Dear Readers-
I know that most readers are looking forward to a new chapter on Sundays and I will do my best to make that happen each week, if I can. I'm sorry that this week's chapter is shorter than usual. I'm sorry that the chapter is late again. I am also working on the preview post for Reba Nell Got Married. It takes so much time to write for two stories at once. I really applaud the other writers who do it so often. I know that readers do appreciate it. I work long hours on midnight shifts on the weekends so I end up having to post on Mondays most of the time. I will work on improving my posting times for you. I do plan to have a preview update of chapter one on Reba's birthday as an appreciation gift to all of you readers. Look for that coming Monday, March 28th in honor of Reba's birthday. It will be titled Reba Nell Got Married preview. I hope that you know that I have really appreciated the feedback and support that I've received from you.
Happy Birthday, Reba! To an amazing performer who rises to any professional challenge to the delight of her ever-growing fan base. We love and appreciate you always! This chapter is dedicated to you! Lifetime cable channel will be playing a Reba episode (Someone's at the Gyno with Reba) at 1 a.m. on Tuesday, March 29th. That's as close to watching Reba on TV as fans can get on Lifetime, I guess. GAC channel will be playing Backstory: Reba McEntire at 9 p.m. Central time.
I have chosen March 28, 1983 as the date that Reba goes back in time. I thought that would be a nice way to make another Reba connection in the story since I had chosen June for Reba Hart's birthday in Believe in Love Again. If you don't have me listed on your author alert, then you'll have to go to the Reba fan fiction site to find the preview. It will be there as early as possible on Monday, March 28th. The regular update for Believe in Love Again will be posted on Sunday. The update will be the usual length for chapter 25.
We are finally going to get to Barbra Jean. We get to find out a little about what's been going on with her and how she fits into the story. She's conspiring with Brock. This decision will come back to haunt Brock later. Reba will get some heavenly guidance from her grandfather and Terry Holliway when the story reaches October 2008. Please try to keep an open mind, especially when it comes to Reba's grandma, Cheyenne. There will be some magic mentioned in this story, but nothing too strange. Most writers have actors in mind for their characters. I didn't have one in mind for Reba's grandma Cheyenne until recently. Elizabeth Taylor passed away on March 23, 2011. She was the same age as the character in 2008. I loved her performance on General Hospital. Readers should keep her in mind as they read about Reba's grandma Cheyenne. She's perfect for the part.
I will have Reba kidnapped towards the end of the story. This was an idea that readers have requested. Thanks, FakeCubicZirconium. I will make sure that Brock and Mike have to prove who loves Reba more. Reba's grandma, Cheyenne will see to that. She's a scary woman sometimes. She's not kidding when she says that she will put a curse on a guy for breaking Reba's heart. Reba's grandma is a real witch. That's what Kim was referring to in chapters 9 and 16 when she called Reba "a vicious little witch". Reba had her grandma bind her gifts so she didn't do magic anymore. That's why her children are what she calls "normal". Reba will reclaim her magic abilities eventually. That's why grandma Cheyenne referred to Reba's future daughter, Maggie, as "special". Maggie will have magical abilities also.
Just to be clear, Reba's grandma has remarried. Reba has a step-grandfather, nicknamed Gramps, who married her grandma Cheyenne when Reba was fifteen. Her grandpa died when Reba was fourteen. This is the grandfather who will be giving her heavenly guidance. I will be interesting when Brock and Barbra Jean sit down to dinner with Reba's grandparents. Paige convinces Reba to invite them to dinner while they are visiting McAlester. That scene will be hilarious. Reba's grandma, who she calls Nana, does not hide the fact that she does magic. She intends to put fear into Brock and Barbra Jean will freak out.
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. Your reviews make me smile. It keeps me writing. Here it goes…
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. I also do not owe the rights to any television show or movie reference that I use in this story. Those are the property of the Hollywood creative teams involved in their production. I will be changing some release/airing dates of the titles used to fit in with the story.
