(A/N: Hello all, I hope you're all keeping safe and are well, with all of the virus going around! If you are in quarantine, then perhaps this chapter will bring a few minutes entertainment for you, I unfortunately am not in quarantine, I say unfortunately, I don't mean it as I wish I had the virus or anything, I hope that I don't get it, but many people are self-isolating and in the UK we are being told to stay at home, but due to it not being a lockdown, I am still having to work, and I wouldn't actually mind having to take time off to stay at home, I could focus more on my writing.. on the note of writing, I haven't had much time this month to write much at all, so I am quickly catching up with myself, so I may get to a point where I have to stop posting for a couple of weeks or so because I won't have any chapters complete to post.. I do hope you enjoy this chapter, I personally do really like it and I hope you do too! Stay happy, and safe, and HEALTHY! Be back next week, laters!)

Stefan and I stand in silence, not knowing how to react, what to say. New wife? When? Where? How? What? Derek has remarried? She's so young, I mean, she looks young enough to be Stefan's sister.

"Well, son, say something" Derek says, breaking the silence as he holds Georgia with an arm around her waist. I look over at Stefan as the bottom of his jaw bounces a little as he struggles to speak. His facial expression turns confused and maybe a little concerned too. You can tell he has a million thoughts going through his head right now.

"Dad, I...." He attempts to talk but is still lost for words.

"Well, say hello to your new Step-Mother" Derek says happily, grinning from ear to ear.

"Uh, I.. err, hello" Stefan manages to say. He is still so baffled.

"It's so nice to meet you, Stefan, I've heard so much about you, especially after doing a bit of my own research, if you know what I mean" She says so innocently. Her own research, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what she means, teacher and student relationship.

"Thanks, err, I think" Stefan says still trying to figure out if this is real, yes Stefan, it is very real.

"Isn't she just so sweet" Derek says as he puts a kiss to Georgia's cheek.

"Yeah, um, Dad, could we have a word with you for a moment, alone, please?" Stefan asks seriously.

"Err, sure, son" Derek says, frowning slightly. He lets go of Georgia and follows us to the kitchen. "Stefan talk to me, you're starting to freak me out now mate" Derek says. Freak you out?

"I'm starting to freak you out? Dad, you just introduced me to someone, telling me, or rather us, that she's your wife" Stefan says trying not to yell for Georgia to hear. "I'm the one who is a little freaked out right now" He says. Derek looks at us both, maybe I should just stay quiet, I have to say, I'm with Stefan on this one.

"You're freaked out by us?" Derek questions confused.

"Just a tad, Dad" He answers sarcastically as he shows his index and thumb with a small gap. "Just a tad" He repeats. She looks so young, like she's around her late 30s or early 40s.

"Not to seem rude or anything, but, how old is she?" I ask.

"Just turned 40" He answers. I'm stunned, she's only just 40?! She's young enough to be his daughter, Stefan's sister.

"This cannot be real, it can't be real" Stefan says as he chuckles in disbelief. He paces around the kitchen a little as he tries to get his head around this.

"Hey, it's no different to you and Addison" Derek says in his, or their defence. Stefan stops and comes back over to us.

"You and that lady are nothing like me and Addison, Dad" He says to him, a little annoyed.
