Reba walked to her car, put her key in the ignition, then stopped. She sat there, not knowing what to do. What if Brock was going to choose Barbra Jean, could she really take that right now? Did she want to know? Yes. She did. She wanted to know how this was going to end. Reba started her car, and drove to Brock's dental office.
She got out of the car and walked in. She stood there at the door for a moment as she looked around the room. Brock was nowhere to be found. "Mrs. Hart?" The new office woman asked. "Are you here to see Dr. Hart?" Reba nodded, then the girl smiled, "Alright, I'll tell him you're here. You can wait over while he finishes up, okay?" she asked motioning to the other patients' seats. Reba took a seat and waited.
It took Brock a few minutes, but he finally finished up with whoever it was that he was working on, and came out. "Reba? What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk," She told him. The way she looked at him was telling him that it was important. She didn't have her normal serious facial expression, it was softer, more loving and concerned.
"Yeah, alright. I can take my lunch if I need to…"
"No, I'll be gone by then."
"Okay," he took her hand and led her into his office where they could be alone. "What is it?" he asked, a little worried. Brock sat down on the corner of his desk, and Reba stayed standing in front of him, but out of reach.
"What are you doing? Are you staying? Do you plan on going with Barbra Jean? I need to know."
"Reba—I…I don't know," he stammered.
"Brock, I love you, but I can't just wait around forever. If you are staying with me and our family I need to know. If your not I have to move on and find out how to be on my own," she pressed. She wasn't going to tell him about Barbra Jean just yet. Not until she knew where he really wanted to be.
"I want to stay. I know that this is bad, and if you are willing to work this out with me, then I want to stay with you and our family."
Reba looked into his eyes, and he looked right back into hers. Without taking her eyes from his she said, "Barbra Jean isn't pregnant." Brock double blinked, trying to comprehend what he was just told: the best news of his life.
"What?!" he said as he stood up, clearly very surprised.
"She paid me a little visit earlier this afternoon. She told me that she wasn't really pregnant and that she was sorry."
"Oh my God! This is the best news I've ever gotten!!" He picked Reba up and spun her around in his arms.
"Ah! She's not pregnant, I still am!" Reba said as he put her back down.
"Even better! Not only can we be together, but we have a reason never to give up again." He said wrapping his arms around her waist.
Reba was flattered that he was so overjoyed with the news, but was letting Brock back into her life really what she wanted right now? Knowing that he cheated, could she handle it all? Could she trust him again?
