    It will work fine the way you have it. It is just that code calls for you to connect the two black wires and a pigtail together with a wirenut and the two white wires and a pigtail together with a wirenut and run those pigtails to the new outlet. Do the same with the ground wire.

    By the way, I looked at the answer from former ebayer before answering this.
