And despite himself, he did get used to it. For three months they lived in bliss, going to shows, laughing watching old movies sitting on his couch, reading to each other by lamplight, going out to expensive dinners, sleeping in late together. It was only after three months, when Natsuki unexpectedly came to visit him in his office, that their idyllic world took a blow.

She went walking in, cautious, fearful, glancing around as if she was harboring illegal contraband. She reached Donna's desk.

"Hi, I'm here to see Harvey," she said.

"Do you have an appointment?" Donna asked.

"N-No, but I really need to see him. It's an emergency."

"I'm just kidding, Natsuki, I know who you are. Are you okay?" Donna asked, frowning.

"I just really need to see Harvey," she said.

"Alright, well, he's in a meeting with a client right now, but you can wait in his office," Donna said. Natsuki thanked her, slipped into the office, and sat, waiting. She waited for two hours before Harvey finally deigned to meet her. She wasn't surprised but she was disappointed. By the time he got there she was about to leave and was in tears.

"What on earth is so important you came to my office?" Harvey asked.

"I'm sorry," she said. "I didn't mean to burst in on you."

"What's the matter?" he said, realizing how upset she looked.

"I have some news," she said. "I went to the doctor today…"

"Oh, no," Harvey said. "Oh, no, oh, no, oh no…"

"…because I was late, and I didn't want to come to you until I was sure…" he sat down numbly at his desk. "I'm sorry," she said. "I just wanted to let you know."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Harvey. I'm pregnant."

He let out a long breath and, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Donna's head jerk up.

"What are we going to do?" he asked.

"I'm leaving for Japan," she said. "I'm booking the plane for tomorrow. I'll never bother you again."

"I thought you said you couldn't go back to Japan."

"I'll take my chances. I don't want to be a burden to you."

"A burden? I don't… I didn't… how far along are you?"

"I'm not getting an abortion, Harvey."

"That's not what I'm asking."

"Two months."

"But we were always so careful."

"Apparently not."

"Do you know what it is?"

"I don't want you to get attached-"

"Natsuki. Just tell me."

"No, I don't know what it is. But I think… I think it's a boy." Harvey let out a long breath.

"I can't believe this."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault, it's my fault."

"Doesn't matter. I'm leaving tomorrow."

"I don't… I don't want you to leave." He said.

"You don't want a child holding you back. Look, it's been fun, you enjoy my company, we have some laughs, but you're not about to marry me, Harvey."

"Who said anything about marrying you? I can support you without marrying you." She hesitated, then shook her head.

"No. I'm leaving tomorrow." She said. "I will not let this child stop you. The only reason I even told you of its existence was because I thought you deserved to know."

"Deserved to… Natsuki, I deserve to be part of its life."

"Do you even want to be part of its life? Harvey, you can't even show me a bit of vulnerability, how would you act around a child?"

"I would support you."

"I thought we were equals."

"Not anymore." She smiled, her geisha smile.

"You really want this?" she asked. "To be part of this child's life, to know it and to love it?"

"Well… for now, I just know I don't want you to leave for Japan. That's all I know. It's not safe for you there." She crossed the room and kissed him. Neither of them were expecting it.

"Alright," she said with a smile. "Are you sure? Just say the word Harvey and I'll be gone, you'll never have to worry about me anymore."

"No, I'm sure," he said. "I want to be part of its life. I want you to stay in my life. If that means I have to support you, I will. I'm just… I'm not the marrying type."

"You're still my danna," she said, touching his face. "I'll always see you that way. I'll always be your girl, Harvey." He smiled.

"You'll always be my girl," he said, and it was as good as him saying 'I love you'.
