James has gone home for a week or so to work his personal trainer to get ready for the upcoming season and had to leave Morgan at home since she is too far a long into her pregnancy to travel. Morgan is sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery while her and James video chat before she goes to bed.

Morgan - I really miss you James.
James - I know you do cuz I miss you too.
Morgan - When are you going to be home?
James - Hopefully by the weekend.
Morgan - That’ll seem like forever.
James - I know it will but we can talk like this every night till then if you want to.
Morgan - I would like that very much.

Just then they hear JJ cooing cuz he can hear the sound of James’s voice.

James - You think I could say good night to our son?
Morgan - Of course you can sweetie. (Turns the volume up on her tablet so JJ can hear James better)
James - Hey there little man. Daddy loves you so much.
Morgan - You are so amazing cuz he just went to sleep.
James - Anything to make things easier for you till I come home. Why don’t you go to bed too honey?
Morgan - I think I will.
James - I will call you tomorrow, ok?
Morgan - I would like that very much.
James - Night honey
Morgan - Night sweetie
James - I love you.
Morgan - I love you too.

James and Morgan hang up. Morgan sighs cuz she misses James and wants to be with him. She gets up and goes back in her and James’s bedroom. She finds a t-shirt of James’s. She get into bed and falls asleep a little while later clutching James’s t-shirt in her hands until she’s woken up by her cell phone.

Leslie - I hope I didn’t wake you.
Morgan - It’s ok. I was getting up anyway to feed JJ.
Leslie - What’s wrong?
Morgan - I just miss James is all.
Leslie - Aww, did you want me to come help with JJ while he’s gone?
Morgan - That would be great.
Leslie - Ok I’ll be right there.

The girls hang up. Morgan gets dressed and goes into the nursery to feed JJ a bottle. As she’s feeding him she starts rocking him in the rocking chair. She burps him and puts him back in his crib. She smiles and tells her little boy how much she loves him. She also tells him that he’s going to be a big brother very soon. She gives him a kiss and then quietly goes down stairs. She grabs her blanket and curls up on the couch and starts playing a game of Aveyond until there’s a knock at the door.

Morgan - It’s open

Leslie comes inside and sits in the chair.

Leslie - House seems quiet without James here.
Morgan - I know it does. I wish it was the weekend so he can be here with me.
Leslie - Aww, you two are still so in love with each other aren’t you?
Morgan - You bet we are. I never thought I would fall in love with a guy like James.
Leslie - Aww, well he’s so prefect for you.
Morgan - And he is such a wonderful father to our son.
Leslie - Aww, the picture you sent me of the two of them cuddling was so cute. I can tell he loves JJ so much.
Morgan - I was talking to James last night before I went to bed and JJ started cooing and giggling when he heard James’s voice.
Leslie - Aww, JJ loves his daddy there’s no denying that. He’s like a mini version of James.
Morgan - I told JJ this morning after I fed him that he’s going to be a big brother.
Leslie - Aww, have you guys thought of a name for your little girl?
Morgan - We have a few names lined up.
Leslie - Aww, what are they?
Morgan - Either Isabella, Sophia, Madison, Kayleigh, or Kaitlyn.
Leslie - Aww, those are wonderful names.
Morgan - I’m thinking either Isabella Sophia or Madison Kayleigh.
Leslie - Aww, are you going to tell James when he calls you?
Morgan - I plan on it.
Leslie - Is James at his summer boot camp?
Morgan - Yes, he’s training to get ready for next month.
Leslie - And isn’t he going to team Canada’s Olympic summer camp?
Morgan - Yes, that’s towards the end of the month. I guess I should get use to him not being around but it’s tough when I’m due soon.
Leslie - Aww, I understand you wanting James here in case you go into labor early.
Morgan - I’m due late next month but I don’t think I’m going to make it that far. I’m trying to hang on till James’s birthday.
Leslie - Aww, that would make for a special birthday for James if your little girl was born then.
Morgan - If I don’t go into labor then I want to do something special for him.
Leslie - Are you thinking a surprise party?
Morgan - Maybe since everyone will be back in town then.
Leslie - Aww, is that one of his t-shirt you have on?
Morgan - Yeah it is. I was clutching it in my hands last night while I was sleeping.
Leslie - Aww, you must really miss him then.
Morgan - You bet I do. I just needed something near me that smelled like James so I could sleep last night.
Leslie - Aww, that is so cute.
Morgan - I love him so much.
Leslie - Aww, I know you do. It doesn’t even seem like you two are married with how are in love you guys are.
Morgan - I hope it lasts cuz I don’t want to lose him like the way I lost Jordan.
Leslie - I know you do. I hope he calls you soon cuz I know it kills you not having him here.
Morgan - (Smiles) Aww, he is so sweet.
Leslie - What did he do?
Morgan - Just sent me a really sweet text.
Leslie - Aww, what does it say?
Morgan - “Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, stop and smile because I am thinking of you. Baby I miss you so please close your eyes and come meet me in our dreams tonight.”
Leslie - Aww, that is so sweet. Why don’t you go up and take a nap? You look tired.
Morgan - I think I will.
Leslie - I’ll wake you if James calls.
Morgan - Ok

Morgan saves her game and quits playing. She goes up stairs and lays down on her bed. She’s asleep a few minutes later. Later that night she’s woken up by her tablet going off. It’s James calling her.

