AN: Hey guys! Sorry if I took too long! But I unfortunately had to quit my job sadly. And it's been rough. That aside I'm alright. So don't worry about me. Before we start I wanted to thank all of you for your ideas and suggestions! Some are good while a few were slightly strange. Anyways I've decided that I'm going to do episode chapters. But I will make up my own chapters in the future. Like a flashback chapter or maybe just a fluffy and silly one. Who knows? The next chapter I do might be a flashback, about who I'll let you all decide. Anyways, here is the chapter you've all been waiting for! ON WITH THE CHAPTER! Enjoy!

"Even through all the hard times, I still wouldn't ask for different parents." Lincoln muttered out with a smile as he started to lay down onto his bed. "Even if my dad is an ass sometimes."

Lincoln then began to think over what his other siblings and him had done over the week. Which was nothing, nothing at all.

Luna and Lori still wouldn't talk to him. Or even look at him. Though Lori somehow always managed to shoot him a dirty look whenever she could. Luna just avoided him. No matter what he did she would just give him the cold shoulder and leave.

Fixing what he had with those two was going to take awhile. A long while.

The rest of his siblings just avoided him and when they didn't they usually never say a word to him. Lola kept her distance from him. Lisa didn't seem to care about him at all. Though she did find it interesting that she had a male sibling. Something she said she would investigate in time. Whatever the hell that meant.

And finally there was Lucy, the black sheep of the family.

Lincoln didn't know why but something about his little goth sister… intimated him? Like she was always watching him or something. Sure she would sometimes pop out nowhere. But Lincoln didn't find that scary or even surprising. Because somehow he was able to tell where and when Lucy would unexpectedly pop up. A skill that kind of freaked his family out a little. And even Lucy.

Overall, Lincoln was making some progress with his family. Even though it didn't feel like it.

With a sigh Lincoln threw his shirt off and took off his pants. Now only wearing his boxer shorts Lincoln got comfortable and tried to go to sleep. Even though the lights were on Lincoln didn't care.

"Tomorrow is a new day…" Lincoln yawned out as closed his eyes to welcome sleep. But what he didn't notice is that something was once again crawling up in the vents. Something or someone watching him.

Two Days Later

It was a bright Monday afternoon. And Lincoln was currently tuning up his bike. Since it was about the only thing he can do with it. At least until he gets a proper driver's license. Something he and his mom have yet to do.

Nothing hasn't really changed much since Saturday. All he had to do was spend time with his sisters and tune up his motorcycle.

Speaking of which, his sisters were about to get off school soon.

"I swear, I'm going to die from boredom." Lincoln huffed out as he placed the wrench he was holding onto back into the toolbox he had near him. Which meant he was about done. "While surviving on the road was rough. I got to admit it was never boring."

Lincoln soon sigh as got up and picked up the toolbox. He then headed back to the house with toolbox in hand. But as he got closer to the steps of the house his mother unexpected came out a headed towards him.

"What's up momma bear? The toilet plugged up again?" Lincoln asked as he stopped when his mom stopped right in front of him. "Or do you need me to watch Lily?"

Rita Loud couldn't help but smile as she shook her head a little. Her son, always up to help anyone. Especially her.

"No, everything is fine son." Mrs. Loud answered with a smile. "I just wanted to tell you that me and your father have decided that is about time we take a road trip. And we were wondering if you wanted to come along."

Lincoln looked surprised, it had been awhile since he heard the word. Road trip. Something he and family used to do frequently back in the day. Guess even though the family got a lot bigger some traditions are still the same. Sadly though Lincoln didn't know how to feel about them now.

Seeing it what state his family was in right now. Having everyone piled into a van with him didn't sound like a good idea. Considering how most of his family still saw him as a stranger or wanted nothing to do with him. Ultimately Lincoln didn't know how to respond. He didn't want to disappoint his mom or upset her. But what could he say?

"Uh, I really don't think I should go mom." Lincoln answered with a regretful frown. "Taking me along would probably be a bad idea."

Mrs. Loud was taken back by her son's response.

"Why would you think that honey?" Mrs. Loud asked with some confusion. "I thought you liked road trips? Especially with your sisters."

"Trust me I do mom, but something tells me a few people might not be happy with me tagging along." Lincoln explained with a frown as he scratched his head awkwardly. "Lori and Luna being one of them. And probably dad too."

"Lincoln, you still haven't gotten around to talking to them yet?" Mrs. Loud asked in a serious tone as she gave her son a disappointed look. That made him look down at the ground like a child who was caught trying to steal a cookie. "I thought you said you would talk to them. You know, try to work things out."

Lincoln only sighed as he walked passed his mom and took a seat on one of the steps to the house.

