Chapter 22- The Party

Sam and Phil got out of the limo and were greeted by their colleagues. 'Go on Phil, kiss the bride,' Zain said.

Phil smiled and leant across and kissed Sam on the lips. 'Come on you, we've got a party to go to,' Phil said when he pulled away.

After having the wedding photos taken in the hotel garden, they went into the hotel. Once everyone was in the hotel and sat at their seats. Mickey got up to say a few words. He struck a glass and everyone fell silent. 'Sam and Phil have asked me to say a few words. I've known Sam and Phil for a number of years and I think it's fair to say that they've been through some serious ups and downs. There was a time when they were enemies, during the time that Sam was Acting DI. From day one, there was something special between them and I think they both knew that they'd be together one day. Maybe that day would've come a lot sooner if a certain DS Turner hadn't come along. But in the end they both realised that they were destined to be together, and I'm really glad that they did. I'd like you all raise your glasses in a toast; to the bride and groom,' he said.

'The bride and groom!' Everyone said and they raised their glasses.

Mickey sat down at the table beside Phil as he got up. 'Now seeing as though you're all quiet, I've got a few words I'd like to say. As you all know, me and Sam came very close to being separated when I got stabbed. I'd just like to say that by marrying me in front of all of you today, Sam has made me the happiest man alive. A few weeks ago, we received some good news-' at this point, Sam stood up and Phil put his arms around her. 'Me and Sam are expecting our first child together,' he said.

Everyone around them started clapping and cheering. Jo came over to Sam. 'Why didn't you tell me?' she asked as she hugged Sam.

'We wanted to keep it a surprise,' Sam replied.

Later on, Sam and Phil took to the dance-floor. She put her arms around Phil's neck and kissed him softly on the lips. He put his arms around Sam's waist and gazed into her eyes as the song began to play. It was their first dance as husband and wife.

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you

I'm not alone, tell me you feel it too

And I would run away

I would run away, yeah..., yeah

I would run away

I would run away with you

Cause I am falling in love with you

No never I'm never gonna stop

Falling in love with you

(Runaway- The Corrs)

As the song finished, Sam kissed Phil on the lips and everyone around them clapped. Other couples flooded onto the dance-floor, including Francesca and Dan and Jo and Zain.

Sam and Phil went over to Gina and Neil who were sat by the bar. 'Congratulations you two,' Gina said. 'On the baby and the wedding.'

Thanks Gina,' Sam said as she hugged her.

'Yep congratulations you two,' Neil chipped in.

'Thanks,' Phil replied as he took hold of Sam's hand and led her back to towards the dance-floor.

Phil took Sam in his arms. He smiled at her as another song began to play.

Out of all the boys you're not like the others

From the very first date I knew we'd be lovers

In my wildest dreams my darkest desire

Would I declare to you, your love suits me higher?

Just when we both thought our lives were set in stone

They shone a light and brought us together

We are two in a million

We've got all the love we could be given

If the world should stop we'll still have each other

And no matter what we'll be forever as one

(Two in a Million- S Club 7)

'If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be watching Sam and Phil get married today, I'd never have believed you,' Gina remarked as she watched Sam and Phil on the dance-floor.

'He's got his faults Gina, like all of us. No-one's perfect but Sam obviously brings out a different side to him,' Neil replied.

'They're good together though, aren't they?'

'Yeah, they are,'

Sam and Phil took to the dance-floor for their last dance later that evening. 'This is it, Sam,' Phil said as he kissed Sam softly on the lips.

'No turning back now. Not that I'd want to,' Sam replied.

Phil smiled at Sam as she settled into his arms. The last song began to play.

I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
(Westlife feat Diana Ross- When You Tell Me That You Love Me)

Sam and Phil kissed once more as they left the dance-floor. They had the honeymoon suite booked for that night. 'Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hunter,' the porter said as he handed over the key card.

'Thank you,' Phil replied and the porter disappeared down the corridor.

Sam and Phil entered the honeymoon suite and shut the door behind them. 'I'll just go and get out of this,' Sam said, gesturing down towards her dress.

'OK then,' Phil replied as he kissed Sam softly on the lips.

Sam emerged from the bathroom about 15minutes later, wearing just a dressing gown. Phil was by now in bed, pretending to be asleep. Sam approached the bottom of the bed and dropped the dressing gown on the floor. She went under the bedclothes and kissed Phil all the way up his chest until she reached his neck. Sam lifted up her hand and stroked the side of Phil's face. He reacted to this and turned to face his wife. 'You took your time, didn't you?' he said as he kissed Sam on the lips.

'Getting bored were you?' Sam replied.

'No of course not,'

He kissed Sam on the lips once more and then started to kiss her neck. Phil looked up and smiled at Sam before gently moving himself on top of her. She wrapped her legs around his to ensure that he went inside her. Phil kissed Sam's neck as he went deeper inside her. He then placed his mouth over hers in order to stifle the cries of pleasure that they were both giving. They carried on for what seemed like hours until they both simultaneously climaxed. They lay in each other's arms afterwards, both totally breathless. 'Listen Sam, I've got something for you,' Phil said suddenly puncturing the silence.

'You given me enough already,' Sam smiled.

'I mean the other part of your Valentines Day present. The roses that I sent you this morning were only half of it,' Phil said.

'What's the other half then?'

Phil reached into the bedside cabinet and pulled out an envelope. He passed this envelope to Sam. She opened it and gazed, open mouthed at the contents. Sam picked up the tickets and looked at Phil. 'Are these?' she started.

'Two tickets to the Maldives, leaving tomorrow I thought I'd surprise you, that's where we're going for our honeymoon,' Phil finished.

Sam put her arms around Phil and leant into him. Knowing that he'd support her weight. This had been the best day of their lives. They had both waited years for this day to arrive and now it had been and gone. Sam and Phil were now married and nothing else mattered to them. They'd finally found each other, despite the odds being stacked against them.
