Okay, I kind of went overboard with this xD But here it is, what you've all been waiting for!
1x11 scene in Harvey's office about him being subpoenaed, the scene between Donna and Mike didn't happen so she didn't know he went to dinner with Cameron Dennis until the subpoena came in.
Donna walks inside Harvey's office angrily, she can't believe he went to dinner with that bastard Cameron Dennis and didn't tell her about it! He's looking out of the windows with a basketball in his hand his shoulders hunched over. "So when were you going to tell me you went to dinner with Dennis?!" she asks him with betrayal in her voice. Harvey's shoulders tense and he places the basketball back on its stand slowly. "Donna, please don't." Okay now she is pissed, where does he think he gets off thinking he can hide things from her! Hell, they live together, she wants to marry him, so why does he hide something like this from her?!
"Harvey, I understand that it is a difficult situation for you, but what I don't get is why you hid it from me!" When she sees him look down at the floor she decides that enough is enough, "He is poison Harvey! Leaving there was huge, you could have gone down a dark road. And I'm telling you, I would not have followed." Harvey raises his head sharply and looks at her darkly, "He was still my mentor! And I'm not just going to throw him to the wolves!" He shouts at her rapidly, surprising Donna but it doesn't diminish her anger at all, "Damn it Harvey! Don't you get it! He was never your mentor, Jessica always has been! I don't think you realize what your loyalty to him can destroy."
She wants to cry, why doesn't he see that this could destroy not only his career but also his relationships. "I am not ratting him out Donna! And what would you know about loyalty huh?!" The moment he spoke the words he knew that it was the biggest mistake he ever made, he sees the tears leave Donna's eyes and he takes a step to her wanting to apologise and comfort her but stops when he sees her take a step back. Donna shakes her head, the love that she feels for this man is unconditional, but during hardships like this she wonders if her love would ever be enough for him.
"Maybe you do know what it can destroy, because you just broke me. Harvey, he will cross you and the last thing I want to happen is for you to get hurt." Harvey feels his own tears escape his eyes when he hears Donna's words spoken in a very calm but tearful voice. "Love, I didn't mean it like that. I just really don't know what to do." How could he be so stupid and say something like that?
"It doesn't matter Harvey. And I have been by your side for more than a decade now, if that isn't loyalty, then maybe you're right and I don't know what loyalty is." No, no, no, this can't happen! He cannot lose Donna over Cameron fucking Dennis! When he sees Donna head for the door he feels his world crumble, "Donna! There is no one in this whole world that I'm more loyal to than you!" He sees her halt in the opening and feels the hope rise in his heart. "Right now I'm not so sure about that." And when he sees her leave he feels all the hope leave his body with her and for the first time he lets the real fear of losing Donna forever in and it scares the hell out of him.
Grabbing the lamp standing on the desk behind him he hurls it at the glass doors and screams in agony. The image of Donna with tears in her eyes after he hurt her enters his brain and he feels every fibre in his body burning in fear, the fear of losing Donna makes him snap and he grabs the ends of his desk and throws the table upside down angrily. He drops to his knees next to his belongings on the ground and feels the tears run down his cheeks.
In a far away recognition he notices Jessica and Mike running inside, the latter immediately running to his side while Jessica looks around the room in astonishment and anger.
"What the hell is going on Harvey?!" She asks him directly. He looks at Mike and Jessica and he feels more tears leave his eyes, "Donna left me…" He sees Jessica's face change from anger and curiosity to disbelieve and shock, Mike's concerned face doesn't change at all, it only grows even more concerned. "What?" It takes him a minute to find his voice and when he does it's still the quackiest it's ever been, "I'm being subpoenaed to testify against Dennis, and I had dinner with him last night and didn't tell her about it. She found the subpoena and we fought and I said something really stupid and she looked so hurt and I hate myself right now! Oh god, I made her cry Jessica!"
Mike got up from where he was kneeling next to Harvey and left the room, someone had to go after Donna and make sure she is okay.
Jessica looks at him pitiful, "What did you say?" He shakes his head, he can't believe he said those words to Donna, she is the love of his life and now he might lose her. "I told her she doesn't know anything about loyalty…." The snort that leaves Jessica's mouth was not intentional, but she couldn't help herself, the concept of Donna not being loyal is just so adverse to her. "You have got to be kidding me! I have never seen someone be as loyal as Donna is too you. And you're being subpoenaed to testify against Dennis?""Yes, and I don't want to talk about it. And I'm not giving him up!" Harvey feels like he is heading into his second fight for the day and all he wants is for the ground to just swallow him up. "I'm going to represent you at this deposition and try to keep you from talking, but I think you should." Why do both women want him to rat out his former mentor, is he really that bad and he just can't see it? "You're just like Donna! I'm not ratting him out!"
