Summary: Harvey Specter had been in a few serious relationships: a relationship with Kenza Diouri being one of them. Due to the cards life dealt them, they had to go their seperate ways. It had taken Harvey a long time to recover from that heartbreak. Now, almost four years later Kenza is back in New York Citywith two things that will turn Harvey's life upside down: Kenza's terminal illness and their son, whom Harvey didn't know about.
PROLOGUE
''Hello?'' Donna picks up the phone, carelessly sideglancing at the number as she's too busy typing on the computer. No one answers. It's completely silent.
It catches Donna's attention, she drops her work on the computer and concentrates on the person who's on the other line.
''Hello?'' She repeats again. This time, she can hear someone sighing deeply. ''Donna?'' The feminine voice says back.
Donna freezes for a moment, her mouth agape. She looks at Harvey from the corner of her eye. He's talking to Mike in his office and he doesn't notice her looking. Neither of them do.
''Kenza?'' Donna finally responds to the voice she knows so well.
''It's me,'' Kenza laughs a little, but they can't both hear it's not genuine. Donna doesn't know what to say.
What is there to say to a person who's your boss' ex and who had been one of your favorite people, but you had to end the friendship?
What did you say to someone who you hadn't spoken to in almost four years?
Donna tries to think of something, but her mind can't come up with anything and her mouth stays still - which doesn't happen often.
Kenza recovers from the silence though. ''I'm just gonna go ahead and get this out, I was wondering if there's anyway I can meet Harvey, as soon as possible? Preferably at some restaurant and not at his office,'' she says and it just feels so strange to Donna.
This was the girl who used to be her god damn best friend, the one she would have sleepovers with, pour her heart out to and talk shit about Harvey in the kindest manner.
But still, Harvey was Harvey and when they broke up Donna had to stay with him. She knew that they both ended it on mostly good terms, but Kenza wasn't around when Harvey fell in to a spiral of sadness. Donna was.
''Why now?'' Donna finds herself thinking out loud. It comes out ruder than intended. ''If only I could tell you, Donna.''
Donna's not sure, maybe she's imagining it. She probably is, but she thinks she hears Kenza sob.
It's nothing you usually would attribute to Kenza. A women of steel and utmost positivity.
But a lot can change in a matter of four years, hell, Donna knows it.
''Please, Donna. It's an emergency.''
