The next day, Sky and Star actually had the house to themselves again, for the first time since going back to school for the new year. However, both were more than just a little upset that day. The same question kept playing through their heads since the previous evening: Was it possible that their quest for answers could have actually had something to do with what happened at the school that very same night? They had to consider the possibility, but considering it meant having to let in even more guilt than what had already been crushing them each for months.
When Star finally forced her feet to carry her out of her room about an hour or so after their parents had left, Sky poked his head out of his own room at the sound of her footsteps.
“Did you try calling the doctor’s office yet?” he greeted her warily.
Star sighed slightly, eyes down as usual, “I apparently have to check the number and try again” she said sarcastically.
“Yeah that’s what I keep getting too” Sky replied with a matching sigh.
Star just shook her head with further sadness, “did you need the bathroom?′ she attempted to move forward in their day.
“No, go ahead” he returned, averting his eyes again as he headed back into his room.
It wasn’t too many minutes later that Sky decided he should at least attempt to eat something that day. So he emerged from his room once more and started toward the stairs. Though, as he passed the still closed bathroom door, he could hear Star sobbing again, muffled though it was by the sound of the shower.
He took a deep breath, pondering his choices. As much as she insisted that she had to ‘hold on,’ despite everything else, Sky was not sure how much longer that would continue to be true, for either of them. It was obvious that the answers they desperately needed were not going to come to them any time soon. And when they tried to get those answers, people seemed to be dying or disappearing before they could provide them. And that was a new layer of guilt that he wasn’t sure even Star could bear too much longer.
As terrified as he was to open himself up to the other feelings that had given them so much guilt in recent months, his desperation to make sure he didn’t actually lose her, the way she almost lost him, did give him even more terror. On that thought, he bravely pushed the bathroom door open and stepped inside.
Star startled a bit as she heard the door and forced herself to open the shower stall just a crack. Sky’s eyes came up to meet hers again as he whispered, “are you going to be ok?”
“Are either of us ever going to be ok?” was her only response, the water dripping from her long wet locks and mixing with her tears upon her cheeks.
Seeing her sorrow broke his heart as always, and forced him to action. Sky stepped forward, pushed the stall door open, and pulled her wet, nude body against his as his lips covered hers again, for the first time in over four long months.
When the kiss finally ended, he still held her against him, her trembling body soaking his clothing. Star looked up at him for a long moment, “but we can’t...remember?” she whispered with another stifled sob against where he still held her.
“I don’t care” he breathed his answer, “I’d rather regret giving in to these feelings, regret it horribly if need be, than to spend the rest of my life trying to fight it.”
And with that, he stepped back only long enough to begin pulling away his now thoroughly drenched clothing, dropping it to the bathroom floor next to where her own had been left. Once his body was just as bare as hers, he stepped up into the shower with her, pulling her against where his arousal was already apparent, and began kissing her once more as the water poured over them both now.
After several long kisses as they clung desperately to one another under that warm stream of water, Star finally had to speak once more, “are we still never gonna break our one rule?” she whispered.
Sky’s breath caught a long moment, but then he simply nodded, moved back from her, and reached out of the stall again to lift his pants from the floor. Star looked at him warily for a moment before she saw him pulling a condom from his pocket.
“Sky...” she nearly choked his name, her eyes widening as he stood and began ripping it open.
He breathed deeply as he looked back at her, “technically, we’re not breaking our one rule if I use this” he whispered as he slid it over his erection.
“But...”
“You said I was the only guy you could ever share this with, didn’t you?” he told her as he moved close to her again.

Star could barely breathe then herself as she could only nod her confirmation of the statement. With that, he moved to lift her to a place where he could brace her back against the shower wall, as she then moved to wrap her legs around his waist. Stepping closer to her yet, his hardness just barely touching her then.
“Last chance to turn back now” he choked the words as he looked into her eyes.
“I don’t think I can” she whispered back.
With that he moved, slowly as he could to gently ease himself inside her as she gasped at the contact. With another deep breath, he completed the connection, pushing himself even more deeply inside her as her nails dug into his shoulders with a loud gasp of pain as they felt that barrier inside her give way, the water washing away the blood from her thighs as she attempted to endure that momentary pain; before it then made way for all that intense pleasure awaiting them at having at last given in to making that final connection.
