We're Parents

Begin!

Universe*

~Normal POV

"Duncan, will you please stop freaking out?"

"Violet; how can I not freak out? You're in labor!"

Violet rolled her eyes, "Yes I am now let's just get to the hospital. The others will meet us there."

Duncan grabbed her bag and joined her at the front door. "Violet... we're about to be parents."

She smiled at him, "I know."

When everyone arrived at the hospital Klaus and Quigley were freaking out the most about becoming uncles. Isadora and Fiona, both pregnant themselves but not as far along, simply sat with them in the waiting room and calmly read their books. The two found their respective husband's reactions amusing. Sunny was practically jumping up and down with excitement. On this day, the Baudelaire and Quagmire parents in the great beyond were going to get their wish when Violet and Duncan had their child. Unfortunately only the father was allowed to be present when the baby was born so the others had to wait outside.

"It's a girl!"

Violet was handed their little daughter wrapped in a tight blanket. She had tears in her eyes and Duncan was standing beside the bed watching with pride.

"She's here..." Duncan breathed out softly.

"She's real..."

"Violet... she's perfect..."

The nurse helped write out the birth certificate before leaving the happy couple alone.

"Duncan, would you like to hold her?"

He smiled and eagerly took his daughter into his arms. She had his wide green eyes and black hair from both her parents. The rest of her facial features were a mixture between the Quagmire and Baudelaire sides of her family. Duncan couldn't hold back his tears.

"Honey are you crying?"

"Maybe..." He gently hugged her to his chest. "I can't believe she's actually here."

Violet smiled proudly at him, "We did a pretty good job, didn't we?"

"Heh, yeah we did." He gently handed the baby back to her and leaned down to kiss her cheek. "Are you gonna be alright?"

"I'll be fine after I rest; now go get everyone else," Violet replied, "I'm sure they're anxious to meet their niece."

"Hey Violet..."

"Yeah?"

"We're parents," Duncan said proudly.

Violet held their little baby close to her heart gently, "Yeah we are..."

The two stared at their beautiful daughter and thought about their own parents. Though they were no longer with them due to tragic circumstances they could see traces of their bloodlines in their daughter's smiling face. She was gazing up at them curiously, her eyes full of wonder at her surroundings and all the new experiences she was having. Duncan and Violet could even sense their parents' spirits watching them with sheer joy at the sight before them.

"Your name is Nikki Karen Quagmire," Violet said, "And we're so happy to meet you at last."

~...

Everyone was overjoyed to meet their little niece. Klaus and Quigley were trying not to cry and told Duncan how happy they were for him. Isadora and Fiona couldn't stop gushing over how cute she was and how excited they were to eventually meet their own babies soon. Sunny was squealing with joy at being an auntie a last. Once the baby girl was taken away by a nurse, the whole family gave Violet and Duncan hugs and left the two alone once more. Duncan sat with his wife as she rested from her tiring ordeal.

"Do you think they're proud of us? For making it this far I mean," Duncan asked.

"Of course they are," Violet answered, "Everyone's happy for us. And we'll be wonderful parents."

"I promise I'll be the best daddy ever."

Violet gave him a look, and he changed his statement, "Alright, I'll try to be the best daddy ever."

"And you promise that you'll let up on her being around boys eventually?"

Duncan paused, "I'll think about it."

~The End!

Shortest one so far I know, but I wanted to make a wholesome short one this time. I'll see you in the next one! Bye!
