Love Knows No Boundaries

***********************

Pushing her two best friends through the door ahead of her, Donna slammed it shut and threw herself down on the bed. The Dynamo's performance for her daughter's hen party, had gone surprisingly well and all would have been perfect, if it wasn't for the fact they had turned up. Of all the times for Sophie's three potential father's to turn up, this was not a good one. Not only was it the night before her daughter's wedding, but Donna's fiancé was due to arrive on the island of Kalokairi at any time…

…Moving on with her life, running a business and raising a child, had left Donna with very little time for herself. It wasn't until Sophie had become involved with Sky, that Donna had allowed herself to think about her own needs for a change. That is when she had met Alexander Logan, purely by chance, when the handsome airline pilot had booked himself into Villa Donna, on a short break before his next flight out of Athens. She hadn't been looking for love, but the more she got to know Alex, the more Donna began to fall for his charm and good sense of humour. In between working and long-haul flights around the globe, the Englishman had kept coming back to the island to visit Donna. After nearly two years of long distance phone calls and the odd week spent together here and there, Alex had got down on one knee and proposed to Donna. This type of relationship suited her just fine. She had the companionship of a great guy when he was there and her own peace and independence when he wasn't. The only person not impressed with the relationship, was Sophie. She thought Alex was nice enough, but warned her mother about men like him. The ones that worked away from home a lot, especially pilots, who were sometimes known to have a woman at every stopover…

"What the hell am I going to do?" Asked Donna, now pacing the floor and trying unsuccessfully, to unzip the back of her spandex outfit at the same time. "Why are they here? Why now?" She continued, getting more and more wound up, cursing under her breath at the stuck fastening.

Grabbing her friend by the shoulders, Rosie turned Donna round and undid the zip for her. "Calm down love, we'll sort it somehow." She said, giving Donna a reassuring smile, as she turned to look at her and sighed dramatically.

Shaking her head, Donna wriggled out of the tight fitting outfit and opened the wardrobe door. "There's no somehow about it. They have to disappear. They can't be here." She said, pulling out a midnight blue dress and taking it off the hanger. "Can you imagine it?… Alex, meet Sam, Bill and Harry, my possible baby daddies." She snorted sarcastically, as she pulled on the low cut, knee length dress. "Obviously he knows I have a past, but that's just ridiculous."

Laughing, Tanya poured out three glasses of champagne and handed one to Donna. "Four men… Brings back memories doesn't it?" She said, walking past her friends into the bathroom and closing the door behind her.

Rosie rolled her eyes at their friend's thoughtless comment and watched Donna down the contents of her glass in one. She could only imagine the anguish she was going through, what with her fiancé's imminent arrival for the wedding of her only child and then the added stress of finding three major blasts from her past, in the goat house earlier that day. Rosie hated to see her friend so worked up and promised herself, she and Tanya would do all they could, to help Donna out of this tricky predicament. They had all been friends for too many years to remember and had helped each other out on countless occasions, this time was going to be no different.

"Take it easy Don." Warned Rosie, getting changed herself and watching Donna now knocking back her third glass of champagne. "You know how that stuff affects you and you really should be keeping a clear head honey."

"Clear head?" Asked Donna, pouring out yet another drink and checking her appearance in the dressing table mirror. "The way I feel, I want to drink myself into an oblivion and wake up to find it's all been a bad dream." She finished, turning round as Tanya finally emerged from the bathroom fully changed.

Putting her glasses on, Rosie smiled lovingly at Donna. "Nice idea, but take it from a pro like Tanya, it doesn't always work like that." She said, picking up her own drink and taking a long sip of the bubbly liquid.

Donna slumped down on the edge of her bed and stared down at the clothes littered floor. "I can't believe he had the nerve to show up here. After everything he put me through." She said quietly, trying hard not to burst into tears and ruin her carefully applied, dark eye makeup.

"Now I'm confused…Which one are we talking about?" Asked Tanya, pouring out another drink and frowning at Donna. "Sam, Bill or Head Banger?"

"Sam, you idiot." Donna quickly snapped, standing up just as fast. "Sam Carmichael, the architect from New York." She continued, placing her hand on her hip and pacing the floor once more. "The only man I ever loved. The only man to enter my thoughts every day, for over twenty years…The bastard who broke my heart and left me to go get married."

