Dear Readers-
Happy Memorial Day! I'm sorry that this chapter is late. I've had to work extra shifts this week.
I'm dedicating this week's chapter to the memory of my grandmother. She passed away on May 31, 1986. I've been thinking about her recently. I've modeled parts of Reba's grandmother's character after her. She was funny, strong, and the head of our family. I did change one part for this story. I imagined what my grandmother would do if she would've lived longer. My grandmother died when I was fourteen. In this story, Reba's grandfather died when she was fourteen. Her grandmother continues to live and guide her through her adult life.
There's a new poll for this story this week. Please vote for your prediction for who LovinCowboy84 really is. I really want your feedback for this one. I want to know what you readers think. Have I left clues that helped you to figure out who he really is?
It's finally September 2008 in the story, but we're heading into October. Reba and Mike will have been dating for about a month now. My next mission is to help Barbra Jean find love. Yes, she stole a husband from Reba, but she has become Reba's best friend and she has a heart of gold.
Let me know that you want me to keep this story going! It would be great to have plenty of feedback for this chapter. Remember your responses keep 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 own 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 own 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), Vince McEntire (Papa), Kenneth Smith (Gramps), Paige McKinney, Michael Davis, John McKinney, Barbara Ann Grant, Kim Campbell-Holliway, Sam Holliway, Jenny Miller, Nick Holliway, Terry Holliway, Jr., Josh Holliway, Madeline Mitchell (Maddi), Greg Brooks, Jason Holliway, Emma Holliway, and Maggie 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 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- "He really loved you, Reba. When I first started working at the dental office, you were all that he would talk about." Barbra Jean explained.
"Ugh, I don't wanna hear that. You are killin' my mood here. I'm in the mood for meaningless sex with a hot guy. I dated Brock and there's a reason why we didn't have sex. Brock is a jerk. He's not sweet or hot, so consider yourself lucky that you got out while you still could, Reba." Lori Ann remarked.
"Well, I wanna get back out there. I wanna dance, drink, and sing. At the end of the night, I've got an awesome guy to make out with on my couch." Reba responded.
"That's a little high school via 1983, you know?" Lori Ann teased.
"Hey, 1983 was a very good year. Hey, Lori Ann! You could pretend that the hot jerk is Terry. Just close your eyes and think of Terry. When I was with Jack, I just closed my eyes and I thought of Mike after awhile. It works and he never knew that when I was callin' out the name Jack it wasn't for him."
Lori Ann and Reba laughed.
Lori Ann went back to join Jack at the bar. Reba wouldn't hear from Lori Ann again until the next day. Barbra Jean and Reba went back to join the guys at their table. Barbra Jean got Reba up on stage to sing karaoke with her. Reba danced and laughed. Barbra Jean asked Mike to dance, which left Reba to ask Brock to dance. Reba danced with Brock in awkward silence. Brock didn't mind that Reba didn't really want to dance with him. He was just grateful that he got to dance with Reba at least once that night, thanks to Barbra Jean.
Brock knew that persistence would work. He just had to stand by and take whatever opportunities opened up for him with Reba. He would be a friend and give her every chance to think about when they were together so she would second guess her decision to be with Mike. Barbra Jean told him about the conversation in the ladies' room. Brock had to smile. Reba said that he was better in bed than Jack Morgan. That was something to help him to stay in a good mood, despite having to watch Reba with Mike. He hated double dating with the two of them, but he wanted to impress Reba and make her uncomfortable at the same time. The plan was for Brock and Barbra Jean to keep on double dating with them. He wondered how long it would take to win Reba back...
What happens next? Stay tuned to find out this chapter!
We left the story in chapter 32 in the present year of the story- September 2008 with Reba double dating with Brock and Barbra Jean. Reba was nervous about her first date again with Mike. Kyra showed up and revealed some embarrassing information about Reba. She also told her grandfather in Oklahoma, leading to another embarrassing conversation between Reba, Mike, and JV. Mike smoothed everything over with JV. Brock and Reba argued about her recent behavior. She revealed that Brock wouldn't have made it through college and dental school if it weren't for her sacrifices. Brock resents it when Reba says that he ruined her life.
