Well here it is and yet I still down own Suits.

Chapter 4

Harvey felt like he was going to be physically sick. He held on to the wall feeling he was going to pass out. It took everything in him to keep himself upright.

Please, please, please Mike stay with us. What's taking so long? Why haven't they gotten you breathing again? You can't possibly be…

He bit into his fist trying to stifle a scream he was holding back. Then he heard it, Mikes heart monitor started beeping again.

He fell to the ground for the second time that day and he didn't think he could take any more of it. He was beyond exhausted. He had so many emotions running through him that he felt he was going to combust.

"Mr. Specter." The doctor from earlier came out from Mikes room.

"Yes doctor?" he said, getting up.

"There was a slight complication. I believe Mr. Ross's has air built in around his lungs making it hard for him to breath. We need to perform a few tests and perform surgery to insert a small tube in his chest to drain the liquid." He looked into Harvey's scared eyes. "I can assure you that the surgery is safe and once we drain the liquid out of his lungs he'll be able to breathe much more comfortably.

"Will he be okay? Is he out of…danger—"he asked.

"We've managed to stabilize him."

Harvey gave him a puzzled look. "I don't think I quite understand."

"It means that once we suck out the air he'll be on watch for forty-eight hours to make sure he's in the clear," he smiled. "We just need to perform surgery on that broken femur."

Harvey knew they were going to be the longest forty-eight hours of his life. "So, what happened right now was because of the air built in?"

"Yes, sometimes that can occur after the accident."

"OK, thank you doctor."

"I'll have one of the nurses give you updates. We'll be taking Mr. Ross into surgery as soon as everything is prepped."

Harvey walked over to the waiting room where he now found Jessica and Louis talking in hushed voices.

"Harvey what happened? What did the doctor tell you?" Rachel asked, latching on to his arm. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said, turning a slight shade of pink.

He cleared his throat. "It's quite alright, Rachel. I know how much he means to you." What he really wanted to do was pull her into a tight hug and tell her that everything was going to be fine. He had just spilled his heart out to an unconscious Mike, but he wasn't quite ready to share those feelings with everyone else. He knew that he wouldn't be the same man after Mike's accident.

Harvey then went on to explain what the doctor had told him…well more or less. He was a lawyer not a doctor so he could only remember half of the things the doctor had told him.

"I'm really sorry, Harvey. I know he means a lot to you, more to you than you'd like to admit," said Louis.

Avoiding his gaze, Harvey simply nodded.

"Harvey, it's OK to be upset, to hurt, to be angry and to feel." Louis didn't know what else to say to try and comfort the unfeeling Harvey. "If you need anything, please, don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you, Louis." Harvey didn't know what else to say either. He knew that he couldn't stand him most of the time, but at the moment he had his heart in the right place.

"He's a strong kid. You'll see he'll pull through and we'll have him back at the office in no time," he smiled encouragingly. "Harvey, he'll pull through and you know why?"

Harvey nodded feeling slightly confused. Sometimes, Louis did that to him; well most of the time he made him extremely angry.

"When people meet him, they think that he's alone but what they don't know is that he has you, Harvey. I see the way he looks and how he wants to be you. He will never tell you but he admires you. I mean I helped him bring in a client and he takes him over to you." They both shared a light laugh. "I can sincerely tell you that whatever happened between you guys has been eating away at him in the inside."

"Thank you, Louis. I needed to hear that," said Harvey, giving Louis a genuine smile.

"Well, I'm going to get going. If anything changes will you let me know? Louis asked.

"Of course," Harvey answered.

Harvey heard someone clear their throat behind him.

"Oh, Jessica, thank you for coming by," Harvey said lamely. He didn't really know how to handle himself in these types of situations it was almost awkward and Harvey Specter didn't do awkward. He felt like a lost puppy.

"He's my problem as much as he's yours," Jessica smiled. "I don't always show it but I do care about the people I work with, sometimes. I just want to let you know that Donna cleared out the rest of the week for you and Louis took the cases you were currently working on. If you need more time just ask." She took his hand and gave it a light squeeze.

