It was a morning like any other in the Royal Woods, which meant that the various members of the Loud houses were scattered throughout the city busy with their various jobs, commitments, duties and hobbies.

When suddenly, the peace and quiet of Benjamin Street was interrupted by a series of screams that were quite familiar to the place.

Less than an hour ago Ronnie Anne Loud had gone into labor, and her husband Lincoln had taken her to the hospital.

With the help of a free hands, Lincoln began to call his family members to take care of his children, he had already called his father Lynn Sr. to take his son Ross, his sister Lynn to take care of her daughter Roxi, and her sister Luna to take care of her daughters Rebeca and Ramona, but she still had to call for two of her daughters.

-------

At the same time, in the middle of a congested highway outside the Royal Wood boundaries, Rita II, the fifth daughter of Ronnie and Lincoln, was aboard Vanzilla with her aunt Lily, who were on their way home from a skateboard convention.

-The convention, the convention, the convention, the convention- Rita sang still excited, dressed in a convention cap and shirt and with her face covered in Maori-style paint.

-I know, cute, I had fun too- Lily said with frayed nerves and gently trying to silence her niece -the drawings are very interesting, they have given me ideas for new works, (perhaps I will do some of them tonight on some walls)- she whispered and then pretended not to have said anything.

-Thanks again for taking me Aunt Lily, everyone else was busy- answered Rita with childish joy -and thanks also for my tattoos- she said as she looked at herself in the car mirror.

-No problem, pretty- Lily answered more calmly -just don't forget to tell your parents that they are temporary.

-Are they temporary?- the little girl questioned with disappointment.

At that moment Lily's phone rang, and with traffic stopped she answering.

-Office of the great artist Lily Loud- Lily answers pretending to be her secretary -at the moment she is busy, but you can leave your message and I will pass it to her when I am available- Lily's face changes to surprise when she hears the news -What?!... when?... where?... don't worry Lincoln, we're already on our way, we'll be right there- he said before hanging up.

Immediately afterward, Lily explained to Rita II that her mother had started giving birth to the new baby, and the whole family was heading to the hospital to greet him.

Rita II felt a great mix of emotions, from joy and fear, to excitement and surprise at the thought that she had a new brother or sister, but her encouragement began to wane when she realized that they would be late due to traffic.

-No- Lily said in such a determined way that she surprised Rita -in 17 years I haven't missed the birth of any of my nephews, and I'm not going to start now- she said as she undid the steering wheel, she put it under the seat and then put it changed for what looked like a Formula 1 steering wheel -Rita, fasten your seatbelt and close your eyes, no child should see what I'm about to do.

Rita II obeyed her aunt, while Lily played an old tape with the song "Highway to Hell".

And when the music got to the chorus Rita II felt the car shake with skidding sounds, this was followed by more jerky movements next to smell of fuel, then the sound of wood breaking along with neighing horses, mooing cows and pecking chickens, water under the tires, and a man's voice cursing city dwellers and their floating cars, more wood breaking, and the sound of plants hitting the bumper, Rita II opened her eyes for a moment and was startled to see a scarecrow on the windshield, she closed them again, and the sound continued, until suddenly nothing was heard but the tires rolling freely, along with a strange feeling of lightness, followed by what seemed like a regretful landing, just before everything returned to normal.

-You can open your eyes now, sweetie- Lily said with a calm voice -if your parents ask, remember that we took the panoramic route from the beginning.

Rita II looked around her and saw in surprise how they were now driving calmly through a clear country road, and having an idea of ​​what had happened, Rita II knew exactly what to say.

-Aunt Lily, you are my favorite aunt.

-I know honey, but remember to thank your Aunt Lana for fixing Vanzilla and Aunt Leni for the driving lessons."

And so both girls headed to the hospital hoping to have some loud after a silent trip.

Meanwhile, back at the old Loud house, Ruby, Ronnie and Lincoln's sixth child, was with her cousin Asil and her aunt Lisa in their old room turned lab.

