Epilogue

Eight Years Later

Mike was out of breath as he ran after the littlest member of the Specter family.

"Abby," he cried out. "I'm going to get you!"

The little girl didn't even bother to look back as she dashed across the different associates' cubicles, her strawberry blonde curls bouncing behind her.

At four years old, she had the whole firm at her fingertips, but none more so than her own father, Uncle Mike and well, Louis.

Mike finally heaved a sigh of relief as Louis's door opened and he caught the little girl.

"Uncle Louie," she said, laughter in her voice, "come play!"

Louis looked at Mike, who was currently very out of breathe, "Really, Ross? Can't even catch a little girl."

By this time, Abigail Specter had wiggled out of Louis' grasp and was busying herself inside his office, playing with random items on his desk. "She's fast!" Mike cried out. "And cunning, too...she skirted around me using the elevator. I didn't even know she could use them. But I mean, she does have Donna for a mother..."

Louis nodded his agreement. "You cannot fight that fire," he commented, looking far off and in awe.

Mike nodded awkwardly at the man's words and actions. Finally, he approached Abby and grabbed her from behind, carrying her so she wouldn't run away anymore. "C'mon," he told her as she giggled against him in resistance, "I promised your mother I wouldn't let you dirty your dress."

Louis waved his goodbye to Abby and said, "I'll meet you all there." And Mike nodded his agreement.

Abby finally wiggled her way out of Mike's grip as he set foot in Harvey's office. "Daddy!" she cried out gleefully, launching herself at Harvey, who was talking to Jessica.

Harvey didn't even falter though, picking up his little girl, giving her a quick kiss, and spinning her around before finally settling her on his hips as he continued to converse with Jessica.

Mike sunk onto Harvey's couch, closing his eyes and catching his breath. He felt someone tap him on the forehead and opened his eyes to Donna's smiling face. "She outran you again, didn't she?" she commented jokingly.

"She's fast for her age," Mike said exasperatedly. Donna laughed as Nicholas, who had walked in with his mother, walked over to his little sister to high-five her. Mike looked at Donna, "Do you really encourage your children to tag team me?"

The two siblings laughed as Mike finally got off the sofa and pretended to chase after them.

"No more running," Donna said, and then she added (her tone very motherly), "Harvey!"

Harvey, having done his conversation with Jessica and now just watching the scene with an amused expression caught his son and held on to him. "Nick," he said and looked at the boy pointedly but still with a playful smile. The boy shrugged, looking at his father and nodded his head, opting instead to fill Harvey in on one of his baseball practices.

Meanwhile, Donna had managed to get Abby in her lap and was currently trying to braid her hair as she desperately tried to wiggle about. "Stay still, sweetheart," she said to her daughter.

Jessica laughed, enjoying the everyday workings of the Specter family. She looked at Mike and said, "You should get use to all this, Mr. Ross...you'll be doing it soon enough."

"Not for another seven months or so," Mike said, a little worriedly.

Donna laughed and said, "That's sooner than you might think. I mean, I can't believe your wedding was already a year ago. Time moves past, Mike."

At the mention of wedding, Donna looked at Harvey. He smiled slightly at her and she just knew he was thinking about theirs. Because she is, too.

..::..

They had waited two years before they tied the knot. A little out of way place, they both didn't want anything extravagant.

They had it at a small chapel, the decorations were modest and they only had their closest friends (yes, even Louis) and family there. In truth, part of the waiting had been due to Stephen's recovery—which suited everyone just fine since it was hard to juggle a baby and a wedding plus work and other activities.

Donna's family was all in attendance. Her parents were less than impressed in the beginning, with the way that Donna had kept the pregnancy from them, too; they came around eventually, though, the sight of their beautiful grandson taking away any feeling of resentment.

The day had been perfect or well, perfect for them. Harvey had stood at the front of the altar, Stephen by his side as the best man. Meanwhile, they had Nicholas as the ring bearer, but because he was too small to walk by himself, Mike had carried him in - both of them in matching suits (as per Donna's request). Rachel was Donna's maid of honour with her niece, Glenda, as the flower girl.

