Now on with the story-
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- Reba stood there, motionless. Mike greeted the man with a hearty handshake and a hug. Barbra Jean greeted him nervously. Mike brought the man over to meet Reba. "Reba, this is my buddy, Brock Hart. Brock, this is my ex-wife, Reba."
Brock was so thrilled to be face to face with Reba. He found it ironic that she was wearing the same clothing from their June date back in his reality. She was wearing the same Indian/Gypsy dress. The square-cut, strapless bodice was made of lavender silk and the three tiered skirt was fashioned of row upon row of different bands of silk ranging in color from lavender to mauve to palest pink. A huge black chiffon rose with lavender and gold center was nestled at the waist. She also had on a pair of high-heeled, strappy black sandals to match the dress.
Brock handed Reba a large assortment of pastel and hot pink roses and peach toned spray roses. Nervously, she moistened her dry lips. He strolled forward and extended his hand in a friendly greeting. She met the smile and the hand that was offered. His smile sent her pulse racing. Her smile was eager and alive with delight. Her eyes brightened with pleasure. He felt as if he had been transported back to the first time that they met before in his version of 1981.
Her alabaster face had a musk-rose flush on her cheekbones. He drank in the sight of her. Her bright copper hair gleamed with shadows of rich red, which hung in long graceful curves over her shoulders. Wispy bangs fell across her forehead. He was momentarily speechless as he looked at her gentle, overwhelming beauty. While Brock held his gaze on Reba, Reba couldn't help but take in the sight of Brock. There was a glint of humor in his eyes.
Reba saw something else in his eyes that she couldn't quite identify. He stood there, devilishly handsome. She took in his tempting, attractive male physique. His smile was wide, his teeth strikingly white in his tanned face. He had thick goldenrod hair. She took in the tantalizing smell of his musk-scented cologne. Lightly, he fingered a loose tendril of hair on her cheek.
"Hi. They're lovely. Thank you, Brock." Reba said softly. She tried to find her voice to begin talking again before she looked as foolish as she felt. "You look familiar. Don't I know you from somewhere?" Reba began again nervously.
Mike looked at her in surprise. "Honey, I know that it's been years, but Brock was at our wedding."
"I think that I would've remembered if he was at our wedding. Everyone in town came to our wedding," Reba responded.
"Not that wedding, Sal. The one in Vegas."
Brock grinned at that information. John D had said that he'd figure things out sooner or later. He wondered if the events in 1983 in Vegas from this reality happened the same way that they happened in his reality back then. He was still figuring out bits and pieces about his new life in this reality. He still had a lot of questions, but things looked very promising so far...
What will happen now? What will happen on Reba's date with Brock? What is Brock's life in this other reality? What will Max's reaction be when he sees Reba with Brock? How much longer will she keep seeing Max? Will Brock get the chance to win Reba's heart again in this other reality or will he fail and wind up back in his reality alone?
What happens next? Stay tuned to find out this chapter!
The answers to these questions will be revealed as you read the story. Here is the latest installment of It's a Wonderful Life.
Now on with our next chapter-
"Oh, you were with us in Vegas?" Reba asked nervously, setting the bouquet beside her on the bar counter.
"Not exactly. I took a late flight from Dallas so I missed all of the pre-wedding festivities."
"Well, that was definitely the highlight of the trip. If you remember, it went downhill from there."
Brock nodded. Mike protested. "Hey, despite how it ended, that was a really great time for us. We were really happy."
Reba felt her temper flare. "I got pregnant and left at the altar. Not exactly the highlight of my life."
"We did eventually have a wedding, a pretty great one plus two great kids together. I wouldn't exactly call that a failure."
"No, but it did lead to some interesting life lessons along the way. I would've hoped that we'd learned something about life and marriage when the homewrecker came along."
Barbra Jean overheard the comment. "Is she callin' me "the homewrecker" again?"
"If the shoe fits, BJ. We had spent a lifetime together and then you came along."
"Really, Reba? I thought that the first sign of trouble was when you married another man and passed the kid off as his."
Reba leaped towards Barbra Jean to strike out against her comment. Mike and Brock flew into action. Mike wrapped his arms around Barbra Jean and pulled her away from Reba's wrath. Brock also wrapped his arms around Reba's waist to restrain her from taking action against BJ. It was a situation that Brock was all too familiar with in his reality. Unfortunately for Reba, her children witnessed that little scene. Max came walking into the bar with Van and the children rushed over to tell him about what happened.
"Dad, you should've seen Mom. She almost clobbered BJ. It was so cool!" Jake gushed.
Max was instantly filled with concern for Reba. "Reba honey, are you okay?" Reba was filled with guilt when she saw Max looking at her so tenderly.
