Probably nobody reads the story but I looooove the pairing (and the show) so… I continue it! :P xx

Healy sat in his office and tried to do some paperwork only to find out that he couldn't concentrate. All he could think about was Red and their new kind of relationship. He found himself falling more and more in love with her every day. He always knew that she was special to him from the very beginning of their acquaintance. He always helped her and wanted her to be safe in Litchfield. He always wanted the best for her. Moreover, everybody –inmates and COS – knew of their special relationship and they got used to it.

Also, Healy knew that he needed Red now more than ever. Okay, she was a manipulative and scheming woman at times, but she also was tender, fiery and passionate. He never made plans, but now he couldn't stop himself from thinking their –possible- common future.

Jesus. He loved her.

Red went towards the visiting room curious about her visitor and when she went through the door to room, she saw her son Vasily waiting patiently for her. As she approached, he stood up and hugged her tightly. Red smiled at him, stroked his cheek lovingly and then, they sat opposite at the table.

"What are you doing here, son? I had no idea that you were planning to visit me ", she said with an eyebrow raised.

"Oh come on, ma! Don't be grumpy! Aren't you happy to see your little baby?", he whimpered.

"I'm not grumpy'' she snorted '' and I'm happy to see you. But I'm afraid that something bad happened. You're in trouble again? Your brothers?'', she asked in concern.

''No ma! We're all fine! Don't worry. '', he sighed, 'Tell me about you. How are you? How're things going here?''

''Well, we all have a rough time, but we need to get through this. We're definitely better than this poor girl, Washington. But this will not go unpunished. You can be sure of that." Red stated and she seemed determined.

''Mama, please. You have to be careful. Don't do anything silly", he said pleasingly.

Her eyes narrowed as she looked at him. "Vasily, give me a break. I never do silly things."

"You know what I mean, mum. Your sentence will be over soon. So, don't fuck everything up."

Red slapped his cheek lightly. "Language, Vasily. And don't tell me what to do", she said coldly.

Vasily cleared his throat before speaking again.
"Ma… you know papa sent me. ''

Red looked astonished. ''Why?''

'' 'Cause you put him out of your visitation list… or something like that!''

Red rolled her eyes – it was so typical of her.
''No, no, no. I didn't mean it that way. What does he want? The divorce is final, now what?"

''He wants to get back with you, ma!", Vasily said, sounding apprehensive.

'WHAT? B'lyad! Please son, give me a fucking break!''

"Mama please, stop cursing and think about it. In less than 2 years, you'll be free. What will you do then? Where are you going to stay? Papa can support you, you'll be safe with him."

"I think I can take care of myself, I'm old enough. Thank you", she answered sharply.

"So… don't you have any feelings for him anymore? Is it definitely over?"

Red rolled her eyes again. "Vasily, I spent nearly half my life with him and he's your father. Of course I care about him. But he lied to me and failed me. You have to understand –and respect- that I don't want to get back with him. This conversation is over "

"All right, mum. Don't get upset."

"I'm glad we came to an understanding, honey", she said and gave him a faint smile.

"But… do you have a plan? Aren't you afraid of the future?", he asked her cautiously.

"No, love. I have to deal with other problems first."

"But I don't want you to be alone, mum. You probably need a man."

Red laughed sarcastically. "Oh, stop it. Enough about me. How is my grandchild?"

Red was looking forward to meeting the other girls. When she arrived at the chapel, Ruiz, Diaz, Ramos, Mendoza, Flores, Nichols, Jefferson and many other inmates were already there.

" What is this? A tea party?" Red scoffed and took a seat. Her back was in pain again.

"Hey ma!", Nicky greeted and sat next to her, glad to see a familiar face.

The Russian woman stroked tenderly her daughter's hair and Nicky smiled.
"You know Red… you smell… weird; different. "

"What do you mean Nicky? Don't offend me! I took a shower this morning!"

Nicky laughed heartily. "No ma… I mean… you smell like some male perfume", she observed in a low voice. "What happened? Did you have a good time around here?", the younger woman tauntingly asked.

Red laughed nervously. "Don't be ridiculous, Nicky. Vasily visited me earlier."

"Okay, but you know… this fragrance reminds me of someone I know; someone in here!"

"Yes, you found out. I fucked Piscatella before at his office."

The two women giggled, as Dayanara Diaz looked at them seriously and cleared her throat.

"Please ladies; I really hate small talk. We have an important reason to be here. So… please!"

"Sorry, we are all ears", Nicky said and Red nodded her head in agreement.

Then Ruiz stood up and took the floor.
"So… I think we all know why we're here. Am I right?"

" ' Cause the situation here is bullshit?", Maritza asked hesitantly

"Not only this…" Taystee started to say "but also it has to do with Poussey" she continued in a broken voice.

