Chapter 19 More Surprises!

With the sound of the distant ocean crashing against the rocky shoreline, Sam slowly stirred and opened his eyes to find the morning sun filtering through the open shutters. It was January and still warm, making him feel happy to be on the island of Kalokairi, rather than in the midst of a freezing cold winter back in New York. He turned carefully onto his side and came face to face with his beautiful wife. Donna was already awake, smiling at him, as baby Max slept snuggled up to her… After Sam's romantic proposal on the beach the previous night, Donna had wanted to take the champagne back up to their room and carry on the celebrations in private. Max, on the other hand, had other ideas for his parents. Just as things were progressing nicely for the Carmichael's, their small son decided to wake and scream the villa down, until he got their attention. Knowing her son was restless through teething, Donna returned with him to the bedroom and smiled apologetically at her husband, as she placed a whimpering Max down in the bed between them. That was when the planned night of unbridled passion, had been brought to a sudden end…

Reaching out, Sam gently stroked his thumb across his wife's prominent cheekbone. "Good morning gorgeous." He whispered, as not to wake his sleeping son. "You look tired."

"That's because I am… This little monkey kept me awake most of the night, while you slept on oblivious." Whispered Donna, peering down at Max and gently stroking his soft dark hair. "I can't believe he's a year old today. Where's the time gone?" She asked smiling softly, as she peered back up at her husband.

"I don't know darling, but they're not babies for long." Replied Sam, watching as Donna expertly moved their son away from her, so she could get out of bed.

Watching his wife head towards the bathroom, Sam smiled at the sight of her dark green nightdress, skimming dangerously close just under her naked rear. The bright sunlight was bouncing off her long blonde waves and silhouetted her perfect figure, as she quietly closed the bathroom door behind her… Sam loved to watch his wife get ready on a morning, often resulting in her running late for everything. He had real trouble keeping his hands to himself, sometimes much to Donna's annoyance, when she knew she'd have to start getting ready all over again. Sam had told her it was her own fault and that if she wasn't so irresistible, then he wouldn't have a problem. A quick glance into her husband's sexy eyes and all thoughts of chores, were instantly forgotten.

Kissing his baby son lightly on the head, Sam left him peacefully sleeping and slid carefully out of bed as not to disturb him. He quietly entered the bathroom, finding Donna at the wash basin, brushing her teeth. She peered at him through the mirror and as well as the slight smirk on his face, she quickly noticed the naughty glint in his eyes. Donna's body tensed, as her husband moved up close behind her and caused the tiny hairs on the back of her neck, to stand on end. It was unbelievable, the effect he still had, as Sam pressed himself against her slender frame. Placing his hands on Donna's hips, Sam's lips instantly found the warmness of her neck and the particular spot he knew drove her wild. He planted small, teasing kisses just below her jaw line, near her ear and felt her body start to relax against his own.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa stop." Whispered Donna, closing her eyes as the goose-bumps began to prickle up on her sensitive flesh. "My god… Stop." She pleaded once more, this time a little more breathlessly, as she dropped her toothbrush into the sink.

Words were futile, as if falling on deaf ears. Sam had no intention of stopping, not just yet, he was thoroughly enjoying this much needed closeness between them, which had been disrupted the night before. With one hand sliding around to rest on his wife's flat stomach, Sam moved the other to the outside of her thigh. Donna knew exactly what her husband was up to, as his fingertips then left a scorching trail up to the hemline of her silk nightdress. His lips never broke contact with her soft skin, as he continued with his sensual kisses around her neck and shoulder. Feeling her legs begin to tremble, Donna opened her eyes and tried to regain control of her senses, before her husband could take her too far and to the place where there was no turning back, until they'd reached total sexual gratification.

Wriggling free, Donna turned in Sam's arms, bringing his kisses to an abrupt end. "I said stop Sam. What part of that don't you understand?" She asked in a quiet voice, trying to show him that she was serious. "Max could wake at any second and besides… I'm tired with him having me up half the night." She finished, placing her hands on Sam's bare chest and pushing him away as he tried to continue with the attack on her neck.

Grinning, Sam kept his lower body pressed against his wife. "Well he's a lucky boy. I wish it was me that had kept you up half the night." He replied, smirking as he gazed into her sparkling green eyes and made her fully aware of the arousal concealed in his Calvin Klein's.

"Fuck you Carmichael." Whispered Donna, then gently biting her lower lip, as her hands slid round to her husband's tight ass.