"Yes, I'm fine. I let the little tramp get to me, that's all. It was stupid. The mo-ron let her run her mouth off at me," Reba explained, as if it weren't any big deal.
Max decided to introduce himself to the newcomer. "Hi, I'm Max Thornton. I'm Reba's ex-husband and these are our children. Would you stay with her for a minute? I'll be right back."
Max went over to the bar counter to get Reba a glass of wine. He yelled at Mike for allowing Reba to get so upset. He was very worried about her high blood pressure. He brought the wine over to Reba. "Here, this should ease your nerves. I can't believe that jerk let this happen. He knows that you have high blood pressure. I'm gonna talk to the kids. I promise that I'll get them out of here as soon as I can so you can enjoy your evening. I brought Van over to see Cheyenne. Did you know that he was comin' to town?"
Reba nodded. "Wait! As long as everyone's here, we might as well introduce everyone to Brock. He's an old friend of the family. I'll make the introductions brief. Max, this is Brock Hart. He's an old friend of Mike's. He's also Barbra Jean's ex-husband and Henry's father." John had walked up to the trio and shared a laugh with Max. "Max, don't encourage his hostility."
"I'm not. As much as you don't like to admit it anymore, we were married when we brought John in the world. That's makes him as much my son as he is yours. We raised him together. He was fifteen when Mike entered the picture. I'm not looking to take our son's affections away from Mike. John has a pair of eyes like everyone else around here. He is an adult with opinions of his own and he doesn't like the way that Mike treats you, okay? You deserve better than that. He's with her again, baby. You've got to know when to throw in the towel."
"I don't want to argue with you tonight, Max, especially not in front of a guest. I'm gonna introduce him to the kids and then you can take them back to your place." Max nodded. Reba brought Jake over to meet Brock. "Brock, this is our son –Jake. He's fourteen and plays on the basketball team."
Jake was polite and shook Brock's hand. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Hart."
Brock was enthusiastic in his response to Jake's handshake. "It's nice to meet you, too. So, you play basketball? What position do you play?"
"Point guard." Brock was clearly surprised by Jake's answer. In his reality, the only way that Jake could get on a basketball team was by pretending to be handicapped.
"Yeah, we're all really proud of him. Mike coaches the team. He coaches the high school football team, too." Reba glanced at Jake with pride written all over her features and heard through her voice. "You have to get going with your dad so I gonna introduce the rest of the kids," Reba said to Jake. She turned to Brock as Cheyenne and Van walked over. "Brock, this is our daughter –Cheyenne and her friend, Van."
Van's expression clouded over as Reba spoke. Brock recognized that look instantly and knew what Van must have been feeling inside. Brock carried that look and those feelings for the last six years every time Reba introduced him to others. "Mrs. H, I'm a little more than that."
"Van, you're lucky that I even call you Cheyenne's friend after what you've done to her. You've broken her heart before and now you're back to do it again."
"Mrs. H, I swear to you that I am not trying to hurt Cheyenne. She is the mother of my child. She was my wife. We don't know where we're going with this, but we know that we want to try again. That should be good enough for you if it's good enough for Cheyenne. We're old enough now to make these decisions on our own."
Max's friendly expression changed as he heard Van call Reba Mrs. H. "Mrs. H? That's not even your name anymore. I thought that you were moving past that, especially since it looks like Mike has found a new Mrs. Holliway in his future."
Reba's eyes blazed with emotion. "You know what, if I wanna be Reba Holliway, I'm gonna be Reba Holliway. It's my decision. All I know is that I've kept the name because I value it so much more than my time as Reba Thornton."
"Mom! Can't you guys take this fight away so we don't have to hear it? Think of Jake," Cheyenne urged.
Reba and Max walked outside to continue the argument away from the public eye. Cheyenne and Van's expressions beamed as soon as Reba left the room. "Van, you are a genius. I think that we've got Mom off our backs for the rest of the night. I thought that Dad was gonna blow a gasket right there when you called her Mrs. H."
Brock was dumbfounded. "You two wanted that to happen? You wanted your parents to fight?"
Cheyenne smiled. "Yeah, my mom is very judgmental about my relationship with Van. Van is my ex-husband and the father of my child. Things didn't work out between us before so Mom thinks that we should leave well enough alone. We disagree. Just because she's had a hard time in the romance department doesn't mean that it can't work out for us. It can work out if we want to try hard enough this time."
"We needed a distraction and things were getting too cozy. I saw Max's hands headed straight for Mrs. H's butt while she was talking and she's on a date with another man."
