After a nurse had brought a crib to put Jake in, Sam kept holding Donna as she slept, continuously checking if she was still breathing, way too scared that if he would have let her go she would have slipped through his fingers another time, when all of sudden he felt her shaking in her sleep.
-No... please no...stop...-she murmured as she shook her head
-Donna...baby?- asked Sam as he gently tucked her hair behind her ear.
-No!- she cried -No please, not him! Don't touch Jake!-
Sam began to worry more and more when he saw how high her vitals were getting -Donna, wake up... It's just a nightmare-
-Jake...- she breathed as she tried to get up.
-Honey, take a deep breath- said Sam as he gently pushed her down
-Lorraine..- she hyperventilated as she shook her head -Gonna take ...Jake...-
Sam's heart broke at her words. He couldn't even imagine all she had went through and all because of his ex wife. -Everything is fine, baby. You both are safe. I won't let anything happen to the two of you... I promise-
In that moment the doctor ran in, followed by a nurse -What's going on?!-
-I don't know- said Sam, clearly panicking -I think she is having some kind of PTSD..-
-Her blood preassure is extremely high!- said the nurse as she looked at her vitals but Sam immediately shook his head before she could go on-No, please! She is has been traumatized enough! Just... give me a second... I promise I'll get her calmed down-
The nurse looked at the doctor as he nodded -Five Minutes. If you won't calm her we'll sedate her, it's way too dangerous-
-Donna, Look at me- He whispered as he cupped her face in his hands -Everything is okay, baby. She is not here. She'll never be near to you again...Take deep, nice breaths...- he said when he saw how she still wasn't able to breath.
He didn't think about it twice: he closed his eyes and pressed his lips against hers, melting in a slow kiss.
Once they moved away, Donna finally started breathing again as she pressed her forehead against his -I'm... I'm sorry-
Sam softly wiped away her tears -You have nothing to apologize for, sweetheart. It's okay. I am here. You are not alone in this, sweetheart-
Donna gave him a weak smile and was about to say something but Jake started crying from his crib.
She instinctively sat up in a second, in order to get him but immediately regretted it when she felt a sharp of pain in her chest -Shit...- she murmured
-Donna? Are you okay?- he asked as he got up and, after helping her down again, he took Jake in his arms, glad that he immediately calmed down.
-Mrs Carmichael?- said the doctor as he got into the room to check on her.
-I'm okay- she breathed with her hand still holding her stomach -I just sat up too quickly-
-You have to take it easy. You have two broken ribs and are still obviously weak due to all the time she has kept you in there. No quickly movements, no physical activity...
-So that means for awhile I won't have my beautiful wife singing and dancing all over th island?- whispered Sam in her ear making her laugh
-... and rest as much you can!- ended the doctor
-That's what she'll do- said Sam with a kiss on her head as Donna looked at the doctor -So, this means we can go home?-
The doctor nodded -That's right. I'd like to keep you in today too but, if everything looks fine, we'll relase you tomorrow morning-
-That would be perfect- smiled Donna tearfully looking at her boys...
