A/N: Here's you epilogue. :)

Part 1

-----
-----
Donna knows Mike’s significance before Harvey does, before he could even pretend not to know.

All it takes is one look at Harvey in the presence of Mike and it answers all questions. There is a slight drop in the tension in his shoulders and he clenches his fists less. He tolerates a lot more of Donna and a lot less of Louis.

He breathes a little easier and looks so much prouder.

----

Donna knows they slept together the morning after it happens. Harvey’s wearing his favorite suit and has a smirk he reserves for the best of occasions.

Mike is more confused than ever though. He’s looking one part lost and six parts bewildered. Donna covers her laughter with a cough as she lets him into Harvey’s office.

They’re her personal soap opera.

-----

Donna’s very surprised at the length of time that passes before Harvey and Mike have sex again.

It’s a month and a half between nights. <em>Interesting.</em>

Mike seems more relaxed after the second time and Harvey seems quieter. <em>Very</em> interesting.

But life goes on and work gets done and no one but Donna is any the wiser.

-----

They sleep together a few more times before Donna notices another change.

They come in together one morning. Not a few minutes within each other but <em>together.</em> It means everything.

That afternoon Donna has Mike’s lunch sent into Harvey’s office and the look she receives from Harvey is well worth it.

Three days later Harvey gives her a bouquet of sunflowers and a smile.

“I knew there was a reason I hired you.”

-----

Donna knows the first time they go on a date. She knows that it began a little awkwardly but ended in Harvey’s bed.

She knows where they went and how long they were there and that Harvey paid—big surprise.

She knows that Harvey is taking this seriously and that once he has his sight set on something—anything—it’s his.

-----
Harvey and Mike don’t change in the office as much as they change outside of the office.

Donna can tell everything through their mannerisms, actions, and expressions. Harvey sleeps more with Mike next to him. Mike is happier and jokes more with Harvey. Harvey goes along with the jokes more often.

They mesh well and it makes some part of Donna want to squeal. The same part of her that has been pushing them together from the first wink she sent Harvey.

Because, <em>really?</em> This couldn’t be left up to them or nothing would have ever progressed.

-----

Donna knows the day Jessica finds out.

She knows how the conversation goes. How nervous Mike is and how amazingly transparent Harvey becomes.

Jessica keeps a straight and stern face while the two men are in her office but Donna knows that Jessica smiles delightedly once they leave.

<em>Everyone</em> has seen this coming.

-----

Eight months later Donna offers Mike congratulations.

He looks at her blankly for several seconds before the synapses in his brain connect. For someone so smart, he can be rather slow.

“But we-…how did-…you just-…”

He’s wearing Harvey’s favorite tie.

-----

Donna knows everything. She knows everyone in the office my name, address and social security number.

She knows all their business and all the business that they know and she’s always on top of things.

She knows everything about Harvey from where he stores his extra toilet paper to the catalogue of smirks he has that almost look the same but have such different meanings.

She knows more about Mike than he knows about himself and it’s laughable.

Donna knows everything, so when she see happiness, she knows it.

Thanks so much! I knew after I wrote the first part, that Donna just had to be in the epilogue.

Just read both parts together, both totally adorable but I think the epilogue is my favourite. I'm a sucker for third person POV.

There is also a reason I'm commenting so late which is that I'm only just getting into Suits. Everyone over on the Franklin & Bash comm kept recommending it but I've only just found the time and boy, am I glad I did XD

Don't worry about it, third person is nice to write from so i don't mind that you liked the epilogue better, I am a little surprised though, because I had much more difficulty in writing it. Maybe it's just me...

Darling, you can comment as late as you like! Late comments are SOOO much better than no comments! :)