As Sky made love to Star, they were so lost in each other, that they barely noticed everything happening around them. The room had gone dark as every light in the house burnt out once their pleasure began overtaking them. At the same time, the shower had gurgled above them as every pipe in the house burst in unison, flooding water throughout both bathrooms and the kitchen. Outside, the sky darkened to pitch black despite no eclipse being forecast; and it had remained that way until the two teens were finally spent. They then collapsed to the shower floor in each other’s still shaking arms, still reeling from the pleasure they had just given into giving each other, at last.
When their bodies calmed, their heartbeats and breathing returning to normal, was when they finally rose from the shower stall and took in the state their home was in now. “God...”they both breathed the word as they stepped out into the water that was now covering the entire bathroom floor, making it’s way toward the hallway outside as well.
They warily grabbed for nearby towels as they tried to traverse the flooded bathroom and step out into the hall once more. “Lights are gone now too” Sky swallowed as he noted that fact.
“And wasn’t it morning?” she whispered as she glanced toward the hall window where the sun was just now beginning to lighten the sky once more.
“So we literally short-circuited and simultaneously flooded the entire house? Oh yeah, and also apparently blotted out the sun?” Sky summarized, not believing his own words as he spoke them through still ragged breaths.
Star was quiet a long moment as the two just moved around the house, taking in the damage, and going even paler as they imagined how they would ever explain this all to their parents. She then finally looked up at him, as they slowly made their way through the still flowing water and up the stairs again in the darkened home.
“Maybe we really shouldn’t be here when mom and dad get home” she stated, her remaining shock from the aftermath of their lovemaking, still obvious in her voice.
Sky simply nodded his agreement as they moved to their rooms to dress and find somewhere, anywhere else to be when Brie and Connor came home to that scene.
----------------------------------------
When Connor and Brie did arrive home from work that afternoon, they were more than a little floored by the state they found the house in. The two looked at one another in shock before moving through the flooded, unlit home, trying to piece together what exactly had taken place there that day.
After several moments of moving through the house in shock, it was obvious that their children were nowhere on the premises, but that was the least of their worries right then. “Connor come here!” Brie called to him from upstairs after the first several moments of the two moving carefully about the house, taking in the damage.
Moving carefully up the stairs, he found Brie in the bathroom, stooping in the doorway, looking more than just a little upset right then. “What?” he had to ask as he stopped at the top of the stairs.
She then turned back to him, a soaked pile of black clothing in her hands, “do you see this?” she asked him with a raspy breath.
“Wet clothes, in a flooded bathroom” he shook his head, “am I missing something?”
Brie shook her head back at him, “they keep all their clothes in their rooms. Why would they be on the floor of the bathroom?”
“Bigger problems, Brie” he scoffed as he began searching for numbers in his phone.
“Connor, these clothes, they belong to Sky and Star both” she continued with further apprehension.
“Still not getting whatever point you’re trying to make about our kids’ clothes being in our kids’ bathroom” he stated, continuing to distractedly search phone numbers.
Brie just shook her head, only to then feel her heart race in fear as she noted the empty condom wrapper floating in the corner of the room, “is that what I think it is?” she breathed as she moved to retrieve the wrapper, her breath catching again.
When he glanced over at her, Connor did take pause himself when he saw the wrapper. “So, I’m guessing we now know if they’re bringing other kids to the house when we’re not around. Fucking figures” he mumbled angrily before returning to his phone.
Brie scoffed again, “not mentioning that they are only fourteen” she began, “you really think that it’s some other kid that they brought home to use this with?” she dared to ask the question aloud.
“Well obviously at least one of them is having sex with someone” Connor replied, trying to swallow his anger as he continued with the phone.
“When neither of them even have a single friend between them?” she argued.
“Well I seriously doubt that the fourteen year old in question really wants us to meet whoever it is they’re doing that with” Connor continued.
“Look at the fucking house, Connor!” she raised her voice and stood, “these are the clothes, of both of our children, in the bathroom, next to an empty condom wrapper....one day after having their science teacher test their blood....and may I repeat, look at the fucking house!” she added more angrily.
Connor thought a moment, his breath catching as he took in what she was trying to tell him, “So, you seriously think that...” he just shook his head.
“Connor, he tried to kill himself when we offered him proof that they really were brother and sister. They take blood tests and the next day, the house is almost destroyed after someone was having sex in it? I don’t know how much clearer I can make my point” she whispered.
“So are we officially saying we think they’ve...combined?” he swallowed the word.
“Isn’t it what they’ve been trying to do since the day we created them?”
