Quigley pulled up outside Klaus, Isadora, and Duncan's house. Sunny was there too, she normally lived with Violet and Quigley, but she was staying with the others during Violets final months of pregnancy. Quigley and Violet used to live here too, before they got married.
Quigley knocked on the door, and one of his triplets; Isadora answered it.
"Hey Quig! Come in." She led him into the lounge room. "Duncan! Klaus! Sunny! Quigley's here!" She yelled at the stairs.
"Helloooooo!" Sunny sang.
"Hey! How're you? How's Violet? How're the triplets? What're their names?"
"One question at a time, Klaus!" Laughed Duncan.
"Hey Quig are you all right?" Isadora noticed that her usually chirpy brother hadn't spoken yet, or even smiled.
"You look like you just saw a ghost" Duncan noticed that his normally funny brother was frightfully pale, and he had no expression on his face.
"What's the matter?" Klaus asked. "Is it Violet?"
Quigley nodded.
"What happened?" Sunny said innocently.
Quigley spoke for the first time.
"She—There were…complications."
"What sort of complications? Are the triplets all right?" Isadora sounded worried.
"The triplets are fine…Violet…She—she didn't make it."
Everybody stared at Quigley and was silent. Then Klaus spoke up.
"What?"
Quigley just nodded again.
"No. Violet!" Klaus started to cry, and Isadora went over and gave him a hug. She was crying too. Duncan started to cry as the news finally hit him. Sunny hadn't really understood all that was going on, but she got the gist of it. Violet wasn't coming back.
Nine months ago...
Isadora was crying, "Oh I'm so happy for you Violet!"
"I think we should have a party!" Duncan was always ready for a party.
"I'm gonna be an uncle! Wow! Uncle Klaus!"
"What will I be?" Sunny asked.
"You're going to be an aunty. Aunty Sunny."
"YAY!"
Quigley smiled. He was the happiest person alive, he had married his sweetheart; Violet, and now they were expecting their first child, or children.
After a couple of hours of talking, and crying, Quigley decided to leave.
"Well, I'd better get back to the hospital, and see my new children."
"Bye Quigley." Isadora hugged her brother. "If there's anything you need, just call."
"I'll be alright, bye."
Isadora looked on as Quigley walked back to his car, she was worried about him; he hadn't said much while he was there, and he didn't cry either, he just sat there and stared, emotionless. 'He'll be alright' she reassured herself.
