Reba stood in the kitchen. It had been a few weeks now that she had been watching Katie and she was expecting Brock any minute to drop her off. She stared at her watch.

"That's odd. He's usually her by now." Another few minutes went by and still no Brock.

"Maybe I'll call him." She thought.

She heard the door open and was excited because she knew it had to be them.

"Mrs H. ?"

"In here Van."

Van walked through the house into the kitchen.

" Hey Mrs. H. Cheyenne sent me to pick up Elizabeth's blanket. She left it here the other night and Elizabeth refuses to go anywhere without that blanket."

"It's in the laundry room Van beside the linens. You haven't seen Brock by chance have you?"

"No I haven't Mrs. H but the last time I talked to him he wasn't feeling too well. I hate to run Mrs H but me and cheyenne are supposed to go to your moms today and Cheyenne refuses to be late to see her Grammy."

" Your going to see my mama?"

"I told you a week ago Mrs. H? Don't you remember? "

"No. But I must have been busy with Katie."

"You were." He walked into the laundry room and retrieved the blanket. He walked into the kitchen and gave Reba a hug and a kiss on the forehead."love you Mrs. H. We will call when we get there."

"You better. Be careful with my girls van."

"I will." He shouted as he went out the door.

Reba picked up the phone and called Brock. It rang several times but he never answered. She tried again to no avail. She grabbed her keys and her wallet and headed out the door.

………

She opened the door to Brock's apartment with her key.

"Brock?"

"Up here Reba!"

She walked up the steps and into Katie's room. The baby wasn't there, but she could here her in the next room. She looked in to see Brock with the baby on the bed. "Don't you work today? "

"I'm supposed to but my back is killing me. I had to bring Katie in here because I can't bend over the crib. I'm glad you came over."

" have you went to the dr? "

"I can't drive. "

She noticed the sweat on his head and winced as he began to gag while getting up to go to the bathroom.He closed the door but she could still hear him wretching.

"I have been sick to my stomach all morning. My lower back feels like someone is punching the shit out of it. And I haven't peed since 4 am."

"Let's go Brock. I'll take you to the hospital. "

" you will?"

"Yes Brock. Let me get Katie ready and we can go. 100 says you have a kidney stone. "

"A kidney stone? I've never had kidney stones in my life."

"Well there's a first for everything. Now get ready before I change my mind"

..………

It had took a while to get him signed in and finally in a room in the ER. It had took them even longer to get his X-rays.Reba sat there with Katie in her arms and waited for a dr to come in. Just as she was about to take a walk to the vending machine a tall man with grey hair walked in and pulled brocks chart.

"Mr Hart?"

"That's me doc."

"Well Mr Hart. Seems your wife is correct. You do have a kidney stone. It seems to just be 3mm so you should pass it in a day or so. Now we gave you some IM zofran to settle your stomach and some Morphine for pain. I'm writing you some Narcos for at home pain treatment. Make sure to use a strainer when you pee and bring the stone to the urologist I set you up with next week. "

"That's it doc? "

"Yes. That's it. There's nothing we can do but wait for the stone to pass."

"I hope these pain meds kick in soon. I'm dying doc." The dr laughed.

"Well mr Hart what you are experiencing is as close to labor as a man gets, although it's 10x worse." Brock looked to Reba.

"Honey I am so sorry." Reba held Katie in her arms and smiled at the child.

"Katie,looks like daddy finally understands what pain a woman goes through for 20 minutes of fun."

"It's not funny Reba."

"I know Brock. You can stay with me until you pass it. It's not like you could take care of you and Katie at the same time." The dr looked confused.

"So you two aren't married?" The dr asked.

" Divorced." The dr looked at the baby." He cheated with his dental hygienist. "

"And the child?"

"Product of a one night stand after him and wifey number 2 divorced."

"And your still this close? Damn. Me and my first wife can't be in the same room without killing one another."

"Well. The second wife is now my best friend."

"Not funny you two. Way to kick a man while he's down."

"You'll be fine ya big baby. Dr. Can we go now?"

"Yes. I'll have the nurse bring his discharge papers and call his meds in. You two drive safe."

"Thanks doc."

………

Reba lay Katie in her bassinet. She looked down at the sleeping baby and smiled. She had bonded with the baby as much as she tried to distance herself. She couldn't help it. She heard the door close to the bathroom across the hall and heard cussing and moaning. She went over to the door and knocked softly.

"Brock are you ok?"

"I'm … ahhhhhh my god…it hurts. " she heard the sound of water. He finally passed the stone.

He flushed the toilet and collected the stone and placed it in an empty pill bottle. Washing his hands he stepped into the hall. "To be so painful this bastard is so small. Little Brock will remember this day forever. I feel as though I've passed a watermelon through a straw and it's literally the size of a bead."

"At least it wasn't 7lbs 6 oz. you'll recover." She laughed.

"It isn't funny Reba. This thing had spikes. "

"Your exaggerating. At least that was the only one. I just got Katie down. Go take a nap and I'll get dinner ordered."

"I'm not really that tired. I know I passed it already but is it ok if me and Katie still spend the night. I'd like to get at least some rest tonight."

"Yes. The guest room is already made up. I put Katie in my room so you can sleep."

"Thanks Reba. So what's for dinner?"

"Pizza ok. I figured we could watch a movie and eat pizza tonight. "

"As long as we don't watch the notebook.I'm game."

"What's so wrong with the notebook. It's a great movie." They began walking downstairs.

"It's like any other hallmark movie. Two people who fall in love are kept apart and they still end up together. "

"Ok Mr. spoil sport. How about you choose the movie. Anything but James Bond. "

"What's wrong with 007."

