The pictures don't belong to me...they belong to their respective owners. Also the ages may not be accurate so..just tell me if I get them wrong. Now back to the story. 

Who is Lincoln Loud?

Once the question was asked..it was like time was frozen. Lola, Lana and Lisa were confused while the rest of the family had shocked expressions on their faces since they never talked about him.

When nineteen year old Luan suddenly reached towards the baby book and looked at her sister with a serious expression on her face. Which was something that no one has seen before since she was always smiling.

"Where did you get this Lucy?" She asked.

"In the attic. It was laying out in the open so I decided to see who it was." Lucy said. After hearing the answer, Luan just sighed and silently cursed who left this book out in the open. As she was thinking of what to say...twelve year old twins Lola and Lana tapped on her shoulder shocking her before she looked down at them. 

"Do we have a brother?" Lana asked.

"Yes. We do." Luan said before twenty one year old Luna interrupted her.

"We weren't supposed to say anything." Luna said.

"It's too late for that Luna and you know it. Lucy already found the book and will just keep asking questions until we tell them the truth." Luan snapped.

"So it's true. We do have a brother." Lola said before twenty two year old Leni answered her.

"Yes. We just never talked about him due to the current circumstances that surrounded us at the time." Leni said. Making her sisters look at her with varying expressions on their faces. When twenty three year old Lori walked up to her and placed her hand on Leni's shoulder. 

"Leni, no one knows what caused that incident and we can still find him." Lori said who still felt responsible for her brother's disappearance. Even if her family didn't blame her..she still blamed herself for losing sight of her beloved brother. 

"A sibling that we never knew about? Fascinating." a nine year girl named Lisa said before her eighteen year old Lynn sighed and addressed the room.

"We're so sorry for not telling you guys what happened all those years ago. It's just..hard to talk about since his birth." Lynn Jr. said.

"Why? What was so hard about it?" Lucy said.

"Because...he was born blind." Lori said.

"Blind?!" Lola and Lana exclaimed. The rest of the younger siblings were also surprised on knowing that their older sibling was born blind. 

"Before you girls say anything...your brother was still the happiest baby that we ever laid our eyes on. Sure, raising him had some challenges, but we all loved him dearly." Rita said.

"But what happened? Why isn't he here with us?" Lily said.

"Sigh..because he was kidnapped sixteen years ago today. And it was all my fault." Lori said before she walked out of the room followed by Leni. 

"I see that she's still blaming herself for what happened." Lynn Sr. Said.

"Can you blame her dad? Lincoln was taken during her watch and she keeps trying to find him to make up for it." Luna said.

"What do you mean taken?" Lily asked before Luan sighed and looked at her younger sister.

"Listen, The day that Lincoln was taken was the first time that Mom and Dad trusted Lori to be allowed to look after him. That was mainly due to his blindness which made everyone super protective of him. So she decided to take him to the park..everything seemed normal. Until..something knocked everyone out in the park and once Lori woke up..he was already gone." Luan said.

"But if that's true...Why does Lori hate herself for what happened?" Lola said.

"Sigh...She felt like she let the family down. Look, Lincoln may have been a baby, but he was still precious to everyone in the household. So when she discovered that he was missing, she really beat herself up." Lynn Jr. said.

"She wouldn't eat or smile. She never left her room...until we sent her to therapy. It took a long time, but eventually she started to get better. But, she still feels like it's her responsibility to bring Lincoln home." Rita said trying hard not to think of those days. When it was discovered that her son was taken under Lori's watch..she really did want to get mad at her..but seeing her daughter's devastated state quickly made that anger vanish. 

"Now you see why we never wanted to talk about him. Now if you excuse me..I'm going to help Leni calm Lori down." Luan said. As she left, Lucy looked down at the book and lightly stroked it with her fingers. While she was doing this..Lucy only had one thought in her head:

I wish that I could meet you Lincoln.