Nodding slowly, Tanya glanced over to Rosie. "Righttttttttt." She replied, before looking back at Donna, as she stopped pacing and leant against her dressing table. "So what are you going to do about him?"

Staring at the tall brunette, Donna shook her head. "Get him the fuck out of my hotel, along with the other two…Mistakes." She answered, causing the Dynamos to laugh at her harsh response.

********

Making her way through the crowded courtyard, Donna could feel her heart beating just as hard as the thumping music. She had spotted Harry and Bill dancing amongst the party guest and was relieved to see the boys had crashed the party too, allowing her uninvited male guests to blend in. It wasn't until two of Sky's friends grabbed her for a dance, that Donna noticed him, walking towards her. Sam was smiling, purposely trying to make eye contact with her and Donna could feel herself getting angry. Allowing the guys to dip her backwards, she straightened up and quickly moved away from Sam, before he had chance to say anything. The next few minutes became a blur, as Sophie fainted in the middle of the crowd, stopping the party, as people rushed to her side. Scooping her up in his arms, Sky carried her back to their room and laid her down on the bed, followed closely behind by Donna.

"What happened baby girl?" Asked Donna sitting down on the edge of her daughter's bed, as Sky climbed on to sit next to her. "You worried us out there." She added, leaning down to kiss Sophie's head and gently stroke a lose strand of her golden hair behind her ear.

Shaking her head, Sophie smiled up at her mother and reached out for Sky's hand. "I'm okay honestly. I just got a little hot, too much to drink." She answered, entwining her finger's through her fiancé's and shifting position slowly. "You go back to the party. We'll be back out soon."

Accepting her daughter's explanation, Donna kissed her forehead once more and stood from the bed. "Only if you feel up to it darling…Big day tomorrow remember." She said with a smile, before leaving the room and retuning to find her friends.

Finding her backup girls, propping up the busy bar, Donna reached behind it and pulled out two bottles of her favourite drink, ouzo. "Come on, let's get out of here." She said, grabbing hold of Tanya's arm and forcefully dragging her off her barstool.

The three women made their way down to the secluded beach, leaving the sound of the banging music in the distance. She needed to get away, she needed to let her hair down without being watched by her three ex lovers. Seeing their faces, smiling at her, had brought so many memories flooding back to Donna's mind. Memories she thought, she'd managed to forget and lock away, never to surface again. How wrong she was, how very wrong indeed…They all looked the same, including Sam, who had actually got better looking with age. Seeing him again, after all these years made her feel like a teenager again and she hated the fact he could still make her heart skip a beat, whenever he smiled at her. Sam had been the love of her life, the guy she had lost her virginity to, the one she had given her heart to and the man who had broken it, when he left to get married. Like she had told the Dynamo's, there had rarely been a day go by, that she hadn't thought about her brief love affair with Sam and what could have been, if he'd stuck around.

"Is Sophie alright Donna?" Asked Rosie, as all three of them took a seat on the soft, cool sand.

Tucking her legs underneath her, Donna nodded and opened the first bottle of ouzo. "She'll be fine. Too much drink and far too much excitement for one day." She answered, taking a long swig of the stinging alcohol and passing it to Tanya. "Just something else to add to my list of problems." She finished, letting out a small sarcastic laugh.

"Talking of problems…Did you see the way Sam was looking at you when we joined the party?" Asked Tanya, passing the bottle of ouzo to Rosie, before reaching into her purse to find something. "He never once took his eyes off you Donna and I have to say honey, he's gorgeous." She finished, pulling a pack of cigarettes out of her Prada purse and handing one to Donna and Rosie.

"He's also married." Donna responded, taking the lighter out of her friend's hand and lighting her cigarette. "And besides, I'm engaged remember?" She finished, taking a long drag on the cigarette and exhaling it into the night air.

Taking hold of Donna's hand, Rosie peered at her friend's engagement ring and whistled. "Very impressive Sheridan…So what's it like with Captain Logan?" She asked, causing Tanya to choke laughing on her cigarette.

Shaking her head, Tanya took a drink of ouzo, to clear her throat. "Captain Logan…You make him sound like a fucking super hero." She giggled, as her two friends burst out laughing too. "No, but seriously, we want the details…Is he a super hero in the bedroom?" She continued, raising one eyebrow at the thought.

