Reba and Kevin continued dating for a few months. He was over so much everyone just considered him part of the family already. Reba was so happy, so much more cheerful then she normally was. The family loved seeing her this way, and they were all so happy for her.
Reba was sitting on the couch, lying in Kevin's arms reading a book while he was watching TV. This is how they had spent most of their evenings when they didn't go out. Reba could enjoy anything as long as it was with Kevin.
Jake came down the stairs, "Mom?"
Reba sat down her book and asked "Yes?"
"What are we having for dinner? I'm getting hungry," Reba then realized she forgot dinner. "Oh, shoot!"
"Pizza it is," Kevin said with a smile, as he push Reba up just a little so he could get up and go get the phone.
Jake laughed and went to sit next to his mom. "Is Kevin going to be my new daddy?" he asked. He didn't seem too worried; everyone liked Kevin at this point.
"Well, not right now but maybe someday. And you know that no one is going to take your father's place as your dad. You would just get another dad, a step-dad," Reba told her son.
"Ok," Jake said with smile. He got up and went to play a video game. Reba let out a laugh as Jake ran up the stairs. Kevin walked back into the living room and re-claimed his favorite spot as Reba's pillow.
"Twenty minutes," he stated while getting comfy again and picking up a piece of Reba's hair to play with.
"Ok, hey, so Jake just asked me a funny question," Reba told him and he looked at her to continue talking, "He asked me if you were going to be his new daddy. Where do you think we're going to end up?" She asked him. She turned around to face him and he let go of the strand of hair he had in his hands.
"I don't know. Where do you want us to be?" He turned the question back at her.
She didn't really know where she wanted to be, but she knew that no matter where she was she wanted to be with Kevin. So, that is what she told him.
"Ok, then…Reba Hart…will you marry me?" He asked pulling a ring out of his pocket. "I've had it with me for a month now. I've just been waiting for the perfect time. I can't see myself with out you, Reba. Please make me the happiest man in the word. Marry me."
Reba was a little shocked. She loved Kevin, and Kevin loved her. All she was afraid of was getting hurt like Brock had hurt her before. But if this was her second chance at happiness the thought that might be a risk she was willing to take...
