Reba had decided to let Scarlett cool down before she went and tried to talk to her, so she just went and cleaned that's what Reba did when she worried she would just clean, she was still crying she couldn't control it and Reba never cried like that.
"hey mom" Kyra said as she walked in the door
Reba quickly wiped her eyes before Kyra could see she had been crying "hi honey" she carried on cleaning
Kyra sensed there was something wrong by the way Reba was scrubbing cake tray, she was scrubbing it so hard that the pattern was coming off
"mom are you ok?" Kyra asked looking concerned
"uh huh yeah I'm good" Reba replied not looking up at Kyra and still scrubbing the tray
"your a terrible liar you know" Kyra said as she took the baking tray out of Reba's hand "what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, I'm fine"
Kyra snickered "yeah that's why your eyes are all red and blotchy and you've done that thing with your hair, you know the way you flock it over one one side"
Reba gave a sad smile "why are you kids so darn smart?"
Kyra smiled "learned from the best" she said rubbing Reba's arm
"I don't think Scarlett thinks I'm the best at the precise moment" Reba sighed
"why what happened?" Kyra sat wapiti and waited for Reba to explain
Reba stayed standing at the counter "last night she dreamt that I left her, so I promised her that I would never leave her and would always be here for her and if I did leave I would take her with me"
Kyra looked confused "so what's the problem?"
"the problem is Kyra, that I won't always he here for her"
Kyra still didn't understand "what do you mean?"
Reba was getting frustrated "I mean that one day won't be here"
it then clicked in Kyra's head "ohhhhhh. So why I have you been crying?"
Reba rolled her eyes "I told that I lied to her about always being here for her, and she goth mad and told me I was mean and that she hated me and never wanted to talk to me again" Reba cried again
Kyra got up and gave her mom hug "oh mom shes just mad she will calm down, did you explain to her what you meant by that?"
Reba shook her head "she ran off crying"
"ah"
" yeah ah" Reba said sarcastically, "I love that little girl so much Kyra, I love all you kids"
"yeah but you love her a little bit more, who wouldn't she's a great kid" Kyra smiled
"yeah she is, she's funny, she's smart, she's beautiful, she brings out the kid in me" Reba laughed sadly " sometimes I wish was older, she wouldn't need me as much and she would be prepared for this big old world"
"mom I have never seen you like this before"
Reba laughed "I've never seen me like this before" she let out a little sigh " she's brought out my weak side, Kyra what I do to make that little girl not hate me?"
"wait a minute, your asking me what to do" Kyra chuckled "wow she really has brought out tour weak side, go and talk to her"
"how do I tell my 6 year old daughter, that I may not live to see grow up into a woman?" Reba put her head in hands
"jeez mom you make it sounds like your dyeing"
"well I will by the time she gets to 30"
Kyra rolled her eyes "well then maybe you need to talk to her about life"
Reba smiled "thank you, but I'll fog talk to her later, she's probably still mad about me" she pulled the I'm in trouble face "so enough about that, how are you?"
Kyra smiled "yeah I'm doing great"
"really?"
Kyra rolled her eyes again "yeah" she had a big grin on her face, which made Reba raise her eyebrows "why are you so happy, the last time I saw that grin was when you found out you were preg... Oh"
Kyra nodded " yeah"
" oh Kyra! I'm so happy for you, so When did you find out and how do you feel?" Reba soon had that smile back on her face, she was happy for Kyra after losing Angel she kind of changed
"well I found out 3 months ago?"
Reba's jaw dropped "3 months and you didn't tell me!"
"I'm sorry but I wanted to see if everything was ok with and it is, and I feel great, Josh is so happy he's like a big kid"Kyra chuckled
"awwwww my little girl is gonna be a mommy" Reba did that bottom lip thing
"well technically I am already a mommy, but I see what you mean"
"I can't to tell Scarlett!" Reba quickly got up and then realised "maybe later"
Kyra placed her hand on Reba's " she'll come round eventually, she loves you she won't stay mad forever" she smiled
"thanks honey, I love you" she placed her hand on Kyra's stomach "and I love you to"
"we love you to grandma" she gave Reba a hug
