In My Daughter's Eyes

Stay? Go? Runaway?

As soon as Artem saw her he ran as fast as he could and when she reached him she broke down in tears. She said "I just want to protect the family." He said "shhhh baby, it's ok. We'll get through all of this together."

Leaving the airport was also not fun. Some paparazzis had swarmed where ever they went.

"Hey, Hey! Leave us alone!" Artem exclaimed as he lead Sharna to the car. The camera flashes were blinding and the constant muttering of the photographers was deafening.

They subsided for a moment, but started their cycle of camera flashes as the couple pulled from the lot.

"Listen, Babe," Artem began, reaching for Sharna's hand. He intertwined his fingers with hers. "Peta called me earlier and told me everything. She said you couldn't even hold a conversation with Val, and he's like your best friend! I'm worried about you, Princess."

"I don't want to do this anymore." Sharna mumbled.

"Do what?"

"This! I don't want to do this anymore! I don't want our children to grow up like this!"

"What are you suggesting, Sharna May?"

"I'm suggesting that...I don't know." Tears filled her eyes once more. "I don't know because they'll follow us anywhere."

"Sharna, Love, you need some sleep before we finish discussing this." His hand went to her leg. "We'll go back to your mom's home, and we can nap for a bit, then discuss this." He gave her a kiss as they pulled into the driveway.

"Baby..." Mrs. Burgess whispered as she saw Sharna's expression. Sharna walked into her arms.

"I'm okay, Mum." Sharna hugged her tighter.

The hug broke and Artem suggested that they both take a nap for a bit. Not having any energy to climb the stairs, Sharna and Artem decided to crash on the sofa in the home.

"We'll get through this." Artem whispered.