Kyra smoothed things over between Brock and Reba. Barbra Jean showed up and Brock gave her flowers. Mike showed up with flowers and gifts for Reba. Reba reveals her jealous side. Brock found out that Mike and Reba were supposed to get married in June when Reba went to Oklahoma. Mike gave Reba her grandmother's locket with a picture of baby John inside. Reba gave Mike her grandfather's watch with an inscription on it. They talk a little bit about their childhood.
When Mike put the locket on Reba, it set off something. It was the final thing that would release Reba's abilities once she'd decided to start casting spells again. Reba panics at the thought of Mike finding out about her abilities. She'd managed to keep that from him all of her life. Mike kissed her and the same electric feeling from all those years ago happened again. It's part of the magic, but Reba isn't causing it. It's one of the signs that Reba is really in love. It's part of her destiny.
Don't panic yet, readers. There are more signs coming. It's her destiny to have to choose between Brock and Mike. Reba talks about how weird it is for Kim to be working so hard to help bring Mike and Reba back together. When Reba commented on this, Barbra Jean defended Kim's actions. Brock got angry when Reba remarked about Barbra Jean helping him find his next wife. Reba made some angry comments about Kim that caused some angry spirit activity in the house. It turns out that Terry has unfinished business with Reba and is haunting her house.
Barbra Jean ran home terrified. Kyra and Brock talk about the kids' plan to interfere with Reba's relationship with Mike and bring Brock and Reba back together. Reba had trouble watching Brock and Barbra Jean together on the date. Brock also had the same problem watching Mike with Reba. Reba was determined to maintain the friendship dynamic going. Despite what LovinCowboy84 said, the two men got along well during the evening. They were about to talk with Reba about old times. Lori Ann started the plan against Jack Morgan going at the bar.
Jack met Mike and realized that Reba really loved Mike and there was nothing he could do about it. Barbra Jean was dancing, kissing, and flirting openly with Jack Morgan, despite Reba's plan. Mike and Reba worked through some past jealousy issues over Kim and Max. Mike got up on stage and sang to Reba. Brock and Reba argued because Reba didn't tell him about how serious her relationship was with Mike. He's hurt that Reba is ready to move on without him. One of Reba's abilities was revealed. She gets visions sometimes when she's touched. That caused her to react in a way that she normally wouldn't, right in front of Brock.
Barbra Jean, Reba, and Lori Ann had girl talk in the ladies' room about Jack Morgan. Reba revealed Jack's lack of skills in the bedroom. Reba reveals that she and Mike are taking things slow right now. She tells Barbra Jean that Brock has only gotten married both times due to pregnancy, not love. Barbra Jean found a way to get Reba to slow dance with Brock. Brock's determined to find a way to win Reba back.
What will happen to Reba and Brock after this double date? What will happen between Lori Ann and Jack on their date? What else does the future hold for Reba and Brock now that Mike is in the picture? Will Dr. Morgan realize that he was set up by Lori Ann and Reba? Who will Lori Ann end up with? Who will Reba end up with in Vegas?
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!

Now on with our next chapter-
At the end of the night, Mike dropped Reba off at the house. He kissed her at her doorstep.
"Would you like to come in? My parents aren't home," Reba teased.
"I don't think so. Your kids are all home. You have the no boys allowed upstairs rule so we can't be alone up there. You wouldn't feel comfortable getting caught making out on the sofa so I'm gonna go now. Thanks for a great night, honey! I love you."
"Somehow I feel like I'm sixteen and I'm goin' into my parents' house. I'll see you in the morning. I love you, too."
Reba leaned in for one last kiss of the night. The porch lights flickered. Reba gave a sigh and headed into the house. Van and Cheyenne were waiting at the door. Reba came into the house. Before she could notice Van and Cheyenne, she leaned against the door. She exhaled a long sigh of contentment.
"Just what are you so happy about, young lady? You are late getting home and we were worried. Then when you do show up, you two are makin' out on the porch like a couple of French people!" Van remarked, angrily.
"Relax, Van. Everything is fine. We decided to take a walk for a little while. You guys are gonna have to get used to seein' me kiss him. I am a grown woman and I should be free to kiss the man that I love in my own house. Especially since I'm stickin' to the same rules that I laid out for you kids- no PDA on the couch while everyone is home and no guests of the opposite sex upstairs at any time. I am perfectly capable of managing my own behavior. If you'll excuse me, I'm goin' to bed. At least, I don't have to worry about gettin' the third degree from Brock. He's out on his divorce date with Barbra Jean. He probably won't be back until morning."
