PROLOGUE

Sam woke up a little before the sun started to rise. His head still a little sore from the party last night. He pushes himself up, so that he can sit up.

The room is a complete mess. It had Donna's costumes on the foot of the bed and his bag was laying on the floor right beside the door.

"I guess we were in a hurry to consummate our marriage that we didn't even bother to tidy up." He smiled at that thought. Last night was absolutely perfect. Not just the part where they had sex. The wedding definitely had taken everyone by surprise. Even Sam was a little surprised that he did that. However, they wouldn't have it any other way. She was the one. She had always been.

He looks over to his new wife. She looks absolutely breathtaking. She was lying on her back. A thin white sheet was covering her. Her wavy blonde hair was perfectly covering her pillow. There was a hint of makeup still left on her face. Probably because they had been busy doing other things last night. God! She is exactly like the way she was when he had met her all those years ago.

"I can't believe you're finally all mine." Sam thinks to himself. He leans over to kiss her forehead. "I love you so much, Donna. I will never leave you again. Ever." Tears start to stream down his cheeks.

Sam had always been an early riser. He had to be. He ran around Central Park every morning from 7-8. Then, he would rush home to make breakfast for him and his kids. Plus he hasn't gotten used to the time difference between New York and Greece, so that must have been why he had woken up so early. He couldn't complain though. Sam had the most amazing view he could ever imagine, Donna.

As the sun started to rise, Donna had started rise too. "Good morning beautiful." Sam whispered. Donna was still a little taken aback from what had happened last night. "So it wasn't a dream." Donna said as she carefully pushed herself up; making sure she wouldn't show Sam anything she didn't want him to see.

Sam giggled. "I'm afraid it did happen. I'm your problem now."

Donna bursted out laughing. "I can't believe we're married." She said as she examined her wedding ring. "You're here and we're married."

"I know." Sam pulled her closer to him. He kissed her forehead softly. They were silent for awhile. No one wanted to say anything. They just held each other as the sun continued to rise.

Donna looked up at Sam and started to kiss him hungrily. Almost like she was afraid he would get up and leave again. Sam kissed back for awhile. Suddenly, he could feel Donna's tears slowly running down their faces. "Hey." He whispered as he tried to catch his breath. "What's wrong my love?"

"It's just." She pulls away. Sam gently rubs her shoulders to encourage her to open up to him. "It's okay. You can tell me anything." Sam offers a sweet smile.

"I have just wanted this for so long. I can't believe it's actually happening. You're here." Donna said as she started to sob. "This was our dream remember? A villa on the island. Together. We said that we would spend the rest of our lives on this beautiful island." Sam slowly traces down Donna's arms and gets her hand. "I love you so much Mrs. Carmichael." He kisses her hand. Then wipes her tears away. "I hope it's not too late for us to do that." Sam smiles. "Why have you changed your mind?"

"NO!" Donna screams. "I just can't believe I'm your wife. You're my husband." She leans in to give him a kiss. "I'm so happy."

"I am too." Sam slowly kisses her cheeks. Trying to kiss her tears away. He could taste the saltiness of her tears. It hurt him to know just how much he had hurt her.

"Don't ever leave me." She whispers to him as she wraps her arms around him. "I won't ever leave you again my love." Sam replies.

As they pulled away from their kiss, they could hear Tanya and Harry talking from the courtyard. "And that's a sign that we need to go." Donna announced as she stood up. She started to grab their clothes off of the floor causing Sam to pout.

"Don't worry. We're married now. We have the rest of our lives to make love too each other." Donna assured him. "Anyway, I'm gonna go take a shower. You can start placing your things in where ever you wish."

"Really?" Sam asked. "Yes!" Donna replied. "We're married now. Whatever is mine is yours. Unless you'd prefer to sleep in different rooms?" Donna joked.

Donna grabbed a simple red dress from her dresser and headed to the bathroom. Sam then did what he was told. He grabbed his bag from the door and started to unpack. There wasn't much. I mean he only expected to be there for a few days. He neatly folded the shirts and pants he had left and placed it in the bottom drawer of Donna's dresser that was only filled with Donna's hair accessories.

Sam knocked on the bathroom door. "Honey! You wouldn't mind if I placed my stuff in the bottom drawer right?" He yelled. "No I don't. Go right ahead. You can just place my stuff on the table. I can fix it later on." She replied. "Oh and Sam! I'm almost done. Mind plugging the hair dryer for me?" And Sam did just that.

She came out just as soon as he had done what he was told. Donna looked so amazing. She still had not placed any make up on and her hair was still wrapped in a towel. However, she was already wearing the dress she chose to wear for that day. Her dress went a little above her knees. It had a simple round neck that perfectly showed just the right amount of her breasts. It drove Sam crazy.

