Epilogue
Reba shot straight up in bed screaming. She had a death grip on the bed sheets and the sheets were soaked with her cold sweet as she looked around and started to shake in terror. She tried to get out of bed only to panic when she found the blankets wrapped around her legs.
Then she jumped as the door to her bedroom flew open. She ripped herself out of the sheets, and ended up landing harshly on the floor she quickly got to her hands and knees and before the light could be turned on Reba ran into the bathroom: hiding in the tub as the tall figure turned on the light.
"Mrs. H?" she heard Van ask the empty room. She slowly opened the bathroom door to see Van standing in the doorway. He looked totally confused as he looked around for his mom. Once Reba was sure he was Van she darted out of the bathroom and into his arms in an instant. He almost fell over at the sudden appearance of his mother in law.
"Mrs. H what are you doing?" he asked wrapping his arms around her much smaller and shaking form.
"I... didn't know... he was... I'm so sorry..." she was sobbing, brokenly.
"What happened, I don't see anybody?" Van asked, looking around, nothing seemed out of place or strange. She kept sobbing and crying random words into his chest. He pulled back and held her shoulders, she kept blabbering random words all relating to kidnapping and something she should have seen.

"Mrs. H' he said a little louder, as he shook her gently and she looked to him finally snapping out of what ever it was she was thinking. "What is wrong, no one is here."
"It was horrible Van! They killed me just because he was an idiot, he had kidnapped me, and Van the worst part... I was engaged to... Buzzard!" she cried, Van laughed and pulled Reba back to him.
"Buzzard!" Van chuckled; Reba cried harder, as she held to his shoulders and tried to calm down.
"It's not funny!" she cried still shaking horribly. Van remembered the last time a nightmare had rattled her this much and then he had to beat a man before her dream could turn into realty. He stopped laughing knowing this time it was only a dream. She held her tighter as she was still shaking, and crying curses into his chest.
"Hey, it's fine. You're alright and you're here alive and well, ok." he said softly and she finally started to calm down a little. He picked her up as her legs started to fail and he sat her down on her vanity stool and went to get her some more bedding. She sat on the chair still shaking as she tried to shake the dream, Van changed her bedsheets, then went and grabbed her a new set of night cloths. It was just like last time she had a horrible dream. He was so sweet and she was glad that her daughter had found such a wonderful man. When Van had gotten everything she would need he helped her to stand and hugged her tight to his chest she smiled as she held him back.
"Hey Mrs. H, you don't have to worry about anything happening to you or the family. If I have to kill a hundred people just to be shot myself I'd do it a million times over if I knew for sure that you and everyone else in this family would be safe." Van whispered. Reba teared up again at this and held him tighter.
"You know I would never let you do that." she said matter of factly. Van chuckled.
"I know you would not want me to but I would." he said then they pulled apart and he looked into her eyes. "Now you take as long as a shower as you need I'll be downstairs on the couch if you need anything." he said then he kissed her forehead and walked out of her room. Leaving her to shower.
After the door latched shut Reba smiled to herself knowing that Van would do anything for her and the family, she then showered and when she was done she could not fall back to sleep so she silently crept down stairs to grab the oh so tempting pint of chocolate-chip cookie dough ice-cream, forgetting that Van was on the couch. She grabbed herself a bowl, a spoon and happily sat down at the table and ate the ice-cream she had served for herself. Van came in a minute later and grabbed some for himself.
"Hey you wanna put in a movie?" he asked her. She turned startled at first but upon seeing her son in law she relaxed, then agreed to the movie. Now they sat there eating ice-cream and popcorn as the movie played. Not to long after the movie started Reba had fallen asleep and was now resting her head on Van's shoulder as he looked to her and smiled. Then he shut the movie and TV down and carefully picked up the red head and brought her back to her room, before leaving to his own. In a few hours the nightmare would be forgotten and the red head would move on in her life surrounded by the crazy and very messed up family, they have all grown to love so much.
