It was all because of a girl that Ben broke the plan. Her name was Chloe and he'd been hitting on her for a while. When she finally asked him to come over to her place, Ben begged his friends to watch Emma. Bonnie was out with Riley working on lawyer stuff and Brooke was working the night shift. So Danny and Tucker were up. And it was disastrous. First, Tucker decided to bail out on Danny, without Danny knowing. He was sure that two people weren't needed and dashed out the door to go bowling. Then Danny, thinking Tucker was still at home, left for a party, leaving Emma alone. Somewhat luckily for them, Brooke had texted Danny and Tucker asking them how was Emma and they both said that the other was taking care of her. When she learned that the baby was alone, Brooke told the bartender that she was clocking out early and ran out the door to her car, heading straight for Ben's apartment. But both Bonnie and Riley had been at the bar working on Bonnie's will, and when they saw Brooke run out the door like that, they seemed to catch on really fast. When they got to Ben's apartment, they met Brooke right outside the door. And when she saw them, she panicked.
"Oh heeeeyy Mrs. Wheeler! Hey Riley!" she said, blocking the door. "How's the lawyer stuff going?" Bonnie had no time for nonsense.
"Cut the chatter, Rucker." She said. Rucker was Brooke's last name. "I saw you dash out of that bar like your pants were on fire. Why are you here? Is it time for me to tell Ben I told you so?" Brooke shook her head vigorously.
"Nope! No reason! Ben's doing just great!" she said. Then Bonnie pushed past her and went into the apartment, where she found that no one but Emma was home. Brooke sighed and texted Ben that he might not want to come home. Of course, being Ben, he called both Danny and Tucker, found they weren't home, and raced home to Emma, where Bonnie was waiting with a big fat I told you so and Emma in her arms. Riley stood next to her with her arms crossed and Brooke sat on the couch, looking like a punished child. Ben paid no attention to anyone but Emma. He went straight up to her, took her from Bonnie, and held her close.
"I'm so sorry Emma." He murmured. "I promise, I will never let you out of my sight again." Bonnie was impressed by this. She even admitted that she had once left Danny at the grocery store and that she was proud of Ben. It was a really touching moment, until Danny and Tucker came running in.
"EMMA!" They shouted, going up to her. "Are you okay?" Riley shook her head.
"She's got three guys fawning over her. She's got what every girl dreams of." She mumbled. And that was the rough night.
