Lynn just storms off. Then Leni (12) came up to the door.





Leni: Poor Lynn. I don't think I can help her there and I usually like helping others.





Lincoln: I know you do, Leni. I mean you were good at helping me get over moving into the linen closet.





Leni: Aww! Don't mention it, Linky.







Luna: Oh yeah, bro. First you were with Lynn and Lucy. Then that unused room and now that room is gonna be the new baby's room.





Lincoln: Yeah. I don't mind a smaller space since babies need more room. Also I'm getting away from the smell. Ewww!







The others were concerned while the twins didn't know what happened.

== Prologue =================================================================================It was winter and the loud house was lively as ever. Christmas ended and the kids were busy in their rooms with their new toys and other presents. Lincoln (age 7) was watching over the twin toddlers Lola and Lana (both 2) as they played. It was clear after that vacation they had separate from each other that they were acting differently from each other. Then Luna (11) Came in.Luna: Hey Lincoln! Hey Twins!Lola and Lana cheered seeing their older sister.Lincoln: Hey Luna. I was just continuing to work on being a good big brother. I need that for our next sister on the way.He meant about how their mom was pregnant again and was expecting soon.Luna: Wait, aren't you usually hoping for a brother?Lincoln: At this rate, I might never get a brother. It always ends up a girl.Luna: Well you didn't come out a girl.Lincoln: I might be the only exception in this family.Luna sat down with Lincoln. Lola went up to Luna wanting to be held. Luna picked her baby sister up and placed her on her lap.Luna: Hey, as long as our parents keep having kids for some reason there will always be a chance you could have a brother.Lincoln: I'm just not getting my hopes up as much so it doesn't disappoint me. That's all. I mean either way, I will still care and love my siblings no matter what.Luna smiled at her brother.Luna: That's good to hear.Lincoln then placed Lana on his lap.Lincoln: To be honest, it sometimes feels like Lana here is a boy with how she acts.Luna: You mean how she loved playing in that mud puddle she found last summer?Lincoln: Yeah and the way she kept splashing Lola with it making her scream.They both laugh. Then Luan (10) came in.Luan: Hey! Why is there laughing that I didn't cause?The twins were delighted to see Luan as she has been entertaining them their whole lives. She went up and let the twins crawl up to her.Luan: So what are you guys up to?Luna: We were just talking about our next sibling on the way.Luan: Oh yeah! I heard that since mom got pregnant she has been eating a lot of fish. She's got hooked on the seafood of that seafood place.Lincoln: (giggled) Yeah and she thinks since it's considered "brain food" that it will make the baby smarter.Luna: Yeah! I don't see that happening.Then they hear Lynn jr (9) groaning in the hall hearing what they were saying.Lynn: Sometimes I wish she did that for me. I am struggling in school work and if I don't get better I might get held back a grade and worse get kicked off all the sports teams.Lincoln: How is that worst then getting held back a grade?Lynn: It's worse to me!Downstairs, Rita was on her bed rubbing her pregnant belly while Lynn Sr was checking up on her and serving her clam chowder.Rita: Thanks honey. You know, part of me was expecting our new baby to be out before Christmas.Lynn Sr: I'm sure that would make it more chaotic then it usually is here.Rita: True! Now do you think this little one will not have complications at birth like Lucy?Lucy: What to you mean?The parents jumped up scared seeing Lucy (4) standing at the edge of the bed.Rita: Oh sweetie! don't........worry about that. Also, what did we tell you of scaring people?Lucy: Sigh! You know I can't help it.Lucy then walks away and disappears into the darkness.Rita: She doesn't just look like grandma Harriet but she acts like her too.Lynn Sr: Well to answer your question, I'm sure our new baby will be fine even with all this fish food you've been eating.Rita: You think it would actually make our child smart?Lynn Sr: Who knows? Hopefully it comes out healthy and our other kids will get along with him or her.