"Where's Lincoln?" Luna asked, coming into the room to see him still asleep on the bed wit Haiku sitting next to him. What was odd about Haiku is that she had a nervous look on her face compared to her usual deadpan. "Uh... Something wrong, Haiku?"

"What do you think?!" Haiku snapped back, startling Luna greatly. "Sigh... I'm sorry. I told Lincoln some news and... I don't think he took it all too well..."

"What the hell did you even tell him? Can't be that hard," replied Luna with a shrug. Haiku gulped and stood up to whisper in her ear. Luna instantly went slack-jawed at Haiku's news, giving the goth a nervous look. "WHAT?! YOU'RE PREGGERS?!"

"Y-Yes..."

"THAT'S AWESOME! I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT! WOOHOO!" Luna shouted excitedly. This was something Haiku did not expect from Luna at all. Luna danced and chanted happily all while Haiku stood there confused. She thought that Luna would be angry or something but this wasn't what she expected at all! "Congratulations! I bet you two are hella happy!"

"Well, I am. It's just I don't think Lincoln took it that well is all..."

"Haiku, don't be sad about that! Of course Lincoln would be surprised you're pregnant. Vampires can't usually have kids with humans. The Loud genes must have bypassed that easily. Although it also depends on how much you both were trying."

"Well, we... weren't really trying for any kids..."

" Wait what? Then that... Oh. Oh! Hahahahaha!" Luna laughed as Haiku blushed. "Man! Lincoln really is a Loud if he got you pregnant! Hehehe!"

"Can we please talk about something else? I'm more worried about Lincoln than what we do in bed," Haiku spoke harshly. Luna simply chuckled and shrugged at her. "Sigh... I'm worried that Lincoln doesn't want to be a father. With me... I know he's technically immortal but he's only 18. Even that seems early for a vampire." 

"That's a fair point. But I'm sure he'll come around. Just give him some... time?" Luna said before feeling a gust of wind and seeing the window suddenly be open. Luna went to Lincoln's bed and pulled the covers off only to see that Lincoln was gone and in his place was a note. "What's this?"

Went to go think and clear my head. Sorry for being so sudden about this, Haiku. I do want to talk about this later. I promise. I love you. -Lincoln.

Haiku sighed yet smiled at the messaged. At least he was willing to talk about this. That's all that matters to her. She sat on the bed and held the letter close to her chest as she rubbed her slightly swollen looking stomach. "I hope you'll be alright, Lincoln..."

Cutting way from The Loud House, we now see Lincoln dashing through the rooftops with a nervous look on his face. Seems like he wasn't taking the news very well no matter how much he thought about it which only made him feel worse about all this. He loved Haiku to death yet he doesn't know what to think about her having a kid, much less two! Was he ready for this? Maybe. Maybe not. He didn't even know how he should think about this!

"ARGH!!! C'mon Lincoln! You're better than this! You aren't some deadbeat who ditches his girlfriend if she gets pregnant. You need to be the better man! You will stay with Haiku and be the best damn father you can be!" Lincoln said to himself confidently.

"But what if I'm unable to be a good dad..." he sighed, sitting down on the ledge of a building in sadness. "What if a lousy dad? I'd probably just end up disappointing Haiku..."

Lincoln went silent and looked out upon the moonlit city, trying to clear his mind and calm himself down. He did a few deep breathes and closed his, trying to think of nothing. For a few minutes, he stood in place and thought to himself. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and began to head back home.

"Alright, Lincoln. You can do this. You just need to talk to Haiku and hopefully, things will be alright. Things will-"

CCCSSSSHHHH!!!!!!

Suddenly, Lincoln's radio began blaring with a familiar voice. He rolled his eyes and took it out of his pocket and listened in, starting to hear Lori's voice from it. Lincoln listened to Lori's orders which turned out to just be a solo mission. Apparently there was an armed robber than had a shotgun rather than the normal pistol so to save on troops, she just sent Lincoln to easily take this thug out. He shrugged and went back to hopping over the rooftops to where he was supposed to go. Oddly enough, it seemed to be a large abandoned building. Lincoln reached for his sword, only to not feel it by his hip as only his whip was with him. Damn, looks like he forgot to bring it. No matter. He was fine without his sword by his side. Besides, it was only one most likely some drug-addicted robber. Nothing he couldn't handle.

After walking around the rooms, he finally saw a shadow move from him. Putting a hand on his whip, he carefully walked slowly towards the figure.

"Hey! Come on out or I'll need to use deadly force!"

No response.

"You must be... pretty dangerous to have me get sent to take you out. Although I guess a shotgun would be a formidable weapon against anything so that makes a bit of sense."

More silence.

Lincoln groaned walked forward some more, the the figure still not moving. Lincoln was starting to feel uneasy about all this. Why haven't they made a move or attacked yet? They obviously have a shotgun so do they not want to shoot or perhaps they have no ammo.

"Alright pal, you're coming with-huh?" He said, pulling the figure only see it was a mannequin. "What the-"

Suddenly, Lincoln heard the sound of a shotgun being cocked. Just as he heard it fire, he dove to the left before it could put a large hole inside him. He slashed the whip at his assailant, only for another person to grab it and pull it out of Lincoln's hands. Two more people showed themselves with weapons in hand. It was an ambush! Lincoln stayed quiet and began dashing to attack his foes, only for them to start firing upon them. While Lincoln's powers allowed him to dash at high speeds, guns still proved to be an effective weapon against all types of things, including vampires. The assault rifles they had managed to get a few hits on him, causing Lincoln to switch tactics and approach head-on and tackled one of the hit-men down and quickly sucked his body dry of blood.

"Much better," Lincoln said as the blood helped regenerate his wounds. He lunged at another person and punched him in the gut and threw him down to the ground. However, even more men came out of the shadows, this time grabbing onto him and holding his place. Even with his vampire strength, they somehow held him in place as the leader with the shotgun walked in front of Lincoln with a cocky smirk.

"Well well. Here's the low-life abomination who's been a thorn in my ass over these past few months," the man said. "However, now is not the time for talking. No no. My... associates and I have a... special need for someone of your talents whenever you like it or not. Bring in the next experiment."

The man aimed his shotgun at Lincoln's legs and blew his kneecaps off, sending him to the floor and screaming in agony. One of the armed men brought out a large jar filled with a pitch-black liquid. He opened the lid and put on a rubber glove and reached into the jar and pulled out a long dark green, worm looking creature. It thrashed violently and hissed at everything around it. He crouched down and grabbed Lincoln's mouth and held it wide and allowed the thing to slither inside Lincoln's body.

Lincoln coughed and hacked, hoping to throw up what had just entered his body but it never came out.

"Well, Lincoln. This is where I must leave. You have a long future ahead of you with us. I recommend going along with anything we tell you to do less you want us to storm your home and slaughter your family," spoke the man. "Oh. Before I leave, congratulations on the twins."

Lincoln teared up as the man and the guards left. Before he could try to get up, one of the guards walked over and slammed his head with a bat, causing him to blackout instantly. As Lincoln slept, the creature made its way up through Lincoln's body and right to his brain. It grew small tendrils and attached itself to his brain.

"Peeerrrfeeeecttt... Now I just need to wait for him to wake up... By then, his legs shall have grown back," spoke the creature. "Hmm... Lincoln Loud... You and I are going to have so much fun together..."
