Now, I think you will be happy with this chapter if you have stuck with me so far. We're getting to the nitty gritty. Now I do not pretend to know anything about Yoga and I based my writing on my knowledge of Aerobic Exercise which is what I tried to do when I was pregnant many years ago which had been my favorite form of exercise. So I apologize if I have stated something incorrectly. Thank you and R&R - Carebearmaxi.

Mr. and Mrs. Specter: New Ventures

Chapter 8

Months have gone by and Donna's business has grown in tandem with her burgeoning baby bump. It was now mid-April. Her business was thriving so much that after doing the books she thought she should pick up an extra administrative person and a certified instructor. Classes were packed and the two that Donna had instructed were especially crowded. It seems there were many happy little blessings to be born soon.

Donna, herself, was still having trouble at times with terrific nausea. On those days, she hurriedly got the children ready for their respective learning places and kissed Harvey goodbye as he left for the firm and then she darted from the condo to her own sanctuary of an office. Before sitting down, she would give Amelia a wave and run to her private bathroom and retch for about an hour as she waited for the ginger ale to take effect.

Harvey, in the meantime, was being very careful of his own health. His new secretary, Gloria, was a young Spanish girl whom Gretchen had recommended. After interviewing her, Harvey decided she would be a good fit for him. Very smart, loyal, and understanding, Gloria maintained the filing system that Donna had started many, many years ago when they were both in the D.A.'s office. Gloria, like Donna, was very protective of Harvey and no one talked their way past her into his office without an appointment or approval from Harvey first. Not even Louis who had really tried.

In the last few months with his children growing and his wife happy in her condition and her own business, Harvey became rather complacent. He was also growing into his position as Managing Partner of the firm. He had had no additional heart attacks. He had returned to his more vigorous workouts with boxing and jogging and his heart had suffered no additional damage. Good thing because Mike's secret was becoming harder and harder to conceal. It was a sword of Damocles dangling over all their heads Harvey knew.

One thing was for sure. He was very happy in his family and another baby on the way had made him that much happier. Just last month, they had had a family celebration for Amanda's sixth birthday. Not only were her friends invited but also Marcus and his family as well as Donna's sisters and cousin and children. One big happy family.

"Gloria, who do you have?" Harvey asked having hit the intercom button to "on". Gloria, unlike Donna, did not listen to his private conversations. However, the glass doors were not soundproof, so she still could tell when Harvey was having a bad day. Luckily for her, Harvey had not had much of those now.

"I have Mr. Swifter on the phone from Swifter and Suckel. He is calling about Mike Ross."

Harvey scowled before he continued speaking.

"Yes, Kenneth, how are you?"

"I would be happier if I could speak with Mike Ross. He came over the other day to drop off the contracts and again these contracts are redlined and his name is nowhere to be found. Instead I see your name emblazoned on these documents. I am not signing them until I know why the bait and switch."

"What is it, Ken? You don't trust me? Mike was removed from the case because he was put on one far more suited for his skills."

"So you are saying that there is nothing fishy about the change in lawyer's handling my merger with Star Systems in Washington, DC." Kenneth Swifter was sure to mention the merger in the event Harvey had no idea to what he was placing his name.

"Everything in those contracts were as Mike had stated to you except in legalese. I just put my name to it because going forward I will be handling your account."

"Well I am having general counsel read these before I sign," the grumpy businessman on the other end stated.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Harvey said placing a smile on his face and in his voice.

"I'll call you when they are ready."

"Sure. Good talking to you Ken. When this merger is complete we'll go have a drink or two," Harvey said using his best closer speech.

Kenneth Swifter hung up as Harvey stared at the phone.

He pressed the intercom button to "on".

"Gloria, get me Mike Ross."

When Mike walked into Harvey's office, he closed the door behind him and sat down immediately and returned the scowl that Harvey wore on his face.

"Mike, we have to talk. We cannot keep dodging bullets anytime a merger institutes a background check. This is the third case where I have had to change paperwork for my name in lieu of yours."

"I was thinking about that and I was thinking, perhaps, I could retake the bar exam. I never took it in my own name and it has been many, many years. I know that some of the instructors have to have left by now."

"Well, the New York Bar understands you have already passed the bar in your own name. Harvey sees that you graduated from there. Thanks to Lola for both. So, how would you explain that? A computer glitch? I repeat the issue will arise that you are already a graduate and now you are starting all over again?"

"I don't know Harvey but both you and I know that we can't go on like this."

"Let me think about things and then I will let you know. In the meantime if you land another case like the Science Metric merger get me involved."

"Of course, Chief," Mike said and left Harvey's office not feeling as confident as he allowed Harvey to see.

Harvey rubbed his chest a little feeling a mild tightness. He did not want to think anything of it, so he took an aspirin just in case the tightness got worse. He then picked up the phone to call his wife.

