"Her name is Reba Michelle Hart." Reba said and the Dr. smiled and wrote it down. "I'll speak to the police after I feed her and she goes back to sleep." Reba said and Dr. Fields nodded her head and left the room to inform the police. Reba kissed her baby's forehead and laughed. She had a head full of red hair, and bright blue eyes. "Hey little Red." Van said lovingly and kissed her forehead. Reba smiled and held her child closer. She couldn't wait to show Brock their little girl….TBC
Ch. 14: Final
It was five months to the day of the birth of their baby girl and things were as normal as could be in the Hart household….well…. almost.
"No! They are going to ride white ponies down the aisle in their outdoor ceremony, and then release a dove over a cliff after they say I do!" Barbra Jean said and Cheyenne countered "No, they are having the wedding in a church and Van is going to walk Mom down the aisle." Cheyenne countered and Reba stood in the kitchen holding the baby along with Brock, Kyra, Elizabeth, Jake and Van. "How much longer are you going to let them argue before stepping in Mrs. H?" Van asked though this mouthful of food and Reba made a disgusted face. She looked down at her baby girl. She had just fed her. She kissed her forehead and handed her to Brock. "I'm going to go and put out the fire" Reba said and he nodded.
Reba walked into the living room and whistled as loud as she could. Cheyenne and Barbra Jean stopped arguing and turned to look at her shocked. "Now, there's a sleeping baby in there and the first one who wakes her up is going to have a very angry mama to deal with. Now, that being said, Barbra Jean, I am not riding a horse in a wedding dress, and Brock couldn't ride one if his life depended on it. Second, this is Houston, it's always hot. I am NOT having this wedding outside. Third, Once again, this is HOUSTON there are no cliffs to release a dove over, and I don't want to do it anyways! Now, this wedding will be planned the way I want it planned, and I told Cheyenne how that was going to be done. So Barbra Jean, if you really want to plan a wedding, I suggest you go back to your beanie babies and give them another wedding!" Barbra Jean looked insulted and stomped away and out the door. "That was easier than I thought it would be." Reba said as she watched her go and Cheyenne shook her head at her mother. "come on Mom, that was mean." Cheyenne said and Reba shrugged her shoulders. "it was either be mean or allow her to plan the wedding. Which, is a week away. Barbra Jean has been trying to change the plans since we started planning. I got tired of it." Reba explained and Cheyenne nodded. "Okay, well everything seems to be in order." Cheyenne said and Reba smiled. Her life was finally back on the right track.
Wedding Day
The day had finally arrived and Reba was on pins and needles. Much to her dismay, Van and Cheyenne didn't allow Brock to stay in the house. Despite his protests about helping to take care of the baby. Instead he stayed over at Van and Cheyenne's house while Cheyenne stayed there to help get her mom ready, of course Barbra Jean was there too.
"Cheyenne, I want to help do her makeup!" Barbra Jean whined and Cheyenne turned to face her. "Why don't you go get Elizabeth dressed and do her hair for me? She seems to like it better when you do it anyways. I promise, when it's time to put the dress on you can come help." Cheyenne said and as Barbra Jean left the room Kyra entered it. "I could really write a book you know. Parents married for twenty years, they divorce when my dad leaves her for his pregnant hygienist, at the same time my sister is pregnant and marrys her boyfriend. Mom gets remarried to a man who beats her, has an affair with Dad making her the other woman to the other woman and him the other man. Dad leaves hygienist to be with my mom again after he gets her pregnant, She goes under protection from her crazy husband and gets a court ordered divorce from him. Crazy ex-husband kidnaps my mom, by way of her new best friend who happened to be his accomplice, but turns against him at the last minute. Mom puts a bullet in the guy's head while her bullet hits his heart. She dies of a gunshot wound, mom goes into labor, five months later my parents remarry…..yep…sounds like a good soap opera….or a country song…" Reba turned to Kyra and glared at her. "this is supposed to be a happy day, and you ruin by being unpleasant."
