A/N: This is between Seasons Five and Six
Brock walked through the front door of Reba's house.
"I can't believe you are actually going to the Grand Canyon with Barbara Jean." He said. Reba looked up at him from her seat on the couch.
"Well Brock, let me tell ya. When I had my heart condition several months ago, I decided this trip couldn't be as bad as letting her drive my ashes over the Grand Canyon." Reba stood up and smiled.
"This is ridiculous. My first ex-wife is taking a road trip with my soon to be ex-wife to talk about me." Brock exclaimed.
"We must certainly aren't talking about you Brock. Do you really think that you are the only thing Barbara Jean and I can talk about?" Reba asked looking at him.
"No, of course not." Brock replied looking down at the floor and crossed his arms. Barbara Jean walked in the front door.
"Oh hi Brock. I didn't realize you'd be over here." Barbara Jean said.
"Yeah, I can come see my wife and children freely." Brock stated.
"Ex-wife." Reba corrected. Brock nodded in agreeance.
"Anyhow, Reba; I have the perfect shirts for our trip." Barbara Jean exclaimed and handed her a shirt. Reba held it up to look at it. It had bright red letters that said; "Barbara Jean and Reba's Road trip Extravaganza" and a picture of Barbara Jean underneath. Reba laughed and handed Barbara Jean the shirt.
"I'm not wearing that." Reba said.
"You have to." Barbara Jean responded.
"No I don't." Reba replied.
"Please?" Barbara Jean whined.
"No! I don't want to wear it Barbara Jean." Reba exclaimed.
"Fine. You don't have to wear it. But I will be out in the car." Barbara Jean said and walked off.
"Do you want me to stay here with the kids?" Brock asked.
"Cheyenne and Van are perfectly capable of watching Jake for a few days," Reba replied. "besides, he is almost 11."
"Okay, just asking." Brock said.
"Kids, I'm goin'!" Reba hollered up the stairs. Jake, Cheyenne, Van and Elizabeth come down the stairs.
"Bye mom." Jake hugged Reba.
"Good bye honey." Reba replied.
"Have a good time Mrs. H." Van said from behind her. Reba turned around.
"I will truly try, but it is Barbara Jean." Reba replied.
"Love you mom." Cheyenne stated. Reba turned around and hugged her oldest child.
"I love you too Cheyenne." Reba let go and walked toward the door.
"Grandma?" Elizabeth asked as Reba picked up her suitcase.
"Yes Elizabeth?" Reba questioned. Elizabeth ran over and hugged her.
"I love you grandma." Elizabeth said.
"I love you too Elizabeth." Reba replied and walked outsider with her suitcase. Barbara Jean turned the key in the ignition when Reba came out. Reba tossed her suitcase in the backseat and climbed into the front seat and closed the door. The stereo was blaring as they drove down the road.
"I turned it to all that country music you like." Barbara Jean said looking at Reba. Reba sighed. After the commercial break, the song "I'm a Survivor" came on the radio. This was going to be a long trip.
