Donna Meets Lily -

Chapter 39 -

Wedding and Bedding Bliss

It was finally here! Donna's wedding day! Although she and Harvey were officially married months ago, Donna was excited. She looked in the mirror as her mother was fixing her hair.

"Maybe I should have done this after the baby came," Donna said depressed at how she looked in her wedding gown. Her mom stood behind her attempting to finish the updo with bobbypins while Donna stood in front of the full length mirror.

"You look beautiful. You look even more beautiful because you have that mother's glow. Your hair so full and thick. It's been almost difficult to curl. There...perfect." Roberta Paulsen stepped back and examined Donna in her wedding dress which did not hide the fact she was eight months pregnant. The ball gown had a plunging neckline, long sleeves, an Empire waist with tulle skimming to the floor. It was winter so around the neckline was faux fur which matched the cuff of the sleeves and the edges of the train. Donna's veil was simply a comb with long flowing netting with embedded pearls attached to the updo underneath the big bun of red hair. She had some drop curls framing her rounded face and chandelier earrings of white overlay gold filigree.

Rachel, the matron of honor, entered the prep room area of the church. Rachel had insisted that Harvey stay the night at their apartment. Rachel knew they were already married but she always thought traditions should remain traditions. Rachel remembered her first aborted wedding to Mike wherein he saw her before the ceremony. It really did not matter this time, but Rachel knew that her friends' first wedding was romantic but this one would be remembered with pictures and good times by friends and family.

Following behind her was James Paulsen, Donna's father, looking at his watch and pretending that his eyes were not filling with tears at seeing his favorite daughter dressed and prepped for her groom.

"Ahem, it's almost time ladies. The men are out there waiting," Jim said as he approached Donna offering his arm.

Roberta left stating she had better get out there. On the way she ran into Lily who had just arrived at the church. Their flight had been cancelled the previous night due to snow, so this one was the fastest and earliest flight they could get. Lily would have come with Marcus and his family, but Lily always hated long car rides and felt better if she and her husband came by plane. They were lucky because after all it was Christmas Eve and many people were being inconvenienced by this bride and groom.

"Roberta!"

"Lily! You're just in time. Hi Bobby. Does Harvey know you finally arrived? He tried to see Donna to get reassurance but we wouldn't let him."

"Yes, Marcus just went into the vestibule to tell his brother we made it. Whew! Merry Christmas by the way!" Lily said leaning in for a brief hug before they ventured into the sanctuary.

"Yes, you, too."

Donna's sisters, Carol and Julia, waited in the vestibule for their time to move forward. Kate, Marcus' wife, also came out of the other side with Lynnie who was their Flowergirl and M.J. dressed all in a tuxedo carried the pillow with Harvey and Donna's "real" wedding rings tied to it.

Mike came out then and said, "Without further ado, let's do this!" He held out his arm for Roberta to take his arm so he could escort her to the front pew signalling that it was time for he ceremony to begin.

Once Roberta sat next to her ex-husband, Lynnie, echoeing Donna's dress only smaller, entered sprinkling winter white rose petals along the path. Marcus, Jr., with his hair all slicked up like Uncle Harvey's carried the pillow with the rings with a solemn look on his face taking his job very seriously.

Then came Carol dressed in dark red and then Julia dressed in dark green versions of Donna's gown. Rachel entered next smiling at her husband who stood at the altar third man left to the groom because Mike and Rachel would walk together upon exiting the church. Rachel's gown was dark teal green like the head of a Mallard duck. The light reflected and bounced off the material. Interspersed with her Matron of Honor bouquet were holly leaves and berries in reference to the season.

Then the Bridal March played a la sound system and computerized by Benjamin from the firm announcing Donna's arrival on the arm of her father. The whole church was staring at her and for once Donna was not happy about it. They could all tell she was pregnant and heavily so.

"You look radiant, honey," Jim Paulsen said patting his daughter's hand trying to calm her nerves. "Look, Harvey, looks like he's going to cry looking at you."

Donna then brought her attention to the altar and confirmed what her father told her. She smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Ok, you can always back out now.'

"Dad, I have a confession to make. We've been really married for the last several months. This wedding splash is just for me," Donna said then leaning up kissed her father's cheek.

Looking at his daughter, Jim said, "Well, I guess it is too late to turn back now."

"Wouldn't if I could. I've waited too long to share the fact that Harvey Specter loves me and chose me out of all the other women he could have had."

"Ok. Let's do this," Jim Paulsen said. He really felt Harvey had Donna's best interests at heart, but time would tell. Jim would keep a watchful eye on this union because it would break Donna' s heart if Harvey ever hurt her again.

With Donna's hand firmly tucked in the crook of his bent arm, Jim Paulsen escorted his daughter to marry again the man she loved more than life itself.

Later that night after the joyous celebration of Harvey and Donna's marriage had been toasted and cheered, the second time newlyweds sat in bed next to each other. They toasted Sparkling Cider in champagne flutes one more time. Tomorrow they would escape to their Boston house and stay until after the Christmas holidays.

Harvey kissed Donna deeply. They moved down the bed together. Harvey held Donna in his arms and turned her on her side so they lay spooned together.

"I want you, Mrs. Specter," Harvey whispered kissing her neck.

"Mr. Specter, I want you, too, but you do realize making love at this late stage of my pregnancy could bring on labor. Do you want your child born on Christmas Day?"

"I don't care when she's born. I just think that my pregnant wife is incredibly sexy and I want to show my apprecation," Harvey murmured into her mouth turning Donna back on her back and kissing her deeply. He then turned and took Donna with him so she straddled his thighs.

"Oooo, honey, you do want to show your appreciation. How about I try to show you mine?" Donna whispered with a wink of her eye. She could feel his hardness at her back. She rearranged herself and slowly impaled herself on top of him. She then slowly moved back and forth.

Harvey half sat up and said, "Here let me help. He moved his thighs and she could feel him within her move and start to create that rhythm.

Donna moaned quickening the friction at their conjoining. Finally coming a little early because of her condition, she removed herself from Harvey. She lay on her right side and gazed into the deep brown eyes of her husband.

"Did I ever tell you that I hope our baby has your big brown eyes?"

"Did I tell you I hope she has red hair?"

Donna smiled. "Who would have thought all those years ago we would wind up here?"

Harvey shook his head and looked into Donna's big green eyes and rubbed her naked belly.

"If my mother had known you all those years ago, she would have agreed with my father and coerced us into getting married."

"So, Gordon always wanted you to marry me," Donna said smiling and stroking Harvey's face.

"Yes, when he would call me at the office, and you would tell me he was on the phone; the first words out of his mouth would be: 'Harvey, would you marry that woman already? She's gorgeous and she won't let you get away with anything.'"

"What can I say? He was right."

"You had your rule!" Harvey exclaimed vehemently but quietly smiling the entire time. He leaned over and kissed her and the baby in her belly. Donna yawned and turned over clasping Harvey's hand around her bump encouraging him to spoon with her.

Before she fell asleep, Donna whispered, "I love you, Harvey."

Harvey spooned with her and whispered back, "I love you, too, Donna."
