It’s almost Halloween time. Jordan comes home from practice and brings a teammate home with him.

James - So where can I put my stuff.
Jordan - The bedrooms are upstairs but be quiet my wife is napping.
James - Ok, I’ll be quiet. You’ll have to introduce me to her when she wakes up.
Jordan - Of course I will.
James - I hope she won’t be too mad that I’m going to be staying here for awhile.
Jordan - Don’t worry she won’t be. She rarely gets mad.
James - Ok good I’d hate to make her mad.
Jordan - She’ll like you don’t worry.

James goes upstairs and puts his stuff in the guest room. Morgana wakes up from her nap and sees James in the guest room. James comes out of his bedroom, sees Morgana, and smiles. He stands in the doorway of Morgana & Jordan’s bedroom.

James - You must be Jordan’s beautiful wife I’ve heard so much about.
Morgan - Yes I’m Morgana but you may call me Morgan.
James - Nice to meet you.
Morgan - Likewise James
James - I hope I didn’t wake you.
Morgan - No, I was getting up anyway.
James - Ok good. I’ll uh talk to you later.
Morgan - Ok

James goes back down stairs. Morgan smiles as she watches James leave and sighs. She thinks to herself ‘Wow, he is so cute and so sweet. Oh dear god do I have a crush on James?’ Morgan calls her friend Leslie.

Leslie - Hey, you ok hon?
Morgan - I’m fine other then Jordan brought home one of his teammates to stay with us.
Leslie - What’s wrong with that?
Morgan - Nothing but James is really cute and he is so sweet.
Leslie - Sounds like you’ve developed a crush on him.
Morgan - I know I have and I know shouldn’t being married to Jordan and all.
Leslie - I know you feel that way since I know you still love Jordan very much. What are you going to do?
Morgan - I don’t know cuz I think James likes me too. I guess I’ll just wait and see what happens.
Leslie - That’s all you can do.
Morgan - I’ll call you later.
Leslie - Ok

Leslie & Morgan hang up. Morgan goes down stairs and finds the boys talking in the living room. She goes and sits next to Jordan.

Jordan - You feeling better sweetie?
Morgan - A little bit. I have a bit of headache.
Jordan - Do you need anything baby?
Morgan - Can you go get me some Tylenol?
Jordan - Sure baby I can do that.

Morgan puckers her lips expecting a kiss from Jordan but is ignored. Jordan leaves for the store to get Morgan some meds for her cold. James and Morgan talk some more.

James - You ok?
Morgan - I think my marriage is slowly going down hill.
James - What makes you say that?
Morgan - Jordan and I have been together for 6 years and I think we’re losing that spark we had when we were first together.
James - (Comes over and sits on couch beside Morgan and holds her hand) You deserve better if Jordan doesn’t love you anymore.
Morgan - (Smiles) Do you mean yourself?
James - Sure I like you a lot but I would never steal you from Jordan. I know you still love him and you two need to fix things.
Morgan - I know we need to.
James - You look awful. Why don’t you go back to bed.
Morgan - I think I will.
James - If you ever need to talk you know where to find me.
Morgan - I’ll take you up on your offer. You’re really sweet you know that.
James - (Blushes) Well I really like you and want to be your friend.
Morgan - Aww, well you don’t have to try so hard to get me to like you.
James - Really?
Morgan - Sure, I’m going to go back to bed. So when Jordan comes home you can tell him that’s where I am.
James - Ok, I hope you start feeling better soon.
Morgan - Aww, that’s sweet that you care about me so much.
James - That’s cuz I…
Morgan - You what?
James - Never mind

Morgan gets up from off the couch and goes back upstairs to bed. She lays down on her bed and begins to wonder if James was going to tell her that he loves her. She falls asleep a few minutes later. James comes upstairs and notices Morgan shivering so he quietly goes into her and Jordan’s bedroom and covers her with a blanket. As he leaves he shuts the door and then goes into his room, shuts the door, and decides to take a nap too. Jordan comes home and goes upstairs to check on Morgan. He opens the bedroom door and finds her sound asleep. He lays down beside her, wraps his arms around her, and goes to sleep till later that night.

