A/N : Hey y'all! Once again, thank you so much for reviewing - you're the best! I can't believe where we are!

Anyway, this is a short chapter about dating with the warden present. I tried to add some humor to it (you'll see). and I hope you think it's funny. I don't know...Sometimes my humour is GREAT!...sometimes it isn't.

Let me know.

Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary...

A/N - Scratch that.

Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Henry...

Michael

Both Sara and the Warden were waiting for him at the gates, where he was released by the CO. Sara smiled at him and the Warden just looked – nervous, with a 'oh, man, please don't let me have to watch them snogging the whole time.' . Michael shook his head lightly. This could be fun.

Henry Pope looked at them unsurely. "Why don't you – er... sit in the back with Michael, Sara?" He sounded like a parent having their child dating for the first time. A smile crept out on Sara's face, and as soon as Michael found the opportunity, he kissed it. She immediately leaned into him, at the same time buckling his seatbelt. He smiled as she hurriedly tore away and whispered : "I want you to be safe."

Their driver cleared his throat. "You both have to be. Try not to – " he looked at them in the rearviewmirror and rolled his eyes, "stick to eachother like velcro."

Sara laughed. "We'll try." Michael attacked her neck, oblivious to the Warden's worried stare, and never hearing the words he said, only hearing Sara's response as her throat vibrated with her words. "Yes, I meant I'll try." She looked at her pseudo-father reassuringly. I can handle him, she mouthed.

The Warden smiled soflty. I'm sure you can.

Henry

"Yes doctor. I grant Dr. Tancredi the monopoly of Mr. Scofield as a patient. It's not that I don't trust you, it's that Dr. Tancredi knows the way his mind operates. Besides, I'm sure you won't get him to cooperate with you, he is very stubborn that way."

The doctor looked at him in doubt. "Are you sure, Sir?"

"Dr. Clemner, all we need is your equipement. I do not need your opinion on how to handle my staff or my prisoners, thank you very much."

The doctor sighed. "Exam Room six is free for you."

"Thank you, doctor."

He walked over to the Couple of the year and informed them of the situation. "I'll..." they looked up at him simultaneously and my, my, wasn't this freaking him out? "wait for you in the little room where the patient has to change into that awful robe.." He proudly held up him i-Pod and copy of Harry Potter and smirked. "I came prepared."

He pushed them inside and heard them turn the lock, doing the same thing with his door. He smiled as the first tones of the Perishes wafted into his ears and contently opened his book. Now he had to wait. And try not to think about what was going on behind the other closed door.

Sara

Michael looked at her with a look of wonder etched on his beautiful features. "An i-pod and a Harry Potter-book?"

She smiled. "He is only human, Michael."

He shook his head. "Yeah, but..."

Sara pressed herself against him. "Uh-uh, Michael. Don't talk. Just kiss." She swung her arms around his neck and pressed an open-mouthed kiss against his lips. He eagerly pushed back and ran his hands all over her body. Fingers were exploring, lips were moving and tongues were touching. After being denied all of this for so long, it had felt as if they had finally come home. This place, this examination room, was their place for an hour, if only in their minds. It was all there...and they were there...together.

With the warden waiting for them. Michael sighed as her head came to rest on his chest and his fingers started to roll over his muscles and tattoos. They'd survived the first month – but there were still five more to go. She raised herself on the table and looked into his eyes.

"It's just five more months, Michael." She felt him smile at her words and melted when she felt his lips touch her hair. A gesture that she loved so much. Thank you, Henry. For allowing him to do this. In just five little months, she wouldn't have to thank anyone but Michael for this. It would be them against the world, without the stupid sidekicks watching their backs.

Five more months. 13,219,200 seconds to count down.

Henry

Henry was shaken out of his musings about Harry and wether or not Snape was evil, by the sound of a door opening. Out walked the two lovebirds, clearly...er- rested. They both oozed a sense of liberty and happiness, and he could feel his heart speeding knowing that he was the one who had made this happen. He had put their smiles up there.

"You ready?"

They both nodded and Michael squeezed Sara's hand, that he had been holding ever since they came out. She gently squeezed back and pressed a kiss to his lips, before letting go. Michael stopped the Warden from opening the door with a simple "Wait."

Henry turned around and raised his eyebrow at Michael, who pressed Sara against him one more time. "I love you." He whispered in her ear, and Henry Pope, Warden of the Fox River State Prison, had to turn away from the tenderness in his voice.

He didn't doubt Sara's statement anymore.

It was real.

Did you notice it? What did you think?
