Disclaimer: Don't own Reba don't own Brock don't own Jake don't own Henry. Don't own the 16th chapple either but that's irrelevant...lol
Reba was at home when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Reba it's me Brock," Brock said
Reba laughed
"Yes Brock I know your voice"
"I was wondering… since you have your book club meeting if I could watch Jake tonight"
"Sure," Reba said, "that would be great"
"Really?"
"Absolutely"
"Thank you Reba"
"Be here at 7 o'clock," she said, "oh and before you give him his shot make sure you give him the stuff that relaxes him"
Jake had developed a heart condition so he need to get 3 shots a day.
"Of course," he said, "your careful when you do that right"
"No," she said sarcasticaly, "I close my eyes and just leave it wherever it happened to land. Of course I'm careful about it you mo-ron,"
"Well…"
"JUST be there at 7 o'clock and he loves the funny stuff"
"Yeah I know he loves the funny stuff," Brock mumbled
"What was that?"
"Nothing… oh um… Reba I'm going to bring Henry over too alright"
"Sure"
"See you at 7 then?"
"Sure"
"Bye Reba"
"Bye Brock"
Reba hung up first. Brock hung up right after.
Brock came over at 7. He and Reba talked for a moment and then Reba left.
"So buddy what do you want to do," Brock asked Jake after he had his shot.
"I want to hold the baby," Jake said
Brock smiled. He knew BJ would say no. Actually she would probably say something like, "sorry short stuff you're too little" but BJ wasn't here tonight. Brock was.
"Okay sit down a minute," he said.
Jake sat down and when he started feeling steady Brock handed him the baby.
"Thanks daddy," Jake said excited.
Jake watched as Henry looked up at him. A few minutes later he started crying. Brock went to take him but stopped. Jake started singing.
Midnight moonlight shining through the curtain lace
Paints a perfect picture of your perfect face
One sweet angel sleeping in my arms
You are the promise I knew He would keep
You are the gift that makes my world complete
And you'll never know how much I love you
But I'm gonna keep telling you my whole life long
Now I believe in miracles and you're the reason why
So dream on as I sing you… my angel's lullaby
Brock looked on in amazement as his son stopped crying.
"Jake where did you learn that song"
"Mommy used to sing it to me when I was a baby and she sings it to Elizabeth"
Brock nodded and kissed his son's head.
Later Jake came home.
"He didn't give you much trouble did he?"
"Not at all"
"Good"
"Reba… I love you and I have to say you did an amazing job with our children."
