Volkov was your new stepdad, all fine and okay until your mother got into a car crash and unfortunately passed away. He was unfortunately in depression because he loved her so much, and he needed time to move on, and when he did, he wanted to ask you on a fake-date with him. You were his stepdaughter, you were 19, and 6 months pregnant with a healthy and well baby, making the family more better at the new family member after the crash