The characters of Max Thornton, Cheyenne McEntire-Smith (Nana), Kenneth Smith (Gramps), Paige McKinney, Michael Davis, John McKinney, Barbara Ann Grant, Kim Campbell-Holliway, Sam Holliway, Jenny Miller, Nick Holliway, Terry Holliway, Jr., 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 after the sixth season of Reba and beyond from summer-fall 2008.
This chapter will consist of scenes that will be in regular font, not italicized font. I use the italicized font to distinguish between author's notes and regular scenes. I use bold font when things need special emphasis.
Previously- Paige ended the call. Reba sat on her bed, wondering what her next move should be. She picked up the phone and called Barbra Jean.
"Hey, Barbra Jean. It's me, Reba. Listen how about we get together at my house for breakfast tomorrow morning around 8."
"You wanna have breakfast with me. Sounds great, best friend!"
"You are never gonna stop callin' me that, are ya?"
"Not on your life. Will Brock be there?"
"I don't know. He is stayin' here so he might be here. Is that a problem? You two are supposed to be workin' things out or at least be civil for Henry's sake."
"It would be great to spend some time with Henry and Jake. Can I take them to the park afterwards?"
"Sure, you can. It would be nice to have some peace and quiet around here. Elizabeth will be at the campus daycare center. Cheyenne headed to school and Van will have already left for work. Kyra may still be around though. She may wanna go to the park with y'all. Wait! You should clear it with Brock before takin' Henry out on Brock's week with him. You should give him a call on his cell."
"Can you just ask him really quickly?"
"No, I'm in my room. I don't know where he is right now. I'm not in the mood to deal with him right now. I've got a lot of thinkin' to do. I've got some decisions to make."
"I hear ya. I can't think when Brock's around either."
"That explains a lot about ya when you were livin' with Brock." Reba and Barbra Jean laugh.
"You and your silly little jokes. You'd be surprised how much more I get accomplished now without Brock around."
"We have to talk about that, Barbra Jean. You are supposed to be workin' on your marriage. You should be talkin' about your relationship with Brock in a positive way. You should be communicating positively with him."
"Why? Because you are Mary Sunshine? You yell at him and call him a moron. It doesn't seem to hurt your relationship with him."
"I don't have a relationship with him. He's a lyin' cheatin' giant butt who's invaded my home and my life. At least I don't have to talk to him as much now. He's in my face a lot less now that he's actually livin' here. I'm doin' my best to help you two get back together."
"You are so kind and wonderful, Reba. We don't deserve you bein' so good to us. Thank you, Reba. I'll see you in the morning, best friend."
Reba rolled her eyes and hung out the telephone when the call ended. She thought about what she would say to Barbra Jean at breakfast. She needed to know if Barbra Jean knew about the birthday dinner and was okay with it. Brock hung up the telephone in the kitchen. He got Henry and walked out the back door from the kitchen, and then he headed over to Barbra Jean's house.
Reba was left to wonder what Barbra Jean would say about her dinner on Friday night with Brock. Would she be okay with it? Brock wondered what Barbra Jean would say to Reba in the morning ….
What will happen to Reba and Brock on Friday's date? Will Reba's grandma's help work? Will Barbra Jean be okay with Reba going on a date with Brock? What does Barbra Jean intend to do about her marriage to Brock? Will Reba get a sign about who her soul mate is? Will Reba be talking to LovinCowboy84 about her fears? Will readers get to find out what's happening with Lori Ann soon? Who's playing matchmaker for some of the couples in this story? Who will Reba end up with in Vegas?
What happens next? Stay tuned to find out this chapter!
We left the story in chapter 23 in the present year of the story- June 2008 with a conversation between Paige, Nana, and Reba. There was also another conversation between Reba and Barbra Jean. Reba was panicked about her upcoming "date" with Brock. Brock was amused by Reba's panic. Brock eavesdropped on the phone call on the telephone extension in the kitchen. Paige told Nana about Reba's anxiety over her love life. They discussed a couple of soul mate spells for Reba to use for her and Brock. Reba thinks that this will help Brock find happiness with Barbra Jean.
