It’s the start of training camp. Due to the lockout there’s only 48 games this season. James has invited Morgan and Leslie to the first open practice. The girls are sitting behind the bench. Morgan watches James skate by and smiles. Leslie smiles seeing how in love her best friend is.

Leslie - It’s so nice to see you finally happy.
Morgan - I am so happy being with James. I love him so much.
Leslie - Aww, I know you do and it’s so nice to see you with a guy who loves you.

Just then a group of puck bunnies hear James’s name and get annoyed that he has a new girlfriend. They come over to where Morgan and Leslie are sitting.

Morgan - What do you want?
Puck bunny 1 - How dare you date Nealer.
Morgan - He can date whoever he wants and he chose me.
Puck bunny 2 - Why the hell would he date you? It’s not like your model.
Morgan - James loves me. So just accept it that he chose me over you three.
Puck bunny 3 - He will never stay with you. You’re too old for him.
Leslie - Of course James will stay with her. He’s not going to leave the mother of his 2 month old son.
Puck bunny 1 - Son? What do you mean son?
Morgan - James and I have a 2 month old son named JJ.
Puck bunny 2 - How much money did you pay him to sleep with you?
Leslie - She didn’t pay him anything. Now leave us alone before we get an usher to throw you out.
Puck bunny 3 - Fine we’ll leave but someday James will date one of us.

The puck bunnies leave and go back to their seats. Leslie tries to calm down Morgan and then realizes why Morgan’s hormones are out of whack.

Leslie - You’re pregnant aren’t you?
Morgan - James and I weren’t going to say anything yet but yes I am.
Leslie - Aww, no wonder you two look so happy. Don’t worry I won’t say anything.
Morgan - I’m just afraid when we do announce this pregnancy we’ll be judged for having another baby so soon after having JJ.
Leslie - Aww, well to the hell with anyone who judges you and James for having another baby.
Morgan - At least we have you on our side.
Leslie - Aww, well you two are my best friends and I want to see you two happy. Just look at him smile at you when he skates by the bench. He loves you hon.
Morgan - I know he does and I love him too.
Leslie - You two are such a cute couple.
Morgan - (Smiles) We are aren’t we?
Leslie - (Smiles) Yes you guys are. Looks like your man is leaving. Are you ready to go?
Morgan - Sure, lets go.

The girls get up from their seats so that they can meet up with James. They makes their way towards the locker room They wait for James to come out. A little while later James comes out of the locker room. He smiles when he sees Morgan. He goes over to her and gives her a hug and kiss. They continue to kiss until they get ready to leave. As they head to James’s car James wraps his arm around Morgan. They leave the players parking lot and take Leslie home. James and Morgan finally get home. Morgan tells James she’s going to go take a nap. James tells her that he’ll join her in a little bit. They go inside and Morgan heads up to her and James’s bedroom. She lays on the bed and is asleep minutes later. A little while later James comes upstairs and goes into the bedroom. He sees that Morgan is sound asleep. He lays down beside her, covers them with the blanket that’s on the bed, wraps his arms around her, and goes right to sleep till later that night. James wakes up and starts kissing Morgan’s neck. He whispers in her ear ‘I love you baby.’ Morgan wakes up and turns her head so that she can kiss James. They begin looking into each others eyes and start to kiss.

James - I love you so much.
Morgan - I love you so much too James.
James - Why don’t you turn over here so you don’t hurt your neck trying to kiss me?
Morgan - (Smiles) Well ok

Morgan turns over so that she’s facing James. They begin looking into each others eyes and begin to kiss again. They continue to kiss when James starts nuzzling Morgan’s neck. She smiles and returns the favor by nuzzling James’s face.

James - I love you so much.
Morgan - I love you so much too James.
James - How about we stay like this the rest of the night?
Morgan - That would be ok with me.
James - Are you hungry at all baby?
Morgan - You could go get us something.
James - Ok, I won’t be gone long.
Morgan - Ok
James - I love you.
Morgan - I love you too.

James gives Morgan a kiss and then leaves to get them something to eat. Morgan lays on the bed and sighs thinking about how wonderful her life is now being James’s girlfriend, having a beautiful son with James, and expecting their second baby. She goes down stairs and starts to set the table. A little while later James comes home. He puts the food bags on the table. He goes into the kitchen and helps Morgan setting the rest of the table. He lights a couple of candles. As they’re eating James takes a hold of Morgan’s hand and smiles. They finish their dinner. James helps Morgan clean up the table. James blows out the candles. They go over to the couch and start cuddling for a little while. Morgan falls asleep a short time later. James decides to take her up to bed. He carries Morgan up to their bedroom. He lays her down on the bed, closes the door, gets under the covers and wraps his arms around Morgan holding her close so that they’re spooning with one another. James starts kissing the back of Morgan’s neck. This continues until he falls asleep. Training camp lasts the rest of the week. It’s now the next weekend and the Penguins will be opening their new season on the road.
