Home Again Chapter 12: When Your Heart Stops Beating, a reba fanfic

Brock thought that the words presented before him would cause more shock, but they didn't. Deep down, he knew that he was spending the rest of forever with Reba. Just by looking her in the eye, he could see his future. He knew that never again would she leave his side. He knew he would never let anything so stunning, so breathtaking, and so astonishing ever leave again. Trough the sadness and the madness to come, he would never let her go again.

Though their situation now would be tricky to get out of, he would give this relationship everything he had.

"I-," Brock started, but just as he was going to tell her that he would never hurt here ever again, that he loved her with every inch of his body, that he would spend the rest of his life loving and protecting her, Jack walked into the room. That wasn't going to stop him at this point, "There is no doubt that I'm the one taking you home."

Reba smiled, Brock smiled, and Jack stood there with a confused look on his face. All he could think was that he walked into the conversation at the wrong time. "What now?" He asked jokingly, unaware how serious Brock had been.

Reba looked to Jack and gave him the most unbelievable, almost impossible news of, "I love Brock."

Jack didn't look hurt, he just looked confused. "What?" He asked slightly astonished.

"Jack, I can't go back home with you. I love Brock," she said gripping Brock's hand for support. Brock squeezed back, his way of saying 'I love you too'.

"Are you joking?" he asked. He just stood there for a second looking at her. "Reba, I was there. I watched you break down over this man, and now you are going back to him? After we got married? You were pregnant. And now you are just going to drop everything for him?"

No one said anything. They just waited there in silence. "Fine," Jack said, "I'm leaving."

"Jack," Reba said, stopping him. He turned around to face her, "I'm so sorry…"

"Save it," Jack told her coldly. Reba lied there starring at the door after he left. Brock squeezed her hand again, and she snapped back to reality.

"What about 'breaking down'?" Brock asked a little concerned. Reba had always been a strong woman, and it took a lot to make her do something drastic like a break down.

"Yeah," Reba said looking down. Being as tough as she normally was she was ashamed she felt that way, "I went through a pretty hard time for a while."

"Why? What happened?" Brock pressed for more information.

"You happened Brock!" She said a little defensively. "Do you think that I wanted to leave?" She looked down with a tear forming behind her eye.

"Well, baby, I'm here now. You can tell me anything. You know that right?"

"Yeah, I know," she took a deep breath in, "I met Jack shortly after we moved. I was fine for a while, and we started to see each other in the beginning," her breath hitched as she continued to tell the story, "But about two months into out relationship the thought you leaving started to hit me hard. Jack was the one that got me through it."

"Oh," he feeling sorry for her, "Baby, I never meant to hurt you. You know that," he rubbed the top of her hand.

"Mhmm, I know," she said, whipping a tear away from her face.

"I love you, and I will never hurt you again. Do you understand me? Never."

Reba smiled at him and nodded. Brock leaded forward and kissed the top of her head. "I love you best," He told her teasingly.

"I love you the mostest," she responded jokingly.

Turn it up, I never wanna go home
I only wanna be part of your breakdown
She got caught by the four on the floor
I picked her up and she'll never get let down
And now I can't stop thinking about it
All you people at the top, don't know nothing about it
We don't give a fuck what the price is
So just leave us to our own devices and we'll leave you alone

She says it all without a thought in her head
She says it all as she's pressed up against me
A little something just to take off the edge
A little more and I'll fall off the planet entirely

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark, where there's no-one listening
In the times when we both get carried away

When we both get carried away

I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark, When there's no-one listening
In the times when we both get carried away
When we both get carried away
When we both get carried away
(I'll be there when your heart stops beating)
When we both get carried away
(In the dark when there's no one listening)
When we both get carried away..