Reba revealed that she had cast love spells on Mike when she was a teenager. She was afraid that Mike was in love with her because of a spell. She wanted him to love her without the influence of magic. Nana has disapproved of Brock. She has had visions as part of her powers. She has known that Brock is hiding something. That has kept her from accepting him as part of Reba's life. She threatened to cast a spell on Brock to punish him for hurting Reba, but Reba won't let her. Reba insisted to Nana that she and Brock are only friends. She revealed that her children don't have any magical abilities because she gave up her magic. She wanted a normal life with normal children without magic.
Nana is only encouraging Reba to be with Mike Holliway because he's the only one that she can see without any secrets to hide from Reba. Reba revealed that her parents do approve of Brock, despite disapproving of Mike. Reba revealed her hurt feelings because her mother, Helen gets along with Barbra Jean better than her. Nana revealed her visions of Reba's future daughter, Maggie. Reba was reassured that her other pregnancy was not meant to be because the daughter that she longs for has yet to be born. Reba revealed her fears about Mike and Brock finding out about the family's magical abilities.
Paige revealed that she has a new man in her life named Greg. Reba talked about a guy that she used to know named Greg. She told Reba what a great mom that she was despite Helen as an example of a mother. Reba told Paige that she had a great mom. Reba called Barbra Jean to invite her to breakfast the next morning to find out how she feels about Reba's upcoming dinner with Brock. After the phone call with Barbra Jean ended, Brock went with Henry to talk to Barbra Jean at her house. Brock wondered what Barbra Jean would or would not say during her conversation with Reba.
After the phone calls, Reba was left to wonder about what would happen on Friday night during her date with Brock? What happens now? What happens in the present when Reba wakes up in Vegas? How did she end up in Vegas? Keep reading to find out more!
Author's note- Note to readers: This chapter will deal with Reba and Brock's feelings about their date. I am working towards writing about the date itself. First, Reba has to clear up some things with Barbra Jean and find out how Barbra Jean is feeling about Brock. Brock will talk to Barbra Jean about their situation and his intentions towards Reba. Reba will be talking about her anxiety to LovinCowboy84. After that, the story will lead into Reba's date with Brock.
Here are some things to remember as you read this story:
You have to be very careful sometimes when reading details because new chapters will refer back to previous chapters in my stories. I like making lots of twists and turns in my writing to keep people guessing.
No one has made any guessing about the conspiracy between Brock and Kim. That's okay. There's plenty of time before that is revealed. *Spoiler*-Terry will be revealing that from beyond the grave. Remember the videotape that everyone is watching in September 2008. Terry has left a message for Reba and Mike about the conspiracy.
Readers will find out some of what is happening between Brock and Barbra Jean a little at a time in each chapter.
*Spoiler*-Reba is not the only one going back in time to 1983 in Reba Nell Got Married. Terry will give another person the same privilege to fix the past.
Reba will start seeing Terry the angel in October 2008 when Mike re-enters Reba's life.
Michael Davis was Paige's longtime boyfriend and high school sweetheart. He reminds Reba of Van and Mike. He is a combination of both Van and Mike in character traits and personality.
Reba hasn't mentioned Paige to Brock yet. He had to eavesdrop on her telephone conversations to find out about Paige on top of many other things. She has a sister that he's never met and they were married for 18 years. He has no idea that Reba doesn't really get along with her parents. He is just beginning to find out how determined she is to have another child. What will he say about all of that? He is just beginning to find out things about Reba that he never knew. He is slowly uncovering a Reba that he's found out that he never knew.
Barbara Ann Grant is the name of Paige's mother, who Reba came to befriend in Ada in 1983.
Max Thornton is Reba's former boss, who made a pass on her in Ada on her birthday. He is not gone from this story. He will cause more trouble for Reba.
Greg Brooks was Reba's ex-boyfriend for two years from grades 7-9. Mike doesn't know about him. He was friends with Tommy Johnson. He has an ax to grind with Reba.