With a springy bounce, she was gone up the stairs. She was humming all the way to her bedroom. Once inside her bedroom, she shut the door and began to change her clothes. She was in her bra and underwear before she heard a sound coming from behind her. Her body stiffened in shock.
"Brock, what are you doin' here? You're supposed to be out with Barbra Jean."
"The date was over and I dropped her off at the house an hour ago. Where were you?"
Reba continued to stand there, arguing with him. She forgot about her state of undress.
"I don't have to answer that. I was told that Barbra Jean wanted an empty house tonight because ya'll were goin' on a divorce date."
"We were out. You were with us. She wanted some time alone. I came back here. I told ya that she needs time and space. Did you see the way that she was acting with Jack Morgan tonight?"
"Yeah, she always does that. You should be used to it by now. So you two had a quickie tonight? I figured that she'd be so excited from being with Dr. Morgan tonight that you two would be together all night long."
"No. I didn't go home with Barbra Jean at all. I've been here. If anyone was out gettin' lucky tonight, it was you."
Reba bit down hard on her lower lip. "No, I was not. We are takin' things slow. Not that I have to clear things with you, but we were out on a walk together. It was very romantic. Like I told Van, I am keeping with the same rules that I gave the kids. It was just a kiss on the porch. What do you expect? Everyone was home. What kind of a mother do ya think that I am?"
Throwing up his hands, Brock sighed. "I wasn't saying anythin' about you as a mother. You're a great mother. I'm just irritated at how smooth Mike tries to be with ya. He's been romancing ya ever since he set foot in this house."
"Can you blame him? I just happen to be an irresistible ex/girlfriend."
Brock's features cloud. "No. So how was the date then?"
"I had a really good time."
"Well, I'm not sure that I like that. Oh, come on, Brock. You made your choice years ago. You're with Barbra Jean. She's your wife."
"I know, Reba. I'm just lookin' out for ya, that's all. He broke your heart once."
"No, you're not. You're uncomfortable seein' me with someone else. It's the same as it was twenty-five years ago. You have a problem because you don't want him to have me. I know how that feels."
"Yeah. We're still friends, aren't we?"
"Brock, maybe you should go on to bed. You know I have to give ya credit. This was the first time that you and I went double dating. It's the first time that you had to watch me go out on a date with someone else. You handled it really well."
"I hope that it works out for ya. Mike is a real nice guy. I just don't wanna see ya get hurt. Believe it or not, Reba, I really do hope that you find someone that makes you happy."
Reba laughed at his remark, doubting his sincerity.
"Okay, I'm jealous as h-, but that's my cross to bear."
Reba smiled. "I thought that BJ was your cross to bear." Amusement flickered in the eyes that met hers.
Just then, rocks were heard hitting her window. She looked out and saw Mike getting a ladder to climb up to her window. Her pride concealed her inner turmoil. She turned to Brock.
"Mike is climbing up to the window. Get in the closet. I don't want him to get the wrong idea."
"Then you might wanna get something on."
Reba looked down at what she was wearing. "Don't be silly. He's seen me naked millions of times. He's fathered my child. My lack of clothing is not a problem. Now shut up and stay put!"
Brock got into her closet, but didn't close the door fully so he could have a peek at what was going on. Reba rushed to the window and opened it. Mike climbed inside the window into Reba's bedroom.
"What are ya doin'? I don't remember this particular game from before." She smirked.
"Sure you do. I'd come over late at night and you'd let me in. We'd watch TV, cuddle, and talk. Come on, no one is gonna find out. I bet Cheyenne snuck Van into her bedroom plenty of times in the past. She is your daughter after all."
Reba put her hands on her hips. "Just what are ya saying about me?"
"Honey, you just let me in through your window and you look so tempting. You always did, even fully clothed."
"Thank you. What do you want?"
"I wanted to give ya the rest of your gifts. It got a little hectic earlier. Honey, I really can't talk to ya until you put some clothes on."
"What's the matter, Jack? It's not like you haven't seen me like this before. Don't ya wanna see more?" she teased.