"I know. I saw that. How long do you think it will be before he tries to make another move on Mom again?"
"Definitely tomorrow. I bet you ten bucks that he tries to get her into bed tomorrow."
"Really? I'll take that bet, but I betcha twenty bucks that he shows up at Mom's tonight to make a move."
Brock is still shocked by Cheyenne's attitude. He missed her usual attitude of 'Don't be gross, Van. Those are my parents.' He was curious enough to find out more about Reba's situation. Cheyenne was apparently bold enough to discuss it in public. "You're betting on your parents' love life?"
"Only because my parents deserve better. They are all wrong for each other. They each deserve to be with someone they love who loves them back and makes them happy. My mom's relationship with my dad isn't healthy."
"Which sucks for you, dude, because you're on a date with her tonight. Mrs. H is stuck in a vicious cycle."
"Yeah, my dad is totally in love with her, but she doesn't love him back. He's still trying to win her back. Mom's with Dad again, even though she denies it. She's with him because she's lonely and having an affair is less of a commitment. My dad will accept anything from her at this point."
"So basically, Mrs. H is in love with Mr. H. Mr. H is with Barbra Jean. Mrs. H is desperate enough to wait to win him back. Mrs. H is with Max, who's desperately in love with her. She's made it painfully obvious that she doesn't feel the same way. Now, he's dating Kim Campbell to get her attention, which is sad because we think that Kim may be someone who could make Max really happy."
"Mom says that her kids' opinion is important to her, but she isn't listening to any of us on this one. None of us want Mom to be with my dad because she doesn't really love him and he deserves to be with someone who will love him. None of us want Mom to be with Mike because she turns into a totally different person when she's around him and that's a bad thing. Her self-esteem suffers when she's with him. They had a good thing goin' once. They had a really great marriage, but things changed after they lost the baby.
She was really hurting and she took it out on him. They stopped communicating. Our situation caused a lot of added stress in their lives and they ended up separated. That's when he met Barbra Jean. As soon as she found out that they were sleepin' together, she filed for divorce and she's regretted it ever since. They've actually gotten along better and started working better together since the divorce, which is great for us kids. Unfortunately, Mom has taken it as a sign that she and Mike could try to get back together again. That's when Barbra Jean came back into our lives. It's really time for Mom to let go. If Mike wanted her back, he wouldn't be with Barbra Jean again."
Van and Cheyenne got quiet because Reba came back over to where they were standing. "So I see that my daughter has kept you company while I was gone. So, what did I miss?"
"Not much, Mom. We were waiting for you to come back before introducing him to anyone else."
"Well, Cheyenne's daughter, Elizabeth will be downstairs any minute now to go home with her grandpa tonight. You'll meet her then. I still have two other kids for you to meet." Reba called Kyra over. "Brock, this is my daughter, Kyra. Kyra and John are my children with Mike."
"And we're stickin' around tonight. It's nice to meet ya. I'm so glad that you're on a date with my mom tonight." Kyra said, shaking his hand.
"Thanks. So, are you in college or working? Your father and I hadn't caught up on each other's lives in awhile."
"I'm in college, studying music. I work here for my father. He lets my band sing here on the weekends. Sometimes I babysit Henry. He's a really great kid."
"Well, thank you. I think that your mom is lucky to have a kid like you. It's nice to see someone so young who's so responsible and goal-driven."
"Thanks." Kyra responded to Brock, before leaning over to whisper to Cheyenne. "I like this guy."
"Me, too. I think that he might be a good match for Mom."
Kyra and Cheyenne beamed their approval in their expressions. Reba persuaded John to come back over to meet Brock. "Brock, this is my son, John. He runs Frontier's Restaurant and he helps us out around here. He and Kyra have inherited both of their parents' musical talent. We're really proud of the kids. Of course, Sam and Jenny are finishing college and getting married. Mike is gonna be a grandpa for the first time. They couldn't be here tonight. Josh is upstairs babysitting for Henry and Terry."
"My mother also has three other stepchildren who call her Mom and they couldn't be here tonight either."
"John McKinney Th..." Reba stopped what she was saying when she saw Mike looking in their direction. The last thing that she wanted to do was hurt him by reminding him that his firstborn son still didn't carry his name.
"You can't even say it, can you? I love my dad. He loves us and we're a family. You're messin' up what we have by insisting that Kyra and I have a relationship with a man, who missed half of our lives, simply because we share a biological link with him. They are some decisions that you did right. Dad was one of them, even if you aren't really together anymore. If you don't believe me, then just ask Cheyenne and Jake. It takes around five minutes or so to conceive a child on the average. Mike didn't even stick around after that. Dad spent fourteen years as your husband and he's spent twenty-four years being my dad. That counts just as much as Mike's biological claim to fatherhood. Mike had unprotected sex with you, left you at the altar, and didn't even stop to think about the consequences. I have a right to my feelings."
