A Series of Unfortunate Events One Shots

Happy Birthday Duncan

Begin!

Universe*

~Duncan's POV

I stretched and tried to wake up from my deep slumber. Normally Violet is the one who wakes up first but this was a rare occasion where I did instead. I don't mind waking up early; I just have trouble doing so. I sat up in bed and looked to my side.

"How did I get so lucky?"

Violet Quagmire, my beautiful wife, was resting peacefully on her side. Violet is so absolutely perfect I can't even truly describe her with words. I can try, but no matter how much I say it never feels like it does her justice. I smiled warmly at her as the sunlight coming in through the window gave her a little glow. I gently brushed her hair out of her face and she stirred from my touch.

"I see you're up early for your birthday," She said groggily smiling up at me.

I chuckled, "I can't help it; I wanted my present..."

She made an amused sound and sat up. "I guess I can give you your present early."

She then pulled back the covers a bit. "Oh, look it's already unwrapped..."

I took in the sight of her and smiled, "Just my size too..."

Needless to say, we stayed in bed for a while longer than usual this morning...

~Violet's POV

I grabbed my bathrobe off the wall and covered myself before going to take a shower. Duncan had decided to stay in bed for another minute after his "birthday present" so I didn't mind. After getting dressed I let him hop in the shower and went downstairs to find our 13 year old daughter Nikki waiting in the kitchen. She smiled at me before continuing to work on her drawing. So I went over to start making some breakfast. I may not be a skilled chef like my little sister, but I can cook basic stuff so I made some fried eggs. Duncan likes my cooking anyway; if he didn't then he must be really good at lying since he always finishes his food.

"So mom, what are we doing for dad, Uncle Quigley, and Auntie Isadora's birthday?"

"Well us adults are going out for dinner tonight at Aunt Sunny and Uncle Trevor's restaurant," I replied, "But I suppose you can help me bake your father some cookies later. And then the three of us can watch movies for the rest of the night. Everyone else will be busy with their own plans."

"Can we watch Cinderella first tonight?"

"What are the magic words," I asked.

"The original; not the remake!"

I patted her head, "That's my girl!"

I felt Duncan's arm wrap around me from behind to give me a hug. He kissed my cheek and sat down next to Nikki to eat his breakfast.

"Happy birthday dad!" Nikki stood up and gave her father a hug.

"Thank you Nik," Duncan replied laughing.

Isadora made a little fun speech about how her brothers might be stupid sometimes, but she'll always love them. The rest of us may or may not have seen Duncan and Quigley trying to subtly wipe away their tears. And after a fun night out together we all went to our homes to celebrate in our own ways.

Duncan, Nikki, and I stayed up late eating cookies and watching some of my husband's favorite movies. Of course he had to put up with Nikki and I singing along if it was a musical. He'd totally sing along too, but mostly just wanted to hear us do it instead. Duncan loves listening to his girls sing. It was a long night but eventually Nikki went to bed.

As me and my husband went to bed that night; Duncan, being the casual pervert that he is, asked, "So do I get my birthday present a second time?"

I stared at him with a neutral expression, considering his offer, before responding, "Well... it is your birthday. I don't see why not..."

He kissed me deeply and proceeded to climb on top of me. He then spoke softly in my ear, "I love you Violet."

"I love you too Duncan," I replied, "Happy birthday..."

~The End!

They're married; they can do whatever they want. Sorry that there isn't much in this one; I just wanted a little Dunclet story today. Bye!
