Shaking her head, Celeste leaned against her father and closed her eyes.  She knew this would be the end of the closeness they shared.  That once Carlie came into the picture, she would have to share and that Carlie would demand to have her time.<br/><br/>"It's okay, daddy, really."<br/><br/>She couldn't say anything more and just lay against him, soaking up the affection now and storing it away for her memories.  She would always do what needed done to save her family, no matter what the cost to herself.
