Disclaimer: I don't own Reba; this is out of my own randomly creative mind.

Summary: Reba starts having severe pain, and thinks it might be cancer, will she be okay, and can her family help her through it?

Chapter 1: Questions

Hi mom, Cheyenne said, yawning. "Hey Cheyenne", Reba answered .

"Did you have a good night mom"? "Yeah did you"?

"Well Lizzy wouldn't go to sleep because she was scared of something, so she slept with us for a while".

"I'm going to see if she's awake".

As Cheyenne went to get Elizabeth, Reba finished her cup of coffee.

"Morning Gamma", Elizabeth said. "Good Morning sweetheart", Reba said.

Reba bent over all of the sudden in pain.

"Mom, what's wrong"? Its okay, she said quietly. "What happened"?

"My chest has been hurting that's all, I'll be fine, don't worry about me".

"Do you want to go shopping later after class"? Sure honey, Reba answered a little shaky.

"Come here Lizzy", Reba said. She gave her a hug. " Grandma loves you". " Love you too Gamma".

"Mom are you sure you'll be okay"? "Yes you go ahead, love you", Reba finished

After Cheyenne left, Reba let out a sigh. This has been happening for a couple of months now, though she hasn't thought anything of it till today. Today was the most painful. She was scared, so she called her doctor and asked for an appointment. The soonest she could get in was two days from now. She took it. She was dizzy, so she went to bed.

When she went she woke up felt weak. Cheyenne had just come home from class. Mom? "I'm here in my room". She went into her own room, put Elizabeth down and ran to her mom.

"Mom, Are you okay"? Reba looked really pale. "Mom I am taking you to the hospital". Reba didn't object, she just let Cheyenne help her to her car.

She got her cell phone and told BJ to watch Lizzy. She waited five minutes till she saw her near the house, and then drove off.

"How long has this been going on"? "A couple of months I think, but it has never been this bad".

When they got to the hospital, she went to the front desk.

"My mom has a very serious pain in her chest area". "She took a nap and when she woke up she was very weak and pale and she could hardly walk".

"Okay, can you wait in that room, over there and I will get a doctor right away".

"It will be okay mom", she said as her mom started shaking.

"I'm scared Cheyenne", Reba said.

She held her mothers hand and slowly rubbed her mother's back in till she stopped shaking. That made Cheyenne really scared, because Reba never acted vulnerable at all. Her mother had always been so brave and strong.

"Hello ladies, will you follow me?", the doctor led them into a examining room.

"What happened", he asked?

Cheyenne explained what happened.

It's amazing how Cheyenne knows just when to take over for me, Reba thought to herself.

"I need to take some blood, that would tell me if there is something serious", the doctor finished.

"What could be wrong", Cheyenne asked?

Reba had feeling that it was cancer, but pushed the thought away, she didn't want to have to face that right now.

"Well it could be a cyst growing in her chest, it could be just a cell mass or it could be cancerous".

"And if it is?", Cheyenne asked.

"It depends on how big it is, most likely it is operable".

"If it is bigger, she will have to take chemo".

"There is a new technology that involves lasers, but personally I don't know much about it", he said.

"We will definitely explore all of the available treatment possibilities, if we have to come to that", the doctor finished.

When will we get the blood results back? The soonest will have to be the day after tomorrow."

"After we get the results, and if there is a cyst, she will have to have a cat scan".

"Will she have to stay in the hospital"?

"I would like to keep her overnight, just to be safe", the doctor said. Okay,

Cheyenne quietly said.
