"I love you," Brock told her. She was sitting on her couch, well, Brock was—she was sitting happily on his lap. He placed his hand on her cheek, "Promise me you will never leave me?"

She wanted to tell him that she loved him too, and that she did promise never to leave him. She wanted to stay here in his arms forever, but suddenly she left that something was pulling her away from Brock. "Reba?" he turned his head to the side, "Reba!" Then Brock was gone. She was suddenly sitting on her bed at home. She didn't want to be here; it was cold and lonely here.

As she turned to her left she saw Kevin. A feeling of horror washed over her. She tried to run for the door, but it kept moving away from her. She looked back to see Kevin standing behind her. She was running so fast, but she wasn't moving. She turned back to look at her bedroom door, but it was gone.

Then, Reba heard a beeping noise in the distance. She closed her eyes, and felt that she was falling, and the annoying beeping got a tiny bit louder.

Reba jolted awake, catching herself from crashing to the ground. Her eyes hurt when she tried to open them, wherever she was lying was incredibly bright. That beeping noise that she had heard was still there, louder than ever.

Once she finally got her eyes to fully open, she saw Brock sitting next to her. "Reba?" he asked. She turned to get a better view of him. Where was she?

"Hey, you awake?" he stood up. She saw him reach over her head and mess with something behind her, "Don't move around, ok?" Reba gave him a confused look. What on Earth is he talking about!?

A man in a white coat came into the room, "You beeped me?"

"Yea, she's up," he told him point to Reba.

The man walked over to her, "Where am I?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

"You're in the hospital. If it wasn't for your friends you might not have made it out of the house!"

"Wh-," she started to ask. She stopped herself. Some of the events from the night with Kevin came back to her. Kevin hitting her, and her trying to get out, and finally BJ hitting him and Brock trying to keep her up. "Oh!" she gasped.

The man, who Reba now realized was a doctor, turned in Brock's direction, "She should be fine. Just watch her, and make sure she stays awake for at least 8 hours. You can explain the situation to her?" he asked. He was being paged and he had to go.

"Uh huh," Brock watched him leave. Reba turned, following that annoying beeping sound, and then she realized it was a monitor that she was hooked up to. Was this really as serious as it sounded?

"What's going on?" she asked. She wanted to know everything.

"What do you remember?" he followed her question with one of his own.

"I went upstairs to get a sweatshirt because I was cold, and when I got back down the stairs he was there," she tried to think. After a few seconds she remembered it all so vividly, she cringed and continued, "He was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. He didn't seem mad until he pulled out the test. I don't know how, but he found it!" All of a sudden Reba turned a ghostly shade of white, she tried to take a deep breathe in but her lungs wouldn't let her, "The baby…" she whispered. She felt her heart sink. Had they lost the baby?

Brock smiled, he was now sitting on the side of her bed. He put a hand on her shoulder. He let out a relieved laugh, "The baby is just fine."

He reached out and picked up Reba's hand, "What else happened?"

Reba was so relieved that they hadn't lost the baby! It was then that she realized she really did want this baby. She was so deep in thought that she forgot about what they were talking about for a minute, "Um," she was trying to think, "I was really tired and I when he pulled me off the banister I fell. He dragged me to the couch and started to hitting me with the remote while yelling something about payback," Reba shuddered and continued her story, "Then, I kicked him and he fell, so I ran for the door, but by the time I had unlocked it he was there."

"Then BJ came in and hit him?" he asked. Reba nodded.

"Where is Kevin?" Reba asked, fearing what he would do to her if he found her again.

"Well, he was here getting his head looked at, and then they released him. He told the doctors you fell down the stairs and when he tired to wake you up it interpreted the wrong way by Barbra Jean," he gave it a little thought. Kevin was good at this. He didn't know how they were going to put him away, but he knew they would eventually.

That scared Reba a little, but she kept up with the questions, "How long have I been here?"

"Not too long. All this happened last night, and it's…," Brock stopped to look at his watch, "…a quarter to 8:00 a.m. You were never one to sleep in," he teased. They both laughed for a minute.

Reba let out a sigh, "When can I go home?"

"Good question, wrong person to ask. We'll have to wait for the doctor to come back."

