"You drove? " Marco asked Raven.

"No," she said as they walked into the parking lot.

"Good.  Tell them goodnight you riding with me to drop them off" he said. They get in the car 10 minutes later pulling off.  Marco drops,  Kam off first,  then Steven and Quan.  Marco pulls off looking at Raven "Dont think I ain't seen my security guard talk to yo ass before you walked in

"Watching me? " she asked smiling at him. 

"You know I am.  And he knows what's up now"

"You can't control everything, Marco. "

"Anyways. It's something I want to say"

"What? " she said instantly

"First calm down," he said smiling. He grabs her hand while driving "These passed months hoping we get back together.  I went and bought a house for us"

"You what? "

"Yeah.  I'm ready to come home to you and my son. We can go look at it, " he said

"You went and bought a house, Marco? "

"Yeah. What's wrong with that? "

"Nothing.  None of that drug shit around the house though. "

"Made a room just for that ducked off.  Let's say a private room" he said.  Marco pulls up at his house to grab some clothes he gets out seeing Madison's car there but the living room light is on. He unlocks his door walking in.  Marco walks passed his living room and sees a figure so he comes back fast looking.  "Ma! " he stood there in shock.  "What?  Why?  Where? " He just couldn't come to find any words to say.  He hearts starts pounding then tears start rolling.  His mother was his heart.  She walks up to her hugging her tight "Ma! " He said crying hard. 

"I'm so sorry son," she said crying with him. "You look so handsome," she said rubbing his face while he cried. 

"What happened to you? " He asked looking at her holding his mother. 

"Your father is what happened," she said

Raven walks in a couple of minutes after seeing Marco crying and women holding his face.  Madison was already in the living room.  "Is everything okay? " Raven asked looking at Madison

"Who is she? "Marco's mother asked

"My lady," he said but still looking at his mother.  "Talk to me ma. " He said looking concerned.

They went and sat down on the couch.  His mother Ronda grabbed his hands looking at him.  "You knew the type of man your father was.  I didn't just disappear from y'all.  I was taken by one of his people"

"WHAT? " Marco said standing up. 

"Baby sit down," she said and he did just that.  "I was taken.  Your father didn't give a fuck. But I'm okay.  I made sure Madison got out when she could.  I know what happened between all of us wasn't supposed to go that way.  I'm sorry for even letting that man control not only me but you too Son " Ronda said

"He fucked me up ma," he said

"I know he did baby.  I should have gotten y'all out sooner,  but the closer I got he knew" She said rubbing his face. 

Raven's phone rings.  She gets up going into the kitchen "Hello"

"Hey. Your son had run out of milk.  I looked in the cabinets but it wasn't anymore."

"Crap.  That's what I forgot.  Hold on" Raven said walking back into the living.  "Sorry,  I ain't mean to interrupt but Son doesn't have any more milk at my house. Do you got some? "

"Yeah in the cabinet.  Why you ain't go buy none? "

"Forgot too," she said

"You have a son? " His mother asked

"Yes, I do ma.  He's 7 months now"

"I hope to get to meet him one day," she said

"You will."

"I'm going to drop this off.  So I need your keys" Raven said

Marco threw her the keys. "Just come back with a son.  Matter of fact I'm going.  You staying here ma? " he asked getting up. 

"I can"

"No, I want you to. I can't lose you again too" He said

"Your not" she said standing up "I be here when you get back"
