take care, just like I did with Carol, Tabby and Lori" Lincoln said, smiling at her.

"Thank Linky, you are my superhero and the best dad ever... I can't wait to have fun with her, I would feed her, play with her and Ah-" Leni suddenly stopped the car.

"Leni, what's wrong?"

"There's a baby following us!"

"Leni, that's our baby, you are looking at the mirror" Lincoln explain as Leni continues on with her driving 'I hope the baby would inherite some of Leni kindness' he thought and sighed at his sister.

After driving for awhile they arrived in the Loud house they exit the car and Lincoln carries the box as they went inside where they meet the Loud family in the living room.

"Hey there bro, did you save a baby today" Luna joked, because of what he was wearing.

"Yep, well there she is" Lincoln put the box on the table showing them the baby.

"Yah, we have another baby" Lily rushes to the box to meet her with the twins doing the same.

"How do are feeling dear, you know having a child with your brother" Rita asked her daughter, putting her hand in her shoulder.

"I feel great mom, I feel happy to finally be a mother, oh I bought some stuff for baby" Leni opens the paper bag and shows her the things she bought to her mother.

"Well, she seems very happy and accepting about this" Lynn Sr. said scratching his head.

"Yeah, she really is" Lincoln said.

"Geez, you getting Harem of babies here Linc, Get it!" Luan joked as Lincoln sighed at the joke.

"You truly are cursed brother" Lucy said causing the three of them to jumped "In time more spawns will appear before you and I hope you are prepared for another."

"Well if that happened, I hope I don't get that many" Lincoln said and feeling somethings bad about to happen when he says that.

"Well whatever you have another or not brother unit, this individual seems to be interested with you, when it come to creating an artificial life" Lisa said as she plucked a hair sample from the baby causing her to cry but there is no sound emitted from her "But for now, I will check on her genomes and see if she had any defects" Lisa went upstairs and retreated to her room.

As they for Lisa's results the Louds takes turns of holding the baby and greeting themselves to her, after a while Lisa finally went downstairs to show them the result.

"Attention everyone, I have the results here, the good news is that the baby is healthy and with no genetic defect" Lisa said as everyone sighed in relief "But there is a problem" Lisa added which causes everyone's mood to feel.

"When I'm observing the infant's genomes I found out that her DNA has been altert" everyone gasp at this news "I also noticed that when I take a hair sample from her she produces no sound even though she shown to be crying, meaning that this alterations affects her vocal cords" Lisa added.

"What do you mean by that Lisa?" Lincoln asked feeling a bit dreadful about her explanation.

"It means that her vocal cords has been removed during her development as a fetus, is hard to say this but, Leni your daughter is mute and she will never talk will likely never will" Lisa said causing everyone to gasp, Leni after hearing about it, tears begins to filled her eyes.

"Nooo! My baby" Leni cried as she hugs her daughter tight.

"I'm very sorry, Leni" Lincoln hugs her sister to comfort her as the rest of the family joined in.

"But there is a silver lining about this" Lisa said as everyone looked at her "even though the alterations removes her ability to speak, but the tradeoff of it is that her brain is more develop that most infants, meaning even in her age she more likely know a lot of basic words and numbers, and as she grows older her IQ would increase, not the same as me but higher than the average person" she added.

After Lisa explained about the silver lining, Leni begins to cheer up a bit "Your saying that my baby well grow up smart" she asked in a hopeful tone as Lisa nodded in response "You hear that, you're going to be smart when you grow up" she rubbed her cheek against her on which the baby smile.

"Well atleast their something good that came out of it, how do you feel now Leni?"

"I feel a bit better, but I'm still very sad about it, that I will never hear call me mommy or hear her first word" Leni sadly said with a downcast look.

"Hey how about this, we could teach her sign language or she can also text or write what word she is saying, I know is not same as speaking, but that the only way she could talk to us, how's that sound Leni?"

"Yeah, I guess I that's work with me" Leni said as the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, do you have a name for her?"

"A name... oh yeah, I already have one for her" Leni put her finger on her chin "What is it again, oh I know Liena, her name start with L and has a four letters on it, just like are family."

"Leni, I don't think her name has four letter" Lori said.

"Of course it is, it's L. I. E. N. A-" Leni pauses realizing that it has five letters instead of four "Oh, but I really like that name."

"Fine you can keep that name" Lori said as Leni joyfully cheered to have her daughter keep her name "Hey how about we all take a picture with Liena to welcome her to our family" she asked them and everyone agree, she picked up Loan to join in as everyone are all gather closely to each other while smiling at the camera, Lori snap a picture of her family with Lincoln and Leni at the center holding a smiling Liena.

Chapter 5: The Ritual

Chapter Text

Three months had passed since Liena arrived, Leni is very enthusiastic of raising a child of her own with her brother, unlike the three she has a running business to financially support Liena, making her very ahead of them who had theirs unexpectedly, after hearing about Liena's condition the Pingreys and Tempos send their regard to her and wishes them the best for her and Liena, Leni even she was still sad that she will never hear her daughter speak, is very happy for everyone's support and she would still loved and cared for Liena even with her condition.

