Chapter 2 VIOLETS POV
I blinked pinching myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming that he was really standing there. My eyes widened as he was joined by another person I'd never expected to see again.
"Oh my god "I gasped turning as I started to run as fast as I could while pregnant going in the direction of the cemetery. The sky grew dark and hour's later I still hadn't return from my walk and Sunny was worried as she paced the floor of the tree house she wanted to go looking for me, but part of her told her to stay put.
"SUNNY "I screamed running into the tree house.
I ran into the tree house locking all the doors and then the windows crying and screaming hysterically as Sunny watched in shock not sure what was wrong, but part of her felt a chill of fear go up her spine that she hadn't felt since the days on the run from Count Olaf. Calming me down Sunny let me finish locking the doors much to my insistence then we went into the kitchen where Sunny made me a cup of tea.
"What happened "whispered Sunny making me sip my tea helping me hold the cup because my hands wouldn't stop shaking; I didn't look at her I stared into my tea cup, but I could feel her worried stare as she looked at me. Finally I looked at her fear in my eyes.
"I went to find Klaus's glasses "I whispered before starting to continue as Sunny cut in.
" Violet I told you not to do that " said Sunny her voice was angry, but her eyes were sympathetic and I could tell as we looked at each other that we were both scared and I knew once I told her the rest of what happened she would be as scared as I was.
"I had to try and find them, but that's not it that's not what I saw "I whispered my eyes wide with fear wide with the memory of what I had saw. We looked at each other as she waited for me to say what I had to say taking each other's hand as we did pushing away are tea cups.
"What did you see "said Sunny smiling at me, but it was the smallest of smiles and I think part of her was scared of what I would say?
"I saw Count Olaf and Klaus "I said looking at Sunny and she did just like I thought she looked at me like I was crazy.
"What "gasped Sunny her eyes wide.
"I know it sounds impossible even crazy, but I saw them I saw Count Olaf and Klaus "I whispered a smile coming onto my face at the thought of my love being alive.
"Violet that's impossible Olaf is dead he's been dead for years and I'm sorry to say it, but so is Klaus "whispered Sunny looking sad as she squeezed my hand.
"I know, but Sunny after I saw them I went to their graves "I said quickly.
"Ok and what did you find "said Sunny thinking for sure this would end the conversation.
"Count Olaf's grave was dug up it looks like a long time ago "I said giving her a look that said that this proved my point.
"Klaus's grave was dug up too "I whispered my voice urgent as shock and fear came across Sunny's face. Sunny just stared at me I don't think she knew what to say, but suddenly she got up and went to check to make sure the doors and windows were locked tight and soon she was sitting across from me again.
"Ok Violet tomorrow we'll go to the graves and if their dug up we'll find them, but if their dug up and their not alive that means someone else is on the island and we have to find them before they find us "said Sunny her face serious. We agreed on this with an argument quickly we stood up and hugged.
"Do you want to get some sleep "asked sunny smiling as they sat across from each other again?
"No I'm not sleepy, but you go ahead I'm going to sit up for a while "I whispered squeezing her hand.
" No I'll stay up with you tell me more about you and Klaus I actually have a lot of questions especially now that your pregnant " admitted Sunny smiling at her. I smiled thinking how deep down talking about Klaus was bittersweet I loved remembering our life together, but it only made me miss him more.
"Alright tell me what your questions are "I whispered sipping my tea.
" Is the first time you've ever gotten pregnant "asked Sunny thinking that the answer was an obvious no and I could only smile at her because I was about to reveal my biggest secret.
"Yes Sunny this isn't the first time I've been pregnant while we were on the run I got pregnant and I had a baby "I said I couldn't keep the sad look off my face. I felt that same feeling like I was going back in time as I remembered that time so long ago as I started to tell the Sunny the truth.
FLASHBACK
It was just before we left the lucky smells lumber mill when I found out I was pregnant; we didn't know what to do we already had you we knew we couldn't keep the baby, but we knew we couldn't tell anybody either.
"The hardest part of it all was the constant moving around "I said part of her leaving the kitchen and going into a memory.
It was hard hiding it the bigger I got, but we managed and luckily no one caught on.
"When we moved to dark avenue Klaus became very worried about my condition because of all the stairs "I said smiling at the memory of Klaus carrying me up the stairs when they were alone.
