Star - Picnic Part 1

Star

 It was now our third day here, and we would soon be leaving. I knew that the time here was coming to an end, and that made me sad. I had found so many new family members that seemed to love me and wanted to be around me. I didn't really want to leave them at all, but I had to get home to the children and our life there.

 I was so torn about it all. I wanted to have both of my families together. I didn't want to lose what I had just so recently gained, but I didn't want to leave behind what was back home either. Was it possible to have two places that your heart belonged?

 As I thought about it all, and what to do about my life, someone came by the room that I was staying in with Artem. Artem was in the back so I went to open the door. It seemed he wasn't as surprised as I was to see my father there.

 "Dad?" I smiled at him when he lit up. He liked it when I called him dad.
