the seal..

Sienna didn't say a word about what she knew, but everyone noticed that she suddenly seemed happier than before. Talis was growing up fastly, and he had just started going to high school, when Sienna's pregnancy was showing off slightly (on the picture it's Talis and Tristan.)

Everyone wondered about Sienna, but she seemed happy and no one wanted to make her miserable again, so they didn't ask her about anything. Diego was still trying to think positively, he was truly trying to convince himself that she'd found a new love, and that the child was not Samuel's. He didn't know much about her private life, since she never really talked to him. So he wanted to ask her straight out, what was going on, and who the father was. He knew, if she told him it was Sam, that they'd been seeing each other even after he forbid them this relationship.

The "showdown" took place in the children's room, it was pure coincidence: Talis was playing chess again, that boy was a true genius, and Sam had just wanted to bring Tristan to bed. Sienna has been watching Sam and Tristan play before. Then Diego came in.
"Sienna, you have truly no right to keep things from us any longer."
"What do you mean, father?"
She was feeling only despite for her father, she could not help but hate him for what he did to them. She was convinced that he destroyed their love, she fully blamed him on how Sam was reacting the morning after their reunion, and that he rarely looked her in the eye since. She blamed him for the pain, the grief and the despair.
"Why should I tell you who the father is? What does it mean to you, anyhow. You hate me. You hate us, me and my children. And this, I will neither forgive nor forget, ever."
"It's him. I can't believe you lied to me. Both of you!"
"I can't believe you made me lie to you!"
Diego smiled bitterly. This man seemed broken.
"This family is cursed. And you will burn in hell, that's for sure." There came no more reaction from him, and he left the room. Sienna didn't know what to do, but she was as confident as ever. She loved her children, and she would not let anyone harm them. She was kind of relieved that her father knew the truth now, the only thing she feared was Samuel. She hadn't told him it was his child she was bearing, and she didn't know what to expect when he finds out.

She gave birth to her and Sam's third son Théo three days later. It seemed tradition, that the names of their children began with "T", so they had decided after the birth of Tristan, because their names started with the same letter as well. Not only this had made Sam realize it was his son. He had of course heard the conversation between his sister and his father the other day, and he still haven't talked to Sienna about the child really being his son yet. He thought she'd found a new love, he knew he should have been happy for her at that moment, he knew he should have wished for her to have a normal life, like she deserved it. But inside, he felt lost and broken, and suddenly wished for nothing more than to go back in time to that infamous morning, and tell her that it was not a mistake, that he loved her and wanted this. So the news he heard that day, that it was indeed his child, made him realize, that he could not reject Sienna anymore, and that he should not even want to, for it made even their children feel guilty and unhappy.

"Sienna, wait. We have to talk about this."
She smiled, and came closer to him. "He's yours, Sammy. I thought you knew."
"I believed you found someone else. Someone who could love you like you deserve it."
"I cannot love another man the way I love you, Samuel. Don't ever forget this again."
"Sienna, I don't want to stay away from you anymore."
"Then don't."
"But you know what that means.."
"It means we love each other. And that only."
And they sealed it with a kiss.
