Harvey was smiling at Mike and Mallory. Today was Mallory's 3rd birthday and she was all excited. She was squealing and giggling as Mike picked her up and kissed her forehead.

"Happy birthday my beautiful girl." Mike said. Harvey was watching them and then he returned to his laptop where he was looking at houses for his family. One really stood out and Harvey smiled he knew it was the one. "Babe can you come here a minute?" Mike nodded and put Mallory on his hip. Mike looked over Harvey's shoulder at the house on the screen.

"Oh Harvey! It's perfect!" Mike exclaimed. Harvey nodded and kissed Mike's jaw. Mike smiled and set Mallory down. She walked over to Harvey and tugged on his pants. Harvey gave the laptop to Mike and picked up his little girl. He cuddled her close and kissed her hair.

"Happy birthday baby girl. I love you so much Mall." Harvey said. Mallory looked up and kissed Harvey's cheek. "Tanks daddy." She said in her sweet voice. Harvey felt joy burst and flood his entire system. And suddenly there was a knock on the door. Harvey put Mallory on the floor and told her to find Papa. She nodded and trotted off. Harvey quickly answered the door to find Scotty on the other side.

"Hello Harvey." Harvey was startled a little by seeing her. "What do you want Scotty?" She brushed through Harvey was entered the apartment.

"I came to see my girl and give her a birthday present. Now where is my little darling?" Scotty said as she looked around. "I sent her to find Mike. What did you get her?" Harvey questioned. Scotty pouted and got close to Harvey. "Now now we don't to spoil the surprise. And you are still with that boy toy of yours?"

"Yes and his name is Mike. I love him deeply."

"Really so you don't want to give us another try? Even if it was for Mallory?" Scotty said as she ran her fingers up Harvey's neck.

"Don't touch me. You had your chance you left and married someone. I moved on and found Mike. He makes me happy, he loves me, and he doesn't play around with my feelings!" Harvey shouted. Mike entered the room with Mallory close behind him.

"Harvey why are you shout… Oh hi Scotty." Mike said in a restrained voice. He was angry that Scotty was so close to Harvey. Scotty and went over to Mike.

"You are so cute when you try and be big and bad. I was dropping by to give Mallory her birthday present. Also I was presenting Harvey an offer." Mike was stunned and felt his break a little. 'She was trying to get Harvey back. Did he say yes? What if he did? What if I lose Harvey and Mallory to this bitch?' Mike thought. Harvey was looking at Mike and knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Mike can I talk to you for a moment in the other room?" Harvey asked. Mike nodded and Mallory tugged on his pant leg. He picked her up and placed her in her room for a moment. Harvey gestured Mike into their room, and closed the door behind him.

"Ok first off I did not know Scotty was coming over. Secondly do you really think I would let two perfect years of my life go down the drain for her? Mike I love you and I'm letting you go. I can't stand Scotty anyway and furthermore she is married and I don't date, sleep with, or even think about married women. All I think about is you and Mallory, our future together. Did you really think that I would do that to you?" Harvey said. His tone was harsh, but he was doing it for a good reason.

"Yes I think you would. I know what you two had, and I know that you aren't fully over her. She can give you everything that you and Mallory need…"

"What Mallory and I need? Mike all I need is you. Mallory needs you. You won't leave her like Scotty will. I know that woman and she hates kids. She will just leave the first time Mallory cries or throws a fit. Mallory needs you Michael. I need you. I love you."

Mike stopped and felt the weight of Harvey's words hit him. Harvey does love him, and Mallory does need him. Mike felt bad for yelling at Harvey, and he felt worse since it was Mallory's birthday. "I'm sorry Harvey." Mike whispered as he closed the gap between them and hugged Harvey. Harvey hugged Mike tightly. He gently rocked Mike in his arms.

"I'm sorry Harvey. I'm sorry I doubted you, and I'm sorry I doubted us. I love you Harvey I just don't want to lose you." Mike said. Harvey nodded against Mike head. Harvey leaned down and Mike looked up. They kissed softly at first, but then it grew passionate, and loving. Mike moaned and Harvey moaned. They stayed like that for what felt like hours, but they needed to breathe so they broke apart. Harvey laid his forehead against Mike's. "I love you." Harvey whispered. "I love you too." Mike whispered back.

Mallory began to scream and the men broke apart and rushed over to their daughter. When they arrived to Mallory's room they found Scotty trying to hold her, and Mallory was fighting her off.

"Scotty put her down!" Harvey yelled as he rushed over to grab his daughter. "I have a right to hold her now let go!" Scotty yelled back. Mike was standing there trying to find an opening to get Mallory. He found it when Scotty backed up and tripped over Mallory's toy box. Scotty was falling backwards and tossed Mallory in the air. Mike aimed himself to where Mallory was going to be and caught her. Mallory was crying, and Mike cradled her to his chest. He ran his hand over her hair, and whispered to her. Scotty landed with a loud thud. Harvey stood there shocked but he got through it and went over to Mike and Mallory.

Mike handed Mallory over to Harvey and he held her close to his heart. Mallory snuggled closer and hiccupped as she tried to calm down. Scotty got up and Harvey gave her a death glare.

"Out now." He said coldly. Scotty huffed and took a small package out of her purse. She tossed it into Mallory's crib and stormed out of the apartment. Mike went over and opened the package. It was a white box but inside the box was a beautiful sterling silver locket. Mike opened the locket and saw Harvey and Mike's pictures inside it. The note was under the necklace.

Harvey and Mike,

I wanted Mallory to have this because my mother gave this to me for my third birthday. Mallory does mean something to me and I wanted you to know that. I think this is the last time you will see me unless Mallory wants us to meet again. So I hope you both are happy and stay happy. You both are wonderful fathers and I hope you understand that Mallory is lucky to have you.

