DARVEY/ The hidden feelings

Chapter 9: Proposal #3

Donna's POV

I'm back to my house after the trip to Seattle, it's 1 o' clock in the morning. I open the door and walks straight to the couch. I've already had a long exhausting trip and it's even more tired when being pregnant. All I want to do now is having a long deep sleep.

"Finally you're home."
A voice from the kitchen startled me, I quickly turn back.
"Holy shit Harvey. How long have you been here?"
"Answer me first! Where the hell have you been all day?"
"I thought you've received my message?!"
"I did. But I thought you just went for a while, not all day like this."
"It was a trip to Rachel's house. The flight was postponed because of the strom so it was not until midnight did I arrive in New York."
I replied, tried to get into my room.
"I was really worried for you. And you look tired, are you ok?"
Harvey moans and places himself next to me, cups her face with both hands.
"I'm fine. Just a little bit tired. I want to have some rest..."

"You should have called me that you'll be late! Why are you always keeping things from me? Let me know, everything, I want to share it all with you!!!"
He nearly shouted.

"God damn it Harvey. I only visited Rachel, nothing happens. Stop being childish. You're really driving me crazy!"
I groan, rush to my bedroom, and shut the door.
"I don't give a shit to what the hell you're gonna say. I want you to leave, right now."
I continued angrily. I only realize I've been mad at him for no reason when I heard the front door's sound. He must have left.

Writer's POV
Harvey still goes to work like usual, he would never let his personal emotion into his work. However, Harvey quickly leaves the firm to meet a client so Donna couldn't really have a chance to see him in face.

Donna has to make a decision, says sorry for being mad at him or they will just end like this and she may have to raise her child all by herself. She spent all night thinking about what can happen and every consequence later. Harvey was worried for her only because she had been home late. He cares for her. He loves her.
"I guess I can trust him, I really do."
Donna whispered to her little baby.

Harvey has just gone out from the bathroom, he's wearing a tee shirt with water in his hair. The door bell rings, he heads to it to open.

"Good evening Harvey."
Donna said, with a smile on her face. Harvey raises his eyebrown.

"Can I come in?"
Donna continued.
Harvey still says nothing, he points inside as a sign for Donna.

"I've brought some ingredients, I think I'd be great if we could have dinnet together. And I want to cook for you."
Donna smiles. Harvey just nods to reply, and turns on his laptop.

They have dinner together, Harvey's favourite dish - beefsteak. They have no conversation during the meal. Donna knows Harvey doesn't feel like talking after what happened the night before. They done eating, Donna has herself a cup of hot tea while Harvey's back to his laptop.

"Harvey, I'm sorry that I was mad at you for no reason."
Donna finally managed to speak out.

"It's ok."
"No, you don't seem so. I know you were worried for me, and I'm glad you did. I was tired at that time, so I've said many things... I shouldn't have said it."
Donna sighed. Harvey finally turns off his laptop and turns to Donna.
"I did shout at you. I'm sorry too."
He smiles sadly.

"Thanks for being worried for me Harvey."
"I've always been, Donna."

Harvey steps to Donna, puts his arms around her waist and kisses her softly on her lips.

"Hey,  isn't it the first time we've had an arguement since we started to date?!"
Donna wondered.
"I guess so. And I hope we can have some more like this. It's good to hear Donna saying sorry to me."
Harvey giggled.

"You're such an asshole."
"But you're still dating with an asshole."
Harvey replied with a big grin on his face. Their eyes meet, Donna moves her head closer to him and reachs his lips. They keep kissing passionately and somehow make their way to Harvey's bedroom. He lays Donna down. He's about to take off her sweater when she breaks the kiss.

"Can we not do that today? I'm not feeling really well..."
"Oh! Ok, so I'll go back to my work, have some rest."
Harvey said, and is about to leave.
"No, please stay. I want to be with you."
Donna suddenly grabs his arms and whispers. Harvey nods, gives her a kiss on her forehead.
"As you want."

Harvey is working on his laptop while Donna is lying next to him. She can't just sleep like this, she has to tell Harvey about the baby.

"Harvey, I've got something to tell you."
"Go on babe."
"I'm... pregnant."
Donna expressed.
"That's such a great news.... So who is the baby's dad?"
Harvey asked.
"Stop making joke Harvey. You know who. I'm serious, you're gonna be a dad."
She moaned.

"Damnit, you never seem to be serious. I know it's so suddenly so you're not ready for it... But at least we should raise the baby together."
Donna continued angrily.

"Rachel did tell me. Not about the pregnancy but about the fact that you think I wasn't serious when I proposed you."
He gets off the bed and heads to his table, holding a box in his hands.

"To be honest, I've always been serious. Every single time I proposed you, I mean it, that I want to live with you. I've bought this since last week, but never had enough courage to give it to you."
Harvey's back to Donna, this time, he's down on his knee, in front of Donna, opens the small box that has a beautiful ring in it.

"Donna Roberta Paulsen, will you do me an honour to be you child's dad? Will you marry me?"
Harvey said sincerely. Tears are streaming down from her face, the tears of happiness. She never expect this.
"Yes Harvey, I... I do."
Harvey carefully puts the ring in her finger, and stands up to embrace her.

" It takes me many years but finally I realize that you're the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love you Donna"

"I love you too Harvey. Please bring me happiness."
Donna sighed.
"I promise, and also for our child."

The next morning, Donna is lying next to her fiancé - Harvey Specter. He cuddles her tight, with their child in her stomach.
