Sam and Donna laid wrapped in each other's arms in silence for several minutes. Donna shifted her weight as her muscles were still sore from being thrown around and man-handled. Sam looked down in her face and lifted her chin with his finger.

"Babe are you okay? Did I hurt you?" Sam was afraid that maybe she was still too sore from the night before, and didn't want to cause her any more pain.

Donna smiled and leant up to give him a loving kiss.

"Of course you didn't hurt me, you could never hurt me. My muscles are still sore and stiff from last night."

"Do you want one of your pain pills?"

"No, being in your arms is the best medicine." Donna said with a smile on her face as she laid her head back down on his chest.

"We should probably get up and go meet everyone at the Taverna for dinner. I know the Dynamos want to see you, and we still need to tell all of them about Sophie-her paternity and being pregnant." He said wrapping his arms tighter around her, his actions betraying his words.

"Yeah, you're right. I never feel so happy as I do when I am wrapped up in your arms. But, it is time to get back to the real world. Before we do, I think I need a shower. You know anyone who might like to join me, Mr Carmichael." Donna said placing a passionate kiss on his lips.

"You know what, Mrs. Carmichael? It just so happens that I do. As long as you don't mind it being me." Sam said flirting back.

"You are the only one I will EVER want wash my back."

Sam and Donna both sat up in bed.

"Well, then, let's go." Sam said standing up.

Donna reached out for his arm and pulled him back down as she wrapped the sheet around her.

"Wait, before we go take a NICE, LONG shower, there is something I need to tell you. Something I need you to know."

Sam reached for his boxers and put them on and turned to face Donna, taking both of her hands in his.

"What is it, Babe?"

"Earlier today you said how you were afraid that your touch would make me remember him and what he did to me all those years ago and what he tried to do to me last night."

Sam looked down.

Donna tilt his head up and continued, "There is NO WAY I could ever mistake your touch for another mans' touch. You are the only one who wakes my body and soul up. Whenever I look into your eyes; I see our past, present, and future. You make me feel like the luckiest and most loved woman in the world. Sophie once asked me what love was, and I told her it was more than passion and sparks. It was feeling incomplete when you are apart, and complete when you are together. You are the other half of my soul. I felt incomplete for 21 years, and now feel complete. Thank you for being with me through this latest hurdle and for loving me."

Sam just looked at her, he couldn't talk, he couldn't breathe. He was completely overcome with love for her.

"Sam, baby, say something, move, you're scaring me."

Sam was so overcome with emotion, he responded the only way he knew how to. Sam grabbed her face in both of his hands and kissed her with all the love he felt for her. Donna met his kiss with equal passion.

Donna was the first one to pull away and leaned her forehead against his.

"At this rate we are never going to get out of her." Donna said with a smile.

"Donna, I love you so much. Whenever I look at you, my heart start to feel better. My body is unconsciously drawn to yours, I just have to touch you, make contact with you. Because, I too, feel empty and incomplete whenever were apart."

Sam swept her tears away with his thumb.

Donna gave him a kiss of pure love.

When the kiss ended Donna said, "Now, Carl is behind bars for now, I am healing from the surgery and last night, Sophie is your daughter, Jackson and Davis are here, and we are going to have a grandbaby. I say we move on with our future with love."

"That is a a wonderful idea. I also think we need to carry out with your previous brilliant idea."

"Yeah? Which one is that?" She asked playing along.

Sam walked over to her side of the bed and picked her up, "We need to save water and shower together."

Donna wrapped her arms around his neck and started laughing as she laid her head in the crook of his neck.

Donna and Sam took a LONG, HOT, PASSIONATE shower. They both enjoyed washing each other, and relishing the feel of the others' hands washing their own body. Donna didn't want to leave the warm cocoon of the shower, but they eventually did.

Donna walked out into the bedroom in her robe drying her hair with a towel. Sam followed her in his towel and wrapped his arms around her waist kissing her neck. Donna leaned her head back onto his shoulder and stroked his cheek with her hand.

"You know-" Donna began.

"Yes?"

"I don't know how much water we actually save when we shower together." She closed her eyes as he nuzzled her neck.

"It's worth the extra water, isn't it?" Sam asked.

Donna turned around in his arms, "OH YEAH!" She said and gave him a kiss.

"We better get dressed." Sam said reluctantly pulling away.

"Okay."

Donna and Sam both got dressed for dinner. When they were about ready the phone rang.

"Hello." Sam said.

"Hey dad, is everything okay? We haven't seen you two since this morning." Sophie said.

"Yeah, we're fine. Your mom is doing great. We were just on our way to meet everybody. Do the girls and Bill and Harry-"

"They all know about mom. So, we'll see you soon?"

"Yeah, we will be there in about ten minutes."

"Okay, bye dad."

"Bye, Soph."

Sam walked over to Donna.

"You ready?"

"Done." She said as she finished applying lipstick.

"You nervous?"

"Not at all, they all know what happened. This is a happy evening. We are spending the night with our family and friends."

"Okay, Mrs. Carmichael, let's go."

Donna left her new home with Sam feeling complete.
