Love these two together. More please. Perhaps Amy is jealous and wants some of what Stephanie is getting.
The ending saved this chapter. I felt like all the affection was fading away with Stephanie at school and her hooking up with other guys....
Where is the rest of the story? Surely it can't end like that. It's an unfinished story.
Not stepson actually, because they are separated now. There are also no laws in place saying step-siblings can't legally marry or get together, like there are for actual siblings. So, there you have it. Being with your ex-step sibling isn't entirely taboo — especially if the family aspect of the relationship is as insignificant as Cher and Josh's. What happens to a step-sibling relationship after their parent's divorce is whatever the step-siblings want to happen. If they've grown close and bonded, the relationship should continue. They will just now be independent of their parents. There are no hard and fast rules here.
Anonymous91 is not entirely correct. While it is legal for step siblings to date and even marry, there is one caveat. If either stepparent adopts the others step child/children in the course of the marriage, even if they divorce after the fact, the law now considers them to be fully siblings and they can no longer legally date or marry.
But legal speak doesn't touch on how the effected families may feel about them being a couple. They may still have to face (or not) an amount of backlash from their relationship decision. And even if not they could always just move to a state like Delaware or New Jersey which are known for, as long as it it between consenting adults, ignoring related couples who decide to cohabitate romantically, even full siblings.
Like the story so far. Keep up the good work.
(1/2/2024) Well now, we have a lawyer in our midst. While I can not disagree with anything in the comment by Falstaff60 below. Why spoil the fun? They’re steps. A solution will be found adoption or not. Love will win the day. Five stars again.
