Michael woke up the next morning on the sofa in Lincoln's apartment. He looked around and noticed that Lincoln was already up.
" I was wondering when you were going to get up," Lincoln said," Don't you have an appointment with your probation officer?"
Michael got up and stretched.
" Yes, but I'm going over to see Callie first."
" Why didn't you just spend the night with her, you know you wanted to?"
Michael went into the bathroom and Lincoln came up to him.
" Callie and I are taking things one step at a time," Michael said," I did want to, Callie wanted me to."
" So why didn't you?"
Michael didn't answer the question and shut the door. He turned on the water and took a shower. As the water drained on him he thought about how he got to that moment, it was Callie who got him through the worst. Michael then got out and got dressed. Lincoln again looked at him.
" So what else do you need to do?" Lincoln asked.
" Find a way to unfreeze my assets," Michael answered," Linc, I want to move in with Callie."
Lincoln looked at his brother.
" Are you crazy?"
" Linc, I love her and I want to be with her, anyway I can. I have to go."
Michael left, but then thought of the first thing he needed to do.
" First things first," Michael told himself," My probation officer."
Meanwhile, Callie was just waking up and forgot that Michael wasn't there. She got up and went into the bathroom, but then heard a knock on the door. It was early, or was it late? Callie didn't look at the clock and just went to the door to see Sara. Callie sighed and opened the door.
" Sara."
" Good morning Callie."
Sara came in and was surprised that Michael wasn't there.
" Michael went home?"
" Yes, what did you expect?"
Callie sat down and Sara looked at her.
" What happened? Did the two of you have a fight?"
" No. Michael just thought is wasn't a good idea for him to stay here last night. I so wanted him to."
Sara sat down next to her.
" Anything else wrong?"
Callie looked at Sara.
" I never thought I would love someone again," Callie answered," I love Michael more then anything."
" So there's no problem."
Callie smiled.
" The only problem is the next level. I love Michael, but I'm not ready to have sex with him. I feel like that's what he wants."
Sara nodded her head.
" Did you tell Michael how you feel?"
" Yes, and he said that when it comes down to the first time we make love, it'll be worth the wait. Sara, what's going on with me?"
Sara smiled.
" You're in love Callie. Take your time and talk to Michael. I know what a good listener he is."
Callie sighed and got up.
" You're right, but I feel that I might lose him."
" You'll never know if you don't try."
In the time Sara and Callie talked, Michael was waiting outside the office where he was to meet his probation officer.
" Mr. Scofield," he heard.
Michael turned around to see a middle aged gentlemen standing in front of him.
" I'm Howard Dexter," Mr. Dexter said," Your probation officer. Please come in."
Michael went in and sat down.
" I should say your case is surprising," Mr. Dexter said," You gave yourself up?"
" Yes sir," Michael answered," I felt that it was the right thing to do."
Mr. Dexter nodded his head.
" According to your records, you've got an amazing resume and qualifications."
Michael nodded his head.
" You should find a job as soon as possible," Mr. Dexter told him," When you do, I need to know right away and you also need to check in with me once a week."
" I understand sir. I do have a question."
" Yes."
" On where I'm living. Right now, I am staying with my brother, Lincoln Burrows. I want to know if I could move."
Mr. Dexter shifted his eyes.
" Where?"
" Live with the woman I love. Her name is Callie and she means the world to me."
Mr. Dexter noted that.
" I don't see that as a problem. I need the address.'
" I'll get it to you."
Mr. Dexter stood up.
" I guess that's it then. Let me know when you find a job and where it is."
" I'll get it to you as soon as possible."
Michael left the building and smiled. The next thing to do was to see about unfreezing his assets.
