Much to Jake's surprise the doctor did nothing; he remained frozen with his pants around his ankles just staring. The woman turned her head; it was Audrey one of the nurses that would roam the halls once in a while. Despite being a good nurse Audrey's reputation was more known for her promiscuous behavior. Because of her reputation Jake wasn't the least bit surprised by the situation what made him sick was the thought of Collette. The way she lit up when she spoke of her husband burned into his brain, the worry that was etched on her pretty face when she couldn't find her man would never leave his memory. What was he supposed to say after he had seen the love of her life in the act?

"Jake! Get the fuck out!" Audrey screamed

Jake remained in his spot unmoved by Audrey's scream

"You should leave." Dr. Burgundy said quietly

"You have to go make your speech." Jake said calmly this time with venom in his words he turned to leave only to say over his shoulder "Oh and you wife is looking for you."

The teenager walked slowly down the hall as his heart sank lower and lower realizing he would have to face Collette any moment. In a matter of time Jake reached the table of talkative women.

"I just think it's perfect how well you love your family." Collette said smiling to Reba

"Oh you are so sweet thank you." Reba said smiling back

"I mean many in this world can be so cruel to the unconventional family."

"Oh yes its like people walk with blinders on."

"How well you raised Jake proves how well a family can thrive in any circumstance."

"It is so refreshing to hear someone say that." Barbra Jean piped in "I mean Reba is a great mother."

"Thanks but you should see how well Barbra Jean is at mothering I have never seen someone so loving." Reba said blushing slightly

"I have no doubt of that. I just wish everyone could see." Collette said whole heatedly "I have many gay friends that want to be parents but they feel they would maybe denied that because many feel they would not be fit."

"Uh…come again?" Reba said her face falling slightly

"You and Barbra Jean prove so many wrong seeing how well you both raised Jake." Collette said obviously building excitement from her family forward statements

"Well I couldn't really say that." Reba said nervously

"Oh but I must. Two women caring for four children...I apologize I guess six counting the husband and baby to your eldest. That is so inspiring. You and Barbra Jean's love for one another and your family is so inspiring." Collette exclaimed patting Reba and Barbra Jean on the hand "I can not wait to tell my friends back in Lyon about you two. You two give hope back to this world."

"Oh we aren't.." Reba began explain only to be interrupted by Barbra Jean

"Jake! There you are! Everything all right? You disappeared so quickly." Barbra Jean half yelped wanting to change the subject

"Yeah everything is cool." Jake said flatly as he took his seat

"You found him?" Collette said with relief

"Yeah he will be out in a sec." Jake said staring down at his food, he couldn't bare to look into those glittering blue eyes and know what betrayal was occurring in her life

"I hope he gets to his speech soon I'm getting tired. That and I have a date with Sitcom. We love our soaps." Gloria said with a bit of a huff

Jake only smiled slightly as the rest of the women shared a laugh. It was obvious the table noticed Jake's change in attitude but no one mentioned anything about it. The rest of the night went by rather quickly. Jake and Mike cleaned up in record time feeling the sudden and intense tension.

"What happened?" Reba asked once the two entered their home

'What?" Jake asked sheepishly still somewhat lost in his mind

"What do you mean "what?" We were having such a great time, you disappear to look for the doctor then you were quiet as the dead when you get back."

"Nothing happened."

"Well pardon my French but that's buffalo droppings."

"Mom it's not a big deal."

"Yes it is! I'm tired of the secrets Jake! We were just starting to get along and I feel like I was starting to get to know you. Lets not ruin that."

"I'm sorry mom. I just saw something I shouldn't have." Jake said more to himself as he sat on the couch

"What did you see?" Reba asked as she sat next to her son staring at him with wide eyes

"I don't want to talk about it."

"What did I just say about secrets in our family?"

"Oh look who's talking! I just found out all this time I had two gay moms!" Jake retorted with a smile

"Stop it!" Reba quipped back smacking Jake on the arm "Quit being a butt."

"Ow! Ok fine but you can't tell anyone! Its not our place to but in not to mention my job and entire career is on the line."

"Ok." Reba exclaimed a little to excited

""I was looking for the doctor and found him in one of the empty dorm rooms having sex with one of the nurses."

"No!"

"Yeah."

"Which nurse?"

"Why does that matter?"

"I don't know….I'm just saying it may some importance."

"I'm not telling you gossip so you can sound interesting on the phone to Lori Ann."

"She had a guy leave the priesthood for her…for the third time!"

"Mom!"

"Ok fine."

"But it was Audrey our local slut."

"Thank you my wonderful son!" Reba said pulling Jake into a crushing embrace

"Can't breathe!"

"Sorry. But that's so tough Collette seemed so sweet."

"I know that is what makes it so hard."

"Are you going to tell her?"

"I don't know."

"Did he tell you not to tell?"

"No he really didn't say anything."

"Well somebody should tell her."

"Ok you can."

"Why me?"

"Because you just said she needs the truth."

"Well she does."

"Yes she does but I don't know how that should happen. Plus I think you are a little quick to jump the gun."

"Why is that?"

"Well you are in a vulnerable state. I mean you did just come out tonight."

"You butt!" Reba screamed as she whacked her youngest with her purse as Jake laughed loudly
