I don't own Reba or any of the character in this story right now. They belong to the writers of the REBA tv show.
Reba Hart woke up with a pounding headache. She was wearing nothing and was covered by a satin sheet. She put a hand to her forehead. "Where am I? How did I get here?" She scanned the room quickly and found no one in the room with her, then she heard the sound of pulsating water coming from the bathroom shower. She panicked and pulled the sheet around her. Whoever was with her from last night was in the shower so she had time to try to find out what happened, then she noticed the ring on her left hand. Her hand flew up to her mouth in a gasp. She sprinted over to the dresser to find something that would make sense. What she found was a marriage license. She looked out the window of the hotel room. Yep, she was still in Las Vegas. She hoped that what happened in Vegas, stayed in Vegas.
This wasn't supposed to happen. Six months ago, she was just helping out a friend. Okay, it's hard to categorize Brock as just a friend. Brock and Barbra Jean got separated. Brock begged Reba to let him stay at her house temporarily while the two worked things out. When it looked like the separation wasn't so temporary, Brock suggested that he stay and help Reba out with the bills. He encouraged her to go back to college and finish her degree so she could become a teacher just like she always wanted to. The family jumped behind that idea. Van and Cheyenne offered to rent out their house and move back in to help Reba out to make things easier while she went back to school. Brock offered to remodel the basement into an apartment for Van, Cheyenne, and their two kids. He also offered to make the attic into a bedroom for Kyra so she'd have more privacy. Brock was staying in Van and Cheyenne's old bedroom. Reba was just getting out of a bad relationship with Jack Morgan. He'd tricked her into believing that his marriage to Cheryl was over. When she found out, she was furious and broke things off with him. Six months after the breakup, he wouldn't leave her alone.
Lori Ann suggested setting her up with a blind date so Jack could see that Reba was dating again and off limits to him. Reba agreed. She just wasn't expecting to be shocked when her date came to meet her. Reba opened her front door to find a man in a suit, holding a bouquet of red roses. Her hand flew up to her mouth and she felt the room start to spin. Reba fainted to the floor. Her eyes opened to find Brock, Lori Ann, Cheyenne, and Van around her. "Brock, I just had the strangest dream," Reba murmured. Reba's eyes opened wider when she saw the person standing right behind them. "Hello, darlin" he said softly. "I can't deal with this right now. I feel so tricked right now," Reba responded. "Barbra Jean, I need your help right now!" Barbra Jean came out from where she was hiding in the kitchen. "I'm here, Reba," Barbra Jean yelled. "Barbra Jean, I thought that you weren't coming over today," Brock said. "I had to find out what Lori Ann was hiding so I hid in the kitchen," Barbra Jean answered. "I have high blood pressure, you morons. I need help getting upstairs. You two can fight later in the privacy of your own home. My home is a battle-free zone, remember? Lori Ann, I will talk to you about this later. Mike, I can't believe this! You had your chance. You broke up with me on our wedding day. I'm not talking to you!" Reba shouted. Barbra Jean and Brock lifted Reba up and carried her up the stairs to her bedroom.
Mike followed. "I came here to talk to you and I'm going to. For Terry's sake, can we please just talk for a minute?" Mike said firmly. "Low blow, Holloway! Where was this attitude when we saw each other last? I stood right in front of you, giving you the right signals and you didn't say anything," Reba responded. "You were with Brock. I wasn't sure if things were really over between you two," Mike explained. "Brock has been married to the blonde for the last six years, you moron! Meet Brock's wife, Barbra Jean Hart," she fired back. "Okay, Miss McKinney, can we have a more private conversation?" he asked. Lori Ann popped her head in. "I've got the video. Is she ready to see it?" Lori Ann asked. Brock was still standing there. He wasn't going anywhere unless Reba asked him to. "What's on the tape?" Reba asked. "Reba, this is your life!" Lori Ann responded. "No, it's not. Reba, it's the story of us. Lori Ann made it for us," Mike interjected. "Praise, Jesus! Reba's got a man!" Barbra Jean exclaimed.
