>The rocker loved his little girl, and she loved him too.

>Lemy's life was good.
>He had a well-payed job in a music store.
>He had a lot of friends.
>He had a beautiful and loving daughter.
>And he had a awesome wife.
>Sometimes he still had a hard time believing that Lina had chose him as the man of her life.
>They were buddies since childhood, friends in adolescence, a couple in their early twenties and finally husband and wife right after that.
>What a beautiful life.
>Lemy checked his mobile, it was saturday in the morning.
>That gave him a idea.
>"Alice!" said Lemy.
>"What's up, daddy" answered the cheerful girl.
>"Go upstair and take a shower, we are going to grampas' house" said Lemy with a smile.
>Alice beamed at this, throwing a ball at magnus one last time and running into the house.
>Lemy just saw her leave, with a sigh, he send his mother a message telling them about their visit.
>Only he and Alice.
>Again.
>Lina was in a tour at the moment.
>Good, that gave her a excuse.
>But she always make sure to not visit the Loud House.
>His mother, sisters and aunts were not happy with her.
>But Lemy understand her, and the reasons behind it.
>"I'm ready!" shouted the soft voice of his daughter.
>Fuck, he was in dreamland all that time?.
>With a peaceful smile the rocker saw how wet his daughter's hair was.
>She really wanted to hurry up, didn'she?
>With a chuckle he went to the bath to grab a towel and finish to dry her Alice's hair.
>"There you go, a little beautiful miss" said Lemy, making the girl to laugh a little.
>"Well, let's go!" said the mild aged man.
>"Yay!"

>While driving at his parent's house in his Ford Picasso, Lemy kept remembering other times.
>Strange other times.
>When he started to date Lina, everyone showed him complete support.
>Except Leia of course, choosing another girl over Gwen had gained him the wrath of the little blonde.
>But even when she was completely haertbroken, Gwen calmed Leia.
>She even wished him luck with Lina and prayed for their happiness.
>She was a amazing girl.
>Lemy didn't lamented his relationship with Lina.
>But she lamented with all his heart that he just was not the one for Gwen. She desserved happiness.
>He didn't knew if she achieved it or not, though.
>The brunette moved to another state on her own and practically dissapeared of their lifes.
>Not even Leia knew where she was.

>That was one of the great pains in Lemy's life.
>But that was just the tip of the iceberg compared with happened later…
>It was one of the reason why aunt Lisa didn't live in the house and her sisters don't talk to her anymore.
>He didn't blame them. He didn't do it to, and that was not going to change.
>Sometimes he felt angry at himself for thinking like that.
>He loved Alice with all his heart and he would never wish for another daughter.
>But what Lisa had done…

