Hoping

ikr, even though they're only 2 years apart it's still super awkward and weird and wrong and all of that

Not exacrly wrong but just not right, at all is only natural to have feeling for someone who is NONE related to you. Is also reasonable that he himself cant see her as mother I mean I would they are close to age.but I feel like he calls her mother due to respect and for the children. BUTT he will know eventually and accept (hopefully) that she belong to his father and should respect his father at the very least in that aspect
