Dear Readers-

I have really appreciated the feedback and support that I've received from you. Thanks for continuing to read my story and letting me know that you still want to read more chapters. Keep leaving me comments and reviews. I love reading them. It keeps me writing. I'm sorry that I'm posting this update a day late. I've been super busy lately.

Now on with the story-

I don't own Reba or any of the characters in this story from Reba. They belong to the writers of the REBA TV show. I also do not owe the rights to any of the songs and lyrics that I use in this story. Those are the property of the artists involved. The characters of Kim Campbell, Sam Holliway, Jenny Miller, Nick Holliway and Josh Holliway from this story are my creation though. The story is just a year off from the way that the seasons of Reba actually aired. The story picks up from the events of season two from February 2004-May 2004, the events of season three from fall 2004-spring 2005, and the events of season four in fall 2005.

Previously- "Then you have to get this situation settled and help Kim through her time of need. I've waited twenty years to be with ya. I can stand to wait a little longer. You're worth it."

Reba moved in to kiss his lips one last time before leaving. Her lips searched and explored his mouth desperately like Mike did with his kiss the last time that they parted.

"Now that we've sealed the deal properly with a kiss. I gonna let you know that I plan on holdin' ya to our deal. We're gonna get married in 2008, if we don't get married sooner."

Reba gently laughed. "I'll be countin' the days, Jack. Good luck. See you soon."

"Bye, honey. I'll be seein' ya again as soon as I can."

Reba smiled and turned to leave Holliway's. Lori Ann followed Reba's exit. When Reba reached the door, she turned around to blow a kiss and wave to Mike before walking out the door.

What will happen to Reba and Mike this time? Will Mike come back to Reba or will she run back to him again? What's happening with Kim and Mike this time? What's happening with Reba and Brock?

We left the story in chapter 13 in the year 2004. What happens between 2004 and 2008? What happens in the present? Keep reading to find out more!

Author's note- Reminders- Reba broke up with Brian after the Valentine's Day episode. Brock's mother came to visit and told Reba that Brock still loved her. Cheyenne and Van have asked Brock and Barbra Jean to be Elizabeth's guardians in the event that something happens to them. Kyra has moved out of Reba's house to live with Brock and Barbra Jean. These events really anger Reba. Brock and Reba discovered that they still have some competitiveness between them during The Great Race. Cheyenne worries that her marriage will end just like Reba's did. Van starts playing arena football. Reba begins to like Barbra Jean. Brock starts golfing professionally and wants to stop being a dentist. Kyra has to flee to Reba's in the middle of the night because the fighting between Brock and Barbra Jean is getting bad. Barbra Jean is trying to fix Reba up with guys and wants them to double date. Reba breaks away from being responsible by joyriding in Rhonda, Van's new car. Brock starts therapy. Reba reveals that she was in therapy before. It would make sense that she would be on antidepressants if she'd had lost Brock and miscarried their baby. Reba and Barbra Jean start fighting because Reba is supporting Brock through his depression. Brock is taking "happy pills". Brock breaks down in front of Reba. He calls her his best friend. He seems to regret what he did to her and the kids. Brock tells Reba that he made a mistake leaving her for Barbra Jean. Barbra Jean kicks Brock out of their house. He moves back into his old condo. Reba starts going out with Barbra Jean because of Barbra Jean's "Two Girl Theory". Reba was drinking jello shots and a drink called the Pink Squirrel. She mentioned this drink to Brock. The Pink Squirrel is made from 2 parts crème de noyaux, 1 part white crème de cacao and 1 part light cream. If you want to know about the Tahitian Sunset, please refer to chapter seven. It's got a lot more alcohol in it than the Pink Squirrel does. The story picks up from the fourth season of Reba. It's 2005 at this point in the story.

I go through the episodes carefully to get good details to use in the story. I owe all the seasons. In this story, Van objects to Reba's outfit. I realize that in the episode, The Two Girl Theory, Van looks at Reba's outfit and comments with "Va, Va, Voom". Reba is clearly embarrassed. In this scene, Reba is wearing the outfit from The Two Girl Theory. The reactions will be different from the episode.

Now on with our next chapter-

The next scene came on. Reba sat at the bar with Lori Ann. Lori Ann was filming Reba sporadically with her phone. Lori Ann was out with Reba. Lori Ann doesn't like Reba going out to clubs with Barbra Jean.

"Come on, Reba, loosen up! We're here to have fun. Look at the gorgeous men here tonight."

"I know, but you should've seen the look on Brock's face last week after I went out with Barbra Jean. He's standin' in my kitchen, tellin' me about Barbra Jean missin' their marriage counseling session to go out barhoppin' with some slutty friend because one of his friends told him that Barbra Jean was out manhuntin' with a slutty friend, who's some old tramp. It was the funniest thing when I said 'surprise, I'm the slutty friend'. It was great! He's payin' for marriage counseling that his wife doesn't show up for because she's out barhoppin' with me. I kinda got revenge on him without meanin' to."

"You should. He's an idiot. He's probably drank away his last remainin' brain cells. He's not even worth another thought. It's justice that he's havin' marriage problems now."

