Here goes nothing Donna thought as she entered Lily's room.
''Hi Lily I'm Donna'', she said shyly.
''Don't worry I know who you are, Donna I just wanted to say thank you for what you have done for my son these past years and making him the man he is and getting him to reconcile with me , I'll also let you know that Gordon was very fond of you as well'' ,Lily smiled sweetly and Donna which she reciprocated.
Donna then moved closer to Lily's bed and took a seat on the chair next to it.''Thanks Lily your son is great man and he is so pleased he managed to make up with you'', Donna smiled.
''Donna I haven't got much time left so I am just going to say that I know how much my son adores you and loves you and you are very special to him so please give him a chance to fall more in love with you ,than he has already and I don't want your chances with him ruin because what has happen in the past because of me'' ,Lily spoke softly to Donna as tears where rolling down Donna's cheeks from hearing such sweet words.
Donna took Lily's hand and said ''If the chance arises then I may just take a chance on him''.
Harvey was outside wondering what they where talking about god I hope my mum isn't embarrassing me and then Dr Grayson approached Harvey ''Hi Mr Specter , Lily is now allowed two visitors at once but I must warn you her condition is worsening rapidly and I'm unsure on how long she has left'' and the patted Harvey's shoulder and walked away. Harvey managed to keep his tears at bay to appear strong for his mom as he was about to enter her room.
When Harvey entered the room he saw Donna talking animatedly to his mom , making Lily smile a lot and Harvey couldn't help but grin at Donna. He cleared his throat '' The Doc said you're allowed two visitors lucky you , I hope you haven't embarrassed me at all'' he smiled at his mom. Then took a seat on the opposite of the bed.
Lily new she didn't have a long time as left and then she spoke ''Harvey I am so proud of the man you are and I'm so happy we managed to make up and forgive each other and I love you more than you would believe and will ever know and Donna thank you for everything you've done'' .
Harvey started crying ''I love you so much mom thank you for everything you have done for the family and helped me become the man I am'' Lily nodded at his words and Donna was trying her best to keep her tears at bay. After a few minutes after hearing Harvey's words Lily closed her eyes for the final time.
Harvey got up from his seat and kissed his mom on her forehead, Donna left the room so Harvey could have some time with his mom for the last time , the last 24 hours have been so crazy Donna thought.When Donna was outside she inform Doctor Grayson on what has just happen. Harvey then stepped out of the room his eyes were so raw and red from crying (similar to Donna's) then Donna walked quickly over to Harvey and engulfed him in a massive hug , she began to rub his back as a type of comfort from her.
After sometime hugging each other Donna recommended that they go to a hotel so they are ready to pick up Sophie and Luke tomorrow (Marcus's kids). Donna could tell Harvey was it a state of shock. Ray was waiting outside and she asked him to drop them off at the nearest hotel.
In the car to the hotel Donna was trying to comfort Harvey '' I know it is hard Harvey, and surreal but I hope it gets better with time and the short amount of time I spent with your mom she was lovely and so proud of you'', smiling towards him.
''Thanks Donna'' he responded sheepisly.
They had arrived at the Hilton hotel as they got to the reception Donna checked them in and asked if they had any pyjamas to buy as Donna just had her dress and Harvey had his suit. The receptionists gave Donna pyjamas but informed them there was only one room left due to the late hour as it was currently 2am but Donna took the room as she nor Harvey felt like riding around town trying to find somewhere. Donna led Harvey to the room and informed him that she managed to get some pyjamas. The room was quite spacious and had 1 double bed.
Harvey instantly offered to sleep on the floor which Donna responded ''Don't be silly I trust you enough to share'' , trying her hardest not to make eye contact as she was sure would begin to blush. Harvey then excused himself to go and have a shower and get ready for bed, whilst he was getting ready Donna ordered them some scotch to drink.she knew him so well .
He stepped out the bedroom wearing a loose t-shirt and jogging bottoms, Donna doesn't remember the last time she saw him dress so causally got he was good looking Donna was thinking.''I've ordered us some scotch , I'm just going to go wash if the door goes it's hopefully the scotch'' and with that Donna walked into the bathroom trying to regain her thoughts but couldn't stop thinking about Harvey looking so good.
