A/N: Sorry about the wait!
Isadora lay on the couch with the TV on but she wasn't watching the TV she was more concerned about the news Duncan gave them. He barley knew her. She heard the phone ring and went to pick it up. She assumed it was Violet calling to say she was dropping off the kids.
"Hello," She said into the phone.
"Hi," A man's voice answered back.
"Is this Isadora Baudelaire?"
"Yes I am she."
"This is William Marko from the Poetry school of New York. I have your latest Poetry book here and I am impressed with your work. I have a job opening here for a teacher's job and I think you will be just the right person for the job. The class is the basics of writing couplets. Would you be interested?"
"I would be very interested but I would have to discuss this with my husband first. We are expecting a baby so I don't think that is very possible."
"I understand that and this job doesn't start for 8 months at the start of next term so if you and your husband are up to the move there is a daycare at the college and I hope you will consider this."
"I will talk this over with my husband thank you. I will get back to you by the end of the week."
"My number is 555-4678. I look forward to hearing from you at the end of the week." The click at the other end of the line told Isadora that the call was over. She copied down the number and put it on the fridge with a magnet. She heard the door open and saw Klaus walk in with a bag of food in his hand. Isadora smiled at him and sat down at the table next to him. He placed his hand on her stomach and kissed her forehead.
"How are you doing?" He asked her.
"Not bad." She answered.
"What's wrong?" Klaus started to pull out Chinese food from the bag. She hated how intuitive he was. He could always tell what was wrong even when she didn't want him to.
"William Marko called. He is from the New York School of Poetry."
"What did he want?" Klaus started to eat.
"He offered me a job." Isadora paused.
"They have a school in California?"
"No," Klaus looked at her.
"But what about the baby?"
"The job won't start for another 8 months and they have a daycare at the school."
"What about the shop?" Isadora didn't answer she felt bad making Klaus leave his store but they didn't have to do it. "You know what? I've wanted to branch out. I could open one in New York and hire a new manager here. Sunny could work there too so it will stay a family business." Isadora's smile brightened.
"Yeah?" Klaus smiled at her and nodded. She stood up and hugged him her smile reached her eyes. She grabbed a container of Chinese food and some chopsticks. She suddenly was hungry. Later after Klaus left Isadora was thinking about Duncan. Realizing that she may not know her but Duncan did. She picked up the phone and called Violet's cell.
"Hello," Violet said
"Hey!" Isadora answered.
"I'm sorry I've been swamped at work I didn't have time to drop the kids off."
"It's ok I was just wondering if you could help me by picking up party decorations on your way home from work."
"Anything in particular?"
"Congratulations signs white streamers!"
"Yeah I'd be happy to." Isadora could tell Violet was happy that she was accepting the fact that Duncan was getting Married.
"See you soon!"
"Bye!" Isadora hung up the phone and decided to make one more call before Sunny got home. She dialed the number and waited to hear Quigley's voice.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Quig. I wanted to tell you that I am throwing Duncan a congratulations party later. Are you coming?"
"You mean to tell me that you're ok with this?"
"I'm not sure but I think that he is our brother and we need to support him with his decision."
"I guess you right but I don't know if I'm ok with it either."
"That's ok we just need to be there for him."
"Ok I'll see you at 5."
"See ya." Isadora hung up the phone as Sunny came bursting in.
"My life officially sucks!" Sunny slumped onto the couch.
"What's wrong?"
"Matt asked me out again and I can't even go because Violet grounded me."
"Aw, I'm sorry."
"It's ok I'm hoping that he'll wait if he likes me."
"Don't worry he will," Isadora assured her.
"Where are Mikey and Ally?"
"Violet didn't have time to drop them off."
"Oh!"
"Do you want to help me make a congratulations dinner for Duncan?"
"Yeah sure!" Sunny said eager to get her mind off of Matt. She went into the kitchen to help Isadora prepare.
