Chapter14-Pregnancies and Miscarriages

One shot where there is a pregnancy and a miscarriage in the Baudelaire-Quagmire household

Isadora and Klaus looked down at the pregnancy test that Isadora was holding in her hands in shock "we're going to have a baby" murmured Isadora.

Klaus puled in close hugging her tightly "I can't believe it this is the best news I have ever heard in a long time." Isadora giggled and the two shared a long kiss "normally I would say we should wait until we are all together but seeing as Quigley and Fiona are away we should go to see Duncan and Violet tell them the good news" she said putting the test on the dresser of their bedroom. "Agreed, we also need to book an appointment with an OBGYN for an ultrasound to find out how far along you are" Klaus said as they sat down Isadora laughed "you are adorable you know that you are going to do nothing but worry for the next few months. I feel sorry for my brother if he and Violet ever decide to have children" at this they both laughed Violet the eldest Baudelaire had a temper which every now and then would show itself. The cause of this would mostly be the phone calls they would receive from Mulctuary Money Management about Financing and sometimes she was just irritable the boys had learnt to stay well clear of her then.

Earlier that same day in fact very much earlier that same day around 3.30am Violet Quagmire woke experience horrible pains in her lower abdomen fear flashed through her and she immediately woke her husband who was sleeping next to her. The couple had found out a month ago that they were expecting their first child and it was that fear which made them drive straight to the hospital after leaving a message for Sunny and asking a neighbour to look after her, to make sure that everything was alright with the baby. Upon seeing Violet's condition, the nurses took her straight into an examination room so they could run some tests all the while Violet was sobbing her eyes out terrified and wished so badly that her mother was here, she needed her so much. Duncan stood by her all the while holding her hand and whispering to her say that everything would be ok but in truth, he was scared but he had to be brave for his beautiful inventor. Finally, they did a scan to check on the baby the expecting parents heard nothing on the monitor the doctors tried to reassure them that it sometimes can take a few minutes to find a heartbeat but they eventually had to tell the parents what had happened. The staff left the room giving the couple some space and Duncan held his wife close as they cried over the loss of their first child both of them wishing that their parents were alive and with them at this turn of unfortunate events only a few days ago they had brought a lovely wooden crib and a rocking chair for the spare room they were going to use as a nursery however both would now stay unused for some time.

…

Klaus and Isadora turned up at their sibling's home, Sunny answered the door when they knocked on "Klaus, Issy why are you here?" she asked Violet and Duncan had said anything to her about them coming over "What no hug for us" answered Klaus smiling at his sister Sunny grinned back and gave them both huge hugs then she looked sad and said "Duncan took Violet to the hospital this morning Miss Jackie said that Violet wasn't feeling well and that now she is poorly" then added as an afterthought "I think Duncan poorly too he still in bed" Isadora smiled at the young girl and said "well how about you make a pot of tea for us and we can take it upstairs and share it with them" Sunny nodded and the trio went into the kitchen and made a pot of Lemon and Chamomile tea putting it on a tray Klaus carried it up the stairs to the master suite. Sunny bounded ahead and knocked on there was a quiet whisper and the sound of footsteps the door opened a Duncan's face appeared red eyed and pale "Sunny is everything ok?" he asked

"Klaus and Issy here" she answered Duncan jolted in surprise noticing that his sister and brother in law in the doorway holding a tray of tea "can we come in Sunny said that neither of you were feeling well" Klaus said. Duncan looked over his shoulder and opened the door. The trio entered the room and Isadora set the tray on the side taking in her sister in laws appearance not that dissimilar from her brother's.

"So how are you?" asked Klaus sitting next to his sister.

"I've been better" she whispered.

"Sunny said you both went to the hospital" Isadora said handing her a cup of tea which Violet accepted. Duncan seeing that Violet wasn't going to say anything spoke for her "We found out a couple of months a go that we were expecting a baby earlier this morning however Violet experienced bad abdominal pains I took her to the hospital but…" he trailed off as tears ran down both his and his wife's faces. Klaus and Isadora looked at each other maybe this wasn't the best time to say anything. Sunny curled up on her sister's lap and Violet pulled her in close crying.

It wasn't until Isadora was properly showing they finally told the rest of the family, Duncan and Violet had moved on even though they didn't have a body they put a small grave marker in their garden in memory of their unborn child. One so innocent taken so young, they are here in spirit never gone.
