It’s the night of the first game of James’s conditioning stint. Morgan is sitting near the bench watching James warm up. As he’s warming up he skates by the bench and smiles at Morgan. The nice girl sitting beside Morgan starts talking to her.

Kaylee - Oh do you date one of the players too?
Morgan - Actually I’m married to one of them.
Kaylee - Wow, really? Which one?
Morgan - James Neal
Kaylee - He’s here for conditioning right?
Morgan - Yes he was sent here for a couple games since he was really sick last month. So which one of the guys are you with?
Kaylee - Beau
Morgan - Oh so you’re the Kaylee he talks about all the time on Twitter.
Kaylee - Yes that’s me and you must be Morgan. James tweets about all the time and I have to say you’re babies are so cute.
Morgan - Oh thank you.

The first period ends and James has scored 2 of the 3 Baby Pens goals. Second period starts and there’s no scoring. Third period starts and James scores again completing his hat trick. The game ends with the Baby Pens winning 4-2. Morgan makes her way towards the locker room to wait for James. A little while later James comes out of the locker room and smiles when he sees Morgan. He walks over to her and wraps his arms around her.

James - Sure nice to have you here with me.
Morgan - There’s no where else I’d rather be.
James - I love you.
Morgan - I love you too.

They begin looking into each others eyes and start to kiss. They continue to kiss until they get ready to head back to their hotel room. They get back to the hotel and then head up to their room. James gets ready for bed while Morgan goes into the bathroom and puts on a sexy piece of pink and black leopard print lingerie. She goes back over to the bed and lays down next to James.

James - Wow, you look so sexy.
Morgan - Do you really mean that?
James - You bet I do.
Morgan - So my less then prefect body right now doesn’t bother you?
James - Of course not. To me you’re not gross or fat. To me you’re beautiful.
Morgan - Aww, that’s really sweet.
James - I mean it baby.

They begin to look into each other eyes and begin to kiss. They start tearing each others clothes and continue to kiss when James starts kissing other parts of Morgan’s body. Morgan starts to moan.

Morgan - Oh James. Oh god James.
James - Oh Morgan baby I love you.
Morgan - Oh James I love you too.
James - Oh baby you are so beautiful.
Morgan - Oh James do you really think that about me?
James - Oh baby of course I do. God baby I love you so much.
Morgan - Oh James I love you too.

The sex continues until Morgan orgasms. James gets off of her when she lays her head on his chest and goes right to sleep. James wraps his arm around Morgan and is asleep a few minutes later until the next morning. Morgan is still asleep when James leaves for morning practice. She’s woken up by her cell phone.

Leslie - I’m sorry hon. I didn’t mean to wake you.
Morgan - It’s ok.
Leslie - Having a good time with James?
Morgan - You bet I am. It’s nice having some alone time with him.
Leslie - I see he had a hat trick last night.
Morgan - Yes, it was great seeing him play so well. I think he’s finally feeling better.
Leslie - When are you guys coming home?
Morgan - Either Sunday night after his game or Monday morning.
Leslie - With the tone in your voice sounds like you two had a romantic night last night.
Morgan - We did and it was wonderful.
Leslie - Aww, I hope you two end up with that 3rd baby that you want so bad.
Morgan - As long as him and I aren’t judged for wanting 3, 4, or 5 kids.
Leslie - To the hell with anyone who judges you and James for wanting to have a big family. Your marriage and love life is none of their business.
Morgan - Now I’m see moronic rumors saying that he really wasn’t sick last month.
Leslie - The media is disgusting. He most certainly was sick. What are they saying why he missed game?
Morgan - That he was suspended for drug use.
Leslie - Oh my god, he doesn’t use drugs. He comes home to you and your babies every night.
Morgan - All the media is trying to do is make James look like a horrible person cuz he’s not buddy buddy with the media.
Leslie - And can you really blame him?
Morgan - No, I can’t blame him for being surly with the media. I plan on emailing the Trib and telling them they’re flat out wrong about him.
Leslie - Oh I would if I were you.
Morgan - I’m going to go since I think I hear him coming.
Leslie - Aww, ok
Morgan - I’ll talk to you later.
Leslie - Bye

The girls hang up when James comes back into the room. He sits on the bed next to Morgan looking really upset.