Reba put her hand on his shoulder. "I know that you do. I want you to give him a chance. It won't diminish your relationship with your dad. We're still a family, a really big tangled mess, but still a family. There's always room for more. Gaining another member of the family shouldn't be treated as a bad thing. Love always has room to grow. Take Kyra for example, she is makin' the best of the situation by tryin' to give your father the benefit of the doubt. Whatever happens, at least she's tryin' to get to know him. She still goes to your dad's house on the weekends. She's even met Kim. Just try to make the best of things. If it doesn't work out, then at least you can say that you tried."
"I want to, Mom, but look how he treats you."
"Your father and I have issues that have nothing to do with you and Kyra. Try to remember that. My relationship with your father should have nothing to do with your relationship with him or Kyra's relationship with him. Okay?"
"Okay, Mom. I'll try." John turned back to Brock. "Hi. I'm sorry. I'm John Thornton. I get my temper from my mother. I played high school football like Van did." John continued to talk while Brock studied him.
John looked so much different than Brock had expected. Here he was right in the middle of a reality that had always been Reba's fantasy. John was alive and well. It was hard for Brock to think of him as anything other than the baby that he remembered. She said that she'd give up anything so John could live. By looking at the state of Reba's life, it looked like she'd paid a hefty price for her wish. His thoughts shifted as he struggled to adjust to the facts in this new reality. Cheyenne and Van were divorced.
Reba got the life and the home that she always wanted, but it was a lonely existence for her. Kyra was the same caring responsible kid that he knew before. The kids were juggling the existence of a father and a stepfather in their lives. That didn't seem too hard on them. They seemed like good kids. Reba had done a great job with them. She always did in any reality. They seemed eager to help Reba with her love life. He'd have to win the kids over as part of the plan to win their mother over.
"Why don't you tell us a little bit more about you, Mr. Hart?" Cheyenne asked.
Brock drew a blank. Luckily, John D appeared to help. "Tell them most of your real story. Most of it is true. The only thing that didn't happen was the twenty-year marriage and three kids. You're a successful dentist. You make a nice living. You're a reformed real ladies' man and then you met Barbra Jean. Your marriage didn't work out because you both wanted different things. She wanted a career as a weathergirl and to travel across the country. You didn't want that type of life. You both love Henry. Then there is the little matter of Barbra Jean's relationship with Mike. She still loved him when she married you. She broke up with him before because Mike was still hung up on Reba. Six years later and Mike still hadn't made a move to get Reba back. They divorced because he cheated with Barbra Jean. He didn't think that she'd take him back after that. Sound familiar?" Brock gave John D a small nod undetected by the others.
"I've known Mike since we were twelve years old. We met when his family moved to Dallas. I live in Houston now. I've been living there since dental school. I met your mom one other time when she and Mike were in Vegas."
The kids groan when they hear Brock mention Las Vegas.
"Hey, I'm from Houston, too," Van commented, not connecting with why the kids groaned.
Brock continued. "I'm a dentist. Henry is my only child. But I've always wanted to meet a woman that I could spend the rest of my life with and have a big family. I don't mind dating a single mother."
"Aww! That's so sweet. We're gonna step to the side now and let you and Mom get back to your date." Cheyenne responded.
"Thank you, Cheyenne. I really appreciate it. It's been nice meeting all of ya. Feel free to call me Brock."
Cheyenne goes upstairs to get Elizabeth ready to leave. Kyra and Jake make their way over to where Reba was standing. "Mom, what are we supposed to call BJ? She wants us to call her Mom, too."
"I'll tell ya what you can say. You just point to her and say 'there's the woman who stole my daddy'."
"That might work, except Mike isn't our daddy. Max is."
"Do you think that matters to anyone else in town? Everyone knows that Mike is your father, Kyra. It would be terrific if you could say it a couple of times around town to embarrass her."
"Sure, Mom. Brock seems nice."
"I guess. I don't know him well enough to have an opinion yet."
"But he seems to know you. He remembers you from Vegas."
Reba groaned and put her hand over her face. "Then he remembers a wild woman. That was not my best time. Your father put me through an emotional roller coaster and I was really mixed up by the end of that trip."
"Mom, he remembered your favorite flowers. That has to count for something."
Reba begrudgingly agreed. Meanwhile, Brock was still talking to John. He clearly understood about Cheyenne, Kyra, and Jake's paternity, but John's paternity was the one thing that was questionable in either reality. He excused himself to ask John D about Vegas. He went into the men's room.
