Punchline

By Jacqueline Diamond

Whose bed was she sleeping in!

The setup: To her horror, magazine editor Belle Martens discovered it wasn't all a bad joke when she woke up naked next to an equally naked rival editor, Darryl Horak. Why, she loathed the arrogant male chauvinistand his magazine. It was all because of the punch, spiked withof all things!an aphrodisiac.

The punchline: The pregnancy test was positive. How could that be? Then again, how could she forget? She and Darryl in bed. Together. Naked. Belle just wished she remembered some of it!

The knockout: Darryl moved in and discovered he liked living with the sexy, vivacious redhead. The perpetual playboy began imagining babies (not just one). But what about when Belle saw his article on "Why Fathers Make Better Parents"?

Ouch!
