Kiss Goodnight
This is based off of the episode when Brock tells Reba and Barbra Jean about him going to see a therapist about depression. Oneshot maybe?
Reba and Brock are in Reba's kitchen talking about Brock's depression.
"Brock you have a chemical imbalance. I don't know the medical terminology for it but your brain's all wako." She explained to Brock to try and get him to stay on anti-depressants after Barbra Jean says she wants him to stop them.
"And how would know Reba? How do you know so much about them?" He questions but was cut off shortly by Reba. "Because I've been on 'em!" She says and walks over behind the counter.
"What? When?" He asks her frantically. She couldn't look at him as she spoke. "Yeah. Right after we broke up, for about 6 months." She turned, ashamed that she had let the walls she built up around herself come down enough to let him through, just like they always did.
"Why didn't you tell me Reba?" He asks. And just like that, her walls shot straight up and her anger flared. She turned to face him. "Well gee Brock, I just though we weren't all that close!"
She closes her eyes and leaned against the counter. He sees a tear slowly escape from the corner of her eye and begin to slide down her cheek before she quickly wipes it away. "Reba I…I don't know what to say." He says as he walks over to her and wraps her in a hug. "I'm sorry."
She is tense at first and reluctant, but then she relaxes a little and just melts into his embrace. She wraps her arms around his waist to hold herself up. She wishes she could stay right there forever. But then reality comes rushing back to her in a blur. She pulls away from him. He lets her move away, to a point. They stand there for a few seconds, her hands down at her sides, his on her shoulders holding on. She lets her guard down for just a minute and almost pulls him back into a hug. But she regains her strength quickly and walks back a few steps to the door.
"Go on home Brock. Go home." She says as she opens the door.
"Reba, please can we talk about this?" He sees the pain flash in her eyes for only a second and then disappear. He decides to go home and let her be for the rest of the night and walks over to the door. He turns to face her.
"Goodnight Reba. I'll talk to you tomorrow?" He says, almost pleading.
"We'll see. Goodnight Brock." She steps forward with her hand on the door, ready to close it after him. He turned back to her and quickly kissed her on the cheek. He sees something appear in her eyes. It looked like, happiness? Though she didn't show it on the outside, he could tell. He knows her too well for her to hide it from him.
"Goodnight Reba." He walks out the door as she closes it. He starts down her driveway and down the street toward his house.
Reba stands in her kitchen for minute after he leaves. 'Did he just kiss me?' She thought. She put her hand to her face, trying to hold in the warmth of his lips on her cheek. She turns and walks through the living room, upstairs, and into her bedroom. She closes her bedroom door behind her, and slowly makes her way to the bed and lays down.
"He just kissed me. Oh Brock, why did you have to leave? I miss you so much. I love you." She says softly,
Brock walks into his house, and goes upstairs to the bedroom he shares with Barbra Jean. He opens the door, half-expecting to find her sleeping, but the room was. 'She must still be out with her friends.' He thought. He walks over to the window and looks over at his ex-wife's house. What used to be their house. "I just kissed. Oh God I miss her so much." He directs his next statement toward her house, like she would be able to hear. "I love you."