"Hey, John D. I need to know something."
"And I'd love to tell you, but you should take some advice from Reba. You should give me a second chance and try callin' me Dad."
"Okay, okay. Dad, I need to know something."
"Thanks, son. What do you need?"
"I need to know about what happened in Vegas. I was supposedly there."
"Oh, you were definitely there."
"So, what happened?"
"Reba didn't know you. You arrived in Vegas late so you weren't the best man. Terry was. You met Lori Ann and Reba the night before the wedding in the hotel lounge. You didn't take the pictures or anything else that happened before you met her in the lounge that night. Everything else happened just like you remembered."
"Everything?"
"Yeah, son, everything. You better let Reba come to ya with those details on her own. You can't force it outta her. Besides you don't have the best beginning with her. She was drunk both nights and she left that room before the sun came up on the final night. That's the only detail that's different."
"So it's the same as before."
"Yeah, boy, it is."
"What do I do?"
"What would your Reba do if she was here right now? Ask yourself that."
"She'd be out there with him, treasuring every moment."
"At some point, it will be over and you will return to where you came from. By the way, she's still got the same magic thing goin' on in her family. Someday, in your time and in your reality, you can show her what John was like. I bet she'd like to see that."
"I know she would. Thanks, Dad. I really appreciate it."
"I know. You needed this trip as much as Reba did. Congratulations. Let me be the first to congratulate you on becoming a father. I don't think that anyone ever did that for ya when he was born."
"Thanks. Congratulations to you, too. He's your first grandchild."
"Get out there and talk to him. I can't guarantee how long this will last."
Brock went back to talk to John. "Hey, how are ya?"
"As best as can be expected, because in about five minutes, my mother will get on that stage with Mike in a desperate attempt to get him to realize how perfect they are together."
"I can see why you'd feel that way, but music has always been a part of Reba. She gets on that stage because she loves it. I think that she'd get on stage for a concert in the pourin' rain if needed. She loves to sing. I heard that she sang to each one of you kids since before you were born."
"That's right. She did."
"She's human just like the rest of us. She's bound to make mistakes because everyone does. It will take her time to let go of the idea of a life with Mike. She's got to do that in her own way. I would like to help her with that. Your mother is warm, funny, impulsive, passionate, and a real survivor. She's the greatest friend that anyone has ever known."
"Does she know that you've got feelings for her?"
"No, she's got a one track mind. She always has. She'll cling to the thought of being with Mike until there is no hope left. Someone needs to make her see how wonderful and fulfilling her life can be, even without Mike. She could get married again and have more children."
"Believe it or not, she's talked about that to Aunt Paige."
"See? She just has to choose a different path in life for herself. She'll do it. Just be patient with her."
"Well, I guess that she could do worse than dating you. But if you hurt her, you'll have the four of us to deal with."
"I wouldn't dream of it. Hey, thanks for the talk. I was nice to meet you. I've heard so many good things about you. Your mother loves you very much."
"Yeah, I know. I just like to give her a hard time sometimes. I love her, too. Even though you're a friend of Mike's, I guess you're not so bad."
"Thank you. I'm gonna tell your mother to break a leg before she gets on stage." Brock smiles and goes in search of Reba.
He was thrilled to have help, even if it came from John D. For Reba, he'd promising to be a better man. He wondered if he'd ever get the chance to talk to Reba about what happened in Vegas. He was suddenly nervous about this date. He had so much riding on it. He'd hoped to be well on the way to winning Reba's heart by the end of the evening….
What will happen now? What will happen on Reba's date with Brock? What is Brock's life going be like in this other reality? Will he stay on in Oklahoma or return to Texas? What will happen when Reba gets on stage to sing with Mike? How much longer will she keep seeing Max? Will Brock get the chance to win Reba's heart again in this other reality or will he fail and wind up back in his reality alone?
What happens next? Stay tuned to find out in the next chapter!
Thanks for the reviews, make sure you review this chapter and give me your thoughts and comments….
Okay, because I finally figured out why I keep writing for these characters in these types of situations. I finally put the connections together. Scott Bryce who played Mike Holliway was on Facts of Life. He was so adorably sweet on that show. I watched a lot of TV back then. He was also on Murphy Brown. Here's the connection to Christopher Rich- pre-Reba. Scott Bryce's character had a blonde wife who divorced him and then she ended up in a romance with Christopher Rich's character so that's where I got that idea. It was driving me crazy because I was trying to figure out why I had that dream that led me to write this story. Now I know and so do you.
I will continue to write new chapter updates as often as possible. Thanks for being patient.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
