Lauren Gallagher

Who's Your Daddy? Lauren Gallagher

Everyone's bringing baggage to this baby shower... Carmen James is nowhere near finished picking up the pieces after her divorce, and the last thing she needs is a positive pregnancy test. The fact that she doesn't know for sure who the father is doesn't help matters, but on the bright side, there's only two candidates: Donovan, her best friend... or Isaac, his longtime boyfriend. Carmen's struggling with an impossible-to-please family in between getting back on her feet. Donovan has his hands full with a teenager, plus a strained relationship with his own father, whose approval Donovan desperately craves. Isaac's questioning his sexuality, not to mention wondering if he can handle a newborn at forty. And to top it off, they won't know who the father actually is until the baby's born, which has both men questioning how the outcome will affect their longstanding relationship. Oh, and there's that minor detail about the undeniable three-way attraction that got them all into bed in the first place. Since they're all quite compatible in the bedroom, and Carmen's already pregnant, a casual sexual relationship seems like a good idea in the beginning. When emotions get involved, though, they could drive Carmen, Donovan, and Isaac apart when they need each other the most. Get ready for three people in one hell of a pickle (anyone have any ice cream?), parents who suck at parenthood, parents-to-be who think they'll suck at parenthood, a relationship-friendship-sexual-kind-of-thing that keeps getting more complicated, and a Chuck Norris joke.
