Michael returned half an hour later. "Can we get down to business? So both of us can leave this place?"

"Sure, Scofield. Tell me your master plan. Tell me what you think you can do to me, to get rid of me."

"Harlan Gaines."

"So it was you that made CIA question me? Sorry to disappoint you then, but they didn't ask any hard questions. They have nothing." Jacob sneered.

"That wasn't the point. It was meant to get you on their radar, to connect you to the case. You are now a part in that investigation. If they got more leads, they will look more closely into you. What will they find then?" Michael saw how Jacob changed his expression.

"I'm pretty sure you deleted all phone call history between you and Gaines and other traces, but did he? Considering he didn't know he was going to be killed that night, I say he hasn't. If CIA found out you are one of the last people to see him alive, you are probably going to be suspect number uno, don't you think?"

"You forgot that I got a video that shows you killed him. If you think you can get me arrested for murder, think again. It will only incriminate yourself."

"Yes, about that. I had that video changed, I didn't particularly like the ending. So another acquaintance I met in prison, a computer expert altered the ending and going to make quite an exciting beginning. Much more to my liking. It will show the original killer doing the killing, as it should be. And as you surely remember, I buried the body, so I know the location. The CIA would be very pleased if they got that information I imagine."

Jacob stared at Michael and for the first time he felt a fear of getting caught.

"Here is the deal. All I want to do is to be with my family and I don't want to do that on the run. Constantly looking over our shoulders and never stay too long in one place. So if you leave us alone, never bothering any of my family. Me...Sara...Mike...Lincoln...LJ. You are free to go. Otherwise I will hand you over to the CIA with the tape, the body location and all the evidence I have. Your choice."

After staring silently at each other Jacob finally said. "Fine. I will stop hunting you. I will leave you guys alone."

"Good. Be true to your word or CIA will be knocking on your door. I hope sincerely I will never see you again." With those words Michael left the room.

.

Once again Jacob woke up with a headache and feeling nauseated. They drugged him again after he promised Scofield to stay away from them. Which he isn't of course. He will not tolerate to be treated like this. They must all be punished for this treachery.

He was lying on the ground outside. It was dark, but he saw a building in front of him. Jacob stood up on shaky legs and walked to it. It turned out to be a gas station. They must have taken his phone, after a search in his pockets came up empty. He used the phone in the gas station to call A&W and Van.

.

Michael knocked on the hotel room where Sara and Mike stayed. Michael and Lincoln had just came back from cleaning up the barn, removed all evidence that something took place in the barn they temporary burrowed. It was going to be so good to see them again, even if he got to see them a brief moment this morning. Even if three days of missing them is considerably less than six years, he missed them like crazy.

He can't wait to hold both of them in his arms. Now they will be together a few days before the last phase in his plan is to be executed. Ray is working on the video, they took photos of Jacob when they had him captured. Ray planted some spyware on Jacob's computer and installed a hidden camera in the room. Now they hope they will have more evidence to give the CIA, that Jacob will be careless and say something that will incriminate himself.

"Sara, it's me."

Sara carefully opened the door with the chain on and lighten up when she saw it was Michael. She unhooked the chain and pulled Michael into the room. Michael locked the door behind him and took Sara in his arms and kissed her passionately. They were so engulfed with each other that they forgot they weren't alone until Michael felt Mike hugged his leg and almost whispered. "Daddy, you are home." Like he didn't want to disturb them.

Michael let go of Sara so he could lift up his son. "Hello Mike. I have missed you."

"Hi Daddy."

"It's so good to be back with you guys."

Mike put his arms around Michael's neck and hugged him tight. Sara laid her head on Mike's back and put her hands around both of them, so she could hug both her Michaels.

"So what gave you guys gone today?" Michael asked.

"We went shopping. I got some new coloring books. Come and look."

"Okay."

Mike took Michael's hand and Michael took Sara's hand, so they mimic a human train walking to the couch.

They played with Mike the rest of the evening and after they put him to bed, they made sweet sweet love.

.

Michael stood in the shadows, watching the CIA agents arrest Poseidon's henchmen. Those two that were in the car that almost hit Sara. Ray found the video on Jacob's computer when they were here before. Michael had a meeting with the CIA earlier this week, to get their help to put Jacob away in prison, so he never can hurt any of them again. Killing a CIA deputy director will give him a life sentence, with no parole.

The current deputy director was very interesting in solving his predecessors disappearance. Knowing he was killed in cold blood by one of their own, was dreadful news and made him angry. Michael gave them all evidence he had, the video of the shooting, the location of the body and Jacob's dna. As a bonus they got the video of the attempt on Sara's life, so they could arrest Jacob's associates too.

Michael knew Jacob wouldn't keep his promise to stay away from them. Michael has no guilty conscience to break his promise not to report Jacob to the CIA. The purpose of capture Jacob was to get his dna and headshots of him, so they could digital his face.

