Chapter 4:

"Ya almost ready honey?"

"Do I have to?"

"Yes Reba, now come on were gonna be late!"

I stepped out in a blue just-above-the-knee strappless dress. It was tight. There was no hidin my pregnancy to anyone who didnt know. Narvel set up some sort of dinner with a bunch of different singers. I'm very uncomfortable with people I dont know, they better be country stars or he's never gonna hear the end of it. I almost fell down the stairs.

"Dammit Narvel! I hate these shoes"

"You look gorgeous honey"

"Is it gonna be gorgeous when I fall down the damn stairs?!" His smile faded. "I'm sorry"

"It's fine, mom warned me about the 'mood swings of pregnancy'"

I glared at him. "Can we just go."

There was a limo waiting out front. We normally didn't take a limo unless we really needed to, Narvel isn't one for the 'public eye' but he handles it because he loves me', thats his reasoning behind everything he does...because he loves me.

We pulled in to the hotel parking lot and there were cameras EVERYWHERE. Shelby is definitley going to be in the tabloids tomorrow.

I blew my bangs out of my face. "I hope this doesn't last long. My ankles are swollen, my back hurts, Shelby is kickin my stomach like a punching bag, and I feel like throwin up." I sighed and looped my arm around Narvels and he led me in.

"SURPRISE!" A bunch of people shouted at the same time.

"Wha- What is this?" I huge smile was spread across my face

"It's your baby shower silly!" It was my sister, Alice.

"ALICE!" I hugged her tight. "Did you plan all of this?!"

"No, actually it was your husbands idea, he's a keeper" she winked

I just turned to Narvel and smiled.

"Well, thats the last of the gifts" Aice said with a sigh

"Thank God!" They all looked at me. "Did I say that out loud? Haha..."

"What she means is thank you, but her ankles are swollen, her back hurts, and the baby is kickin her stomach like a puching bag, annnnnnnnd she feels like throwin up" He smirked at me

"What'd ya do, take notes?" Everyone laughed

I said my "thank yous" and "goodbyes" and then left and walked out to the car.

"So, what if it's not a girl?"

"Well, then we'll have to take these clothes back, but I have a GUT feelin its a girl"

"It could be a boy" He looked a little upset

"Oh Narvel," I smiled "Of course it could be, but no matter what, we will love our little Shelby no matter what gender he/she is"

"You're right" He kissed my cheek and started the car.

We arrived home at about 10:30pm, and I was right. The whole night I was throwin up and cryin.

"Honey..Are you alright" Narvel placed his hand on my shoulder

"This is so hard on me Narvel..." He sighed, and sat beside me

"You're strong honey, you're Reba McEntire. Reba McEntire Blackstock"

I smiled and laid on his shoulder.

"Can you believe this" He wiped tears off my cheek

"Believe what?"

"That were married and havin a child together"

"Of course I can, When I saw you I felt somethin special"

"I didn't feel anything until I kissed you on the bus"

"Ha, wasn't that a fun night."

"I really don't even know what got into me, I think with Charlie not lovin me like a husband should, and us bein so close I just-" He kissed me

"It doesn't matter, you're mine now, thats what matters" I smiled and kissed him back

He carried me up the stairs, and I knew what he wanted, but I was so tired. He laid me down and kissed me and I kissed back but in a lazy kind of way. He rolled off of me but he held me tight.

I love how he doesnt get mad when I 'reject' him. It's not like I didn't want to, but this pregnancy is changing my moods all the time and tonight I was just tired. He kissed my cheek and he talked to me for a long time, I think he was still talking to me even after I fell asleep. The last thing I remember him saying was

"I love you Reba"