== Ch 1: Lisa is born ===========================================================================Soon the day came. It was January early when Rita's water broke. Both parents left the kids home with Lori to watch over. Lynn Sr drove Rita to the hospital.Lynn Sr: How are you holding up, honey?Rita: Ohhh! Fine so far. I mean I've done this a few times already so I've gotten use to it.Lynn Sr: As long as there is no issues then that's good.Soon they got to the hospital and Rita was sent to the delivery room. Hours later, she successfully gave birth.Doctor: It's a girl!Lynn Sr: Again!? I mean.....Great!Rita: (laughing) You sounded just like Lincoln! Bring her here!The doctor then gave her the baby after Lynn Sr cut the cord. Somehow, the baby wasn't crying like all newborns would. She did whimper a bit but then when she was in her mother's hands she opened her eyes and looked around like she was analyzing her surroundings.Rita: She seems....odd.Lynn Sr: (panicking) She's not starring at you like Lucy, is she?Rita: Thankfully no but....Lynn Sr: Then that's fine. Now did we think of a name yet?Rita: This time I'm thinking......Lisa.Lynn Sr: Lisa? Perfect!Lisa: Ahhhh......Li.....sa....Then everyone was shocked from what Lisa just said.Doctor: Did she just say her name? Newborns can't talk right away!! Can they?Lisa: Talk......right.......away.....hmmmm....Later, Some of the hospital doctors and staff were studying Lisa for a bit in the nursery. Then one doctor came back to her parents.Lynn Sr: So what did you find out?Doctor: It's amazing. Your kid kept mimicking our words but I don't think she knows their meaning right away. It's like she's already learning.Rita: Maybe all that fish did do something.Lynn Sr: Maybe! So what now?Doctor: Well, someone decided to call the University of Michigan and some of the top minds wish to study her for a while.Rita: What?! I can't have my new daughter become a lab experiment!Doctor: They said they would be careful and only have her in their care for two weeks at best. They don't wanna keep her from her family for too long. They just want to know about her and her rapidly developing mind. They will compensate you for the time being.The parents gave this much thought. There were expenses at their home that they were struggling with. After much discussion and negotiations over the phone they decided to let them look over Lisa for a while. But they wanted updates everyday to know she's fine. When the parents got home, the kids were confused why their new sister wasn't with them. After the parents explained, some could not believe they let those people take her while others understood the reason.== Ch 2: Lisa comes home =======================================================================Two weeks later, they got a phone call from the University representative. Lynn Sr answered it.Lynn Sr: Hello?Rep: Hello Mr. Loud.Lynn Sr: Oh hey! How is our daughter?Rep: You'll be happy to know that we are done with our tests and she is being brought back to your house as we speak.Lynn Sr: Oh Yes! I was hoping to see her again. How did it go?Rep: It was intriguing to our best minds how a newborn mind could develop so fast. During our tests, she somehow got a hold of one of our tablet devices and started learning from the internet. We didn't realize this until she had started speaking in a broader vocabulary. Of course being that her eyes were more sensitive, starring at it for too long gave her an astigmatism. We of course made her custom glasses since laser surgery and contacts were out of the question.Lynn Sr: Oh my! She wasn't hurt any other way was she? (angry) I swear if you.....!Rep: Calm down! She is fine. Just don't be freaked out when she starts talking to you and acting like she is smarter cause she might be at this point.Lynn Sr: I don't care so long as I can see her again.Rep: That's the spirits. Expect her with my people later today. Thank you for your cooperation in this.The representative hung up and Lynn Sr told Rita that Lisa was coming home. She was excited to see her new daughter again. Soon enough a car pulled up in front of the Loud house. The parents went out to the car and spoke with the person holding baby Lisa. She was wrapped in a warm green blanket and had small round-frammed glasses with a band on the back to hold them on her face. Soon they were given Lisa and a custom tablet device for her to use. The man then left in the car as the parents looked down at