Christmas morning was as tense as ever.

Alden and Sebastian weren't speaking and the kids all noticed. It upset them.

Armani, although overjoyed that she got several clothes, money, shoes, and jewelry, what she really wanted was to see her Dad hold her mom close, kiss her on the lips, and tell her how much he loved her.

But Seby was sitting on one side, a weak smile on his face, and her mom doing the same.

Seby got up and grabbed a box, "Can you give us a moment?" And the twins and girl went upstairs to put their gifts away.

"Baby. I know there will be nothing to make up for what I did. But if you'll accept this ring, this ring to replace your other wedding ring... it would mean the world to me. "He even got down on one knee, and flicked out the ring.

"Sebastian..."Alden sighed, looking at the ring.

"Baby, I am so sorry. Please, can we move forward?" Sebastian looked at his wife hopelessly. "The deal is off now. I can't take back what I did but at least our sons won't suffer.

"Why didn't you tell me? I thought we were past all that. All that from our past... " Alden crossed her arms.

"I couldn't bring myself to tell you. I was ashamed. " Sebastian rubbed her leg, the ring being set down. "I'm sorry. "

The twins were upstairs getting their clothes together for the day.

"Mano... I think dad cheated on ma. " Chris turned to his twin and sighed, "I think they might divorce. "

"I would. If my wife ever cheated on me, I would divorce her so quick, you'd think we were never married. " Santi spoke.

"Why would you say that?" Chris scoffed. "I don't want to be a split household. It's awkward. And really stressful. "

"Sensitive wussy. " He mumbled.

"You know what? Fuck you Santiago.  You always so quick to drop someone after Genevieve. Let her go. Kimmessi is like in love with you and you're still hung up on this French fry cheating on you two years ago. " Chris shoved Santi and stormed off.

Santiago stared at his twin as he left, letting the words process.

"I forgive you but... we have to work on this." Alden gave in, replacing her old wedding ring for the newer and and more dazzling one.

Sebastian kissed his wife's lips and pulled her in for a hug.

"I'm so sorry babygirl. " Sebastian muttered in his wife's shoulder.

The tender moment was cut short by Chris storming downstairs. "I'm going to Sofia's place. " He mumbled.

"Wait Chris-" The twin came downstairs and caught up with the other.

"What in the fuck could you want now? God, I wish we were never related. How could you be so inconsiderate over one heartbreak?" Chris yelled.

"Fuck, Chris. You don't even get it. You would never get it. I was in love with her. You'd never understand that amount of hurt. And leave Kimmessi out of this cause we both know how you felt about her on our last birthday. " Santi yelled back.

Sebastian stood and broke the two apart, Chris yelling back one final, "I hate you Santiago. I fucking hate you. "

Sebastian finally moved the distressed teen away, hot tears down the teen's face and him fighting to try and hit his brother.

"Santia-" Alden started.

"I'm going out. " Santiago whispered.

Alden stopped him, pulling him into a hug as the teen broke down.

Sebastian tried to calm his son down. "Christian you have t-"

"No pops. He needs his insensitive ass kicked. Move dammit. " Chris tried to shove past his dad being shoved back.

"Calm down. Tell me what happened. Cause whatever it was, you both are very upset. " Sebastian spoke calmly, waiting for his son to calm down.

Chris took a few deep breaths and then told his dad the problem.