"TANYA!" Screamed Donna, pretending to be shocked by her friend's question and pausing before she answered. "The sex is good, I can't complain…It's just the lack of it. It's often weeks before we get to spend any real time together and it kind of leaves a girl a little frustrated, if you know what I mean?" She continued, inhaling on her cigarette and taking the bottle of alcohol from her friend.

"Oh, I know what you mean." Answered Rosie, taking one last drag on her cigarette, before dying it out in the sand. "Count yourself lucky, I can't remember the last time I got laid."

Both Donna and Tanya started giggling at their friend's confession. It had been a few years since they had all been together, but guaranteed, it never took long before the topic of conversation turned to sex. They were best friends and told each other practically everything and even though they hadn't been in one another's company for a while, they made sure they talked on the phone at least once a week. Sitting here, getting drunk and gossiping about men, made them all think back to the good old days, the days of Donna and the Dynamo's. Things weren't so complicated back then, with the only real big decisions to be made, were based around which club they could get a gig in and make some money.

**********

Waking earlier than normal the next morning, Donna slid out of bed and held her aching head in her hands. She and the Dynamos had got ridiculously drunk last night and now she was beginning to regret it, realising her problem was still there. Donne pulled on her robe and quickly left her bedroom, in search of her best friends. It didn't take her long to make her way up the stairs to the guestroom and crash noisily through the blue wooden door. Surprisingly, Rosie was already up and dressed, leaving Tanya to carry on with her drink induced coma.

"So what's the plan?" Asked Donna, holding her head once more and sitting down on the edge of Tanya's bed. "How do we get them out of here?" She finished, peering up at Rosie, as she dropped two Alka-Seltzer's into a glass of water.

Stirring the fizzy drink, Rosie walked over and gave Tanya a shake. "Come on Mother, time to wake up…Sheridan needs help with some men." She said, laughing as the leggy brunette groaned loudly and sat up.

"Jesus Tan. You look like I feel honey." Donna said, taking the Alka-Seltzer from Rosie and knocking it back. "Get up, we've got work to do." She added, standing up and making her way to the door. "I'll meet you by the bar in thirty minutes."

"Yes boss." Said Rosie, saluting at her friend and watching her leave. "Tanya, you're the expert, what are we going to do to get rid of three men?" She asked, as her fellow Dynamo scraped herself off the bed and swayed towards the bathroom.

Pausing in the doorway, Tanya turned to face her friend. "Well Donna already told them they couldn't stay… If they insist on sticking around for the wedding, we'll have to keep a close eye on them and make sure there's no trouble." She replied, steadying herself against the doorframe. "My instincts tell me, Sheridan doesn't trust herself around Mr. Carmichael… She's not over him."

Nodding at her friends last comment, Rosie knew she was spot on. It had been fairly obviously when Donna had been talking about Sam the previous night and she had noticed her eyes glazing over, whenever she mentioned his name…All those years ago, when Donna had started seeing Sam, she had driven the Dynamos mad, constantly talking about him. She had fallen for him in a big way and it was no secret, she was madly in love with the guy. She had thought he'd felt the same way about her, but when he broke the heart shattering news, that he was leaving, it was the Dynamos that had had to pick up the pieces. Nights out and a lot of flirting with different guys, had seemed to do the trick with cheering their best friend up…

"So what do you suggest?" Asked Rosie, coming out of her thoughts and staring at Tanya.

Thinking for a moment, Tanya turned and walked into the bathroom. "I suggest we get to know Sam a little better and find out what his intentions are with our girl." She answered, checking her face in the mirror and rolling her eyes at her appearance.

"Good idea." Rosie responded, nodding her head in agreement. "How about we invite the guys over for breakfast and start the investigation right away?"

"Let's do it." Replied Tanya enthusiastically, as she turned on the shower and closed the bathroom door.

**********

After meeting Donna by the bar as planned, the Dynamos had informed her of their plan to get to know the men and find out why they were on Kalokairi. She was dubious, knowing it wasn't going be easy to get rid of them so easily, if they were invited back up to the hotel. One of her workers had said he'd seen the three male guests last night, making their way back to a boat moored by the beach. Donna had prayed, that they had got the message that they weren't welcome and had decided to leave. She was wrong. When she'd gone down to check on the beach bar earlier, she had seen the boat still there and three male figures sat drinking coffee on the deck… She couldn't help herself staring at one man in particular, Sam. She didn't know why, after all these years, just looking at him made the butterflies soar around in the pit of her stomach. Not feeling like this around any other man, put Donna on edge. She didn't even feel like this around Alex. The man she was engaged to marry, the man that had made her feel happy for the first time in years, didn't make her feel like she did when she saw Sam Carmichael… What the hell is wrong with me? Donna had asked herself, before turning and making a quick retreat back to the villa.