"Hmmm, I love it when you talk dirty." Retorted Sam, springing forward to forcefully suck on her already sensitive neck, making Donna burst into a fit of giggles.

Yet again, the moment was over too soon, as the sound of little Max babbling in the bedroom, brought Sam's actions to a stop. Donna laughed as her husband rolled his eyes dramatically and placed a quick kiss on her lips. She watched him walk to the door and pause to look back round at her. He slowly looked her up and down, his gaze falling on the low cut neckline of her green nightdress, making Donna giggle even more. Even now, after two years together, Sam couldn't resist checking his wife out at every opportunity and thank his lucky stars that the stunning woman before him was indeed his. Donna didn't mind in the slightest. It proved that she still had what it took to keep her man happy, in every department.

"Don't think that this is over." Said Sam, raising his eyebrows in a suggestive manner, as he finally stopped staring at Donna's cleavage.

"Get out." Laughed Donna, picking up the hand towel and throwing it at her husband as he left the bathroom to tend to their son.

Spending the morning on the beach with Max, the Carmichael's had had tremendous fun playing at the water's edge with him and even more so, when they were joined by Sophie and Emma. Everything was so relaxed and perfect for Donna, as she sat back in the sand to watch her husband and two gorgeous children splashing around in the cool, clear ocean. She reminisced back to only a few months ago, when things had so nearly ended badly for her and Sam… Since the birth of Max, one year ago, her life had been thrown upside down with the struggles of raising a baby again. It had been so much easier the first time round, even though she'd brought Sophie up on her own, with no assistance from her father. She didn't know if it was because of her age, or down to the fact that she felt as though she'd lost her independence again, having another little being depending on her twenty-four-seven. Before she'd got pregnant with Max, she'd resigned herself to the fact that as far as kids were concerned, she'd done her bit; she was in her early forties, Sophie was a grown woman with a child of her own and through her marriage to Sam, she'd gained two other grown children. For most women of her age, that would've been more than ample to deal with, but to then have a newborn thrown into the mix, only added to the stresses of her relationship with her husband. That of course was then and now she wouldn't have it any other way. With all their problems aired and a pact in place to communicate, rather then let things escalate, there wasn't a thing she would change…

"Are you alright darling?" Asked Sam, bringing his wife out of her daydream, as he peered down at her.

Looking up at her handsome husband, Donna smiled. "I'm fine." She replied, holding her hand out so Sam could help her to stand. "In fact, I'm more than fine… I'm perfectly fine." She continued, wrapping her arms around his neck and placing a slow, pleasing kiss on his lips.

Sam held her close, his arms snaking around her slim waist. "Oh yes you are." He whispered, responding fully to her kiss and hearing her moan quietly into his mouth, as one of his hands slid down to give her rear a gentle squeeze.

Within a few seconds, their intimate moment was ruined once more, this time by little Emma toddling over, followed by Sophie carrying her baby brother. The Carmichael's smiled at each other as they parted and Sam bent down to scoop his granddaughter up in his strong arms. The small child squealed with delight, as Sam kissed her forehead and then spun her round in the air. Donna took a sleepy looking Max from Sophie and then placed her arm around her pretty daughter. To the outside world, the scene on the beach would have been picture perfect and like Donna had said to Sam, to her, it was too. Little did she know though, things were going to get even better for her and her husband, especially when she found out what Sam had planned for later on.

"I think someone a little sleepy." Said Donna, placing a delicate kiss on the top of Max's head, as he snuggled close against her chest.

"Aww bless him, I think Em's worn him out." Giggled Sophie, wrapping her arm around her mother's waist as they walked back towards the villa. "And vice versa." She added, noticing Emma's eyes closing as she placed her head on Sam's shoulder.

Smiling, Donna kissed the side of Sophie's head. "It's all the excitement." She said, as they all started the climb up the stone steps to the courtyard.

"And there's plenty more of that to come later… Hey Dad?" Sophie giggled, causing Donna to look round at her suspiciously.

Donna narrowed her eyes at her daughter and then looked round at her husband, who was obviously trying to keep a straight face. There she was again, feeling as though something was going on and she was the last to know about it. The past few days had been surrounded by suspicious behaviour, not only from her husband, but her backup girls as well. She had thought everything had finished and Sam's surprise last night been the end of it, but now she knew he was up to something… again.