The three children are excited to finally meet their younger 'niece' well only the two of them at least, Cecilia and Terry introduce themselves to her in different ways, Cecilia introduces herself in a polite and soft-spoken tone which makes the baby smile, while Terry speak in a loud and excited tone which makes the baby jumped and cries, Terry later apologize to her behavior and try to make her laugh by tickling her which she giggled and eventually stop crying. Loan on the other hand is very timid when meeting her niece, Lori tells her daughter to introduce herself to her, at first she is very hesitant before she slowly approaches her with Liena looking at her curiously, she wave her hand and introduces herself with a shaky voice and strained smile on which the baby smiles back at her.

After their introduction to Liena three days ago Lincoln and Leni begin learning sign language so they can communicate and teach Liena with it when she's old enough, Leni was struggling to learn it and had her brother mentor and correct her when she made a mistake, she was feeling overwhelmed by this, but she is determine to learn just like how she got her driver's license she well her best for daughter.

At the Royal Woods Cemetery in the afternoon, Lucy and the rest of the Mortician Club are all gather around a ritual circle performing a ritual of communicating with the spirit, as Lucy prepared herself to the ritual she could feel someone is looking at her as if asking for her attention, looking at her side she saw a familiar raven hair girl, wearing a purple dress looking at her.

"Hello Haiku, what seems to be the problem?" Lucy asked.

"There's no problem here dear Lucy, I'm just here to asked how's your brother taking care of his new spawn?"

"His doing fine as usual, having experience with the three his getting a lot better than before, why do ask?"

"I'm just curious about it... you know Lucy, your brother is always been like this, this caring and helpful especially with your siblings, he is like this even before he had his first-born, maybe that's the reason why he is so adept of being father, don't you think?"

"Yeah, maybe you're right" Lucy nodded at Haiku's comment.

She finds it strange that her best friend is becoming interested in Lincoln's father life, this isn't the first time she asked this, at first when she found out about Lincoln having Cecilia she only asked how he handle the situation, but when Lincoln had Terry she asked the question, but this time she was asking what he was doing with the first one, Lucy tells her the details of how he would care for her, after hearing it Haiku was very impressed by her brother's good nature. Then when Lincoln had Loan, she asked the same question, but this time she would asked about his relationship with the two, Lucy said that they are in good terms and seems very close, which leads her to becoming a bit curious, she would frequently asked her more about her brother's children and his relationship even to the point of directly asking him about it with Carol or Tabby.

Months later Haiku is starting interacting more with Lincoln, taking to him about his children and relationship or watching closely how he interacts with them, if not she could asked Lucy more about it, Lucy could see in Haiku's eyes a sense of longing, those frequent questions and interaction with her brother feels like she want the same thing as them, this confirms it when she asked her this question last year.

"Lucy, what do you think if your brother and I had one?"

"Huh?"

"You know Me and Lincoln having a child together, the same as them."

"What?"

"Sorry, that was a strange thing to ask."

That question confirms it all, she doesn't know when she had this thoughts and feelings about her brother, she always thought that she and Clyde had a thing going on, but she said that the moment they had together is only platonic and nothing had happen between the two of them, especially when he already meeting someone, before she could dive deeper into it someone interrupt her from her thoughts.

"Be quiet now, we are about to begin" Bertrand said, the two looked at each other one last time before they went back to their pose and begins the ritual. As they begin chanting a spell the circle begins to glows and whisper fills around the air, until suddenly something dropped from the sky, hitting Bertrand head and knocking him out, interrupting the ritual, everyone is shocked to see an unconscious body of Bertrand.

"Who would dare interrupt to our sacred ritual and do something so treacherous to our president!" Morpheus angrily said as he raises his fist.

"Who ever they are, they will pay for this!" Dante said holding a shovel with both hands.

"Look everyone, there's something on the ground" Persephone said as everyone turn to looked at the object pointed by her, it was a box with holes around it.

Lucy feeling that she know what's inside was the first to approach it as everyone followed soon.

Bertrand begin to wake up to and rubbed his head in pain, he notices all of the members are gather around something, so he stands up and went to see what's the commotion in there.

"What is going here?" he asked as he downward to see the box on the ground "W-what is that?" he added as Lucy opened the box and unfolds the white cloth inside to see something she expected to see it was a sleeping baby and a note in the side that reads.

'Mother: Haiku Nightgale Father: Lincoln Loud Gender: Female You can confirm it by a DNA test' reading it causes them to gasp in surprised as one of their members became one of Lincoln's mistresses, they all look to Haiku to see her cover her mouth in a state of shock, but Lucy seeing through the cover sees a small smile forming at Haiku's face.

At Tabby's house Lincoln with Terry on his lap are listening to her play the guitar in full volume, Terry is enjoying the music that her 'sisters' plays by jumping up and down while giggling to show her amusement, while Lincoln is analysing how she plays, he watch closely on her fingers moving in the string and listening intently to her chord and riffs, seeing her perform made him very happy to how much she is improving for past two years. After a minute or so Tabby plays her finale with intensity and finally poses with her arms on the air in a rockstar gesture once she finish the song.

