'Why don't we all go get some ice cream, huh? Then we'll talk about this
situation. What do you say, girls?'
Audrey hesitated for a moment but then said:
'Ok. But you have to promise to tell us what's going on! Can we guess? Let's make it a game! We'll come up with things and then you tell us if it's right or wrong.'
Clarice looked a little more comfortable when her daughter suggested this and replied:
'Sure, that sounds like a fun game to me.'
Then Georgina joined in the conversation.
'Aud! We still don't know his name! Let's guess that one too!'
'Awesome! I'm so good at that.'
Hannibal chuckled at her words, this girl was so much like his Clarice. He really wanted to get to know his daughters better. So he suggested that they started walking to the car and get to TCBY. While they were in the car, Audrey was trying to guess his name and Georgina was suggesting all sorts of situations to figure out how Clarice met 'the Armani guy' .
'You… worked at the supermarket where mom goes!'
'Not entirely, no…' This was so funny…
'I think your name is… Justin!'
~Oh my God! Where does she get all those names? I'm afraid we'll have to tell them ourselves anyway!~ , Clarice thought.
'No way! He doesn't look like a Justin! I'm thinking of something deeper… something more mystical… like… Caesar! No wait, not Caesar. What was the name of the guy who brought all those elephants over the Alps again? I remember I read a book about that in the plane, what was it? Harold? No! Hank? No don't think so. Wait I know! I think it was… Hannibal ! That's it! He brought all those big elephants over the Alps! That name suits you!'
~Oh my God, she actually said the right name! Let's hope they can guess why he's here too.'~ Clarice thought again.
'I would have to say that you're right, Audrey.' He was amazed too.
'I am?! Wow!!! I'm awesome. So your name's Hannibal! Cool.'
'We're here, guys. Ice cream awaits!'
'Yay!' As mature as she was for her age, Audrey was still an 8-year old girl, who jumps at the idea of having an ice cream… He already knew she was going to be his favorite… It wasn't that he liked her more than Georgina, it was just that she had all of Clarice's qualities, and yet she looked so much like him in a way. Georgina didn't have that, she was liek any other 8- year old, without having something in common with a cannibalistic serial killer who liked to read Marcus Aurelius. But that didn't matter to him, he loved them both very much already.
In the meantine Clarice and the girls had already ordered 4 big coupes and were sitting with him at their table again.
'So, I can't guess anymore! Tell us how you two know eachother or how you met or whatever!'
~Okidoki, here we go…~
~This is it… The Moment of Thruth…~
'Well Georgina, remember when you told me abour Regina, how her dad always picks her up from school in this big BMW?'
'Yes, I asked you if we could have that too one day, why?'
'You can have that now.'
'Like right now? I don't see a BMW.'
Audrey hadn't said anything in about 3 minutes, which was very long for her. But now she spoke up:
'Georgia you idiot! Not the BMW, the dad! Don't you get it? We never had a dad and now we do… That must mean… Hannibal is our dad!'
Everyone in the TCBY heard it because she was almost screaming. If it was out of happines or out of astonishment, she did not know herself. Everyone was quiet for a moment, but then the other guest started talking to eachother again. The Lecter Family remained quiet untill Georgina broke the silence.
'Why did you go away? Did we do something wrong?'
'No, don't you ever think that, it was not your fault. It just wasn't safe for us to be together back then.'
'And now it is?' Audrey asked.
'I suppose so, but if we want to be a family you three girls must move out of Washington.'
'To where?' Georgina was very interested in the thought of having a dad.
'Can we stay here? I really love it here! How about you Georg?'
'Me too! Can we please stay here, mom?' She hesitated for a second and then said :
'Dad? Can we?' Now that the ice was broken Audrey wasn't afraid to call him dad either.
'Please???? And dad? Can you pick us up from school too? In Washington? Please? Just one tiem, to show Courtney Andrews we have a dad too! She'll be so shocked! I hope it kills her, you know, so she gets a heart attack, then she'll regret all those times she told me we can't be anyone without a father!'
'I suppose I can do that once… Just for my girls…' That sounded so bizarre, he thought, his girls… He never even thought about having a child, and now he had two.
'Thank you soooo much! Love ya!' She couldn't be happier… she lost count of how many times she and Georgina had been lying in bed, talking, dreaming of how it would be to have a dad. And now they finally had one!
Clarice and Hannibal were really happy for them too, but also for themselves, as they had found their one true love again after eight years…
Corny, I know. But it's the best I could do! Thanx for all your encouraging reviews!
I yhink I'll be adding a few more chapters to this story. You know , how life will be for them and stuuf like that. Oh yeah, sorry it took me sooo long to get this chapter finished.