The CIA had Jacob's office under surveillance, so they know when all of them would be together. Today was that day. The day Michael has been waiting for, longed for, the day he will be free. The day the threat against everyone he loves is neutralized. he can go home to his family as a free man.

"Are you ready, Mr Scofield?" The agent in charge of the operation had walked up to him.

"Yes, I am."

"Then let's take Mr Ness down, so you can get your life back."

Michael and the agents started to walk to the university gate.

.

Michael had a hard time to pinpoint exactly where you will trigger the motion sensor, that will make the alarm go off inside and warn Jacob. When Michael thinks he knows, the four agents rushed down the hall and positioned themselves two on each side of the door, pressed against the wall to not be seen and Michael crossed the invincible line.

Inside Jacob didn't look at the monitor immediately when the alarm started, as he thought it was A&W and Van coming back. When he did look up and saw it was Michael of all people standing outside the door, he should be suspicious. But instead he thought how fortune it was, now he could turn the table on Scofield, get him to reveal where Sara and Mike is hiding. Jacob opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a gun. He reached for the button to open the door, but before he could press it, the door opened up.

"What the hell!" Jacob came to his feet fast, but before he could do anything else, he had four guns pointing at him. "What is the meaning of this? How did you get through the door?"

"Put the gun down." One of the agents said.

Jacob stared at the intruders for a few seconds before putting the gun down on the desk.

"Step aside from it."

Jacob did what they asked.

"Now, Mr Ness, you and I will have another talk about Harlan Gaines, I have more questions."

Jacob looked closer to the one that has been doing the talking and now recognized him as the agent he talked to the other week.

"It's quite an office you got here, I thought you worked for us." He turned to the agent on his left. "Do a complete sweep, I want to know everything those servers contain and how he got hold of such a secure office at a university."

"Yes, sir."

"Let's go, Mr Ness. I prefer my office."

Michael stepped inside. Jacob stared at him with rage in his eyes. "It's him you want, he killed Gaines. I got proof."

"So do he. You know, Mr Scofield is quite the story teller and it's one incredible story at that."

"It's all lies. You can't trust one word of what he has been saying."

"If it's not true, Mr Scofield should write a book or make a movie, it's a hell of a story. The reason to why his story is trustworthy, is his wife can attest and verify. Her story is a perfect match to his."

"She is my wife." Jacob spat out.

"Well...technically she may be, but romantically...I say she and Mr Scofield belongs to each other. You can't deny the love between them."

"I have a video showing Scofield killed Gaines up at a cabin."

"Yes, I have seen that video, but it's clearly showing you as the shooter and then moving the body."

Jacob looked at Michael. "He said he had it altered."

"We have had our experts going through it and it's not been tampered with. They have looked at it frame by frame, nothing has been cut or altered, it's genuine."

"It can't be." Jacob looked coldly at Michael who was smiling.

"I told you, you can meet some extraordinary people."

"You will see for yourself down at my office. Let's go, it will be a long night."

"How did you open the door? It should be unenforceable and impenetrable. I am the only one that can open it."

"You remember the day you brought me here? That was your first mistake. You said you admired my idea to have my plan on my sleeves, literally in a tattoo. Then you said the eyes are the key to the soul. And I said it what's behind the eyes that count. I combined it all to a master key." Michael put his hands in front of his face, so they revealed the secret of his new tattoo.

Jacob grasped. "That's impossible. How could you..."

"Impossible is only a word."

.

The agent in charge came up to Michael after they put a handcuffed Jacob in the car.

"Is it really over now? He will not be set free?"

"I can understand that you have trust issues on our government and institutions considering what you have been through. But there are good guys amongst us too, I can assure you. I want to thank you, Mr Scofield. Without you we would never solve Harlan Gaines murder. It was getting a bit embarrassing that we couldn't solve a murder done to one of our own."

"He will be prosecuted?"

"Yes. We have a solid case. He is not going anywhere. The evidence is overwhelming. He will get a life sentence. Killing a CIA agent is a major crime. Justice will be served. You are a free man, Mr Scofield. The good part with a secret organisation is that it contains few people. We have them all in our custody. The threat against your family is eliminated. Now you can start living your life again and be a daddy. But don't think it will be easy living, without drama and excitement. It's not a walk in the park. I have two children of my own."

Michael smiled. "That's all I want and I look forward to that kind of challenge."

.

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Now when this is over, are we going to move? Or are we going back to our old house?"

"I don't know, sweetie. We haven't discussed that yet. Maybe Michael wants to go back to Chicago, where we are both from. But I do think we will not stay in Jacob's house. I can't see how Michael could stay there and not think about what he did and what that house represent. All memories he wasn't a part of and everything he missed out on. Perhaps we could rent or buy another place in the surrounding area, so you could finish kindergarten. Would you like that?"

"I like Dylan and the other at kindergarten, but I don't mind if we are moving. Just as daddy is with us, that we are all together, it's not important to me where we live."

