Narrative:

After landing at mdw on runway 4R the tower controller cleared us to turn left on taxiway P, left on runway 4L, back taxi and turn right on taxiway F. Then call ground control when on taxiway F. As we approached runway 31C the PF recognized an air carrier on takeoff. He held well short of the runway. After the air carrier took off, I believe the tower controller said, 'thanks for holding, cleared to cross runway 31C, turn right on taxiway F.' at no time was there any chance of an incursion. We were under control of the tower operator until we were on taxiway F. The controller never told us to hold short of runway 31C.
