After Maria coughed, all of the Casagrande's/Santiago's froze and quickly looked at her with curious gazes. They knew that she had something to share, but they didn't know if it would be bad or good. 

"Maria? What's going on?" Rosa asked.

"I received a call from Lynn Sr. earlier." Maria said. When they heard his name, all of the Casagrande's and Santiago's frowned deeply. When they heard what the Louds had done, they all felt rage towards the family and sorrow for the two Louds who were taken away towards an orphanage afterwards.

"What did he want? Was he trying to make me go out with Lori again?" Bobby asked.

"No. He wanted to talk about...Lincoln and Lily." Maria said.

"Why? So he can complain how bad they messed up their lives?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Well...He said that his family was going through some hard times. Like recently three daughters of the Louds were involved in a fight which ended when one of them used a knife on one of the others." Maria said.

"Wow...I knew that the Loud sisters' fights are insane, but I never knew that they would use weapons on each other." Carlota said.

"That's what happens when you don't set morals and standards. Luckily Hector and I raised you and Carlos right or else...you two would've been sent to jail or worse." Rosa said.

"It gets worse...just recently..A murder occurred in Royal Woods and the murderer is still roaming around the area." Maria said.

"So everything is going bad in Royal Woods, but what does that have to do with Lincoln and Lily?" Carlos Jr. said.

"It's getting too dangerous in Royal Woods for the both of them and their family is falling apart. So..Lynn Sr. pleaded with me to take Lincoln and Lily away from Royal Woods." Maria said.

"And what did you say Mom?" Bobby asked.

"I said Yes, but only for them to have a fresh start in a proper home." Maria said.

"That's fine and all, but where will we place them?" Bobby asked.

"We'll figure it out when we get to it. But for now...We need to figure out who will be going with me to Royal Woods to gain custody of Lincoln and Lily." Maria said.

"I think Nie Nie should go seeing how she missed Lincoln the most and cried the most when the news broke out." Bobby said.

"I'll also go seeing how Ronnie Anne needs supervision. Especially since there is a high chance that she will try to kick the Louds butts." Carlota said. 

"And I'm going as well since they need a man to protect them." Carlino said before Carlota flicked him on the forehead causing him to fall backwards. 

"So Ronnie Anne, Carlota and Carlino will go. Now you three need to pack some clothes and things for the trip. And when we're walking around...make sure to stay together in case that murderer is still around." Maria said. 

After that the Casagrande's/Santiago's went their separate ways and started to get ready for the two new arrivals coming in a couple of days. Unaware that Lynn Sr. was breaking the news to his daughters at that same moment.
