Skyfall

Chapter Twenty-Four

"You look so sexy right now." Harvey told her, coming over to sit next to her.

She stopped typing on her laptop and looked over at him with a smile on her face. He had been working on something over in the chair across from her. "Harvey…"

"What?" He asked innocently before starting to kiss her neck.

"I know what you are doing but I really need to get this brief done for a case."

"I can make this brief." He promised.

She chuckled. "You always say that, but unless we are in a place where we could get caught by others, your 'brief' always lasts a long time."

"I never hear you complain about the length of time." He smirked, adding in a wink.

"Don't get me wrong…I'm not complaining about it. I'm actually a big fan of how thorough you are. I'm just stating the facts."

"Well here are the facts from where I am sitting. It's early Saturday afternoon. You wouldn't be able to do anything with that brief until Monday anyway so you have plenty of time to finish it."

"I know." She closed her eyes.

He stopped kissing her neck and looked over at her with a huge grin on his face. "Besides, would it be so terrible if I wasn't brief?"

She thought about it for a moment. "I guess not. But look, I'm almost done with this. Can you just give me a couple of minutes?"

"Sure." He winked.

"Thank you." She placed a quick kiss on his cheek.

She started typing again, only to find that Harvey was still right next to her. She looked over and saw he was just staring at her. She chuckled. "Are you just going to stare at me until I'm done?"

"Possibly." He winked again.

She couldn't help but smile. "Ok. I guess this can wait."

"I guarantee you won't regret it."

"Well I never have before." She chuckled.

"Damn right you haven't." He smirked before he picked up the laptop from her lap and placed it on the coffee table. Then he stood up and held out his hand for her to grab before leading her into the bedroom.

"What brought on this sudden desire to drag me in here?" She smirked as he pulled her tank top over her head.

"Do I need a reason to be turned on by my incredibly attractive wife?" He asked.

"I guess not when you put it that way." She chuckled as she pulled his shirt off of him.

After they were finished, Rebecca cuddled up to him, laying her head on his chest.

"Was that brief enough for you?" He joked.

"That was actually the perfect length." She giggled.

"What do you say we go out to dinner tonight? Maybe we could catch a movie too?" He suggested. "After everything that happened with the Yankees case, as well as our other clients, I feel like we haven't gotten a lot of alone time together that hasn't been all about work. We should change that tonight. Besides, it's been a couple of weeks since we last went out."

She moved to prop herself up and look at him. "That would be amazing. I'd love to."

She had noticed a change in his behavior since Katie's death. He was taking more time to show her that he cared about her. There were little things he was doing and then there were the bigger gestures. The trip to the Finger Lakes, the birthday gift that he himself picked out instead of having Donna do it, the celebration of her first day being a name partner and now this. She suspected it had to be because he was feeling like life was short and he needed to make the most of it.

Either way, she loved it.

"I'll let you pick where we go." He told her.

"Is that because you want to be able to pick the movie?" She grinned, leaning in for a kiss. They had a rule where if they went out for dinner and a movie, one person got to pick the restaurant and then the other got to pick the movie. He usually tried to get her to pick the restaurant so that there was no chance he would get stuck watching a chick flick.

"It may have something to do with it." He chuckled.

"Alright, although I know that means it will be an action movie." She nodded. She was about to say something else when her phone rang. Reaching over to pick it up from the nightstand, she saw it was Lily. "Oh. It's your mom."

He groaned. "Don't take the call right now."

"I really should though." She told him. "We usually only call each other at the beginning of the day or the end of the day…never the middle. I'm sorry. I'll make it quick though."

"Ok." He nodded.

She answered the phone. "Lily. Hey. What's up?" She couldn't help wonder if something was wrong.

"I need you and Harvey to come up to Boston right now." Lily said.

There was something in the tone of Lily's voice that made her blood run cold. Something was wrong and she dreaded finding out what. "Why? What's wrong?"

"It's Marcus…" Lily trailed off. "He picked Olivia up from a sleepover at one of her friends' houses. On the way home he got into a car accident. Both of them are in the hospital right now."

"Oh my God." She got up from the bed and motioned for Harvey to get dressed. "Are they ok?"

"They are still running a bunch of tests on them. I don't think their injuries are life-threatening, but…"

"But what?" She asked.

"Marcus was drunk."

"Shit." She sighed, turning away from Harvey so he couldn't see her face. "You've got to be kidding me."

"I really wish I was." Lily sighed. "He needs a good lawyer, and I don't know of any lawyers better than you and Harvey."

"Ok. Um, we'll be up there as soon as we can. We'll leave now. Keep me up to date on what's happening please."

"I will." Lily assured her.

"What's going on?" Harvey asked after she got on the phone. "What did my mother want?"

"We have to get up to Boston right now." She hurried and started to get dressed.

"Ok." He started to get dressed too. "But you're not telling me anything and I need to know what is happening. Why do we need to go up there and why do you look so panicked?"

By now she was already dressed and was pulling out their suitcases. "We need to make sure Donna and Jessica know what we are doing and we need to be booked on the next flight out to Boston. I'll pack and you work on that."

"Ok, now I know something is majorly wrong when you start barking orders like that." He said, going over and lightly grabbing her by the shoulders. "What are you not telling me?"

She sighed. "Marcus got into a car accident with Olivia in the backseat. They are both in the hospital getting checked out."

"Shit." He nodded. "Are they going to be alright?"

"Your mom said she didn't think the injuries were life-threatening." She explained, getting out of his grasp and starting to pack for them.

"Good." He nodded again. "So we'll go up there, spend the night just to make sure they are alright and then come back tomorrow?"

"We may be up there a little longer than that." She warned, grabbing one of Harvey's suits.

"Why are you packing my suit?" He asked.

"No reason." She shrugged, starting to pick her own clothes. "Just wanting to be prepared."

"Rebecca, you obviously know something else that you aren't telling me." He pointed out. "Tell me now."

She stopped for a moment and turned to look at him. "You aren't going to like it and it will make you furious."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I know and I don't like it and it makes me furious." She explained.

"Well not knowing is starting to make me furious. So either way I'm going to be furious and I'm tired of saying that word. I might as well know what is going on." He pointed out.

"Ok." She conceded. "It seems Marcus may not have been entirely sober while driving."

"Goddammit!" Harvey yelled. "Are you shitting me? He was drunk and drove with his daughter in the car?"

"That's what it seems like." She nodded. "We need to go see if we can get him out of this."

"Oh I'll go up there. I'll check on Olivia and I'll make sure that Marcus is still breathing. But I'm not doing shit for him with this." Harvey yelled. "You know it's not going to be just a simple DUI. It's going to get bumped up to a felony and he'll be slapped with child endangerment charges too. He could go to jail and lose the kids."

"I know that." She nodded, starting to pack their toiletries.

"What the hell was he thinking?"

"I don't know!" She shook her head. "Can you please just find out if there is a flight leaving soon? And I don't know if Louis or Mike would be able to, but we need someone to pick up the slack with our clients for a couple of days."

"Fine." He stormed out of the room.