So they waited, and talked. They talked all about their plans for the future. Brock told her that the divorce papers came in the mail today and BJ brought them to Kevin to sign, which he did. As soon as the papers were finalized they planned on getting married. "Now I see why you wanted me to sign the papers for you and BJ to get married before we were fully divorced!" she told him jokingly.

They continued talking about baby names, and even where they would be living. About and hour later the doctor came back in to check on things. Reba was feeling fine, and when they asked when she could go home he told her tomorrow.

As soon as the doctor left Reba let out a big sigh of frustration.

"Aw, sweetie, I'm sorry, at least you don't have to be longer and you, or the baby, weren't seriously hurt!" he said encouragingly. Reba nodded, and she knew he was right. To make her feel a little better Brock leaned forward and gave her a passionate kiss. Brock was laughing as he started to break away—he could hear the heart monitor they had on Reba's heart increase in speed, "You really do love me don't you?" he asked still laughing.

"No!" she said sarcastically, "I'm re-marrying you, and having another one of your children out of spite!" she said laughing with him.

"Darn, I knew it was too good to be true," he joked.

After the full 8 hours has passed (because he knew that if he left her she would fall asleep) Brock knew that he needed to go make sure the family was doing ok without them. He smiled and gave her a quick kiss, "Ok, I'm going home to make sure the house is still in one piece!" Reba giggled.

"Alright," Reba received another kiss, "I love you," she told him.

"Love you too!" With that he left. Shortly there after, as he had expected, she fell asleep. She didn't know how long she had been sleeping, but when she woke up she felt that someone was watching her. She turned to find Kevin sitting in the chair next to you. She jumped a little at the sight of him and suddenly started to panic.

"Shhhh…" Kevin whispered to her, "It's ok," he told her as he reached for her hand. Reba pulled her hand away and stared at him in disgust.

"I got the papers," he told her, "I know you didn't mean it, and I'm willing to forgive you," he stated. Reba didn't know what he was trying to do, but he continued talking, "I don't what they are trying to do, but they have been making up a bunch of lies. They told me some crazy story about me hurting you. You know I would never do that!"

Reba looked at him with a confused gaze, "Then what did happen?" she challenged.

"Well, you went upstairs to get a sweatshirt and then when you came back down you tripped and fell down the stairs. You were unconscious so I tried to pick you up and shake you awake, but Barbra Jean walked in and got the wrong idea," he told her. He was making this story completely believable, but Reba didn't give in.

"And what about the baby?" she continued to push. She could tell that he was tensing up, but she thought that he wouldn't be able to hurt her here.

"What baby?" he asked. He was obviously playing dumb.

"You know just as well as I do that I'm pregnant, Kevin!" she was getting frustrated with this game, "And I don't need your forgiveness! I want a divorce!"

"Without me you won't survive!" he yelled at her. He was getting angry, fast, "And if you divorce me I will fight for my rights with this child!" he threatened.

"The baby isn't yours and you know it," she glared at him. Just as Kevin pulled his hand back to hit her Brock walked into the room. Reba tensed up and closed her eyes, just waiting for what was going to happen. When nothing happened Reba opened her eyes. Brock had Kevin's hand in his own.

"I think that it's time you leave," he said calmly.

"Consider yourself on your own," he told Reba before he stormed out. Reba noticed that her hand was shaking as Brock picked it up, "Are you ok? Did he hurt you?"

"I'm fine," she told him. Brock really was her hero. He had saved her so many times through this whole Kevin problem. Reba took a ragged breath, "How is everyone at home?"

"They are fine. Kevin hasn't been there, but they changed the locks just incase," he looked down at the bed then said, "Look, Reba, I'm so sorry this happened to you. If I wouldn't have left you wouldn't have ever been in this situation."

"Brock…you can't blame yourself. It's not your fault that I just picked the wrong guy," she reassured him, "But don't worry. I've got you now," she said with a smile. Brock smiled back at her, "It's getting late, and you should go home. You have to come back bright and early tomorrow and get me out of here!" She was so happy she was finally leaving! She had only been here a few days, but it seemed like forever.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here all night!"

"Brock, you don't have to stay."

"Don't worry," he told her. He laid down on the bed next to her, "I want to stay."

They laid there and talked for about an hour, and then she fell asleep in Brock's arms. She was always so safe there. She slept soundly all night and after she woke up the doctor gave her the 'ok' to leave.

But no one knew when Kevin would show up again…