"Kind of hard to talk to someone who doesn't want to talk back." Lincoln bitterly huffed out. "Lori pretty much hates me. Me and dad have been avoiding each other. Luna can't even look at me and most of my sisters barely know me or want to."

Mrs. Loud could only look at her son with a sad expression. She knew that while she and some of her daughters were happy with Lincoln being back. Some of them weren't or didn't know how to feel.

Lori was always one to hold a grudge, even though she and Lincoln were the closest out of everyone back then. But the stubborn girl couldn't forget or forgive what her big brother did. Something Luna also felt. The rest of her children mainly the younger ones barely even talked to Lincoln at all. Minus Lana and Lily of course. Both of whom enjoyed the time they got to spend with their brother. The rest were sadly a different story.

Rita Loud only sighed as she headed towards Lincoln. Where she soon took a seat next to him.

"Lincoln, I know things are tough right now. But things aren't going to change unless you make them." Mrs. Loud sagely and kindly stated with a caring smile. She then placed a hand on Lincoln's shoulder. Which caused him to give his mom a small smile. "I want you to come, but I won't force you. You're an adult now. And I can't treat you like your still 11. But please try and talk to your sisters and father, please. Do for me?"

Seeing that look on his mom's face made Lincoln feel terrible. How could he say not his mother.

"Yeah, I'll try mom. For you." Lincoln said with a smile. "But don't expect the others to do the same though."

"Thank you Lincoln." Mrs. Loud happily thanked her son as she got up from the steps. But before she left she gave her son a light peck on the cheek. "And don't worry too much about your father. I'll talk to him myself."

"Good luck, if anyone can get through to him it's you mom." Lincoln jokingly said with a smile. "But don't expect him to listen so easily. He's more stubborn than me."

Lincoln only heard her laugh before his mom headed back inside. After that it was him all by his lonesome. It felt peaceful.

Something he really haven't felt in awhile. It was nice. With a small sigh Lincoln looked up at the sky and the clouds. While this was a good feeling, he felt like he didn't deserve it. Being with his family had brought up a lot of memories. Good and bad.

But all he wanted was to be with his friends and family, all of his family. He missed roughing it with his old pickpocket gang. The laughs and good times they had. The silent and happy moments he had with his friend Chris. Who was the leader of the gang who took him. Who wanted to be more than friends. Sadly Lincoln couldn't put him or his old gang through that. So he left.

He missed the old man, Eddie. The man who took him in after he left a certain quiet town in Oregon. Where a lot of strange things happened to him. Things he would like to forget but unfortunately couldn't. It wasn't all bad though. He remembered the crazy summer he had there. Having one of the weirdest and crazy jobs at one of the oddest places ever. What he remembered most was a certain red head tomboy who loved him. And two crazy but lovable twins who looked up to him like and older brother. He couldn't forget about a certain old grump he looked up to like a father. He couldn't forget.

Lincoln eventually left, like always. And I that's when he met Eddie. A grumpy and kind old wrestling coach who took him in and showed him the ropes. Who taught him about honor and the way of Lucha Libre. The way of the mask. Eventually he was traveling the world wrestling anywhere he could go. And on his travels he stopped in Japan. Where be met the love of his life. Suki Furukawa, daughter of Chiba Furukawa. A notorious crime boss he eventually met. Which was not a pleasant meeting. Thankfully he survived, mainly because of Suki's mother. Akari Furukawa who welcomed him to the family with open arms.

How he met Suki was at a wrestling match of all places. A match he had against her. Where he got his ass handed to him.

After the match she asked him out and he agreed and the rest is history.

Eventually he asked her to marry him which she said yes to. And before they knew it they had a baby girl named Liberty Urusaidesu Furukawa. Since they couldn't really call her Liberty Loud since it would be odd. So they made her take her mother's name. While her first name was English like her father's. Her middle name was something Lincoln and Suki came up with.

Urusaidesu, which was loud in Japanese.

Lincoln's thoughts and smile went away when he heard a bus coming up nearly. Which meant the kids were finally off school.

"I better go inside." Lincoln declared with a smallest sigh as he got up and headed into the house.

As he entered through the door. Lincoln still couldn't figure what he was going to do. Maybe some time alone will help.

An Hour Later

It had been about an hour and all that Lincoln had done was lie on his bed.

"Well… I got nothing." Lincoln simply said as he kept on starring up at the ceiling. "Crap…"

That was all Lincoln could think about. Trying to make amends with Lori and Luna. Which was pretty much impossible. Lori hated his guts, Luna was more conflicted though. Maybe he should try to talk to her first? Or should he try and get to know the rest of younger sisters?

Those thoughts soon went away when Lincoln heard some knocking on his door.

"Come it." Lincoln called our not wanting to get up and open the door. He learned that in this house everything was hazardous to him. Even his own door. "Last thing I need is broken nose."

