Everyone's bringing baggage to this baby shower. After her divorce, Carmen James is still trying to get back on her feet when fate pulls the rug out from under her. She's pregnant-and she's not sure who's the father. Just one more thing for her impossible-to-please family to worry about. On the bright side, there are only two candidates: her best friend, Donovan, and Isaac. His boyfriend. A little too much wine and the desire to comfort lead Donovan and Isaac to a night they both hope Carmen doesn't regret. When she drops the bomb, though, Donovan's plate, already crowded with a teenage son and a disapproving father, gets fuller. And Isaac, who's still coming to terms with his bisexuality, wonders how he'll handle fatherhood at forty. Above all, both men worry that whatever the answer to the ultimate question-which of them got her pregnant-it will forever alter their longstanding friendship with Carmen. While they're waiting for that answer, though, continuing their casual sexual relationship with her feels natural. But when emotions get involved, the cracks in their logic begin to drive Isaac, Don and Carmen apart just when they need each other the most. Warning: This book contains 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.
