Epilogue: After Christmas
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 presents. Lincoln (7) was watching over the twin toddlers Lola and Lana (both 2) as they played. It was clear to him that even though the two were twins they were acting differently but could not put his finger on it. Then Lori (13, awkward stage appearance) Came in.

Lori: Hey Lincoln! Hey Twins!

Lola and Lana cherred seeing their oldest sister.

Lincoln: Hey Lori. 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.

Lori: 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.

Lori: Well you literally didn't come out a girl. Hmmm....Somehow I like that word. Literally....Hmmmm....

Lincoln: I might be the only expection in this family.

Lori sat down with Lincoln. Lola went to Lori wanting to be held. Lori picked her baby sister up and placed her on her lap.

Lori: 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.

Lori smiled at her brother.

Lori: 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.

Lori: You mean how she literally 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?

Lori: 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.

Lori: I literally 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!

Lynn just storms off. The others were concered while the twins din't know what happened.

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!

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 anwser your question, I'm sure it's 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.