Keep her safe, and happy that's all I ask,

Scotty

Ps please tell her that I love her it would mean the world to me if you did.

Mike was almost in tears after he read that. Harvey walked over and Mike handed the note to him. Harvey read it quickly and felt bad for yelling at her. Harvey handed Mallory to Mike and pecked his lips. Harvey pulled out his phone and dialed Scotty's number.

"Scotty come back please." Harvey asked. He listened for a moment then nodded. Harvey listened for a few more moments then hung up.

"What did she say?" "She isn't coming back. She made up her mind and she has a flight at 2 for London." Mike felt sad that Scotty was missing her daughters' birthday. He remembered the feeling after his parents died when his birthday came around and he couldn't see his mom. Harvey lightly tugged Mike and Mike came closer and hugged Harvey. Mallory gestured she wanted Mike so Harvey handed her over and then went back to hugging Mike.

"I think we should make this day great for her. Even though it started out crappy doesn't mean it can't be special or nice." Mike suggested. Harvey nodded and grabbed his phone again. "Donna can you do me a favor? Yeah… chocolate or vanilla is fine…. Yes charge it to my card… you're a goddess Donna. See you soon." Mike smiled. 'Good old Donna. She knows what to do to make today special. Harvey dialed another number.

"Jessica… yes it's your goddaughters birthday today… balloons if you please… no Donna has cake duty…. I know you're jealous but… yes Jessica… yes balloons and candy also beer or alcohol… thanks Jessica bye."

"Wow gonna recruit Louis too. He could be the clown." Mike said. Harvey busted up laughing. Mike started to laugh as well. Mallory was staring at them but then decided to laugh as well. Harvey smiled and laughed more.

A few hours later the doorbell rang and Mike answered. "Hey Donna. Hello Jessica." He greeted the women. He got kisses from both of them.

"Where is she? Where is my beautiful birthday girl?" Donna asked as she placed the cake onto the kitchen counter. Then a girly squeal grabbed their attention. A naked Mallory came running out giggling her head off. Harvey came behind her and quickly wrapped her in a towel.

"Sorry. She is definitely fast." Harvey said. He chuckled a little and Mallory gave everyone a big smile. Harvey carried her off to her room.

"Well that was cute, and interesting." Jessica said as she began to blow up balloons. Donna and Mike began to help and they got through all the balloons before Mallory and Harvey came back out. Mallory was dolled up in a cute white dress with a polka dot bow in her hair. Harvey was still in his old clothes that were covered in water. Mallory ran up to Mike and Mike picked her up. Harvey kissed Mike and told him he would be right back.

Mike nodded and Donna took Mallory from Mike. "Hi baby girl." Donna said. Jessica came over and gushed over Mallory. Harvey came back in a black polo shirt and washed out dark blue jeans. Mike whistled and pulled Harvey into him and kissed him deeply. Donna and Jessica cat called at them and Harvey flipped them off. The women laughed and Mallory snuggled into Donna.

The group ate cake and laughed. Mallory got a couple dolls from Jessica, a few new outfits from Donna. When Harvey presented his gift Mallory it was wrapped elegantly with a blue and silver wrapping paper. Mallory looked in awe of it then she asked Harvey for help. Harvey undid the paper and opened the box. Inside was a large handcrafted doll house. The colors were vibrant and the rooms were big enough for the dolls Jessica bought to fit into.

"That's beautiful Harvey." Mike whispered. Harvey just smiled and watched as Mallory played with it for a moment. She looked at him and run up and hugged his leg. Harvey picked her up and hugged her. Donna and Jessica both awed. Mike grabbed his gift and it was large box like Harvey's. Mallory asked Mike for help and Mike destroyed the paper and opened the box. Inside the box was a small tricycle. It was pink with Disney princesses on it. Mallory squealed and hugged Mike tightly. He hugged her back and all the group awed at them.

"Mike that is one bitchin bike." Donna said. Mike laughed and helped Mallory on to it. She smiled and began to pedal. Harvey watched as Mike guided her around the couch and table. He smiled and stopped Mallory before she crashed into the door. They all had a great time. It was Mallory's bedtime and Harvey and Mike both tucked her in. Donna and Jessica stayed a while longer. Then decided it was time to go and bid their farewells and left. Harvey and Mike cleaned up and finally retired to their bedroom. Harvey gently laid Mike down. Mike giggled a little and kissed Harvey gently. Harvey smiled and deepened the kiss.

A few rounds of passionate love later Harvey had his arms loosely around Mike.

"Mike." Harvey whispered. "Yeah." Harvey smiled. "Where do you see us in two more years?" Mike smiled. "A house, a dog maybe, Mallory in preschool maybe, and hopefully married." Harvey smiled at the last part and reached back and grabbed something.

"Mike can you look at me please?" Harvey said as he leaned up. Mike also leaned up and looked at Harvey.

"Mike I know we have had our ups and downs, and we will have plenty more. I know that Mallory is a gift that I don't want to lose, but also I don't want to lose you. I love you more than anything is this world. I want to be with you from now until the day I die. Michael James Ross will you marry me?" Harvey asked as he got out of bed stark naked and got down on one knee.

Mike was in awe, Harvey was so romantic and still so sexy even when he is proposing.

"Yes Harvey. Yes I will marry you." Mike said as Harvey got back onto the bed and kissed him senseless. During the kiss Harvey managed to slip on the ring and intertwined their fingers.

YEAH I FINISHED IT! HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT AND THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE FOR THIS STORY!