Lincoln's door slowly opened and a very unexpected guest came in. It was Lola, Lana's twin!

"Um, something I can help you with Lola?" Lincoln asked as he sat up from his bed.

Lola appeared to be flustered as she entered the room. Like she was embarrassed.

Lincoln didn't know much about his younger sister and Lana's twin. He only knew that she was into pageants and other lady like stuff. Which was totally the opposite of what Lana did and liked. Other than that he knew nothing else about her.

"Uh, I was wondering if you can help me. You see I don't have another guest for my tea party." Lola innocently said as she looked a bit embarrassed. "Lana being Lana really isn't good at tea parties. Lucy won't join me unless she bring her creepy head Edwin. And the rest are busy or don't care."

Lincoln legitimately felt his heart melt. Because this reminded himself so much how Leni used to ask him. He couldn't help but give out a kind and loving smile.

"Sure, I mean it's been awhile since I've done a tea party with a beautiful princess. But I'd be honored to join." Lincoln happily said as he slightly teased Lola. Who only blushed even more. "Lead the way your highness."

Lola smiled as she grabbed her brother's hand and proceeded to lead him to her room.

A Hour Later

Lincoln had a wonderful time with his little sister. It felt nice to do something like a tea party again.

While they had their tea party Lola would ask Lincoln a lot of questions. Like what places did he travel to? The people he met? And what kind of pageants they had or the types of fashion they had. At that point Lincoln let it slip that he knew someone who was going to be a fashion designer. Which was Suki, because for a time she quiet wrestling for awhile and studied to become a fashioned designer. She even taught Lincoln or think or two.

That immediately got Lola's attention and excitement!

The young twin immediately asked if Lincoln could repair one of her dresses. One that she kind of ripped a little when she and Lana got into a fight. Lincoln would have questioned why they were fighting in the fir place. But he couldn't because Lola had shoved her dress right into Lincoln's face. With little choice and getting the puppy dog eyes from Lola. Which was one of his major weaknesses. And Lola knew that somehow.

With a small sigh Lincoln got his sewing kit he kept in his backpack and quickly went to work. And in no time at all he was done. The dress looked like it never got ripped in the first place! Which shocked Lola, but that shock eventually went away and was replaced with excitement and happiness! Lincoln barely had enough time to catch Lola when she launched herself at him.

When he caught her, Lola immediately gave Lincoln a verb loving and tight hug. That made him smile. So he hugged back.

After that, Lincoln went back to his room. But it took awhile because of Lola. Who had quite a grip on her. Eventually she stopped when Lincoln promised he work on more of Lola's dresses when he had time. Something Lola wasted no time in answering.

Lincoln then returned to his room.

"Man, that girl reminds me a lot of Lori and Leni." Lincoln stated with a smile and laugh as he took a seat on his bed. "She acts all cute and innocent but I can tell she's one who always gets her way. The cuteness of Leni and devilish attitude of Lori. Now, that is scary."

Lincoln only smiled as he remembered the times when Lori and Leni were young. Both always fighting who got to play with Lincoln first or just because they could agree on something. Eventually he would break them up and promise he would spend time with both of them.

Those were good times.

Simpler and happy times. When his sisters loved him, when he was a real big brother. Now though, that was all in the past. But that didn't mean it couldn't be like that again.

He was spending time and trying to make up for what he did to his family. Spending and getting to know his little sisters. Lana, Lola and Lily. All of whom had grown to like him. And trying to make it up to the sisters he left behind. Leni, Luan and Lynn. But he wished the rest of his sisters were willing. Lori, Luna, Lisa and Lucy.

As Lincoln thought that a knock was once again heard coming from his door.

"Yo!" Lincoln called out. "It's opened!"

With that said the door opened and someone very unexpected came through. It was Lucy!

"Um, hey." Lincoln simply said with a light wave.

"Hey." Lucy replied with her usual emotionless tone.

That's when things got awkward. Very awkward. With a uncomfortable cough Lincoln tried to speak but Lucy beat him to it. But before she spoke she closed the door behind her.

"Look… I know you're hiding something." Lucy said simply as she crossed her arms. "I know about the scars, the pictures and everything else. What are hiding from mom?"

Lincoln immediately froze. Shock was an understatement.

To Be Continued

AN: Oh, looks like things are getting serious! What does Lucy mean!? What will Lincoln say!? Will he come clean or will he lie? Will things only get worse for him? Find out in the next chapter! Sorry if this chapter was short. But this is a set up for a major chapter! Which will most likely be a episode chapter or a flashback one. I promise. Anyways, hope you can forgive me for any errors or typos I made. I also hope you liked the time Lincoln spent with Lola and his mom. If you have any questions, suggestions or want to leave your feedback. Leave them in a review or PM me. Expect a new chapter in a week or two. A month at the latest. See ya!
