Harvey has proposed Donna for about 5 times or maybe more than that up to now. The proposal can happen everywhere and everytime. When they're on the way home, after making out or wherever Harvey thinks is suitable. Harvey also has more than one way to propose her.

"Hey red, marry me? 1 week and a half has passed"
"What is your answer? It has been 2 weeks. I want to marry you!"
"Be my wife? You've got 3 weeks to think about that"

And that's exactly what drives Donna crazy these days. She's kinda obsessed with the word "marry", so she shouts straight to Harvey's face when he said that.

However, let's forget about the proposal now because Donna is facing another problem.

"Holy shit...!"
Donna screamed, loud enough to startle Harvey, who is still resting himself in bed.
"What's wrong Donna? Anything wrong in the toilet?"
Harvey rushs to the toilet with a worrying face.
"N-nothing!"
Donna refuses, quickly hides the thing she's holding behind her back.
"Are you sure? Your face looks flusturated."
"Yah, I'm fine. I guess so."
She replied shortly, and heads to her bed. Chaos are in her mind and it's expolding like crazy. This can't happen, at least not right how. Donna has just found out she is pregnant, and the baby is definitely Harvey's.

Rachel's POV

I was quite surprised when receiving a call from Donna said she wanted to meet me. It's not really strange if it's on the holiday, but this is just a normal day and she suddenly says she will fly to Seattle to meet me.

I pick her up at the station, she looks really tired, which makes me worried.
"Hey Don, how was the flight? You seem exhausted?"
I asked while we're on the way to my house.
"I'm ok Rach. Anyway, is Mike home?"
"No he isn't. He'll be home quite late and help me pick Chloe ( Rachel & Mike's child ) from school."
"Oh, that's great. Girl's time!"
Donna exclaimed.

We cook and chat about everything that we could think about. Me and Donna are good friend but since I moved to Seattle, I rarely have chance to talk with her like this except from texting. But talking like this would be much more better.
We've done our lunch and while Donna is cleaning up the table, I bring some dessert with wine out.

"Harvey proposed me"
Donna suddenly blurted.
"Oh. That's such good news. Have you told him your answer?"
"5 times Rachel. He's propised me 5 times."
She mumbled.
"Ok, that's the problem now. I guess you're really confused."
"I did. I don't know why he kept asking that. Isn't it so soon for both of us to get married... And, he doesn't seem serious when talking about that."
Donna finally said it all, she ended the sentence with a deep sigh.
"No Don, we all know Harvey. When he said something, he truly meant it. Maybe it is because he's so desire to live with you."

I comfort her, but I notice there're still something she wants to keep from me.
"I have no idea what's it but I hope you will tell me soon."
I smiled.

"Do you have any idea what it is?"

"I don't know. But as if the firm is not in trouble or Harvey has another woman, you shouldn't be like that."
"Actually, the firm was in trouble, but Harvey had already done solving it. And Harvey's having another woman, if I find out, I'd kill him."
It's good when she makes joke like this. I take the wine and pour her a half-full glass, but instead of having some, she passes the glass of wine back to me.
"Sorry Rachel, I can't drink wine."
"Why Donna? This is your favourite isn't it?!"
Donna never refuses to have a sip of wine, especially when it comes to her fav one. She doesn't reply me, just raises her eyebrown for a signal.
"Oh my gosh, is it what I'm thinking it is?"
I said. Donna refused to drink wine, and as far as I remember, she didn't wear high-heel shoes today. And her tiring after the flight could cleary show that she's pregant.
"Ok, how long?"
"Only 3 weeks"
She said in her lowest voice.
"Did Harvey know about it?"
Donna shakes her head slowly.
"When will you-"
"Rachel, this is not a deposition and I'm not your client either. Stop asking me such question."
Donna moaned.
"Oh, I'm sorry... Only one more question, what're you going to do?"
"I don't know Rach. I guess I'll tell him one day. But I can be sure I'll keep this baby."
I move closer to Donna and cross my arms around her neck for a hug.
"I know you will have the right decision."
"I hope so."
She sighs.
