I don't own the picture.

It was a beautiful summer day at Royal Woods and everyone was enjoying themselves with the only exceptions being the Louds. All of which were miserable since their only son/brother ran away after a pretty bad fight.

"Sigh...It's been over 15 years since I've seen my baby and I still miss him terribly." Rita said.

"You're not the only one. I should've never yelled at him." Lynn Sr. Said while sitting down at the coach while his daughters tried to comfort him. They all blamed themselves for being the reason why he ran away from the house. And tried to find him...which only lead to a series of dead ends.

"We'll find him Dad. Lincoln can't disappear forever." Lori said.

"I know. But I always ask myself how he's doing on his own and if he managed to meet a nice girl and if he managed to have children." Lynn Sr. Said. 

"But even if he didn't...there's still Ronnie Anne." Lynn Jr. said causing Lori to glare at her sporty sister. Over the years, she realized that Lincoln and Ronnie Anne didn't have to get together for her and Bobby's relationship to work. And regretted everything that she's ever done to him. Which is the feeling most of her siblings shared except of course Lynn and Lola...who are still themselves.

"I thought I told you that they don't need to get together anymore. Besides last I heard, she's dating someone already." Lori said.

"Then how about..." Lynn started to say until she noticed the angry expressions of her other sisters minus Lola and decided to stay silent. 

"Now back to the conversation at hand....Lincoln could possibly be outside of the United States." Lisa said.

"Outside of the United States? How did he..." Leni started to ask before Lily interrupted.

"That's not important. Besides this gives me a chance to really get to know my brother." Lily said knowing full well that her brother wasn't going to like the rest of the family coming into his home life. She managed to start building a relationship with him when they bumped into each other when she was on a field trip. But that's besides the point..Lincoln was still angry at the others for what they said that fateful day and she didn't want to lose the trust that she gained. Meanwhile at a mansion in Japan, Lincoln was just waking up and was ready to face the day. He had several wives to love and sixteen wonderful children to take care of. 

"Ugh. I wonder why I starting thinking of them again." Lincoln said as he had yet another dream about his old family. He hated them....well more like hated all of them except his little sister, Lily. She was the only one who was truly innocent in all of this and he couldn't bring himself to hate her. He also didn't hate his nieces and nephews that had no part in what happened. 

But that's besides the point. The rest of the family were driving him insane with their constant need to cause him pain and misery along with sticking their noses where they don't belong. It all came to a head when he was 13 years old when they started to yell at him for no reason at all. That was the last straw that broke whatever love that he had for any of them except his only true sister. 

KNOCK KNOCK

"Dad? Are you alright in there?" One of his sixteen girls asked through the door. He quickly rushed to open it and came face to face with Mileena who looked at him was a baffled expression on her face.

"Yes. I'm fine." Lincoln said.

"Okay. Mom wanted to see when you're coming down for breakfast." Mileena said. 

"I'll be down in a couple of minutes. Besides doesn't Kitana usually check in on me." Lincoln said.

"Well...She wanted to get more studying done for the test today." Mileena said.

"And she didn't want to spend time talking to her crush?" Lincoln said which made Mileena nervously chuckle which confirmed his statement. Which also meant that the boy's life may be in danger if he broke her heart. 

"Alright....You tell your sister to get ready for school. While I get ready." Lincoln said. Mileena nodded and started to head over to her shared room with her sister, Kitana...while her father got ready for the day. Unaware that his past will be coming full force leading to a conversation that will make or break the ruined relationship.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋
