"Did you find Derek? What happened to him? Where is he?" Rita asked Jude as he came home with Scott and Stiles following behind. Jude shushed her as he snuck the two boys into his room. She followed them and closed the door.

"Does she not know that Derek is grown?" Stiles asked.

"Derek's fifteen." Rita said. The boys looked at each other and began to explain that Derek is actually a grown man that just got turned into a kid for a little while until they changed him back. She became grossed out for a minute after finding that she claimed a grown ass man named Derek as one of her many 'seeds'.

"Well is the De- Mr. Derek okay?" Rita asked.

"Yes. I'm alright." Derek said, climbing through Jude's window. Rita looked at him, eyes wide and got closer to Jude.

"He really is a grown ass man." Rita whispered. Derek chuckled at the girl.

"The boys have told me a lot about you, Rita." Derek said, giving her a small smile.

"Oh, so you're all nice to her but you're mean to me?" Stiles questioned, crossing his arms.

"She's not annoying- and she called me Mr. Derek, it's cute." Derek shrugged.

"Who even are you?" Stiles asked, narrowing his eyes at him.

"It was nice to meet you, Mr. Derek, but I'm going to go now, it's a school night and all." Rita said, politely. Derek nodded and they watched as she good night to her brother and was about to walk out.

"Rita." Scott said, meeting with her at the door. She was still a little hurt that he didn't mention her so she wasn't as affectionate to him.

"Yeah?" She replied, looking up at him. Scott looked at the others and they looked away, pretending to mind their own business.

"Are you mad at me?" Scott asked.

"No- I'm just a little hurt that you haven't mentioned me to your parents." Rita said, feeling dumb about why she was upset.

"Have you mentioned me to your parents?" Scott asked.

"She has. Twice. That's two times more than she's ever mentioned anyone else from school- not even Isaac." Jude said, crossing his arms. Scott looked at her, surprised to hear that she's mentioned him to her parents.

"I-I didn't know you wanted to mention us to our parents." Scott said.

"I just thought it would be an unspoken agreement- but it's fine. I'm just being dumb." Rita said.

"What you feel isn't dumb, Rita." Scott said, stepping closer to her. She glanced at the three boys that were looking at them, extremely entertained.

"Alright, alright. I've got to go. Good night." Rita said, giving him a smile.

"Good night." Scott said back. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and swiftly went out the room and rushed to hers.

"Is that my baby boy? My seed? My Dunbear?!" Rita called out rushing to hug Liam.

"Rita." Liam grumbled as the kids around him laughed. Rita glared at all of them, shutting them up.

"Do you have friends already? It's okay if you don't." Rita said, fixing Liam's shirt and hair.

"I know some kids from middle school. Like Mason." Liam said, motioning to the boy looking at the older girl.

"Hi, Mason." Rita smiled.

"You're makeup is gorgeous. You're an actual legend to me." Mason said. Rita laughed and patted his shoulder.
