Luna and Sam pursued their rock and roll dreams and were married after their second world tour. They had adopted a baby from an orphanage and named the little boy Lemmy.

Luan was a stand-up comedian and even acted in a couple of movies with Kevin Hart and Jack Black. Luan had a daughter named Libby, her husband had been in the middle of a robbery and was shot when he tried to save the store clerk.

Lynn was a famous sports player and was the first woman to actually be able to compete in men's sports. thanks to her, women were now allowed to play on Football and other major sports, she had become a little distant from the family but when holidays or events came around she would make time for her family.

Lucy was a renowned writer, she managed to be one of the top famous authors of her time and such a young age. She had never settled down but was in a relationship with Rocky spokes.

Lola was named Miss. America a couple of years back. She had a husband and she quit being a beauty queen when she had her twins, Leia and Lex. However she was interviewed many times.

Lana was a race car driver and loved the track. However, she had almost committed suicide after she had a miscarriage and her fiance had left her a year after that. Lola, Lucy, Luna, and her parents had been there for her. She quit racing and decided to go back to college and become a teacher.

Lisa had left the family, distancing herself from her family greatly as she didn't see them as a family after what they did, but reentered their lives after she heard about Lana's suicide attempt.

Lily was still living at home with her mom and dad, however, she didn't feel right whenever the family came together. Like something was missing. Someone was missing. Lisa was the only one to mention her older brother, Lincoln. Even kept mentioning him after her parents told her not to talk about him, Lisa, however, told Lily many things about their older brother, But Lisa never ever said what happened to him.

Once Lily asked why Lisa had told her about their older brother when everyone else thought it was better to forget him. Lily will never forget those words Lisa said to her that day.

"Because, even when he said he didn't have any favorite sisters, you were the one he cared for the most, and it was more apparent after his name was your first words you ever spoke as a baby"

Today was the day that the Louds would take a family photo. Lily was rushing to her house after school, she had just gone done talking with her boyfriend Carlitos and was happy as ever to take another family photo, but mostly to see everyone again. She was halfway down the street when she felt a buzz in her pocket. It was her phone.

Lily took her phone out to see that it was her mother. She swiped to answer the call and held it against her ear.

"Hey mom, Don't worry I'm on my way home right now," Lily said with a smile

"Lily... come home quick..." Rita loud said sadly over the phone

Lily heard the sadness in her mother's voice, "mom? what's wrong?" Lily asked

"It's your dad sweetie... He's... in the hospital" Rita replied

Suddenly Lily's life went in slow motion, everything went silent, all she could hear was the beating of her own heart in her ears.

.

"Your father won't make it through the night..." Rita said

.

As those words were said... Tears fell from Lily's eyes...