Lisa with joy.Rita: Welcome home, Lisa.Lisa: Greetings, parental units.Rita: (in awe) Whoa! They weren't kidding when they said you could talk already.Lisa: Your reactions are to be expected as newborn babies aren't suppose to be this way. But this is a special exception given my early developed mind. Also, I believe from what I heard that it was caused from mother's flounder diet as well as father's diet of peanuts and wheat.Lynn Sr: Oh right. I was hooked on peanut butter toast at the time.Soon they brought her inside the house.Lisa: Is it true that I have 9 siblings? What would possess you to reproduce at such a large scale?Both the parents just looked at each other awkwardly.Lisa: (groan) Never mind for now if that's something you wish not to share right away.Lynn Sr: (sighs) That goodness!Rita: Well, most of your siblings are at school right now but we do have three here.Rita brought Lisa upstairs to see the twins in their room. Lola was currently playing with a doll while Lana was playing with a frog plushy.Rita: This is Lola and Lana.Lisa: Twins huh? They seem alike but they must be developing differences already.Rita then took Lisa out to the hall.Rita: Now there is also your sister Lucy but it's hard to know where she is. She is a slippery one.Lucy: I'm right here.Rita and Lisa were scared when Lucy was right in front of them.Rita: Oh! There you are, sweetie.Lisa: Was her jump-scaring really necessary?Lucy: Sigh! It's just the way I move though the universe.Lisa: Gloomy, is she?Rita: Yes. Not sure why but were not judging how she wants to be.Rita then smelled something foal from Lisa.Rita: OH! Did someone just make a stinky?Lisa: (embarrassed) Ummm....yes. I believe Lucy's surprise appearance caused my bowls to release and.....Rita: It's alright, sweetie.She takes her to the room she made for Lisa and placed her down on the changing table. She then started changing Lisa's diaper.Rita: Hold still.Lisa: This is very undignified as it is necessary. Of course it's not like I can physically do anything about it myself yet. I will say however that your hands are more gentle then the ones in the university and....I feel I trust you more with this task.Rita: Of course you would. I'm your mother and you know I love you. Your more safe with me.Lisa: Is this what family affection is? Then......I guess it's acceptable.Once Rita was done changing Lisa, she picked her back up.Rita: There we go. Anything else we need?Lisa: I am feeling a bit peckish.Rita smiled and soon sat down to breast feed her little baby. Lisa was not sure if she wanted to do this but then tried it. She ended up enjoying it more then the milk they gave her at the university. Soon she finished.Lisa: Ah! That was......good. Wait! (grunt) I feel uncomfortable pressure in my stomach.Rita: Oh you just need to be burped.Rita put Lisa over her shoulder and rubbed her back. She then gently patted her back.Lisa: (burp) Ahhh! Much needed relief. (Yawn) Now I feel sleepy.Rita then took her over to the crib and laid her down placing the blanket over her. She also removed Lisa's glasses.Rita: There you go, sweetie.Lisa: (yawn) Yes, I will require REM sleep to conserve my energy for body growth.Rita: And when you wake up, you'll be able to see your other siblings.Lisa: Under...(yawn)...stood.Lisa then fell asleep. Rita then kissed her forehead.Rita: Good to have you home at last.== Ch 3: Meeting the rest =======================================================================Later that day, Rita was carrying Lisa while heading downstairs.Rita: Alright Lisa. Time to meet your other siblings.Lisa: I see no point to this but if I must....Rita: Don't be like that. They really want to meet you.Soon, they got to the living room where the other siblings were excited to see their new sister. Rita gave Lisa to Lori (13, awkward stage appearance) and left them to get to know each other.Lori: Hi there, little sister. I'm your oldest sister Lori.Lisa: I can see someone also wears glasses other then me.Lori: Wow! You can talk already. Well I'm planning on getting contacts soon or maybe laser them.Leni: You would really let them fry your eyes? Are you crazy?Lori slaps her forehead.Lori: That's Leni. She is...well....Lisa: An ignoramus?Lori: Kind of harsh to say that, isn't it?Leni: is it? I don't even know what it means. Is it a type of smoothie?Lincoln: What about.....ditzy? I