He stammered and started sweating. She walked towards him. She moved one bra strap down off her shoulder and then the other one. "Gotcha! Did ya really think that I was gonna get naked with the kids home?" She laughed and walked over to the closet. She opened it slightly and Brock handed her a robe quickly. She put it on. "Come on, I was only playin' around."
"I'm tryin' to be a gentleman here. We are not gonna do anythin' like that in this house while your kids are home and we aren't ever gonna do anythin' in that bed."
Reba put her hands on her hips. "Please explain."
"After that night when I brought ya home drunk, I decided that we weren't gonna ever do anything in that bed ever again. I'm reminded of how we were in the bed kissin' and you called me Brock. This is a bed that you once shared with him. That makes me very uncomfortable. We need to make new memories over at my place."
She walked up to him and gently put her hand on his shoulder. They sat down on the bed together. "Okay, I understand that. I'm sorry. So what do you have for me?"
Mike handed her a photo album with lavender roses on the front. He also handed her a book with a leather binding.
She opened the photo album and briefly flipped through some pages. The album began with pictures from their childhood. "You even have photos of Brock in here."
Mike took her hands in his. "The one thing that I realized since I got here is that Brock is an important part of our lives. He was my best friend. I couldn't imagine going through junior high, high school, and college without him. You have a past with him, too. You two share children together. We can't erase any of that and I wouldn't want to. It could've been worse. You coulda ended up married to a really bad guy for the rest of your life and been really unhappy. Brock had his shot and now I get mine. I'm not messin' things up this time. Check out the other book."
Reba opened the book with the leather binding. "It's my grandmother's marriage guide. You made it into a real book. You added my one fact from six years ago. There are three things that are important to a man: a sexy woman, a sandwich, and a sexy woman making him a sandwich. Aww! Thank you."
"Should I thank Brock for givin' us that bit of wisdom?"
"Another time, Jack. You even have blank pages in the back."
"I want ya to add more to the guide for our children and grandchildren."
Reba smiled. She raised her hand up to stroke his cheek. "I don't think that you know how much this means to me. You got me gifts that mean so much and are priceless."
"You mean so much to me, honey. So what about the specialist? What are you plannin' to do?"
"My appointment is on Tuesday. Would ya go with me?"
"Does that mean what I think it means?"
"Let's have a baby together."
"We're gonna have a baby!" Mike said, excitedly. He picked Reba up and swung her around.
"Well you can't throw away my birth control pills this time. I stopped takin' them in June. They're all out of my system. So when are we gonna do this?"
"When you marry me. I told ya before. I want us to get married first. Don't you wanna get married before havin' a baby this time?"
"I'm not sure. I'm not good at bein' married. I didn't enjoy it before. Both marriages ended very badly."
"I'll spend the rest of our lives makin' that up to ya. I love ya, Sal! Please believe me."
"I know, honey. We're okay. I love you, too. Just be patient with me."
Mike put his arms around her and held her tightly against him. Reba pulled away. She had tears in her eyes. "I have another gift for you, too." Reba went to the closet, opened it slightly, and grabbed a large notebook off a nearby shelf.
"Here. I want ya to have this. It's my journal from 1983 and 1984. I was looking at this recently. I want ya to have it. I want ya to know what I'm thinking and feeling. I don't want to ever hide my feelings and fears from you ever again. I think that there is so much that we still have to learn from each other."
Mike kissed her again softly and climbed out her window again. When he was gone, Brock came out. "Reba, why don't we ever fully communicate? Why don't you let me in like that? Maybe things coulda gone differently if you'd have let me in."
"Here's a tip, Brock. You should date a woman longer than two months before you impregnate and marry her. You didn't even take the time to get to know me, the real me."
"I know you."
"No, you know the angry, sad ex-wife version of me that I've become over the years. That's not who I am inside. That's not who I was all along. Can you honestly say that you really know me?"
"I've shared some of the most important moments in our lives. So I can say that in those moments, I knew the real you."
"Alright, Brock. There have been times when you were there for me even when you didn't have to be. I thank you for that. This divorce is just too nice. Why don't ya go to bed now?"
Brock walked to the door. Reba kissed him on the cheek and then Brock left.
