A Brother's Duty

Lincoln Loud was an average 11-year old boy, well as average as possible living in a house with 10 sisters. Today was Friday school was out and the weekend was about to start, usually, he would be in his room reading his patent Ace Savvy comics in his underwear by now but today was a special Friday. His entire family minus his 15-month old baby sister Lily would be leaving for the entire weekend. His Three oldest sisters Lori, Leni, and Luna would be heading to the city for the weekend a Mick Swagger concert and would be staying with Lori's boyfriends family the Santiagos (Lori herself was not going to the concert but was going to spend her time with Bobby). Leni was tagging along for an older sister weekend. His sisters Lynn and Luan would both be spending their weekend at camps, baseball camp for Lynn and Luan would be going to clown camp. They both managed to get special sponsorships from their school as normally the family would not be able to afford to send them both to camp at the same time. His mother would be taking his younger sisters Lucy and Lola to aunt Ruth's house as she had fallen sick with the flu (Lucy and Lola would be going mostly because they had already gotten the flu and would be immune). Finally, his father would be taking his sisters Lana and Lisa to a college in Ohio, Lisa had made a breakthrough on her fecal studies research and Lola would be tagging along to help as she was the only one willing to help Lisa with her set up. This left Lincoln and Lily as the odd pair out as they had no plans for the weekend and would be staying home.

"Lola, Lucy get ready our cab is almost here!" The voice of Rita Loud mother to all the Loud kids could be heard from downstairs. His Oldest sisters had already left with vanzilla and his father along with the rest of his sisters would be picked up at Royal Woods High school where their individual rides would be.

"Alright Lincoln your father made enough food to last the weekend but we left fifty dollars in the kitchen drawer" His mother was busy moving about in the kitchen getting her belongings together were the both of them where.

"Yes mom, I also know where Lily's food, milk, and dippers are at along with the list of emergency contacts are at" Lincoln said in his most confident voice. She looked at him but nodded along before responding.

"I know all that honey I'm just making sure you kids will be alright here by yourselves for the entire weekend." Just then they heard a car honk from out in the driveway. "Alright, Lincoln the cars here so just remember to call if anything happens. Girls! let's go our ride is here" his mother shouted. Not a second later Lincoln heard stomping coming down the stairs as his sisters made their way down(Lola was the one stomping as Lucy just kind of glided her way down).

"I can't believe that you're not going to suffer at aunt Ruth's too Lincoln, I had to reschedule my weekend pageant practice!"

"Sigh, I too had to reschedule a funeral for my classes old goldfish" Both his sisters were in a bad mood, Lincoln would be too if he had to spend the weekend at Aunt Ruth's.
"Say goodbye to your brother and let's go girls, ok Lincoln I love you and stay safe" His mother said as she pushed his sisters forward.

"Goodbye Lincoln" Lucy said as she gave him a hug, and was replaced by a grumbling Lola who was still upset that her weekend was ruined.

"Goodbye Linky" Lola let go and soon the door closed and it was just him and Lily for the next two days. Lincoln Quietly went upstairs to check on his sister who was sleeping peacefully in her crib cuddling her baby blue blanket.

"It's just us for now Lily don't worry though your big brother is here for anything you need." Lincoln whispered quietly to his sister as he made his way out and went to his room to read his comic. It was 5:27 and he wouldn't be preparing his and Lily's dinner till 7. Lincoln spent the next half hour enjoying his comic until he heard a cry from Lily. Lincoln quickly made his way to her room and found Lily looking around, she stopped crying when her eyes landed on Lincoln. Lily raised her hands in the universal sign for 'pick me up' Lincoln unable to resist his sister's commands did so.

"It's ok Lily Big Brothers here, how about we go downstairs and play with some of your toys for a while, how does that sound?" Lily looked up with sparkles in her eyes as the thought of being able to play with her favorite (read: only) brother, it was pretty hard to get one on one bonding time with so many siblings in one house. Lily happily laughed the entire way down as Lincoln gently put her on the ground in the living room in front of the couch where her toys where scatted. Lincoln sat beside her as he pulled out a box of Legos and the two spent nearly an hour building( Lincoln) and destroying(Lily) many different things. Lincoln could hear his walkie talkie as the voice of his best friend Clyde came through.

"Master Planer can you hear me, this is perfect agent, are you up for a game of rogues and assassins, over"

Lincoln picked up his walkie talkie with a look of regret on his face. "Negative perfect agent, operation take care of Lily while family is away this weekend and think of a shorter name for this operation has already started, over." Lincoln waited for a while for Clyde to respond keeping the walkie talkie out of reach of Lily who was giggling and trying to take it out of his hands.

"Roger that Master Planer I'll let the group know you'll be unavailable and good luck with your mission, over."

"Copy that perfect agent master planer out" Lincoln replied as he set his walkie talkie down and picked up his sister. "Alright then Lily why don't we head over to-" Lincoln stopped as he smelled a smell. It was a smelly smell that smelled, smelly. "Oh no" Lincoln whisper shouted in horror as he came to the realization that Lily's diapers needed to be changed. Lily looked up and clapped happily as she repeated over and over "Poopoo poopoo!"

Lincoln climbed the stairs as he held Lily as physically as far away as possible. He made it to her room where he set her down on her cleaning station, after so many babies it was a very good investment on his parents part. While Lincoln himself was not the primary diaper changer of the Loud house he had plenty of experience watching with the occasional change himself, it was impossible not to with 5 younger sisters. With Lily clean, powdered and padded with a new diaper Lincoln took the two of them to the kitchen where he sat Lily in her high chair and began heating his meal along with some of Lily's Milk. While those were heating he got out a plate for himself and a jar of baby food for Lily. After 30 minutes of eating and dodging(Lily's) food Lincoln had finally finished feeding Lily. This didn't come without the sacrifice of his favorite orange shirt. "Ok Lilybug let's go take a bath and go to bed"

"No! PWAY!" Lily exclaimed to her older brother in her most stern sounding voice, though it just came out as a cute whine.

"We can play tomorrow Lilybug I promise." Lincoln said as he held out his pinky finger to her. Lily grabbed his finger but didn't complain as he took them to the bathroom. After another 30 minutes battle with rubber duckies and soap Lincoln walked out with a sleepy Lily as he made it to her room and set her down in her crib. She reached out for her blanket, cuddled against it and let out a big yawn as her eyes slowly closed. "Goodnight Lily, I love you" Lincoln whispered as he leaned in to kiss his sisters head. He turned off the light and went downstairs to lock the doors and clean up. He made it to his room at 9:19 and dropped on his bed to fell asleep before he hit the bed.

"wagggh!" Lincoln loud woke up with a start as he heard his sisters cry, he looked over at his clock and saw that it was 1:42 am. Lincoln let out a groan as he quickly went to his sister and picked her up.

"Shhh, it's ok Lily Big brother is here." Lincoln rocked his sister back and forth as he whispered in her ear. It took 5 minutes for her to calm down and as he was about to set her down she grabbed Lincoln tightly. "Come Lily you can't sleep latched on to me" Lincoln said to his sister.

"No! Linky stay!" Shouted Lily as she grabbed on even tighter.

"Ok Lily how about you come sleep with me tonight then, does that sound good" Lincoln saw his sister give a small tearful nod, and took them both to his room where he laid down and kept Lily on his chest with an arm wrapped around her. He saw his sister was already asleep and let sleep claim him. "Don't worry Lily, big brother will always be here"
