Magpie and Ferretmania, thank you both for reading and commenting. Let's see what Don has up his sleeve.

Don's lifeline had gone viral days and days ago. I was worried and upset thinking I'd lose one more person that I, as a Watcher, had gotten so fond of. The romantic night he had spent with Dina was a concern. What if one or the other of them didn't survive that passionate tryst? They spent most of the night whoo hooing, so the danger was always there. I guess their state of health from all their gym workouts gave them the stamina they needed. I refrained from interfering for once and just gave them their last night of joy. Or was it? 
Don: This is so peaceful.
Dina: Yeah. See that one? Looks like a rabbit to me.
Don: I could do this with you forever.
Dina: I could do everything with you forever.
Don: Mmmhmmm. So how come we haven't spent more time together like this?
Dina: Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you were so involved with your "job" for the dynasty?
Don: *blushing* I was rather busy wasn't I?
Dina: Was it 20 kids final count?
Don: Errrrrr........say, that one looks like........hey..........I've got an idea.......
*stands up, kneels down*
Don: Dina Caliente, this is something I should have done years and years ago, and now it's almost too late. We wouldn't have much time left together with both our life lines bubbling away, but ......would you consider.......could you consider.........aw heck, Dina, would you marry me at last?
Dina: Don! Oh my dearest, darling, silly romantic Don. I thought it would never happen. Of course I'll marry you, for whatever time we have left.
Don: Are you sure? I would never want to tie you down to something you'd not be happy with. You know our time together is going to be short. I feel selfish wanting to spend it being happy with the woman I've loved for so long.
Dina: Silly man! How many yes's do you need? I'll happily take however many minutes together we have right now, and think about tomorrow....tomorrow.
Don and Dina. Who knew? I thought he was just a play boy, but I had misjudged him. He had signed up as a very young man to do a "job" for the dynasty and his friend, Spring and he had done it well. What we didn't know it was just his fear of commitment to any one person, fear of being rejected by her and the conflict that would happen within their family that kept him from pursuing his deep love of just one woman. Dina Caliente had been his dream girl from day one, and now, in the final days of their lives, they would finally become one. They wasted no time. He didn't even give Dina time to change out of her pjs!
Don: Are you sure? Really sure you want to do this now? No dress, no party, no friends or fancy stuff? Last chance to say "let's wait".
Dina: What, and waste even a minute of our time together? Let's do it.
Don: Dina Caliente, will you take this flawed man who loves you with all his heart, to be your husband for now and forever in whatever time and space we may have together?
Dina: I will! And will you Don Lothario, take this woman who has loved you for so long to be your wife for now and forever in whatever time and space we may have together?
Don: I most happily will.
Dina: With this ring I seal your fate to mine. Like my love for you it has no beginning and no end. It will always be there no matter what life may bring us, no matter what fate has in store. I will be with you till the end of our time, and I promise to make each second a joyful lifetime of love and happiness.
Don: Together at last, together forever.
Congratulations to the happy couple, Don and Dina Lothario! *wipes away tear*
As a Watcher, I debated just letting them ride off into the sunset and we'd never hear from them again. However, they had other plans. Neither of them wanted to spend a second away from each other and certainly did not want to have the time they had left to be spent with a busy household full of young people. So they decided then and there they would take themselves off for an extended honeymoon. With the rules of the dynasty still ringing in his ears, Don knew he could not move out of the house into a house of their own. He and Dina couldn't even move into her house since she had given it to the Caliente kids, and again, because the rules forbade it. But they COULD go on vacation and just stay there, renewing the vacation days as needed, until they weren't needed any longer. So they rented a small cabin, just big enough for two, at one of Don's favorite spots. Granite Falls. They planned to spend their days there together until there were no more days left. Spring agreed to pop in every so often to make meals and see how they were, but she would leave them alone and not interfere in their privacy. My wedding gift to them was a new look for Dina.
Dina: Thanks, W. It's rather nice being watched after all, although I would like to change before our trip.
W: My pleasure Dina. Shall I see you there?
Dina: Nope. It's just us time.
**************************************************************************************************************
Dina: This is really nice, Don. I love this little cabin.
Don: Yep. We have everything we need right here including a well stocked refrigerator thanks to Spring.
Dina: Hey, I know what we should do after dinner! Hurry up and eat.
Don: I have some ideas myself. *waggles eyebrows at her suggestively*
Dina: Later, love. Eat up!
Don: Ok, this was a good idea. Like the morning I finally proposed. Good memories.
Dina: And making more. So nice here. Quiet, beautiful. Nothing beats the fresh mountain air. *hums "Annie's Song"*
Don: Got a treat for my sweet.
Dina: Thank you. I think we may have more treats ahead of us, no?
Don: You are my treat. The sweetest of all.
Don: Thank you, my love, for waiting for me, for loving me, for accepting me just as I am, and mostly for the gift of our life together.
Dina: I love you Don, I always have and always will. Shall we go in?
Don: You sure?
Dina: I'm sure. What have we got to lose?

"Annie's Song" by John Denver:
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
This Watcher's favorite love song.
