One Call Away
Hi! I am so sorry that this has not been updated sooner - it's been a crazy couple of months as I have gone back to school for my last year of A levels! I hope to update this sooner in the future. Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me!
This is a one-shot based on 9x10 and the conversation I imagine Mike and Rachel had whilst he was back in New York - in my head the reason Rachel didn't travel was because she was pregnant so that's what this is about!

As Mike finally laid down in his old bed, in his old room, in his old apartment, there was only one person on his mind. It was 1am in New York so it would only be 10pm Seattle but he decided that he would text Rachel first, since he didn't want to wake her up. After she found out about Harvey and Donna she would be so frustrated that she wasn't there but unfortunately doctor's orders were that she could no longer fly since she was so far along in her pregnancy. But as upset as she would be, she would never put their unborn child at risk, no matter what that meant she would have to miss.
Her reply was almost instant and Mike wasted no time in calling her, instantly feeling happier seeing her photo come up on his contacts. It was quite an old photo, one from before they got together and the firm was still Pearson Hardman but it had been her photo for so long that he didn't want to change it, at least for old times' sake. She picked up on the first ring and hearing her voice made him smile like a child in a chocolate factory, for a moment he hoped to the Gods above that she would never stop making him feel that way, just by simply answering the phone.
"Hey, I'm so glad to hear your voice" he started
"Me too, I miss you so much but please tell me everything!" Mike was only slightly hurt by her immediate interest in Donna and Harvey but he supposed that he kind of expected it too.
"It was so beautiful Rach, Louis and Sheila threw an amazing wedding - their vows were truly beautiful, a bit weird but that's to be expected when Louis is involved isn't it?!" he joked
"Yeah I suppose so! But what about Harvey and Donna!" she was practically bursting with excitement at this point
"I was in shock for most of it! We were just sitting around the table awaiting news for Louis and then next thing I know he's down on one knee - I told you that man was whipped!"
"Oh my god, that's so romantic!"
"Is it though?"
"Yes! Strange timing but still romantic, god I wish I could have been there" she said wistfully. Mike pictured her sitting in her favourite armchair in front of the fireplace, hand placed affectionately over her bump.
"I know you do, but they said they'll have another ceremony for more friends and family, maybe we'll have our little bean with us then too!"
"I hope so! I'm not sure how much longer I can take being the size of a house!" she said, only half-joking
"I'm sure you look beautiful Rach, you always do"
"Thank you" she said, a smile plastered on her face
"Anyway, it's getting late - I'll let you get some sleep, I just wanted to hear your voice"
"Ok, goodnight I love you so much - see you soon. And don't forget to send me the photos!"
"I won't, I'll do it now - see you soon!"
They hung up and Mike rolled back into bed, immediately going back to the right side which he had adopted when they were together. As he was just about to drift off to sleep, his phone dinged again, signalling a text from Rachel. What he saw almost made him cry, it was a picture of her as beautiful as ever, sitting in the baby's room showing off her prominent baby bump with the caption "We can't wait to see you!? ゚メル" he quickly replied to it and then went back to bed, a wide grin on his face. God, how lucky was he.
