AN: Damn, can't believe you guys like this? I mean I only started to write this story cause I need something else to work on while I'm figuring stuff for my other stories. Still though, I really appreciate the reviews and the follows and favorites. So that's why I started to get writing on this next chapter. I'm glad you all like this story, so I'll try my best to keep it going. Now, I wanted to answer a few things some of you asked in your review. Will I make Ronnie Anne the same age or even around the age of Lincoln? I honestly have no clue, but if people want it I'll write it. I might even do Clyde as well. Will some of the sisters resent him, oh yeah, no doubt… how would you all feel if your older sibling left in the night without a word and came back 9 freaking years later? You wouldn't feel too happy, am I right? Also are some of the other sisters he hasn't met until now are going to be distant? Yeah, a few of them. Probably not Lily though seeing as she is a baby and very friendly. So yeah, it'll take time but Lincoln and his new sister will get close. With his other sisters… well you'll have to wait and see. Pairings… I still got nothing like I said. Leave what you want in a review or even PM me. It could be anything. Also if you guys are kind of curious about what Lincoln did when he was away on the road. That'll be explained probably in later chapters. Oh and I probably won't follow the episodes for the story, seeing as I just got into this show recently and haven't watched all the episodes in order. But I mean anything could happen. Anyways, I don't want to keep you all waiting so… ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

"Hey… mom… it's been awhile." Lincoln said with a small smile, his tone was quiet and mixed with a hint of nervousness. Lincoln still couldn't believe that he was doing this. He couldn't believe he was right here back home, staring at his mom dead in the eye. After all these years… Lincoln still couldn't even believe it still. The shock on his mom's face said it all, it looked as if she couldn't believe what was going on herself. Soon after about a few minutes of complete silence, Lincolnshire mom began to move very slowly towards Lincoln. She was shaking as a leaf. Her eyes were still locked onto Lincoln, as if she was afraid to look away and see him disappear. Each step she took was slow and steady, as if she was trying to stay balanced on a tight rope. Soon enough, she had completely walked pass a still very confused Lucy who still had no idea what was going on. It didn't help ether when Lincoln said mom right in front of Lucy, seeing as she had not a single clue what was happening right in front of her. While Lucy was still trying to figure out what was happening, Mrs. Loud was finally in front of Lincoln, as both of their eyes continued to look on at one another.

"L-lincoln… is that you?" Asked Mrs. Loud with a shaken and soft tone, as she slowly brought her hand up to Lincoln's face. As if she wanted make sure the person standing in front of her was real. When her hand touched his face, Lincoln let out a small smile… with tears in his eyes. He slowly began to nod, which in turn made Mrs. Loud bring her hand back as she let a soft gasp. Soon after that, tears began to form around her eyes. She then slowly began to cry, then out of nowhere she quickly rushed towards Lincoln as grab him in a tight hug. Which caught Lucy by surprise but not Lincoln who expected this. Shortly after that Mrs. Loud began to cry on Lincoln's shoulder, which Lincoln allowed. In fact, he started to return the hug. It had been so long since Lincoln had felt a hug from his mom, that he almost though he forgot about how it felt.

"Oh my god! It's really you… my baby boy! Oh, look how much you've grown!" Cried out a still crying Mrs. Loud, who was still hysterical as she couldn't stop crying. Guess seeing your long lost child who has now grown up to a full grown adult was too much, especially when the last time you saw them they were only a child. Lincoln also could not stop crying too. But Lucy on the other hand, was more confused than ever. And thought it was about time to ask the question that was bothering her since this whole situation. Who was this person crying along with her mom?

"Mom, who is this? And why are you hugging him?" Asked a very confused Lucy, who has completely changed demeanor. Which was saying a lot for her since she really showed emotion, especially being completely out of the loop on what was going on. After a few good seconds of crying on her long lost son's shoulder. Mrs. Loud shortly began to collect herself and wipe away the tears away. Soon Lincoln started to do the same as well, guess seeing his mom again was a bit to much for him. Even though Lincoln looked kind of a stereotypical biker big brother, he was still kind of a momma's boy. After Mrs. Loud wiped away her tears, she proceeded to let out a smile as she turned to Lucy.