"Thank You Royal Wood and Goodnight!" she shouted as if she was in a live concert "So Linc what do you think?" she asked looking a bit tired.

"That was amazing Tabby, you getting better at this, in time you might catch up to Luna" Lincoln said.

"Geez, Thanks Linc, I really appreciate it" Tabby said scratching her cheek that are tinged in red.

"Again! I wanna hear it again!" Terry shouted as she jumped excitedly while clapping her hand.

"Hahaha, maybe tomorrow little sis" Tabby said as she ruffles her hair which made Terry pout in disappointed, as Lincoln stands up his phone begins to ring, he grabs it up on his pocket and answered the phone.

"Hello?... Oh hey there Luce how's it going" he answered as he listens through the phone "What another one, by who!?" he shouted which make Tabby turn to look at him "I see, I'll be there for sec" he said and ended the call.

"What's the rush, Linc?"

"Well let's just say, I had another one" Lincoln said which made Tabby surprised.

"Who is it this time?"

"Do you remember Haiku?"

"You mean that goth chick at the Sadie Hawkins Dance, yeah a bit, so she the one?"

"Yep, she the one, anyways I'm gonna go now take care of Terry, bye!" Lincoln said as he mounted his bike and rides to the cemetery.

"Well see you see around Linc, say hi to her for me okay!" Tabby shouted as Lincoln gives her a thumbs up.

"Sis where is uncle Linky going?" Terry asked.

"Well his going to meet someone, and your about meet your new niece sis."

"Really!?" Terry asked as Tabby nodded which made her excited.

Minutes later he reaches the cemetery and begins searching for Lucy.

"Lucy, Everyone where are you!?" Lincoln shouts while looking around the cemetery.

"We right here Lincoln" Lucy said causing him jumped, he turns around to see Lucy and the rest of the Mortician Club member.

"Geez Luce, what the heck, well anyway I'm here now, since you are all here, where is Haiku by the way?" Lincoln asked as he looks for her.

"I'm also right here too" Haiku said causing him jumped again and clutching his chest tightly.

"Can you all stop doing that!" Lincoln yell as he inhale deeply to calmed down "Anyway is that the really her?" he asked pointing at the baby in her arms.

"Indeed, she is ours Lincoln, she quietly sleeping like the dead" Haiku said as cradles the baby, Lincoln is very disturb at last part "Do you want to hold?" she asked on which Lincoln agree as he grabs the baby in her arm.

While cradling her he notices something strange, the baby isn't making any movement worried he put his ear into her mouth, he hears a faint sound of breathing as barely any air comes out to her mouth, this made him realize something disturbing, that the baby is struggling to breath.

"Oh my god, Lucy call an ambulance now!"

"W-what wrong Lincoln?" Haiku asked.

"The baby, she is not breathing!" Lincoln shouted which made Lucy immediately start calling for help, upon hearing it everyone is shocked especially Haiku, who feels guilty for not noticing something is wrong, Lincoln quickly perform a CPR on the baby to trying stabilize her breathing, after doing so the baby was able to breathe normally which everyone sighed in relief.

After a while the ambulance finally arrived to take them to the hospital, there the baby was put in an incubator with a breathing mask on it, outside the room Lincoln, Lucy and Haiku are looking at her through the glass.

"Lincoln, I apologize for this" Haiku said in sad tone.

"For what?"

"For not noticing somethings wrong with her and not acting upon it" Haiku said while clutching her fist.

"H-hey, don't blame yourself Haiku, it's not your fault that this happened" Lincoln said trying to reassure her.

"I should be, if weren't for you she would have die there, we may be fascinated by death, but I don't want something like this to happen to her!" Haiku shouted as tears begins leak out of her eyes, Lucy noticing it went to hugged her to comfort her as Lincoln does the same thing to her, as they separate a nurse approach them.

"Hello there, Are you the Louds." she asked the three.

"Yes, yes we are... well me and Lucy are, Haiku is our friend... so how is she?" Lincoln asked in a worried tone.

"Well little sister has a bacterial infection on her lungs, which is the cause of her breathing difficulties" the nurse said which the three of them was shocked at this news "But don't worry, she is fine now, her health is stable and she is breathing normally, just next time don't get her near to anything unhygienic, she has a very weak immune system okay" she asked as the three of them nodded as the nurse walks away and leaves them alone.

"Oh boy, this is a lot worse than Liena" Lincoln said rubbing the back of his head.

"Lincoln" Lucy said causing Lincoln to jumped.

"Lucy, that not the time for that!"

"I apologizes brother, should I call our parent"

"Y-yeah, I guess you should call them" Lincoln said as Lucy calls their parents to come.

Lincoln sighed tiredly "Man, even though I been caring a lot of them, this is the first I had something so serious, I don't if I could handle something like this."

"I could help you with that" Haiku said in her usual monotone voice as Lincoln turns around to see her.

