Reba awoke the next morning with a strong arm around her waist. Brock was still sleeping. Typical Brock. She had to get out of bed before any of the kids got home, what would they think if they found their divorced parents in bed together? She got up, took a shower, and got dressed. As she got down the stairs a ringing noise was coming from her purse. It was her cell phone ringing.
On the Phone:
"Hello?"
answered Reba.
"Honey,
where are you? you've been out visiting your kids for 2 weeks now,
your not leavin me are ya?"
"um
who's this?" answered reba a little confused.
"John,
your fiancee, the person you're marryin in a couple of weeks, do you
not remember me?"
"
OH JOHN, hey what's up?" said Reba a little confused.
"
just wonderin when the love of my life is coming back."
"
ha ha, about that, John, I need to talk to you about something."
"
what's up?"
"well
Brock and I, we're gettin back together." she said, her voice
getting lower and lower as she said each word.
"Excuse
me?"
"
I know, John, but it's just brock and I we love each other, and we-"
"
Reba, we're supposed to be gettin married in 3 weeks, and you're
tellin me you're going back to some guy that ruined your life 3 years
ago?"
"
I love him."
"
2 weeks ago, you loved me, what were you just lying?"
"
no, It's just tha-"
"
you know what Reba? SAVE IT! I don't care if you slept with this guy,
I hope he hurts you again, and when he does don't you dare coming
running back to me!." yelled John
"I
WOULDN"T WANT TO!" screamed Reba as she hung up on him.
End Call.
Brock heard yelling from downstairs, so he put on his bathrobe and walked down the stairs.
"Honey,
what's going on? I heard yelling and screaming, are you ok?"
asked Brock concerned.
"Yes,
everything's fine."
"No,
everything's not, I know you Reba, too well and you're not okay."
"Nothing,
it's just I got a phone call."
"From
who?"
"My
fiancee brock."
"Oh
jacob?" said brock sarcastically.
"His
name's John."
"Oh
same difference, what did he want?"
"Gee
I don't know, maybe he wanted to know where his soon to be wife was."
"soon
to be wife?"
"Yeah..."
"you're
not going through with this, right Reba? You're staying this time
right?"
"Yes...No...I
wan't too...oh jeez Brock, I don't know. What's going to happen if I
stay here?"
"We'll
be together, like old times."
"And
what if history repeats itself?"
"It
won't. I promise you. I swear to you it won't"
he took her by the hands and pulled her into a hug.
A couple of days passed. The kids had found about their parent's getting together. They were all so happy for them. They got their family back and that was all that was important to them. But the what the kids and Brock didn't know was Reba was not feeling too well the past couple of the days.
"BROCK!!"
reba yelled for him to come into the kitchen.
"Oh
gosh, what Reba? What is it?"
"These
are not the apples I asked for!"
"what?"
"I
said I wanted green apples!"
"Does
it really make a difference honey? Tell you what, you could punish me if you
want. The kids aren't home." he said with a sly smile and
putting his arms around her waist.
Reba moved his hands away from her.
"Get
off me."
"Reba,
what's wrong you've been moody all week?"
"I
don't know, Brock, I don't know." she bursted out tears.
"Honey,
what's really wrong?"
"Brock,
I'm late."
not fully understanding what she had said. "Oh honey it's okay, I'll take you now, if you wan't. Where are we off too?"
"No you mo-ron. I think I'm pregnant."
Brock was putting on his jacket when, his ears shot up, and he turned around, "Come again?"
"I
think I maybe pregnant."
"What?
How did this happen?"
"Oh
gee, what did we do a couple of nights ago, and just last night?"
"Oh."
"Yeah,
oh."
"So
do you know for sure?"
"No,
I go in for tests at the doctor's tomorrow."
"Do
you want me to come with you?"
"Yeah
I'd like that." she leaned in to kiss him and they kissed.
