They arrived at the apartment complex that Eddie had given them the address to. Alan was once again carrying 'Carlos' in the baby carrier. He was trying to make a reference to the movie, 'Three Men and a Baby'.

"I mean, it doesn't really work because we have Marley too but, have you seen it? It's got, uh, Ted Danson, Magnum P.I. and that Jewish actor."

"Shut up, Alan!" Stu hissed, clearly distressed by how he was about to meet the woman he doesn't remember marrying. "What room is it again?"

"825." Marley responded, "Get excited, Stu, this could be the woman of your dreams."

As Marley finished speaking, the blonde woman from the pictures walked out of one of the apartments. She was on the phone and smiled at the sight of all of them. "I found him! I'll call you back." She hung up the phone and smiled at them all, "Thank god! He's with his father! I was freaking out." Marley had to hide her laugh at how Jade was already calling Stu the father of her son. Jade picked up the baby out of the carrier, "I missed you, sweetie!" She turned to Stu, "And I missed you." She spoke seductively.

Jade started kissing Stu, passionately. Marley, Alan and Phil all glanced at each other, holding back laughter. Stu pulled back and Jade was still smiling, "What the hell happened to you guys?"

"Actually, we were hoping you could tell us." Phil smiled at her.

"What do you mean? I got up this morning, I went to get you guys all coffee and I came back and you were gone." None of them responded. Jade looked back at Stu, "Why are you being so quiet?"

Stu laughed nervously, "I'm not being quiet."

Jade just giggled at him, "You're so cute. I gotta feed Tyler. Come inside!" She grabbed Stu's hand and led them all into her apartment.

"Did you hear that?" Alan whispered to Marley and Phil, "The baby's name is Tyler." He sounded extremely disappointed.

Marley patted him on the back, "I thought he looked like more of a Carlos too. Right, Phil?"

"Yeah, totally." Phil nodded.

The four of them sat down on Jade's couch. She was pouring out a glass of iced tea for Stu. "Okay, what's up? You guys are acting weird."

"Look, it's Jade, right?" Phil asked.

"Very funny, Phil." Jade said, sarcastically, acting as if they had all been friends for years. She handed Stu his iced tea.

"Right, Jade, uh. Do you remember our friend, Doug?"

"Are you kidding? He was the best man at our wedding! Marley's brother!" She exclaimed.

"Exactly!" Marley nodded, playing along, "We can't find him, and we're getting worried."

Jade laughed loudly, "That is so Doug!"

Out of nowhere, Stu spat a mouthful of iced tea out of his mouth and it landed on Tyler, who started crying. Jade tried to calm him down and went to go clean him off, "It's fine, daddy didn't mean it!"

Once Jade was out of the room, Stu held his head in his hands, "Oh my god."

"What the fuck, man? You've gotta hold it together." Phil lectured him.

"Holy shit!" Stu gasped out, biting down on his hand, eyes wide with fear.

Marley placed a hand on his shoulder and spoke quietly, "Stu, she is gorgeous and so sweet. You should be proud of yourself! And she's such a step up from Melissa. I've spoken to the woman for 2 minutes and I already like her better."

"Marley, she is wearing my grandmother's ring! The ring I'm going to give to Melissa. You remember, my grandmother's holocaust ring?"

"Fuck." Phil's eyes were now wide. Marley had her hand over her mouth, thinking it was truly a fucked up situation.

"I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust." Alan piped up. Marley just looked at him, dumbfounded.

Jade came out of her bedroom, carrying Tyler, "He's okay. He was just hungry." She sat down on the armchair across from them.

"Oh, good. About last night,: Phil spoke, "Do you remember the last time you saw Doug?"

"I haven't seen him since the wedding."

Phil pulled the napkin and pen out of his pocket, "The wedding, okay. And, uh, what time was that at?"

"Well, uh," Jade began speaking as she pulled down her top, revealing her bare breast as she began to feed Tyler. Phil cleared his throat and looked away, as did Stu. Marley could have applauded her bravery. Jade continued, "I guess it was around 1, because I had to go back to work and finish my shift. And then when I got out, I headed over to the hotel with Tyler."

"Was Doug there?" Marley asked her.

"I didn't see Doug. Alan and Stu were passed out and you two..." She nodded towards Marley and Stu, smirking, "Well, let's just say, I've never seen a make-out sesh so sloppy!"

Marley cleared her throat, "Jesus. At least that was all we were doing." Phil looked at her and raised his eyebrows. His cheeks were going pink, which Marley had to admit was the cutest thing she had ever seen.

"But, I put Tyler in his carseat to sleep and by the time I had done that, you two had already fallen asleep, curled up together. It was so cute! So I just curled up next to Stu." She giggled slightly and made a growling sound, making Marley and Phil looked to Stu, grinning.

Stu pursed his lips together and awkwardly waved his hand in the air, "I've got a question. Um, you said when your shift ended? Does that mean you're a nurse? Or a blackjack dealer?"

"You know this, I'm a stripper!" Jade stated in a tone as if it was obvious.

"Yeah, Stu, duh!" Marley tried to joke to him but he didn't find it funny in the slightest.

Jade continued, "Well, technically, I'm an escort. But, stripping is a great way to meet the clients."

"Smart!" Phil nodded and smiled at Stu.

"Savvy!" Marley joined in.

"Oh! Marley, did you give it anymore thought?" Jade asked her.

Marley knitted her brows together and shook her head, "Um...sorry, give what anymore thought?"

Jade laughed again, still not catching on that none of them had any idea what went down last night. "Stripping! I brought you up on stage with me and you were a pro. Then you started saying you were going to quit your job and become a stripper. Phil was agreeing with you, and he even tried to talk to my boss about giving you a job."

"Sounds about right." Phil chuckled, "Jade, by any chance do you have video footage of Marley's stripping abilities? Just need to see that raw talent again." Marley slapped his leg, making him laugh even more.

"Unfortunately not." Jade laughed along with him, "But, all that's in past for me, now that I've married a doctor!"

Stu shrugged and smiled at her, "I'm just a dentist."

Jade had a look of confusion on her face. But before she could ask any questions, her front door was busted open. Two police officers entered, holding up their guns. "Las Vegas police! Freeze!" At all the commotion, Tyler was crying loudly. Jade held him close to her and tried to calm him down. The other four on the couch all stuck their arms up. "SHUT THAT BABY UP! SHUT THAT BABY UP!" The male police officer yelled.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Phil shouted back to them.

"You four!" The woman officer pointed to them, "You're coming with us, right now."