"Haiku?"

"Let me help you carry this burden of her."

"Are you sure, this isn't just a simple caring of a baby and I heard from Lucy that you don't have any siblings, meaning you don't have any experience of doing so."

"I know, our child's unfortunate fate would make her difficult to take care of and I don't have the skills to do so, but as her mother I will try my best to alleviate her from this burden and make her have a fulfilling life, please Lincoln, let me do this for her" Haiku said as she grabs both of his hands and grips it, Lincoln was very surprised to her commitment as such he sighed at this and smile at her.

"Wow, I didn't you had that in you, alright then if that's what you want then I will do the same too, it would be difficult but I could manage it, just like the rest."

Haiku smile and hugs him "Thank you Lincoln, you know how much this fill me with joy" she said as she planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Hehe, no problem" Lincoln said with his cheeks tinge in red "By the way, do you thought of a name for her."

"Of course, I've already thought about it a long time... I would name her Sonette."

Chapter 6: Visit for a Friend

Chapter Text

Four months had passed since the incident with Sonette, all of the Loud family came after being called to the hospital by Lucy, once inside they find the three of them, they all rushes to meet them and asked them where the baby is, as Lincoln points it through the glass window room where she is held, seeing her in the incubator with a breathing mask on, they asked what happen to her on which Lincoln explained that happens and the condition she had, after hearing about it makes them feel sorry for her state as say they regards for Haiku and her child, Haiku thanks them for it as she and Lincoln talks about how they fully accept themselves as a parent for Sonette and will take care of her even with her disability. Lincoln's parents despite having many grandchildren are very proud of him and would fully supports them and child and like Luna with Tabby, Lucy is happy to have her best friend being a part of the family.

Rita asked Haiku to call her parents to inform them about this and they will have a discussion about their child, she agreed as she begins calling her parents to come, as they wait for them a doctor approaches them to inform them that due to the babies condition she would likely to be hospitalized for a few years, this made everyone worried if Sonette would be okay, the doctor assures them she would be fine she just need more time and treatment before she could be cared outside, which made everyone a bit hopeful. After the conversation the parents asked if they could meet the baby in person which the doctor agreed and let them in, inside they gathered around Sonette's incubator where she is sleeping peacefully, Lincoln and Haiku was the first to greet her before everyone takes turn to greet themselves to her with Luan making a joke to lighten the mood, Loan and Liena meeting thier new 'niece' and Lisa secretly taking a sample of her, when is Lana's turn to greet her, everyone stop her on which she ask why, they explained that she is a walking poison to her and she should not touch her so recklessly, this made Lana angry but eventually understand because she was never been the cleaness person.

After an hour Haiku's parents arrived and meet with the Louds, they asked why their daughter are here which the Loud parents and Haiku explained everything to them, after hearing it the Nightgale parent... Did not take it well, the fact that their daughter had a illegitimate child with someone especially this child is very ill is unacceptable to them, the Loud parent try to reason with them but they're not convinced and immediately leaves the hospital with Haiku saying that they should keep that child then tells their their daughter to not get involved with them, she wanted to argue but she reluctant with them and leaves with them.

Despite being warned by her parents, Haiku not wanting to be seperated to her daughter is secretly visiting the hospital to check on her, the Mortician Club seeing the bond between her and the baby sees it as admirable and tragic are willing to help her sneak behind her parents thinking that she was performing some rituals with them. Visiting the hospital where she meets Lincoln looking after her, he was surprised to see her here and worried that she would get in trouble with her parents, but she said that she had help and not let something like her parents prevent her from meeting her daughter because she needed her mother as much as she needed him.

As months went by, the two became close as they bonded from all the visit they for Sonette and she begins to see all the good things he had, he's very caring and attentive for sickly daughter, he's patient when teaching her how to properly care for their daughter and has an artistic soul that impresses her with poetry and drawing, those qualities made her a admirable and a bit attractive.

After that event Lincoln along with Lori, Leni, Carol and their children are in Lori's car driving towards Great Lake City, they are going because the Casagrande's invited them to Ronnie Anne's birthday, Lincoln being months since he sees her, wants to go there to her party and same as the three wanting to go there to they can introduce their children to them, Terry is left on the Tempo's care, while Sonette is obviously still in the hospital being care by Haiku and his parents. The two said their happy birthday to Ronnie Anne with Tabby jokingly said to Lincoln to not have another one in their which he just laughed it off.

After hours of driving they finally arrived at the Casagrade apartment, with a gift on Lincoln's hand they all enter where they meet Ronnie's family, friends and other guest.

"Lori, Lincoln, Leni and Carol, I'm glad all of you could make it" Bobby said as he approahes Lori to give her a hug.

"Thank you for inviting us, Bobby" Lori said as the two went to embraced each other.

"By the way, where is the other two, are they here."

"Oh Tabby is busy practicing so Terry is with her and Haiku is watching Sonette in the hospital." Lincoln said rubbing the back of his head.

"I see, I was hoping to meet them and their children."

