The very next evening, Emmy prepared to tell Bianca the long and troubling tale of the DiPotere curse. But Bianca had a tale of her own to tell.

"Bianca, you're pregnant again!"

"Yes, Emmy, isn't it wonderful?"

"Of course, dear, but we really must talk about..."

"No, Emmy, please. There's something you have to see first."

"Of course, what is it? Bianca? Bianca, you're shaking...what's wrong?"

"It's...it's Allie. She's...oh, God, I don't know...please come see for yourself."

Emmy followed Bianca up the stairs and to the doorway of Allie's room. She stood for a moment, perplexed.

"Bianca? It looks like Allie's just playing with the toy chest we got her. What's wrong?"

"No, listen! She used to mutter as a baby...I dismissed it. But this...this is what she used to say, over and over again. Listen!"

Bianca was right, as Emmy listened, a steady stream of strange lyrics flowed from Allie's lips in sing-song fashion.

Per tractus quod per vicis, meus vox grows infinitus.

A vomica super vox versus goes sicco super terra quod mare.

A vomica pro women sic divinus suum vox adveho volo.

A vomica super women novem quisnam won't exsisto seen iterum.

Generations mos senium pro should forensis pervenio decem,

tunc quod tantum tunc vadum meus vomica adeo an terminus.

The two women looked at each other in a moment of profound silence.

"What is it, Emmy?" begged Bianca finally. "What is she saying? Why does she keep on...like we weren't even standing here watching?"

Emmy listened intently again as Allie ran through the languages which had run though her mind for decades. She closed her eyes and let the rythm of the words flow...

"Latin," she whispered.

"What?" asked Bianca. "What did you say?"

"Latin. Your daughter is speaking in Latin."

"But how on earth..."

Bianca?" Emmy said suddenly, interupting Bianca's flying thoughts.

"Emmy, what? I...Latin? How?"

"Bianca, when did Allie get that painting?"