"What does she mean by that Sam?" Asked Donna, shifting a now babbling Max from one hip to the other and stroking his back.

Passing a sleepy Emma back to his giggling daughter, Sam smiled. "I don't know darling… Let's eat." He answered, then taking Max from his wife and tickling him until he giggled uncontrollably. "I'm starving." He finished, walking off towards the tables by the bar, where the Dynamos were laying the food out.

Standing still for a few moments, Donna shook her head and sighed. Deciding it was best not to get herself wound up again, especially on her son's big day, she then smiled at the sight of Tanya holding out a large glass of wine for her. It was only just after midday, but Donna was already in need of a drink, if she was going to have to put up with her husband's sneaky antics once more. She knew that his surprise last night had been special, but she was worried and curious as to what he had in store for her now… Relax Sheridan, Donna scolded herself, as she walked over and took the glass of crisp, chilled Chardonnay from her friend. It wasn't long before the alcohol started to relax her and all thoughts turned to her gorgeous baby boy and his first birthday party. Max was having a great time, sat in his highchair at the table with his party hat on, as Sophie took pictures of her family.

After most of Rosie's delicious food had been eaten and Max had started to chew on the gift wrap discarded from his presents, Donna made her way to the kitchen to get his birthday cake. She couldn't help the huge grin plastered permanently on her face, as she realised at this moment in time, just how happy she was. With the candle lit, she walked back out to the courtyard and placed the spectacular homemade cake down in front of her smiling baby boy. Everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to the small tot, who then blew out his candle with the help of Sophie. Smiling at his beautiful wife, Sam topped her glass up with more wine and then sat down on a tall barstool nearby, to sip on his own drink. He too was reflecting on the landmark in his son's life and wondering if it was even possible that life could get any better than this.

"What are you thinking about?" Asked Donna a tad concerned, as she walked over to join her husband and came to a stop between his parted legs.

Smiling, Sam pulled his wife close and gazed into her sparkling eyes. "I'm thinking… About how happy I am." He replied, resting his hand on the side of her neck and gently stroking her cheek with his thumb.

A huge smile spread across Donna's face. "I was thinking the exact same thing." She said in almost a whisper, as she peered lovingly into Sam's steely blue eyes. "In fact… There is nothing I want more, than to take you upstairs and show you justhow happy I am." She continued, raising her eyebrows at her handsome husband and then leaning in to place a slow teasing kiss on his lips.

Sam responded to his wife's passionate kiss, feeling himself getting rapidly aroused at what she had just suggested and he would have taken her up on her offer in a split second, if he didn't have something else to do instead. Donna had been the one to reject him this morning and now he felt bad for having to do the same to her. Slowly breaking from their kiss, Sam glanced over his wife's shoulder, at her two best friends. Rosie was looking at her watch and Tanya was signalling to him, that they were going up to his and Donna's bedroom. Realising that her husband was somehow distracted with whatever was going on behind her, Donna turned her head to see the back of her friends disappearing through the door of the hotel reception. Narrowing her ocean green eyes, she turned her attention back to her husband.

"What are they up to?" Asked Donna, placing her hands on Sam's thighs and staring intensely at him.

Sam waited for Sophie to scoop both Max and Emma up into her arms and wink at him as she carried them off towards the goat house. The air surrounding the Carmichael's was deathly silent, as they stared deeply into one another's eyes. He was now alone in the courtyard with his wife and took a long sip of his wine before he answered her. Donna's head was tilted to one side and a confused expression had now replaced the cheerful smile from earlier. Seeing Donna like this, so sweet and vulnerable, made Sam fall in love with her even more.

"Come with me." Sam finally whispered, planting a delicate kiss on his wife's lips, as he stood and took her hand.

Following her husband towards the reception, Donna pulled him to a standstill as they walked through the doorway. "Okay Carmichael, tell me what the hell is going on." She said in a demanding tone, well and truly fed up with being left in the dark once more.

"Okay…" Answered Sam, gently placing his hand on her cheek. "Last night, when I asked you to marry me again, well… We're doing it today." He finished, smiling as his wife's facial expression turned instantly to one of shock.

Shaking her head, Donna stared at Sam like he'd gone insane. "What?!" She said, her grip on his other hand slowly slipping. "Are you completely nuts?… Nothing's planned, I have nothing to wear and where are you going to find someone to marry us at this short notice?" She finally finished, without even pausing for breath or answers.