"Thank you," he said. That's all he could think of saying. He was still angry at her for the wedge she had driven between them and if she hadn't done so he wouldn't have been such as asshole to Mike. If she hadn't pushed Mike into a corner he would never had betrayed him. But Harvey figured he shouldn't have been such an asshole to Mike to begin with either.

"Harvey." Donna snuck up on Harvey making him jump. At least he thought she snuck up on him, but he was just completely immersed in his own thoughts he didn't notice any of his surroundings. "I'm sorry, Harvey, I didn't mean to startle you. I was just coming to let you know that the others have taken off since it's pretty late. Also, I'm going to be heading home myself but after I'm done grabbing everything I need I'll stop by your place and grab a couple of things for you."

"I can't imagine what I would do without you, Donna," he said, pulling her into a tight hug. "Donna, don't go yet. Will you stay with me a little longer?" he whispered.

"Of course," she answered. She didn't even have to think twice.

He couldn't imagine being alone in the waiting area. He didn't want to dwell further into his thoughts if he did he would probably lose it especially after what Louis had said. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to feel better but he did know that he felt worse.

So, for the next couple of hours they sat hand in hand hoping that Mike would not give them another scare.

"Harvey, wake up," said Donna, tapping his face lightly. He'd fallen asleep on her shoulder, it sounded sweet but it was rather uncomfortable.

"Huh?" he said, feeling a little disoriented.

"It's early…well late. I guess it depends on how you look at it. You haven't eaten in hours and you could use some real sleep as well as some clean clothes," she smiled.

"Who's going to stay with Mike?" he asked.

"Are you really asking that question? Obviously, I am."

"No, it's okay. I didn't let you sleep all night. Plus, we both can't go missing at the office. Someone has to be there to keep Louis on his toes," he smiled.

"Be nice. He was being very nice yesterday," said Donna.

"I know. I just feel like I'm going to go crazy," he said running his hand through his hair.

"Well we didn't hear any bad news about Mike. No bad news is better than no news?" she said hopeful.

"I suppose in this case, you're right. Donna, you're always right," he said smiling.

"I know, Harvey. I'll go get an update on him and you go get us some coffee. I'll ignore the fact that you're going to say no and walk away now," she smiled back.

A couple minutes later Harvey came back with two coffees and two bagels for both him and Donna.

"How's Mike doing?" he asked Donna as soon as he saw her.

"Well we aren't allowed to see him, yet, but according to his doctor he seems to be doing better," Donna informed him.

"Well that's good, right?" he asked

"I agree, definitely great. Oh, and thank you for the coffee and bagel. I'm heading out now. I'll come back as soon as Jessica will allow it," she said. She bit her bottom lip nervously.

"What is it, Donna?" Harvey asked a little impatient. He didn't mean to sound rude. After all, Donna had been an angel through the hell he'd been through. He would have to re-evaluate his relationship with Donna, too. Maybe there was more there than he would have ever thought, but that would be left for another time.

"Go home. Mike won't be waking up soon and you need rest too. I could stop by and wake you up. Please, Harvey?" she pleaded with her eyes.

"I'll tell you what, Donna. I'll go home take a shower and grab a bite to eat and head right back. I don't feel comfortable just leaving him here," he said. He felt like it was abandoning a puppy at a shelter.

"That's not the point. You need rest, too," she fumed.

"I'll rest when I'm dead," he said feeling irritated. "This conversation is over."

They both stood in the middle of the waiting area staring at each other. She could see the storm of emotions that was taking place inside of Harvey. She wanted to be angry at him for being stubborn but she didn't have the heart. She had known him for years and never had she seem him so tired, worn down and scared. She thought he was unbreakable and uncaring. Donna figured he could thank his job and his childhood for most of it. However, she always thought it would be a woman who would be the one to worm her way into his heart and break through all those barriers. Never, in her wildest dreams, did she think it was going to be some non-attending Harvard kid who would melt Harvey's heart.


Thank you for waiting! I've been working so much lately so I haven't been able to update as quickly as I would like and I wasn't too sure where I wanted this to go. Only one chapter left! It wasn't meant to be long. Hopefully we'll get into the AU next. Reviews are welcomed, please!
