Klaus was walking down the halls and turned his head. "Hey." "Hey. Did you find your book?" His sister half smiled. "Yep!" He smiled and held up a copy of Solar Energy Engineering by Soteris A. Kalogiru and Entomology by Credric Gillot. "Cool!" Madison smiled. "Did you guys find anything?" "I found an animal book for Sunny and a book on cooking for myself." "A sequel to my favorite series." "Ah there you children are." Mr. Poe walked over and cleared his throat. "Ready to check out?" They nodded. "Yep. We're all set."

"Wonderful." Madison took out the five dollar retail fee from her pocket since she didn't have a library card. "I'll cover it Maddie. Save it." The banker replied. She blushed but smiled. "Thank you." The four followed down a long hallway. Violet's eyes wandered around the place and stopped as she saw a rather intelligent looking man standing at the front desk. "Is that Olaf?" She whispered to Madison. "Yes. I can tell it is. Don't say anything." She nodded. "Good afternoon sir. Find everything alright?" Professor Gonzolas greeted. Mr. Poe, with a weak ability to memorize faces, nodded. "Yes. Thank you." The teens placed their books on top of the desk next to the banker's. "What charming kids. Are they yours?" He asked as he checked out each book. "These three, Yes." Mr. Poe motioned with his hand. "Ah wonderful. The total is thirty dollars and fifty cents." The banker handed over the exact amount and the children gathered their books.

"Enjoy your books children." The professor smiled and Violet and Madison flinched. "Thank you sir." Klaus unsurely spoke up and followed the rest out the door.

Mr. Poe unlocked the car and everyone got in. "Thank you Mr. Poe." Madison smiled. "Oh you're quite welcome." He started the car and drove back home. Twenty minutes past and the banker parked the car. "Alrighty, Everybody out." The teens followed into the house and smiled. "Are you going to read in the living room?" Violet nodded. "Yes sir." "Very well. I have some work to do in my office." He walked up the staircase and closed a door.

The kids all found a comfortable spot on the couches and floor and began to read. "Violet?" Klaus spoke up. "Yeah?" She looked up from her book. "Did..Did that librarian look familiar to you?" "Yes. That was Olaf." Madison cleared her throat and took a pillow from the couch and rested her stomach on it. "How did you know?" Madison felt a little nauseous. "Maddie? What happened?" Klaus asked seriously.

She didn't respond and started to tear up, laying on her back with her head on the pillow. The room started to spin. "Klaus, Go get a warm wash cloth." Violet looked at him and he nodded. "You're fine." She held the girl's hand. "I don't..want to have his children." She whispered and closed her eyes. Violet shivered. "He really said that?" "Yes." Klaus came back and placed the cloth on her forehead. "Was it something I said? I'm so sorry." "It wasn't." The girl sighed. There was a short pause.

"He wants me." "What?" Klaus almost shouted. "I was cornered last night about becoming his future bride and a mother." "That's disgusting." Violet scowled. "Does Mr. Poe know about this?" "Yes Klaus. That's why you were sent here with me."

Madison's skin became very cold and she slowly opened her eyes. Sunny crawled over and started to pat her stomach. "Baby?" The teens turned to their sister in shock. "No Sunny. No baby." Madison gulped and slowly sat up. "Don't mention this to Mr. Poe. I don't want to bother him about this again. Klaus?" She turned her head. He was silent for a minute and quickly nodded. "Violet?" She teared up a little but then nodded as well. Madison stood up and sighed. "Okay...Okay." The girl walked over to the bathroom.

Violet sighed and went back to reading. "Why did our parents do this to us?" "Violet!" "Klaus. If they were still here, We wouldn't be in this situation." She sighed and cleared her face. "I'm sorry. I was just stressed out." Klaus hugged his sister and sighed. "We'll find a way out. I promise." He let go and the banker walked out if his office.

"Are you children enjoying your books?" Madison wiped her face and left the bathroom, joining the Baudelaires. "Yes. I found a new cherry pie recipe." Mr. Poe smiled at Violet. "Ah. The culinary arts. How nice. Speaking of which, it's almost dinner time. Would you children like to.."

