Post Finale (#Wattys2016)

Say Goodbye

A/N: Well I hope that the proposal was good. I did my best. Anyways, Here's the story.

Scott: Why do you continue to forget this

Me: Because I don't want to do it.

Scott: She doesn't own anything other than plot

Me: Thanks, Scott

Patch POV:

I watched as Nora got to her feet and walk to the door to open it. The flower guy, aka Scott, was right on time. Nora picked up the bouquet off the floor and it looked like she was reading the note.

As she did all of that, I got into position. I took out the engagement ring out from under the couch pillow. I got down on one knee and opened the case. Nora turned around as soon as I opened the case. She was holding the single red rose in one hand and her other went to her mouth.

She began to tear up and she began to nod her head enthusiastically. She removed her hand before answering, "Yes, of course I'll marry you."

As soon as she said the words I stood up and kissed her. She flung her arms around my neck and mine snaked around her waist. A few moments later, she pulled away, "I love you, Patch"

I took the ring out of the box and placed it on her ring finger. I smiled as I did it too, "I love you too, Angel."

I kissed her again, this time it was hungry. It almost turned into us having to have a war and taking it to the bedroom, but I was unfortunately able to stop it. Nora began to frown until she nodded and understood why we called it short.

She looked down at her stomach and glanced back up at me, "Can you believe it?" I nodded as I placed my hand on her soon to be huge stomach, "We're going to be a family, Patch!"

I could tell she was excited. I also can tell that she had been hoping I was going to pop the question. I know that she'd dreamt of this. Even before all of this. Back when she was in high school; when she first met me. I never thought that my life would be complete. I was going to be a father. I was going to have a wife. I was going to have a family. Ariel was right. I have changed.

Scott POV:

After delivering the flowers to Patch and Nora's hotel room, I decided to visit Vee before she left for the airport. I flew and got to Vee and her new husband's house. I decided to make myself invisible so Vee nor her husband could know I was here. I saw the two of them moving tons of suitcases, until Gavin only had one.

I heard Gavin say to Vee, "Did you have to bring your whole closet?"

Vee scoffed, "That's a quarter of my closet not all of it, thank you very much," As if she sensed my presence, she turned and looked in my direction, "Gavin, honey, I'll meet you in the car. I think I forgot something. Be right back." She nodded at me and opened the door.

As quickly as I could, I walked through her door. She shut it behind me and turned towards me, "Scott? Why did you come here?"

I made myself appear before her. I stared at her and then at my feet, "I came to say goodbye. I also wanted to let you know that as long as you're happy, I'm happy. Vee you're married to what seems to be a wonderful man. I just want you to know that I will protect both you and Nora's child if I have to. But anyways, I just came to say goodbye and have fun on your honeymoon." I turned towards the door preparing to leave when she said my name softly.

"Scott?"

I stood absolutely still. She hesitated before saying, "I never stopped loving you. I thought that you were watching over me in Heaven and that I was making you happy. I can tell that you're upset, Scott."

I half turned towards her, "Vee... I just want you happy... That's all I want... I love you too Vee. Just please don't do something that the old me wouldn't do, okay? That's my only request." I watched her facial expressions as she realized that I was saying goodbye for good.

She reached out for me, "Scott," Her voice was pained as she said my name, "Don't do this... Please... Don't leave me again..." She reached out for me again and placed her hand on my cheek. I leaned into it knowing full well where this was going.

She leaned in too. Once our lips were mere inches apart, Vee whispered, "Kiss me one last time." It was as if those words casted a spell over me. I obliged and bridged the gap that separated. I had intended on this being a peck, but it was so much more. It was as if our bodies knew this dance, and we started kissing more and more. Our breathing becoming haggard and the kisses were frenzied.

She opened her mouth so my tongue could massage her own. And we stood there with our arms around each other with my back against the front door. I knew I had to end this, but I just couldn't. It was like my body wasn't even my own.

Vee broke it off gasping for air. She breathed my name. But, I shook my head. I let go of her and went to walk away and just be on my way. But then I remembered what Vee said before that kiss. Begging for me not to leave her a second time. I don't even think I could do it.

I gave her a hug and said, "I will always be your Guardian Angel. If you need me, just yell. Sure enough I'll hear it. I'm going to be with the Cipriano's waiting for you to return."

The gears in her head began to turn as she realized I pluralized Patch's last name. Her mouth formed an 'O' shaped as she realized that Patch proposed to Nora.

Vee broke the hug off and glanced at her front door, "I don't know if I can do this. Leaving Nora like she is and leaving you. I can't."

I held her hand and put my guardian necklace in her palm, "Wear this at all times and if you need me. If you need me for anything, just say you need me, and I will be there in a flash. I thought that you should have something with you to keep you safe."

Vee nodded and turned the knob of the door. She walked out of the house and I ducked underneath her arm. I sat on the top porch step and watched her get into Gavin's car. She stared at me the whole time, not even daring to look away.

I attempted to mindspeak to her, 'I love you, Vee'

I glanced up at the sky. I watched the clouds take on shapes of different things. A second later I heard in my head, 'I love you too, Scott. Don't forget me'

I looked sharply up to find that the car was gone. I sighed and said the words out loud, "I won't Vee. I promise."

A/N: And there you have it. Chapter 13. I think I'm actually starting to get somewhere. If you have any suggestions and if you want Patch's and Nora's baby to be a girl or boy, please review and vote. If you have a name suggestion too, put that in there too. Thanks, foREVermine5211