think that's an anime term meaning the same.Leni: Oh! I like that better!Lori: Right......Anyway, over here is Luna. She is musically gifted.Lisa: In what type of music exactly?Luna: Still trying to figure that out but I'm sure I'll ace it when I do.Lori: Moving on, over here is Luan.Luan then pulled out googly eye glasses.Luan: Hello baby!Lisa was not impressed.Lori: Yeah....I don't think she likes that.Luan: Aw! babies always love these.Lisa: Well I am not one of those easily amused ones your use to in case you didn't notice.Luan: Well, hope to ''make your case'' soon. Grrrr! That was stupid! I need to get better at these jokes!Lori: Please don't! Over here is Lynn Jr. She is hooked on sports.Lynn: Hey baby sis! You into any sports? We can play together and.....Lisa: Do I look like I'm capable of any physical activity?Lynn: Oh! Point taken.Lori: Last and literally not least, here is our one and only brother Lincoln.Lincoln: Hey! Let me hold her!Lori headed Lisa to him.Lincoln: Hey Lisa.Lisa: You are....fascinating. And I don't mean cause of you being the one male out of several females. For starters, that hair does not match our parentals.Lincoln: I know, right? I don't know why it's white either. Of course it does help me stand out.Lisa: That it does.Lincoln: Well, I want you to know I will be there for you and do whatever you need me to do.Lisa thought about that for a while.Lisa: I believe I will hold you on that offer.Lincoln: Just remember were a family and we love you.Lisa: Umm.....Good to hear I guess. I mean I'm not sure I'm able to express the same emotion but...Lucy: Really?Everyone gets scared when she appeared.Lucy: She's emotionally empty.Luan: And that's her saying that.Lori: Well can you at least try to care for us like we do you?Lisa: I....will try.Lincoln: Works for me.Lynn Sr: (Off-screen) Kids, did you make sure to finish your homework?Lori: Yes daddy! Wait, did everyone?Everyone nodded except Lynn jr who just looked away embarrassed.Lori: (eyebrow raised) Lynn?Lynn: (Groan) You know I'm still having trouble. I can't finish it cause I don't know what I'm doing.Lincoln: In what subject?Lynn: ALL OF THEM! (crying) I just know I'm gonna get kicked off all the sports teams and my life will be.....Lisa: Excuse me? Perhaps I can help.Lynn: YOU?! How can I newborn baby help me?Later in Lynn & Lucy's room, Lynn was on her bed with her homework and had Lisa in her lap helping her with them. With Lisa's help, she was able to finish all of them.Lynn: Holy-Moly! I never expected you to be so amazing at this.Lisa: I studied more complex stuff during my time at the university so this is as you simpletons would call it a "cake walk" for me.Lynn: Well, I hope to get more help from you in the future. Maybe the others would use it as well.Lisa: Well I do need something productive to do while waiting for my body to grow. I plan to do my own experiments once I have the necessary motor skills.Lynn: Well when your older I can help get you in good shape. I'm sure even a nerd would need exercise now and then. How else will you be able to out run bullies in school?Lisa: A fair point. I will take you up on that future offer.Then Leni came in with something for Lisa.Leni: You guys done? I just put together something for our little genius. Ta-da!She made Lisa a green onesie. Lisa did not know how to react to this.Lisa: Ummm.....how thoughtful of you, Leni.Leni: Do you not like it?Lisa: I didn't say that! It's just.....I'm not sure if I can express the right reaction for this.Leni: Well at least try it on.Lynn helped Leni put the onesie on Lisa. Lisa was surprised at how warm and comfortable it was.Lynn: Lookin' good!Lisa: Wow! This actually.....is nice.Leni: (teary eyed) Awww! Your welcome sister!She gave Lisa a big hug and Lisa felt something. She thought it was just the warmth but it was different. She wondered if this was the family love siblings could have. It felt nice that Lisa found herself hugging Leni back. Lynn Sr then peeked in the door seeing the adorable moment between the two sisters.Lynn Sr: Whoa! Someone get a camera here! Quick!