Baby John's full name was John Christopher McKinney. Cheyenne will name her son, John Christopher Montgomery.
Mike's son, Sam and his girlfriend, Jenny will get into a similar situation as Van and Cheyenne did in high school. Mike and Jenny are college students.
Frontier's is a restaurant owned by the Holliway family.
JV and Helen will enter the story soon. Reba will see them again when she visits McAlester.
Reba will get a chance to see baby John again and meet her future daughter.
Reba's new daughter will be named Margaret Melissa (Maggie). This is in honor of Melissa Peterman. Her full name is Melissa Margaret Peterman. I just switched the first and middle names around for Reba's future daughter.
I am using actual Houston locations for Reba and Brock's date. I thought that would be neat. I really planned it out.
I wanted to explain the cinnamon and vanilla references in the last chapter by Paige and Reba in chapter 23. I didn't want anyone to be unclear about the meaning. Reba felt plain and boring when she was married to Brock. She sees Brock as "vanilla" because she never felt any excitement with him, especially towards the end of their marriage. Vanilla is a light flavoring. Most people don't eat vanilla ice cream without an extra topping on it. She sees Barbra Jean as the type of wife that Brock wants, who is generic enough to go along with whatever Brock wants. She sees herself as "vanilla" because she doesn't have much of a love life right now. Cinnamon is a type of spice. They reference it because Reba needs to spice up her love life. They will be making these references again. Brock will also be using these references too. I just didn't want to throw anybody off.
I like your guesses so far. Some of them are right on track, which means that you've been paying close attention to the story. Thank you! I know that you are just wondering who she ends up with in Vegas. That's the main question. There will be so many other questions that will need to be answered in the future.
The answers to these questions will be revealed as you read the story. Here is the latest installment of Believe in Love Again.
Now on with our next chapter-
Brock walked over to Barbra Jean's house from Reba's so fast that he nearly broke the 26 second record that Barbra Jean had set when they moved in. Barbra Jean was sitting on the couch watching a movie.
"Hey, Brock. What's up? Thanks for bringing Henry by to see me."
"He had a rough time goin' to sleep last night. You know how it is with it being his first time sleeping in a new place. I came over because I wanted to talk to you about Reba. I know that you were just on the phone with her."
"Yeah, I'm comin' over for breakfast in the morning. Did she ask you if I can take Henry to the park with Jake in the morning?"
"No, she didn't. That would be fine with me, but that's beside the point. I need to talk to you about what you're gonna say to Reba in the morning."
"I'm not comfortable lying to my best friend, Brock. I don't see what the big deal is anyway."
"Do you have any idea how mad Reba would be if she knew that we're not gonna work things out? She'd never let me continue to stay at the house if she thought that it would be a permanent situation. Reba does not like the concept of divorce. Things are going well right now and I don't want to ruin that."
"I understand that. I do, but she just so nice tryin' to help us work things out. I feel so guilty lying to her. I don't like conspirin' behind her back, Brock."
"Look, Reba's going through something right now. If I tell ya what's goin' on, you've got to promise me that you tell her that you know. Let her tell you when she's ready to."
"Okay, I promise. I can do this. Since you've moved in there, I haven't been around as much and I really miss knowin' what's going on with Reba." Barbra Jean padded the space next to her on the couch and invited Brock to sit down. Henry ran into the kitchen for a snack.
Brock sat down and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "It's been difficult. Reba's going through something and won't let anybody in. She makes all kinds of phone calls to people that I've never even heard of to talk about her personal life and her problems. She has family members that I've never even met apparently. She had a boyfriend in Oklahoma and they broke up recently."
"Reba had a boyfriend? Wow, that's news! Where does that leave you?"
"I'm not sure. I've tried talking to her. She doesn't want to let me get too close because I'm still technically married to you. She's afraid of becoming "the other woman". The boyfriend in Oklahoma is an ex that she was in love with before we got married. They started seeing each other again after I filed for divorce. The only reason why it doesn't last is because she's afraid of being in a relationship and he's an idiot. I found out that she had a miscarriage six years ago."
