Lynn went downstairs so she could see what was on the disc on the DVD player in the living room, but she remembered Lincoln sleeping there, so when she came downstairs, she slowly picked him up and left him sitting by the front door on the porch.
"Sorry, Link, you have to wait here." She saw one of Lincoln's books lying on the floor and put it in his hands to make it appear as if he had fallen asleep while reading.
When she left Lincoln at his place, she turned on the DVD player and put it on the disc. The video started playing, and Lisa appeared in it.
-Lisa's video-
Video number one
Since my field notes ran out of space and my tape recorder was damaged in the explosion three years ago, I've been able to keep my record on these discs.
Today I made a new discovery regarding my brother's condition.
He and my family believe that the improvement in my brother's sense of hearing, smell, and touch is due to his sojourn in the quiet forest and city environment where he lives, but in fact it was the conditions that allowed the properties of the chemical to evolve in an optimal way.
Free from the scandal of this house and this town, in touch with nature, with nothing else to do, and free from the demands of the sisters specimens, Lincoln was oblivious to the help he received from the chemical now in his veins that had developed "growth capacity." Very sharp hearing and a great sense of touch give him perfect balance and reflexes. In addition to the fact that the chemical was absorbed into his body in the early stages of puberty, it caused an increase in the production of testosterone and GH, which caused an increase in height and muscle mass, but not all of them positive.
Lisa picks up a test tube containing a large amount of white liquid.
What I have here is a core sample from my brother. I won't go into details about how I got it, but that's what worries me. After analyzing whether the traits of the functioning gene could be passed from parents to children, I discovered that these sperm do not have the minimum movement to be able to reach the egg; in other words, my brother is sterile.
Lisa gave a sad expression as she looked at the camera. "Now there are two things I have to deal with."

Lynn didn't understand most of Lisa's words, but she did understand the other parts. Especially the one that said Lincoln couldn't make her pregnant. At first, when she heard her, she was speechless and said her brother would never be able to conceive, but then a smile started to grow on her face, and her eyes filled with luster, followed by a shriek of joy, and she started jumping on the sofa.
"Yes, we can get along without the risk of pregnancy. Yes."
Lynn was bouncing around the room and landing on the couch in a complete trance.
"Lincoln. Ahhh. I love you."
She stopped celebrating when the distinct sound of a vanilla engine sent Lynn into gear. She quickly pulled out the DVD from the player and went up to Lisa's room. The Louds arrived and saw that Lincoln was sleeping in the doorway. Rita ran up to him.
"Oh, my God, Lincoln." Rita gently patted him on the cheeks until Lincoln woke up.
Lincoln awoke, and after a second, he quickly awoke, noticeably frightened. "Mom, Dad, girls, that's not what it looks like."
Rita crossed her arms. "Really? You obviously slept here while reading. Son, if you're tired, go to sleep; you might get sick here and get cold."
Lincoln calmed down when he heard his mother's "Outside? What?" He put his hand to his head in apparent confusion. "Did I sleep here? Was this all a dream?"
Not understanding what Lincoln was muttering to the family, Mr. Loud calmed Lincoln by putting his hands on his shoulders.
"Now, son, it must have been a nightmare to affect you like this."
"Wait, are you still dreaming?" Luna asks.
"Yes, not like you, the thing I see is more sounds and sensations, along with some memories of things I saw when I could still see." Lincoln replied.
"Dreams are mental projections; the brain receives them, not the eyes." Lisa explained
Most of the girls looked down on Lisa, even though they acted better with her. It was only because of Lincoln. They still hadn't forgiven her for the accident three years ago.
Mr. Loud wanted to cut off that tension that even Lincoln could feel.
"Well, how about if I make a delicious hot soup to get rid of that cold?"
The family welcomed Mr. Loud's idea, as it was almost dark and eating a nice soup at this time seemed so good.
Again with Lynn. She took the notes and the box containing the blood samples and put everything in its place, then reached for the key under Lisa's bed until she found the button and the compartment was locked.
Lynn was running down the stairs when her family walked in and saw her coming down very quickly.
"What are you doing, Lynn?" Lori asked, while she was a little angry.
Lynn had to quickly think of an excuse.
"Ninety-eight; ninety-nine; one hundred," he said, going up and down the stairs. "Oh, I'm done."
Luna stood in front of Lynn. "Lynn. Were you exercising while Lincoln was out?"
"Don't you realize he could have become sick?"
Lynn passed Luna as if she weren't there and went over to where Lincoln was. The girl started hugging her brother. While managing to leave the scolding behind.
After Lincoln takes a hot bath at his mother's request, his feet get cold, so he goes to Luna and Luan's room to get dressed.
The window had no curtains because of the huge growth of the tree in the back yard, both in height and in leaves, and Lana was able to build her dream tree house.