"Sorry that they couldn't come here today."

"That's okay bro, maybe next time."

"Lori, Leni, Carol it's been a long" a new voice calls them out.

"Whitney, it's good to see you again, how are you!" Carol said as she embraced her with a hug.

"I been doing good, sorry for being late Bobby" Whitney said.

"Not at all babe, the party hasn't started yet."

Bobby after 3 months of breaking up with Lori due to her being busy with Loan he started a relationship with Lori's old friend Whitney, after graduating college she move to Great Lake City to find a job there, this is where she meets him, after hearing his break up with Lori she comforts him and said that he would the right one for him, as time went on, the two started talking and hanging up with each other which eventually blooms into a relationship, Lori was very happy that he was able to find someone to love and they remain close friends after that.

"Hey there Whitney, I'm glad you two are doing well" Lori said.

"Thanks Lori, I hope you and Loan are doing well, speaking of her where is she by the way?" Whitney asked as Lori looked behind her leg to see Loan hiding behind.

"Hey there Loan, is nice to finally meet you!" Whitney lean down to greet her.

"Uhm... hello" Loan said softly.

"Hahaha... she not very fond with people, don't worry she will get around" Carol said "Anyway I also like you to meet my sweet snow Cecilia."

"Hello I'm Cecilia Pingrey, nice to meet."

"Ah your so sweet, nice to meet you too" Whitney happily greet back.

As the they continue their conversation about their lives, Lincoln was looking around the party and trying to find Ronnie Anne, until a voice calls to him.

"Linc is that you!?" a voice calls him behind.

"Its been a while since we see each cottontops" another voice calls him too, as he turns around he sees a two familiar faces smiling at him.

"Oh, hey there Sid, Nikki how are you two been doing."

"Eh, not much happen, I didn't expect you to be here, I thought you be busy babysitting your 'nieces'.' Nikki said.

"Yeah, We thought that you would forget about us, since you have gal pals to keep you company" Sid said in a dramatic tone.

"Come on guys, nothing happen between us, plus I wouldn't forget something as my best friend's birthday" Lincoln said as someone punched him in the arm.

"And you will always remember it, or I might drag you here by myself" Lincoln hearing a familiar voice looked this his side and find someone he was looking for.

"Ow! Hey there Ronnie Anne" Lincoln said as he rubbed his arm.

"Glad your here Lame-O" Ronnie said as she hugs Lincoln.

"Of course I am, I wouldn't miss coming to your birthday, and I have a present for you, I wouldn't give you anything empty handed in your party."

"Well that's nice of you put that in there, we're about to start" Ronnie said as Lincoln puts the present in the table and follows her with Sid and Nikki following behind.

As the party started everyone there is singing a happy birthday song to Ronnie before she blows the candle out, after that the guest begin eating and talking to each other with Lincoln doing it with Ronnie Anne and her friends, before being called by her mother for a family picture.

"So since Santiago is busy, can I asked you question cottontops" Nikki asked.

"Yeah, what is it Nikki?"

"What's Royal Woods looks like anyway?"

"Why do you, asked that?"

"Well you see, my parent was lay off from their work weeks ago, but they were able to find work there."

"You saying that you are moving in Royal Woods!?"

"Yeah, we will be moving next week."

"Are going to miss being here?"

"Of course I am, I'm been living in this city for my entire life, I made many memories here with my friends, I don't know if I'm ready to leave here" Nikki sighed.

"Yeah, I know that feeling too, when Ronnie Anne moves out I feel a bit sad about it and she would say in our call on how much she misses Royal Woods, but over time she had fond here, make new friends like you two and we still remain good friends even if we are far away. I know this would happen to you and don't worry I would show you around and let you meet yy friends when you arrive" Lincoln said causing her to smile.

"Thanks man I guess I wouldn't be a stranger there."

"Don't worry Nikki, me Ronnie will always call you there" Sid said reassuring her.

After the conversation, Lincoln and everyone in the party is gather around Ronnie as she begins opening the present she is given including one with Lincoln, after opening his present and being joyful about his gift, it was Nikki turn as Ronnie begins opening her present.

"So Nikki, what present did you get for her?" Lincoln asked.

Nikki nervously laugh "That's a secret dude, she is going to be very surprised of what I got for her" She said as Lincoln look at Sid and she simply shrug at him.

As Ronnie opens the present, just like Nikki she was surprised and shock to see was inside as everyone looks at it and have the same expression as her, while Lincoln sighed at what his looking at, it was a sleeping baby again, but the most surprising at all that this one is not for her.

'Mother: Nikki Smith Father: Lincoln Loud Gender: Female You can confirm it by a DNA test' the note said as everyone looks at her seeing that she is sweating and laughing nervously.

"Hahaha, wow that was unexpected, I didn't know there's a baby in their" Nikki said nervously continuing to laugh.

"Nikki, where the heck did you even get that in the first place!" Sameer asked.

"What make that one is mine" Nikki said as Ronnie Anne glares at her as she shows her the name that she written on the box, seeing it she could no longer denied it and sighed "Alright, that truth is that I got it from someone hours ago."

