Michael was putting the finishing touches on dinner. He decided to go hurry up and pick out an outfit before Holly returns home. He stood at the closet debating on what to wear, he finally decided to put on some black slacks, a red button down shirt, lofers and socks. With his hair hanging loosely down off his shoulders. As he was was getting ready he felt very nervous about this dinner with Holly. He couldn't understand why, I mean they were married and its not like its a first date, so why should he be nervous? He walked out to the kitchen to make sure everything for dinner was ready and the table setting was perfect. As he was checking everything one last time he heard the limo pull up. He quickly walked over to the hall mirror and made sure he looked good for Holly. He opened the door to see Holly weighed down with papers, folders, and more papers. Michael smiled and said "Here baby let me help you with those." He said while taking the papers and folders from her, with Holly looking at him strangely. Michael picked up on it and asked innocentely "What?" "Why do you look so nice and-" She takes a sniff of the air, "Why do I smell something in the oven?" "Oh I made dinner for us." "You?" "Yes me, why does that suprise you so much?" "I don't know I just have never seen you cook a lot thats all." "Well I do. Now come on." Michael walked happily out of the room, while Holly just stared at him thinking "What is up with him?!?!"

She walked into the dining room setting down the rest of her things, getting the shock of her life! The dining table all set with flickering candles and romantic lighting, with rose petels scattered all around the table. While soft music played in the background giving the room tons of ambiance. Holly just stood there shocked and completely puzzled as to why Michael would go through such great lengths to do this? She walked into the kitchen seeing Michael place some chicken and vegetables on two plates. "Michael what are you doing?" Holly says leaning against the door frame. "Well my dear I am getting are food ready for dinner." He said continuing to get their food ready. "No, i'm talking about about the candles, the music, and the rose petels." "Do you like it?" Michael said looking up at her and smiling. "Michael its beautiful, but I don't understand why you did it?" "Well why wouldn't I do it?" Michael said walking to the freezer pulling out a bottle of wine. "Well I thought after I debilitated you last night, that you wouldn't want to be fifty feet near me." She said folding her arms. Michael left out a chuckle "Well yes I will admit I was down for the count last night but I decided to forgive you for it. Now go into the dining room I will be there in a moment." "Well first I am going to check on Jenny." Holly said starting to walk out of the kitchen. "She's not here." Holly stoped dead in her tracks walking back to Michael. "What do you mean she's not here, where is she?" "Don't worry she's getting spoiled by mother as we speak. Now go sit down and relax." Holly did as she was told and sat down at the beautiful table.

A few moments later Michael appeared with the two plates he had earlier with two glasses of wine. He proudly sat them on the table and said "Bon appetit!" "This smells really amazing!" "Thank you, now eat up." After Holly took one bit of her food she exclaimed "Oh my God is this terrific!" "Good i'm glad." Michael said with a mouth full. After a few more bites Holly could not stand the suspense any longer, she finally lets out. "Okay Michael what is the deal here?" "What?" Michael asks confused. "This! The dinner, the romantic atmosphere, just everything." "Well can't a husband make dinner for his wife? Besides I wanted to do something special for you." Holly lays her hand on her heart and says "Oh my God! Something wrong showed up on my pap smear and they wanted you to tell me first, is that right?" "No that's not it holl." Michael says chuckling. "Then what is it? Is it my family did something happen to one of them?" "No Holly, why do you automatically assume that there is something wrong?" "Reflex I guess." "Well there is nothing wrong, Jenny's fine your family's fine, everything is fine. But- us were not fine." "I know." "To be truthful Holly the real reason I made this dinner was for us is to have a discussion." "Alright." Holly says taking in a deep sigh. Michael throws up his hands and lets out "I'm sorry Holly. I have behaved selfish, immature, and God knows what else." "Yea well your not the only one." She says rubbing her neck. "So what made you have this epiphany?" Holly asks. "This morning I needed to talk to someone, so I called mother and she gave me some great advice. And she made me realize that if I didn't set things straight with you that I might run the risk of losing you, which is something I don't want to happen." "Michael you'll never lose me, for God's sake we have a child together, so you'll never lose me." She says grabing his hand. Michael smiles seeing her hand on his. "Holly I don't want to fight with you anymore, you made a decision about us having another baby, so as your husband I need to respect that." She nods her head "Thank you for understanding. And Michael I want you to know that I do want us to have another baby, but just not now." "Alright if that's what you want. I won't press the issue anymore, I just don't want to fight anymore I feel like my life is upside down when we fight." Holly giggles "I know, I feel the same way. But I need to apologize to you to. I know I hurt your feelings with not wanting another baby and the birth control, and Jack and I want to say i'm sorry I did not mean to hurt you." "I know." Holly sighs "But at the same time you truly hurt me with Tatiana, which is inexcusable." "Baby I am so sorry, if I could erase the night I would. And your right what I did was inexcusable and I solemnly swear to you right here and now that I will never do anything like that ever again." "You promise?" "I promise from the bottom of my heart. Do you believe me?" "Yes, I do." "So do you forgive me?" Michael asks. "Yes, I forgive you for eveything. Do you forgive me?" "There's nothing to forgive. So everthing is settled." "It seems so." "Holly you don't know how much better I feel." She smiles "Me to." They both start to lean in and finally they kiss each other, both acting like they've never kissed each other before. Everything felt different like they both turned over a new leaf and a new beginning was starting. Michael picks up his fork again and says "We should eat before it gets cold." Holly just stares at Michael eating. She slowly gets up and grabs Michael's hand to get up. He looks at her as he gets up from his chair. Holly passionately kisses Michael, Holly is slowly leading them towards their room. On their way there Michael says breathlessly "Your not playing with me again like you did last night, are you?" "No, not this time." Holly says as she giggles. They close the door to their bedroom getting ready to express their love for each other through their bodies.

The next morning Holly arrives at the Epic Record's headquarters for a meeting to discuss some last minute details about "Feedback." Jack had already arrived and was waiting for Holly. As soon as he saw her he knew something was different with her. "Good morning Jack, how are you on this glorious morning!" Holly says with the biggest smile you could imagine. Jack smirks "What happened to you?" "Nothing, why?" "I don't know its just your never usually in this good of a mood this early in the morning." "Oh Jack your silly, absolutly silly." Holly pulls out her compact and checks her reflection in the mirror. "Jack I do have some wonderful news." "What?" "Michael and I have worked things out." "So nothings wrong with you guys anymore?" Holly shakes her head. Jack puts on a fake smile and hugs Holly "That's fantastic Holly that really is." "Thank you, I am so happy." "So that is why you came in here with a glow on you." "Am I that transparent?" Holly says blushing. "Believe me I can always tell when someone gets lucky, they have that expression that you've got right now; the rosey cheeks, the bright smile and distant not-quite-there expression." Holly giggles. One of the board members opens the door and says "Mrs. Jackson were ready to start the meeting." "I'll be right there, Jack are you coming?" "You go ahead Holly I need to make a quick phone call." "Alright." After Jack sees Holly close the door he walks over to one of the desks and dials a number. He quietly wispers "Hey its me, look things didn't go as I suspected, so what's the next plan?"