"Lucy, this is your brother… Lincoln. And Lincoln… this is your little sister… Lucy." Mrs. Loud said as she continued to wipe her eyes, to make sure that she didn't miss a single teardrop. After hearing this it was safe to say Lucy was shocked to her core, seeing as her face said it all. Now being a very gloomy girl, Lucy wasn't easy to be shocked or heck even just care. But seeing as her mom was just hugging a complete stranger who came knocking at their door, oh and dropping a bombshell on her like telling her this person was her brother… didn't help much ether! But she wasn't the only one too. Lincoln was also very shocked.

'I… have another sister!? W-wh-when did this happen!?' Thought Lincoln as he looked to his mom, who gave a small nod. Confirming that this little 8 year old girl standing in front of them with a speechless expression… was in fact his sister. Soon after that went through his mind, both Lincoln and Lucy turned to one another and shortly began inspect each other. For Lucy it was easy to see why this stranger could be related to her… or even her brother as her mom claimed. It wasn't that she didn't believe her of course, it was just a little hard to believe that a complete stranger come knocking on your door today, turned out to be your long lost brother that you had previous knowledge of existing. But what her mom said could be true. Seeing his hair for one thing, Lucy knew that her grandfather and his side of the family usually inherited pale white hair from an early age. And seeing this person's hair made her mom's claim hold some truth.

Lincoln on the other hand had a hard time finding anything related to this little girl in front of him being his sister. It wasn't that Lincoln thought his mom was lying to him of course, it was just hard to see him being related to this little girl standing right now in front of him. It wasn't that he didn't like her or thought any less of her because of her appearance. It was just hard to see any resemblance from her and his parents, as from what Lincoln could see as he looked down at the girl, she had black hair. Now ether that is her natural hair then it was a possibility for them to be related, seeing as a few of Lincoln's grandparents and great grandparents had black hair. So it was possible for Lucy to inherit that from them. But if it was dyed… then that was a completely different story. The only thing that Lincoln could piece together proving that they were related was her name. A name that his parents were thinking about giving to Lynn before she was born when they were still thinking up names for her. A name that this little girl had.

"Lucy huh, that's quite a lovely name for such a lovely girl." Lincoln said with a small smile as he spoke in a soft tone. Now Lincoln would never usually say that to a girl or a woman as he wasn't much of a romantic, especially when they're your family. But seeing as they were both related, it meant no harm if he could tease them a little. Especially seeing as he used to do that with the rest of his sisters long ago. So yeah, Lincoln didn't see any harm of being friendly. And neither did their mom, it actually almost brought her to tears again witnessing her two children meeting each other for the first time. But luckily enough, she didn't do that. Lucy on the other hand… didn't know how to react.

For one she felt… more confused than uncomfortable, in fact she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She just felt strange, it wasn't normal to hear someone call someone like her lovely. In fact on a few occasions people thought the exact opposite. So hearing someone call her that was completely new to her, so she didn't know how to react, but apparently her body did though. A small blush touched her cheeks as she tried her best to keep calm and collected. Soon the blush disappeared and Lucy was back with stoic expression. Still though, she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask and was still pretty confused at this currant situation. Like why hasn't she heard about this long lost brother of hers, and how come he's here. But before the little goth girl could say a word, Mrs. Loud thought it was best that to confront Lincoln and say her piece since she's seem to let out all of her emotions. With the exception of a few that is.

"Lincoln, sweetie… I think it's time that the rest of the family know your back. Especially your sisters. But just to let you know, me, you and your father are going to have a long discussion later. Like where have you been all these years… and why you ran away." Said Mrs. Loud in a tone that didn't sound like it was to be trifled with, which made Lincoln flinch. That tone even made Lucy flinch. She has rarely seen her mom act so serious before, and she's seen her siblings do a lot of things that would make most parents pull their hair out. So seeing her mom like this… honestly frightened Lucy. Lincoln like his gloomy sister, was also frightened. But truthfully he felt more grief and regret than fear. Seeing as her expression showed great sorrow than anger. Lincoln couldn't bear to see his mom like that, and he knew that his father and sisters weren't going to go easy on him ether.