There was a rather loud knock at the door and Madison started to tremble. "..order Chinese?" He continued as he walked over to the front of the house. "Sure. Thank you." Violet forced a smile. Madison hid behind a small bookshelf and started pant. 'Why can't I just go home?' The Baudelaires innocently continued to read, but kept their ears open. Mr. Poe coughed into a small tissue and opened the door.

"Greetings. I'm Gregory Fitch. My fellow co-workers and I are happy to announce our newest location for Mass. Pizza Restaurant just up the road." A monotone voice smiled and held a stack of paper menus. Madison tightly shut her eyes and slowly looked behind the bookcase. The man had shaggy black hair and wore the required uniform of a red polo shirt, white tennis shoes, and light kaki pants. She quickly leaned behind the case and started to quietly tear up. "Ah. How nice." Mr. Poe smiled and took the brochure from his hand. "How long have you been around?" Violet looked up to the man and scowled. His facial features were the same except for black eyeliner, making him look in his early thirties. She quickly looked around and started to panic. Madison was nowhere in sight. "The first business was opened in nineteen eighty-eight. Approximately twenty-eight years. Time flies too quickly." 'Gregory' leaned in the doorway.

"That it does..That it does." The banker nodded and Violet quietly tore off a strip of paper out of a notebook and wrote 'It's Olaf. Stay here. I'm going to look for Maddie.' She folded up the paper like a bookmark and placed it under the next page of her brother's book. He squinted his eyes a little and unfolded the paper and quickly nodded. Violet looked around near the bookshelves and found Madison on the ground in a ball. Before she said anything, the girl snuck behind the staircase and walked into a hallway. "Maddie." Violet whispered and held her right hand on her chest. "There you are." Violet blushed and remembered something. "Yeah I'm here. What's up?" Violet took her hand and led her to the other bathroom, closing the door. "What's going on Vi? Are you feeling sick again?" "Maddie it's not that. It's just.." "Just what?" Madison tilted her head.

"We're cousins." "Woah." Madison gasped and cleared her throat. "Small world I guess." "That means no more kissing. My mother was always told that incest was wrong and.." Madison placed a finger on her lips then softly kissed her. "No one has to know." She whispered and gently held Violet against a wall. "Will you be my Juliet if I be your Romeo?" The fourteen year old smiled and kissed her back. "Yes. I will." They kissed rougher and Violet sunk to the floor. Madison slowly lifted the girl's shirt, exposing her white strapless bra. "Don't be afraid." The girl looked at Violet with a serious look. "I'm not." She whispered and closed her eyes. Madison reached behind her back and undid her bra, letting it fall to the ground. Violet widened her eyes and groaned. "Shh.." The fifteen year old rubbed her forehead and lightly kissed it. Her lips moved down to her chest and on to each of her breasts, planting small kisses. Violet gulped and started to pant. "Oh my gosh..Please..I want more."

There was a quiet knock on the door and the girls stood up. Violet grabbed her bra and quickly put it on. The two looked in the mirror and started to mess with their hair. "Yeah?" Madison called out and opened the door. "Hey. Olaf's gone. To celebrate the new opening, a medium cheese pizza was on the house. Meet us in the kitchen." "Oh okay. Thanks Klaus. I'll be right there." He nodded and headed down the hall. "You're quite dominate." Violet giggled and hugged the girl from behind. She sighed. "I wish you and I can sleep together." Madison led her out of the bathroom and towards the kitchen. "Like a sleepover? Kinda?" Violet held her hand and smiled. "Yeah." "I'll ask." Madison smiled and they let go of each other's hands as they entered the kitchen.

"There you two went. Everything alright?" Mr. Poe asked, putting a slice of pizza on each plate. "Yeah. I was showing Violet my new eyeliner." Madison smiled and handed a dish to the girl. "Girls and makeup." Klaus playfully rolled his eyes and followed the banker the living room. "Brothers. Do you have one by any chance?" She asked as she cut up a slice into small bits for her sister. "I don't. I'm an only child." "Any friends?" "People I know? Yes. People who accept me? No. Just me and my dog." She lightly smiled and waited for Violet in the doorway. "Come on Sunny. Time to eat." She carried her plate and her sisters to the living room, sitting on the floor. Sunny sat down and picked up the fork and started to eat. "Good girl." Violet smiled and opened up her cookbook to where she left off.