(Flashback 2 hours ago)

Somewhere Nikki, Sameer, Casey and Laird is walking in the streets towards the Casagrade's to attend Ronnie's birthday with there own gift except for one.

"So Nikki, what present do you have?" Casey asked.

"Well it's aaahh..."

"You forgot did you, dude you promise that you would give Ronnie a goodbye gift before you leave, remember" Sameer said.

"Of course I remember, I just forgot that left it home, I'm just gonna get it" Nikki said as she runs away to "get" her present at home.

"Damn it, how could I forget something like that, gosh, I need to find something to give her quickly!" Nikki said franticly looking around.

"You seem to be having trouble dear" a voice to her as she turn around a dark alley.

"Uhm... Hello!" she said as a hooded figure emerges from the alley.

"I have something that you were asking for" the figure pulls a wrapped present in their bag as they hadded it to Nikki.

"Uhh, thanks, but I don't think I should be taking this from-" before she could finish the figure was gone, Nikki looking at the present at her hand could only sigh as she takes it with her.

(Flashback Ends)

"So you just got that from a random weirdo from the alley and think would good idea to give it to me" Ronnie Anne said hardening her glare.

"Hey I wasn't gonna to take it before they just disappear" Nikki shot back.

As everyone talks about the situation, the baby wakes up and cries due to the noise, Lincoln hearing a baby cry active his paternal instinct as he rushes towards her and grabs her out of the box as he cradles her to sleep.

"Shhh... It's okay little one, your safe now" Lincoln whisper as the baby stopped crying and went back to sleep with a slime on her face.

"Wow, I'm impressed that Lincoln was able to calm down that baby" Whitney said.

"Well, Lincoln is been doing this for years now, his become natural at this" Carol said.

"Yeah, Linky is the best dad a baby could asked for, just like what he did with my little Liena" Leni said as Lincoln looked at Nikki.

"Nikki, do you want to hold her?"

"Why do you ask that?" Nikki nervously asked.

"Well your her mother and she kinda needs her mother's touch, if you want to do it" Lincoln said, Nikki is hesitate at first before she takes the baby and holds it in her arms.

"So, what do want to do with her?" Lincoln bluntly asked which surprises Nikki.

"I don't know dude, t-this is very unexpected that this happen to me, if my parent hear about this they would not very happy."

"I understand that, if you don't want to or not ready yet, I could just take her for you" Lincoln said.

"Are you sure? I know that you could take care of her, but don't you think that your getting a lot of them?"

"Maybe, but there nothing we could do about it, it just a matter of if you want it or not, so I just accepted it and prepare myself if more would come" Lincoln said in a nonchalant tone.

After hearing about this, Nikki sighed "Well if that's what your gonna do, then I should probably help you with her" she said surprising her friends.

"Nikki, are you sure, I'm not forcing you to do this."

"I know, especially what I said before, it's just don't want you take all of it on your own, plus it's my fault for bringing her here anyway."

"Well even if you don't bring her here, they would likely find other ways to give her to us, and my family and the other girls would help me with her."

"That's besides the point, what I'm saying is that if the other girls can accept theirs, then I should probably do it to and I know that I can trust you with this."

Lincoln after hearing it, genuinely smiled at her "Well since you will be moving to Royal Woods then we would have a deal, that when you arrive there we will take care of her, right" Lincoln said as he reach out his hand to her.

"Right, I will" Nikki said as she takes his hand in a handshake and smiled back at him.

"Man I didn't expect that Nikki would have a doorstep baby with Lincoln of all people" Sameer said.

"Yeah, the fact that she will be moving to Royal Woods next week is a strange coincidence, don't you think" Laird said.

"Maybe, at least that wasn't your Ronnie Anne" Casey said.

"Yeah, I am very lucky" Ronnie muttered while glaring at them.

"RA, are you okay, you seem upset" Sid said.

"Yeah, I'm upset that someone would do this to Nikki" Ronnie Anne said continuing to glare at them. Seeing Lincoln having a child with one of her friends made her feel something that been bothering her the moment she heard that Lincoln had a doorstep baby with the other girls, this feelings begins to grow the more she heard of it, it was jealousy towards Nikki and the other girls he had a child with.

Chapter 7: The Concert

Chapter Text

Another two years had passed since Ronnie Anne's birthday, Nikki and her family moved out of Great Lake City, saying goodbye to her friends and went to Royal Woods week later, their the Smith's are called upon the Loud House with the Pingrey and Tempo's and they talked about Lincoln and Nikki's situation, after the conversation the Smith's is seems to be accepting of it and completely trust Lincoln to take care of Nikki and their child after learning his a capable father and partner, which Nikki blushes at the thought of being with him and the two decided to name their daughter Vikki, they done DNA test on her and see that she has no alterations on her DNA, meaning unlike the last two she is relatively normal, Lisa comment to the lack of alterations due to the person responsible giving up or just postponing it until they improve, either way Vikki is completely fine which made Lincoln feel relief about it and pities the two for being treated as lab rat.

