Michael was putting the finishing touches on dinner. He decided to go hurry up and pick out an outfit before houx 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 dîner 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 cuisine to make sure everything for dîner was ready and the table, tableau 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 houx weighed down with papers, folders, and plus papers. Michael smiled and a dit "Here baby let me help toi with those." He a dit while taking the papers and folders from her, with houx looking at him strangely. Michael picked up on it and asked innocentely "What?" "Why do toi look so nice and-" She takes a sniff of the air, "Why do I smell something in the oven?" "Oh I made dîner for us." "You?" "Yes me, why does that suprise toi so much?" "I don't know I just have never seen toi cook a lot thats all." "Well I do. Now come on." Michael walked happily out of the room, while houx 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, tableau all set with flickering candles and romantic lighting, with rose petels scattered all around the table. While soft musique played in the background giving the room tons of ambiance. houx just stood there shocked and completely puzzled as to why Michael would go through such great lengths to do this? She walked into the cuisine seeing Michael place some chicken and vegetables on two plates. "Michael what are toi doing?" houx says leaning against the door frame. "Well my dear I am getting are nourriture ready for dinner." He a dit continuing to get their nourriture ready. "No, i'm talking about about the candles, the music, and the rose petels." "Do toi like it?" Michael a dit looking up at her and smiling. "Michael its beautiful, but I don't understand why toi did it?" "Well why wouldn't I do it?" Michael a dit walking to the freezer pulling out a bottle of wine. "Well I thought after I debilitated toi last night, that toi wouldn't want to be fifty feet near me." She a dit 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 toi for it. Now go into the dining room I will be there in a moment." "Well first I am going to check on Jenny." houx a dit starting to walk out of the kitchen. "She's not here." houx stoped dead in her tracks walking back to Michael. "What do toi mean she's not here, where is she?" "Don't worry she's getting spoiled par mother as we speak. Now go sit down and relax." houx 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, tableau and a dit "Bon appetit!" "This smells really amazing!" "Thank you, now eat up." After houx took one bit of her nourriture she exclaimed "Oh my God is this terrific!" "Good i'm glad." Michael a dit with a mouth full. After a few plus bites houx 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 dîner for his wife? Besides I wanted to do something special for you." houx lays her hand on her cœur, coeur and says "Oh my God! Something wrong showed up on my pap smear and they wanted toi 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 toi 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 houx the real reason I made this dîner was for us is to have a discussion." "Alright." houx 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 toi have this epiphany?" houx 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 toi 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 toi anymore, toi made a decision about us having another baby, so as your husband I need to respect that." She nods her head "Thank toi for understanding. And Michael I want toi to know that I do want us to have another baby, but just not now." "Alright if that's what toi 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." houx giggles "I know, I feel the same way. But I need to apologize to toi 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." houx sighs "But at the same time toi 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 toi 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 toi believe me?" "Yes, I do." "So do toi forgive me?" Michael asks. "Yes, I forgive toi for eveything. Do toi forgive me?" "There's nothing to forgive. So everthing is settled." "It seems so." "Holly toi 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 jouer la comédie 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." houx 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. houx passionately kisses Michael, houx is slowly leading them towards their room. On their way there Michael says breathlessly "Your not playing with me again like toi did last night, are you?" "No, not this time." houx says as she giggles. They close the door to their bedroom getting ready to express their l’amour for each other through their bodies.

The suivant morning houx 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 toi on this glorious morning!" houx says with the biggest smile toi 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." houx 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 toi guys anymore?" houx shakes her head. Jack puts on a fake smile and hugs houx "That's fantastic houx that really is." "Thank you, I am so happy." "So that is why toi came in here with a glow on you." "Am I that transparent?" houx 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." houx 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 toi coming?" "You go ahead houx I need to make a quick phone call." "Alright." After Jack sees houx 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 suivant plan?"
