Having a baby alone was hard, especially while grieving the loss of a husband.
Mitch was scared he'd screw everything up. He was scared this child would be angry because they never knew Scott.
When he got home from the hospital he laid on his bed with Scarlet, telling her stories about how he met Scott, their first date, their first kiss, their wedding. The fights he regrets, the inside jokes, everything.
When Scarlet was a year old, Kevin got home and came to check on them. He helped Mitch with anything he needed and gave him his number for emergencies and if he wanted someone to talk to. He explained he'd be loving with Tori, Kirstie, and Avi about an hour away and all it took was a phone call before they would come as fast as possible.
Scarlet enjoyed spending time with "uncle Kevin, uncle Avi, aunt Kirstie, and aunt Tori" on the weekends, being told stories of how brave and heroic her father was.
She grew up wanting to know more and more about Scott, as much as she possibly could. And Mitch loved telling her stories. He wanted her to love Scott and know he would have loved her with all his heart if he were still around.