After about 20 minutes Donna walked out of the shower in a pair of small white shorts and V neck vest top Harvey was trying his best not to stare or count her freckles , whilst Donna tried to pretend she didn't know what he was doing. They both got under the sheets and sat against the headboard sharing memories of Harvey's family and drinking the scotch . About an hour they decided to call it a night , both of them lying on their backs and looking at the celling.
Harvey uttered out ''Donna is it alright If I hold you I don't know what I would do if I lost you'' , god he was praying she would say yes.
''Of course Harv come here'', she was definitely blushing thank god it was dark. His muscular arm slid around her waist and he interlocked his fingers with hers.
Donna was the first one to wake , she had to admit how nice it felt to wake up in Harvey's arms enjoying the feeling for a bit longer until Harvey started to wake and saw Donna looking at him waiting for him to be fully awake.
''Good morning I thought you where going to sleep all day , luckily you didn't as today as we need to go shopping for food to feed the kids and we also all need outfits for the funeral tomorrow which Katie's family is sorting out so you don't need to worry about it'' she informed him , as he just smiled at her memorised about how amazing she was.
After going shopping for food and outfits they where finally outside Luke's and Sophie's friends house , Donna went up to door and greeted and thanked the mother for looking after the kids. The kids ran down the lawn and jumped into Harvey's arms Donna couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of her. Harvey greeted his niece and nephew with a massive hug , they began to cry '' I love you guys so much and I've brought auntie Donna along with me as I remember how much you love her'' ,after that Donna walked quickly down the lawn to be greeted by hug from Harvey's niece and nephew , Sophie shouted '' Come on Uncle Harvey join us'' and with that he did and hugged them all tightly.
Soon after they where outside Marcus's and Katie's house Harvey felt odd about unlocking the door and the kids where hesitant to enter but Donna picked them up and they eased into it with Harvey following behind her with the shopping. Donna placed the kids on the sofa and Harvey came over and exchanged glances knowing it was time to tell them about Grandma. ''Do you know what happen to mommy and daddy'' , Luke asked timidly
''Yes we do sweetie but we've something else to tell you Grandma has now also join them in heaven and they are all so proud of you guys'' trying not to cry but the kids ran up to them both and shared another group hug.
''Me and Donna will always be here for you two no matter what okay, how about you guys watch some TV whilst me and Donna make tea'' he suggested.
They both got up and walked into the kitchen they where going to make some simple chicken and rice with peppers and about 25 minutes later they where all sat around the dinner table, eating and exchanging memories like the Donna and he had done the night before. Harvey had then informed them that they where going to move to New York and that him and Donna had both taken 3 months of work to get them settled in to their new lifestyle. ''I have always wanted to go New York and tonight can you and Donna share beds with us as me and Luke don't feel great or sleeping alone'' , to which Donna responded ''of course sweetie we will be in shortly , me and uncle Harvey have just to clean up , you kids get to bed''.
A few minutes later in the kitchen ''How are you so good with kids'' he asked.
''I'm not sure it will just take time and Harvey don't forget they love you to pieces'', she reassured him.
''Thanks Donna I'm going to get ready for bead I'll see you in there''.
Donna walked into the kids room and saw two single beds one with Sophie in and one with Luke she got into Sophie's bed and hugged her tightly letting Sophie know she was there. Then Harvey walked in and saw Donna hugging Sophie which filled his heart with more love for the woman. Shortly after he got into Luke's bed but he was pretty much flat out asleep. Harvey still spoke quietly and said '' Night guys we've a big day ahead of us but don't worry me and Donna will be there with you'' ,yawning at the end.
Half an hour later Sophie was still awake and she nudged Donna to see if she was ''Yes sweetie'' Donna whispered ''I hope Grandma, Grandpa , Mom and Dad will be proud of me and I'm sad for tomorrow and so is Luke and Uncle Harvey , will you be with us in New York'' Sophie asked quietly.
''Of course they would be proud you who wouldn't ,and of course you feel sad but that is very normal and I know Uncle Harvey is sad but he's going to be there for you as I am and he is going to an amazing job at raising you both as he is an amazing man and loves you both a lot'' , Sophie began to yawn and fell to sleep. Harvey heard the last part of Donna talk with Sophie and it filled him with warmth which after he quickly fell to sleep so did Donna.
