Champ entered Chris and Street's room while they were asleep in bed and went over to lick Chris' face. Chris smiled and petted her dog.

Street inched closer to Chris and asked, "Hey, any kisses for me?"

Chris turned away from Champ and whispered, "Always," and then kissed Street for a moment.

"You know, I still haven't given you your wedding present," Street said.

"We've been married for like a month, and you didn't have to get me anything," Chris replied.

Street stroked her cheek with his thumb. "It's really small," he promised.

"Well, I have a little present for you that I guess can count as your wedding gift, even though I think me being your wife is the real present," Chris joked.

"Having my dream girl as my wife is the greatest gift I could ever ask for," Street replied and kissed her again.

Champ jumped onto the bed.

"Dude? Seriously?" Street said to the dog.

Chris couldn't stop laughing and pet Champ.

"He just wants to give me some love, too," Chris said defensively.

"I don't blame him," Street replied and pet Champ.

Street, Luca, and Deacon were standing in eagle's nest.

"Luca, can I come by your place and grab Chris' present?" Street asked.

"Present? It's not Chris' birthday," Deacon said.

"No, it's her wedding present," Street explained.

"Wait...I thought I already gave it to you! I don't think it's at my house!" Luca replied in a concerned tone.

"You lost it?" Street asked.

"I'm so confused. Why are you giving Chris a wedding present now?" Deacon inquired.

"He couldn't get it in time for the wedding, since they weren't even engaged for a week. I picked it up from the jewelry store for him while he was on his honeymoon," Luca answered.

"And let me guess, Chris already gave you your wedding present, and it's perfect?" Deacon asked.

"She hasn't given it to me yet, but whatever it is, I'm sure I'll love it. I can't let her down! I can't believe you lost it!" Street started getting upset.

"I'll help you find it, man!" Luca promised.

Chris walked into the locker room with Tan. "Your left hook has definitely improved, Tan!" Chris mused.

"Thanks," Tan replied brightly, then he looked at the locker room- all of Street's things were all over the floor. "What is going on here?," he asked.

"Nothing! We're just...cleaning," Street replied awkwardly trying to stand in front of the mess.

"You do realize that things should like TIDIER when you clean, right?" Tan asked.

"Yeah, he's a messy lost cause," Chris replied looking at everything on the floor.

"Hey!" Street exclaimed!

"But, you're my messy lost cause," Chris mused and kissed him on the cheek.

Street smiled.

"I expect you to have this all picked up before you roll out...I need to get back to work," Chris declared and squeezed Street's hand before exiting the locker room.
