Ok, the last chapter wasn't good becaude I had to write it really fast, but I hope this one is better… (thanx for your reviews guys!) oh btw, please let me know if the story is getting boring, I'll add more interesting things to it.



'Mom? Is everything ok? Is something wrong? Please tell me!' , Audrey was starting to freak out a little. Obviously, her mom wasn't ok, but if only she would tell Audrey what it was that made her so upset…

~ Uh-oh… What to do now? Ok. Think Starling. My 8 year old daughter suspects something's wrong, this proves I suck as an actress. Damn, she's right! Something IS wrong! How the hell do I have to tell this to everybody?! Oh my God I can't handle this!~

'Audrey, will you please go the man who's talking to Georgina and tell him to come over here? Just tell him I need to talk to him.' ~Hope that will do…~

But while Clarice told her daughter this, Hannibal was already approaching.

'Never mind, Aud, just go play with your friends, ok? Everything's fine.'

Audrey was confused, why would her mother want to talk to that guy? She didn't want to go, but decided not to argue and walked over to Georgina and Eliza.

'So Clarice, I see you've gotten over the shock a bit since I see you talking again. I must say you look wonderful.' As he said this, he never took his eyes off her, he was obviously delighted to see her.

~If only he knew…~ , Clarice thought to herself.

'Thank you, Hannibal. But can I please ask why you are here? You can't be here just because of us, right?' She just had to ask him that one, and she hoped she would get an answer from him.

'I live here, Clarice. Florence is lovely this time of year. And Clarice, was it just me, or did you say 'you can't be here because of US?'

~Oh, Starling you idiot, you and your big mouth!!! Now what???~

'Umm, well you see it's like this…'

~How is it girl? Say something!!! Tell him! Anything!~

At that very moment, Audrey and Georgina came up to them.

'Mom! Eliza just left, were going to the apartment and watch a movie or something, ok?'

~SAVED! Thank you Georgina! Now he knows I have kids, they called me mom in front of him. Now I just have to tell him that those cute little twin sisters are HIS daughters…~

'That's fine, sweetie just go ahead. I'll see you two upstairs.' , Clarice didn't realise how relieved she must have looked when the girls ran over to them, but Hannibal did notice this little thing.

'I must say, Clarice, you're daughters are just like you, the same beauty , the same nature… But I couldn't help noticing how relieved you looked when Georgina interrupted our little conversation. Why was that? Please tell me truly, Special Agent Starling.' Though he already knew what Clarice had to tell him, he was curious to find out how she would say this to him.

'Well, you see. I have to tell you something and I really have no idea how to tell you this, but then my daughters came and they already revealed half of it. So that's why I was relieved.' She spoke so fast that Hannibal had trouble hearing what she said.

'And what is the other half of it, Clarice? Can you tell me now?'

~Oh God, oh my God! How? How? How can I tell him this?'

'You know, Audrey and Georgina, you know, I have to tell you, you know, they have a father.'

~Oh Jezus how stupid that must sound!!!! 'They have a father you know' Clarice Starling, can't you think of anything that is a little better that this sad line?~

'And their father…' She looked up at him, he got the signal, but he didn't look surprised.

'It's ok Clarice, I know.' He took her into his arms.

'You know? How?' She lay back against him.

'I had a little chat with both of your - our - lovely daughters. I found out Aurelia knows a great deal about purgatory… and Georgina wants to be a designer.'

They both chuckled at those little facts and Clarice suggested they'd go to her apartment, to the girls…
