Well, I warned you it would be fluffy. ;) This is more a collection of moments and time jumps because the fluffiness demanded it.

Epilogue

The wedding took place outside on a perfectly sunny morning in late May, with the slightest of breezes to tickle the skin.

Harvey stood at the head of the aisle, waiting for Donna to start that traditional walk between the rows of guests. The music swelled and he looked up and there she was. All he wanted, all he lived for, there just a short distance from him. She wore lace and crystal and flowing chiffon, and never had he been so struck be her beauty. She carried a bouquet of yellow gerbera daisies tied with the same blue ribbon that had held the first flowers he'd ever brought her. Emotions ran wild in his heart, love, desire, pure admiration for the incredible woman who walked towards him. She gripped her father's arm tightly, her eyes laser sharp on his. There was the tiniest hint of nerves, the kind that usually come when you're about do something that touches the heart. His pulse jittered and jumped and he could feel his breath coming in tight. Her hand reached out and his fingers closed around hers and suddenly there was calm. He could all but see the nerves melt from her face, and she smiled brilliantly at him. Maybe he believed in soul mates after all.


Marriage, the thing he'd dodged and feared most of his life ended up being the most natural thing in the world. There was a comfort in waking beside her every morning, drinking coffee and laughing over breakfast. Every now and then there would be a sexy romp in the shower, or they would skip breakfast and have each other instead. He felt complete, there was no other way to describe it. The drive for more and better was replaced by deep satisfaction. He still liked to win, enjoyed the challenges of his highly competitive career, but that unquenched desire for the unreachable something was gone because he had everything.

Donna stepped out of the bathroom and gave him a soft smile, the one he knew was reserved only for him.

"Stop daydreaming, we're going to be late for work."

Harvey stood from the bed and wrapped his arms loosely around her waist.

"Every day I don't think I can love you anymore, every day you prove me wrong."

He saw the pleasure blush across her cheeks and she looked warily at the empty coffee cup on the nightstand.

"What was in that coffee?"

Harvey nudged her playfully and she pressed a kiss to his lips before wiggling away.

"Seriously though lets go, I've run out of excuses to explain why we can't seem to get to work on time anymore."

"How about, we had hot kitchen sex and then we had to have hot shower sex because you spilled orange juice all over yourself."

"First of all, you spilled orange juice all over me because you were getting grabby, and second, I already used that excuse last week when it happened and Jessica didn't think it was funny."

Harvey's lips quirked in amusement.

"Flat tire?" He suggested.

Donna scoffed "Like anyone would believe that Ray wouldn't switch it out for a spare in under five minutes, now come one."

Harvey shrugged on a shirt and buttoned it as Donna scurried around the apartment. He pulled on his pants and was about to zip them up when he was distracted by the sight of Donna bending over to slip on her heels.

"Hey can you help me with these pants? The zipper's tricky" Harvey said, not bothering to hide the pure lust in his gaze.

Donna looked over and gave him a speculative look.

"Nice try, but you know what really turns me on?"

Harvey raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Being on time," She said flatly and grabbed his cellphone, tucking it into his pocket and pulling the zipper up with a quick flick before turning to the door.

Harvey chuckled and followed her.


She was absolutely terrified and thrilled at the same time. Maybe twelve pregnancy tests had been going a little overboard, but she didn't care. She hadn't even been late but something had felt different and somehow she just knew, there was a life growing inside her. The doctor came back in with the printed sonogram and handed it to her. There was a mass of gray and an arrow that pointed to a little black dot.

"Now there isn't that much to see yet as you're barely four weeks pregnant, but that right there is the gestational sac, and soon enough you'll be able to see the baby."

"Admit it, that's the best looking gestational sack you've seen." Donna said grinning at the little black dot that would soon grow into a baby. Their baby.

The doctor chuckled,

"Oh most definitely. I know these things, I'm a certified medical professional."

Donna laughed and thanked the doctor, tucking the sonogram into her purse as she left. She took out the picture and put it back so many times on the ride home that it already showed signs of wear.

Harvey was sipping on coffee and reading through an email when she got home.

"Wow you're glowing, is there a sale at Saks?" He teased, giving her a wink.

"No, I, sit down." Donna said setting down her purse and fanning her face. She felt suddenly hot.

"I am sitting down, did you drink mimosa's with Rachel again? I swear you two get tipsy after just one."

"No, I-" her breath caught in her throat and squeezed. "I peed and, on the stick. " A laugh bubbled out hysterically and she realized she may be having a panic attack which only made things a lot funnier. Harvey stood and went to her, concern etched on his face.

"Donna?"

"And I went to the doctor, and we're, oh my god. I can't..." Her vision grayed and she grabbed onto the couch for support. He had her scooped up in his arms and laid her carefully on the couch before she could tell him not to worry.

"Are you okay? What happened? You went to the doctor?" He peppered her with questions as he looked into her eyes.