Lisa was pouring a few drops of blue liquid into a yellow test tube, until the contents turned bright green.

-Very well, now we just have to wait- said Lisa while the three of them looked carefully at the test tube -just remember that variations in the environment could cause...

Lisa's words were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Grandma Rita.

-Girls, good news!- Rita yelled as she opened the door and turned on the light in the room.

Instantly, the girls and Lisa turned around being hit in the eyes by the light.

-My eyes!- Lisa yelled, pretending that she was writhing in agony on the floor.

-The Light burns me- Ruby said as she covered her face with her arm like a vampire.

And Asil just huffed and ran between the furniture before hiding under Lisa's bed, from where she made angry cat noises.

-Very funny- Rita said calmly but annoyed.

-I'm sorry grandma- Ruby answered trying to calm her grandmother -Aunt Lisa taught us how to do non-lethal experiments.

-I see, that's good- Rita said calmly before using a stern tone with Lisa -Lisa, I didn't mean this when I told you to play with the girls.

-I assumed that at first, mother- Lisa answered while helping Asil to get out from under the bed -but the infant descendant of Lincoln expressed her interest in science, and I thought I'd show her a bit of my skills in the matter, besides, As she herself has explained, none of this can cause significant damage, I think that meets her gaming requirements.

-I guess so- Rita said with a resigned sigh, "just make sure you clean everything up afterwards."

-I promise mother, in any case, what was the reason for your sudden arrival a few moments ago?- Lisa questioned.

-Oh, it's true!- Rita shouted remembering -Lincoln called, Ronnie is going to give birth and we have to go to the hospital now!

The three of them let out a cry of emotion, hurting Asil's ears, Ruby was happy because now she would have a little brother and she would stop being the baby sister, Lisa because she would be the first of her nephews she could see born, and Rita was always excited when I had a new grandson.

The three of them were so happy that they barely noticed Asil, who was tugging at Lisa's robe to get their attention.

-What's going on, honey?- Lisa asked her daughter.

-Tube make noise- Asil replied as he pointed to the test tube on the table.

-Is it normal for him to do that?- Rita asked worried as they watched him bubble and smoke.

-No, it's not- Lisa answered quietly as she placed protective goggles on everyone's eyes.

Seconds later it was seen how an explosion of green bubbles suddenly opened the window of the room, leaving behind them a trail of foam, and from the midst of the chaos Lisa's voice was still heard.

-Somebody say something... only the living.

Both Rita and Ruby and Asil replied that they were fine and not hurt.

Despite the mess, the four of them closed everything and ran to the hospital, because although Lisa would have to come back later to clean everything, this was an important event that none of them planned to miss no matter how many loud explosions came their way.

-------

After making the calls using their hands-free phone, Lincoln and Ronnie finally made it to the hospital, parked and ran to the emergency room, where they asked for a wheelchair to go to the delivery area where they were greeted by their doctor.

-Well, well, Mr. and Mrs. Loud- said the doctor entering the delivery area with joy -I was not expecting them until next week to perform the cesarean section.

-I know, but it seems that the little ones had other plaaaaaaaa!- Lincoln said and shouted when he felt how her wife squeezed his hand because of the pain of another contraction.

-Damn!, and it's all your fault, Lincoln!, I hate you, I hate you!- Ronnie shouted in pain.

-Don't worry, they always say that- the doctor said trying to cool things down.

-I know, it's not the first time I've heard it- Lincoln said trying to regain sensitivity in his hand -just ask my brother-in-law Bobby.

-Very well, we will prepare her and start the surgery shortly, are your expecting someone else?- asked the doctor.

And as if on omen, the sound of cars speeding into the parking lot was replaced by the sound of voices, shouts, and footsteps loud moving down the hall.

The Loud family members had finally arrived and were all trying to get in to see Ronnie and Lincoln, but were stopped by the male nurse.