James - Hey baby. I hope I didn’t wake you.
Morgan - No, you didn’t.
James - Ok good cuz I know you haven’t been sleeping well lately.
Morgan - I hope it was ok that I slept with one of your t-shirts last night.
James - Missing me that much babe?
Morgan - Of course I am. I want to be there with you James.
James - I know you do honey cuz I want you here laying on my bed next to me right now.
Morgan - I wish I could be there cuddling with you right now. That’s why I was clutching one of your t-shirts last night. So that I had something that smelled like you near me.
James - I may have stole one of your stuffed animals so I did the same thing. I can ask if I can come home early if you want me home that bad.
Morgan - Aww, you would do that for me?
James - Sure I would. I miss you and want to be with you baby. I love you so much honey.
Morgan - I love you too James. I have a surprise for you when you come home.
James - And I can’t wait to see it.
Morgan - I’ve thought of a couple names for our little girl.
James - What are they baby?
Morgan - Isabella Sophia and Madison Kayleigh
James - Wow, both names are great. What about Isabella Madison?
Morgan - Oh I like that.
James - You should go eat something honey.
Morgan - I know I should.
James - Could I say good night to JJ?
Morgan - Of course you can.

Morgan goes into the nursery so James can say good night to JJ. She turns her tablet so James can see JJ.

James - Hey little man. Daddy loves you so much. I miss you and Mommy so much. I will be home soon to spend time with you and Mommy before the season starts. (He sees Morgan smiling and crying) Hey baby what’s wrong?
Morgan - Just seeing how sweet you are with our son.
James - I guess I’ve gone a little soft since he came into my life.
Morgan - Aww, but I still love you James.
James - I love you too baby.
Morgan - I’m going to go eat something and then head to bed.
James - Ok, I’ll call you tomorrow.
Morgan - Ok, night sweetie
James - Night baby, I love you.
Morgan - I love you too.

James and Morgan hang up. Morgan gives JJ a kiss and then quietly goes down stairs to have something to eat. She makes her some chicken soup to eat. She eats her soup and the curls up on the couch and plays Aveyond for a little while until she gets tired and heads to bed. It’s now the weekend and James comes home. He goes up stairs and sees Morgan sound asleep on their bed. He smiles when he lays down beside her and wraps his arms around so that they’re spooning with each other. He’s asleep a short time later until later that night. James wakes up and starts nuzzling and kissing Morgan’s neck until she wakes up. She turns over so now that she’s facing James. They begin looking into each others eyes and begin to kiss.

James - I really missed you. (Caresses Morgan’s cheek and gives her a kiss on the lips)
Morgan - I missed you too James.
James - Feels nice holding you in my arms right now.
Morgan - I sure missed cuddling with you.
James - So did I. I hate being away from you.
Morgan - I know you do cuz I hate it too.
James - You ok honey?
Morgan - I have a little bit of a headach.
James - Did you want me to fix you something to eat baby?
Morgan - Could you make me some chicken soup?
James - Sure honey I would be glad to.

James gives Morgan a kiss and then goes down stairs to fix Morgan some chicken soup. Morgan sighs and then goes down stairs. She sneaks up behind James and wraps her arms around his wasit. James tells Morgan to set the table. Morgan sets the table and a short time later James brings soup out for the two of them. Morgan takes a hold of James’s hand and thanks him for being so wonderful with JJ and taking care of her this summer. They finish eating and then pick up the table. They go into the living room and start cuddling on the couch for a little while. Morgan tells James she’s going to head up to bed. James tells her that he’ll be up in a little bit. Morgan gives James a kiss and then heads up stairs. She gets ready for bed and then lays down on the bed. She is asleep a little while later. A little while later James comes up stairs. He goes into the nursery to check on JJ before heading to bed. JJ is sound asleep so James quietly leaves the nursery. He goes into his and Morgan’s bedroom and sees that she is sound asleep. He gets ready for bed and then lays down on the bed beside Morgan. He wraps his arms around her and is asleep a short time later until the next morning. A few weeks pass and James to team Canada’s Olympic summer camp. He comes home a few days later. It’s now the first part of September. Morgan has now been put on bed rest until little Isabella is born. It might be sooner then she expected but that’s another story for another day.

The End