Morgan - Hey, what’s wrong sweetie?
James - Did you see the articles being written about me?
Morgan - Yes I’ve seen them and I’m not to happy with the crap they’re saying about you.
James - I’ve never used any drugs. I rarely go out drinking with the guys anymore since I met you.
Morgan - We both know that you come right home after practice and games.
James - Why would they spread lies about me?
Morgan - Cuz you’re not buddy buddy with the media and they need stories to sell their newspapers.
James - That is just disgusting.
Morgan - Don’t worry honey I’ll make it right.
James - What are you going to do?
Morgan - Contact the Trib and tell them to knock it off.
James - Do you really think that will stop the bogus articles from showing up?
Morgan - I don’t know but I have to try.
James - Just promise me you won’t leave me if they continue to make me look like a horrible person.
Morgan - James, honey, a few bogus articles won’t make me divorce you. I would regret it if I left you.
James - Do you really mean that?
Morgan - Of course I do. I love you so much James.
James - I love you too.

Morgan - I’m not but I spent a couple hours down at the spa today. So I have body lotion on.
James - Well it smells really nice.
Morgan - (Laughs) Well get use to it cuz the nice spa lady said I should use it more. My skin got really dry after Isabella was born.
James - Now baby why don’t you turn over here so I can kiss you better?
Morgan - Well ok

Morgan turns over so now that she is facing James. The begin looking into each other eyes and begin to kiss.

The sex continues until Morgan orgasms. James gets off of her when she lays her head on his shoulder and goes right to sleep. James wraps his arm around her and goes to sleep till the next morning. The weekend comes and goes. James finishes his conditioning stint scoring 7 goals and 3 assists. James and Morgan are back in Pittsburgh. James arrives at morning practice and notices his name plate missing from his locker. He asks some of the guys what’s going and no one says anything to him. He’s then told by one of the coaches to get out of the locker room. James confused asks what’s going on. He’s told he’s been traded to Carolina. Angry and upset he grabs his things and goes home. He gets home and angrily throws his bags down. He goes into the living room and sits on the couch. Morgan comes down stairs and sees James holding his head.

Morgan - Hey, what are you doing home already?
James - I was sent home.
Morgan - What? Why?
James - While we were away for the weekend apparently I was traded to Carolina.
Morgan - What? No, they can’t do that. (Drops to her knees and starts crying)
James - (Comes over to Morgan and helps her up. He brings her over to the couch and wraps his arm around her.) Shh, don’t cry honey. Come on baby it’ll be ok.
Morgan - (Continues to cry) Why would they trade you and then not tell you?
James - (Wipes the tears from Morgan’s eyes) I don’t know honey. I’m guessing it had to with those bogus articles about me.
Morgan - It’s just not fair cuz we both know you never did anything wrong.
James - I know I didn’t. (Notices Morgan crying again and shaking) Honey? You ok?
Morgan - I’m sorry James for losing it like that. I think it’s time I take a pregnancy test.
James - If you’re pregnant again that would explain you not feeling well since we got home.
Morgan - I’ll be right back.

Morgan goes upstairs to the bathroom and takes a pregnancy test. A little while later the
test comes back positive. She goes back down stairs and sits on the couch next to James.

James - So? What did the test say?
Morgan - (Smiles) It came back positive.
James - (Smiles) Really?
Morgan - (Smiles) Yes honey I’m pregnant.
James - Makes me feel a little better about being traded.
Morgan - I can call Jordan and ask him if we can stay with him till we find our own place to live.
James - You think he’d be willing to help us out?
Morgan - Of course he would.

Morgan calls Jordan hoping he’s around.

Jordan - Hey this is a nice surprise.
Morgan - Sorry to bother you but I need a favor,
Jordan - Anything for you. What do you need?
Morgan - Can James and I come stay with you till we find a place to live?
Jordan - Place to live? What about the house there?
Morgan - James was traded to Carolina yesterday morning without anyone telling him. He found out this morning when he went to practice.
Jordan - Wow, that’s not right. Of course you guys can stay with me.
Morgan - Thank you Jordan.
Jordan - Anything for you guys. I will have extra keys made.
Morgan - I’ll call you when we leave.
Jordan - Alright