Maritza looked down at the floor in an attempt to hide her embarrassment.

"Latina girl, you are pretty and sweet but you're as silly as a fucking goose. A girl died here – oh, pardon me; she didn't die, she was murdered by a co. So yeah, this is more than the bullshit situation ", Red sighed.

Maritza was willing to answer, but Mendoza clapped her hands for silence.
"Okay, let's calm down chicas."

"But you know, Red is right. And we did nothing, girls; Nothing. A little fuss and that's all! Is this what we want?! Nothing changed, girls. The COS, these motherfuckers, continue to treat us in the same manner. This shit has to end here and now!" Ruiz stated and the girls started to applaud.

"We must get rid of Piscatella. He is the main problem" , Red said

"And Caputo!" Cindy added "This piece of shit who supported Bailey."

"Yes, but Caputo is just an instrument in the hands of MCC, you all know that" Nicky said.

"…unlike Piscatella who is a dangerous bastard." Flores added. "Yes, it's right."

"So what?" Cindy asked "Kill them all?"

"No girl. We need justice. We need to restore Poussey's reputation."

"Yes. And also, none of us wants to end up in Max. So, don't be unreasonable." Red added

"Okay Russian babushka, I got it. So…?"

"So, we need a scandal. A big scandal and he's out."

"So… that's it? Not a riot?", Flaca asked.

"We'll see. We must be cautious", Ruiz said, "but we need Piscatella out for sure."

''Moreover, if we want a riot, we have to organize it. Not quickies'', Red said and narrowed her eyes.

''Well, you worked at Russian Mafia. You know better'', Mendoza observed.

Red smiled with satisfaction. She liked this. She liked to feel powerful.

Then, the women started to discuss how they could trap him and suddenly, a severe thunderstorm broke.

After a while, the alarm went off and the women started to curse. They took fast the way back to prison.

"Well ladies, we received a weather alert, so we are in a state of emergency. Also, the east wing flooded but please, don't panic. None of us will leave and we'll take care of the situation. Be patient, ladies. It's only one night", Caputo announced and the inmates who were in the dining room sighed in frustration.

"It must be bad, huh?" Red asked standing at the door of his office.

"Red!" Healy's face lit up "I didn't notice you. What did you say?"
He was sitting behind his office reading a novel. All the lights were off, except for the lamp that sat on his desk.

She entered the room and closed the door behind her. "It must be bad to spend your night here, isn't it?"

"To be honest, not so much. I don't like empty homes anyway. "

She sat in her usual chair opposite him and he took off his glasses.
''Don't be so… what can I say?... extravagant. I'm sure you have a beautiful and comfortable home with a big bed.''

"I like to be here with you, Red", he said and reached for her hand.

"So, do you prefer to sleep… where?" she wondered "on the couch instead of your bed?" she continued.

"Yes, it's fine." Healy stood up and approached her. Then, he brushed the hair back from her face. "I want to be here with you, Galina", he said again in a low voice.

''Oh, you'll kill me with your sweetness one day'', Red purred and looked up at him teasingly.

''No, I won't'' he said with a smile and kissed her gently.

She savored his touch but then, she drew away.
"No, no, no. This is wrong. We need to be more careful. Anyone could walk in here at any minute.''

''I don't think so. Caputo is probably in his office right now relaxing or whatever and the others must be sneaking around carrying buckets to sort out the flood.'', he said and laughed.

Red chuckled. "Oh, it's mess around here, isn't it? They counted us, so I guess I don't have to worry about this.''

"Yes. Maybe you could stay with me for a while'', he proposed shyly.

"Yeah, I could. I think I need counseling,'' she teased him with a winged smile.

''Jesus, Red. When you smile like that, I think I'm gonna have a heart attack.''

''Oh'', she giggled. ''And what do you think when I'm doing this?'', she asked and nipped at his neck. Then, she started to lick and suck at his skin. Healy couldn't help it, but let out a loud groan.

Red broke away from him and chuckled. ''Shhh, lubov moya. They'll hear us.''

They sat on the couch. ''I always knew it'', he growled.

''What?''

''That you would be the death of me.''

''Oh, Sam'', she sighed, ''we must be crazy. We shouldn't be… you know… lovers or whatever. I mean… it is not even considered as a consensual relationship. I don't know if it'll end well. At times…. I think we should stop this. I don't want to be the cause of your getting in trouble. Mainly, I don't want you to end up in prison. You're a good man Sam and you deserve better than me."

Red sighed. She found the courage to share the thoughts that had been in her mind for weeks with him.

"Red, I know that you're right and you know that I respect the system and the rules."
She nodded. "But, I can't help it", he said desperately. "I love you, Red."