"Wow" Sam couldn't contain himself. "How did I get so lucky?"

"I think I'm the lucky one" Donna winked. Sam was a little confused by her statement. Then, it hit him. He was only wearing his boxers. Shit! His boxers wasn't really leaving anything to the imagination and his full on erection wasn't helping. Sam looked so embarrassed. The look on Sam face caused Donna to burst out into laughter.

"It's okay honey. It's not like I haven't seen it before." She wrapped her arms around Sam's waist and leaned in for a kiss. However, just as their lips were about to touch, Donna pulled away. "Nice try" Donna said. "You little minx." Sam groaned in annoyance. "Yet you love me anyway." Donna replied as she turned the hair dryer on. Sam kissed the top of her head. "I love you more than I love myself Donna Sheridan."

"Carmichael." Donna corrected. "It's too late to take back your proposal."

"I wouldn't dream of it." Sam replied. "Anyway I'm gonna go take a shower then I need to make a few calls to my kids and to my business partner. I can meet you at the courtyard when I'm done." Sam grabbed a shirt and his shorts.

"Sam?"

"Yes?" Sam stopped his tracks to face his lovely wife.

"How will your sons take the news?" She hesitated.

Oh no! Sam thought to himself. He had mentioned his sons to Donna and Sophie. However, he had not mentioned the little 11 year old he left back at home yet.

"They will love you." Sam reassured her. "Actually Donna there's something I need to tell you." Sam started to walk back to her. Donna at this point switched off her hair dryer to listen to what Sam had to say. Honestly, she was nervous. "There's no easy way to say it." Sam stalled. Donna was getting more and more nervous. "I have mentioned my sons, Nate and James, to you and to Sophie." Donna nodded. "I also have a daughter." Donna's world stops. How can he just forget to mention his daughter? "Why didn't you tell me?" Donna asked. "I'm not ashamed of her or anything. It was just" he paused to think of the right was to say it. "When I mentioned the boys to you and Sophie, it was in the context that they were old enough to take care of themselves." Donna nodded reassuring him that she was listening. "There just wasn't a time to mention her." Sam looked embarrassed. "I was just too caught in the moment with everything. I dont know why I didn't tell you."

Donna was mad of course, but she understood. She took Sam's hand. "You have only been here for 3 days and I avoided you for the most of it. I'm upset of course. You could have just told me. Then again, I didn't ask. And I too was caught in the moment last night. It's okay Sam." Donna smiled then gave Sam a kiss. She led Sam to the foot of the bed then motioned for them to sit.

"I think now would be a good time for you to talk about your kids. You have already met my Sophie, so why don't you tell me about your kids." Donna offered a gentle smile. "Technically they are my kids too now."

"Well my eldest is Nathaniel. Nate as we call him. He's 18. He will start studying Architecture at Columbia University this fall. He's very much like me honestly. Nate looks like me, talks like me and we have all of the same interests." Sam chuckles at the thought of it. "I don't want to tell you too much about them yet because I do want you to get to know them yourself." Donna smiles. "I get it don't worry."

"Okay then there's James. He is 16. Now he is the one that looks a little like Lorraine." Sam can see Donna's face cringe when he mentioned his ex-wife. "However, people still say he looks more like me. James is kind of the jokester in the family. He plays football. Actually he's very good at playing football. His coach says that some universities are already trying to give him offers." Sam says proudly. "That's very impressive." Donna smiles. "Actually both your boys seem to be very good at what they want. What about your daughter?" Sam then lets out a loud sigh. He takes a few seconds to properly think of how to introduce his daughter to his wife.

"I don't think I have mentioned it before, but Lorraine and I got divorced 13 years ago. When the boys were still very young, Lorraine had realized that she didn't want to be just a mom. She started working at this law firm. That's where she met Chris. Long story short, she left us for him when the boys were only 5 and 3." Sam explained. His leg was going up and down and his hand started fidgeting. Donna took his hands. She rested her head on his shoulders reassuring him that it was all okay now. They had stayed like that for what felt like eternity. However, it was only a minute.

"Wait. You said that she left 13 years ago. But I thought you said you had a daughter too?" Donna asked and if she was trying to complete a puzzle. Sam slowly nodded.

"After Lorraine left, my friends and my mother tried their best to set me up. I obviously did not want to. I had the boys to take care of and I had just gotten promoted at that time. I didn't have time to date anyone, but they were persistent. Then I finally agreed. The woman they set me up with was so terrible. Probably the worst date of my entire life. Her dress caught on fire. The waiter dropped our food on my suit. The wine was just all over the table. It was bad." Donna and Sam giggled. "Anyway on the way home from that disaster of a date I had met the mother of my daughter. I met Miranda Priestly."
