Rita and Lynn sr entered their house to be met by 10 very angry young girls sitting on the couch waiting for them.

"Oh hey girls." Rita greeted them but they said nothing, Lynn sr spoke up

"Um... girls, is something wrong?"

"You two have a lot of explaining to do." Lori said sternly

"About what?" Rita asked confused

"About Lincoln." Luan added roughly

"I'm sorry girls but we're not sure what's going on. What happened to Lincoln?" Rita asked, even more confused than her husband.

"He found out that his own parents lied to him!" Leni shouted

"Girls! Watch your tone!" Rita scolded

"Our tone?! What about your lies!" Luna shouted

"Girls!-" Lynn sr was interrupted by Lynn jr

"NO! Lincoln is up there crying his eyes out because of you!"

"That's it! You girls tell us what is going on this instant!" Lynn sr shouted

"Mother, Father." Lisa said calmly "Exactly when were you going to inform us that our brother isn't our brother?"

"What?" Both asked getting more upset

"Oh! Quit playing dumb alright!" Lola shout, Lana snatched the paper out of Lori's hands and shoved it in her parents

"We all know now that Lincoln is adopted!" she shouted causing both her parents to go pale in the face.

"Uh...um...w-well.." neither parent had anything to say

"Care to explain yourselves." Lucy asked blankly, arms crossed.

The seconds ticked by and no one said a word, the girls staring angrily at their parents, while the parents themselves looked horrified.

Lori's voiced choked as she tried to hold back her tears

"Just forget it girls, they won't answer why because they thought we would never find out." She stomped upstairs with tears in her eyes followed by her 9 sisters. Leaving both parents alone with shameful faces.

...

Lincoln was lying on his bed crying his eyes out, his pillow soaked with tears. There was a knock at the door and his now 'adopted' parents' voice.

"Lincoln, sweetie, can we talk?" Rita's voice was soft, but Lincoln ignored both of them until he heard a third voice, Lily cooing and tapping on his door. Lincoln got up and opened his door slightly just enough for Lily to crawl in, picked her up and shut it, locking it before their parents could enter.

He sat back on his bed now with Lily in his arms still crying, the little baby tried to wipe her brother's tears away but more just followed soon after. He cried and cried holding his baby sister close as she kept wiping the tears away. Then his phone rang, he was tempted to let it go to voicemail until he saw that the caller was Ronnie Anne he let another ring pass before answering.

" Sniff H-hey Ronnie Anne...how's it's going?" his voice choked

"I should be asking you that. Are you ok?"

" Sniff Sniff N-no! No I'm not! I'm not ok. I just found out that my parents aren't my real parents! Hic sob ." He held Lily closer, tears streaming down his face. They were on facetime so all Ronnie could do was watch.

"I was afraid of that."

"Huh? Sniff How did-"

"Lori is talking with Bobby about it...well more like screaming, the only two words I could understand was 'Lincoln' and 'adopted', together that didn't sound good so I called."

"Oh..."

"I have to ask, how did you find out?"

"I went to a hospital with Lori to get a DNA test."

"What?! Why?"

" Sigh This...this isn't the first time that I've questioned...w-whether or not I'm really a part of this family..."

"So...what was the first?"

"...My hair?"

"I don't see anything wrong with it?"

"Seriously Ronnie Anne?! Haven't you noticed that I'm the only one of my sisters with white hair?!" He emphasized by pulling on his snow white hair.

"What about your grandpa?"

"Exactly! Sniff I always question this, until after I met Pop Pop. T-then I started thinking, 'Hey maybe I got my white hair from Pop Pop.' Sniff hic ."

Ronnie gave him a moment to calm down before going on "Then what happened next? What else made you question it?"

"I'm the only boy out of 10 girls?"

"So...I've met this one girl with 3 brothers at the Mercado once and then I met another kid at the park with 5 sisters...and wait Lucy has black hair, not blonde or brown like your other sisters."

"She permanently dyed her hair, Lucy used to be blonde."

"Oh?...Well.."

"And last week we had an assignment at school where we had to tell our birth story...but...every time tried to ask...they always avoided it." Lincoln was now back to crying his eyes out.

Ronnie was at a loss for words now, she wasn't sure what to say next to change it.

"I want to find them..."

"Huh?"

"I want to find them...my real family..."

"Woah! Woah! Lincoln hold on! Now I get that this is a tough time for you right now but think about this! You don't want to do something you'll regret. Give it some time before you make a decision."

"I already have..." He picked up his phone, Ronnie Anne realizing what he's about to do

"Lincoln don't hang-" He did and turned off his phone knowing she'd tried to call back.

Still holding Lily, Lincoln stared blankly at his bedsheets

Sorry Ronnie Anne...but I need to know...I need to know who my real parents are and why I was put up for adoption...sigh...and why... 'they', never told me.