Giggling, Sam took his wife's hand once more and began to lead her up the stairs to their room. "Everything's sorted darling, trust me." He said, stopping as they reached the landing and turning to face her again.

Still in shock, Donna couldn't quite believe what her husband was saying, but all the sneakiness of today fell into place. He looked so handsome as he stood there smiling at her and obviously waiting for her to say something in response. A small smile soon crept onto Donna's face and a wave of relief washed over Sam, when he realised he'd won her over. Wrapping her arms around her husband's neck, Donna pulled him close and placed a slow pleasing kiss on his soft lips. Sam responded fully, moving her backwards to lean against the pale blue wall and never once breaking eye contact with her. They remained like this for a couple of minutes, until lack of air forced them apart to gaze into one another's lust filled eyes.

"Could you be anymore perfect Sam Carmichael?" Whispered Donna, trailing her hand round to the nape of Sam's neck and gasping loudly as he then forcefully pressed himself against her.

"Only when I'm with you." Sam answered with a wiggle of his eyebrows, causing his wife to start giggling at him.

Before they knew what was happening, the Carmichael's had flown into another round of hot, passionate kisses, with hands exploring the contours each other's bodies. Sam's concealed arousal was straining against the fabric of his trousers, making him moan quietly when his wife reached down for him. Now caressing her husband's solid erection through his jeans, Donna was quickly becoming breathless upon hearing his quite moans of pleasure. It wasn't until the pair of them heard the sound of laughter coming from inside their bedroom, that Sam reluctantly broke from their kiss and grinned at his wife's now flushed complexion. He knew this wasn't the time or the place to be doing this, but there was just something about Donna that made him unable to resist her. Just as Sam started with hungry, sensual kisses to her neck, the bedroom door was flung open causing him to look up at his wife's friends with a cheeky grin. As Donna did her best to calm her erratic breathing, Tanya surveyed the scene in front of her and then let out a loud snort of laughter, when she was joined by Rosie in the doorway.

"Down big fella." Laughed Tanya, her gaze coming to a stop on Sam's obvious arousal under his jeans. "Now you know I hate to break up this tender moment, but if you want this thing to go ahead on time, then I'm gonna need our girl." She continued, watching Donna turn a deeper shade of red with embarrassment, as she leant forward and took hold of her wrist.

Sam nodded, as he turned to face his wife. "See you soon sweetheart." He said quietly, leaning forward to place a tender kiss on her lips, before he turned and left.

Dragging their best friend through the door, Rosie and Tanya both giggled as they handed the blonde a glass of bubbly champagne. Donna took it and giggled herself, as the realisation of what was going on suddenly hit her… She was getting married again and once more, it was a total surprise to her. The first time had been a whirlwind of complete craziness and this time it looked as though it was going the same way. When Donna had once discussed it with Sam, she had told him that if they could ever do it all over, she would keep it a small affair, with only very close friends invited. Luckily Sam had agreed that that was what he wanted too and that as long as they were together, nothing else mattered to him… Here he was, the hopeless romantic, always going out of his way to make his wife the happiest woman in the world…

"Right, down that Sheridan… Then get your arse in the shower." Said Rosie, pointing to Donna's champagne flute. "We're under strict instructions to get you down to the beach by three o'clock."

Taking a long sip of the fizzy liquid, Donna shook her head. "I can believe he's arranged all this." She said, noticing a vase full of white long-stemmed rose's on her dressing table and walking over to inhale their sweet floral scent.

Sitting down on the bed, Tanya poured herself a glass of champagne. "With a little help from your friends." She responded, then taking a sip of her drink. "But yes… You have a good man there honey. He's a definite keeper." She added with a snort of laughter, causing her friends to laugh too.

Donna took her time getting ready, wanting her hair and makeup to be just right for the renewal of her wedding vows and wanting to look perfect for her perfect husband. She was just about done, as she tightened her robe around herself and walked out into the bedroom in search of some underwear. Still not knowing what she was supposed to be wearing, Donna glanced at the long black suit carrier, hanging on the front of her wardrobe. Sam had obviously bought her something new to wear and excitedly, she walked over to take a look. The Dynamos were chatting amongst themselves and finishing off getting ready, while already working their way through a second bottle of Bollinger.

"You might need these first Don." Said Rosie, passing her best friend a gift bag with the 'La Perla' logo on the side. "A little gift from us love."

