Chapter 4

Brock got in his car, but he sat there, and banged his fists against the steering wheel, and yelled out.

"You fool you gave up everything for her you deserve this you fool"

He sat there for the longest time, but he finally got out of the car, and looked up at the house, but he couldn't bring himself to go inside. He knew where he had to go he needed to see Reba. He walked to her house, and walked up to the door, and knocked. He normally walked in, but today he didn't feel like he had the right to anymore. He knocked, and Jake answered, and smiled seeing his Dad.

"Hi Dad"

"Hey son where is your Mom"?

"Upstairs she isn't feeling well Dad we had pizza. Van, and Cheyenne took Elizabeth to the park. Kyra is out with a boy, I'm alone, I was watching my favourite TV show want to watch with me"?

'Jake I need to see your Mom you go watch your show, I will be down in a few minutes OK"

"OK but Mom might get angry if you go in when she is napping"

"I know Son I can handle it"

"OK I warned you"

Brock smiled, "Yes you did I love you Jake"

"Oh Dad" Jake ran over sitting on the couch, and started to watch his show again. Brock walked to the bottom of the stairs, and looked up, and almost ran out of the house, but he went upstairs, and walked to Reba's room, and knocked.

He heard her say, "Come in"

Brock opened the door, Reba sat up , and held the pillow in front of herself as Brock walked in shutting the door.

"Brock why are you here, I'm fine"?

"Your fine no you are not" Brock said making Reba jump off the bed, and run over to him grabbing his arm.

"Hush do you want the kids to hear you"?

"Jake is the only one home, and I'm sure he is use to us bickering it would not shock him"

"Brock go home"

"I can't go back there"

"What Brock go home, and work things out with Barbara Jean, I can't be your Marriage counselor at the moment. I have had it up to here with your problems with Barbara Jean. She doesn't understand you, she doesn't like golf, she isn't giving you loving at the moment, I have more important things on my mind. Brock I can't do this not today, I have to think of a way to tell my Children I have Breast cancer. They need me, and I don't know if I will be there for them so forgive me if I can't deal with your problems at the moment"

"She slept with him, she says once but I have a feeling this has been going on for months. I can't forgive her, I finally realize what I did to you Reba, I feel like a failure, I lost everything when I gave up everything for her, I wish I could go back in time, and just say no to her. I was such a fool, I was feeling sorry for myself, and I felt so alone. I knew you loved me, but I was jealous of my own kids, I needed you but you were so busy with the kids, we fought over it, and when Barbara Jean made me feel young again, I made love to her, but the minute I did I knew I would lose you. She got pregnant, and I knew you would never forgive me for that"

"I loved you Brock why did you do that to us"?

"I was a fool, I need to make it up to you, I want to help you through this"

"I don't need your pity, I can do this on my own"

"You don't have to please Reba I need to be here for you"

"Brock you couldn't stand being around us when we were sick, I will get real sick with the treatment, can handle that"?

"Yes I can Reba let me try"

Reba walked over she went into his arms as he wrapped his arms around her, and whispered.

"I will not let you down Reba, I promise you, I am here for you"

"Brock I'm sorry she hurt you, she is a fool"

Brock touched her cheek, and Reba moved toward his touch, and shut her eyes, as Brock kissed her ever so lightly on the lips.

They were kissing when Jake ran into the room, and stopped, and just stared as they pulled away from each other, not knowing what to say to him.
