Donna´s mouth fell open when the thought of having her death daughter´s fiancée sat next to her sank into her mind.
"H-hey"
"Hey" Sky smiled "He´s gorgeous"
A heartfelt smile bloomed on her lips, as those words lifted her motherly heart.
"I didn´t know you were pregnant. When was he born?"
"Two weeks ago"
"Why didn´t Sophie tell me? Where is she? Is she ok? Is the baby alright?"
Hearing her name, made a lump strangle Donna´s throat. As tears formed in her eyes, she fought to put the only question that was lingering in her mind. But it wasn´t until tears started flowing down her cheeks that the word left her lips.
"B-Baby?"
"Yes, she was pregnant when I last saw her a month ago. Please don´t tell me she did it"
"Did… what?"
"Go to have the abortion"
Donna´s heart suddenly stopped.
"Abortion? Sky, what are you talking about? My daughter wasn´t like that. I raised her better than killing her own child. She wouldn´t do it, the same way I didn´t"
"I know Donna, it was me who asked her too"
"You asked her what?" she hissed in a low angered voice.
"I´m sorry. I got confused… and scared. I didn´t meant to threaten her, or pull her away"
"Oh my God"
"I just wasn´t thinking. I didn´t mean it. Where is she? I need to talk to her, please. Before…"
"Before what, Sky? You… You…" her voice faltered.
"Before she does it. I don´t want her to"
"She wasn´t pregnant"
"W-Wasn´t?" he stuttered, scared.
"It´s too late" she whispered shaking her head.
He just looked inquisitively at her, in despair.
"She´s dead. My baby girl is dead" Donna broke down crying "She died the day Athos was born"
"What? But… how?"
"A car… hit… her"
"Oh, my God. I don´t believe it. Soph…" he shocked.
"Get out of here" Donna yelled, unable to control her tears.
"But Donna…I just…"
"Get the fuck out of here. Now"
He could see she was shaking and knowing she was carrying her newborn son, Sky didn´t want to upset her more, when de knew her outburst was due to the deep pain in her heart. He slowly stood and started walking away.
Still shivering, she held Athos tightly against her chest. And he started to cry.
"Sssh, don´t cry my sweet boy" she smiled, wiping her tears and rocking him in her arms lovingly.
"Sky" she called "Wait"
He turned to look at her.
"Give me a minute to change his diapers and I´ll be back"
Seeing him nod, she walked back into the Villa and into her son´s nursery to get him cleaned up.
She got a bath ready for him and washed his body, whilst the feeling of having her child so close helped to heal the wound.
"Now you´re all clean and you smell like a teddy" she giggled and kissed his stomach "I love you my little baby"
"And I love you" Sam whispered into her ear, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
"Baby, you scared me" she jumped and giggled, turning her face to place a delicate kiss on his cheek. "When did you get in?"
"A few minutes ago. The door wasn´t closed"
Dressing him up, Donna then laid him down into his coat.
"Sleep time, my handsome prince"
"Oh, now he´s the handsome one? I´m jealous"
She turned around in his arms and kissed him tenderly, resting her hands on his chest.
He responded, tightening his arms around her slim waist to pull her closer.
She smiled, not breaking apart of his lips and their gentle kiss slowly grew urgent and passionate.
She groaned, breaking apart slowly when he unzipped her jeans.
"Baby, I…"
"Does it still hurt?" he sighed.
She stroked his cheek lovingly.
"Just a bit"
"So you don´t want to try yet"
"I do, believe me I do. You are the only one in my thoughts and in my heart"
"I like that"
"Cool, because it´s true"
He smiled pulling her closer.
"But now I´ve to go and see Sky"
"Sky? What?"
"He just… He… Oh, I have to tell you later…"
She runs away and started crying again, stopping half the way there.
"Donna" he called going after her.
She took a deep breath, trying to compose herself and angrily wiped her tears away.
