(A/N: Hey everyone, quick note as I'm off to bed now, I've been spending this weekend writing another chapter, some big things are coming up! It's been a crazy time, a crazy week for me, my country, UK, being on almost lockdown, but I am a key-worker so this lockdown stuff doesn't really apply to me, I still have to go out to work in the week. I hope you guys are having fun, if you're in isolation then just hang in there, all this craziness will hopefully die down soon! Just stay home, stay safe! Enjoy this chapter and I'll be back next weekend to update again, hopefully a bit earlier, UK clocks went forward so it's now 9:30pm, and my brain is thinking it should be 8:30pm instead, yeah, fun.. anyway, laters!)

Addison's POV

"Well? Are you going to answer? Are you guys having a baby?" Derek asks, again, more demanding for an answer. Stefan stands up to face his Dad properly.

"Yes Dad, sorry, you weren't supposed to find out like this" Stefan sighs as he rubs his cheek in disbelief of how we've just accidentally told Derek.

"When was I going to find out? How far along are you guys? Do the others know yet?" Derek asks, question after question.

"We've been trying to find the time since you got here this morning to tell you, but then there was the whole thing of your new wife, and then Maisie, we just haven't been able to tell you all day" Stefan answers.

"I'm around 13 weeks now, it's still kinda early days, I'm hardly showing yet" I answer.

"Well obviously, if you were showing then we'd have noticed this morning about this" Georgia says, sounding a little rude.

"Please, do not speak to my wife like that" Stefan says. Always protective of me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound that way, this is just a bit of a shock" Georgia says. Believe me, it was a shock to me when I, we, found out too.

"Who else knows? I'm assuming people are aware, seeing as you are past the 12 weeks mark" Derek questions.

"We had a get together at ours, the Sunday before coming here, we announced it to everyone then, you would have known too, if you were there and not away getting hitched" Stefan says, sounding a little irritated at the last part.

"I don't even need to ask if your Mother was there because I know she would have been, and you know that we can't stand the sight of each other anymore, but mentioning it to me over the phone or something wouldn't have been so bad" Derek says.

"We wanted to tell as many as we could, face-to-face, Derek, I'm sorry, we didn't mean for you to find out this way, or have this reaction" I say, feeling rather guilty.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I am delighted that you two are finally having a child of your own, I'm just saying that you could have called me to tell me, rather than me finding out like this" He says.

"It still gets me how you and Mum were together for all that time, and then suddenly you can't be in the same place together" Stefan says, as he thinks about how his parents separated. I realise just now that we're all sitting down, it's funny how you can watch things happen, but it doesn't quite register until later on, if at all.

"Stefan, it's for the best of everybody that you don't know our reasons" Derek reminds me.

"Oh, I don't really wanna know what happened between you both, it's been long enough now, I just, wonder sometimes, even now, after all this time" He says.

"Have you thought of any names yet?" Georgia asks, changing the subject slightly, to a nicer, calmer one at least.

"No, not yet, we don't know what we're having" I answer as I rub my little bump.
