If she pushed all of the conflict and sadness of the past seven years from her mind, Reba knew that they could have been what they currently were. She felt that they could have worked through their problems and saved their marriage. His arms were wrapped around her waist as she awoke to small kisses being placed along her jaw line. She smiled, turning her head to face him for a good morning kiss.

She used to take for granted all the mornings during their marriage when she was allowed to be in his arms when sleep left them, but since they were given a second chance, she would not let that happen again. She had already decided to remember every moment of their time together, and to allow herself to be weak sometimes. That was one of the many issues their marriage had so many years ago.

"I almost forgot how beautiful you look in the morning." He kissed down her neck, resting his hand upon her stomach, where the baby was healthily growing every minute.

"Don't be so mushy." She smiled, kissing his lips once before standing from the bed. She had to get some work done in the office so she decided to get an early start. She smiled to him as she made her way to the bathroom, removing her clothes and stepping into the shower.

The water washed over her body, sending a shiver down her spine. She washed her hair and was just beginning to scrub soap over her arms when she felt a fluttering in her stomach. Her heart jumped and a smile immediately appeared upon her face. After three previous pregnancies and having already been five months along in the current one, she knew it was her baby kicking. She placed her palm against her stomach as the fluttering happened once more.

"Brock…" She entered the bedroom after her shower, only a towel wrapped around her. He was still in bed, checking his e-mail on his cell phone when he looked her way, raising his eyebrows at her appearance. "The baby kicked." He smiled, rushing from the bed.

"Are you sure?" He placed his hands against her stomach, pushing a bit to try jogging the motion.

"Yes, I'm sure. It only happened twice though…" At the sound of her voice he felt the kick. "Okay, three times."

"This is great." He hugged her, kissing her cheek as he pulled away. His hands reached for her stomach once more, moving beneath the towel to feel her soft skin.

"I've been waiting for it. The other kids kicked a lot sooner."

"This one will be our terror." She laughed, moving to their closet to get dressed for the day.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because we're old now, and that's just how God's sense of humor works." He began walking to the bathroom, preparing for his own shower.

"Well, I hope not. Though, I suppose I wouldn't blame him for punishing us that way." She stepped into a pair of panties and hooked her bra when he re-appeared in the doorway of the bathroom.

"You think we haven't been punished already?"

"That's not for me to decide. I just wouldn't blame Him, that's all." She shrugged and stepped into a pair of jeans. He took her hands after she buttoned her pants, meeting her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Do you still feel guilty about our affair?"

"Of course I do. Don't you?" She picked up her shirt and pulled it over her head, flipping her wet, curly hair out of the clothing.

"I don't feel as bad as I used to. I thought we had just moved past that."

"We have, but that doesn't mean the guilt should stop altogether. We did a terrible thing, Brock." He leaned forward and kissed her, hoping to end their conversation. It was bound to end in an argument, and he didn't want to start their first morning together like that.

"I'm going to shower before work." He began to walk away, but she didn't let go of his hand.

"Please don't ever do that again."

"Do what, Babe?"

"Don't stop yourself from saying exactly what you want to say to me." He smiled, knowing he had been caught. He just didn't want any conflict since he was lucky enough to be given a second chance with her. "I don't want you to feel like you can't talk to me, even if it's something silly. I want to talk about everything this time."

"Okay, I promise." They smiled, happy to be on the same page in their relationship, for one of the only times in their lives. As she watched him walk into the bathroom to begin his day, her smiled didn't leave her face. She just knew they were going to be different.