>Luckly, they finally were in the Loud house, the same big ass house he remembered and loved.
>After aparking the car, father and daughter when directly to the door.
>Lemy walking and Alice running.
>He can't help but chuckle at how adorable Alice looked.
>She was jumping to press the door's bell, but being such a short kid, she can't reach it.
>He helped her a bit, taking her in his arms.
>"Aaa" she pouted "I wanted to do it myself this time!"
>"You will do it one day, my princess" said Lemy, kissing her cheek, gaining a little laugh of the little girl.
>"You bet!" said Alice, pushing the button.
>A few moments later, the always entusiastic Luna Loud greeted them.
>"Well, well, my favourites dudetes are here!" exclaimed Luna, giving them a bear hug.
>"Granny Luna" beamed Alice.
>Lemy had to fight the urge to laugh at his mother's pale face.
>That happened everytime Alice called her like that.
>Luna Loud, despite being a mature woman, was still a beautiful woman.
>And being called 'granny' hurted her pride.
>But she didn't have the heart to scold or correct her grandaughter, so she needed to swallot it.
>"How are the others?" asked Lemy, more for the aunts than the sisters.
>After all, the girls had left the house long time ago.
>Some of them even got married and had children.
>Still a shame, his sisters loved their niece and Alice always had fun playing with her cousins.
>His mother took Alice's hand, and the three of them entered the house.
>"Well" began Luna "Lori is in a bussiness trip, Leni, Lola and Luan are at the mall, Lucy is in her daily walk in the graveyard and Lynn and Lana are in a soccer match" explained Luna.
>"So, nobody is here?" asked Alice, a bit down at the news.
>"Hey, I am here" joked Luna "and grampa Lincoln is here too".
>This lifted the girl's spirits.
>"Can I go to surprise him?" asked to her father.
>"Sure, go and give your granpa a big hug" said Lemy.
>Alice went tip toes while giggling a bit.
>When they were alone, Luna had something to ask to her son.
>"So, where is Lina?"
>"She is in a tour"
>Luna sighed deeply "it wouldn't had mattered even if she wasn't in one, right?"
>Lemy sighed himself. She was not wrong.
>"Lets not talk about it, please?" pleaded Lemy, his mother didn't knew about what happened, that's why she blamed her.
>He knew better.
>"Right, well take a seat, son! You and Alice are our guests, let me give you a drink" said Luna with a smile, willing to let the Lina's matter aside.
>He really appreciated it.
>"Thanks, but you don't need to"
>"I insist"
>"je, cold tea, please"
>"got it, I'm on it!" said cheerfuly Luna, going to the kitchen and leaving her son along with his thoughts.
>while waiting for his mother and daughter to return, he remembered once again his past.
>Luna had not mentioned Lisa to them. Not even a single hint.
>It was to be expected, though.
>She didn't even live in the house anymore.
>Not after what she did to him.
>"Son" heared Lemy, it was his father, who had Alice sitting in his neck.
>"Sup' old man" said Lemy, huging his father, who twktched a bit because of it. Lemy noticed it, but remained silent.
>"…How…are you?" asked awkwardly Lincoln.
>Shit, why his old man acted like this every time they visit them?
>"Good, very good" managed to said Lemy, he was feeling awkward too, to be honest.
>Alice just was there, thinking how weird they were, since she can remember, they were always like that.
>If they were with her aunts or grannys, they acted like normal people, like a father and son would do.
>But if they happened to be alone (or almost alone, she was there after all!) they became like this.
>It was funny, and a little…sad.
>In that moment Luna returned and feeling the awkwardness in the ambient she though in a way to get Alice out of it, besides, it could be a good way to finally make her two favirites mens to talk.
>"Hey, somebody wants a chocolate cake?" asked Luna.
>The mere mention of it was more than enough for Alice " I want it! I want it" exclamed while she raised adorably her hand.
>Chuckling, Luna took her off Lincoln's neck.
>"Well, little groupie, we need to buy it first, lets go to the cake shop then! I want you to choose the biggest and tastiest cake of it" said Luna.
>Alice was more than happy to hear that.
>"Can I go, papa? Pretty please?" pleaded the little girl.
>"Of course sweetheart, make sure to choose one with strawberries" said Lemy, who already knew what Luna was planning.
>"Got it! Later papa! Later grampa!" exclaimed Alice, already running towards the door.
>Luna was amused by this, she remembered her a bit to Lynn and Lacy, if only that would be possible…
>Shaking her head, she followed her grandaughter not before wishing her brother and son luck.

>When they were finally alone, no one of them said anything. Lincoln just kept his silent posture and nervous looking.
>Lemy understood that he had to make the first step.
>"I am not angry at you" said Lemy, making his father flinch a bit.
>"but" started Lincoln, but he didn't know what to say.
>"It could be pretty dumb of my part if I would ha te you" continued the rocker "after all, I was the one who asked you to do it".
>"And I accepted" said Lincoln, feeling ill by just remembering it "I did what a father would never do, I betrayed the very sense of paternity" continued Lincokn, his eyes were becoming wet, the guilt was overwhelming "I have no right to call myself a father! I…!"
>"Dad, stop!" shouted Lemy, puting his hands on his father's shoulders.
>"Lemy"
>„"Look, like I said, I'm not angry. I'm not blaming you at all, It was the only way and you were the only one in who I can trust" explained the son "thats why I asked you after thinking it deeply". Assured Lemy.
>His father was not convinced, though.
>"But you had another options, you and Lina" said a remorseful father.
>Lemy sighed at this, his father really was stubborn.
>"In any case, we both know who is the real culprit here, right?" asked Lemy, unable to supress the ice one his vouce.
>Lincoln only grimaced at this, but the familiar feeling of sadness quickly took over.
>"It should have been me, I was already a father" another failure in his life, he wasn't able to protect his from his own sister "Lisa went too far that time".
>"water under the bridge, dad. I forget about her long time ago, you should do the same"
>"…maybe you are right…I still feel horrible, though" said Lincoln.
>And he really mean it.
>Lisa, his beloved little sister was the indirect (or direct?) responsible of all of this.
>She had that stupid experiment where its goal was to make HIM unable to reproduce with his relatives anymore.
>Supposedly, to prevent him to impregnate his daughters.
>Stupid thought.
>He loved his daughters but not in that way, and his daughters never lusted after him.
>Even Lupa's and Leia's were a simple and normal crush.
>But Lisa was convinced that she couldn't be wrong.

>She was.

