Chapter One (Welcome Backs and New Arrivals)

"So, why did you all decide to come back to KaloKairi for holidays then?" Donna asked as she sat around the kitchen table with her husband Sam and their friends Tanya, Harry, Rosie and Bill. "I don't know we are all rather spontaneous" Harry laughed. "So what's been going on here?" "Not much"

"Have you heard from Sophie and Sky lately" Sam smiled turning to look at Donna. "Well yes, and we have some quite big news from them" She said. "Quite big, it's massive" Sam argued. "Spill" Tanya demanded. "One, and probably the biggest, Sophie is eight months pregnant"

"Pregnant!" Everyone shouted. "So you are going to be grandparents" Rosie giggled. "Don't. That word makes us feel old."

"Wait. Technically, me and Bill are going to be granddads too" Harry said. "Thanks harry, I really needed that" Bill scoffed smirking.

"What was the second news" Tanya remembered. "Oh that Sophie and Sky are moving back to KaloKairi after the baby is born."

"That's brilliant" Bill said. At that moment, the phone rang yet quickly stopped. "Donna it's for you"

"That's surprising; after all it is my Hotel. Thankyou anyway Pepper"

Donna took the phone from Pepper and started listening. "Oh Sky!" Everyone stared. "Sky I am putting you on speaker, Rosie, Bill, Harry and Tanya are here and they know about the baby"

"Hi everyone" Sky laughed. "The baby is why I called. It was born two days ago" "Wow" Donna shouted. "Yeah and she is such a little cutie" Sky said proudly.

"A little girl, that's fantastic. Has she got a name yet?" Sam asked. "Yes, we decided on calling her Savannah."

"That's a beautiful name" Donna said taking Sam's hand. "So, Sophie and Savannah are at home now and doing brilliantly. Oh, and we are moving back next week as we have already sold the flat. Is that ok?"

"Yeah that's super; we cannot wait to see you all. Say Concrats to Sophie from all of us will you"

"Sure. I will try to send you a picture of Savannah over the computer, if I can ever figure out how. I might have to ask Sophie to show me how to do that again"

"See you soon Sky" Donna laughed.

"Ah, an adorable little girl" Rosie smiled "I wonder if Ali and Lisa now yet?" "Probably"

"Right boys, we have one week to transform Sophie's old bedroom into the perfect family room. We need paint, a baby cot, a toy chest, and a changing desk." Sam said getting up.

"And we can leave the girls in charge of getting bed sheets and other little decorations" Harry said.

"Right then. To the Fernando to the mainland" Bill laughed. "Why can't we just take the ferry" Harry complained.

"Because the ferry does not leave until 9.00 tomorrow morning" Harry groaned. "Darn. I hate your boat." "So bad Harry" Bill laughed. "Here's the deal, I will go on your boat, but I will not help you or Sam sail it"

"Fine Harry, just get moving"

Hours later, the three men returned with bags with paint – Greek cream for the main part of the room and pale pink for Savannah's corner, and a lot of flat pack furniture.



"Good luck putting all of that together folks" Tanya said as soon as they arrived back at the villa. "Oh, you girls are helping us." "But we need to go shopping for decorations and bed sheets as you send earlier. "

"Ah, but we will not need those things until the Furniture is put together." Bill Insisted. "Alright Bill, you have beaten us on that one. We better get a move on."

Within hours, all the walls are painted perfectly Greek cream and the men were already confused by the Flat pack baby cot.

'Ring Ring' "I'll get it" Donna said before anyone else could.

"Hello" She said. "Mum" "Sophie, how are you darling?"

"I'm fine, tired but fine. I cannot wait to see you all again"

"I cannot wait either, and you know how bad I am with patience. How is Savannah?" "Oh, she is great, she keeps me and sky awake at night but I would not have it any other way"

"Yeah, so what time does your ferry arrive?"

"1.00 On Saturday. We are going to take up most of the space, I swear. We have somehow got to get the entire content of a flat from New York to KaloKairi."

"I bet, I better get going. See you, Sky and little Savannah on Saturday."

"Can't wait, see you soon. Bye" Sophie Laughed. "Bye, Sophie"

Donna wandered back to find the bottom of the cot nearly complete. "I think we are getting the hang of this" Sam said. "Who was on the phone?"



"Sophie" "Oh, is she doing alright?" Yeah, she said Savannah is keeping them up at night, but she is loving it. Their ferry comes at 1.00 on Saturday"

"We better get move on then"