"Hello, Mrs. Harvey Specter here, to what do I owe this call?" Donna had asked on the other end when she recognized Harvey's name on the phone.

"Well, Mrs. Harvey Specter, this is Harvey Specter calling his very sexy pregnant wife to a dinner date. What do you say?"

Donna smiled.

"Mrs. Specter accepts the invitation from her very virile, handsome hubby. However, did you not forget our two children? I'm hoping you have a sitter lined up or is this a family dinner?"

"No, I called your Mom. She's in town, you know, to try your senior citizen classes. I thought you would have seen her by now.

"No, I didn't. She didn't even call me."

Just as Donna said the words her mother came into the club.

"Nevermind, Harvey, she's here."

"I love Roberta. She's always right on time," Harvey said fondly over the phone. "See you later, babe."

"See ya, later, love." Donna said and then hung up her phone.

Roberta smiled and then came around the desk to hug her daughter. "I gather that was your husband unless there's something you need to tell me?"

"No, it was Harvey," Donna said releasing her mother from the hug. "You didn't come all the way from Connecticut because Harvey called you."

Roberta shook her head. "No, remember I was at Julia's?"

Donna nodded. "I think I've thrown up half my brains with this baby I'm carrying."

Roberta looked at her daughter as she went back behind her desk.

"Well, not to put too fine a point on it, your husband is worried about you."

Donna looked up and gave a little sniff. "Really, sometimes I think he's oblivious to how things are. What did he say?"

"That you are still throwing up and he heard you mention to Rachel that you're underweight for being six months pregnant," Roberta said coming behind Donna's desk to give her shoulders a massage.

"You are as tight as a drum, honey," Roberta said kneading her daughter's shoulders. "You stop what you are doing. Get your assistant to finish. Go out with your husband and relax."

"Yes, Donna," Amelia chimed in with perfect timing as she stood in the doorway to Donna's office. "Lara has already volunteered to take your classes for as long as possible. She needs the money and she didn't give birth that long ago not to know what an expectant momma needs in yoga."

Donna looked at her mother and her assistant and said, "Ok, I guess you win."

Roberta winked at Donna's assistant and then proceeded to help Donna into her light jacket and whisked her off home.

Later that night, Donna was debating what dress to wear to dinner because she wanted to look especially pretty for her husband. He always dressed impeccably, especially, when they went out on date night. She rifled through the clothes in her closet turning dresses aside for either color or size since the baby bump prevented her from wearing most of her clothes. She swore she was not trying to hide it but to wear something so clingy that that was the only thing you noticed about her was distasteful to her. Donna's personal style had always been subtle and classy not flashy.

"You're not dressed yet?" Harvey entered the large bedroom heading straight for the floor length mirror standing in the corner to check his tie and suit. His eyes focused more on the woman behind him standing in the closet.

"Harvey, where are we going?" Donna asked hoping that would help her make up her mind.

"Del Posto. That's one of our special places," Harvey said still eyeing Donna in the mirror.

"Oh. Thanks," Donna smiled at Harvey in the mirror.

"You can wear anything, you know, you are beautiful," Harvey said stopping his ministrations to himself and really noticing Donna's thoughtful expression as she rifled again through her many dresses.

"I know," Donna tried to say confidently in her old way.

Harvey decided that he would take matter in his own hands and came over to the closet and saw his favorite maternity dress. The dress was by a famous designer which he never could remember except that it was one of Donna's favorites. The material was silky and shimmered silver when in the light. It was a tad clingy but the dress did nothing but flatter Donna's new baby bump figure. The silver dress with ruched short sleeves had a V-neckline which showcased Donna's bustline and drew one's eyes right there. He had surprised Donna with it when he took her shopping after he discovered about the new arrival.

"What about this one? I think you are a very sexy pregnant woman and you look like it in this dress," Harvey said softly and deeply giving her a lingering kiss on the lips to emphasize where his thoughts were. Donna was standing there in her panties and bra which did little to hide her voluptuous breasts and small rounded tummy. Harvey helped himself and pulled down one bra strap and fondled one breast and then suckled at it.

"Harvey, are you sure you don't want to eat me for dinner?" Donna whispered deeply in his ear. Her legs were jelly at the touch of his mouth on her highly sensitized breast.

"That's a loaded statement, Mrs. Specter," Harvey joked rising long enough to look deeply into his wife's eyes.

"Who's watching the kids?" Donna asked. She had only intended to leave them without supervision for a short time while she dressed.

"Your mom arrived back as I came in," Harvey murmured as he nuzzled her neck and took little nibbles on her shoulder.

"Lock the door," Donna whispered as she stepped from the closet.