"Mom, I'm only kidding. I love you and I'm happy for you." Kyra went over and picked her baby sister up out of the pin they had her in. "I just came to get her and dress her for you. Cheyenne won't screw up your hair or makeup. I also promise to try and keep Barbra Jean at bay until you're ready for her. She is taking her maid of honor duties waaaayy too seriously." Kyra said and Reba smiled. "Mom, if you don't hold still I'm going to mess up." Cheyenne said and Reba held still and let Cheyenne finish applying her fake eye lashes. Reba gasped when Cheyenne was done. She had a very light blue eyes shadow on to make her blue eyes pop, along with the fake lashes. Her lip gloss was a peach color, and over all her makeup looked very elegant. Her hair was down and in loose curls. "Looks like it's time to get you dressed." Cheyenne said and called Barbra Jean into the room. They helped her into her dress and Reba stood back to look in the mirror and gasped. The gown was figure hugging with a scoop neck , showing off a hint of cleavage and a low back. It went straight to the floor and had lace patterns on it with a light blue sash around her waist. "Well, we have the something blue, you're wearing Grandma's earrings as something old, now all we need is new and borrowed!" Cheyenne said and Reba smiled. "Well, I don't know about borrowed, but little red is new." Reba said and they all laughed. Barbra Jean pulled out a surprisingly elegant diamond necklace from behind her back and handed it to Reba. "Something borrowed" she said and Reba hugged her. "thanks, now you two get dressed right quick. Kyra is dressed already, and then we will be ready to go. The Brides maids and the flower girl all had simple, yet elegant light blue dresses on to match Reba's sash.
An hour later found them at the church, and ready to walk down the aisle. Brock was standing up front waiting on her with Jake by his side as his best man. Reverend Parks stood waiting on the ceremony to begin. Everyone they loved and cared about was in attendance. Even Dolly Majors was there. The music started and Henry started down the aisle as the ring bearer, followed by Elizabeth as the flower girl, then came Kyra, carrying her baby sister, then Cheyenne, then Barbra Jean.
The music changed and Reba clutched Van's arm. Everyone rose, and they slowly started walking down the aisle. Everyone was watching, yet the only pair of eyes that Reba noticed were the one's locked on hers. She smiled at Brock and before she knew it she was beside him. The ceremony became a blur until it came time for their vows and Reverend Parks announced the two had written their own vows. Brock started.
"I know the first time we did this I didn't hold up my end of the bargain, but I'm a changed man, and I promise that this time will be different. I won't be a monkey's butt and shut you out when all you want to do is spend time with me. I learned my lesson when I thought I lost you, when your life was endangered, and I realized that I really don't know how I would ever live without you. You're the mother of my children and the lover of my soul. This time I'm never letting you go. I love you Reba Nell, I love everything from your smile, to your temper, even your violent tendencies, I love all of you, and I thank you for giving me another chance." He finished and smiled.
Reba had tears in her eyes as she began. "Yeah, you done me wrong, but I forgave ya. I tried to replace you and I couldn't. You never gave my heart back when you left, and even through everything that's happened over the past several years I wouldn't change a thing, because it got us exactly where we are today, reunited and with a new baby. I love everything about you as well, even your fake tan. When I was lost, and hurt, and needed protection, you let me fall into you, so you could hold me up, and I thank you, for everything you've done. I love you Brock Enroll Hart."
Everyone seemed to be crying at that point. Even Kyra. The two exchanged rings and then to everyone's delight Reverend Parks said "I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." Reba smiled up and Brock and he leaned down and kissed her softly. Everyone cheered and before they could head out to the reception, Van insisted on a picture to document the moment. So Reverend Parks kindly stepped aside and the family gathered around the alter. Reba and Brock stood in the center and Kyra handed Reba the baby. They all looked up into the camera and smiled. The flash went off and the memory became set in stone. As they headed for the reception Reba watched her family and looked down at her sleeping daughter then up to her Husband. She kissed his mouth gently and whispered "everything's finally alright again. We're a family, the most dysfunctional in Houston no doubt, but a family never the less." And they were and remained.