"Whoa, Reba was pregnant? When?"
"Around the same time that you and Cheyenne were. Before you ask, I'm gonna tell you that it was my baby. She ran off to have the baby with him in Oklahoma. That's where she was after Van and Cheyenne got married. Something went wrong and she had a heart attack. She lost the baby. I heard that her heart stopped and she had to be brought back. When I didn't hear from her for days, it was because she was in the hospital unconscious. You can't let anyone know what I just told you. She didn't tell me any of this herself."
"How did you find this out? Was she talkin' in her sleep again?"
"Yeah, but I also ended up overhearin' her talking about it on the phone."
"Brock, you can't be listenin' in on her phone calls."
"This from the woman who spies on people through the computer and by reading other people's e-mails."
"Alright, alright, lay off! So is she having nightmares again?"
"Yes. I hate to be glad about her sleep problems, but it gives me a great opportunity to get close to her."
"I know Reba so I know that nothing has happened between the two of you, but I know you. It wasn't for lack of trying, right?"
"A couple of times by accident. I don't plan these things you know. I can't make plans like that with her. She doesn't even want to look at me like that. My only hope is that we're going out for her birthday on Friday night. She's very nervous about that, by the way. That's what she wants to talk to you about in the morning. Is there a way that you can let her know that you're okay with it without telling her about the divorce, please? She will not go out with me if she knows that we're gettin' divorced."
"I'm so glad that we finally filed. We were just dragging it on anyway. Did the lawyer tell ya when it would be final?"
"Late September or early October. Thanks for tellin' Reba about our divorce dates. She thinks that you and I still have somethin' going on still."
"That was months ago. She's my best friend. I'm sorry, okay? I will casually try to drop it into the conversation that you and I aren't intimate anymore, okay? This is so strange. I'm helping my husband get a girlfriend. The only thing that I'm not upset about is that it's Reba. I knew that you still wanted her years ago when you told her that you thought that you made a mistake when you married me. I knew a long time ago that Reba wasn't over you either. You're just lucky that I care enough to want my best friend to be happy with the love of her life."
"I'm not sure that I would say that I'm the love of her life. It's either me or the other guy from Oklahoma. I was lucky enough to get her the first time. I only got her because he screwed up really badly. I used that to my advantage."
"To be honest, I'm really glad that we can talk like this. At least, it's a more honest relationship. We don't have the hostility anymore. Being friends is better for the kids. It makes things easier on the family."
"That's what Reba said about her and me."
"Ouch! That's gotta hurt. So, how can I help ya this time?"
"I've got a really romantic date set up for Reba on Friday. All you have to do is not let on what you know and give her some encouragement. Let her know that it's okay with you for her to be spending lots of time with me like she has been."
"Gotcha! I can do that. Let me know if you need any other help with Reba, okay? I really want to see the two of you happy again. If you need to talk to someone, I'm here for ya."
"Thanks, Barbra Jean. It means a lot and it's more than I deserve. I'm gonna get back to Reba's now. I'll leave Henry here with you for another hour so you can spend some time with him. I'll have Kyra come and pick him up in a little while."
"Sounds good. Thanks, Brock. You know if I'd know that we'd be gettin' along so well like this, I'd have divorced long ago."
"That's what Reba said about sharing the house with me as friends. Thanks, Barbra Jean. Let me know if you need anything, too."
Brock left Barbra Jean's house to walk back over to Reba's. Reba was out shopping when he returned. After dinner, everyone went their separate ways. Jake went to spend the night at a friend's house after promising to return in the morning to go to the park with Barbra Jean and Henry. Kyra went to band practice. Cheyenne and Van invited Henry to stay the night in their apartment with Elizabeth. Brock and Reba were left alone for the evening. There was an awkward silence between the two at the dinner table.
"I've got some stuff to do in the kitchen so if you'll excuse me," Reba said, fleeing to the safety of the kitchen.
Brock followed right behind her. "I figured that I would help you out with the dishes."
