Hello my faithful readers! Guess what? It's Tuesday!

Donna's hands shook with each floor that the elevator rose. She could feel the sympathy radiating off of Rachel behind her. The whole ride over to the hospital they didn't say a word to one another. The silence was enough for each woman to know how worried the other was. Her best friend was constantly looking to her and she knew that it was only a matter of time before she broke down. Donna kept reminding herself that they didn't know anything. For all they knew he would be sitting up and complaining about how this was an inconvenience to his busy schedule when they got to the hospital.

The final ding of the elevator made her flinch. They exited and turned the corner to see the family. The world slowed as she saw the people who she would do anything for.

Louis was sitting and chewing nervously on his nails. Donna had seen him worried before, however it was never this bad. He didn't even acknowledge that she was there since he was too wrapped up in his own thoughts. She didn't blame him. Seeing the senior partner like that was almost enough to push her over the edge. Gretchen was next to him constantly patting her cheeks. Clearly the secretary was there to support her boss, but she would be lying if she said that her life hadn't been affected by the cocky lawyer currently on an operating table.

Mike was standing waiting for them. His shirt was soaked in what she assumed was Harvey's blood. She swallowed before addressing him. "Mike. What happened? How is he?" Her voice was desperate. She knew that he wouldn't have all the answers, but Donna just needed to know if the love of her life had a chance. "Please tell me he is okay."

The young lawyer didn't have words. "They took him back into surgery immediately. I rode in the ambulance with him. There was so much blood." He got lost in the moment. Reliving the horror of seeing his best friend lying on the concrete half dead. Donna gently touched his shoulder to bring him back to the present.

"Mike." She didn't want to hear how she was going to lose him. She didn't want to hear how there was more blood on the ground than in his veins. "Who did this?"

Clearing his throat his face turned down. "We don't know. It looked like a mugging to be honest. Donna…I…" Mike didn't know what else to say. Rachel went to him and wrapped him up in a hug before the tears started. He didn't want to lose the little family he had left.

A small chuckle left her lips involuntarily. A mugging. Something so mundane would be what stopped their lives. She shook her head. For a few moments she wanted it to all be a dream. To wake up and know that nothing was real. He was fine, and they had an argument to get to. "Did someone tell Paula?" There were several confused eyes on her. She could only imagine how odd it would be for her to suggest the woman. At the end of the day though, that was who Harvey was with. Paula had a right to know what was going on. "Someone has to let her know what is going on. She should know." Her voice shook a little bit. The therapist was the last person that Donna wanted to see right now.

Rachel gently rose. "I will call her." Mike tried to stop her, but she said something to him that Donna missed.

Within half an hour the therapist was there waiting with all of them. She didn't have anything to say and it was blatantly apparent that she was the interloper there. If someone walked into that waiting room, they would not have thought she was even waiting for the same person. Paula sat herself in the away from them.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Three hours passed.

Paula was becoming restless. Pacing was not doing her any good and the looks around the room were not helping. "What is taking so long?" She huffed back down more talking to herself than anyone around her. "I can't do this anymore. I need to know what is going on." She marched over to the nurse's station close to the waiting area. She slid over to the nurse who was clearly catching up on some late-night paper work. "Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if I could get an update on my boyfriend, Harvey Specter?" The nurse looked up quickly.

"Do you have privileges?" Nurse Kristi looked up and analyzed the woman in front of her. Sometimes she really hated her job. The woman was clearly upset and now confused.

A few moments passed before Donna noticed that Paula had moved from her spot. She glanced around the room to find the blond arguing with some poor nurse at the desk. Looking over to Rachel, who had fallen asleep on Mike's shoulder and vise-versa, she got up to render her assistance. As much as she didn't want to, part of her knew it was the right thing to do. When she made her way over to the desk she could see a few tears falling down Paula's face.

"I told you I am his therapist. I have access to his medical files. I have privileges!" Donna caught the tail end of the conversation before inserting herself into it. "What's going on?"

Paula almost rolled her eyes. She had to remind herself that the woman who was probably just trying to help was not a threat. "This nurse keeps saying I don't have the right clearances to get an update on Harvey because I am not on his authorized paper work."

Sympathy went for the nurse in the look that was on Donna's face. "Donna Paulsen. I do have privileges. Do you have any update for us?" The nurse looked at the computer quickly and nodded her head.

"It looks like he is just now coming out of surgery. The doctor should be here soon to talk to you."

Donna walked away from the desk after thanking the nurse. She should have known that Paula would not be enthused with her having privileges. She should have known that there would be another seed of doubt planted in the therapist's mind. What she did not see coming was Paula saying something about it.

"Why do you have privileges to his medical information?" It was a stupid question and Paula knew it. There were always going to be things that Donna had that she didn't, especially with their relationship still being so new. It was a build up of little things though that had her asking the question. This morning Harvey couldn't decide what to wear. Then he missed lunch. He also wouldn't answer her call so she could see how the court day went. Ever since this case started he had been distant and she was now going to take it out on the other woman in his life.

The red head turned around at the question. Despite the fact that she had just helped Paula get the information she was looking for, the hostility in the way the questions was asked revealed so much more. "Because I am his medical contact. I have always been his medical contact." She ever so slightly stressed the word always. "When he is in trouble, I am the person he calls." Face to face she said the words that had been building up for a few weeks now. She did not have the attention span to get into some petty argument while Harvey could be dying.

Before it could go any further, a doctor came around the corner and asked for the family of Harvey Specter. Everyone was suddenly awake and alert to every word that was coming from the woman's mouth. The fight that was about to ensue quickly forgotten.

"The bullet passed through Mr. Specter's liver and lodged itself In his spleen. We were able to repair the liver and did partial splenectomy to remove the damaged tissue. So far he is stable. There was a lot of blood loss as well." The doctor paused for a moment. This was always the hard part of the job. "Currently Mr. Specter is in a comatose state. We are unsure when or if he will wake up. That is entirely up to him."

Donna felt her heart tumble into her stomach with each word that the doctor spoke. There was a chance that he wouldn't wake up. There was a chance that she would never know.

Another chapter in the books! I hope you enjoyed!
