Forbidden (OITNB Fanfic) ON HOLD

Chapter One

Galina Resnikov walked down the hall of Litchfield Prison that morning, her tired eyes fought with her to stay open. She had been up since 4:00 that morning mostly on her feet cooking. Ever since she had gotten her kitchen back she had promised herself that nothing would take it from her again. Yes, they were cooking slop but still she was in the kitchen. Just as long as the inmates knew she had nothing to do with the fowl substances they put into their bodies. She had been in Litchfield for almost 20 and never had she ever seen food so despicable. Red stopped once she had reached her destination, the office of Sam Healy. He had summoned her over an hour ago but she couldn't leave the kitchen until she was sure everything was under control. The relationship had been on the rocks yet again, ever since he had figured out all of the flirting was just a ploy to get her kitchen back. Red turned the knob and the door fell open, her feet moved slowly one in front of the other as she entered the office. Healy sat at his desk shuffling through papers, she could tell something was bothering him.

"What did I do?" she asked sitting across from him

"You didn't do a damn thing Red" he sighed looking at her

"Then what am I here for? Certainly not just to look at."

"It's our daughter"

Red felt her heart stop, the way he said it our daughter echoed in her mind. That was a termn she had not heard in years. Her mind raced back to that fatal day in 19997 when she, an inmate discovered she was pregnant with her counselors baby.

April 20th 1997, Litchfield Prison

The office door opened and there she stood, long red hair that went all the way down to her wiat "We need to talk" she hissed the Russian accent thick.

Sam Healy looked up from the file he had been reading. He had been at Litchfield for about two years now and was finally starting to feel like he fit in. Inmate Resnikov had been there just as long, she had arrived three weeks after he began his job. Healy had the pleasure of giving her the grand tour and assigning her a job. He took great interest in her, to say she was fierce would have been an understatement. She took the other inmates by storm with her Russian ways, quickly adopting the mute Norma as her side kick. Red climbed the ranks of Litchfield as quickly as Healy had, the woman had just about every guard wrapped around her little dainty finger. In the beginning her husband would come every weakened but after some time he started coming less and less and soon the visits just stopped all together.

"What is it Galina?" Sam asked her

Out of all the men in her life Sam was the only one she let call her that. Red hated her given name but it sounded beautiful the way he said it.

"I'm pregnant" she snarled her hand resting on the door knob making sure it was locked.

Sam stood up "How?"

"Oh well let's see when two people are careless because their love is basically illegal I guess."

He walked over to her placing both hands on her shoulders looking dead into her eyes. "Galina, I told you this was a bad idea."

She backed away from him, "You? Sam in case you're forgetting I was the one who said no and you assured me that everything would be okay. I was foolish to believe such lies."

"You're sure you're pregnant?" he asked

"I had three children Sam I know what pregnancy feels like, I don't need a doctor to tell me what's wrong."

It had only happened once, three weeks ago in his office/ Red had requested a new stove and they were meeting to discuss the budget. At this point they had only kissed a few times and Red had made it clear that nothing could ever happen. It was late and they were both tired and lonely, she had foolishly given in. She told herself the next day that it was just due to loneliness but found herself falling for the man she couldn't have. After all she had a husband and three sons outside of eth prison and what would happen to them if she got more time for having an inappropriate relationship with a consoler? Or what would happen to Sam if they got caught? He would for sure lose his job, a job that he had just got and was good at.

"What do we do?" Sam questioned looking at her.

"I'm a convicted felon Healy don't ask me for advice. That's what you're here for." She scoffed.

"They're gonna know it's mine." He said

"Exactly which is why we have to do something!"

"Keep your voice down inmate."

"Oh so now I'm beneath you is that it?"

"Galina"

"No, no more Galina, its Red from now on Healy."

"I didn't mean it like that" he explained "I just can't believe what you're telling me."

"Imagine how I felt the third time I had to call in sick for breakfast shift."

Sam thought for a moment, "Since we can't tell anyone I have an idea."

"I'm listening"

"I put you in the SHU for . . . oh I don't know talking out of context."

"And?

"Well then we keep you in there until the baby is born and then put it up for adoption."

"That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard Sam Healy." Red began to pace the room.

"Then what do you suggest I do?"

"I'm thinking" she spat.

"Red?" Sam asked staring across his desk at the redhead.

"Sorry I was just thinking" she said rubbing her eyes to keep from crying.

"So you didn't hear a word of what I just said?"

She shook her head, "No"

"Our daughter has been arrested and is on her way to Litchfield!"

"What? Healy you must be mistaken. She . . . what did she do?"

"Like mother, like daughter" was all he said before he stood up and walked to the door.

"Sam I . . . "

"None of this would have happened if we had stuck with my plan." He sighed.

The walkie talkie on his desk went off, "Healy, Kristina Resnikov is here" Maxwell bellowed. Red got up from where she was sitting.

"Let me see her Sam" she pleaded tears welling up in her eyes.

"I don't think that's a good idea Red. I suggest you get back to the kitchen before the Spanish burn it down."

"You go easy on her or I swear to God" she hissed getting closer to him.

"Galina"

"No its Red, remember you lost that privilege a long time ago." Red brushed past him and walked slowly down the hall toward the kitchen. Healy closed his office door and made his way to the front of the prison to meet Kristina. To the world she was just another inmate but to him she was the daughter he had given up all those years ago all so he could keep his job, a job that he now loathed.