Harvey swears to Donna that she literally took his breath away when she had walked in. She was a vision in white, her red tresses in a messy but sophisticated bundle on her head. She looked simple, no veil, beautiful gown and a small pile of lilies as a bouquet.

To Donna, there was no sight she loved more than when she saw Harvey standing there. Their gaze never once left each other. And the closer she approached; she saw his eyes were wet with tears. As he took her hand to let them stand together at the altar, she whispered in his ear, "I didn't bring a tampon for the pool of tears in your eyes."

He smiled at her before leaning in as well and saying, "Don't worry, I got it."

Donna looked at him, biting her lip to stop herself from laughing as they faced the priest; only then realizing that her own eyes were watery, too.

The ceremony moved along and since they both decided to write their own vows, they had a chance to read that to each other and share it with the people they loved most.

Harvey was first, starting his speech by taking Donna's hand in his and saying, "I honestly wouldn't know what to do with my life without you. And I know that we might've taken a long route, maybe even done this thing backwards, but I knew we would be here someday. Because you're my best friend, you're my partner—in crime—, you're the mother of my child, and you're everything I could ever hope to find in this world. And I promise that I will be here for you, always listen to you, make you laugh, and well, always love you."

Donna smiled at his sheepish look before starting her own, "You're just that thorn in my side I can't remove…because I really don't want to. We're a team. You're my team. And I wouldn't want it any other way. We have so much together and I cannot imagine my life without you in it. It will always be you and me, forever. For all of our days. I love you, Harvey."

Short, simple, and to the point; that had been their deal about the vows. The priest then proceeded to move along the ceremony. They had the exchange of the rings, candles and what-have-you; until finally, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." And Harvey did as he was told, kissing Donna with all the happiness he felt at that moment just as she matched his with her own.

And as they faced the crowd together, the priest announced, "I introduce you all to Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Specter."

With that Harvey offered his hand to Donna, "Shall we, Mrs. Specter?" She took it and smiled back, "Don't mind if I do, Mr. Specter.

..::..

"…Specter." Donna caught the end of Mike's rant as she was pulled from her memory by his voice.

She was trying to get Abby to sit still in her lap and said, "What?"

Mike sighed, "I said, you guys owe me a Michael Specter."

Harvey snorted. Donna raised her eyebrows at Mike while Nicholas perked up and said, "Am I getting a brother?"

At his words, Abby looked up at Donna and said, "Sister?"

Donna sighed, "No, honey. No." She looked at Harvey, "Did you agree to this?"

Harvey laughed, "What? I remember nothing of this sort."

Mike looked at him. "What are you talking about? We were right here in this office; right after Abby was born. You said something about a condition, and since I'm really the reason of how you guys got together in the first place, you said: 'Fine, Mike, we will name one after you'."

While Mike was talking, Abby had fought her way out of Donna's grasp and was now tugging on Nicholas' arm for them to play or what-have-you. "She wants a snack, Mom," he said to Donna.

Donna sighed, "Fine. Nicholas, you can take your sister to the partner's kitchen to get a snack, but nothing messy, alright?"

Her son nodded and took his sister's hand, leading her out of the office. Donna then turned back to Mike, "How do you figure all that again?"

"Well, if it wasn't for my little stunt with the pot, Harvey would never have had the epiphany. And then, it was me who you were talking to in the hallway when Louis appeared to have listened in on our conversation. Thus prompting him to black mail you guys to a dinner that lead to…"

Donna closed her eyes and sighed. Finally Harvey spoke up, "Just keep your voice down, pup. I wouldn't want Louis hearing you; he'd find a way to twist that story and the next thing you know I'll have to owe him a Louis Specter." He shuddered.

Donna looked at her husband, "Really? That's what you're worried about? You're not at all concerned that Mike seems to know detailed information about our private life?"

Harvey shrugged at his wife, grinning, "I figured you told Rachel everything anyways."

Donna stared at her husband and waved her hand in the air, "Okay, fine. Never mind. But, why are you promising people children, Harvey? That wasn't part of our condition. I believed I've fulfilled that one already, and perfectly if I might add."

