Loud House: Lincoln's New Family (Book 2, SERIES DISCONTINUED)

Back Home

Back in Royal Woods, Michigan, it was only 7 AM. Keep in mind, the Philippines is ahead by 14 hours. The family was debating whether to go and find Lincoln or leave him behind for good.

Luna, Lana, Leni, and Lucy were the ones who wanted to find Lincoln and [try to] convince him to come back home (Lily did too, but she's too young to debate), but everyone else, especially people like Lola and Lynn, wanted to ditch him.

"It's too dangerous! He put us in danger multiple times! It's for the better good to leave him behind!" Rita claimed to the family.

"He saved our lives, though!" Leni testified.

"Uhm, don't forget that he literally endangered us multiple times!" Lola snapped.

"Besides, he's in the Philippines, how the heck would we even find him there?! Those goons that came here took Lisa's tracking device!" Lynn agreed with Lola.

Lisa did have the resources to track Lincoln's phone, but she didn't say anything because she did not want to trace down Lincoln, not yet, anyway.

"He's our only brother, though, he's not replaceable," Lucy protested in Lincoln's favor.

"Lori texted me earlier and gave me her opinion. She said that she hoped to never see him again. She's right, he's putting us in danger," Lola said.

"Besides, that guy Steve freaked me out, and he wasn't much better," Lynn recalled.

"Hey, don't talk trash about Steve, he was awesome!" Lana yelled.

"Yeah, and it's your fault, Lynn. You murdered Clyde, making Lincoln run away, making him get kidnapped, making him evil, making him kill and lie, and making him hide in the Philippines," Lucy said.

Lynn couldn't say anything about that, as everyone knew Lucy was right.

"He's ancient history now. I say we let him deal with his own problems, because if we get involved then we will get in trouble, too, possibly," Lisa explained.

"How do we even know he's alive right now? He was being hunted not too long after he left, and as Lisa said, it would put us in danger, too," Lynn Sr. said.

"Man, you know what?" Luna said as she got up, "You guys are stupid. It's always about you, never about him or even us. All you and Mom care about is yourselves."

"Luna, recall one time we refused to help Lincoln!" Lynn Sr. said, and Luna easily recalled, "Oh, when you guys refused to break up the rumble we had, or when you refused to go search for him right away."

"Well, we're still not finding Lincoln! So, there you go, rockstar!" Lynn Sr. snapped

Luna groaned and marched upstairs where she slammed her door.

"That was harsh of her, who cares about Lincoln, anyway?!" Luan asked.

Everybody except for Leni, Lana, Lucy (and Lily) laughed. Soon, though, very soon, they would realize that they would need him.

.............

The next morning, the family woke up, and some people even joked about Lincoln's absence. They wouldn't have the last laugh, though, because they would need him.

"Hey, why did nobody take out the trash in here?!" Lola yelled from the bathroom.

"That's Lincoln's job!" Lucy replied.

"Well, tell that bum to come back at taking out the trash like he was meant to do!!" Lola screamed.

"I need some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! Lori, Leni, Mom, Dad, somebody?!" Lisa yelled from the kitchen downstairs.

"Didn't Lincoln always make you those?" Lana asked.

"Yes, and he did a good job," Lisa agreed.

"I know you miss him, you just refuse to admit it. Without him, this family will crash and burn," Lana finished while exiting the kitchen.

"Who's gonna train with me after school today?" Lynn asked from upstairs.

"Lincoln ain't here, bro. Good luck trying to find somebody," Luna cocked.

"Also, who's going to help me with my birthday party event this afternoon?" Luan asked from the bathroom.

"Lincoln was your assistant, but since you don't want him here, guess your business will fail!" Leni remarked.

Whether they didn't want to admit it or not, everybody did need Lincoln in their lives. 

"Do you know what this means?" Lynn asked Lisa, Lola, and Luan as they regrouped into the living room.

"WE GOTTA GET LINCOLN BACK!!!" They synchronously yelled.

The sisters dashed to their parents' room where they found them in despair, as well.

"Guys, we need to-" Luan began to say.

"We know. We heard you. We agree because we need him to do multiple chores and Pop Pop really misses him. The last thing I want is for my dad to be depressed," Rita stated.

Lynn Sr. announced a family meeting in the living room, where he started by saying, "Before you kids go to school, we decided that we will need to search for Lincoln. We'll leave less than a week from now. Lisa, you still got that phone tracker?" 

Even though Darius (one of Lincoln's former colleagues) smashed Lincoln's old phone, he has since gotten a new one.

"You bet I do. I'll get it," Lisa explained.

"Okay, but you guys still have school. Today's Friday, so we have the whole weekend to decide things," Rita said.

"We'll probably be lucky if he's even still alive," Lana joked.

Steve and Lincoln were still alive but in a crippled condition.

Back at the hospital, Lincoln and Steve were in separate rooms but were across from each other in the hallway.

"Mr. Loud, it seems you have a visitor," a doctor told Lincoln.

"If it's two men, do NOT let them in," Lincoln assured.

The doctor opened the door and in came a girl, but not Stella...it was Lori.

"Hi, Lincoln," she greeted.

Lincoln was shocked and nervous, let alone happy, but his happiness would soon fade.