"Alread did," Harvey pulled at his tie and undid his shirt. He helped Donna alleviate herself from her panties and bra and then lifted her totally naked onto their bed. Harvey remained in loose clothes and could not wait until he could devour his wife. He enjoyed loving her in any condition, but this one when she her body was growing lusciously with their child inside her was always special to him. He was always careful, though, especially in her conditions that she was comfortable with their passionate outpouring as he.

Harvey lay carefully between Donna's thighs. He licked and kissed his way down her body lingering at her enlarged breasts and kissing the belly bump. He gingerly laid his head on her belly and could feel the mini-me squirm. Donna's body tingled where Harvey's mouth had touched and suckled. She grasped her own breasts and squirmed as Harvey's mouth finally found her highly oversensitive clit. She raised her hips for easier access to him. He held her legs apart while he darted his tongue in and out of her loving the feeling of her legs so unnerved around him that they shook.

"Oh...Harvey...I want you to..."

"What, baby, you want me inside you..." Harvey had wanted to make sure Donna was fine physically before he entered her. They had had a couple of attempts before only for Donna to have to cut it short due to bad nausea.

"I can go on top...please..." Donna begged as he had not stopped. His tongue had covered every part of her. She was climaxing fast. Harvey stopped and kissed his way back to her belly, noticed how she writhed and moved, physically touching herself. Watching her turned him on even more, so he rose and swiftly removed his other clothing. Donna had climaxed enough to be able to manueuver herself over from the center of the bed to allow Harvey access. Once he laid down, Donna straddled his thighs and impaled herself upon his erection. She was so wet she slid easily up and down, She hung her breasts in Harvey's face and like bobbing for apples he went from breast to breast massaging, nipping, and suckling. Donna then sat up right and felt how wonderful Harvey felt inside her. She moved her hips this way and that increasing that wonderful friction and feeling it build inside of her again. Harvey's hands had taken her hips and he carefully maneuvered her increasing his hardness and pleasure of feeling her insides grip him and pulsate around him. She came to lie down on top of him with him still inside her. All her muscles quivering with the efforts expended. Her rounded tummy encasing their baby sat between them. Donna looked at her husband's wide smile. She could not help but feel loved when he held her like this and when he returned her smile with his own contented one.

Harvey had climaxed a few minutes before his wife and relished holding her like this and feeling the bump of the baby Donna carried as a small but delightful barrier to full embracing. Harvey just continued to hold her until her quivering and his shivering had finally allowed them to come back down to earth. He wanted the afterglow to linger as long as possible.

After their breaths had come to a place where they could speak, Donna finally looked up at Harvey's face and said, "I'll wear the silver dress."

Harvey kissed her and laughingly said, "Good choice."

"Mr. and Mrs. Specter, yes, your table is ready," the Maitre'd said as he escorted Donna and Harvey into the darkened restaurant. They had been regulars for so long that all the staff knew them and knew what table they preferred.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Specter, I see another little blessing in the offing," the head waiter said.

"Thank you, Giovanni. There is and we are very happy," Donna said eyeing Harvey and saw a wide smile on his face and love in his big chocolate eyes.

Donna took Harvey's hand across the table and smiled at him.

"What a lovely invitation. Is everything ok?" Donna asked. They were silent in the car on the way over still basking in the afterglow and enjoying the silence after the boisterous goodbye Mandy and Gordon gave them.

"You were very quiet in the car. I thought something might be wrong on your side," Harvey asked thoughtfully. He was worried about her although earlier in the evening some of those fears were set aside. She had not become nauseous while they made love this time.

"No. I'm just really pleased that I didn't have to leave you hanging and run to the bathroom this time," Donna said with slight smile remembering how he always made her feel beautiful and loved when they were finished.

"Yes, I am glad about that, too," Harvey said and then the smile left his face. He rubbed Donna's fingers with his thumb. He suddenly felt her grip his hand tightly. He looked up into the concerned eyes of his wife.

"Mike's fraud is becoming harder to hide. I can tell. I miss being there in a way to protect you and he from any unfortunate mishaps."

"Well, Louis is helping with that as well. He doesn't want the ship to go down anymore than I do it seems. He really is fond of Mike."

Harvey smiled and then said while he resumed rubbing her knuckles with his thumb.

"By the way, I need you to stop starving my offspring. Your mother told me that you were told by the doctor that you are underweight for six months. How's that?"

"It's nothing, Harvey. The baby is fine. She's kicking all the time. You know that."

"You'd better eat up. I don't want you to be unhealthy. Perhaps you need to slow down with your Yoga teaching."

Donna looked at Harvey and said, "I am fine. No need to do that."

"How are we going to get Mike out of this?" Donna asked as she tried to change the subject back to what his troubles were. Donna knew the baby would be fine. As for her, she would maintain until she could no longer. After all, she was Donna. She was awesome.
