As Sara pressed the needle slightly into her arm. She felt a tingle run up her spine Her eyes widened, It only meant one thing….

"Sara!"

Slowing turning around, she spotted Michael running towards her

"Michael." Sara whispered softly, Sara quickly pulled the needle out of her arm dropped it on the floor and couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Michael raced over to her, and took her arm in his hands "Sara…What did you do?"

"I…I'm so s…sorry." She managed to stammer through her tears

He looked down to the needle and blinked a few times in uncertainly. "You didn't take any?"

"No…You stopped me before I could." She cried, her tears falling from her face onto his tattooed arm.

"Thank god." Michael gasped as he wrapped his arms around Sara's body "Sara what the hell were you thinking? "I dunno know" She sniffed "I just needed an escape"

"Which would have resulted you dying at our daughter's grave!!" Michael exclaimed

Sara did not say anything expect cry in his chest muttering "I am so sorry" "I am so sorry " Michael could only clam her down by soothing her by whisper sooth things in her ear

After a while Sara pulled away "What are you doing here anyway?" she asked with a croaky voice. Aren't you supposed to be getting married to Becky right about now?"

"Yes, supposed to be getting married, But that doesn't matter right now. What matters is that I'm here – with you." Michael said, looking down at Sara wiping a tear off her face

Sara's heart began to pick up speed, and she felt her breaths become quicker. "I'm sorry? I-I mean why? How? What?" she stumbled,confused.

"Sara…do you believe in fate?" he asked, ignoring her questions.

She looked at him like he was insane. "Michael…what are you getting at?" she inquired, getting more confused by the second.

Michael continued to ignore her statements. "Fate exists, but it only takes you so far because once you're there, it's up to you to make it happen," he said softly, caressing her cheek.

He then leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. Sara was surprised at first, but then her eyes instinctively closed as he deepened it. The kiss was soft and gentle; but Sara broke away suddenly, looking at him questionably.

"Why did you do that?" she asked, staring at him.

"Because I don't want to live my life knowing that I'm 35 years old Sara and the best thing that has ever happened to me, already happened ," he replied, staring straight into her eyes.

Tears prickled her eyes once again, but she didn't dare let them fall. "Michael…I can't do this, I was finally moving on with my Life ,people were accepting me as Sara Tancredi the wedding planner not Sara Tancredi the one who left the door open so the Fox River 8 could escape. Then you had to wander back into my life; You know you can't do this to Becky. What's the point of all this? Please just go," she answered stubbornly.

Michael looked away at the ground, ignoring her demand. "Becky…is better without me. She doesn't love me."

Sara scoffed. "So that's it! I'm your second best!" she exclaimed, tears now falling down her cheeks.

Michael started to grow frustrated now, "Damn it Sara!!, you were never second best, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you in the infirmary and I have always had, Becky was who I settled for; it was never going to be you.

"Sara, I know you. You're just afraid," he stated, his eyes remaining on her.

Sara's eyes narrowed. "Why would I be afraid?"

"Because that is another thing only I know about you is that build up this wall, and then you try to hide your feelings behind it. You want to care only about your job, your reputation, and everything you have worked towards in your life so far. It's natural considering of your past at Fox River . It's who you are. But you also think that if you leave with me today you'll be throwing all of that away.

"For once, give yourself a chance to find your happy ending. You've done it so many times before for other people, why not for yourself? I know you care what other people think, what other people say or do; and I know that scares you.

Sara was losing it, and fast. "Michael, stop it! Sometimes when you make big enough mistakes you can't fix them," she said weakly, wrapping her arms more closely around her body.

Michael came closer to her. "I know. I made my mistake a long time ago," he said softly.

Sara bit her trembling lip. "Michael…"

"Shh," Michael whispered, putting his fingers up to Sara's lips. "I never thought we'd see each other again. And the night I proposed to Becky, So many images of you came into my mind. But I thought that Becky loved me, and that was all I really needed. I mean I respected her, but I could never love her the way that I fell in love with you,

Last month has been so crazy; But I know for sure :I am not losing you again" he whispered, pushing a stand of hair behind her ear.

Sara let a single tear fall down her face, but it was brushed away by Michael's thumb. "I love you, Sara. I always have," he added.

As she stared into his eyes, she knew she couldn't deny anything any longer. She was so stupid in trying to deny her feelings, when she knew they were there all along. Her voice was quiet and feeble, but she let the words escape her lips. "I love you, too."

Michael smiled as his hands dropped from her face and slid down her arms. Her breath caught in her throat and butterflies arrived in her stomach as he inclined his face towards hers. It was no less than two seconds when his lips were pressed up against hers. She accepted the kiss more this time; happy that she could finally kiss him without worry or despair. Her arms wrapped around his neck as his around her waist. The kiss was soft and gentle; just perfect for them. It was soon broken however, by a snowflake dropping on Sara's face.

She looked up into the sky and saw more snowflakes beginning to fall. She smiled as she looked at Michael Knowing that after five years and 280 weddings she found her happy ending.

This I Promise is the last chapter ever ok

Until then