Giggling, Donna unwrapped the black tissue paper inside the cream coloured bag and gasped at the sight of the most gorgeous, yet ridiculously expensive underwear she'd ever seen. She held up a strapless nude coloured silk bra, edged with intricate black lace and smiled at her backup girls. The matching knickers were just as spectacular and Donna knew for certain that her husband was going to love them just as much as she did. Placing the items down on the end of the bed, Donna outstretched her arms to her two best friends and smiled lovingly at them. As far as she was concerned, she had the best friends a girl could ever want.

"Thanks girls, I love them and I have a sneaky suspicion, Sam will be thanking you later too." Giggled Donna, hugging the Dynamos as tightly as she could.

Finally pulling away, Tanya smirked at Donna. "He bloody well better." She said, then laughing as she grabbed the bottle of Bollinger champagne.

Turning her attention back to the black suit carrier, Donna walked over and placed her fingertips on the silver zipper. She held her breath for a few seconds as she slowly opened the front and revealed the most exquisite cream embellished dress. Taking it off its hanger, Donna held it up against herself and turned to face her friends. They both nodded with approval, liking the choice made by their friend's husband. Donna smiled widely and grabbed her new underwear from the bed, taking them along with the dress into the bathroom. It didn't take her long to get dressed, smoothing her hands down the front of the strapless, knee length dress, as she checked her appearance in the bathroom mirror. Liking what she saw, Donna gave herself a quick spritz of her favourite perfume and headed back into the bedroom.

"Well, what do ya think?" Asked Donna, giving her backup girls a quick twirl. "Will I do?" She added, before picking up her champagne flute and downing the last of its contents.

Rosie wolf whistled, as she looked at her friend in the perfectly fitted Carolina Herrera dress and Tanya smiled whilst raising her eyebrows. Giggling, Donna already knew she looked a million dollars, but she couldn't ignore the soaring butterflies that had started to flutter around the pit of her stomach. She was nervous, yet she didn't know why. It wasn't as though she was getting married for the very first time. Thankfully the fizzy bubbles from the champagne she'd drunk, were doing wonders to relax her a bit. Placing the now empty champagne flute down on the dressing table, Donna took one of the roses out of the vase and smiled broadly.

"Let's go girls." Giggled Donna, as the Dynamos jumped up to join her and left the Carmichael's bedroom.

With her hair clipped up, Donna swept a few loose stands away from her face as she walked out into the sun filled courtyard. She took a few seconds to stand by herself and take a few calming breaths, as the Dynamos hurried on ahead towards the beach. Setting off again barefooted, Donna suddenly came to an abrupt stop when she was confronted by the sight of a handsome young man dressed in pale linen trousers and a white shirt, stood at the top of the stone steps. Ben turned to face his stepmother, with his hands in his pockets and smiled at her. His boyish dark looks made him a complete younger replica of his father, making Donna's heart melt at the sight of him.

"Ben!" Squealed Donna, hurrying over and throwing her arms around the young man. "Oh my god, I can't believe you're here… How? when?" She asked, loosening her hold on him and reaching up to stroke his face, with a huge beam on her own.

Smiling back at his mother, Ben placed a sweet kiss on her cheek. "We got here a few hours ago… Been hiding out in the goat house ever since." He answered, with a small chuckle as Donna's jaw dropped. "I missed you."

Pulling her son close again, Donna could feel tears welling up in her eyes. "I missed you too darling. I'm so glad you're here." She replied in a soft whisper and placing a tender kiss on Ben's cheek as she pulled away. "So I take it you're going to give me away?" She continued, smiling as she wiped away a single tear as it fell from her green eyes.

Nodding, Ben held out his hand for his stepmother to take it. Gripping tight onto his hand, Donna took a deep breath as they began the short walk down the uneven steps to the beach. She was still holding onto one of the white roses Sam had left in their room for her and she could now hear the sound of people chatting excitedly on the sand below. Those niggling butterflies began to float around in her stomach again and Donna still couldn't understand why she was feeling so nervous. She was about to reconfirm the love she shared with her husband; the man that had turned her world around for the better, the father of her children and the man that she really couldn't live without.

"You look amazing by the way." Said Ben, giving his mother's hand a gentle squeeze, as they made the short walk across the sand to where the wedding party was waiting for them.