'She's right, I do have a lot to explain. Especially why I ran away… and where I've been for the last 9 years. And by the tone of her voice, it's not going to be pretty.' Solemnly thought Lincoln as he started to rub the back of his neck. He knew he had this coming when he came here. So, guess it was time to man up and take it like a man. He's gone through worse though on the run. He had the scars and bruises to prove it. Some of which he regretted deeply, but not more than what led him to this whole ordeal in the first place. And explaining everything to his parents was just going to be a blast. Lincoln then let out a small sigh as looked to down to his little sister who still had no idea what was going or going to happen, but knew that what was about to happen was not going to be pretty. Lincoln than turned to his mom who while still in a foul type of mood, gave sympathetic smile and a quick hug to Lincoln.

"It's going to be alright sweetie, whatever happens. Just know that I'm happy your back home." Said Mrs. Loud in a soft and very sympathetic tone, while she did feel a bit angry at Lincoln for running away in the first place. She missed her son too much to stay angry at him. However, she knew that maybe Lincoln's older sisters won't be so forgiving as she is. Of course they would be happy to see him, but that didn't meet they'd forgot how he left in the first place. Especially Lori and Luna who had to pick up the slack when Lincoln left. It still made her heart heavy when Mrs. Loud thought back when Lincoln left and how they all dealt with it. Herself and her husband were devastated of course, when Lincoln left without warning things for the Loud Family got a bit harder. After weeks of their son missing they still had hope that maybe the police would continue to help look for him. But soon weeks turned to months… and then a year had passed after Lincoln ran away. That's when it was left out of the police's hands. Of course they would still be on the look out, but there wasn't much they could do but be vigilant.

Things of course only got worse for the Louds as time passed. Mrs. Loud and her husband of course blamed each other and continued to argue. And after a time that's when it hit them… maybe that's why Lincoln ran away in the first place. So, that's when both parents decided to stop the arguing. And fix the problem, for their girls. While they still searched for their only son, they decided to make sure that the rest of their family stayed together. It wasn't easy, but over time they healed. Soon Mrs. Loud and Mr. Loud were happy… well, almost happy. They still missed their son greatly. And hoped maybe one day that he walk through that front door and they could become a family again. But both parents knew it wasn't that easy. Seeing as Lincoln's sisters took it the hardest when he left. Especially Lynn and Lori, both lost a big brother, all of them lost their loving big brother. Soon Mrs. Loud quickly snapped out it as Lincoln got of the hug and gave a nod to his mom.

"It's alright mom, I know that it'll take time… but I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. Not again. I promise mom" Lincoln stated softly in a reassuring tone, his expression was also soft like his tone. After hearing her son say that, it brought Mrs. Loud some peace of mind. However she knew better than Lincoln, some pretty words and a promise weren't going to cut it with some of Lincoln's sisters. Maybe for his father? But not the girls… a girl never forgets and usually never forgives easily. And that's what Mrs. Loud worried about most. How some of the girls react to seeing their brother again, and meeting him for the first time. Sometimes Mrs. Loud regretted not telling the little ones about their brother, but at time both herself and her husband thought it was for the best. But, you can't change the past. No matter how much you wanted to do that. The only thing you can do was press on and hope for the best… that's what Lincoln did ever since he left.

'No matter what happens… I'm not leaving. Not ever again. Just like I said, just hope and press on.' Thought Lincoln as he looked to his mom with a smile, who in return smiled back. Than Lincoln proceeded to take another deep breath to calm himself. Which of course didn't help. He's done a lot of things that sacred the living day lights out of him. But facing his sisters… was something else entirely. But like he said, "Man up and do it". After a few seconds of collecting himself. He gave a nod to his mom, signaling he was ready. In return she gave a soft a small smile.

