A/N: Hello everyone! I thought that I would bring a new story to you guys. This idea has been in my mind for months now and it is unlike anything I have written so far. I hope you enjoy!

Edit: Thank you to the people who let me know there was a problem with this chapter. That was unintentional and I have no idea what happened. Some of you guys were rude about it though, thanks for that (sarcasm). It should be fixed now though hopefully.

There are many miracles in life. Many of which are unexpected. They can change the people you love, and sometimes even give you someone new to love.

"Hey! Would you hurry up please!", Luna shouted as she banged on the bathroom door. "There are others who need to use the bathroom, dude".

Lori Loud sat on the seat of the toilet. In her hands, she held a small stick. She held it with nervous and shaking hands as she waited for the results. Ten minutes after having came into the bathroom, she sat there with a look of shock on her face.

The stick had two small lines that made a plus sign. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "So, it's positive…," she thought to herself.

Lori was broken out of her thoughts by her siblings pounding on the door. She rubbed her temples as she heard the many moans and groans from outside the door.

She got up and went over to the garbage can next to the sink. She took the pregnancy test and wrapped it up in some toilet paper. Making sure to put it as deep into the garbage as possible.

Lori walked over to the door, and threw it open. She was greeted by eight of her siblings standing in line. "Okay, you can go ahead".

"It's about time", Luna said as she went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

Lori had many thoughts going through her head. What am I going to do? What will I tell Bobby? What will I tell Mom and Dad?

"Lori, are you okay?"

Lori looked over to see her little brother looking at her with a concerned face. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said comfortingly. "Don't worry about me".

Lincoln didn't think much of it, and shrugged his shoulders.

She turned the corner and went into her room that she shared with Leni. The girl was laying on her bed reading a magazine. She looked up when she noticed her older sister in the room. "Oh hey, Lori," she said looking up. "Are you feeling any better?".

Lori looked over to see her younger sister smiling at her. "Yeah", she responded.

"That's good to hear," Leni said as she went back to reading her magazine.

Lori hadn't been feeling so well lately. She was becoming more exhausted than usual, and was nauseous all the time. She thought maybe she had eaten something bad. Well, until a few minutes ago.

She went over to her bed, and rested her head on her pillow. She felt her phone vibrate, and pulled it out from under it. She squinted her eyes as she read the text on the screen.

Hey Babe, I love you and I hope you feel better soon

She smiled as her heart started to race. There was nothing like seeing your phone light up with a sweet text message from someone you love. She texted him back.

Thank you so much, Boo Boo Bear. I love you too xoxo

She hit send, and placed her phone on her heart. She and Bobby had been together for nearly a year now. They had met their junior year of high school, and were still dating as seniors.

He moved away to live with his big family a couple months ago. She rarely got to see him, but when the two were together, it was like no one else was around.

The two were inseparable. They hugged, and kissed, and made yearning eyes at each other whenever they were together.

Never would she have thought that she would be in this situation, but things could get pretty crazy between those two.

Her mind was flooded with thoughts from the last time they were together. How he kissed her gently on the lips. How she hugged him so tight he couldn't breathe.

Then came the thoughts from that night.

—

Lori and Lincoln had traveled three hours away to visit Bobby and Ronnie Anne. There was that feeling of relief when she saw him. His eyes met hers, and she knew she was home.

They spent the whole day together. She helped him out in the bodega, while Lincoln was with Ronnie Anne. While no one was looking, they would tease each other.

He would playfully slap her butt, while she would bend down to pick up something, making sure her breasts showed through her shirt.

It didn't take long for them to get the message.

Later that night, Lori made her way to Bobby's room. She knew he wasn't asleep yet, and so she slipped into his bed.

They weren't planning on it, but they could tell by each other's eyes that they wanted it. They knew in their hearts that they did.

It was amazing. Lori had never felt such a sensation before. It was as if her body was floating. She saw him in a way she never had before. All while trying their best to not wake up anyone.

She slept peacefully that night, right on his chest. The sounds of his snores calmed her down. She didn't think of what would happen if they got caught, and she didn't seem to care.

All that mattered was that they had come together.

—

Lori had fallen asleep during her thoughts. She woke up to her sister shaking her awake.

"Lori! Lori!," said Leni as she tried to wake up her sister.

Lori opened her eyes to see Leni staring at her. She sat up and wiped the drool off her mouth.

"Mom says it's time to come down for dinner".

"Tell her I'll be down in a minute".

"Okay!", Leni said as she happily skipped out of the room.

Lori got up and went over to the mirror hanging on the door. She looked down at her flat stomach. The thought that it wouldn't be like that for much longer was scary to her. She sighed softly as she stared at herself in the mirror. She made her way to the door and headed downstairs to the dining room.

