Inside Of Our Minds (Hannibal Lecter's Son)

Chapter 29) Quiet

Today Ashton and I are preparing the house to leave for the summer. Going to Lithuania. The twins are 6 months old now and they are trying solid foods.

I packed important stuff, documents, clothes, the kids toys, etc.

The way that the castle was laid out is weird, definitely a product of its time.

There's the main floor, which holds a common room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a large dining room. There's the basement obviously but it's for storage.
Upstairs on the east wing is 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom and a children's bedroom. For now the kids are sharing that room, once Arthur is older he can sleep in Papa's old room on the west wing. The twins will also have their own rooms when they are old enough. There's Mischa's nursery and a play room down there as well.

After putting things in the shipment container that would be taken to a ship the next day we said our goodbyes to the house for now. Arthur went around yelling random things, "Goodbye counter I'm not 'llowed to sit on!" "Goodbye fake house pant that I peed in once!" "Goodbye creepy hallway!"

Ashton and I glanced at each other at the mention of the fake house plant, letting a small chuckle escape. Tommy and Mischa were approaching 7 months old. They learned "Mama" and "Dada"

"Before we go, I'd like to bring the kids to see Hannibal." Ashton said. "I want to see him too."

"We can do that." I said rubbing his back.

"Mama." Tommy babbled. Him and Mischa were crawling around Arthur together. Arthur was crawling around like a baby saying "Goo goo gah gah." Giggling as he did so. I chuckled and picked up Arthur, holding him like a baby.

"Oh no Ashton, We have another baby." I teased.

"Uh oh, well babies do need long naps." He said taking Arthur from my arms and rocking him like a baby.

"Mama no!" Arthur laughed. Ashton put him down and picked up Tommy, I picked up Mischa and grabbed the diaper bag.

"We go see Papa?" Arthur asked.

"Yes bud, we won't see him again until next year."

"Oh okay." He said holding Ashton's hand.

Ashton still wasn't too thrilled about the kids seeing Hannibal. He started thinking about what Mick said, that If Hannibal truly wanted to kill him he already would have. Hannibal agreed to take in Ashton as leverage for Mick, as a way of disciplining him into a young man. If you don't play by the rules, you don't get your toys.

Ashton thought back in all those meals, they were delicious. And once he put two and two together he really didn't care. He loved animals more anyways, he a vegetarian because of this. He trusts that Mick won't subdue the children to cannibalism. Arthur was drawing on his little notepad, like his father in a way, artistic.

"Mick, can you grab the bags and put them in the car?" He asked. "If we have time I want to swing by somewhere too."

"Of course love." I said, "Arthur can you help Daddy put the bags in the car?"

"Yes!" Arthur said excitedly, "I'm so strong!" He proclaimed showing his tiny muscles.

"Indeed you are little man." We loaded the babies and the bags into the car, Ashton locked and double locked and checked everything before getting in the car.

"Where are we headed to?" I asked.

"Will Graham's house." He said. "I talked to him on the phone."