"When was the baby born "whispered Sunny leaning in close.
"When we were fleeing from the village, but we were at that hospital "I whispered wanting to cry at the memory of giving up my little baby. I remembered Klaus making sure sunny was ok then he left me in the unfinished wing of the hospital as he went for a doctor.
That was the first and last time I ever saw Klaus do something violent. He came back with a doctor holding everything needed to deliver the baby and as he came to my side that's when I saw Klaus had a knife in his hand. My dress was removed and I was covered and surrounded in blankets as pillows were put under my head.
"Hold that leg "said the doctor to Klaus as he put the other against his shoulder as I screamed in pain as the contractions got closer and closer together.
"Klaus "I screamed reaching for his hand looking up into his eyes begging him to make it stop. The doctor got into his black medical bag pulling out a needle and a bottle of meds. As I waited for him to inject the meds into my arm I couldn't believe what was happening it felt like someone was trying to tear me apart or cut me in half the pain was excruciating. After the doctor pumped me full of meds it felt like the pain became somewhat bearable it didn't go away, but it was bearable.
"Thank you "I whispered smiling the best I could at the doctor for making the pain go away.
The doctor looked at Klaus and the knife by his side wanting to speak, but part of him was scared to.
"It's time for her to push "said the doctor nervously.
"Ok Violet you have to push now "whispered Klaus looking at me worried as he stroked my cheek.
"No Klaus I'm not ready I'm scared please Klaus please I'm so scared "I cried tears streaming down her face from the pain and fear.
" I know, but I'm right here with you now push I'll be right here the whole time you not in this alone " whispered Klaus taking my hand and feeling as I squeezed it hard as I started to push as he held my leg as I screamed in pain.
I screaming throughout the entire delivery as I pushed stopping only to take a breath hearing as Klaus groaned because I was clutching his hand so hard I was close to breaking his hand.
"Good now again "whispered the doctor feeling as she applied pressure to his shoulder and hearing me scream as I pushed again.
" Ok the head is out we're almost there just one more big push and it will all be over now push " whispered the doctor at that moment I pushed hard screaming as I did so.
"Good again "whispered the doctor looking at me as if to say I'm sorry, but it's almost over.
"You said one more "I screamed my breathing hard as I cried harder.
"Just one more hard push "whispered the doctor looking at me then at Klaus as I pushed. Suddenly all we heard was crying and it wasn't mine it was the crying of the little baby the doctor now held in his arms taking it aside to clean it up.
" Your amazing " smiled Klaus taking me easily into his arms and looking at me as he kissed me after I fell onto the pillows completely exhausted waiting for the doctor to finish cleaning our baby. The doctor came after a few moments sitting on one side of me he was almost as tired as me.
"Here's your baby girl "whispered the doctor setting the beautiful baby girl in my arms letting me and Klaus see her for what we knew would be the first and last time.
We looked down at her amazed that we had created this little person.
"Do you have a name for her yet "said the doctor smiling at the three of them despite being forced here by gunpoint he was glad he was there?
"No we can't keep her it's not safe could you give her a good home "I asked looking at Klaus then at the doctor I knew that this doctor was a good man and I had a feeling our baby would be safe with him.
"I'm sorry I brought you here by knife point "apologized Klaus looking at the doctor and holding out his hand shaking hands with the doctor. Klaus and I kissed our daughter then we kissed each other we both had tears in our eyes.
"I understand my wife and I will give her a good home, but I insist that you name her "whispered the doctor smiling at us as we smiled back looking at each other than at our daughter.
"Let's name her after the people who've helped us, the ones we've lost "I whispered looking down at my baby girl; she had my light brown hair and the brown eyes we both shared.
"Her name is Josephine we want to name her Josephine "we said together as we both kissed our daughter goodbye because we knew we would never see her again aft I handed her over to the doctor. Klaus left me giving me time to get dressed again as he took the doctor back to the finished wing of the hospital. As I finished telling Sunny our secret Iooking around at the kitchen as I looked at Sunny as she sat with me.
"I'm sorry we never told you, but for a long time after that Klaus and I couldn't talk about it "I said as we stood up together hugging.
After we went to bed as we lay in bed that night I couldn't stop thinking about Klaus and our daughter I desperately hoped she was safe and that she was happy.
