Naomi laid her mother to rest a month ago but had to stay a while to get herself and everything around her together. She ends up moving to Minnesota with Raven.  Raven ends up selling her parent's house for 200k. 

They pulled up to Raven,  Eve, and Danny's home.  "Okay, all this might feel fresh Naomi.  It took me a while to get used to being here.  But you'll like it,  cause you have us" Raven said smiling

"It'll all come to me.  Just give me time" Naomi said getting out. 

They walked in.  Naomi looks around liking how the house looks.  It fits her. "So where's my room?" She asked

"Come on," Raven said taking her to the extra room downstairs in the back.  She walks in stunned at how beautiful it looks

"You can change anything In here how you like it.  We just kept it as a guest room.  I know you are not in the mood.  So I'll let you be if you want? " Raven asked

"Yeah ill like that," Naomi said

"Just when you feel comfortable just come out and join us," Raven said walking out shutting the door, and going back to the living room. 

"How is she holding up? " Eve asked

"Just give her time.  I know she'll come back around.  I just want her to feel like she's welcome and we're here for her. " Raven said

"Aye, we have another sister. I'm with that" Danny said

"She gone love us. " Eve said "Ugh feels like we ain't been home in a year"

"Right," Danny said going to the fridge. She walks back with some red wine. Pouring up everyone a cup.  Naomi comes out sitting down. 

"Drink boo? " Danny asked

"Yes that'll be fine," Naomi said "Sorry I've been so down these past months.  "

"Don't apologize for nothing. You take as much time as you need.  Cuss us out and all.  We would get it" Eve said

Naomi laughs "Thanks"

"Got you to laugh. That's a start y'all" Eve said smiling. 

Later that day

"All this family shit hitting a nigga.  But you know I have to stay strong for Raven now Naomi"

"You doing what you have to do and I respect you for that.  That's why we locked in.  Always had a nigga back" Marco said

A cop car gets behind them running Marco's plates. They flashed the lights. 

"Fuck! " Marco said becoming worried

"Just be cool bro. "

"Nigga we got that shit in the back seat," Marco said pulling over.

"Bro just chills damn," Steven said seeing the cop come up to the window. 

He knocks on it.  Marco raised his window down.  "Licenses and Registration "

"Can I get in my glove department to get it? " Marco asked

"Go on head," The officer said grabbing onto his pistol.
