eternity itself..

Talis Cortes was born on a monday morning, and he was a healthy little boy. Sienna and Sam were happier than ever, but their fear lashed with every day that passed. One evening finally, Briana and Samuel got to talk and he told her everything that has been happening and after she asked, if Talis was the child he conceived with his sister, he affirmed. No one could have known, that at this moment something inside Briana broke. Her children were throwing away their lives, and the grandson she and her husband came to love so much, was the result of their sin. She couldn't help blaming herself, and still promised her children, she would not tell their father anything, but that he would probably already know.

As Talis grew bigger, he took extremely after his father, but had the eyes of his mother. He was the little mirror image of his daddy, Sienna adored him all the more because of that. She found their love's immortality in her child, and she couldn't help but wish for more children..

Diego noticed, of course he did. Not only the similiarities between Talis and Sam, but his children's tender relationship and the look Sam had on his face when he was with Talis, but the fact that Talis had called Samuel "daddy" was more than enough. But he didn't say a word. Even if he would have wanted to say something, he was too devastated to face this kind of situation.

Time passed pretty quickly, and things seemed to be normal. Even as Sienna confirmed her second pregnancy, Diego didn't dare to ask who the father was. The atmosphere in the house was more than tense, but Diego seemed too busy with his work at the army, that there was practitcally no opportunity to solve things out. Sienna and Sam were still in their teens, and a second pregnancy only hardened school life for both of them.

They still had to hide their love, but since their parents weren't often at home anymore, life became easier, more normal, as it should have been from the start. Their second son, Tristan Cortes, was born during this, almost carefree time.

Until one night, they had been more careless than usual, and have been longing for each other already all day, and as the twins were kissing in the living room, their parents came home. The secret was oficially out, Briana seemed to have a breakdown, but Diego simply told Sam, he'd want to talk to him outside.

Samuel expected rage and anger, but Diego was more than exploding.
"Is this what I have been teaching you about family life?" he cried out, and nothing than charges and suits were to follow. But even Diego knew, that separating the two of them now would not help, and his grandchildren would need both parents, so he simply said, he didn't want them to sleep together anymore, and he forbid them to have any sexual or romantical contact, otherwise he swore, he'd turn Samuel over to the police department, for incest was strictly forbidden.

Sienna and Sam had to end their bond. They didn't want to be separated, so they sacrificed their hearts. Yes, it was true what their father had said, incest was forbidden. It was wrong. They stopped sleeping in the same bed, neither did they touch or talk anymore. It was too painful. All they could do, was long for each other, long for what was forbidden. The last thing Sienna said to Sam, before they decided to end it, was "Our love was not made for this world. Neither was it made for this life. Our love is eternity itself. I cannot extinguish it, and neither do I wish to do so. But I know that it does not die, just because we can't live it."