Harvey nodded and looked at Mike, "I'm sorry, Mike; but you are welcome to name your kid after me, you should if you want him to succeed.

Mike looked at them blankly, "I'm cannot believe you guys are backing out of this, that's uncool."

Donna looked at him, "Your request is uncool. I can't just be popping out babies to name after you, Mike. That's ridiculous."

"Yes," Harvey agreed. "And what if our next born is a girl?"

Before anyone else could continue the conversation, Rachel walked in with both Nicholas and Abigail. Upon seeing the state in which her daughter's dress was in now, Donna asked, "What happened?"

Nick looked at her and gave her the inherited Specter smile (gosh, they all knew she was powerless against it). "She said she wanted the Cheetos," Nick said. "So, I gave her some. I looked away for one second, Mom, and it was all over her."

Harvey sighed, standing up and grabbing Nick by the shoulders, "It's okay, buddy. You know we always bring like ten dresses for you sister."

Donna nodded and smiled at the both of them, grabbing hold of Abby and walking off to change her. "We can go right after I change her."

Their little group (family, really) had all been invited by Sammy to a play he was doing that night, hence why they were all together. It was supposed to be appropriate enough for the kids and Sammy seemed really excited about the whole thing that none of them can say no.

..::..

After Donna finally got their daughter dressed, they all made their way to the show venue. Upon arriving, Sammy spotted them right away—with Louis already there with him. Hugs and kisses ensued.

Donna, Rachel, and Jessica all headed to the bathroom to freshen up a bit before the show.

Nick was eagerly talking to Sammy, "Uncle Sam, are you coming to my baseball game next week."

Sammy looked at Harvey who beamed proudly at his son, "Yes." He nodded. "You're dad told me the good news. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Nick grinned. "Yeah, we made it to the championships!" He then looked at his dad, "And since our couch can't make it, my dad is coaching and Uncle Mike is going to be his assistant."

Sammy ruffled the kid's hair gently and then fixed it again. He looked at Harvey, "The great Harvey Specter coaches little league now?"

Harvey laughed as Nicky made his way out of their circle group to see his mom, who was approaching. "The great Harvey Specter is now fully domesticated," he replied. "And I wouldn't want it any other way."

Sammy nodded. After the initial awkwardness, they had become fast friends. He admired Harvey's dedication to his best friend and their children. No client would ever be more important than his family. Despite the hectic schedule he kept, well they both kept, the two had never missed a single baseball game, recital or what-have-you. They were very hands-on when it came to Abby and Nick; and it showed. Their children were absolutely adorable, behaved well enough and were little intuitive geniuses.

As the ladies returned from the washroom, Donna looked at Sammy, "Are we going to like this play?"

Sammy gave her a look, "I'm in it, aren't I?" They laughed, as Sammy turned her attention to Rachel, "So, how's our next mommy to be?"

Rachel sighed, "Tired. Like all the time." She then looked at Abby, who her husband was currently carrying, and was tugging on her arm. "Yes, little princess?"

"When can I play with baby?" she asked, adorably.

"Well, soon," Rachel explained. "You'll be the first one the baby plays with, I promise." The little girl nodded enthusiastically while Rachel looked at Donna and Harvey, "I think your daughter wants a playmate."

The two looked at one another as Donna replied, "We don't just give our children everything they want. We don't like to spoil them."

To that, Nick butted in, "Plus, I've been asking way longer for a brother than she has for a sister."

Harvey laughed. Before he could respond, Louis approached them from whoever he was talking to and announced that the show was already letting people sit inside. Sammy took that as his cue to leave and prepare for the show; and everyone wished him good luck and 'to break a leg'.

At the sight of Louis, Abby cried, "Uncle Louie…"

Harvey turned to his daughter and gave her a look. She giggled, "Oh right, weird Uncle Louie, carry me!"

Louis turned to Harvey. "Seriously?" as he took Abby from Mike's arms.

"Seriously," Harvey replied, grabbing a hold of Donna's hands as they entered the theatre.

Once seated, everyone settled. Jessica, Louis, Rachel and Mike were on the aisle above Harvey, Donna, Abby and Nick. The theatre grew dim and Nick said, "Don't we get popcorn?"