"HONEY! KIDS! COME DOWN STAIRS NOW! WE HAVE A VISITOR!" Yelled out a very loud Mrs. Loud. Which made Lincoln and Lucy flinch and cover their ears, their mom sure lived up to the loud name with a voice like that. After a couple of minutes of silence, Lincoln began to hear voices and various doors beginning to open. And for a split second, Lincoln could have sworn he heard a baby. But that wasn't possible… right? I mean, there was no way his parents had more kids other than Lucy when he was away, right? Well, Lincoln was very shocked to see two little girls coming down stairs first, as a few other voices and footsteps slowly following them from behind. Lincoln could also see that the girls looked pretty identical, with the exception of their clothes. It was safe to say that both girls were around the age of 6 or younger, and we're most likely twins

"Mom what is it!? I'm trying to do my makeup!" Said one of the little girls as she came down the stairs not bothering to acknowledge Lincoln as walked down with the other little girl. She had long blonde hair that she wore down and a tuft of hair on top of her head pointed to the right. She was missing her front teeth, but Lincoln didn't care seeing as he lost one of his back teeth long ago on when he was on the run. She wore a very stereotypical princess attire. With a long pink gown and sash, and white pearl necklace around her neck, long pink gloves, white earrings, pink high heels, and a tiara on her head. Lincoln could already tell that this little one had quite the attitude. But he of course isn't judging. As both little girls continued walk down the stairs, the rough looking one of the two began to speak.

"Yeah mom, I was getting ready to play in the mud with Charles and Hops." Said the other little girl, who was carrying a rather strange creature to see as a pet. The creature she was carrying was a small but a bit large green frog. This girl was clearly a tomboy and a total opposite to her twin. She was nearly identical in her physical appearance to the other girl. She had blonde hair with two downward pigtails tied down with red scrunchies, and was missing her front teeth like her twin did. She wore a red baseball cap backwards, white sneakers with blue stripes, and a murky green t-shirt under dark blue overalls. Now Lincoln could tell he was related to these two girls, seeing as their hair and faces deeply resembled his parents. Which meant… they were likely his sisters! Now before Lincoln could say anything to his mom about his realization, another little girl came down following the other two as they had reached downstairs.

"I must concur with both Lola and Lana mother. I was originally planning to proceed with an experiment that involved Oreo cookies and jellyfish DNA, but I now found myself here." Said the other little girl coming down the stairs, the tone of her voice sounded very educated for such a young girl. She also spoke in a lateral lisp and had a expression that mimicked Lucy's. Now while this girl had the same stoic demeanor like Lucy, that didn't mean she looked or acted like her in any way. The little girl wore short shaggy brown hair and wore large glasses that seemed to help her see. She also wore a green turtleneck sweater, red pants and brown shoes, all of which were droop down to illustrate her stoic demeanor. Now unlike the other two girls, who were now revealed to Lola and Lana, this one who looked to be around 4 or even 5 years old. Lincoln couldn't give an exact age seeing as he had just met this little girl. But Lincoln had a very uneasy feeling about this little girl with the large glasses, not that she was intimidating of course. It was just that… she seemed a lot smarter than your average little girl.

Soon enough the little girl had finally made downstairs, and shortly joined Lola and Lana. Now all three little girls were standing next each other, like a group of soldiers would do when a higher ranking superior was inspecting them. Shortly after that, Lucy thought it was best to join them. So she decided to stand along with her sisters. Now that all four girls were together, all of them with the exception of Lucy began to take notice of Lincoln. Lola and Lana with confusion and curiosity, while the other one looked to be intrigued as if she was trying to figure out a puzzle. In all honesty it kind of made Lincoln feel uncomfortable. But before Lincoln or anyone could say anything. Another set of footsteps could be heard upstairs, soon those footstep sounded like they were getting closer to the flight of stairs. And soon Lincoln got his answer, as he saw another person come down the stairs too. Someone Lincoln knew quite well.

"Hey mom, I finally put Lily to sleep. But dad and the rest of the girls are in the attic going through things. Should I get them or nah?" Said another girl as she came down the stairs nonchalantly, but that all changed when she laid her eyes on Lincoln. And when he did the same with her. The girl was a lot older than the others, in fact she seemed to be around 13 years of age. This girl had large brown hair wrapped into a small ponytail. She wore a red and white jersey with a red "1" on it, red-and-white shorts, and cleats with striped knee-high socks. She was slightly taller than Lucy and had freckles on her cheeks. Now, while Lincoln didn't know the other girls who came down, he did know who this girl was. The last time he saw her was when she was barely 4 years old, in fact if he remembered correctly… he tucked her in bed right before he began to pack and leave that very night 9 years ago.

"Hey Lynn… I'm back." Lincoln said with a very uneasy smile.
