⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀9:27 pm, crystal house.

Alexis is in the living room catching up on her tv show and eating extra cheesy cheez its while scrolling through pinterest during commercials breaks.

Crystal comes up and sits beside her and looks at her waiting for her to notice.

Alexis looks up and frowns a little while eating a handful of cheez its.

"What?"

"What do you mean what? you ain't bring the kids and you said you would this time"

Alexis grabs crystal's hand and laughs a little.

"You wanna see them right now? cause we can. I didn't know you wanted to see them so bad"

Crystal snatches her hand away from Alexis and grabs the box of cheez its from her lap and runs towards the main bedroom

"I didn't know you wanted these cheez its. how bout that"

Alexis gets up and chases after crystal and corners her in the corner right outside of the bedroom and gets face to face closely with her.

"You wanna see them or not?"

Crystal wraps her arms around alexis hugging her

"I wanna see you but I do wanna see them. first thing in the morning we going & you're gonna call them and make sure they up before we get there"

Alexis hugs crystal back and kisses her cheek

"calling is mad extra. I'm the mom, we can show up wherever"

They both laugh then walk back to the living room and finish watching the show. An hour in crystal and Alexis make eye contact but say nothing for a few seconds

Alexis can already read crystal's mind so she gets up then grabs the truck keys and walks towards the door and looks back at crystal

"lets go cause I see it's clearly bugging you"

Crystal frowns & looks at Alexis up & down from the couch.

"You going like that??? Don't play with me."

"Girl we going around family. They don't care, matter fact they probably not even gone see me"

Crystal gets up, walks to her closet grabbing a pair of sweatpants then walks to Alexis and hands them to her, rolling her eyes.

"You're funny. Let's go"

Alexis opens the door grabbing crystal's hand and they walk to the mothership (alexis' mommy truck) they get in, Alexis drives to the taylor/shumpert residence and they get out and come inside to Alexis' room to put their stuff down

"I know my way around. Lemme go find them. I miss them"

"Ima be in here straightening up my room cause it's a mess and we staying here tonight"

"I hear you"

Crystal walks out of alexis' room and goes to say hi to all the kids. Alexis stays behind cleaning her bedroom. Iman walks in and sits on the bed watching Alexis

"So you not gone help? cause you & elijah or sevyn the ones that fucked my shit up anyway"

"Watch your mouth. I seen crystal was here, what y'all up to?"

"Ion have to watch shit. But we came cause she missed the kids. We was gonna be over here anyways tomorrow sometime"

"Don't be showing out just cause we got company. Anyway elijah been saying "da-da" all day is what I came in here to tell yo ass.
