A female drug lord moves cocaine as only a woman would: in baby carriers. She gives Walter, her drug runner, a baby carrier to take directly to Roshaun, who works for the Jade Skull Syndicate, but when Walter arrives at the drop, he finds out that instead of cocaine, he has a live baby. Roshaun instantly falls in love with the baby, and decides to keep it. Walter tries to get it back, worried that Mrs. X will kill them both, but Roshaun is not giving up on his lifelong dream of being a father.
