1 WEEK LATER

"Oh, I remember one." Lily laughed, taking a sip of wine.

"It was a summer's afternoon. You were in the pool in my back yard swimming around while Harvey was laid on the sun Bed at the side watching you, with they look of love on his face." She laughed on.

"Really!" Donna replied stunned.

"Yeah. He has always had it in for you." Lily smiled, pointing at Donna while sipping on more wine.

"I guess i always have for him too you know." Donna nodded.

"Really? How did you know you did ?" Lily turned her body fo face her.

"It was about 9 years ago, we won this big case at the firm and he called me over to celebrate. Nobody else just me. I asked why and he said he only wants my company. We had a few drinks in his apartment that he lived in then. I went to the closest bathroom, it was his ensuite, and I came out from the bathroom and he was in his room singing a little song to himself, not drunk, i lay on his bed watching him, i nodded off for a little while, then when i snapped back to realtity from the small rest. He was laying beside me. Then we both moved around until i was hugging him with my head on his stomach and i slept the whole night." Donna reminisced.

"A love story waiting to happen." Lily smiled and let off a little giggle.

"The best love story of my life." Donna tapped the side of her wine glass with her long red painted nails.

"So when did you guys actually get together?" Liky asked unknown.

"I fainted at fhe office and i was early on in he pregnancy, rhats why i fainted. And he accompanied me to hospital and waited with me until i woke up, and the nurse told him i was pregnant, and when he woke up he told me thinking i never knew, but i did, and then before i could even get the words out. He told me he loved me, next thing we knew, engaged a child marridge and now two more." Donna smiled, running her hand through her long wavy red hair.

"When i first me you, you know, i knew you guys had something special even though you were friends for a VERY long time." Lily assured Donna, placing her wine glass on the coffee table turning to face Donna again.

"How come?" Donna done the same.

"The way you guys looked at each other, the amount of time you both spent with each other, you both read one another like books and you still do, you were both the first person each other invited to vacations and summer trips. For Harvey when he was without you, it was near enough every conversation we had you were beought up, all the distant relatives we never seen for years knew about the famous Donna. " Lily laughed reminded of the old days.

"I miss being younger." Donna laughed too.

"I miss it too. I especially miss watching Harvey and Marcus grow up. Now you get to live that watching your babies grow up. Its the best feeling." Lily smiled.

"They grow too quick." Donna picked the photo frame up holding a photo of the twins and Sydney.

"Donna i need to ask." Lily interrrupted the moment.

"What is it Lily?" Donna grew concerned.

"When Gordon passed. Did Harvey ever tell you about me and-" before Lily could even get the rest of the question out, Donna began.

"He told me. Harvey tells me everything." Donna said softly.

Lily turned her head away looking down. Donna moved a few spaces up, closer go her.

"And i am not one to judge." Donna reminded her. Stopping her from crying.

"thank you Donna." Lily wiped her tears.

Donna pulled Lily into a hug, not taking long before they got back to the wine and a few bags of chips.

"I still cant believe how far you and Harvey have came." Lily smiled. Looking at Donna with a huge grin.

"It's pretty amazing right." Donna got exited.

"I am very happy for you both. I really am." Lily laughed at the cheeky grin on Donnas face.

And for the rest of the night, Lily and Donna reminisced on the days before Harvey and Donna were parents. All the fun they had. All the trips. Visits. Everything that Held a special moment was brought up. It was a great feeling, something they could talk about forever.
