Ch.12
"I'm crying out, I'm going down
On the edge and I need You now, my Savior"
"OF ALL THE DAYS FOR PERSON-SPECTER TO GET ATTACKED BY A RAVAGING CASE!" Harvey shouted as he and Donna stalked down the hall.
"What do you mean?" She shouted over the noise of rapid associates calling back and forth over the phones or across from each other. They both ignored the loud talking or screaming that whipped through the air and crashed into them. He rolled his eyes.
"I mean I'm pissed!" He said angrily taking the folder from her hand and flipped through it. She rolled her eyes.
"What could possibly piss you off this much, Harvey?" She said taking back the folder he already looked over earlier and focused on walking over to the court doors.
"I mean– oh come on!" Harvey cried as they are stared at the mess of scattered paper on the floor. They both froze for a short moment then someone came rushing out the doors running towards them as Harvey pushed Donna against the wall. Harvey instantly covered her sides. The world exploded into a million colors around them as the explosion of people came dashing in and out of Pearson-Specter.
"Be careful!" He shouted over the noise. She coughed as the air was suddenly knocked out of her.
"I am careful!" She shot back before she promptly flipped them around and dodged another dashing associate. Harvey flipped them again and shoved her down just as several others appeared from the door way.
"Is that your definition of careful? That's what I call reckless!" He scoffed. She stared at him like he was crazy.
"Are you going to continue to insult my field skills or are we actually going to the court room?" She shouted just as the sound the printer stopped. One of the associates growled at their misfortune. She grumbled and swiftly pushed Harvey off her and stared into each other's eyes for a quick moment. They both froze as another crowd of associates ran into the already over crowded bullpen and made the entire hall shake and start to slant inward.
"That's it! To hell with tradition! Donna, I have something to ask you!" Harvey shouted as he covered her from a rushing associate with a cart rapidly zooming down the small hall. She stared up at him in disbelief.
"NOW?" She shouted as she picked up the folder she had dropped from their spinning sections. He paused and watched her raging brown eyes – damn was he lucky she was on his side. He shook his head and looked back at her questioning eyes.
"YES NOW!" He said before he promptly pulled them away from the chaos and shoved her against the wall just as the floor was becoming a mob of people and stood around the stopped printer. They were in a shit load of work. He stared at her with all the love in the world.
"Donna Paulsen, even if we are all about to go to hell with this case - will you marry me?" He asked her earnestly. Donna froze and nearly crashed to the floor if Harvey hadn't been supporting both their weight at the moment.
All the agonizing noises drained out of her senses and all she was left with was his words ringing in her ears.
Marry me. Marry me. Marry me. Marry me. Marry me.
"Donna?" Harvey said worriedly. Donna started shaking.
"YOU'RE ASKING ME THIS NOW?" She shouted angrily.
He blinked.
"Um...yes?" Harvey said nervously. She glared at him with the darkest expression he had ever seen. He gulped.
"Dude - you totally butchered the proposal code of conduct." An associate said shaking his head beside the frozen duo.
"SHUT UP! YOU'RE PART OF THE DAMN PROBLEM TOO!" Donna said before she promptly glared daggers at the bastard who should be working. She took a couple of deep ragged breaths before she glanced back at her nervous looking partner.
"Harvey, I may not know a lot about normal relationships, but trust me, even I know this is far from normal. This is a freaking war zone!" She exclaimed in disbelief. He laughed nervously.
"Is that a 'yes' though?" He asked hopefully.
Her expression clearly said she wanted to strangle him. Creak. Both their heads whipped to the right just as a group of associates slammed the doors open with another cart full of boxes. At the same time there was a hot feint smell filling the hall and through the bullpen. Harvey groaned – why me? Why today?
"Shit! There's a fire!" Jessica shouted down the hall. Harvey quickly glanced back at the only partner he wanted to have for the rest of his life. Her hair fell across her face as a wave of fire flashed over their heads - they drowned out everything, except each other.
"What's it going to be, Donna?" Harvey whispered holding her by her shoulders. She glanced back and forth between his serious eyes and at the mounting chaos that surrounded them.
She was barely able to mouth her answer before a bright light flashed across the room blinding everyone in sight.

Three hours later - the world was no longer a colorful battlefield.
Jessica fearfully stood in front of her angry Senior Partner, waiting for his reprimand for royally screwing up his case and causing this big disaster.
SLAP!
"That's what you get for allowing the associates in the bullpen with last minute insane cases!" Jessica Pearson shouted angrily. Louis Litt winced from the sting, but sighed in relief on the inside.
At least she didn't kill him point blank
"Where are Harvey and Donna?" She asked through gritted teeth.
"Right there." He said as he weakly pointed at the room beside them. They both glanced into the white room and at the sad scene inside.
"She said yes! She said yes!" Harvey whispered excitedly as he pitifully made a fist pump with his broken arm from an associate that rammed a cart into him when he wasn't looking– however he was in a euphoric state of mind at the moment. They both stood in the doorway and stared at the delirious lawyer. She turned around and gave Louis a look.
"Tell me he doesn't look like that because he was too busy trying to charm his secretary?" She said cautiously. He raised his hands above his head.
"I can't blame him - she looks pretty charmed." Louis said warily staring at the sleeping secretary lying on the bed beside Harvey with a slight smile on her face.
"Where's the ring?" Mike asked curiously. Louis pointed at the necklaces hanging from both their necks.
"Right there." He said quietly.
A/N: Best proposal ever?…HA...at least the wedding day won't be as crazy...right?
