Synchronicity

Chapter Fifty-Four

Harvey opened his eyes the next day and smiled when he realized it wasn't a dream. He woke up and she was still here, curled up next to him. He tightened his grip around her and kissed the top of her head.

"Mmm…what time is it?" She asked in a groggy voice.

"It's about seven thirty." He answered.

"I should get going soon so I can get into work."

"It's the Fourth of July." He reminded her. "Don't go in to work. Stay here in bed with me."

"That is an incredibly tempting offer, but I have a deposition and a hearing tomorrow that I need to prep for so I need to go in." She told him.

"Do you have to go right now?" He asked with a chuckle.

"I guess I can stay a while longer." She looked up at him. "After all, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Someone kept me up most of the night."

"Don't tell me you didn't love every moment of it." He smirked.

"I think you know I did." She smirked back. "I missed this. I missed waking up next to you."

"Me too." He assured her.

"I love you Harvey." She said before moving so she could give him a kiss.

"I love you too." He told her.

Harvey knocked on the door, impatiently waiting for it to open. When it did, he saw Mike.

"Hey, Harvey. Rachel and I were actually on our way out to her parents' for their annual July 4th barbecue. I hope this isn't about a case because I don't want to miss Robert's BBQ ribs." Mike greeted.

"No." He shook his head. "It isn't about a case and I'll make it quick." He pushed his way into Mike's house and stood in the entryway. "You told Rebecca even though I told you not to."

"Yeah, I did." Mike acknowledged. "I thought she had a right to know and I'm not sorry about it."

"You were right to do it." He admitted.

"Really?" Mike laughed. "Can you say that again after I get Rachel to come downstairs so I can have a witness?"

"No." He chuckled and shook his head. "It's a one-time thing."

"So did you two work things out?"

"Yeah. We did."

"Good." Mike smiled. "I'm glad."

"Mike, uh, I need a favor. I need you to take a look at something and tell me your honest opinion about it." He said.

"Ok, but is it something that you should be going to a doctor about?" Mike joked. "Because I'm not qualified to pretend to be a doctor. I'm only qualified to pretend to be a lawyer."

"No, you smartass." Harvey shook his head. He pulled out the ring box and opened it. "What do you think?"

"I think I have to say I'm flattered but it's a no Harvey. I'm already happily married to Rachel and I'm just not that into you. I'm sorry."

"Dammit Mike…" He scoffed, rolling his eyes. "This isn't a joke. What do you think?"

"You really want to do this?" Mike asked.

"Yeah." He nodded. "Do you think I'm crazy? Is it too soon?"

"No." Mike shook his head. "I don't think you are crazy. But to be honest, I wasn't sure I would ever see the day where you would come to me with this kind of question."

"I didn't either." He chuckled. "But it feels right."

"Then that's how you know you aren't crazy. I felt the same way before I proposed to Rachel."

"Thanks Mike." He went to the door and opened it.

"Go get 'em tiger!" Mike laughed as he left.

"Hey. Why did you ask me to meet you up here?" Rebecca asked she walked towards Harvey. They were on the roof of their office building that night. She had gotten a cryptic text from him asking her to join him on the roof.

"It's a good view, right?" He asked, staring at the city.

"Yeah. It's a very nice view. It's even better than from your office." She agreed. "So again, why are we up here?"

"The fireworks should start soon." He mentioned casually.

"Ok. So did you bring me up here just to see some fireworks?" She asked, still unclear why she was up here with him. He didn't have time to answer before the fireworks show started. So she turned away from him and started to watch it.

After a moment she decided to look over at him. So she turned around and saw that he was beside her, on one knee. In his hand was an open ring box, displaying a large princess cut engagement ring.

In that moment it was like she had been kicked in the chest. All of the air was sucked from her lungs and she didn't think she could move. She looked at the ring and then at Harvey's face. He looked serious and she was slightly nervous about what was happening. "Harvey what are you doing?" She whispered.

"The last time I did this it wasn't the right time. And I was a fool and just blurted it out. It wasn't a real proposal. It wasn't romantic. It wasn't special. It wasn't what you deserved. Hell, it wasn't even a question. It was just blurted out in the heat of the moment. I can understand how you didn't have a chance to believe that I actually wanted this. But I do want this. I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted us to go all in." He started, pausing for a moment.

"From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were someone I had to meet. And then I soon realized you were the most amazing woman I'd ever met. I know I haven't been good at our relationship. I spook easily and I lash out when I get scared. I haven't always told you enough how much you mean to me or how much I love you. And it isn't fair to you. Any other woman would have run screaming away from me a long time ago, but you haven't. You surprisingly keep coming back."

"You and I have something special. To say we've been through a lot is an understatement. And what I'm asking is that we spend the rest of our lives together. I want to see what else we can get through together. It's a big decision and I understand that. But I'm hoping that you will take a chance on me because I do love you. I love you more than I could ever be able to put into words. You're everything to me and I want you in my life every day for the rest of my life. I want to come home to you, I want to wake up with you, and I want to spend as much time during the day with you that I can. I want us to be the best husband and wife lawyer team this city has ever seen. So will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

She searched his face while he was delivering his speech. Everything he said was true and she could see in his eyes that he was sincere. He set this up…the fireworks in the background, the ring and the speech. He put a lot of thought into this and it was the most romantic thing ever.

He was staring at her and she knew she needed to speak up. She put her hands on his shoulders and had him stand up. "Harvey…"

"Rebecca…Hear me out." He pleaded. "I know you think I'm not ready for something like this, but you're wrong. I am ready. Can I tell you what this ring means to me?"

She slowly nodded her head.

"To me, this ring not only means you become my wife. It means neither of us can run. Neither of us can freak out and break up with the other one. It means we become a team and we face everything together as a team. If one of us freaks out, and let's be honest it will most likely be me who freaks out, we deal with it together. No more break ups."

"For real?" She smiled. "No more break ups?"

"Never." He promised.

"And you aren't going to freak out about this tomorrow?" She asked.

He chuckled. "I can't make that promise. But I can promise we would deal with it together."

"I love you Harvey. And for what it's worth, I was ready to say yes as soon as I saw you kneeling with the ring." Without second guessing it, she leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lips. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"So that's a yes?" He smiled.

"Yes. It's definitely a yes." She said, staring into his eyes. In that moment she didn't think she had ever seen him look that happy.

He gave her a quick kiss before grabbing her hand and slipping the ring on her finger. Then he grabbed her by the waist and swung her around. "We're getting married."

"Yes, we are." She chuckled, leaning in for another kiss.

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who has read and/or reviewed this story! This was my first Suits fandom experience and you guys rock! I know I put you all through a LOT of drama and angst. Hopefully now that the story is done you get a sense of the overall arc these characters had to go through to get to this point. I am currently working on a sequel because I can't seem to get these characters out of my head. Their journey together is far from over. Look for that story to start getting published sometime in the next two weeks or so. Again, thank you for reading!
