a brothers return

chapter 2

The Loud family are now back inside their house and with Lincoln now there as well. The Loud parents are standing next to the small table in the living room, both of them are still showing emotions from seeing their long lost son, Lori and Luna are standing behind the couch and Leni who is holding Lily, Luan, Lana who just fed Charles, Lola, Lynn, Lucy and Lisa are all sitting on the couch looking at their parents and Lincoln. The younger Loud sisters are very confused at what's happening and the older sisters seem to be more aware of who Lincoln is.

Rita who is now hugging Lincoln says "My baby is back! I can't believe this, You're back home with us!" While the Loud mom is hugging Lincoln with Lynn Sr standing behind them, the younger Loud sisters are so confused at everything that happened and Lola lets her feelings be known.

"Wait I'm confused, so this is our brother?"

"Yeah dude I know this is confusing but it's true." Luna said replying to Lola.

"This is weird, we have a brother and why are we just now meeting him?" Lola asked after Luna's answer. Everything goes quite as everyone thinks about the situation until

"When Lincoln was gone Lucy was 1 years old, so that's why you guys don't know much about him." Lori said breaking the silents and getting the attention of her younger sisters.

"Me, mom, dad, Leni, Luna, Luan and Lynn were the only ones who know about Lincoln."

"So eldest sister let me make sure I have a clear understanding about this development, so we have a male eldest sibling that we had no prior knowledge of and now he has required this resurgence back here." Silents in the living room as the Loud parents and sisters are confused at what Lisa said and she face palms at her family's confusion but she noticed her brother was looking at her now that their mother stopped hugging him and he didn't seem confused or even interested by his expression which was blank much like her own.

"Our long lost brother who half of us knew nothing about is back home." Lisa said simplifying her statement for her family to understand.

"Yeah that is like pretty much everything." Leni said now understanding what Lisa said along with everyone else. Lisa notices yet again Lincoln turns his gaze from her on to Leni.

"That's not everything. There is a lot that must be answered." Lucy said scaring everyone when she talked but just like with Lisa, she was watching her new brother. She noticed when she spoke, he did not scream like most people or even get scared when she talked like her family did. A mental note for later, Lucy then said, "Lori said Lincoln was gone so why was he gone? What happened to him?"

"It happened almost 6 years ago when we went to the park, it was me, your mother and all kids having fun at the park. Lori was 11 years old, Leni was 10, Luna was 9, Luan was 8 years old, Lynn Jr was 7 years old, Lincoln just turned 5 years old not that long ago and Lucy was over a year old at that point." The Loud father said setting the story for the kids before continuing.

"Everyone was having fun, the kids played on the swings, slides and just had a good time but it was getting dark and we had to head home. Of course you kids weren't happy but everyone started getting ready to leave.

We were about to go home waiting for everyone to use the restroom, me and your mother who was holding Lucy waiting for you kids to come out so we can go home but then 2 problems happened. The first was Lucy needing her diaper changed so Rita went into the restroom to change her and the second problem had when I heard Leni screaming so I ran inside to see what was going on. I see Luan, Jr and Lincoln by the wall next to the door watching whatever was happening with their sisters or watching their mom change Lucy and asking questions. Then I hear Leni screaming something about a spider, so me, Lori, Luna and Jr were trying to calm Leni down so we could get her out of the restroom stall. Soon Rita was done changing Lucy and later we got Leni out and we left the restroom getting ready to head home."

Lynn Sr takes a break, seemingly gathering his thoughts. "We do a headcount to make sure everyone is with us and when we do so, Lincoln is not there. I ask confusingly where's Lincoln because I saw him not even 2 minutes ago in the restroom and Luan tells me that he could be at the monkey bars because he was playing on them before we started preparing to go home and from where we were at which was on the other side of the park by the entrants way we couldn't see the monkey bars so we went there and he was not there."

Lynn Sr once again stopped, this time he was tearing up and looked heartbroken along with his wife and his daughters Lori, Leni who was crying, Luna, Luan and Lynn who didn't let the tears fall down but anyone could see that this was hurting her. Rita understanding why everyone is like this, she comforted her husband and took over the rest of the story. "We started freaking out and looking around the park but we didn't find him. We were so nervous at where Lincoln could have been but we started searching for the other side of the park and quickly after searching your father saw something and he ran to the closest exit which was on the end of the park from where we were screaming put down my son.

"Me and the kids still don't know what's happening, I was holding a sleeping Lucy when I see this group of teens next to a parked minivan across from a gate that was close to us and in the van, there was someone in the driver's seat on the end of the sidewalk which was far away from the door." Rita is now full crying at this point. "I see them caring about something but when I got a better look, my heart stopped. Those kids had Lincoln who looked like he got beaten up and he was not moving, they threw him into the van like he wasn't a child and the kids must have realized this because they started screaming at the teens to leave Lincoln alone. I watched them get into the van quickly when they heard Lynn and us screaming at them and they drove away before Lynn could get to Lincoln."

Rita tried taking deep breaths to calm down before continuing but never really working as more tears fall down. "We were devastated at what we saw, so we took the kids home and we called the police about Lincoln being kidnapped but they weren't able to find him." Rita was about to continue on but Lynn Sr jumped back in after seeing his wife in that state yet again just like that day. "Almost 6 years of not knowing what happened to our only son, not knowing if he was safe until now was hard on us."

Everyone let the information sink in for a minute until. "So Lincoln was kidnapped." Lana who had been quiet since coming back into the house said. "Our brother was gone for almost literary 6 years but now he is back home." Lori said who was quickly followed by Lynn who said. "It's cool to have our little brother back right?" Lynn said asking around and her older sisters responded happily at her. Leni says "Its totes awesome. Linky was gone for like forever but he is here with us." Luan said "Yeah it's great have Lincoln back home, just don't go kidnapping around us ha ha ha get it." Her parents and sisters groaned at the joke. Luna said " Finally we can have our baby bro back home with us."

While the oldest Loud sisters were happy at Lincoln coming home, the younger Loud sisters did not feel the same way. They don't know Lincoln at all and this made the younger sisters very cautious about their brother. There is a silence in the room once until the doorbell rang and then scream along with the sound of running.

"Pizza's here." The Loud father said as he goes and gets the pizza but as he is doing so, Lori says to her sisters "Sisters meeting."