==Ch 4: Leni helps Lisa==========================================================================More then a year pass and Lisa kept learning more from her tablet and helping her siblings with their homework. One day, she was in her room attempting to walk by herself but was having trouble continuing to fall on her butt.Lisa: Dang it! How is this so hard?Leni then came in the room hearing her sister.Leni: Is everything OK in here?Lisa: No need to worry Leni. I'm just trying to walk here.Leni: Oh! I can totes help with that!Lisa: Why would I want help from a ignora.....I mean "ditzy" sister with this?Leni: I helped the twins to walk so I know what to do.Lisa was going back to trying herself but still having trouble.Lisa: Dang it! Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt.Leni: Not anymore then that fall.Leni then had Lisa sit in front of her and then held her hands. She then pulled Lisa up on her feet. Lisa wobbled a bit trying to keep her balance.Lisa: Whoa! Whoa!Leni: Take you time to get your barrings. I'm right here for you.Once it seemed Lisa could keep balanced, Leni let go of her hands and moved back to the other side of the room.Leni: Ok Lisa. Try to come to me.Lisa: (nervious) Ummm....Ok...Lisa tried to walk but fell over after two steps.Lisa: Dang it!Leni: It's OK! We can keep trying.Leni went back to lift Lisa back up on her feet and then had her try walking again. They kept this up for a few minutes but soon enough Lisa got the hang of it and was able to stumble into Leni's arms from where she was.Leni: Super job, Lisa!Lisa: Wow! That really did help. I mean I still have work to do on it but your method may have push my progress forward.Leni: Your welcome, sis! I'm always willing to help. They say it's my best trait to help others. Some say my big heart makes up for my tiny brain. Though I don't know if they mean physically or....Lisa: Yes well I do appreciate it. You know, I also may need someone to watch over me while I attempt potty training.Leni: I would love to help you.Soon enough, they were in the bathroom and a training potty was set up. Leni watched as Lisa examined the potty.Lisa: Hmmm.....No chance of leaks.....The seat seems stable and won't let me fall thought.....Does this seem good to you?Leni: I think so. I just hope this isn't embarrassing for you.Lisa: Not at all compared to diaper changing. Other babies are lucky they don't remember that part of their lives. Alright, here we go. Help me on here.Leni helped Lisa remove her diaper and sit her on the potty.Leni: Alright, you ready to go?Luan is heard laughing off screen.Lisa: (looking down confused) I.....don't know. I mean I think I need to go but nothing is coming out of me. Maybe.....Lucy: Hey guys.Leni and Lisa was scared seeing Lucy appear right next to the potty. The surprise caused Lisa's bowels to release getting all that came out within the potty.Lisa: Whoa! That did it!Leni: Yey! Your doing it Lisa!Lisa: (relieved) Ahhh! thank you for that, Lucy.Lucy: (confused) Your....welcome? Anyway, I came to tell you guys that mom is pregnant again.Leni: Oh! I love hearing that!Lisa: Must our parentals spawn so many children?Lucy: No one knows why but we don't question it.Leni: Plus, it's exciting seeing a new sibling. You never know how they will come out. I mean we didn't expect you to come out like you did.Lisa: True. I guess it might be interesting.Lucy: Keep in mind, you may need to share your room with the new baby.Lisa: What?! I may need to take this with the parentals later. But first, I need Leni to get me off this thing and help me wipe.Leni: Oh, of course.==Ch 5: Getting ready for the future================================================================More months pass. Lisa was in her room working on something when Lincoln walked inside.Lincoln: Hey Lisa!Lisa: Greetings brother.Lincoln looked around and saw her room was now filled with expensive looking science equipment.Lincoln: Where did all this come from?Lisa: The university lend me this equipment to help me pursue my own personal studies. I was able to since I grown enough to handle them.Lincoln: Was mom and dad OK with this?Lisa: Not sure really. I will try not to do any serious damage to the house and everyone in it. So what did you come in for?Lincoln: Oh right! I was wondering how your preparing for the new baby.Lisa: Well, I was not thrilled to hear I needed to share my space with someone.Lincoln: Well be lucky you have an actual room. I live in a closet and that took me a while to get use to.Lisa: I was wondering why you didn't share a room with anyone.Lincoln: Mostly cause I'm the only boy. Not that I couldn't share a room