Ok, so we have started the new Season of SUITS. How many of us Darvey fans are really, really disappointed and outraged at Harvey and his therapist?

Anyway a shout out to AnonymousDH - I love your tumblr Specter Family At Christmas - I saved it and hope you don't mind.

Donna Meets Lily
Chapter 33
Donna dragged her bags through Logan International. She was so tired. The pregnancy was contributing to that fatigue. That she was told by the doctor when he confirmed she was pregnant. She would be suffering from some symptoms that, perhaps, she had never had experienced previously. Such is the beginnings of motherhood and one of the best times in Donna's life, she hoped.
As she had finished the last leg of her trip from Chicago, she realized how much baggage she was bringing home to her husband. Not only a baby but a possible lawsuit from the studio and/or producers. She felt so sad all of a sudden. However, at the sight of her in-laws and Lily's outstretched arms and warm smile from Bobby, it soothed the weariness in her body and made her hopeful to see her husband. The joy she felt was almost as if it were her own parents standing there.
"Donna, honey. I am so happy you're home," Lily hugged her while Bobby took her bags.
"Where's your luggage?" Bobby wondered which carousel contained Donna's big suitcases she took with her to LA when she was preparing to leave again.
"Oh, I called someone. I'm having the rest of my stuff shipped to Harvey's...our place in New York."
Lily caught her eye when Donna said 'Harvey's'. She hoped her son had not made his wife unwelcome in his once bachelor pad. When Donna corrected herself, Lily suddenly hugged her again and then without permission opened Donna's trench coat which Donna had with some difficulty pulled out of the overhead compartment when she started to get chilled during the flight.
Lily noticed Donna's small taut bump which Lily had never seen before.
"You're going to have a baby! Was this the surprise you were keeping?" Lily said. Her hands flew to her face and her eyes were lit up with happiness.
"Donna that's wonderful!" Bobby said. "Harvey will be over the moon!"
"Do you think so?" Donna asked still a little doubtful.
"Yes. Absolutely," Lily said clasping Donna's hand which Donna squeezed tightly in return.
"If this is it, then I guess we should get you home," Bobby said holding out the few pieces of luggage she had carried with her.
"Home. Harvey," Donna said quietly to herself. She smiled. She was going home to Harvey and their life together.
Harvey had been dozing in front of the TV watching one of his old favorite James Bond movies when he heard a clunk hit the door. He shot up from his seat wondering who was at his door at 1:30 in the morning.
"Donna!" Harvey exclaimed. He could not believe his eyes. His wife, as beautiful as ever, a little tired looking though, fell into his arms and he held her tightly to himself.
"Harvey...oh Harvey!" Donna said muffled from his shoulder.
"Get in here!" He pulled her inside and kissed her deeply. They continued to kiss deeply and Harvey laughed and Donna laughed.
"Just hold me."
"I am holding you and never letting you go," Harvey said kissing her again. Then he stopped and looked at her in his arms.
"Why are you here? In the middle of the night? How did you get here? How did you know I'd be here?"
Donna shut him up with a kiss.
"Can we just go to bed? I will tell you one thing why I'm home and then all the other questions can be answered when we've both gotten a little more sleep," Donna said sleepily. She stroked his cheek. Her hand came to grasp the side of his strong jaw.
"By the way, I want your entire beard back," Donna said and then kissed him one more time before Harvey picked her up and carried her upstairs to their bed.
They lay spooned together with the large thread count sheets tangled between them. Harvey woke first. His arm around Donna's waist. For him it was almost deja vu. It was reminiscent of the first time back in January when they first stayed here. Harvey had not been sleeping in the Master bedroom. He felt more comfortable in his boyhood bed and room. This is where he lay with Donna close to him. His arm around her tight.
He gently kissed her chilly cheek. The air conditioning was very cold. So cold they only noticed when they were not tangled with the other's body heat. He looked at Donna and smiled. He could barely believe she was here in his arms.
Donna clasped his hand around her waist and moved it a little lower.
"Do you feel that bump?" Donna asked sleepily.
"What is that? I felt it last night while we were making love. You don't have a tumor do you?"
"You're not serious with that supposition, are you, Counselor?" Donna said looking at him sideways. Then she decided to turn over holding his hand against the bump.
"It's not a tumor but it is sort of medical condition."
"Donna..."
"It's our baby, silly." Donna stated with a huge smile.
Harvey's mouth went agape and his hand which had been still started to rub Donna's belly. He then kissed her belly and began to talk to her stomach.
"Hey baby, it's daddy," Harvey's smile was so bright it rivaled the summer sun coming in through the window.
"A baby? Our baby? How did that happen?" Harvey softly wondered aloud to which Donna rolled her eyes.
"Well, if you don't know then I'm not going to tell you," Donna said sarcastically and then she smiled.
"Are you happy?"
"Yes, I knew I would be pleased when you became pregnant, but I never thought I would be so happy. God I love you." Harvey kissed her again and gathered in his arms. He came to gently put his head on Donna's belly. Donna rubbed his head and smiled.
"Besides the beard, I don't want you to use any more hair gel. I don't care how puppy doggish you look."
After a little more conversation, they decided to get up and get breakfast. Donna happened to glance at the clock on the wall on the way down the stairs.
"Eleven O'Clock? Boy I must still be on California time," she said as she followed Harvey down the stairs.
"No, I just wore you out early this morning..." Harvey smiled back at her with the biggest shit-eating grin. He was suffering from overly sufficient ego now that he was told Donna was pregnant. He knew other men were proud to become fathers, but he had to be the proudest.
"Listen, pretty boy, I think this baby has a lot to do with it. You have no idea. You're lucky you missed the fainting spells and the mornings I spent throwing up in my trailer."
Suddenly Harvey turned around and Donna who was watching the steps in front of him almost collided with him.
"Donna, that's normal, right?"
Donna looked up at her husband's concerned face and smiled to assure him. She placed some hair behind her ear and then took his arm.
"Yes, Harvey, that is perfectly normal." She kissed him on his cheek and said, "Thank you for being concerned and for being happy."
He put his arm around her waist and said, "I wouldn't have it any other way. That's my son you're carrying. Harvey Reginald Specter, Jr.!"
Donna rolled her eyes. "Oh boy, I think this baby created a daddy monster!"
They both laughed at the primary sounding word as they finished descending the staircase together.
Despite the light banter and the happiness in becoming parents, Donna and Harvey ate in silence.
While he was chewing the remnants of his pancake, Harvey asked, "You're very quiet. Not like you at all. You usually regale me with something I haven't done or faced."
"Harvey, I may be getting sued from the producers and/or the studio for Breach of Contract," Donna said quickly summoning all the courage she had to tell her husband that they may have an issue.
"So? We'll settle with them," Harvey said hastily. "By the way, why didn't I see this contract before you signed it?"
"I was in California and I had to sign it right there or I wasn't getting the part."
"We got'em, honey," Harvey said.
"What do you mean we "got'em"? Donna asked looking at her husband kind of liking how he sounded.
"The contract is not valid if we can prove it was signed under duress. That goes in any state. I'm sure even in the great state of Californee-ye-a," Harvey said in his best Arnold Schwarzeneggar impersonation.
Donna laughed. "I have a copy in my bag. Would like to see it now, Arnold?"
"Ya! I wood," Harvey said continuing his banter.
