"The baby's going to be a boy!" Cheyenne declared as she entered the house, coming home from her doctor's appointment for her and Van's second child.

"Oh, honey, that's great!" Reba replied, turning from where she was loading the dishwasher.

Cheyenne arched an eyebrow, squinting at her mother. "You don't look like you think it's great." Cheyenne decided.

Reba wiped her hands on a dishtowel, searching for words as Cheyenne took a seat at the bar. "Van is a great father, Cheyenne, and I know that. It's just… boys are so different from girls. Do you think that he'll be okay with a son?"

Cheyenne laughed. "Mom, Van is going to be fine. Believe me; he knows all about those tough men and little boys who grow up and turn into dads. At which point they become little babies again, in case you haven't noticed."

Reba grinned. "Alright, if you say so."

"Mom, I know so."


Another idea that I've had hanging around for awhile. My first venture into the Reba category, so feedback would be great. Thanks, everybody! Each of these chapters is going to be inspired by a different part of the song, since you're actually not supposed to post song lyrics.:)