Soon, Mike and Reba had been dating for about a month. Lori Ann was talking with Reba in her kitchen. A brunette woman whose hair was streaked with pink and blue entered through the front door without knocking. Brock had been eavesdropping on Lori Ann and Reba's conversation. He was standing near the doorway in the dining room area. The woman walked up to him.
"Whatcha doin'?" she whispered.
Brock was startled by the woman who approached him. He looked her over. Her face looked somewhat familiar to him. "Who are you?"
"I'm Paige, Reba's sister. You must be Brock. You're the one that slept with my sister last June, aren't ya? I knew it. She doesn't have casual sex with random strangers. There's no way that she could convince me of that. What are ya doin'?"
"I am Brock. I refuse to comment on Reba's sex life. I am no longer a part of her love life and I haven't been for a long time. We're friends, but she's in there talkin' to Lori Ann. I didn't want to interrupt."
"Sure. You're just as sneaky as we are. Welcome to the family. Reba is the biggest schemer that I know. I bet she's in there right now discussing some awesome scheme that she planned with Lori Ann. You looked shocked. It's a McKinney/O'Hara thing."
"It's a pleasure to meet ya. I am shocked. You are exactly like Reba when she was younger, except for the hair."
"The hair really makes my dad and Helen mad. I think that it's looks cool. I'm like Reba because she practically raised me. She's the best big sister in the world. Now hush, I wanna hear the good dirt."
Lori Ann and Reba were talking about her relationship with Dr. Jack Morgan. He still hadn't figured out that he was set up by Lori Ann and Reba. That night, he took Lori Ann back to his house. Reba had called Cheryl anonymously to let her know that Jack had another woman in his bed. She came in and caught them red handed in the act in his bed. Cheryl never told Jack that she had been tipped off. She yelled at him and hit him while he stood there, shocked and naked. She broke up with him after warning Lori Ann that Jack was unable to be faithful to any woman and that he was the worst lover that she'd ever had.
He didn't even know that Lori Ann's reactions were scripted. She stayed while he fell apart. They made love again. Lori Ann left his house before morning. He woke up as she was leaving and asked for her phone number. They exchanged phone numbers. He called her the next day. They began regularly dating ever since.
Lori Ann still feels some guilt over how their relationship began. Dr. Jack Morgan was one of the most open and honest men that she'd ever met. After years of lying and cheating on women, he'd finally learned that he had to change his ways in order to keep a woman in his life. Lori Ann had been there in the most embarrassing and humiliating moment of his life. She listened to his problems. She didn't share much about herself and she enjoyed sex with him frequently. She seemed to be the perfect woman for him. She was enjoying herself with Dr. Jack Morgan and she'd hoped that he wouldn't find out the truth about her for awhile.
Reba was conflicted. She enjoyed spending time with Mike more and more, but it was hard to concentrate on that relationship when Brock was nearby. He was always around at home. He and Barbra Jean joined Mike and Reba for most of the things that they did together when they weren't in school. They joined in for gourmet cooking classes, dance lessons, going to the movies, and watching TV in Reba's living room. Reba was having a great time. Their friendship was enriched. Brock was learning more about Reba.
Reba was impressed that Brock was willing to dance and cook in order to become a better husband. Barbra Jean seemed to be happier with Brock while the two couples spent time together. Any other time, she didn't seem to want to work on her marriage. Reba felt bad for Brock. She was confused. She was happy with Mike, but she felt so sad for Brock. She had these feelings that made her want to reach out to him as more than just a friend. She knew that he was working hard to become a better man and he had a wife who didn't appreciate him for it.
She was talking with Lori Ann about her conflicted feelings for Brock. She revealed the truth about her weekend with Brock in June. Lori Ann was shocked, but supportive. Paige decided to act before Brock could hear anymore. Barbra Jean had just walked into the kitchen through the back door. She decided to have some fun.
"Do you mind if I have some fun with BJ, the bimbo?" Paige asked Brock excitedly.
Brock was clearly amused and interested to see what Paige had in mind. He nodded and smiled. Paige stepped back for a moment. She waved her hands in front of her from the top of her head to her toes. She started to shimmer and change into Reba before his very eyes.
"Wow! Can she do that?" he asked, pointing at Reba. Paige nodded and walked into the kitchen.
