Take off from the thirteenth book. It's about the baby and them… Sorry, I'm not really good at summaries. I've made a few changes to the books, and do not tell me how wrong I am about it. I wrote this story the way I wanted it. Don't like it, don't read it.– Benchwarmer

CHAPTER ONE: MEMORIES

"Where to now?" The young Baudelaire asked as they rowed away from the island on their wooden boat. The baby, Beatrice Snicket, Kit's daughter, giggled as Violet bounced her up and down on her lap.

"I don't know, Sunny," Klaus said shrugging. "We aren't running from Olaf anymore… But it feels like we are." Sunny nodded.

"Why?" She asked.

"Maybe…It's because we've been running from Olaf for so long, we're just used to it." Violet suggested. Sunny and Klaus shrugged.

"Maybe… But I feel like it's more. Why do you think Olaf kissed Kit?" Klaus asked, changing the subject quickly.

"That creeped me out too, Klaus." Said Violet, shuddering. "Kit always said how treacherous Olaf was. I wouldn't think they ever dated. Is Dewey really the father of Beatrice, though? Kit never really clarified that."

"Maybe Kit and Olaf married?" Sunny suggested.

"Ew…" They all said in unison.

"I feel bad for Beatrice. She'll never meet her real parents. If her father was Dewey, she'll never meet him. And if her father was Olaf, she still will never meet him…" Klaus said.

"Yeah…" Sunny said. She looked at Beatrice with sad eyes. She rubbed her head. "Like having little sister." She said smiling, her English still getting better.

"Yeah," Klaus said. Violet smiled. "We've added a new member to our family."

"But…How we take care of little baby? On our own?" Sunny asked. Violet looked at Klaus, who looked back at her.

"Wow, Sunny." Violet said. "I never thought of that… Well, we raised Sunny for awhile on our own." She shrugged.

"But she was about a year and a half old or so then. Beatrice is only a couple months, and we've raised her since birth." Klaus said reasonably.

"True…" Sunny said hoarsely. They sat silently for awhile. Just the occasional breeze of the wind, and giggle from the baby.

Sunny's hair had grown. Along with Violet's and Klaus's. Sunny's hair was blonde and just below her ears. It was wavy, maybe a little curly. She looked more and more grown up every day. Klaus's hair was beginning to get out of control. It sort of curled on the sides and started to curl by his neck. Violet's was long, below her shoulders, and her bangs had to be twisted behind her ears. Klaus was now taller than Violet, and Sunny was about to be by Violet's hip.

"Wait!" Klaus exclaimed after a couple hours of silence. "Look!" He pointed far across the horizon. The three squinted, but saw a stretch of land across it. Sunny smiled.

"Land!" She said, throwing her little hands up in joy. They rowed as fast as they could, while Sunny held the baby for safety. They took a break every so often but were on a shore within the hour. They hopped off the boat happily, Violet carrying the baby.

"Hello?" Klaus asked. They were on what looked like a public beach. There was a dock carrying out far, and then a street with stores and restaurants along the side. "A city! Vi, we've made it!" He exclaimed happily. Violet nodded excitedly and they ran up the stairs to the street. They looked around.

"This…seems familiar…" Violet said.

"Extremely familiar." Klaus replied. They walked along the sidewalk until they saw something absolutely positively extremely familiar.

"Mulctuary Money Management!" they all exclaimed in unison, again. Klaus started to run to it, but Violet quickly stopped him.

"No, Klaus."

"Why not?" Klaus asked.

"Because. Mr. Poe…" Her voice trailed off.

"I know what you mean." Sunny said, tugging on Violet's clothes and nodding.

"He doesn't really care for us, and you know that, Klaus." Violet said. "He'd surely take away Beatrice. And I don't want her put with some of her psycho relatives and have to go through what we had to do… Just to be put back where we started." She said, looking around. All three had just realized that they were standing on the dreaded Briny Beach.

"Shouldn't we go to Mr. Poe though?" Klaus asked.

"Klaus! Remember!? He's head of Orphan Affairs. Beatrice is an orphan, and we're orphans. He's not going to help us any more than he has before." Violet said. Klaus nodded slowly.

"I guess." He said. "But where do we go?" That was a good question. Suddenly, Sunny piped up.

"Strauss!" She yelled. Violet's eyes widened and she smiled.

"Great, Sunny!" She said. They rushed over to Justice Strauss' house.
