Finally Together

Chapter Two

So, I realize the first chapter was probably a wee bit too sad and rushed (was it?). The beginning of this chapter will be sort of sad because Donna tells Sam about the last 21 years and that Sophie is his. Lorraine is explained in this chapter and the story between her and Sam is different than the movie.

Read. Enjoy. Review.

Picking my head up, I seen Sam standing in front of me.

Easing himself down to sit next to me, he softly said, "Donna please look at me. Are you okay?"

I didn't really know what answer to give him, other than, "Not really. The past 21 years has been rather difficult. Which we ne..ne.. need to talk about."

He hugged me to his side, "Well, I'm all ears."

I took a deep breath before I began, it was always something that was difficult to talk about.

"It started when you left Kalokairi. I was angry and I admit, I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. About 2 months later..." I trailed off because I was nervous about his reaction when I tell him Sophie is his.

"About 2 months later, I found out that I was pregnant with Sophie. I tried so hard to contact you. I called your phone and it was disconnected, I tried to send you a letter, but it was sent back. Then fast forward 7 months later, Sophia Lynn* Carmichael was born, she was a little on the small side, but she was healthy and that's all that mattered to me."

"I'm so sorry, for being unreachable." he murmurred, kissing my temple.

I leaned into Sam and laid my head on his shoulder. I was still weary because of what happened years ago, but it still felt comforting to lay my head on his shoulder.

"My mom wasn't supportive at all. Thank God I had Tanya and Rosie, and later on their husbands, Bill and Harry*. Life was rather uneventful, I focused all my time on Sophie and the villa. It was the same routine day after day. It still is the same. I homeschooled Sophie and she did very well, grauated 2 years ago. Fast forward a couple years, now we're here." I looked up at him before continuing, "What's the past 21 years been like for you?"

"Well." Sam said, "Lorraine and I got married to appease our parents. After a year, we split up and divorced. We were better off friends anyways, then I finished schooling for architectural design and started my firm, Carmichael Design Company. About 10 years later, my company was well known and worth a few million dollars. Since then, I've done nothing other than design buildings and such."

I tensed up at that. Villa Donna isn't worth much, and I've never really been made of money, since my mom disowned me. But nonetheless, I'm happy.

Sam noticed that I had tensed up, and kissed my head.

I was curious as to whether or not he's had any relationships after Lorraine.

As if he read my mind, he said, "Relationship wise, I've kept to myself. I didn't feel the need to have one. You're the only one I have wanted one with. Still want to have one with." He said it softly, full of emotion, love being one of them.

I want him in my life badly, more so than I did 21 years ago.

I told him as much too, "You...you know I love you? Right Sam? I..I've missed you so much and... well, there's really not a way to describe what I want to say."

Pulling me into his lap, Sam folded his hands and then rested them on my hip. "I love you too, darling. More than words can ever say. Although, I do think there is one way to describe it."

The way to describe it, was like how it was when I first met him. Butterflies in my stomach, my cheeks blushing slightly and hitched breathing.

I raised an eybrow in question even though I already knew the answer.

Sam placed his one hand under my chin, and slowly tilted it upwards, "Like this." he whispered in a rough voice.

Then he kissed me. It felt way better than 21 years ago. It started off slow, and it was like something clicked in not just me, but Sam too. The kiss escalated further and it was hot, not the air around us, but the kiss itself.

The kiss was cut off too soon for our liking, when we heard a couple of nosy people, by the names of Tanya and Rosie enter the first floor of the goat house.

"Damn it, they've got horrible timing. Hey, do you remember the thing we did when we didn't want to get interrupted during dot-dot-dot?"

He nodded. Thank God he remembered.

We used to take a piece of white chalk and mark the door with a small 'x' by the doorknob. I just hope that the Dynamos remembered that.

I marked the door and then Sam and I hurried into the old store room where the sheep's food was kept.

It's a good thing I decides to renovate it, into a giant closet/playroom years ago, complete with a couch.

Not more than a minute later, they entered the floor we were on Tanya pointed out, "Red, look over there on the door of the playroom. Is that a white 'x' on the door?"

"OH MY GOD!" Rosie blurted out and then said, "That is an 'x' mark. You know what that means..."

Both of the Dynamos hollered in unison, "Get ya some Sheridan!"

Those two are gonna be the death of me.

We started to kiss, once again, slowly.

Sam pushed me up against the door and the fluttering in my stomach increased ten-fold.

He moved his lips from mine, down to my neck, just behind my ear. The place he knew drove me crazy.

My cellphone started to ring. "Shit. It's probably Sophie. I have to answer this."

Hello?

Mom where are you? Are you okay?

I'm with Sam and yes, I am okay.

Good. By the way, the priest wants to talk to you. He's in the court yard. Something to do with, is there still a wedding.

Sam and I are on our way.

Okay mom

I bit my lip and looked Sam up and down. "Feel like getting married?"

He gave me a toe curling smirk. "To the woman of my dreams? Hell yeah I do!"

Did this chapter turn out good? For some reason it seems weird when I read it.

*I haven't a clue what Sophie's middle name is so I gave her the middle name of Lynn, which is my sister's middle name. I had her last name as Carmichael for a reason (should be explained in ch. 1 A/N).

*Rosie married Bill and Tanya married. Obviously AU and, it's for the sake of storytelling.

The next chapter will explain why Sam is on the island. It's sort of similar to the movie, but different reason.

Anyways, what'd y'all think?
