Ok guys here it is, a new story! Whoo! This was suggested to me and I just loved the idea a lot! It took me a little bit of time to come up with ideas in my head on how I wanted to start it and what I wanted to happen. Here it is I hope you like it.
Suggestion from:

Prompt:
Reba is in a relationship with a guy name Kenneth. The whole family loves him even Brock, but what happens when Kenneth turns physically abusive towards Reba. Will Brock be able to save the woman he still loves (Barbra Jean/Brock separated) (Van/Reba friendship)
I changed the name Kenneth to Nick, I hope you don't mind. Oh and the song they dance to is (Unforgettable by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole). Now read it and enjoy! :)
Ch. 1 Unforgettable
Reba and Nick were enjoying their candlelight dinner out on his patio. The whole place looked amazing, he must have worked really hard on it. There was a wood canopy above their heads with beautiful lights hanging throughout it, a warm fire in the fire place, champagne in two glasses on the table, and a juicy steak on her plate. To say the least, Reba was happy. She and Nick have been dating for six months, in fact, they were celebrating their anniversary tonight. The funny thing is, they met through Brock. Nick and Brock are golfing buddies, on the day Barbara Jean and Brock's divorce was made final, the two of them went golfing to take Brock's mind off of his second failed marriage. She had never been so happy that Brock's marriage didn't last, because if it didn't, she and Nick never would have met, and she's happy they met.
"Nick, this place looks just amazing, how did you ever do it? You didn't have to go through all that trouble for me."
"I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. I would do anything for you, especially if you could see your smile right now, that is the best reward."
Reba blushed and gave him a kiss, she just loved the way he cared for her.
Nick grabbed a small remote and pressed a button, in the background her favorite song turned on.
"Can I have this dance?"
Reba laughed and let Nick take her hand, "This is my favorite song!"
"I know, Unforgettable that's what you are" He started singing
"Unforgettable though near or far"
"Like a song of love that clings to me, how the thought of you does things to me."
They were dancing around the patio and singing straight to each others hearts. Reba's dress was flowing beautifully, the long light purple fabric twirling around at her ankles with every move she made, her red hair shimmering in the moonlight, the necklace Nick had given her hung around her neck, she looked stunning.
The song stopped and they just stood there for a while staring at each other. Finally Nick spoke, "Reba, you are truly unforgettable." he reached his hand up and stroked her cheek. They embraced in a tender, loving kiss.
When they pulled apart, Nick bent down to one knee.
"Reba, I have only known you for six months, but I feel like I have known you my entire life. You bring light into my days, and you are the stars in my nights. I have never known someone like you Reba, you are an unforgettable woman." He pulled out a small navy blue box from his grey tuxedo pocket, "Reba, will you marry me?"
Reba loved this man and he made her feel a way she hadn't felt in many years. She knew what she wanted to do.
"Yes, I will marry you!" She started crying tears of joy "I love you."
"I love you too!"
They kissed again and Nick put the song on. The rest of the night they just danced in each other's arms looking up at the stars in the sky.
Suddenly worry struck over Reba, "Nick?"
"What is it honey?"
"When are we going to tell the kids?"
"Whenever you are ready." Nick said reassuringly.
She smiled, he always knew how to make her feel better.
They continued dancing as the night went on, this was truly an unforgettable evening.