When Reba saw Paige, she was shocked. She didn't know what Paige was up to. She didn't even know that Paige had any abilities. Lori Ann knew about Reba's abilities so she wanted to find out how Barbra Jean would react to seeing two Rebas in her kitchen. Brock was curious to see what would happen also. Barbra Jean's eyes grew wide at seeing two Rebas in front of her eyes.
"Well howdy, Reba. How are you doin' today?" she asked.
"Fine, Barbra Jean. How are you?" Paige responded.
Barbra Jean walked up to Reba and Paige. "Reba, am I seeing things? There are two of you."
"Really? Where?" Paige responded.
"You really need some rest, Barbra Jean. You've been working too hard." Reba remarked.
Barbra Jean's eyes grew wide and frightened. She turned and ran out the back door. Reba and Paige laughed. "That was great!" Paige exclaimed.
"Change back, Paige." Reba ordered.
"No way! I wanna have some fun with Bro first. Okay, Mamacita?"
"What did ya just call me?"
"Little mother. Gosh, chill out! I heard that you and Mike were tryin' to have a baby. I call Mike 'Bro' now because he's family since you two are havin' a baby. I figured that he'd be part of the family soon since he'll be my new brother-in-law."
"I see that you've met Brock. Don't call him 'Bro'. He was your brother-in-law a very long, long time ago. Okay, you can stay like that for a little bit. It'll be a good way to bring up the subject with Mike. Maybe it'll be fun. Let's see if he knows who the real Reba is."
Mike walked in through the front door. Paige and Reba entered the living room, followed by Lori Ann and Brock. Mike's mouth flew open. "Did you know about this?" he asked Lori Ann and Brock.
"Of course, I've always known. I'm her best friend. She's had her abilities since she was a little girl."
"No, man, I'm just seeing this for the first time today and I was married to her for eighteen years. I'm just as shocked as you are."
"Why am I not surprised? Everyone in town knows about the O'Haras. You are an O'Hara. Your grandmother is Cheyenne O'Hara McEntire Smith. I've known you for thirty-seven years and I had my suspicions but you always had an explanation for everything. You always said that I dreamed it when strange things happened. Why?"
"Everything will be explained later. This is a test," Paige answered.
"You have to figure out who the real Reba is." Reba explained.
"Is that why you have this version of the Parent Trap goin' on right now?"
"Heck, yeah!" Reba and Paige answered in unison.
"I bet you find this totally amusing, this little twin experiment that she's got going. Because you would know all about that kind of thing, wouldn't ya?" Mike remarked to Brock.
"No, I didn't have anythin' to do with this. I promise."
"Focus, Mike." Paige instructed.
"Come on, Reba. Don't tell me that Brock hasn't pulled this on you before."
Reba and Paige looked at each other. They both shook their heads.
"I'd like to see how long this takes you boys to figure out." Lori Ann quipped.
Just then, Van walked into the living room. "Whoa, two Mrs. Hs! What is goin' on here?" he stood there dumbstruck.
Reba was tickled at how much fun this was. She'd always wished that she'd a sister with abilities like her. Now she did. She'd always had fun with Paige before. She'd wondered how much fun and how much trouble Paige was going to get her into. She wondered how her family was going to react to suddenly having a family member that they knew about. Lori Ann wondered if Mike was going to be able to win Reba's challenge. She wondered what Reba would do next. She was always more fun when Paige was around. Brock was stunned and amused. He didn't know what to think about this. It was an interesting situation though. It was a situation that he actually had some experience with. So she has a sister that she never told him about and he has a brother that he never told her. He loved Reba's fun side. It was a side that he hadn't had a chance to see much of. Reba was right. She had changed from that fun loving person that he fell in love with. He did that to her. He wanted to help her get over the hurt and damage from the past. How could he win Reba back with Mike in the picture?...
Would Mike be able pick the real Reba and pass her test? What will happen between Reba and Brock now? When will Brock tell Reba about his brother? When will Paige tell Reba about her engagement? What will happen when Reba meets Paige's fiancé? Who will Reba end up with in Vegas?

Shout out to FakeCubicZirconium: Thanks for letting me keep Jack Morgan around because Lori Ann needs someone to love. They seem to be a good match. I promise that he will suffer emotional distress in this story. He will not be allowed to stay happy.
I want to express my special thanks to the following people who have given me valuable support.