"He's a man whore who gets glorified just cause he know knows how to use a gun. Also, it's another action movie cliche where a man saves a damsel in distress and takes all the credit for everything even though she does most of the work."

"Ok then. No James Bond or the notebook. So how about a scary movie. "

"Now your talking."

" The conjuring."

"That one with the Vera Farmiga?"

"Yes."

"Part 1 or 2?"

"2. "

"Sounds like a plan. I'll get the pizza you get the movie. "

………………

It was just after 7 when they sat down to watch the movie. They had eaten there pizza 2 hours ago and had planned on starting the movie then but Katie was restless. It took Reba an hour and a half to get the baby settled and sleeping again. She sat beside Brock on the couch as the movie played. For the first half they were both enthralled and didn't talk much, but the nun coming after lorraine caused Reba to shriek. Brock had smoothly put his arm around Reba and she had yet to notice. She was turned into his arm covering her face.

"You ok Reba?"

"Damn nun scared the shit out of me.is it over. Can I look."

"Yes you can look."

"Can we just turn the movie off. I don't think I want to watch anymore."

"Why. We're having so much fun." It was then she realized how they were sitting. He had his arm around her and she was clutching his shirt.

"Your such a man. You just want me to stay in your arms." She looked in his eyes.

"What's so wrong with that. "

"We're divorced."

"And? We're both single. Your over reacting Reba. It's not like we're making out." She envisioned his lips on hers. Her body suddenly rose in temperature.

"Well…"

"Well what? I haven't done anything tonight you haven't consented to. " her thoughts were of his hand on her body, as his lips devoured her.

"I …" he looked at her. Her face was flush and she was beginning to turn red."

"What are you thinking about Reba?"

"Nothing." She started to move away when he grabbed her wrist.

"Not nothing. What were you thinking."

"I wasn't think anything Brock. Let me go." He smirked.

"You were thinking about us making out. You didn't go all silent till I mentioned it. "

"I was not. I don't think of you that way any…" she didn't have time to think as he pulled her to him and covered her mouth with his. She fought him, pulling her hand from his she lay her palm on his chest and pushed herself back. "What the hell are you doing."

"This.and I'm not letting go this time." He grabbed her around her waist pulling her to straddle him. With one arm around her waist and the other behind her neck he pulled her to him. Taking her mouth a second time he kissed her with fervor. She fought to release herself at first but soon she was lost in his kiss. He felt her change and knew she was as into it as he was. He smirked on her lips and took them further under. Tracing her lip with his tongue he asked for entrance and he felt desire as she opened up to him. He released his grip on her neck and moved his hands lower to caress her back. She moved her hands from his chest to around his neck. What started as him just testing her had them both turned on. He moved his hands to the front of her shirt. Gripping it with his hands he ripped the buttons in one swift movement. Revealing her black lace clad chest to him. He broke their kiss to look at her. When he slid the shirt down her arms she made no protest. She was burning up . She took his shirt and lifted it above his head. She needed to feel his skin on hers. She kissed him this time, more fervent. There tongues fueled for dominance. When she felt his hand slip into her pants she moaned. He smiled when she broke their kiss laying her head on his . The sounds she made were driving him crazy. As he continued circular motions on her most sensitive area. When he withdrew his hand she gave him a look that could kill. He hurriedly flipped her. Sliding her pants and underwear off and then making quick work with his own. He pushed her legs upward. Leaning over he kissed her as he entered her, feeling her grip tighten on his back. She moaned and he waited a minute before he started his movements. He knew it had been a while. He slowly began to thrust. Breaking their kiss he leaned to whisper in her ear. "I'm not stopping until you scream my name. "

"We shouldn't be doing … ahhhh….. this…" he smiled

"It's a little late now. " he smirked beginning to thrust harder and faster.she thrashed her head around on the couch.

"Dont…" she cried out when he began to slow down.

"Dont what Reba.."

"Dont stop. You stop and I swear Brock I'll…oh god.." he smirked. He knew what she needed. He plowed deep inside her speeding up his movements. He knew it wouldn't be long for either of them. Her legs begin to shake and he knew she was close. He placed his hands on her bundle of nerves and began to make circles. She. Began bucking violently and he smiled as she cried out.

"Brock… "

He didn't stop. He needed release as well. He thrust harder until he met his own release as Reba rode her waves of her own orgasm. He finally stopped, bending down to kiss her before he pulled himself out of her.

"Omg. What have we done. "

"Well Reba. When two people …"

She slapped him playfully."you moron . We have just made a huge mistake."

"So much for afterglow." He looked down at her.

"Will you quit staring. "

"Why. You didn't mind 10'minutes ago."

"10 minutes ago we were… you know.."

"Fucking."

"Do you have to sound so vulgar." He moved from his current position and began to put on his clothes. She followed suit.

"Its what it was Reba. I didn't hear you making any complaints. If I can Reba correctly it was don't stop brock. "

"Can we just drop it. I wasn't thinking clearly. "

"So your saying your libido was thinking for you. Essentially you were horny."

"I was not horny."

"Yes you were. "

"Can we drop the conversation about my libido."

"I'd rather us just drop it. I don't want to ever repeat what happened here again. "

"Never?"

"Never. I'm confused as is without us complicating matters."

"Confused about what?"

"Where we stand. One week we are Beatles talking, the next I'm helping raise your kid, and now we are screwing each other in my living room." He laughed.

"We never did anything by the book."

"Well we totally fucked up this time."

" let's move on and not talk about this ever again. We can pretend it didn't happen."

"But it did."

" yes. It did but we don't have to talk about it."

"Ok ok.. bossy."

"Im not bossy. I just don't want to ruin whatever we have had going these past few weeks."

She walked into the kitchen and began to do the dishes. Trying her best to take her mind off the man in the next room..
