Hey you! :) Thanks for the advice on the time thing, I think that helped the writing alot. You are fantastic and thank you for the continued support babe. I certainly appreciate you all.

And for those who wanted it. I present to you, Derek's Reaction.

Exiting the diner, Derek and I chatted back and forth about odds and ends, We passed by a path that snaked through a park and dissapeared on the other side of a hill. Derek back tracked and nodded his head to the path, I cracked a small giggle at him and jogged to catch up the few steps away he was. We walked side by side for a few minutes before he turned to me, not breaking the pace of our steps.
"So do I even want to ask about the relationship?" he said quizzically, making me raise an eyebrow at him.
"What?" I laughed
"I mean to ask, if you're seeing anyone..?" he blushed a little, making me smile. I never thought I would see Derek Souza blush.
"Well sorta" his turn to raise an eyebrow at me
"I got married a few years back"I said quietly, knowing he would still be able to hear me.
"Oh" was all he said. he stared off to the other side of the park and stopped suddenly. He turned to me and opened his mouth to say something, shut it again, and I suppose he finally made up his mind as what to say.
"Well, he's a really lucky guy. Is he um.. like us?" I shook my head at him, a small relief crossing Derek's face
"nope, Robbi's 100% pure human. and he thinks I am too" I shrugged awkwardly, wishing I could have avoided this whole conversation with Derek.
He repeated the "Oh" from earlier followed with a sigh. He stepped in front of me, a grin suddenly on his face.
"Well, I think that he is not only the luckiest guy ever, but he better treat you right or i will find him" he laughed a little, I cracked a small smile and shrugged. Derek dropped the smile and stepped closer.
"He does treat you right, Chloe?" he asked, reaching out to touch my arm but dropped his hand at the last second.
"Yeah, it's not that he doesn't. It's just, he's never really around that much" I kept my gaze on the sidewalk, wishing to what ever deity was listening that I could get this conversation over with.
"Well, he sure is missing out on one hell of a woman" Derek said, hugging me. I only was surprised for a second before my arms wrapped around him and hugged him back. after a few seconds he pulled back and grinned at me.
"let's go, Ms. Chloe" He said, making me giggle and we started walking again. after a few minutes talking about New York and Sarah, I turned towards him.
"So you've lived in the city this whole time?" I asked as I looped my arm through his, out steps crunching the autumn leaved that scattered over the city park. The sidewalk in front of us had been mostly cleared of leaved, but a few found their way in.
"yeah, I stayed here with Simon originally but i started teaching astrophysics and chemistry at the university two years ago" he said, taking a seat on a bench while i took the seat beside him. He smiled at me and tucked a loose curl behind me ear.
"so what about you?" he asked...

And there it is, sorry I didn't put it in the chapter. I love you guys! I hope you all enjoi it.