-Stand back, stand back, all of you- the nurse shouted to get them out of the corridor -only people over 18 years of age can enter, and only family members- upon hearing that, the 8 adults stood in front of the nurse -are they all relatives?- the 8 felt - what am I going to do?

Seeing the predicament Rita took a step in front of her saying that she was her grandmother, so they let her pass, but before leaving Lincoln came out.

-Lisa, don't go- Lincoln said calling his sister -Ronnie and I talked and we would like you to be the godmother- everyone was surprised, especially Lisa -you have proven to be a strange, but very good mother, practically all of us are already godparents and godmothers of a family member, and it's time for you too.

Lisa was speechless with happiness, but she managed to nod her head, she left Asil in the care of her family and entered just before Ronnie called out from the delivery room.

-Lincoln, you better come back or I'll go get you!-

-We're going over there, honey! And all of you behave yourself, obey your aunts, we'll see you in an hour- he said before looking at his children -what happened to them?- Lincoln asked before being called again by the shouts of Ronnie -never mind, we'll talk later- and he ran off.

For the next hour, all the members of the Loud family were in the waiting room, the older ones taking advantage of the time to notify family members who were away and/or busy, promising that they would make a video call later, while the youngest entertained themselves by keeping each other company.

Lani and Third helped Ross distribute pieces of his sweet potato pie, Darwin apologized to Roxi for splashing his blood while Roxi apologized for said the reason for her nosebleed, Ramona and Rebeca accompanied Rita II while she told them everything she had seen at the skateboard convention, and Ruby took the opportunity to explain to Asil what a godmother was.

And finally Lincoln went out to call his family, they all used their devices to start the video call of all family members, and with as much silence as possible they entered the room where Rita, Lisa, Ronnie and a new baby with black hair and a white lock on her forehead.

-She's a girl- Ronnie said in a soft voice -come say hello to her little sister-

The 6 children of Ronnie and Lincoln approached the bed, with faces of surprise and happiness.

-And also say hello to your other two sisters- Lincoln said with a soft voice and appearing behind his children with a baby in each arm, each one with black hair and white locks.

For the first time, the entire room was left in true silence, both by those present and those who saw them through video calls, but a few seconds later, almost everyone let out a scream that they tried to cover with their hands to avoid waking the three new babies.

And after a long time of explanations and congratulations, everyone finally calmed down, just in time to see the triplets wake up who were looking with astonishment and joy at their family members.

And between the emotions and babbling, finally someone asked for their names, Ronnie and Lincoln looked at each other and with a smile they began to introduce them.

-Well, this one here- Lincoln said looking at the baby on her left arm -she has a very attentive look at everything around her, I think she will become a good leader, that's why we have decided to call her "Ronalda" .

They all smiled as they looked at Ronnie Anne.

-This little girl- Ronnie said as she looked at the baby she was carrying in her arms -she is very cheerful, she makes me feel good when I see her, that's why we will call her "Roberta".

Everyone smiled a little laugh, especially Bobby from a cell phone screen, letting out a few tears.

-We already have Ronalda, Roberta and...- Lincoln said looking at the baby on his right arm -"Romana", because it also starts with "R"- he said while his daughter changed to a tender expression of anger -and together they are the new Loud triplets.

After hearing their names, everyone was very happy, and soon after, Lisa asked everyone to leave the room to let her goddaughters rest, but before leaving, she asked Lincoln for his phone to take a picture of the new Loud family.

A peculiar image that included the triplets, their parents, a cook with his clothes burned, a girl with blood stains, two twins with clothes from the old west, a girl with a face full of temporary tattoos and a little girl covered with green bubbles, they were all part of a noisy and tight-knit family.

Lisa took the photo, but when she did, the flash went off, scaring the babies, making them cry in unison, and among that chorus of tears, Grandma Rita looked at her husband and said with a knowing smile:

-Well, it was a good start.