"Fine. Just don't get in my way." Reba pulled out her herbs, incense, and other supplies; then she started burning charcoal in the barbeque grill.
"What are you doin'?" Brock said, watching her efforts in interest.
"I'm just makin' some tea and I had some papers that I felt like burning so I figured that the grill would be the safest place."
"Okay. After the dishes, I'll be up in my room. I'm gonna read for a little while."
"What are you gonna read, Golf Digest?"
"You don't think very much of me, do you? I'm deeper than that. I'm actually gonna read a book tonight."
"Yeah, Brock. You're one deep pool," Reba said sarcastically.
After the dishes were in the dishwasher, Reba turned to wave Brock out of the kitchen. "Okay, you're done now get outta here."
"Gosh, Reba. What are you doin' that's so top secret? I'm bein' thrown out of my own kitchen."
"My kitchen. I simply give you privileges to be in here."
Brock threw his hands up in defeat. "Alright, alright, I'll go up to my room now."
He turned and walked out of the kitchen. He went upstairs to his room. Reba went back to preparing everything for the soul mate spells. Brock watched her from his bedroom window. Reba came inside to put the rose petals under her pillow and put the rose quartz necklace on. She went into Brock's room with the container of roses.
"What's that?"
"I thought that you might like some fresh flowers in your room. I got them today while I was out shopping. I'll take care of them for you. All you have to do is enjoy them. They smell really nice."
"They do. Thank you, Reba. That was very nice of you."
"Don't mention it. You should get some sleep soon. Barbra Jean will be over in the morning to have breakfast with us. It will be a good time to work on being positive with her. Remember to try to communicate with her as much as you can."
"Reba, I think that I can handle Barbra Jean. She's Henry's mother. We've been working together on custody without any problems."
"That's exactly what I mean. You shouldn't need custody arrangements, if you would be working on your marriage. I like having you here. It's been nice, but you should be at home with your wife."
"Reba, if it were that simple, then I wouldn't be here-.' Brock began. He was interrupted by the shaking of the furniture in his bedroom. Reba grabbed Brock and pulled him into her bedroom and bathroom. She quickly drew him a bath. I want you to relax here in the tub while I take care of what's going on in the house."
"Okay. Can you grab my iPod? I want to listen to music while I'm in here. It will distract me from the noise. Are you sure that I shouldn't help you out there?"
"No. You're better off in here where it's safe. I'll let you know when it's over."
Reba ran back into Brock's room with her cell phone in hand. "Listen, I don't know what goin' on, but it stops right now. Leave Brock alone! Terry, Papa, or John D., I don't care who you are. Brock is under my protection now. Leave him alone." She dialed her grandma's number on her cell phone. "Nana, call off whatever you are doin' right now! Brock is under my protection now. I don't need ya interfering. All you've done is cause my ex-husband to think that our children may not be safe living in my house with me. Please cut it out. You'll do more harm than good. I'll be working on getting Brock back together with his wife in the morning."
"That's not what I've heard from Maggie."
"Maggie? You mean my future daughter can see her future. 'Cause there is no way that Brock and I would have anything close to somethin' like that in the near future. I want to have another child with Mike. He wants to get married and raise Maggie together. I'm workin' towards that, but I don't want you to scare Brock into takin' my kids outta here with your hocus pocus."
"You have to listen to me."
"No, I don't. I am finally ready to start working on a future that I've been running from for the past six years. I've waited twenty five years for it. No one is gonna screw that up and that includes Brock. Please calm down. Whatever you see is just a temporary vision. We make choices to change our future every day. I could do one thing different than you've seen before and that vision wouldn't come true. Just try to relax. I am workin' on reuniting Brock with his true love and finding true love for myself. Everything is gonna work out fine. Please don't do anything else unless I ask, okay?"
"Agreed. I wouldn't want him to take one of your children from you again. But you wouldn't believe what I saw tonight."
"I'm sure it was really somethin', Nana. Get some sleep. I know I certainly do. I'll call you soon."