"Stop crying, that´s not going to bring her back"
He finally got to Donna and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.
"What´s wrong baby?"
"Nothing" she sighs "Nothing I can do something about"
He places his finger under her chin and lifted her face to meet her gaze, kissing her softly.
"I love you Donatella Carmichael, so much"
She smiled and responded to his kiss, wrapping her arms around him and deepening it.
Sam spun her around, pinning his wife against the wall and kissing her passionately.
Donna broke apart slowly, biting his lower lip when she couldn´t help the soft moan that escaped her lips.
"What is it about you that you´re irresistible?" she whispered, placing a seductive kiss on his neck.
"You´re torturing me woman" he groaned.
"Good, then you can have revenge later"
"I will" he smirked, leaning to kiss her again, but she put her index between their lips.
"I have to go"
"Where to?"
"I told you already. Please"
"Ok" he sighs "But don´t be long, I will be waiting" he whispered squeezing her butt and making her squeal.
"Don´t do that" she giggled.
"Why not? I like it and it reminds me you´re mine" he smiled doing it again and kissing her neck. She laughed and squealed again.
"I am, I am. Always and forever. Just stop" she said still giggling.
"Fine, baby fine" he smiled with a peck on her lips.
Looking up at him, she instantly melted at the sight of his handsome smile. It was as if, for that brief moment, he could completely straighten her shaken up world. Smiling back sweetly she took his hands and hers and placed them over her heart.
"How do you do to make me feel like this?"
"How?" He asked kissing her nose.
"Happy… and safe"
"Ok. I give you ten seconds or I´m going to kidnap you woman"
"No, don´t" she giggled running away and blew him a kiss.
He leaned on the wall watching her disappear and stepped back into their son´s nursery.
Walking slowly down the stone steps and twirling her hair around her finger with a happy smile, Donna walked to the beach to find Sky. She didn´t know or understand why, but her husband always had that magical effect on her of blowing all the gloom… away.
"Where would I be without you baby?" she whispered lovingly, sitting down next to her daughter´s fiancée.
"What?" he asked looking up to her.
"Nothing. Sorry" she replied shaking her head.
He nods "I´m sorry to… I never… planned all this to happen… I…"
Donna slid her arm around his shoulder, protectively.
"I understand. You didn´t know"
"I came here to marry her… I did want to raise our child together, and now…"
Donna sighed and took a deep breath to help herself from breaking.
"And now she´s… gone" he finished when his voice faltered and he hid his face between his legs, staying silent for a long while.
She just held her legs against her chest and rested her chin o her knees, staring at the waving sea and the fading sun, and as if she was there inside, she could feel how the water, minute by minute, drowned her sore motherly heart.
After a long silence, she suddenly fell back to reality and realized she had been heavily crying her heart out.
"I just want to know what happened with our child"
Donna sighs.
"I know. I wish I could… answer that. But all I know is… that she didn´t come back pregnant"
Not raising his head to look at her, he started crying.
"Come on, you need to take a shower and calm down" she said gently, grabbing his arm.
Nodding, he stood and followed her into a guestroom.
Lost in her thoughts, Donna walked back to her room and leaned against the door, wanting to relax a little before walking back to her husband. She knew he could raise her up when she was feeling crap, but it was unfair to her loving husband to break down on him once… and again… and again… and again.
She wrapped her arms around herself and smiled at the thought that the most perfect man she ever knew, the love of her life, was waiting at the other side. She squealed when the door opened and she fell straight into his arms.
"What are you doing here sweetheart?" he smiled lifting her up.
"Thinking of you, handsome" she smiled snaking her arms around his neck.
"Oh, I´ve waiting for you Mrs. Carmichael"
"Is there something for me inside that room?"
"Yes, there is. Just don´t tell my wife"
"You´re a bad man" she giggled as he carried her in.
Anyone wants to know what´waiting for her in there? :P I still have a few aces under my sleeeeeve! Review and all will be revealed...