Weeks later Nikki is enroll to the same high school as Lincoln, he would introduced her to his friends and the other girls he had a child with, when they meet her Lincoln's friends would her about her life before here, her hobbies and interests and her thoughts of having a baby with Lincoln, while the girls would talk about their experience with their babies and their relationship with the albino boy to her. As time went on she grown accustomed to Royal Woods by forming a friendships with Lincoln and his friends and support from the girls, she still misses Great Lake, she would call her friends about their lives there and would visit them with Lincoln and Vikki with her, but she was able to find solace because of them. Nikki and Lincoln's relationship has grown closer, she always thought that he was cool dude when he would visit Ronnie Anne as they hang up and talking with each other, doing all of those with him make feel something for him that she never understand, but now being so close with him she begin to see why her and the others have a liking to him.

During those time many things change, Cecilia, Terry and Loan finally entered Preshcool and they showcase their personalities in class, Cecilia is well-mannered and polite to the teachers but not very tolerant when it comes to her classmates messes and noise, Terry is very friendly and playful with her classmates but a bit of a troublemaker and Loan is still very shy with other people and would cling to her 'niece' for comfort. Just like them two years ago the second three begins to show their personalities Liena is kind and cheerful just like her mother and has a liking towards plants and gardening, Sonette is reserved just like her mother and likes to read and has an interest in Japanese literature after hearing some of Hiaku's hiaku and Vikki is carefree, easygoing and likes to get herself involved with her family activities mainly with Terry, her 'sister' and her 'uncle'.

Lincoln's relationship with the girls has become more intimate, Carol is more affectionate than before, instead getting a head pat, she would kiss him a lot and most of them towards the lips like someone giving it their lover and when go out they hold hands and she would rest her head to his shoulder.

Tabby and Nikki becomes more risque when it come to showing affection, they start flirting with him and would drag him to their house or any private corner of the school for a 'private session', Carol would likely do those things with him, but she is not confident to do it for now.

Lastly is Haiku she is like the combination of the two where she would show him intimacy and affection just like Carol does then other times she would be sexual with him like Tabby and Nikki does, but she is a bit gentle than the two.

The most stranges of all of it was his two older sister, his relationship with them has become less familial, Lori has become more flirtatious and sometimes provocative with her brother this is more clear when she is drunk, same as Leni but she too naive to go that far than just cuddles and kisses some of which from the lips, they would treat him like a lover than brother, which made him uncomfortable, but over time he would feel the same for them and they hide their taboo relationship to their family and friends except to the girls which they seems okay with it and willingly keep it hidden from anyone else.

Luna finally achieves her goal of becoming a rockstar and starting touring around the country with her band, with them wrapping up their last concert before heading towards Great Lake for their last concert on the tour.

"Woah, that was a awesome you guys!" Luna enthusiastically said.

"Yeah, you were the star on the show, Luna" Sam said wrapping her arm around her neck.

"Thanks babe, but all of us is the star of show."

As the band continues to talk about their show with Chuck carrying their equipment they notices that their van was open, fearing that someone broke in they rushes inside, to their relief the van is still intact but they see something inside, it was a box the band doesn't remember having it inside but Luna after seeing and hearing about it multiple time had a feeling that she knows what in there, so she grabs the box and opens it and see something that she was expecting it was sleeping baby again with a note on the side that reads.

'Mother: Luna Loud Father: Lincoln Loud Gender: Female You can confirm it by a DNA test'

"Yep, we have another one and this one is for me and my bro." Luna said not being surprised by this "Well I should call him about this" she said as she picks up and dials to her phone.

"Damn, I thought I would be next on the line" Sam said causing the rest of the band to look at her in confusion "What!? Luna's brother is a cool dude, I would mind having one with him, plus Luna is totally cool with it" she said with a grin which leads them to look at each other, before they decide to not question it further.

Meanwhile in the Royal Woods Hospital Lincoln and Haiku are with Sonette in her room, with Haiku reading a HP Lovecraft Call of Cthulhu to her as she listen with interest to the story.

"Hey Ku, do you think she's a bit too young to be reading it" Lincoln asked.

Haiku giggles at his questions "Don't worry dear, fear is just part of the experience a child must overcome, plus she seems to be enjoying the story" she said as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Hehe... I guess your right" He said as Haiku continues reading the story to Sonette.

During those two years Sonette's is been doing fine after her hospitalization years ago and would be dismissed next year, Haiku's parent is still oblivious to what their daughter been doing thanks to the Mortician club, and the most surprising of all is Haiku, in the surface she seems to be dark and gloomy but beneath it she had a side that she only show on two people, on Sonette she is caring, affectionate and protective of her, while Lincoln she is romantic and sometimes flirtatious to him. Lincoln was very surprised to see her like this but welcome one for sure, after reading her the story Sonntte fell asleep as Haiku tucked her in her bed to make her comfortable, suddenly Lincoln begins to ring on his pocket.

