He really shouldn't have been surprised to see Jessica standing in his door way, but he played along pretending to be.
"Jessica, what a surprise, please comes in" Harvey said dryly. He stepped aside for her to walk into the room and closed the door before offering her a drink. Jessica declined stating she'd rather be sober for this conversation.
"Harvey, I really do try to stay out of your personal affairs since you and Lila had gotten married. However this little fight between you two has come into the work area. I won't allow employees to feel like they need to take your place at a meeting while you hash out your crap with your wife. "Harvey tried to interrupt her and she gave him a glare that quickly stopped him. "Furthermore do you know Mike has offered to cover you with Dana Scott while you fix your shit mess?"
"No Mike hasn't told me that yet, why he would offer that though. I mean I know my personal life has hit a rough patch , but it is fine Jessica " Harvey took another sip of scotch before placing the glass down and sitting at the kitchen island . Sighing he ran his hand over his face and looked back over at his friend. Jessica gave him a sympathy smile before joining him at the island; she sat her self next to him and nudged his shoulder with her own.
"Would you like to tell me what is going on? She asked "You don't have to, but Harvey when it starts affecting my staff I think I should find out what the hell is going on." Harvey gave her a half heart laugh and nodded.
Harvey told her the whole story , the whole ugly story and as he was telling his mentor/best friend/boss about what an asshole he had been , he started to feel sick about the whole thing . He had realized he had been choosing Dana Scott over his wife the whole time. He thumped his head down on the marble counter and turned his head so he could see Jessica. She has a slight smirk on her face.
"See you figured it out all on your own, I'm proud of you. Now all you have to do is go fix it all on your own. And Harvey stop letting Scottie interfere with your home life. Now I am going home to catch up on a few things. Good night Harvey "she told him as she slid off the chair and walked herself over to his door. She stopped and turned around before leaving
"Harvey just gets your shit together "
Harvey smirked and knew he had messed up big time. He knew he had to set boundaries for Dana. He also knew that he wasn't fair to Dana all those years ago. She had told him she wanted a life with him and she loved him. He just couldn't say the same, and then a few years later he met and married Lila.
Harvey looked at the time, it was late but he always went to Mike's late. He did not have a plan , he had no clue what he was going to say to his wife , he had no idea what it was going to take to make Lila believe she is the one he wants not Dana .
No Harvey Specter had no idea what he was going to do, but he was going to mike's to bring his wife home or at least apologize to her. He called a taxi to pick him up; he didn't want to piss off Ray by calling him in the middle of the night.
Once at mike's building he took the elevator up, butterflies settling in his gut making him overly nervous. He knocked on the door a few times and waited a moment before knocking on the door again.
Inside Lila had heard the knocking on Mike's door; she eased out of the bed and into the living room. Mike had long passed out on the couch, she shook her head at the fact he hadn't heard the knocking. She looked through the peep hole and saw Harvey on the other side. She still did not want to see him but decided it was better to answer the door than let him wake Mike up.
She opened the door just enough to let Harvey stand in the door way, She wasn't letting him any further.
"Harvey, what are you doing here? It is late, couldn't you wait to have an argument with me at home till at least the next day. Mike is sleeping. I … I don't want to fight with you and have him get sucked up in the middle even more than he is. It isn't fair"
Harvey stood for a moment looking at his wife, just looking at the anger and hurt and sadness that had crept into her usually cheerful face. He did this to her, he had placed all those things on her. It made him sick.
"Lila " he let out with a broken voice he couldn't hold back , he looked at her and was over whelmed by his feeling s , he was going to lose all of this , his family . He felt a few tears threaten to fall and he let them.
Lila , opened the door more and stepped back a few steps , she saw the tears leaving trails down his face . She had seen him cry once, once when Mike had a complication in a rather normal operation. Something had to be very wrong at the moment for him to cry again. She reached out and pulled him inside the door,
"Harvey, Harvey what's wrong, what happened?" she took his face in her hands and looked at him with concern.
"Please don't leave me, please don't. I won't be able to handle it if you leave me " he managed to get out in the most broken voice Lila had ever heard . She threw her arms around him and just held him as she felt the shield of Harvey break and falls just a little more. She felt him return her hug tightly as if he truly believed that she was going to leave him.
"Harvey "she whispered to him "I'm not going to leave you, I'm just so mad at you but I'd never leave. I love you too much and this baby loves you too much to leave you. "She pulled back to look at him. He drew back to wipe the tears that had streaked his face. He pulled his wife back into him and kissed her until he had no air left in his lungs.
"Lets go home "it wasn't a question it, wasn't a request, it was an matter of fact statement.
"Harvey, I'll be home in a few hours and we can talk about all this then, I promise. I don't want Mike to think I'm not grateful he let me come here .
Harvey had forgotten all about her going to the hospital until now.
"Hey, are you okay, I mean everyone is okay? "
"We "she gestured to her stomach "are okay. I promise. Harvey goes home. She playfully this time pushed him and grinned at him.
He didn't want to leave , he wanted to stay and wrap himself around this family and never let go , but if he leaving made her smile like that then he would .
"Alright I'll go but please come home "he this time requested as he kissed her forehead.
"Bright and early I promise "
Lila watched Harvey leave and turned around to see Mike had left the couch and probably gone to his room. She curled up on the couch and laid her head down on the pillow wondering if going home so soon would fix all the under lying issues. She pulled up the throw and closed her eyes waiting for sleep to reclaim her.
Mike smiled in the dark of his room , he had heard Harvey come in and while he had to fight the urge to intervene it looked like things for now were going to be okay.