"You should've seen his face when he walked into my house tonight to pick up Jake. It was priceless. He definitely didn't like what I was wearin'. He just stood there starin' at me with his mouth open for a couple of minutes before Van started objectin' to my outfit. That's when he started voicin' his objections, too. I guarantee that he wouldn't have objected to this outfit if I had worn it to go out with him when we were married."

"Reba, the man is not worth another thought. We've got lots of hot lookin' men in front of us. You went out with Barbra Jean every night last week. It's my turn to show you how it's done."

"This would be a lot more fun if we were in Oklahoma. We've always had a lot of fun in McAlester."

"Sure. We had fun in Holliway's. You just love hookin' up with Mike anywhere that you can."

"Lori Ann, you hold the record for the most hookups at Holliway's. I can't even count the number of times that you've shouted Terry's name at the top of your lungs."

"Not much chance of that happenin' now is there."

"Lori Ann, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset ya. I just like to look back on that part of the past very fondly. When we're in McAlester, there's no Brock and no Barbra Jean. I've gotten to kick Kim's butt. It's very satisfyin' to see her face when she sees Mike with me. I've gone over every memory in my mind millions of times. I look at all these guys and not one of them can compare to him."

"Reba, it's been a year and a half. If he were done with Kim, he would've shown up by now. You've got to let it go and move on."

"My mind knows that. My heart is another matter. You know the only thing more satisfyin' than seein' Kim's face when I'm in Mike's arms would be seein' Brock's face. I told Brock over and over again when I was with Mike that he'd never get me to forget Mike. Why do women give in to brief meaningless attractions? That's what got me in trouble with Brock in the first place."

"Reba, those are the best kind. You only need one of those for a short time before movin' on to the next one. It's fun."

"Where were you twenty-one years ago? Why didn't tell me that back then?"

"I tried to tell you that Brock had a thing for ya. You should've had condoms in your purse. I've always lived by that rule."

"I didn't plan on havin' sex with Brock that night. It was an accident. I didn't think that I would get pregnant that night that Brock and I had sex on the beach. It was our first time."

"You didn't think that you'd get pregnant the first time that you ever had sex either and look how that turned out. Remember?"

"That didn't matter so much when I felt that life growin' inside of me. The baby brought Mike and I back together. He actually left Kim twice to be with me, once before I had the baby and then again just before I married Brock. I'm not sorry about that."

"This conversation is too serious for me. Let's get some drinks and have some fun."

"Order a Pink Squirrel for me."

"No way! You are out with me. Let's order Tahitian Sunsets."

"Lori Ann, I don't know about that. There's a lot of liquor in those. We're not young and wild enough to drink Tahitian Sunsets anymore."

"Speak for yourself. I'm orderin' us some of those. I'll be a good friend. Here put some of these in your purse." Lori Ann took a few condoms out of her purse and stuffed them into Reba's purse.

"Lori Ann!"

"I'm just being responsible. Now let's go follow the brief meaningless attractions. We need to get you back on the man." Reba blushed and laughed.

Lori Ann's voice came on to narrate.

Lori Ann's Narration-

I quickly went and got the drinks. By the time that Reba had three of those drinks; she was flirting and dancing with many good looking guys. By the time that Reba had drank about six of those drinks, she was so drunk that she didn't know who she was with. That was when Mike showed up. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Reba was so drunk.

Mike slow danced with Reba. She ran her fingers through his hair and pulled him to her in a kiss.

"Mike, she's a lot to drink. She doesn't normally drink this much. We need to get her home."

Lori Ann's voice came on to narrate.

Lori Ann's Narration-

Mike drove us back to Reba's house. The house was empty. Fortunately, no one was there to see Reba so drunk. He carried her up the stairs to her bedroom. All Mike was supposed to do was put Reba to bed to sleep it off. That's when things got interesting.

"Stay with me here tonight. I love you." Reba murmured. She reached out to touch his hair and put her lips on his. Mike was so shocked that he lost his footing. They fell onto the bed. Mike was on top of Reba. Reba continued to kiss him. "I can't believe that you're really here," she whispered. Then she laughed. "You like what I'm wearing, don't you? I knew that you would." She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him again.

"I have to film this. She's isn't goin' to remember any of this tomorrow."

"Lori Ann, she's not that drunk."

"Go ahead and ask her somethin'."

"Reba, honey, do you know who I am?"

"Of course! Welcome home, darlin'. I've missed you so much!"

"Well, I'm satisfied. See, I told ya. You have nothin' to worry about. She's fine. I'm gonna talk to her about gettin' married in the mornin'."

Reba laughed again.

"Something is not right with her. Reba, do you know who that is?"

"Lori Ann, I know my own husband." She started to kiss him again. "Hi."

"She seems fine to me. Stop worryin'." He smiled at Reba. "We're gonna get married again as soon as possible. I want to be her husband. I know that's what she wants too."

Reba pulled him down to her. "I love you so much, Brock," she murmured softly.

Mike pulled away from her quickly as if he'd been burnt. Lori Ann laughed. "I told ya."

"I thought that if I gave her enough time. She'd be ready and she'd be over Brock. I see that's not the case. What's been goin' on around here?"

