Here's an epilouge to "The Loudest Yard".

(after Lincoln's screw-up, his team mates charged at him. he tried to run, but got a Charlie horse. this allowed them to catch up to him and start pummeling him, after a few punches and kicks, the coach blew his whistle and the team left. Lincoln had bruises all over his body and went unconscious from the pain. Lincoln woke up in the hospital, in a bed, with Rita sitting in front of him with a concerned look on her face)

Lincoln: "Mom?" (the two were silent for a minute) "Listen. I'm sorry for lying. I know you must be disappointed in me, and even embarrassed by-."

Rita: "No, Lincoln. I'm the one who should be sorry."

Lincoln: (confused) "Huh?"

Rita: "I was mad at first, but after seeing you be brutalized by those football players, I thought of something on the way here."

Lincoln: "What's that."

Rita: "All I wanted was for you to exercise, but I realized that signing you up for a sport without your consent not the way to go. And after seeing you get beat up like that, I feel horrible. I never should've signed you up for a sport behind your back. It was wrong of you to trick us, but it was also wrong of me to force you to do something that's not in your interest."

Lincoln: (sits up) "So, I'm not a disappointment to you?"

Rita: "No. Why would you think such a thing?"

Lincoln: "Well, I saw how upset you were after the truth came out, especially since you were proud of what Lynn was achieving when you thought she was me. Then when I messed up, everyone booed me, and my team was mad and started beating me up. I was starting to think that for the rest of my life, I would be nothing but a disappointment to you, dad, and my sisters, except maybe Lynn and Lily. That you and dad wouldn't see me as your son anymore."

Rita: "LINCOLN!" (Lincoln was shocked) "Don't you dare say such things! Your father and I would never see you that way!"

Lincoln: "Mom?"

Rita: (begin crying softly) "I'm so sorry. I forced you to do something you didn't like, and look were that ended up. Now you're here with bruises all over your body. Lincoln. I love you no matter what. So does you father and you sisters. I'm sorry I made you feel otherwise."

Lincoln: "Mom. I'm not upset with you."

Rita: "You're not?"

Lincoln: "No. I should've just told you that Lynn tried to train me, but I just couldn't do it. But even if I told you, would you have let me quit the team?"

Rita: "I... I don't know."

Lincoln: "Well, that doesn't matter to me anymore. I'm just happy that it's over."

Rita: (Hugs Lincoln, gently because of his bruises) "I love you, Sweetie."

Lincoln: (returns the hug) "I love you to, mom."

3 WEEKS LATER

(Lincoln has fully recovered. He is in the living room watching TV. He sees his mother in her workout clothes)

Lincoln: "You going out for a jog?"

Rita: "Yes, honey. I am"

Lincoln: "Mind if I join you?"

Rita: (smile) "Of course you can."

(Lincoln gets off the couch and follows his mother. the two go outside and jog for a while)