Even just saying her name makes him ache all over.
"Donna and I both want what is best for you, and this case has the power to destroy your entire career! Look what is has done already to your relationship with Donna, she is your future wife Harvey! He will pull you down a dark road, destroying everything that comes in his path."
All he can do is shake his head, he knows both woman are right but he really hates being a snitch.
"Now I suggest you go home and fix things with Donna." Walking out of the room he grabs his phone and presses call. He hears the line ring once, twice, third and at the fourth ring he hears her soft voice, "I don't want to talk to you Harvey. I'm going to stay at my own apartment tonight and I'll see you at work tomorrow." Shit, she's staying in her own apartment?! He really screwed up.
He heads home and doesn't contact Donna again, knowing it would only antagonise her even more.
It's the early afternoon after the big fight and Jessica is reading through some files in her office, hearing a knock on the glass door she looks up and is surprised to see Donna standing in the opening.
She immediately stands up and walks to her, she knows her and Harvey haven't made up, she could tell that much from his face this morning when they were at his deposition. He looked like he hadn't slept at all and the humongous bags under Donna's eyes confirmed it for her.
"Donna, are you ok?" Jessica wants to ask a lot more questions but she feels that that would just scare the woman away. Donna's lips curl up in a smile what looks more like a grimace, "I've been better. Harvey is never going to give him up and I'm not going to let him take the fall for that asshole." Donna slowly sits down on the chair in Jessica's office and hands her a file, "Despite what Harvey thinks, I do know loyalty and it's to him. So could you please use this and get him out of this mess." Jessica almost feels like crying, she can clearly see that Donna is hurting a lot.
"Donna… He didn't mean that, he's a wreck, he destroyed his entire office yesterday because he hated himself for making you cry." Donna slowly shakes her head, this whole situation is just so messed up, "He might not have meant it, but he still said it. I feel like I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for him to realize that he's not with his heart in the relationship." Jessica immediately stands up and kneels in front of the now crying woman and grabs her hands softly.
"Donna, that man is completely and irrevocably in love with you. He just doesn't know how to show it. But believe me when I say he is in it with his heart." Suddenly her office door swings open and she sees Harvey run inside, "Donna! Hey!" Jessica smiles in her head, seeing Harvey stumble inside at just the sight of Donna is adorable and she really hopes that these two fix things, because they really are the power couple of Pearson Hardman.
She is almost pushed over when Harvey jumps in front of Donna and grabs her face with both of his hands and rests his forehead on hers, "I am so happy to see you! I didn't mean what I said, you know everything about loyalty! Hell, you've put up with me for more than a decade! I love you so so much!" Donna shakes Harvey's hands of her face and gets out of her seat, Jessica sees Harvey's face fall with tears forming in his eyes.
Donna turns around sharply and points at Harvey with one of the angriest looks Jessica has ever seen on her face. "I'm not mad about that, that just hurt me a lot. I'm mad because you can't see what I've seen from the beginning, that Cameron Dennis is poison and will bleed you dry if needs be… And you know what, I'm not the one with the loyalty issues here! Both Jessica and I want what's best for you, but you still won't listen!" Jessica feels slightly uncomfortable that she is witnessing two of her employees fight, but this is Donna and Harvey, and they are her friends so she steps away from her position as managing partner in this situation and hopes that maybe she can help, and they all know Harvey can use all the help he can get if it concerns his emotions. Al though if she's being honest, she quite agrees with Donna.
"Why are you so sure he will cross me Donna?! Cause he needs my help, so why would he jeopardise that?" The tears are now falling quickly over Donna's cheeks and the smile she gives at him is dripping with finality, as if the next moment will determine their entire relationship.
"I called in a favour from someone close to Dennis, I asked her what his next move is. You know what she said… That he is going to turn against you, apparently he has been building a case against you as a back up for years, you know for when someone got to close to finding out about all of the skeletons in his closet!" What! Jessica's eyes grow twice their normal size, she looks at Harvey and is devastated to see that his eyes are full of defeat, he opens his mouth to speak but nothing but her name comes out of it.