Jordan - I love you baby.
Morgan - You do?
Jordan - Of course I do. I’ve been thinking and we should be spending more time together. I don’t want to lose you.
Morgan - Jordan, honey, you’re not going to lose me. I love you so much.
Jordan - I love you too. How are you feeling?
Morgan - I have a headache.
Jordan - Maybe you’re hungry baby.
Morgan - You could go get something.
Jordan - Sure baby I can do that. Need anything else?
Morgan - Something sweet
Jordan - Anything special you want?
Morgan - Surprise me
Jordan - Ok I’ll be right back. Just stay here and rest.
Morgan - Can you get me some Powerade too?
Jordan - Sure baby

Jordan gets up and heads to the store and then to get dinner. Morgan lays on the bed when she sees James come out of his room. He stops in doorway.

James - Feeling better?
Morgan - A little bit. Just have a headache cuz I’m hungry.
James - Can I fix you something?
Morgan - Jordan went to get dinner for all of us.
James - Ok, if you need anything I’ll get it for you.
Morgan - Aww, ok. What were you going to tell me earlier?
James - It’s not important.

James leaves and then goes downstairs. Morgan thinks to herself ‘Why does James care about me so much when he knows he can’t have me? Has he fallen in love with me after just meeting me?’ She goes back to sleep until she starts having a steamy dream about James. She freaks out and calls Leslie.

Leslie - You ok hon?
Morgan - I was taking a nap and had very steamy dream and it wasn’t about Jordan.
Leslie - You were having a dream about James weren’t you?
Morgan - Yes, and I have no idea why.
Leslie - Hon, it’s obvious you have a major crush on James.
Morgan - I know I do and I can’t make it stop.
Leslie - Aww, maybe one day you two can be together.
Morgan - I think earlier today he was going to tell me he loves me even though we just met.
Leslie - I hate to say it but maybe you two should act on your feelings for each other.
Morgan - I’m just going to wait and see what happens.
Leslie - You’ll figure out this mess.
Morgan - I hope so.
Leslie - If you do end up with James you two would make a cute couple.
Morgan - Jordan’s home so I’m going to go try and eat something.
Leslie - Ok, hang in there hon.

The girls hang up. Morgan goes down stairs to join the guys for dinner. They finish eating. Morgan goes back upstairs to get ready for bed. Jordan follows her. He closes the door and comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her.

Morgan - What’s this all about?
Jordan - I love you so much baby.
Morgan - I love you too.
Jordan - I’m sorry we haven’t been spending time alone like we should be.
Morgan - How about we fix that.
Jordan - I like the sound of that.

Morgan and Jordan lay down on their bed and begin to kiss. They continue kissing until they are making love to one another. This lasts for the rest of the night. Morgan lays her head on Jordan’s shoulder but doesn’t go to sleep. Jordan wraps his arm around her.

Morgan - Jordan?
Jordan - Yeah baby?
Morgan - I love you.
Jordan - I love you too.
Morgan - Are things going to be ok for us?
Jordan - I don’t plan on leaving you baby. I would regret it if I did.
Morgan - I would never leave you either.
Jordan - So you’re ok with James staying with us for awhile?
Morgan - Yeah I have no issue with that.
Jordan - You two seem to have gotten close already.
Morgan - He’s a wonderful guy and becoming a good friend.
Jordan - If something ever happens to me I want you two to date.
Morgan - Really?
Jordan - Sure baby, I can tell he has a bit of a thing for you.
Morgan - I guess I never noticed before.
Jordan - Babe, you can’t hear him crying in his room right now?
Morgan - Do you really think he’s crying over me?
Jordan - Sure do baby.
Morgan - Do I need to go check on him?
Jordan - Just go make sure he’s ok.

Morgan puts her PJ’s on and then goes to check on James. She knocks on his bedroom door.

Morgan - James? You ok?
James - Yeah, I’m fine.
Morgan - You’re upset about something. What’s wrong?
James - (Sighs) I’m holding onto a dream that won't come true.
Morgan - You mean us don’t you?
James - (Sighs) Yes, I mean us.
Morgan - We’ll talk about this tomorrow. Try and get some sleep ok?
James - Ok
Morgan - It’ll be ok.

Morgan goes back to join Jordan. She lays her head on Jordan’s shoulder and goes right to sleep. It’s now the first part of March.
