A series of one-shots about husbands Mike and Harvey Specter, and their son - Wes. *All future updates will be on my Tumblr. I am no longer posting on this site.*

Chapter 11: Keep my memories all in one place

-z-

Harvey buys a new refrigerator every time a new model comes out. And though the appliance itself is always changing, there are certain things that Harvey never lets go of.

He still has all of the same magnets: a little green alien from Mike's apartment, the macaroni picture frame Wes made in kindergarten, the letters of the alphabet in various sizes and colors, a few from Harvard, and even a Pearson Hardman one with dubious origins.

Harvey makes sure the first family portrait of he, Mike, and toddler Wes is placed right in the middle of the freezer door.

The pictures of Wes from his first day of pre-school (wailing as he held onto Mike's leg while the teacher tried to drag him away) were taken down and replaced with pictures of when he went into first grade (Wes smiling nervously at Harvey who was straightening his clothes and checking his backpack one more time), then into sixth grade (Wes glaring and looking embarrassed as Ray opened the door), then high school (Wes hiding his face as Mike gave him a thumbs up).

There are pictures of Wes playing baseball and football and hockey, of junior prom when he went with the captain of the cheerleading squad, of senior prom when he went with the captain of the football team.

Pictures of Wes' graduation from both high school and Harvard also have special places on the fridge side-by-side, just underneath the family portrait. And when Wes became a detective and graduated at the top of his class from the academy, that picture went up right next to the Harvard one.

There are also pictures of the Ross-Specter wedding, of the kiss at the altar, of the cutting of the cake, of the first dance, of little stolen moments where it had been obvious that neither Mike nor Harvey were aware that there was a world outside of each other.

So, even though Harvey buys a new refrigerator every time a new model comes out, there are certain things that Harvey just never lets go of.
