I suck at making these type of chapters but I hope I did a decent job. Watching Queer Eye while writing this is the worst thing to do. So many mixed tears on my laptop keyboard.

"How was the dinner? Did you like it?" Scott asked as he and Mitch made their way back through the flower bushes. 

"It was fantastic. Thank you so much, Alpha. It's very rare we have a nice dinner together." Mitch replied. 

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I can't wait for you to see what else I have planned." Scott grinned and stopped by a bush of yellow roses. He watched as Mitch admired the flowers. "I'll be back love, I'm going to find the restroom."

"Alright. I'll be here." Mitch grinned when Scott kissed his cheek before crutching away. Mitch crouched down to the lower part of the bush and sniffed the roses, grinning before running to the other side where the simple red roses were sitting.

"Is it on correctly?" Scott asked, gripping the sink behind him as Avi slipped on his prosthetic. 

"I'm positive. Walk around, make sure you can do it before you leave." Scott took in a deep breath and pushed himself off the sink. He found his balance and took a few steps to one end of the bathroom, turning around and walking back to Avi. 

"Wow. Mitch is actually going to faint when he sees this. Let's get the suit on and cover that leg for now." Scott let Avi help him put on his suit and he faced the provided full body mirror. He shifted from foot to foot and grinned. 

"I'm sad I couldn't let Mitch see the process. I'm just happy we got it recorded." Scott said, buttoning the suit in the middle. Avi finished fixing the suit around Scott's prosthetic and stood up, grabbing Scott's jacket and taking out the ring box. 

"I've seen the ring. It's beautiful. Your Omega will love it, I know he will." Scott turned to face Avi and he took the ring box and tucked it into the pocket of his suit. 

"Thank you, Avi. For everything, really. I greatly appreciate it." 

"You're a good kid, Scott. I'm sorry that I didn't see that earlier. Who knew it'd take a former Stray to change that for me?" Avi said, chuckling awkwardly. "I wanted you to be a strong Alpha, Scott. Be tough, push away that Savage part of yourself and just be that Alpha I knew you'd be." 

Scott smiled and felt tears spring to his eyes. 

"I know we're not that far apart age wise but it definitely feels like I'm watching my son finally grow up and be a man." 

Scott scoffed playfully. "What? I wasn't a man before this?" 

"You know what I mean, asshole," Avi said, punching Scott's shoulder. Scott chuckled and followed Avi outside the bathroom where his crutches were waiting. 

"You can take these back to the house, I won't be needing them." Scott grabbed the crutches and handed them to Avi who was also carrying his other clothes.

"Positive?"

"Positive." Scott hugged Avi before he left then took in a deep breath. He stuck his hand through his pocket and toyed with the box. He swallowed the lump in his throat and walked forward to find Mitch through the rose bushes. 

It took him a moment of looking but he saw the brunette standing by the red roses, unaware of Scott watching him. Scott took in another deep breath and tried not to cry as he walked forward.

"Mitch... Love?" Scott squeaked. Mitch jumped and turned around, quick to see Scott didn't have his crutches. 

"Alpha, what are you doing? Where are your crutches?" Mitch said quickly, rushing forward and grabbing Scott's waist. Scott grabbed Mitch's arms and let out a shuddered breath before pushing him away a few steps and bending down, his left knee on the ground.