Madison sat on the sofa and looked over her shoulder, scanning through the pages as well. "Oh." Mr. Poe spoke up suddenly. "Maddie?" She turned her head and wiped some sauce off her mouth. "Yes sir?" "Violet?" She looked up from her book. "Yeah?" "The young man who came by earlier said that employment at the restaurant is low and offered you two a three day part time job. Five hours a day and six dollars an hour." Klaus looked a little uneasy but kept reading his book.

"Either of you interested?" The two looked at each other and shrugged. 'At least I won't be alone.' Madison thought and nodded. "Sure. Sounds fun." "Okay. We start tomorrow right?" "Yes. At nine thirty. I'm working from home the next few days so I can drop you two off. I can also help with Sunny if needed." The girls nodded and took their empty plates to the kitchen, placing them in the sink.

"I don't know about this." Violet whispered. "We'll have each other. Besides, since we're new, we'll probably just be training tomorrow. Everything will be fine. I promise." Madison whispered smiling and the two embraced a tight hug. "You're strong." Violet giggled and let go. The fifteen year old smiled. "Come on. I'll ask Mr. Poe if you can sleep over." She smiled and walked off. "Wait up." The girl followed. Klaus walked past them and put his plate in the sink. "Mr. Poe?" The banker put down a newspaper and looked over at the two. "Yes?" "Can Violet sleep over in my room?" Madison spoke but her skin started to heat up a little. "Ah. Girls and sleepovers. Well If you two don't mind sharing the single bed. I don't see why not." He lightly smiled and took a sip of his coffee. "Don't stay up too late. You need to be up and ready to go by nine."

He glanced over at the clock and rose an eyebrow. "Speaking of which, it's almost nine." He laughed. "Okay. Good night Mr. Poe." Madison nodded and tried to hide her excitement. "We'll be up on time." Violet said and they walked off, holding hands as the turned the corner. "Come on Sunny. Time for bed." He knelt down and picked her up. "No." She mumbled. Klaus rolled his eyes smiling and walked off while holding her. "Night Mr. Poe." "As to you. Your sister is camping in Maddie's room tonight." He softly called out. The boy heard but didn't respond. "Alright sis." He lay his sister down in the crib. "Good night." Klaus smiled and walked over to the lower bed. "Perhaps tomorrow I can find a pen and paper to take notes on." He laid down and slowly closed his eyes. So did Sunny.

The girls reached Madison's bedroom and closed the door. "I have an extra pair of pajamas. Here." Madison handed Violet a grey plaid buttoned down top and bottom. She picked up a matching set in red for herself. "This is cute." Violet smiled and they turned around as they got dressed, buttoning their tops all the way. "Sorry if it's a little snug." Madison walked over to the left side of the bed to watch the door and slipped under the covers.

Violet did as well and rested her head down. All of a sudden, she sighed. "What's up?" "You know, You've seen me but I haven't seen you." She giggled. "Oh." She scoffed. "How shallow of me." Madison joked and fully unbuttoned her top, exposing her black bra. "I'm not exactly 'fit'. Sorry." Violet smiled and rested her head on her chest, listening to her heartbeat. "Fine with me." She whispered and closed her eyes.

Madison smiled and fidgeted a little to get comfortable. "You good?" "Uhuh." She sighed and let down the girl's bra straps. Madison sighed and shut her eyes. Violet's right hand cupped the girl's right breast and covered her head with a blanket, kissing it. The girl heavily breathed and hiccupped before settling down. "Good night my Juliet." She whispered and later fell asleep. "Oh Romeo." Violet whispered back. Once Madison fell asleep, Violet lay on her arm and closed her eyes. She let out a small sigh and drifted off to sleep with a smile.