"Yes I'm fine, I'm pregnant, we're having a baby. Oh god!" Donna sucked in a breath and pressed a hand to her belly. "There's a baby," she whispered.

Harvey was completely silent and when she looked at him she saw he was staring at her in complete shock, his face drained of color.

"Holy shit," he whispered, touching a hand to her stomach. "We're having a baby."

Donna nodded and covered her hand with his.
"We are." She jolted suddenly and jumped up, dashing to her purse.

"The sonogram, the picture of the baby! Our little dot," She handed the sonogram to Harvey whose whole face softened as he looked at the tiny speck. They sat that way for almost an hour. Gazing at the tiny spot of color, already speculating about what the small life would become.


"She kicked me!" Donna laughed as Harvey looked up at her in wonder, his hand on the swell of her belly.

"That was hard, she's obviously very strong." He said proudly.

"Yeah try getting one of those in the ribs at four in the morning. That lost its appeal real quick." Donna said dryly, massaging at the dull ache in her back that was now her constant companion.

Harvey kissed her stomach and turned her around, pressing his fingers into the aching spot.

She sighed in relief and ran a lazy hand over her belly as she felt their daughter move within her.

"Do you think the sonogram tech will let us have more pictures this time? At all angles? I want to see how much she's grown and they were really stingy with the pictures last time." He said.

"You mean more than the four they gave us until you harassed the tech so much that she printed out another set for you?"

Harvey shrugged and laid a hand on her belly again, grinning as it rippled beneath his hand.

"I can't get enough of her, look she already knows her daddy." He said, moving his hand as the direction of the kicks changed.

Donna laughed and leaned against him, placing a hand over his to move it to where the baby lay. She had seen a whole new side of him come out as her pregnancy progressed. The boyish excitement and the paternal pride. It made her love for him deepen beyond what she had ever thought it could.


He gripped her hand almost as tightly as she gripped his while the next contraction rolled through her body. Donna's face was slicked with sweat and the tendrils of hair that had escaped the ponytail clung to her face.

"All right Donna, give us another big push." The nurse coaxed.

Donna breathed slowly and pushed again, gritting her teeth against the pain. Harvey brushed the hair from her face and pressed a kiss to their joined hands. The cry pierced the air and both parents stared in awe as the baby was covered lightly and placed on Donna's chest as the cord was cut. The nurses took her away to clean her and tend to Donna as Harvey sat frozen in the chair. In the next moment his daughter was placed in his hands and he sat frozen, holding her like she was made of spun glass. He didn't know how he could be so afraid yet so absolutely in love with the baby cradled in his arms. Her eyes opened and seemed to stare straight into his soul, it was as if the air around him stilled and all he could do was stare back into her eyes as an impossible love filled him.

"Oh stop that you'll get me started too." Donna said mistily.

Harvey swept at the tear that had unknowingly rolled down his cheek and felt the faint flush of embarrassment.

"She's so perfect." He said as he placed her in Donna's arms.

"Well of course she is." Donna whispered, brushing lightly at the soft hair on her head.


Harvey looked up from his desk as he heard the girlish giggle. Two sets of eyes looked sheepishly back at him from Donna's desk. Unable to hide the smile from his face he hit the intercom button.

"If you're going to sneak Aideen up here the least you could do is hide her in my office."

Donna scooped the toddler into her arms and hurried into Harvey's office.

"I'm sorry but I really missed her." Donna said placing the squirming baby onto Harvey's lap.

"It's barely been two hours" Harvey said, not mentioning the fact that he had thought about sending Mike down to sneak Aideen up to his office only minutes earlier. Aideen Lillian Specter had both parents wrapped effortlessly around her finger and the golden haired angel gurgled happily as she grabbed a fistful of her father's tie.

Harvey eased her fingers from his tie and lifted Aideen, blowing raspberries on her belly as she shrieked in delight.

"And how are we supposed to get any work done, when we have such a pretty little fairy to distract us?" Harvey said, dropping kisses on her cheeks. Donna sat on the edge of his desk and ran a hand through her daughter's hair.

They made a pretty picture, the slim redhead with her head bent towards the handsome dark haired man who bounced a smiling baby girl on his lap. His hand reached for hers and it completed a link in what might have been destiny all along. From somewhere above a man named Gordon looked down on his son and smiled.


I'm almost sad to be done with this story! Thanks again to everyone who has followed, reviewed, and favorited.

I have two one-shots planned for Donna and Harvey (one will be elaborating on the "other time" I briefly touched on in this story). I will get those up as soon as they're finished. Then I will be heading over to the NCIS: Los Angeles fandom for a bit. I have a Kensi and Deeks storyline bouncing around in my head and it wants out. I do have another longer story in my head for Donna and Harvey but it needs a lot of polishing and I need to re-watch some Suits episodes to refresh the characterization a bit.