Feeling a smile creep onto her face, Donna scanned the few faces of very close friends and her small family, before meeting the gaze of her gorgeous husband. Sam was looking her up and down as she approached, with a matching smile on his face. The small group parted, allowing Ben to guide his mother between them and straight to his father. Donna turned her head to find Zack holding baby Max in his arms and paused to give them both a quick kiss, before doing the same to Sophie and little Emma. At this precise moment in time, Donna was so happy, that she thought her love filled heart would burst at any given minute. Her family were all together, including the Dynamos and as far as she was concerned, the day was getting better and better.

Finally reaching her husband, Donna took a sharp intake of breath as he pulled her close. "You look absolutely stunning." He whispered into her ear, before placing a delicate kiss on her cheek.

She slowly pulled away, gazing into his eyes, when the vicar in front of them cleared his throat to gain their attention. Sam grinned and reached down to take his wife's hand in his, nodding at the vicar to proceed. The next part kind of passed in a blur to Donna, as the words the man was saying washed over her, when all she could think about was her husband and all he done for her. He seemed to go on and on, explaining the importance of love and respect in a marriage, in order for it to last. After what felt like half an hour, the vicar finally handed the next part over to the groom. It wasn't until Sam turned to face her, that Donna snapped out of her daydream and focused on what he was about to say. Everyone in the small congregation remained silent too, as they listened to Sam begin his declaration of undying love for his wife.

"Donna Carmichael, my wife and my life." Said Sam, smiling as he peered into Donna's fast filling teary eyes. "Darling you will never know, just how unbelievably happy you have made me over the past two years… You have been the most fantastic mother to our children, my companion and my lover…" He paused to give her a cheeky wink, causing the wedding party the giggle at his last reference. "I was a fool to let you go all those years ago and now I have you, I'm never letting you go… You're my world, you're my everything… I love you forever more." He finished, taking Donna's gold and diamond wedding band from the vicar, before sliding it onto his wife's finger.

Taking a deep breath, Donna wiped away her silent tears. She knew it was her turn and for everyone's sake, she had to keep it together. Sam's word's had made a beeline straight to her already swollen heart, making it beat just that little bit faster when she gazed back into his dark eyes. They say the eyes are the window to a persons soul and that was exactly what she was seeing now. He had been completely sincere, keeping it short and simple, yet letting her know exactly what she meant to him. She didn't even think it was possible, but Donna felt herself falling even more in love with her husband, as he stood there holding her hand and looking so gorgeous in his pale trousers and white shirt.

Shifting her weight from one foot to another, Donna smiled. "Well how can I top that?" She said in almost a whisper, making Sam laugh softly. "Samuel Carmichael, you never fail to amaze me… You are the perfect husband, friend and father… Thank you for my four beautiful children and thank you for being you." She continued, turning to glance quickly at her precious kids. "You managed to rock my world many years ago and now you continue to do so… Everyday." She said, pausing to give him a cheeky wink, as the Vicar coughed at what she was obviously referring to. "You have managed to single-handedly, make me the happiest woman walking the earth and there is nothing more to say but… I love you, I love you, I love you." She finished, taking Sam's gold wedding band from the now smiling vicar and placing it on her husband's finger.

Without another word spoken between the pair, the sparks of true love were visible to all there witnessing this second union. The vicar only just managed to proclaim them man and wife again, when the Carmichael's fell into one another's arms and straight into a passionate kiss. Everyone applauded and cheered, waiting for the couple to part before walking over to congratulate them. Both Donna and Sam had tears of joy in their eyes, as they finally broke for air and giggled as their gazes locked once more. The first time round had been unexpected and spontaneous, this time round, Sam had put a lot of thought into it and Donna couldn't thank him enough. After sharing hugs and kisses with friends and family, the Carmichael's waited for them all to make their way over to the beach bar, so they could catch a quiet moment by themselves.

Holding tightly onto his wife's hand, Sam turned and smiled lovingly at her. "We did it gorgeous. Was it how you would've wanted it?" He asked, moving close to gently stroke her cheek.

"It was wonderful Sam, perfect." Answered Donna, leaning closer to plant another kiss on her husband's lips.

"Good." Replied Sam, after Donna slowly parted from him. "Because there is another part to the surprise." He added, smiling as she shook her head at him and laughed.

"Now why doesn't that surprise me?" Giggled Donna, allowing her husband to lead her across the sand to their waiting friends and family.

A.N. There ya go hunnies! So sorry it took so long, but after returning from NYC, I had a lot going on with the family grrrr… Please let me know what you thought. Next update will be on 'Love Knows No Boundaries'… Loads of love, Liv x
