Sipping a crystal flute of sparkling grape juice “wine,” Morgan knew Nina’s team party was going to be phenomenal. Nina had chosen the Natural History Museum for the venue. The elegant table settings and fabulous food were sure to be a big hit with Jocelyn. The evening would be perfect, as long as Morgan didn’t run into Charisma and Lamont.

Her cousin’s volatile relationship with the wide receiver was back on, and Morgan was sure there would be media hijinks aplenty, as usual. Charisma was nothing if not predictable.

Morgan spotted Nina out in the hallway on her phone. She headed toward her, but the tuxedoed waiter carrying the crab salad on endive appetizers on a tray caused her to make a sharp left turn after him. Her eyes rolled back in head as soon as she took a bite.

“Is it that good?” someone said from a distance.

Morgan opened her eyes to see Lamont walking her way. “I’m pregnant, Lamont. Everything is good to me. But this is exceptional.”

“Congratulations on the new babies.” He gave her the once over.

“Thank you. I hear you and Charisma are back together.”

“Well…not exactly together.”

“Lamont, tell me something. Is your dance around commitment the same as your end zone dance?”

Lamont looked at her, shocked. Morgan laughed to herself. There were no charming comebacks for that one.

The babies started drumming her organs like bongos, and the hair on the back of her neck stood up. In the distance she could hear Charisma’s exaggerated laughter coming their way.

Charisma appeared out of nowhere and linked arms with Lamont. “Lamont, is the queen bee giving you trouble?”

Lamont remained quiet.

“Hi, Charisma. Yes, your Uncle Curtis is recovering well at home since his bypass surgery. Thank you for asking.” Morgan’s jaw ticked.

Charisma put her hand on her hip. “I know how he’s doing. Lamont and I stopped by the house and my mom calls Sydney daily. Did you hear I’m going to be on Match Wits too?”

“Yes. I heard you will be on Ariana’s team. It’s so refreshing to see you doing something for the benefit of others.”

Charisma rolled her eyes at her. “You’re not the only person in the family who has an interest in charity work.”

“You know Charisma, true charity begins at home.” Morgan smiled.

Seth came over and put his arm around Morgan’s waist. “Hey babe, did you find Nina?”

“She’s still in the hall on the phone,” she answered, then turned back to Charisma and Lamont, who was looking as if he wanted to find the nearest exit. “If you two will excuse us, I’d like to have sex with my husband again, so we’re headed to the coat closet.” Morgan pulled on Seth’s hand and led him away.

“I really do love it when you’re pregnant,” he chuckled.

“Are they still looking at us?” she murmured.

Seth stole a glance over his shoulder. “Yep. Charisma looks disgusted and Lamont slightly turned on.”

“If we have to be around those two, we may as well have some fun.”
