Forbidden (OITNB Fanfic) ON HOLD

Chapter 4

A/N: Hello everyone! I have started my second year of college and am all moved in. Things have been a bit stressful but now I think I have things under control. Thank you for being so patient.

Also, Microsoft Word has a habit of spelling Red's last name with and S instead of a Z so its not me it's the program. Trust me I know how to spell our girls name.

As always R&R!

Enjoy!

April 25th 1997 Litchfield Prison

It was late, 11:30 to be exact. Red had waited a bit before she made her first move. She got up from her bunk and told the CO on duty that she needed to use the restroom. He reluctantly agreed and let her go. She hurried down the hall and when she was sure no one was looking slipped into Healy's office. He sat on his couch in the dark room with only the lights from outside peaking in through the blinds. With her back against the door Red opened her mouth to speak,

"I'm sorry I was late I just needed to wait for the right time."

Healy didn't say anything.

She walked over and sat next to him, "Sam?"

"I just can't do it Galina . . ."

Red was stood up and with one quick motion she slapped him clear across the face, "Son of a bitch!"

Healy stood up and grabbed both of her wrists making sure she couldn't hit him again, "That is enough Reznikov!"

"Then if you can't do this I have no choice but to tell everyone the truth, is that what you want Sam?"

He let her go and stared into her eyes, "You're sure this is going to work?"

"Vee is waiting and if I make her wait any longer she'll drive off and our plan is ruined."

He nodded and handed her a bag, "She dropped off your cloths around dinner."

Red took the bag and pulled her nightgown over her head, "I knew I could count on her." She pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt before slipping on the tennis shoes. She turned around to look at him, "I love you Sam Healy you know that don't you?"

Sam stared at her, he had never seen er in street clothes until now. "Come here" he took her in his arms and held her tight. This would be the last time they would see each other like this, probably for months. The room was dark and quiet, he slipped something into the pocket of her jeans and said, "Read that when you get out. I want an answer when I see you next."

Red looked at him confused, 'What?"

"No questions, now you've got to hurry." He placed his coat around her shoulders, "it's cold out there Galina."

She pulled open his office window and he lifted her up onto the windowsill, "Wait" she turned around and kissed him.

He returned her kiss and the said, "Go"

Red jumped down into the damp grass and looked around. There it was, that hole in the fence and sure enough Vee was parked in the trees. She took one last look at Sam in the window before she took off running.

Nicky, Lorna, Alex and Piper followed Anita into the cafeteria and sat down at a corner table. They had asked her to have dinner with them that evening so they could get the scoop on Red's early prison years. Once the five women settled into their seats with their trays Anita spoke, "So what do you wanna know?"

"The daughters" Nicky said

Anita sighed, "Girls, that's not my place. If Red found out I said anything she'd kill me."

"All we wanna know is was Red pregnant in prison?"

"Yes Nichols, she had been in here a year when it happened."

The four inmates looked at each other, "Who's the father?' they gasped.

Red had Kristina back in the kitchen peeling potatoes, "Honey you have to do it like this so that you only get the skin." She said.

"Sorry Mom, you know I wish you would've been around to teach me this."

"Don't make me feel worse than I already do girl." Red snapped.

As much as she longed for the days she could cook with her daughter this was not how she imagined it.

"Who aught you how to cook?" Kristina asked.

"I taught myself. Dmitri couldn't do shit so I took it upon myself to be both the mother and father." Red explained.

"Still not his biggest fan huh?"

"Kristina I've been doing a lot of thinking and there's something you should know."

The young redheaded looked concerned, "What?"

"Come see me tonight after dinner, there's something I need to get off my chest." Red squeezed her daughters hand and headed to the freezer.

"Now that is where I draw the line." Anita said taking a sip of her water.

"DeMarco just tell us who the guard is" Alex demanded.

"It's not a guard."

"Did she sleep with the warden?" Piper asked.

"Red has had a lot of crazy things happen in her life but sleeping with the warden isn't one of them." Anita laughed.

"Then who?"

Anita sighed, she knew the actual truth about Kristina but decided to tell the girls the story most of the world knew.

"Red escaped from here in the 90's and went to see her husband."

"So there's no scandalous love story about Red and an officer?" Lorna frowned.

"Nope I'm afraid not." Anita said. Across the cafeteria she looked up and locked eyes with Sam Healy. He smiled and nodded as to thank her for keeping his secret, but for how long thoigh?