The rest of the family was already seated at the table. Lily was in her high chair, and the twins were busy fighting over a piece of chicken. She took her seat, which was between Leni and Lincoln.

They smiled as they saw her older sister finally sit down. "Hey Lori," Lincoln said as he put a spoonful of mashed potatoes in his mouth.

"Hi Linc," she said. "What's for dinner?"

"Fried chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy," her dad answered as he handed the plate of food to her.

Normally, the food would've looked and smelled so good to her, but she gagged as soon as it hit her nose.

She jumped up from the table, and ran to the bathroom. The rest of the family watched with utter confusion.

"Mommy, what's wrong with Lori?", Lola asked.

"She hasn't been feeling well lately, sweetie," Rita said. "Probably has a stomach bug".

"She'd better not give it to me," Lynn said. "I have a soccer championship this week".

Lincoln put his spoon down and got up from the table. "I'll go check on her," he said as he headed towards the stairs.

He could hear the sounds of Lori vomiting from the top of the stairs. He frowned as he prepared to comfort his sister.

Lincoln went to the closed door and knocked on it. "Lori? Are you okay?"

Lori sighed as she heard her brother's voice from behind the door. The thought of saying "No, I'm not fine" crossed her mind, but she didn't want to worry him. She gathered up enough strength to make it over to the door.

She opened it to see Lincoln staring at her with a worried look on his face. "Don't worry about me, Linc," she told him. "I'm fine. Just, haven't been feeling well".

Lincoln had the feeling that something else was up, but didn't question it. "Oh…okay," he said as he looked down at his feet. "I'll get you some ginger ale".

She put her hand on his shoulder. "You're too sweet, Lincoln," she said with a smile. "Now go finish your food".

Lincoln nodded and headed back downstairs. Lori's expression changed as soon as he was out of her sightline. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this from them...

Doing chores is a necessity in any household. Without them, we would live in pigsties. Lincoln Loud's chore was to clean up the garbage.

He spent hours of each day changing the bags in various garbage cans, and picking up candy wrappers off the floor. It was a dirty job, but he didn't mind it as he knew none of his sisters would want to do it. Well, except maybe for Lana.

Lincoln had made his way through every room so far, even the dreaded diaper pail. He threw the bag of garbage over his shoulder and proceeded into the bathroom. He picked up the bag from the can by the sink. Before he could pour it all in though, something caught his eye.

He pulled out a wad of toilet paper, and unwrapped it. Lincoln stood there, holding the stick in his hand, his mouth agape. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Thoughts ran through his head of who it could belong to. Is it Mom? Am I going to be a big brother again? No, she said she couldn't have any more after Lily. Then, who?

His eyes went wide as he made the sudden realization. He managed to put the pieces together. Lincoln was smart. He knew this was a sensitive situation, and didn't want to abruptly question her about it.

He put the test into the garbage bag without hesitation. He needed time to gather his thoughts and come up with a plan. He finished taking the garbage out and headed up to his room.

It was finally bedtime in the Loud house. The only time it was peaceful. Lori had an eventful day, and she honestly just wanted it to be over.

She was laying in her bed, cell phone in hand as she checked her latest messages.

There was a post on Facebook, from one of her classmates. She was announcing her pregnancy.

Lori immediately exited out of the app. She couldn't bear to see someone being so happy about something that she knew she would be scolded for. The thought of telling her parents was scary, let alone her hundreds of classmates.

Just as she was about to turn off the lamp and go to sleep, she heard the door open. In walks Lincoln, holding a cup filled with iced liquid.

"I figured you might want to drink some ginger ale before bed," he whispered as to not wake Leni.

Lori reached over and ruffled his hair. "What did I do to deserve a little brother like you?", she asked playfully as she took the cup from his hands. "Thanks Lincoln".

"No problem, sis," he said. "Though, I did want to ask you something".

"Sure, what is it?"

"You know how you always tell me that we can be honest with each other, right?"

She nodded. "Of course".

He hesitated for a moment. "I love you Lori, and you know I'll never be mad at you, right?"

"I love you too, Lincoln", she said as she took a sip of her ale. "Now what is it that you wanted to ask me?"

"I…I-I found something in the trash today, in the bathroom," he said softly. "I wanted to know if it belonged to you".

Lori was taken aback by his words. She thought that she had hidden it well enough so that no one would find it. She couldn't lie anymore. It hurt to lie to him before, but now she knew she had no choice.

She sat the cup on the bedside table, and sat up so that she was right by Lincoln's face.

"If I tell you the truth, do you promise not to tell anyone?"