"Brock is separated from the bimbo. He told Reba that he'd made a mistake in leavin' her. He's been hangin' around here a lot."

"Are they involved again?"

"No. He comes over to spend time with the kids. That's it. He hasn't made a move on her at all."

Reba was passed out on the bed. "D- it! I can't even talk to her. I've gotta go."

"Wait. You can talk to her in the morning."

"I'm not getting into this again. She left me because she didn't wanna be with me while she was still in love with Brock. She's still not over him yet. I can give her some more time. She'll either get back together with him or she'll be with me. It was nice seeing you, Lori Ann. Don't tell her that I was here. Let her sort things out on her own."

Reba was sitting on her bed, watching the video. Her cheeks were crimson. Her head was bent down for a minute, while she processed what she just saw.

She lifted her head up and looked at Mike, taking his hand. She started speaking slowly and carefully. "I have no idea why I said that. I'm so sorry. I'd had too much to drink. I'd never want to hurt you like that. I was out of my mind. You have every right to be angry with me. This explains a lot, especially your silence all this time. I don't blame you anymore for not calling me. If you'd done that to me, I'd be angry with you, too."

"Are you done being mad at me?"

"No, that doesn't excuse what happened on our anniversary. I'm just less mad."

"Good. Do you think that we could start over and forget the whole thing? I'd like us to spend some time together talking and hashing things out."

Reba nodded and then turned towards Barbra Jean. "I'm so sorry. I want you to know that nothing happened when you were separated from Brock. I would never want to hurt you like that either. Believe me; I have no interest in your husband whatsoever."

Barbra Jean smiled. "Reba, you're my best friend. I trust you. Don't give it a second thought. How about you let me flirt a little with this guy and we'll call it even." She inched closer to where Mike was standing.

Reba instantly glared at her. "Barbra Jean, back off! This man is mine and I'm not sharing him with you."

Mike looked into Reba's eyes and smiled. He took her hand and lifted it to her lips. "I do believe that we've got off to a good start, darlin'."

Reba quickly masked the emotions on her face. "That's enough of that. Let's watch the video."

"Honey, can we talk about who's the boss of who later? Right now, I'd just like to see a smile beneath that steel mask of yours."

"What are you talking about? You've been gone for years this time. You don't know me anymore."

"Honey, I've known you for thirty-seven years now. I just saw you a couple of months ago. Things haven't changed that much."

"We spent less than an hour together. That doesn't count. If I remember correctly, we said everything that we had left to say then."

"That's only because you want to be in control all the time. People do argue. It doesn't mean that the relationship is over."

"Jack, I threw a glass bottle at your head."

"But you weren't really aiming for my head. You were mad. That's all. I'm sorry that I hurt you. You said some things that hurt me, too. Come on, Sweetheart. Let's move past that into a neutral area."

"Fine, but I still reserve the right to get mad at ya if there's anything else I don't like on the video."

"Fine, you win. I give up. Now smile for me, please." Mike lifted his hand and rubbed her cheek. Reba brushed her cheek against his touch. She gave him a small smile.

Reba turned her attention back to the video.

The scene on the video ended when Mike left Reba's room after she passed out. In the next scene, Reba was sitting in her kitchen with Lori Ann the next morning.

"You wouldn't believe the dream that I had last night. I had the sex dream about Brock again." Reba had her head bent down. Her eyes were closed and she was shaking her head in disbelief.

Lori Ann laughed.

"That's not funny, Lori Ann. I have to make this stop. Mike won't wanna be with me if he thinks that he'll lose me again. I can't possibly want Brock. He thinks that it's repulsive to have another child with me. He had a vasectomy and hid it from me so he could get his own way. I'm not gonna be with someone like that. I've got a good chance for happiness with Mike."

Brock walks into the kitchen through the back door. "And here comes your dream man," Lori Ann whispered to Reba.

Reba sent a look of fury to Lori Ann.

"What are you doin' here?" Reba said with obvious disdain.

"Good morning to you too, sunshine. I came to have breakfast with Jake," Brock replied, still smiling and trying to coax Reba out of her bad mood.

"Have you ever heard of an invention called the telephone? Normally, divorced couples use it to communicate about visitation."

"How much did you have to drink last night? You're not normally this angry unless you have a killer hangover," Brock said, putting his hand on her shoulder in concern.

"Don't touch me. My private life is none of your business, you mo-ron." Reba got up from her chair, slapped him upside the head hard, and then she elbowed him in the stomach.

Brock looked over at Lori Ann after he recovered from the blow. "What is wrong with her today?"

"Do you mean in general? Or do you mean for the last twenty-two years?" Lori Ann said, laughing.

"Watch it, Lori Ann!" Reba glared at Lori Ann. "I honestly don't know why I put up with you anymore," Reba said to Brock before stomping out of the room.

"Geez, Red's in a mood," Brock commented.

Lori Ann laughed again. "You have no idea."

What will happen to Reba and Mike this time? Will she be able to stop thinking about Brock? What's happening with Brock and Reba?

It's 2005 in the video. You've gotten a taste of what happening in 2008. To find out more, stay tuned to read the next chapter!
