Loud Visions 2

Chapter 13

            It took them a while to calm down when the sisters woke up. There was a lot of "LINCOLN CAN TELEPORT LIKE JUMPER??!!!" They paraded him with questions, and Lincoln did his best to answer them, but he didn't have a clue how these new powers came to him. Lisa was more than eager to study him, but Lincoln insisted she save it for tomorrow. Rita was equally surprised when she came home. 

With that, everyone brushed and flossed their teeth and headed for bed. Lincoln gave Lana a very heartfelt and reassuring goodnight before she went to bed with Luna and Luan. Lola, of course, didn't want that bedroom all to herself, so she slept with Lori and Leni.

Thankfully for Lynn, it was her turn on the bed clock, and like always, she curled up real close in his arms, feeling safe and secure. Lincoln held her close and planted a few kisses on her head as he gently stroked her hair.

Lynn's dream

Lynn woke up sitting in a chair. Like the other dream, she was grown up and not a hobo – much to her relief. She wore jeans, knee-high boots, and a red sweater with her hair out. She looked over and saw her brother, tall, strong, and handsome as ever, as he walked down the stairs. He wore an orange sweater over his white collared shirt, loose blue jeans, and winter boots. He grabbed his black coat and Lynn's red coat.

He turned to her, "You ready to go?"

Lynn hesitantly answered, "Y-Yeah, I'm ready."

She got up and grabbed her coat as Lincoln handed it to her. Once they both had their coats and hats on, they walked outside. It was winter, with snow everywhere and a gentle cold breeze blowing. There were still some Christmas decorations and dried-up Christmas trees sitting on the curb, ready to be taken to the dump. There wasn't a cloud to be seen, and the sky was so blue. The sun made the snow shine brightly.

Lincoln put on a pair of sunglasses, but Lynn didn't have any. She clung to her brother's arm as she walked with him while resting her head on his shoulder, only closing her eyes when it was too bright. She didn't know where they were going, and she didn't care. She was happy as long as she was with Lincoln – she didn't want to be anywhere else. Sometimes, she wanted the world to just stop and let her have this forever.

"Lynn," Lincoln spoke.

"Yeah?" Lynn asked while still resting her head on his shoulder.

"I got some news to tell you."

Lynn opened her eyes and dreaded that it was anything bad. She lifted her head to look at him with a serious look.

"Lucy's pregnant," Lincoln said.

Lynn's eyes widened with a smile, "What?"

"Yeah. She's going to have a baby. She found out yesterday."

"Well, that's fantastic! That's good, right?"

"Yeah, it's good. It's what she had wanted for a while now. She's gonna be part of the inner circle of sibling parents."

Lynn tried to use her current mind and memories, but they were vague. She had to figure out how to ask Lincoln without being too weird.

"Uh, Lincoln. Can you refresh my memory? There are so many of us. It's such a big family. How many kids are there?" Lynn asked.

"Umm, let's see," Lincoln thought as he looked up at the sky, "Lori has her two sons and her daughter. That's three. Leni has a son and a daughter. That makes five. Luna and her adopted son. That's six. Luan and her two sons. That's eight. There's you and your twin daughters. That's ten. There's my son and my two daughters. That's thirteen in total."
