A/N: Sorry it has been awhile. This is going to take a new twist. I don't know why but I was driving to school today and got this idea. Maybe because I have been watching old episodes of As The World Turns and got the idea from that.
Sam and Donna woke up the next morning in each other's arms. For the first time in weeks, they both felt completely relaxed. Donna was home and healthy, their connection, both physical and emotional, was even deeper than before, and they officially shared a daughter.
"Morning." Donna said as she tilted her head up to give him a kiss.
"Hello beautiful. How did you sleep?" Sam asked as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"It was the best night's sleep I had since my surgery." She said smiling.
"Good. Ready for the party tonight?" Sam asked.
"Absolutely! I can't wait to see Jonathan and Davis as well as the girls and Bill and Harry."
They were having a party to celebrate the beginning stages of the hotel renovations, and the Dynamos were going to perform. Jonathan and Davis were coming in for the fall semester to help their father and Donna with the renovations.
"We should probably get this day started, we have a lot of work to do." He said holding her closer to him, his actions betraying the sentiment.
"I do, you don't. I have a little surprise for you." Donna said smiling at him.
"I hope it involves the two of us and this bed."
"I wish. You have been so amazing through everything; I have you scheduled for a 10am tee time at the Swing Golf Course on the mainland, as a little thank you. I figured you could use a guys day."
"Honey, you don't have to thank me. You are my wife; I would do anything for you. Besides, the only guys I know here are Bill and Harry and they won't arrive until tonight."
"You can meet guys there to play with. Honey, you have been stuck in this hotel with me for almost 7 weeks, and a hospital the week before. Have fun."
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" He asked with a raise of his eyebrow.
"Of course not, I just thought you would enjoy it. Plus, you can give me a private lesson tonight." She said rolling on top of him.
"That's really sweet, thank you. I will be back in time to do shower and pick up the boys."
"Well, then, I will wait to take my shower until you get back." Donna said giving him a long kiss.
They eventually got up out of bed, and Donna fixed breakfast while Sam showered. They enjoyed a nice breakfast together while looking out to sea. Sam headed out for the mainland at 9 as Donna cleaned up their breakfast dishes. It would be the first day they had spent apart since her surgery. They both knew it was important for their relationship to have their own interests.
When Sam got to the course he met a guy named Carl. They immediately hit it off and played together. Sam told him all about Donna and the hotel. He invited him to the party that evening for the party, Carl gladly accepted.
Carl didn't tell Sam, but he knew Donna but hadn't seen her in about 19 years. He couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she saw him. He never thought he would see her again, but he was getting his wish. He liked Sam and felt bad for what he was going to do.
Sam got back at about 4 pm and snuck up behind Donna as she was setting the tables out on the Taverna.
"Hello, gorgeous." He said as he wrapped his arms around her and nibbled on her back.
A huge smile immediately came to Donna's lips and she turned around in his arms.
"You're pretty gorgeous even all sweaty. You ready for our shower?" She asked with a kiss to his lips.
"I have been ready since this morning." He said pulling her up to their bedroom.
They undressed each other and stepped into the already running water Donna had turned on once they got up to the bathroom. They immediately attacked one another's mouths, their tongues exploring each other. Sam lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. With one quick move, he placed himself inside of her, rotating his hips with each thrust causing both of them to cry out in pleasure. It didn't take long for them to reach their climax together.
Sam lifted her down and gave her a sweet kiss.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too. Did you have fun today?" She asked as they continued their shower.
"It was good, I met a really nice guy named Carl, we played a round of golf together."
"Are you leaving me?" She asked with a sly smile.
"Not in a million years, but he is coming tonight." He said as he lifted her hair off her neck to wash her back.
"Good." She said and noticed Sam had stopped, and she turned around. "Sam, honey, what's wrong?"
"I never noticed this scar on the back of your neck. What's it from?"
Donna NEVER wanted to tell him about the events that led up to that scar. Then she realized the name of his friend, Carl. No, it couldn't be the same one. She shook that thought from her head.
"Oh, it is just an old diving board accident no big deal. We need to get ready."
Donna and Sam finished showering and getting ready in silence. Donna was putting on a necklace when Sam wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"Honey, did I upset you asking about the scar?"
"No, of course not, let's go." She said with a kiss to his lips.
They went down and met the fairy. They were surprised that the girls and Bill and Harry were on the same boat as Jonathan and Davis. They all had already gotten acquainted. The guys somehow squished into the back of Sam's jeep and the girls sat up front.
"Chiquitita, you're awfully quiet." Rosie said.
"Yeah, trouble in paradise?" Tanya asked.
"No, things are great, better than great. We fall more in love everyday. Sam asked me about the scar on the back of my neck. You know?"
"Oh, OHHHH. What did you say?" Tanya asked.
"I told him it was a diving accident." Donna said.
"Honey, why didn't you tell him?" Rosie asked.
"I never thought I would ever have to, I'm just not ready. He also met someone named Carl and invited him to the party."
That can't be the same one." Tanya said.
"There's no way." Rosie reiterated.
"You're probably right, we're here." She yelled the last part loud enough for everyone to hear.
They all got out and went to their rooms to unpack and get ready for the night. Donna and Sam were both so happy to have everyone there. They were going to tell Bill and Harry about Sophie the next day.
A few hours later everyone was out partying. Donna had relaxed a little and was enjoying the evening dancing with Sam and visiting with their family and friends. Donna went to get something to drink, when she came back she saw Sam talking to someone, the closer she got she realized it was HIM.
As Donna approached Carl was wet with anticipation when he realized it was HER, it was Donna.
"Hey baby, this is Carl." Sam said with a kiss to her cheek.
"Hello." She said tightly.
"It is so nice to meet you, you are just as beautiful as your husband said."
"I'll be right back." Donna said as she ran off to their bathroom and got sick. She never wanted to be face to face with him again.
"I wonder what that was about. I am going to find the girls and have them check on her." Sam said.
When Sam left Carl found her bedroom, and locked the door as she came out of the bathroom.
"Well, well, here we are again, it is time to remember what we had all those years ago." Carl said as he approached her.
"Girls, something is wrong with Donna. I introduced her to my friend Carl and she was cold to him and ran off. She looked frightened. Do you know what is going on?"
"CARL?" Rosie and Tanya asked.
"Yeah, I met him today. Carl Goodwin."
"Sam, we don't have time to explain, but Donna was raped 19 years ago by a Carl Goodwin."
Sam didn't waste a moment.
