#5Breakaway
"Hey, hey!" Barbra Jean greeted as she entered Reba's house with Henry in arm, and Brock following close behind
"Ready to go?" Cheyenne asked as she got up to pick up Elizabeth from her play pen.
"You betchya" Barbra Jean said with an excited smile on her face.
"Okay, you two have fun" Brock said as he held the door open to the two wives making their way out for a play date.
"Hey Reba" Brock said nicely "I got your message I came as soon as I could, what's up?" he said to her as he sat down on the chair.
"Brock your son is out of control!" Reba stated angrily
"What are you talking about Reba? Are we talking about the same son here?" Brock said as he looked dumbfounded at his ex-wife
"Yes your moron we are talking about Jake, our son!" she said as she walked by him and slapped him on the back of the head.
"What happened with Jake? Is he okay!?" Brock asked worried as he winced in pain.
"He's fine, Brock but he was sent home from school today, he's suspended" the fiery redhead told.
"Suspended, what he do?" Brock curiously asked.
"He got into a fight with another boy" she explained to him as she was walking around the room picking up stuffed toys.
"A fight" Brock said surprised
"JAKE!, Come down here son!" Brock called out.
Jake came running down the stairs
"What dad?" he asked not amused.
"Your mother just told me what happened at school today; care to explain to me why you did it?" Brock asked his son as he walked him over to the couch and sat down beside him.
"Why should I tell you?" Jake said annoyed
"Because we are your parents and we want to know why you did that" Brock said picking his words carefully as Reba watched on.
"I told you before I don't want to talk about it!" Jake said yelling
"Just wait a minute, joke you don't go anywhere we want to talk to you" Reba spoke up just as angry as Jake.
Jake stood between his parents waiting for the next one to speak.
"Jake I can honestly tell you right now, that I am not happy with what you did today I demand an explanation" Reba spoke to her son with a little more anger in her voice
Jake stood there stubbornly not saying a word
Just then the front door opened. Brock and Reba expected it to be Cheyenne coming back for something that she left back for Elizabeth, but to her surprise it was Kyra.
"Hey kyra!" Reba said excitedly as she changed her moods quickly.
"Hey mom" kyra's greeted as she hugged her mom and put her jacket on the coat rack.
"This is my friend Natasha, the one I told you about this morning" Kyra's told as she waved her friend into the house.
In stepped a girl Kyra's age, with long brown hair and dressed in black shirt and pants with a silver cross around her neck she had green eyes like a cat even though her presence seemed dark and mysterious her eyes seemed gentle and caring.
Natasha smiled at the red headed women in front of her and said shyly "hi I'm Natasha" she said introducing herself.
Reba smiled back at the young girl and extended her hand out to her "I'm Reba, Kyra's mom"
"Nice to meet you Ms. Hart" she said while shaking the women's hand.
"Come sit, talk" Reba offered as she led the two girls over to the couch and sat down
"Hi, I'm Brock" he smiled and said as he reached out his hand to greet her "I'm kyra's dad" he added with a laugh
"Oh, nice to meet you Mr. Hart" Natasha said slightly confused as she looked at Kyra and smiled embarrassedly.
Natasha looked over at the young boy standing watching everything going on, he was pouting.
"And who might this be?" she asked nicely as she looked around waiting for an answer.
Kyra looked over at her little brother and said "oh, this is my little brother Jake" she explained.
Natasha smiled kindly at the young boy, "hi, Jake" she said to him not knowing if he would respond to her or not.
Sarcastically the boy smiled and said "hi".
"Jake be nice" Reba warned.
"How about no! I'm tired of being nice!" she said as he started to turn around and before either of them realized what he was about to do Jake had already started to run to the back door.
"Jake!" Brock yelled as he got up to run after his son. "Excuse me" hespoke as he ran passed the couch and passed Reba who was sitting on the chair.
Natasha looked around at the ones who were remaining in the room, watching this scene unfold at the Hart residents. No one said a word; they just listened to the yells of Jake and Mr. Hart outside the house as they were running down the street.
"I'm sorry" Reba said looking shameley down at her hands "Jake's not usually like that" she said trying to apologize.
Natasha nodded "no really" she spoke "I understand it's quite all right, it's just one of those days you know no need to apologize" she explained to kyra's mother ending with an understanding smile.
"I told you" Kyra nudged her friend a smile grew across her face "I told you it was a circus at my house" she laughed trying to break the ice to lighten the situation
"Yeah you did" Natasha said nodding with a smirk on her face remembering what Kyra told her about her family.
