Zelenskyy fell in love, got married and had a daughter. But nobody knew about it. It was his secret to protect.
A war breaks out, how will he navigate through the pitfalls.
Will he and his family survive?
Where does Macron fit in?
Klitschko who?
...
Vova was left alone with Wladimir. He gently pulled himself up. Kissed his head and said " Come on wakevup please, it's Vova. I miss my friend."
Then the machines went blaring again.
"Okay he's flatlining, I need the defib stat." Waiting for the nurse to set up the machine and pass the paddles over before Dr Martins continued. "Charging at 200! Charged! Clear!" He shouted clearly to all in the room. The paddles sending a very brief shock to Wladimir's body, the effect immediately obvious by the rhythmic beeping that came from the heart monitor. The nurses stood around the bed, prodding and probing with all kind of instruments to check that everything was in the normal levels after the second scare he had had since his arrival. ----------------------------------- As Emmanuel and Andrii was walking through Kyiv. Emmanuel noted he was extremely quiet.
"Hey I know the last few days were alot. But I promise it's not like this all the time. We are all worried but I know in my heart they would all be fine." Emmanuel said giving him a reassuring smile.
"How do you know that? How can you even say that? Wladimir died Emmanuel. He died after yelling at me. For being a dick. He was so angry and hurt at what I did that it killed him and you are standing there in your Armani suit and telling me it will be ok? Even though it is your daughter I had hurt the most" Andrii said with a aggressive tone.
" Yes, yes I can say it for sure you know why Andrii? Because even though both Klitschko brothers are older than me, Vova is not even a month younger than me. I consider them my sons, my family. Jorji see the Klitschko's as her older brothers. She is extremely close to Wladimir. They talk about everything. And I literally mean every single thing. So of course he freaked out about what happened and spun out. So what he gets to have his feelings. It did not harm anyone but himself. I would have preferred him talking to me but... I respect that he didn't want to. And besides Wladimir will not die, he know better. Jorji will not be having that. Just wait and see. As soon as Vova moves him in with them he will get much better. Once you see them together you will understand. Trust me I know these things. " Emmanuel told him.
" If you say so. Guess we will see. Weird question but why do you kiss them so much? " Andrii asked
" Because I am French and I don't think they mind much. Actually Vova loves it. He told me he wish someone did that for him when he was a little bit younger. The first time I kissed Wladimir on the head he was asleep. It sort of came naturally. He was watching a movie with Jorji and they fell asleep. I kissed Jorji good night like I did every night and just kissed him nite as well. And it naturally spewed over to Vitali after the war. There is no explanation really that makes sense. Other than it's a way of saying I am here and I love you. According to my wife I am a nurturer and thats why. My character flaw I guess you can say. " Manu said with a smile.
" You sound like you have a really good relationship with your daughter. " Andriu remarked
" I do, both Bridget and I are really close to her. We are very proud of her and what she has accomplished. We love her dearly. She's our pride and joy." Emmanuel answered honestly.
" It must have been bad then that she married Vlodymyr, I mean being the president and then the war and stuff. " Andrii said before taking another fry.
" Well no we never dictate to her what she can and can not do. Who she was allowed to date and who not. She has never made us doupt her choices. We will guide and offer advice but not force anything. And besides we knew there were a sperk the first time they met. I guess it sounds cliché but I believe that it was love at first sight for them, just like for me and Bridget. " Emmanuel answered.
" Where is your wife anyways I haven't seen her around here" Andrii said taking a sip of his milkshake.
"She is at home, our daughter has school and our son has a ear infection so he can't fly." Emmanuel answered.
"School? You have younger children than Jorja?" Andrii said schocked.
"Yes, our daughter Sky is 8 years old and our son Michel is 7 months old."

Emmanuel proudly said showing him the pictures on his phone.
"Wow, Sky looks just like you. Why did you name her Sky though" Andrii laughed.
"I didn't her name is actually Skylar but she called herself Sky as a baby so it stuck." Emmanuel laughed before finishing his coffee.
"We have to get back before Vova send out a video asking if anyone has seen us." Emmanuel joked.
"I guess yes. He would not would he? " Andrii said
"We can test my theory another time, what do you say? You game? " Emmanuel said with a laugh.
Andrii nodded he would like that. --------------------------------- "Hey." I call , when they roll Wladimir into the room.
"How is he?" I asks as soon as Vova enter the room.
"He's... In a rough shape right now." He tells me, he looks at Wladimir and lays a gentle hand on his back. "He needs you. He needs to know you don't blame Him."
"What? Of course I don't blame him!" I respond defensively.
" I know that." He responds calmly, unfazed by my small outburst. "But he blames herself. He feels like if he had been more careful it wouldn't have happened. He believes that he's failed not only us but Vitali, your mom and dad and the kids. He hates herself for this. He'll need a lot of support if he's going to recover. Same basically goes for Vitali. "
"Did they say that?" I ask quietly, my voice breaking along with my heart.
"Not those words exactly, but just trust me. They'll need all the help and love we can spare." Vova said sadly.
"Vova?"
"Can you give him a kiss from me. And tell him I love him and don't blame him? Please? " I ask tears threatening to spill.