Reba ended the call. "Listen, I don't want anythin' like this going on in my house again! Go haunt Barbra Jean's house. It's over there," Reba said, pointing in the direction of Barbra Jean's. She walked back into the bathroom.
"Everything seems fine now. Our house must be on a fault line. Way to go, Brock! You bought us a house on a fault line, you mo-ron."
Brock just stared at her, smiling. He didn't buy her explanation for a second, but he chose to let it go.
"What?"
"You're already in here. Do ya wanna join me in the tub?" Brock asked, smirking.
Reba rolled her eyes at him and turned her back to leave.
"Wait!"
"What is it now?"
"I don't feel right about staying in my room tonight. Can I stay in your room just for tonight? I need some sleep and I don't think that I can sleep in there after what happened tonight."
Reba sighed. "Fine. Just stay on your side of the bed. We have to get up early to meet with Barbra Jean." She left the room and went to Brock's room. When she came back, Brock was out of the bathtub and wearing his robe. Reba was carrying the container of roses.
"What's that doing in here?"
"I want these to be the first thing that you see when you go to bed and the first thing that you see when you wake up in the morning."
"That's very sweet of you, honey. They are really nice." Brock walked over to Reba and kissed her forehead. He put his arms around her and pulled her close. Reba sighed.
"The things I do for you." Reba whispered softly. She gave a thought to what Nana told her earlier about Maggie. What would Brock have to do with her future?
Reba was left to wonder what Barbra Jean would say in the morning. Would Nana's interference stop? Brock wondered what would happen in the morning ….
What will happen to Reba and Brock on Friday's date? Will Barbra Jean reveal what Brock is hiding? Will Barbra Jean give her blessing to Reba going on a date with Brock? What does Barbra Jean intend to do about Brock hiding things from Reba? Will Reba get a sign about who her soul mate is? Will Reba be talking to LovinCowboy84 about her fears? Will readers get to find out what's happening with Lori Ann soon? Who's playing matchmaker for some of the couples in this story? Who will Reba end up with in Vegas?
What happens next? Stay tuned to find out in the next chapter!

I live in the Central time zone. There was a Reba Marathon on Lifetime cable channel on Friday, March 25th. Episode 10 of Working Class aired at 7 p.m. and Episode 9 aired as a repeat at 7:30 p.m. on CMT. Reba aired from 7-10 p.m. and 1-1:30 a.m. on Lifetime. I missed the first hour of the Reba marathon to watch Working Class since episode 10 does not have a repeat airing scheduled yet. I watched the Reba marathon on Lifetime from 8-10 p.m. The Reba pilot aired at 1 a.m. That was how I started to celebrate Reba's birthday and got ready to focus on more Reba fanfic writing. The Reba marathon was so great to watch while writing my fanfics.
Episode 10 that will air on Friday, March 25th, features special guest Lesley Ann Warren as Carli's mom. It is called Medieval Woman. Carli gets more than she bargained for when her man-eater mother takes Pam to a renaissance faire. Lesley Ann Warren has starred in two country music themed movies, Baja Oklahoma (1988) with Julia Roberts and Pure Country (1992) with George Strait. There is no repeat airing of this episode scheduled so far. This episode was great! Pam is so much like Kyra Hart. Carli's mom is ever wackier than Reba's mom. In this episode, Carli mud wrestles to defend the family honor. Carli's mom's name is Barbara Ann. This is funny because Brock's mom called Barbra Jean by the name of Barbara Ann. I liked the name enough to use it in my story.
Episode 11 that will air on Friday, April 1st, features special guest David Faustino as Carli's date. It is called Short, Then Sweet. Carli brings an Internet date to Rob's housewarming party, hoping to prove what a catch she is. Episode 12 will also air that night, featuring the family's move to their current home. I always loved Married with Children. David Faustino is very funny. These episodes will repeat at 12-1 a.m. so feel free to enjoy the Reba marathon on Lifetime from 7-10 p.m. and 1-1:30 a.m. These are the airing times every Friday night for Reba on Lifetime.
