So this is the start of a who knows how long oneshot collection. I'm really excited for all the stories I'm going to write, and I hope you are too!
So in the epilogue of my story I Knew it Wasn't the Last Time I mention that Violet and Duncan's gender reveal party was the best because they had a special surprise involved. I thought I'd write a story about that surprise, and the party of course.
So this takes place in the future of course. Violet=24, the triplets=23, Klaus=22, Fiona=25, Sunny=12.
Violet smiled the whole way home from the hospital. She had just been at the pregnancy checkup where she would get to know if she was having a boy or girl. If it isn't obvious already, Violet Quagmire was pregnant; with her first child. She wasn't the only one pregnant though. Isadora was as well, only one month ahead of Violet. Fiona was also pregnant, even though she had her first daughter just a year ago. Violet was the middle pregnancy, meaning her child would be the middle cousin born this year. Now she finally knew what she was having.
She pulled into the driveway at hers and Duncan's huge mansion. They had bought it a few years back, using a small part of the Baudelaire fortune. Just a month later Duncan proposed, and they got married a few months later.
Excited, Violet jumped out of the car, and sprinted along the path up to the door. She pulled it open, and went inside.
"Honey, I'm home!" she hung her thin jacket on a hook on the wall.
Duncan came running just a second later.
"Welcome home love. I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you," he gave her a kiss.
"No worries; I can just tell you now. It would almost be even more magical than a doctor telling you."
"Okay, you can't drag this out anymore, love," Duncan smiled at his beautiful wife. "Just tell me what we're having!"
Violet nodded excitedly.
"We are having...," she dragged it out even though Duncan said against it; it was fun. "a boy!"
"Oh, thank you, Violet!" Duncan threw his arms around Violet, and kissed her happily.
"I didn't really control it. No need to thank me. Thank your future son instead"
Duncan bent his legs slightly, and put his hands on Violet's belly.
"He's going to be just as handsome as his father, I can feel it."
Violet giggled.
"Feeling full of yourself?"
"No, I'm just in a good mood," Duncan shook his head, and smiled.
When he straightened back up, and looked back at Violet, she grinned at him.
"But I do know he will be as handsome as his father," she said.
Duncan laughed a bit, and pat her belly.
"And his two sisters will be just as beautiful as their mother," Violet suddenly stated.
Duncan's face went blank, and he stared right into Violet's blue eyes.
"What did you say?" he asked, slightly slurring.
Violet giggled.
"Honey, we're having triplets."
With that, Duncan fell to the floor, much to Violet's amusement.
"Just like when he found out I was pregnant," Violet sighed, and rubbed her belly.
"Welcome to our gender reveal party!" Violet shouted into the backyard.
Everyone in the fenced in yard started cheering. All of their siblings, guardians, Beatrice and Fiona were gathered there. Duncan and Violet stood on the porch.
"Are you ready to find out what we're having!?" Duncan shouted.
After being starstruck for a couple of hours, he finally seemed ecstatic about having triplets instead of being shocked about it.
"YEAH!" Everyone shouted back.
Duncan nodded towards the door, and Violet went inside.
"So the way this gender reveal will work is that we have a big black balloon. When this balloon is popped, you'll have the answer."
"Who's popping the balloon?" Fiona asked, while letting her one year old daughter Quinn play with her braid.
"One of you!" Violet came out, holding the balloon Duncan was talking about. "Whoever gets this question right."
Their family got silent, quietly waiting in anticipation.
"If we have a girl; what does Violet want to name it?" Duncan asked.
"Paisley!" Isadora shouted when Duncan had barely finished the question.
She didn't even have to wait for Violet to tell her the answer was right, she already knew it, and so she ran up and joined them on the porch. Duncan handed her a needle, and Isadora started jumping from joy - literally.
"Are you ready?" Violet asked, smiling just by the looks of Isadora's excitement.
Isadora nodded and held the needle up to the black gleaming surface of the balloon.
"One... Two... Three!"