Sara looked tenderly at Mike. How blessed they were with such a lovely son, so warm and caring, not a selfless bone in his body. Sara caressed him over the hair and kissed him on the temple. "We can discuss it when Michael comes home. I'm with you, I don't care where we live, as long as we are all together. It would be great if Lincoln would live nearby too."

Mike smiled at her. "I would like that too."

.

Sara was pacing back and forth in the hotel room. She was waiting for Michael, he called and said he was going to be late, it was taking more time than he first thought. Mike wanted to wait up too, but it was way too late for him, so he had to go to bed.

So here she was alone, waiting for the home pregnancy test to give its verdict. She and Mike had gone out earlier during the day. They went for some ice cream and walked to a park where Mike went on the swings. It was Saturday and many families were there, lots of children and their parents.

When Mike saw them, he asked if he was going to have some siblings. He would very much like to be a big brother. He said now when daddy is back and he missed out on his birth, he thought daddy would like experience it all.

Sara's heart melted when she remembered Mike's words. She hadn't even thought of that possibility. They could have more children. Michael could experience everything he missed with a second child. Now when Mike had mentioned it and the more she thought of it, she liked it. She would very much love to have more children with Michael.

On their way home from the park, she realized something. She hadn't taken any pills since she left. They were in her purse, which she left behind in her car. In their reunited blizz, they haven't used any protection. She could very well be pregnant already. After all, they conceived Mike on their first time together. Her instinctual feelings were both happy and scared.

She brought a test on her way back to the hotel. Here she was now waiting ancient for the result and Michael's return.

.

One hour later she heard Michael's special knock on the door. Just in case, she opens slightly to check before she opened the door fully. She welcomed him with a kiss.

"Hi. Is it over now?"

"Hi. Everything went as planned. Jacob is in CIA custody. We are safe and free from him now. We can now be the family we should be. You, me and Mike."

Sara laughed nervously. "About that. I have something to tell you. We haven't used any protection, so there is a chance I could be pregnant."

Michael looked at her in astonishment, totally blown away by surprise. she saw how his gaze changed from surprise to happiness and full of love. A tiny smile grows wider and wider.

"You are?"

"There is a possibility. I wanted to wait for you before I found out. I took a test, but I haven't checked it yet. I wanted to do that together. How do you feel about this, if I am?"

"I always pictured us with more than one child in my dreams. even if I am a bit shocked by this surprise at this very moment, I would be thrilled to have another child. Let's find out."

Sara took his hand and together they went to check the test. Sara grasped. "Oh, it's positive. I am pregnant. We are having a baby."

Michael took the test and looked at it closely. Sara gave away a sob. Michael looked at her. "Are you not happy about having another baby?"

"Of course I am. I'm just a bit concerned about our timing. It's better than last time, but apparently we didn't learn to use protection. What kind of doctor am I to have not one, but two unplanned pregnancies. Not unwanted, never unwanted."

"Well...I didn't think I had to use condoms to protect us from any diseases, as I haven't been with another woman and you was married. I assumed you were on the pills as you said you wanted to wait with having a child with Jacob."

"Yes, I did. But I left my purse containing my pills behind when I left my car. Deep inside I didn't want to have another man's child. Only yours."

Michael's eyes gleamed with warmth. He kissed her.

"Me and Mike got our wish to come true, we got you back. Now it's your time to get something I think you want, to experience the birth of our child, albeit it's our second child."

"All I wanted was to be with you, raise a family, grow old together. Do everything we planned on those nights we were cuddling in the boat in the warehouse. I had so many wishes and hopes while I had to stay away. I wished so much to see you and my child. I wished I could at least tell you I was alive, while I solved how I could get free and still protect all of us. Being with you and Mike is my wish coming true and to be blessed with another child is truly amazing after this nightmare. I can't think of anything else that would make me happier. I love you, Sara. Always have, always will."

"I love you, Michael. So much. So very, very much. I was lost without you. My heart ached for Mike that wouldn't know you. You are an amazing father, you have already made up for a lot of the time you missed."

Sara took Michael's hand and hold it with hers over her belly. "This child will know you from the start and will be the luckiest child in the world."

"Does Mike know?"

"No, I wanted you to know first. We will tell him tomorrow. But he will be ecstatic. You should have heard him, Michael. Our boy is remarkable. He asked me if he was going to have a sibling, now when you are back. He thought you wanted to experience to be a father from the beginning, since you missed it all with him."

"You have done a good job raising him. I don't want him getting jealous, thinking a new baby would make me not love him as much as I would the new child. Just because I am gonna be there from the start."

"Never. Mike look forward to be a big brother. Our love will be enough for everyone. And about Mike, he has more of your genes than mine. That's why he is perfect."

"I'm pretty sure it's you."

Sara gave Michael a look. He holds up his hands in defeat. "Then I would like this child to be like you, a pretty little girl, growing up into a beautiful woman, just like her mother."

"Done deal. I can't wait to tell Mike tomorrow. We need to talk about our future, what we shall do and where we shall live. But now I want you all to myself. Let's make love."

Michael smiled as she took his hand and they disappeared into the bedroom.

The End