Agreeing to stay out of the way, Donna had busied herself with the preparations for Sophie's wedding to be held that evening. There was still a lot to do, but she couldn't help thinking about how the Dynamos were getting on with her three past lovers and when Alex was going to be turning up. Instructing Eddie and Pepper to carry out the list of chores she'd prepared for them, Donna made her way back up to the courtyard. Turning the corner, she could hear the loud chattering of her best friends and male voices, as they sat and ate breakfast by the bar. Coming face to face with the party of five, Donna froze as Sam stood and stared straight into her eyes. They were at least ten feet away from one another, but Donna could feel his eyes burning right through her. She was trembling, feeling those now familiar butterflies start their climb from her stomach to her heart. The rest of the group grew silent, just watching and waiting for either Donna or Sam to say something. Neither of them did, as the silence was broken by the sound of someone coming up the steps from the hotel entrance. Turning her head, Donna was instantly hit with a feeling of nausea, as her gaze fell upon Alex.

The rest of the group followed her gaze and it didn't take the Dynamos long, to figure out who the handsome man was. Dressed in his pilots uniform and carrying a large black holdall, Donna's fiancé smiled and walked towards her. She was still shaking, wishing this whole situation wasn't really happening and that Alex hadn't just turned up when he did. Sam didn't know who the man was, he didn't know that Donna was even involved with anyone. Slowly sitting back down at the table with the others, he watched as the man placed his bag down on the ground and pulled Donna into his arms.

"Hello beautiful." Smiled Alex, ignoring the table of people watching them and tightening his hold around Donna's waist. "I've missed you." He added, leaning close and placing a slow, tender kiss on her perfect lips.

Quickly pulling away from Alex's kiss, Donna glanced over at the table and straight into Sam's eyes. "I missed you too…Let's get your stuff upstairs and then I'll introduce you to my backup girls." She added, now looking back at her fiancé and talking his hand to lead him upstairs.

Sam could feel his heart slowly sink, as he watched the woman of his dreams lead a man up to her bedroom… When he'd received an invitation to the wedding in Greece, he'd initially thought it had been from Donna and jumped at the chance of seeing her again. He had soon found out, that this wasn't the case and that Donna's daughter had sent it instead. The daughter, he had quickly worked out could indeed be his, although over a late night discussion with Bill and Harry, it turned out one of them could also be her biological father. Now it all made sense. When he'd left Greece twenty-one years ago, Sam had left his heart with Donna. He was head over heels in love with the young blonde and had decided to act like a man, flying back to New York to tell Lorraine he couldn't marry her. Returning to Greece a short while later, Sam had been shocked to discover that the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, had moved on and was off somewhere with another guy. Sad and rejected, he'd then returned to America and to his surprise, Lorraine had taken him back. They had married soon after, but deep down he wasn't happy. His heart belonged to another woman, a woman he'd last seen on the little island of Kalokairi…

**********

Walking into her bedroom with Alex still holding tightly onto her hand, Donna felt unbelievably strange. She should have been happy to see her fiancé after two weeks apart, but the more she thought about the sad look in Sam's eyes, when Alex had kissed her, the more confused she became…Why was Sam here and why was she letting him mess with her head? He was a married man, that had made his choice years ago and now when she'd finally thought she'd found happiness again, Sam comes back to throw a spanner in the works. But why? She still didn't know why all three of Sophie's potential fathers were here. Was is just some hideous trick of fate? Or was there more to it? One way or another, she wasn't impressed and needed to free her mind of thoughts of Sam before things got complicated…

Donna was brought out of her daydream, by the sensation of Alex wrapping his arms around her slender waist and showering her neck with hungry kisses. She knew full well what he was doing, he was wanting to make up for lost time. Closing her eyes, Donna snaked her arms around Alex's neck and tried to push the thoughts of Sam aside. Before she knew what was happening, her fiancé was guiding her back onto the bed and climbing on top of her. Donna kept her eyes closed, desperate for the visions of Sam's face to disappear, so she could relax and concentrate her attention on Alex.

"It's been too long beautiful." Whispered Alex, positioning himself between Donna's legs and slowly hitching up her blue sundress. "Far too long."

