Chap 14
Brock sat in the chair next to the hospital bed that Reba was laying on. They got back to Houston at midnight and Reba had had episodes where she would cover hear ears and scream for them to shut up. Brock had no idea what was going on but he prayed Reba would pull through.
The Doctor had told him something about a copping mechanism that was triggered inside of Reba that caused her to hallucinate the conflicting thoughts. From what Brock heard in the car ride it Van as the good guy and some woman named Sally for the bad guy. He hoped it was just temporary and would leave as she came to terms with the fact that she was safe now. What really bothered Brock was the fact that he was in the hotel the night Jack went all the way, the one thing he was so desperately trying to stop from happening happened not two doors down from him in thy blasted hotel. How had he not seen, why was he so dumb? He shook the thoughts from him mind and held to Reba's hand tighter and she slept on the bed. She was safe now and Brock would die a million times over to make sure it stayed that way.
She stirred in her sleep and mumbled something about being safe now. Brock looked to her as she shot straight up in the bed and jerked her hand away from him. He notice tears fill her eyes the second before she curled into the fetal position and started begging for him not to hurt her. Brock jumped into action. He gently placed his hand on her shoulder and tried to get her attention.
"Reba, its me." he said softly. "Jack is gone... I'm Brock you're safe." he said soothingly. The red head slowly lifted her eyes to look at him. Then in a blink of an eye she had her arms wrapped around Brock's neck, and was crying into his shoulder. Brock held her tight as she cried. Nightmares would something he'd have to look out for. But for now he held her to him as she cried herself back to sleep. He was about to leave her be and call the kids but her soft voice stopped him.
"Don't go... If you go he'll come back..." Reba whispered as she fought to stay awake till Brock came back. Brock turned back to her and saw she would fight sleep if he didn't stay. He slowly walked back and crawled into the bed next to her. She turned and curled herself to him with her face buried in his chest, as he wrapped his arms around her. She knew she was safe as she heard the steady beat of his heart beneath her ear. She glanced to the side and saw Van and Sally smile and wave goodbye. They were no longer needed here; Reba nodded her head saying 'thank you' and 'goodbye' to the figments as they faded. Not long after Reba was lulled to sleep by the breathing and beating heart of the man she loved.
This fanfic is based somewhere around 'core focus' I think that's the name of the episode. It's weather that or 'accidental role model' the one where Brock says he made a mistake then BJ kicked him out. If anyone knows the name of the episode that'd be great cuz now it's gonna bother me forever. WAIT isn't core focus the one where BJ and Brock are talking about Reba in their marriage counseling? If it is then it could be around anyone of them.
Any way if I'm getting my episodes completely mess up can some one please beat me over the head with the exclamation mark till I get it right :D