with one of my sisters before. I did share a room with Lynn when I was younger but when she got rough with me they had to separate us.Lisa: I see. Well, I have prepared for the new baby. With help from Lynn, I installed a special ventilation system to deal with any odors from both the baby and my chemicals so neither of us suffocate. Also blast shields that pop out to protect the baby from explosions.Lincoln: Wow!Lisa: I would have been done there but then mother mentioned something to benefit the child. So I'm making this.She lifted what she was working on.Lisa: This motorized crib mobile plays sounds and flashes lights to stimulate the child's mind as well as entertain. Of course I had to test it to make sure it wouldn't hypnotize the baby or give it seizures.Lincoln: That's.....sounds good.Lisa: I would not have cared before but......I guess you caring siblings rubbed off on me a bit making me care for family members. At least to some extent.Lincoln smiled sitting next to Lisa.Lincoln: Let's good to hear since you use to act so distant.Lisa: I know. I mean I would focus on my studies but it seems stupid to turn my back on the people who took care of me during my growth. Mostly you, Leni and mother.Lincoln then hugged her making her blush.Lincoln: That is so great to hear.Lisa: Um....yes. Now please let me go so I can get back to work.Lincoln then let her go and left the room. Then Luna walked in the door smiling.Luna: I heard that and loved every minute of it.Lisa:So you were listening in on me and Lincoln's conversation? For what reason?Luna: It just reminded me of how I use to watch over Lincoln when he was your age. Looks like both Lincoln and Leni did a good job watching over you and making sure you become a good person.Lisa: (blushed) Oh! Well I guess I did try to focus on being alone too much so my attitude would of led to me isolating myself from them completely. That does not seem healthy now that I think of it.Luna: There ya go! Now keep that in mind cause soon you will have a little one to watch over.As Luna left, Lisa was in deep thought of what she said. She was gonna have a younger sibling soon and would have to be as responsible as her older siblings. She was worried she might mess up somehow but then remembered that her other siblings will be there just in case. This put her at ease and get back to work.==Epilogue===================================================================================It is now the present day when Lisa was 4 years old and already made several noble prizes.Lisa was asleep in her bed when she was woken up by Lily crying from her crib across the room. Lisa put on her glasses and walked over still half asleep. She then used stool to climb up and looked over the side of the crib.Lisa: What is the matter, youngest sibling?Lily looked like she was scared.Lisa: Did you have unpleasant REM sleep mental imagery, street name: nightmare?Lily nodded. Lisa then thought for what to do in this situation. She could not use or make anything from science to help with this at such short notice. Then she remembered when she was Lily's age and how her family helped her in these situation.Lisa: Well, I've heard one method to handle this situation that would make you feel more secure and willing to go back to sleep. Would you.....care to sleep in my bed tonight?Lily smiled and nodded happily. Lisa then tried to pick up Lily but had trouble being that she was not really strong. It didn't help that Lily crawled onto her and caused Lisa to fall back on the floor.Lisa: Ooooof! You have greatly increase in body mass since last time.Lisa then got Lily to her bed and got back under the covers with her. Lily cuddled up to Lisa feeling safe. Lisa looked at her and couldn't help but smile. Now it felt like she understood what her family feels doing stuff like this. She felt warm inside like she never did before. Something that science could never explain if she didn't experience it first hand. She put her glasses away and held Lily close to her chest as they both fell back asleep.Of course outside their door peeking though a crack was Lincoln and Leni. Since Lincoln was next door and Leni got up earlier for a glass of water, they both heard the thud of Lisa hitting the floor and went to check up on her. They saw what she was doing with Lily and were proud of her for being a good sister to Lily.THE END