She stabbed the balloon with the needle, and a loud bang followed. But there was no confetti falling down onto the floor. Instead, there were three smaller balloons, which looked exactly like the bigger one.
Everyone looked pretty confused, but Violet and Duncan just smiled.
"What... what does this mean?" Isadora asked.
Klaus gasped, and everyone turned their heads to him.
"You're having triplets!"
Violet nodded.
"Yeah," she giggled a bit. "We are."
"Oh my goodness! Three nieces or nephews at the same time!" Isadora celebrated.
"This will be great!" Fiona said, making Quinn clap her hands.
"You're not a triplet," Quigley reminded her, laughing at the thought of Duncan trying to take care of three babies at once.
"Are these balloons for the gender of the triplets?" Isadora gestured to the balloons she was holding.
Violet nodded.
"And we thought that no one better to pop them... than Sunny, Klaus and Quigley."
Sunny lit up, and ran up onto the porch, while Klaus and Quigley walked up. Isadora handed them one balloon each, and first of gave the needle to Klaus.
"Here we go," he said, and popped the balloon.
Pink confetti rained down on him as he handed the needle to Quigley. When he in turn popped the second balloon, blue confetti exploded all over the place. Sunny practically ripped the needle from his hand, and popped her balloon without hesitating. She immediately started dancing in the pink confetti.
Everyone continued to have a great time at the party. Isadora, Quigley and Duncan spent a great amount of time answering questions and talking about how it was being a triplet, and how to take care of them. Violet and Duncan had a lot to prepare for...
Sunny danced with Quinn for no reason except she felt like it, and they all shared three cakes. One red velvet, one blueberry, and one strawberry. At the end of the day, the gender reveal party had been so much more than expected for any of them.
"I still can't believe it," Violet said.
She and Duncan were laying in their bed on the night after the party.
"I don't think any of us can."
They smiled at each other.
"How did you come up with that question to determine who would get to pop the balloon anyway?" Duncan asked.
"Well... I've been thinking about names. And you know I love Paisley."
Duncan nodded.
"Want to come up with some names?" he sat up.
"Definitely," Violet smiled, and sat up too. "We have to name one Paisley."
"Of course love," Duncan kissed her cheek. "You know the Quagmire naming tradition?"
Violet shook her head.
"Well, it's been a tradition for multiple generations that the firstborn son gets a name starting with Q. Like my dad; Quentin, and Quigley," Duncan explained.
"That's sounds fun. You got any names?"
Duncan looked down and nodded.
"Quintus," he said.
"Honey, I love it," Violet replied. "Paisley, Quintus and..."
"We could honor someone."
"Good idea. Who?"
Duncan thought for a second, before he smiled.
"My mother. We already have Beatrice, so why not name her after my mother?"
"I like that idea. Paisley, Quintus and Karen."
Duncan frowned a little hesitantly.
"I don't know about it though. Karen is a little... old school."
"We could modernize it," Violet suggested. "Carrie?"
"That's perfect," Duncan grinned.
"Paisley, Quintus and Carrie."
"Or Quintus, Paisley and Carrie."
"Or Carrie, Quintus and Paisley."
And in that order, the second set of Quagmire triplets were born on August 14th. Carrie Jane Quagmire, Quintus Collin Quagmire, and Paisley Sienna Quagmire.
That was the first of many to come. Just remember that not all stories will be like this. Some will be the exact opposite, and some will be similar in some ways. And because I want such a huge variety, this next part is important.
I TAKE SUGGESTIONS!
My PM's are finally working, so if you have a story idea you would want me to write, PM me with this layout.
The story idea.
What characters are in it.
What happens.
Other things to the story.
Whether you want credit for the story idea or not
Thank you so much for any ideas you might come up with.
My PM's can still struggle, and so I will reply to all messages I get. If I don't reply in more than 24 hours, write that in a review for any story. When you've sent the PM, make sure you don't press the return arrow button in the corner, because then the PM will most likely not be sent. (I tried with my sister).