"But you don't need to worry, it will all be taken care of, as I once again put my ass on the line for you! Same goes for Jessica! For more then a decade now both of us have stood by you! Jessica is the reason you are who you are today Harvey! So instead of fighting for him, you should start fighting for Jessica." She's not sure Harvey can even identify all off the emotions he's feeling right now but she reckons they come close to fear, admiration, bewilderment, confusion and finality. "What about you?" he asks her, Jessica knows there is two ways this can go, they either fix it or they are done right now.
"You don't need to fight for me anymore Harvey." "No!" Harvey walks directly in front of Donna and grabs her hand, "I will never stop fighting for you Donna, you want to know where my loyalties lay?"
Donna just shakes her head slowly, she knows he is about to swoon her and she doesn't want to be swooned. "With you. About a year ago I bought this beautiful ring, they might as well have called it Donna's because it is just you. I knew from the moment we first kissed that you are the one, I might have only bought it last year but I knew that I was going to propose to you the moment we first said our I love you's and you are wrong I do know loyalty. I am loyal to Jessica because you are right, I owe her my life but there is one more person I'm even more loyal to… And that person is you, and not because you love me or I love you, I'm loyal to you because you are love, I'm horrible at emotions as everyone knows but when I look at you or think of you they all become clear to me."
He places his head on hers and their tears melt together on her cheeks, "Then why won't you listen?" Both Harvey and Jessica are happy to hear that Donna's voice is no longer angry and has shifted to love with still a bit of sadness. "Because I don't like to rat people out, regardless of what they did. And when have I ever listened before?" The last sentence he delivers with a teasing tone and he feels his heart dance in his chest when he is rewarded with a smile from Donna.
"Yes." His eyebrows frown slightly in confusion and he asks her, "Yes? What do you mean?" Earlier when his heart started dancing when he got a smile from her, it is nothing compared to what his heart does when he suddenly feels her hands and lips on his face. "Yes, I will marry you Harvey."
Okay, now she is just trying to give him a heart attack, "That wasn't a proposal babe, that was simply the truth." Donna wraps her arms around his shoulders and nuzzles her face in his neck, "It's still a yes." Harvey lets out a happy laugh and hugs her around the waist slightly spinning them around. "Well then just let me ask you officially so you can officially say yes!" He motions to Jessica who immediately grabs the small box from her drawer, her and Harvey had decided to keep it in her office because Donna would easily find it in Harvey's and she wouldn't snoop around in Jessica's office contrary to Louis and Mike's.
She handed Harvey the little box who slowly unwrapped his arms around Donna's and got down on one knee. Donna looked at the both of them surprised and started tearing up when Harvey began to speak, "Donna Roberta Paulsen, you are the love of my life and I have never met someone who is as tenacious, fearsome, mind-blowing and kind as you are. You make me smile when all I want to do is cry and make me cry when I'm dying from laughter. I will spend the rest of my life loving you and being loyal to you. I can only hope that our children will be as perfect as you are. I love you Donna Paulsen, will you marry me?"
The tears streaming down Jessica's face are nothing compared to the sobs coming out of Donna's eyes, "Yes! Yes! God Harvey, yes!" Harvey's face morphs into a ginormous grin and he softly slides the ring onto Donna's ring finger. Donna pulls Harvey's face up to hers and gives him a very wet kiss, immediately kissing her back his hands match Donna's and he lovingly caresses her cheeks.
Slowly their tongues come out to play and they instantly open their mouths to let the other one in, tracing circles around each other with the love pulsating in both of their tongues. Getting excited Harvey moves one of his hands from Donna's face and traces it down her back until it is resting on the top of her butt cheek, moving it even lower he takes hold of the rounded bottom and he presses their lower bodies together. Jessica is starting to get uncomfortable and knows they are going to get handsy in a minute and seeing as they are currently making out in the glass encased office of the managing partner of a law firm, with said managing partner still in the room she knows that they need to be stopped right now.
"Guys!" Crap they are too far gone, is all Jessica can think as they don't respond, she knows that they are not ignoring her, they are just way to wrapped up in each other to hear her. So she walks towards the couple and grabs both of their shoulder and pushes them away from the other. "Guys go home, spend some time with each other and I will take care of the Dennis situation." There is an impish grin on Harvey's face and she really doesn't want to think about what they'll do when they are home. She has already seen it once and she doesn't need a reminder.