Responding to his kiss, as he placed his mouth over hers, Donna moaned softly and tried to get in the mood. Alex's kiss was becoming more deep and urgent, as he slid his tongue forcefully into her mouth. Their breathing quickened, as Donna trailed her hands down her fiancé's back and he started to reach for her underwear. She could feel his erection staining to be released against her inner thigh and he moaned into her mouth, as she spread her legs further to accommodate his weight. All was progressing as expected, until Donna thought back to a few minutes ago in the courtyard. He was there again, running through her mind, consuming her every thought.

"Alex, I can't… I'm sorry." Breathed Donna, breaking from their kiss and tensing at the sound of him undoing his belt buckle. "I've got so much to do." She continued, as Alex stopped and stared into her ocean green eyes. "The wedding is only a few hours away and there's the food to sort out, the flowers…" She rambled on, thinking of all the plausible excuses she could, so she didn't have to make love to him right then.

She hated lying to him, but the truth was, she really couldn't make love to him when all she could think about was Sam. It wasn't fair and it wouldn't be right, just laying there going through the motions, all the while she would be imagining it was another man turning her on. Donna couldn't believe seeing Sam again, could have this effect on her. It shouldn't be even possible that she should still have feelings for him, when he'd treated her so badly. She needed him to leave and never come back, if she had any hope of keeping hold of her relationship with Alex.

"I understand Donna." Said Alex, feeling a little dejected, as he kissed her lips and slowly pushed himself up off the bed. "I'll take a shower and meet you downstairs if you want? Give you a bit of time to sort things out." He finished, smiling at her, before pulling off his tie and unbuttoning his shirt.

Standing up from the bed too, Donna rearranged her dress and ran her fingers through her golden waves. "Thanks honey." She said with a smile, leaning close to place a sweet kiss on Alex's lips. "I promise, when all this is over, I'll make it up to you."

Sighing, Alex watched his fiancé leave the room in a hurry. "I'll hold you to that." He said to himself, before turning and walking into the bathroom.

***********

Running into the now busy courtyard, Donna glanced over to the bar and was relived to see the Dynamos, now sitting there alone. Clearing her throat, she took a seat between her friends and reached for Tanya's mug of coffee. She was still shaking and her two best friends were both smirking at her, noticing the beads of perspiration on her chest.

"Yuck, what the hell is this?" Asked Donna, after taking a sip of Tanya's coffee and nearly spitting it back out.

"Coffee Sheridan…With a shot or two of brandy." Replied Tanya, giggling as her friends both pulled a face at her. "But never mind that…I take it Alex was more that happy to see you." She added, smirking once more and taking her hot drink off Donna.

Sighing deeply, Donna rested her elbows on the table in front of her and held her head in her hands. "Yes he was… But I couldn't get into it." She said quietly, before looking back up at her backup girls. "I left him taking a shower. More than likely a cold one." She finished, shaking her head and sighing once more.

Narrowing her eyes at the blonde, Rosie leant forward and took hold of her hand. "Why Donna, what's wrong? You can tell us…What is it?" She asked, as Tanya leant forward too and stroked a loose strand of Donna's hair away from her face.

"When I closed my eyes, all I could see was… him." Responded Donna, her body stiffening just thinking about what happened in the bedroom with Alex. "Sam bloody Carmichael… I swear I'm losing my mind and if I'm not careful, I'm going to lose Alex too."

Briefly glancing at one another, the Dynamos moved closer to their best friend and wrapped their arms around her. They could tell she was scared and confused about what was going on in her head, making her doubt her love for the man that had asked her to be his wife. Their breakfast with Sam, Bill and Harry had been quite an insightful one, listening to how all three men received an invitation to Sophie's wedding, completely out of the blue. The two women had soon come to their own conclusion…Sophie. Donna had told them how her daughter hadn't been too enthusiastic about her engagement to Alex and that she simply tolerated him for her sake. Now it all made sense, Sophie had somehow found out the names of her mother's past lovers and taken it upon herself to invite them on her behalf. Whether she knew her plan was going to work or not, her actions had definitely set the cat amongst the pigeons and put her mother in a very uncomfortable situation.

"Donna, I had a long conversation with Sam." Said Tanya, slowly breaking from her embrace with her friend and staring into her tear filled green eyes. "I think you need to talk to him sweetie…I think you owe it to yourself."
