Lincoln Loud, now at the age of 18, was currently living in a two-bedroom apartment in Royal Woods. He didn't live with anyone else, but the Apartment was something he could afford with the money he saved up in his bank and what he had earned being an artist on the web and even doing a few commissions, as well as working for a repair company. The second room was just a guest bedroom if any of his siblings needed a place to stay or visit for the night.

The only person who really slept there with him on a somewhat daily basis was his girlfriend, Jordan Rivers, once known as Girl Jordan back in the day. And when she slept over she slept with him in his bed.

Then there was Max.

Max was a black pitbull terrier and the son of Charles, yeah, apparently Charles got around before he passed. Lincoln had Max for about a year now, as for his relationship with Jordan, they have been in a relationship for nearly two years now.

It's been an amazing 7 years so far. There were some bumps in the road but nothing he couldn't handle and nothing he couldn't go to his family for.

Speaking of his family, his parents were still taking care of Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, and Lily.

Lori and Bobby got married 4 years ago and just had a kid last month, a baby boy named Bobby Jr, or BJ (Lincoln felt bad for his nephew). Lori herself was doing really well, She and Bobby were both living in Great Lakes, she worked at a law firm while Bobby now own and still ran the bodega.

Leni and Chaz just got married a year ago and Leni's running her own small fashion place with him. Both had moved to L.A. which Leni enjoyed very much, though she always complained about the heat.

Luna and Sam have been together for a long time though neither thought it was the right time to pop the question. Both of them, along with Sully and Mazzy are on tour right now, they're not well known, but they're getting there. When they weren't on tour, they would come back to Royal Woods.

Luan is actually doing her first tour on the road with Benny and Giggles. Luan and Benny had just recently started dating since she got back from college and Giggles was asked to join them since her acts in around Michigan had been blowing up on social media.

As for Lynn, well she also has her own apartment in Royal Woods and is the P.E. teacher at Royal Woods Middle School, though she also helped run a sporting store with Margo.

Yep, it seemed everything was working out for the Loud Family.

Right now, Lincoln was currently heading down to the parking lot to go and get pick up some groceries that he needed. On his list was bread, Tuna, Peanut Butter, a bag of salad, two jugs of milk, a carton of eggs, a box of cereal, some frozen dinners, a few bags of Chips, some Ink for his printer, and a few new games for himself to play or when Lily and the others came over.

He was about to leave when there was a sudden knock on his door, he walked over to it and looked through the peephole. There standing was a small girl, she had long dark brown hair that went past her shoulders, she wore a white cap that looked similar to that of a sailor's captain hat and seemed a bit too big for her, she also wore a black skirt with three small red lines going across them and he could tell she was wearing a pair of sandals since he could see a hint of her toes.

Lincoln opened the door and looked down at her and with a better look, the girl was up to his waist and looked to be around 6 or 7 and he got a better look at her eyes, which we light brown, she also had some freckles on her face.

The girl looked up at him with a raised brow, while pushing the sailors hat out of her face, "Are You Mr. Lincoln Loud?" the little girl asked.

Lincoln was a little confused as to how the girl had known his name, but he nodded. "Um, yeah, that's me" Lincoln replied, "How do you-"

"NAOMI!"

Lincoln and the little girl looked to their right only to see a young woman with curly brown hair and light green eyes, she wore an orange tube top under a brown leather jacket and a pair of black leggings with knee-high brown boots. She walked over and hugged the girl, whose name was apparently Naomi, and broke the hug and looked at her

"I told you not to wander off!" The woman cried "What if you got hurt or god forbid someone took you from me, do you know how worried I was!?"

Naomi looked down and the white cap fell forward as well and covered a bit of her head, "I'm sorry Mom... But I found that guy you were looking for!"

"Huh?" She asked.

The woman looked over to Lincoln and her eyes widened, Lincoln looked at her and his eyes widened as he also recognized her. "Quinn? Quinn Timbers right?" Lincoln asked

"Yeah" The Woman, now known as Quinn replied.

"Oh wow! I remember you, you used to babysit for my parents" Lincoln said with a smile. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

Quinn took a deep breath in before exhaling and looked to Lincoln, "Well it's like my daughter said, I came here looking for you"

"For me? What for?"

"There's something really important I need to tell you and I thought now was the best time as ever," She said "Do you mind if we come in and talk?"

Lincoln gestured for the two to come in and then closed the door behind them.

Once inside, Quinn looked at Lincoln, "Would it be ok if Naomi watched some TV while we talked?" Quinn asked.

Lincoln nodded, "Sure" Lincoln replied, "The Remote's just on the table and the living room's just right over there,"

Naomi nodded and thanked Lincoln before going over to the Tv, turning it on and flipping through some channels until she got on a cartoon program. Meanwhile Lincoln and Quinn sat in the kitchen.

"Can I get you something to drink?" Lincoln asked her.

Quinn shook her head, "No, Naomi and I just ate before we came here," Quinn said "But thank you,"

Lincoln nodded and sat across from Quinn and looked at her, "So what did you want to talk to me about?" Lincoln asked.

Quinn took in a deep breath before letting it out, "Lincoln... there's no easy way to say this, and I know how baffling this has to be for you and I know how bad and sudden this all is but..."

"But what Quinn?"

"It's Naomi... she's your daughter"