Donna turned to her son, "Honey, it's a play. You can buy something during intermission."

"Inter—what?" he asked.

"During the break," Donna explained with a smile, she then turned to her left side as she felt Harvey's hands on hers, "Yes, do you want popcorn, too?"

He smiled at her suggestively, Donna rolled her eyes and whispered, "Well, you can't have that here." He shrugged, the smile never leaving her face and kissed her hand lightly.

Meanwhile, Abby was being restless in her seat. So , Harvey turned to her and said, "What's wrong, princess?"

She looked at him, wide eyed and smiling. She looked so much like Donna but he likes to think she got his nose. "Lap," she said, pointing at him.

Harvey let go of his hold of Donna's hand and fulfilled his daughter's request. As she settled on his lap, he felt Donna lean in, "You know she'll be asleep in fifteen minutes in that position, right?"

Harvey nodded, "All the better. I don't really want her screaming if she sees Uncle Sammy on stage."

As the play started, everyone began to pay attention. Whilst Donna was very proud of Sammy, this was honestly one of the most boring plays she's ever seen and it was only an hour into the show. She looked up to see Jessica sneaking a peek at her phone. Rachel had her head on Mike' shoulders, she was watching, but Mike looked like he was dozing off. Louis, Louis was the only one he looked enamored by the whole thing.

Donna turned back as she felt something hit her arm; Nick had dozed off beside her. Repositioning his head more comfortably in the crook of her arm, she turned to Harvey, "We are never going to say yes to another one of his plays."

Harvey laughed softly. "I may have promised him that we'll go again next week, right after Nick's baseball game."

She looked at him. "Why are you promising people random things without my knowledge?" she asked.

"Is this about the baby we owe Mike?" Harvey replied, playfully.

Donna sighed, "You do realize if we give in to that, it will be like a zoo in her house. Plus, Nick wants a brother but Abby wants a sister."

"Have we ever been able to deny our children anything?" Harvey asked her.

Donna giggled, "Oh, Mr. Specter, what are you doing to me?"

He raised his eyebrow at her, "Well, nothing yet. But I can think of a few things."

Before Donna could respond, Louis poked his head in between theirs. "Umm, as much as I'm loving your conversation right now, I'm actually liking this play and would like to see it finish." Harvey and Donna gave him a sheepish look. "Oh, and also," he added, "you owe me a kid as well, Louis or Louisa is fine. After all, if it wasn't for my blackmailing you to go to dinner with my parents, who knows where you'll be?"

With that he retracted his head and sat back in his position. Donna rolled her eyes at Harvey. "How are we suddenly owing everyone children?"

"Well, we did make two of the world's most adorable kids," Harvey whispered to her. "It would actually be a shame not to continue."

He smiled at her, the one she knew she was irresistible to. She leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips, "I will think about it, Mr. Specter."

"You do that, Mrs. Specter," he replied, while placing his arm around her and allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder.

Rachel, who had been watching the whole exchange (a lot more than she was paying attention to the play) smiled in her seat. She looked up and saw that her husband had a huge smile on his face, too. "They're something, huh?" she said.

He nodded, "Yeah, they are. But we are, too." But Rachel knew he was so very happy for Harvey and Donna, he was technically the honorary oldest brother in the Specter clan. She smiled as he took out his phone and snapped a shot. He showed it to her…

You can only see the back of their heads, but it was a good shot. You can see little Abby's strawberry-blonde curls as they rested on Harvey, who had his arms around Donna's, whose arm Nicky's head was currently resting on. The Specter Family.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I just wanted to thank everybody who stuck around long enough to read the whole story. I understand it got a little tedious and frustrating at one point, but it was the way the story had written itself in my head (and I'm not apologizing for that). So, once again, THANK YOU. Your reviews were all very gracious and made me want to write more. As for this story, I'm not sure if it is quite done. I'm not planning a sequel but maybe a bunch of one shots surrounding The Specter clan. I do have another idea for a story but since I have school, I'm not sure if I'll get around to it, hopefully. It's been a great ride you guys, thank you so much! :)