"Hello!" he answered "Oh, hey there Lunes what's up, how's it going there... Another one... Where did you find it?.. I see, we'll meet there... Say hi, to Sam and the others to me" he said before ending the call.

"So who is it, this time, is it one of your sister?" Haiku asked.

"Yep, and this time is Luna, we will meet them in three days at their concert in Great Lake City, I should tell this to everyone."

"Well I'm very to happy that a another soul had join to our brood."

"Thanks I guess, man Nikki was right, this is getting a bit too much."

"Lincoln, don't feel overwhelmed, we are here to carry this burden with you" Haiku said with a smile which also made him smile.

Three day later the Loud family arrived in Great Lake City with Tabby and Nikki and their 'sister' in time for Luna's Concert to meet a new member of the family.

"Sup everyone, it's good to see" Luna greeted before turning to Lincoln "Especially you too bro" she said smiling at him.

"Yeah, nice to see you too Luna" Lincoln greet back at her.

"So where's Lori, Lucy and the rest of the gals" Luna asked.

"Oh, Lori and Carol are busy with their job, so I just bring Cecilia and Loan with us, as for Haiku you know the usual she staying with Sonette in the hospital, she is accompany by Lucy back there" Lincoln said.

"Well that's a bummer, I was hoping for a full family concert tonight."

"That's okay Luna, they might get around someday" Lincoln reassured "Anyway how's the trip so far" he asked.

"It was awesome dude, our last trip was probably the best one yet, and this will be our last concertin our trip, I hope your happy to see me in the stage" Luna said excitement "speaking of which, their also someone who is happy to see you to all."

"Oh yeah, I'm excited to meet that little fella of your Luna" Tabby said.

"Yeah, I want to meet her too!" Terry said in excitement.

"Well I hope she wouldn't be as annoying as aunt Luna" Cecilia bluntly said.

"Alright, alright you two, just wait here for sec." Luna said as she walks away, Nikki on the other hand is looking around the place.

"Nikki, what are you doing?" Lincoln asked.

"I'm trying to find Santiago and Chang, they said they should be here now" Nikki answer.

"Eh, maybe they are running a bit late" Lincoln said before punched in the arm.

"Well not anymore Lame-O, cause we are already here before you two" Ronnie Anne said as Lincoln rubbed his arm and turn to his side to see her and Sid together.

"Sup, dudes it's been a while" Nikki greeted them.

"Hey there Nikki, so it's true that you had another one?" Sid asked.

"Yep, I had a another one, it's been two years since had one, and Luna is showing us to her for bit" Lincoln said.

"That's awesome, I can't wait to meet her" Sid said in excitement.

"Yeah... I can't wait to meet her too" Ronnie Anne growled with her arms cross.

"Speaking of meeting someone, where's that little rascal of yours Nikki, it's been a while since she visit her aunts" Sid asked as Nikki called Vikki to meet with her friend

As they wait there for a while, Luna finally return with the baby in her hand as they rushes towards her and gathered to see the baby.

"Well there she is, family meet Lyra, our newest member in the family" Luna said and she show the baby to them as Lyra look at them in curiosity, everyone greeted themselves to ter one by one before someone called for Luna.

"Luna we are about to start now!" someone yell.

"Oh, coming Sam, sorry guys I could talk more about Lyra, but we have big show tonight, so Linc can you hold her for sec" Luna said as she handed Lyra to him.

"Sure thing Luna, but I don't think is a good idea to bring in the concert in the first" Lincoln said.

"I do have trick in my sleeves for that" Luan said as she puts an earmuff on Lyra "Now her ears are muffled to hear the music, Get it!" Luan joked with everyone groaning at it.

"Well I'm gonna go now, watch her over for me!" Luna yelled as she runs toward Sam, and Sam seeing Lincoln holding Lyra calls him.

"Hey there Linc, congratulations for a dad!" Sam said.

"Thanks Sam, but I'm already one myself, or you'll could say many time myself!" Lincoln said.

"Well I hope you wouldn't mind having another one, do you!" Sam said bitting her lower lip.

"Let's not talk about that Sam" Luna whisper with her cheek redden as she pushes her to the stage. The Louds are gather in the front row as the band appears in the stage.

"WHAT'S UP GREAT LAKE CITY FOLKS, WE ARE THE MOON GOATS!" Luna yelled as the crowds cheered loudly "AND WE ARE HERE TO GIVE YOU THE ROCK N ROLL OF YOUR LIFE!" she added as more cheering can heard as they begin playing their song, with the Louds enjoying with Lyra not understanding what going on or hearing anything at all is also enjoying herself after seeing everyone smile.

On the side Ronnie Anne is looking at Lincoln and Lyra enjoying themselves as she looks at them in contempt.

"Ronnie Anne, are you still jealous of not having one with Lincoln?" Sid asked as she noticed her friend's attitude.

"Pssh... As if, you know that me and Lame-O are just friends and I'm not interested something like that!" Ronnie Anne said, denying her accusations as she went back to looking at them, Sid can only sighed at her friend's denial.