>One night, she was more than ready to use her prototype formula on him.
>But he was in a opera with Lyra, that saved him…
>And condemned his son.
>Lemy became her guinea pig.
>Nothing happened at first.
>Later Lemy and Lina get married.
>But the months passed, and they were not blessed with a child.
>Something like that was unheard of in a Loud.
>Eventually the married couple were to a doctor to see wath was the problem.
>That was the day a part of Lemy died.
>And the day that his son finally knew what Lisa had done to him.
>Those pills and drink were more than enough to kill a important part of the Loud Legacy.
>Lina was not the problem.
>It was Lemy.
>Lisa's 'treatment' made him infertile.
>It was a catastrophic failure of her experiment.
>But Lemy couldn't have give more than a shit.
>His son was devastated.
>He and his sisters were absolutely enraged with the 'genius', his daughters were not having it better.
>Eventually, Lisa abandoned the house and went to the NASA, unable to deal with the harsh treatment and her own guilt.
>Another failure to his list, he didn't guide his little sister to the right path and led her be ostratized by their sisters.
>Even he treated her like a monster.

>While Lincoln was remembering that, Lemy was also lost in his thoughts.
>He remembered how Lina and he cried together when he told her the news.
>It was really depressing for a while, until Lyra suggested them to adopt.
>He was really entusiastic with the idea, but not Lina.
>She told him that she really wanted to be a mother, but she wanted a child of her own. She wouldn't accept otherway.
>But at the same time, she didn't wanted a child of another man. She wanted his'.
>And to be fair, he didn't liked the idea of his wife being impregnated by a stranger's seed.
>But more than that, He wanted to continúe the Loud Legacy,just like Lyle was doing.
>And it was then when he conceived his probably most weird idea ever, Lina even punched him hard for the mere mention of it.
>But eventually she gave in, her desired maternity was at hand's reach.
>They first option was Lyle, but he never was good at keeping secret, besides Marla was lioness who would never had allowed their demented plan, her grasp on his brother was strong as steel.
>And then, they went with Lincoln, who was horrified by it, not wanting any part of it.
>But Lemy used his father's guilt to persuade him.
>He regreted it with all his heart.
>Lina and Lincoln just did it the required times until she got pregnant, without a ounce of love between them.
>They tell the rest of the family that they used the help of a sperm bank and covered the truth the best they could.
>But his relationship with his father became awkward afterthat, Lincoln blamed himself for everything and Lina didn't want to go to the Loud house anymore, the only reason she gave him was 'guilt'.

>Lemy finally broke the silence.
>"When she grows up, I want to tell her"
>Lincoln didn't understand at first, but when he did, his blood ran cold.
>"Lemy, no"
>"She desserves to know"
>"A truth like this could scar her for life, let her have a normal life, please".
>"All of us were product of incest and we are fine, well, most of us" said Lemy, remembering Lani.
>"But you all knew since the very beggining that I was your father, this is diferent, Alice ADORES you Lemy, please, don't take that away from her" pleaded Lincoln.
>And he really mean it, but another reason was also in his mind.
>He was sure that neither Lemy or Lina knew it, but Lina was his daughter too.
>He prayed during all the nine months of Lina's pregnancy, asking for forgiveness and wishing for Lina to give birth to a healty child.
>This time they didn't had Lisa's help.
>At least with that, The Lord had mercy.
>Lina's child was a precious baby girl, healty and without any complications.
>A child that inmediatly becane in the light of Lemy's and Lina's life.
>Lina named her Alice.
>What a beautiful name.
>That little girl desserved the normal childhoof the neither he, his sisters or his children had.

>"Maybe you are right dad, lets do this, dad" said Lemy "I promise to not tell Alice about this… only if you make a effort and start to coming out of your shell and start hanging out with me Lemy" proposed the rocker, with a bright smile.
>Lincoln was stunned by this, still not believing why his son didn't hold a grudge against him.
>But Lemy might be right, maybe it was time to put the past to rest for good.
>"Allright, I will try" said Lincoln, with a small, genuine smile, the first he had in a long time.
>"Thats the spirit!" encouraged Lemy.
>"Thanks, son. You don't have idea how much this means to me" said Lincoln, in the verge of tears.
>"Don't mention it, dad" said Lemy, giving his old man a hug. He was tearing up a bit too.
>What a nice feeling.

>"We are home!" announced the raspy voice of Luna.
>"We have the cake!" said happyly Alice.
>"Thats great!" said Lemy lifting his little princess in his arms.
>"So, how was it" asked Luna in a mischievous tone.
>"'how was it?' what was it?'" asked a curious Alice.
>Lincoln chuckled a bit.
>"I guess things will go better from now on" said Lincoln in a serene tone.
>"Yeah, Everything will be alright" said Lemy in a similar tone.
>"Papa, grampa, what's going on?" asked Alice, her family was weird.
>Lemy only ruffled her hair.
>Yes, she was his daughter not matter the circumstances, and he loved her.
>Lemy will give the best for her.
>But he also was going to repair his relationship with his father.
>Family means everything for Lemy.
>They were his everything.
>And he wouldn't trade them for the world.
