(Alrighty, next chapter... let's get back to the Reba Saga!) ~Hannanball13

Chapter 11

The next day was one of the most awkward days in the Hart/ Montgomery household, Van remained angry with J.V, J.V remained angry with Reba, Cheyenne was over at Brock's warning her father to keep Barbra Jean out of Reba's space for the day, which was one of the most tedious things Cheyenne would ever do, but if it was what was keeping her mother's blood pressure from skyrocketing further out of control than it already was, then it was well worth it in her opinion. Jake was over at his father's place too, playing the game system BJ had gotten him years ago. Kyra and her Grandmother were at one of Kyra's physical therapy appointments so they were well out of the way.

"Dad, just go talk to her!" Cheyenne pleaded in her Dad's kitchen as he scrubbed furiously at a dish Jake had left in the sink.

"No Cheyenne, believe me I am the last person your mother wants to see right now!"

"No Dad, your wrong, BJ is the last person she wants to see right now, and you know when you two are fighting Barbra Jean ends up over to see Mom more often... "

"I can't, what if Brian's over there?"

"Wow Daddy you're really out of the loop aren't you?"

"What are you talking about?" Brock asked still cleaning the food chunks from the dish.

"Mom hasn't seen OR talked to Brian since that day at the hospital, she still won't tell me what happened!"

"She hasn't?"

"No! Whatever happened that day, it messed her up!"

"Oh so getting pregnant by her boyfriend of one year wasn't what messed her up? Is that what you're saying?"

"I see! You're bitter about the baby! That's why you haven't come around! You don't like the fact that Mom is trying to move on!" Cheyenne shook her head in disbelief.

"That's not-"

"YES IT IS! How does it feel Dad? Hmm? Does it feel good? Now multiply it times a billion, that's how Mom felt when you divorced after twenty years because you knocked up BJ!"

"Your mother's over that by now!" He tryed to say convincingly.

"I don't think she'll ever be over that! Because she finds Brian, starts moving on and then you show up again, with your depression problems and your regrets! Not to mention the woman you left her for comes over EVERY day bearing ridiculous gifts for a nursery Mom hasn't even started buying stuff for yet!"

"She hasn't gotten stuff for the nursery yet?"

"Nope, and call me crazy, but I think it's because you don't approve... She still loves you Dad, even if she won't admit it, and I know you love her too... You're just hiding behind BJ and Henry!"

"What do you mean? I'm not hiding, I live around the damn corner Cheyenne!"

"Every night, I hear Mom crying into her pillow, begging for forgiveness from her unborn child... She's a mess, and you don't even care." Cheyenne picked her purse up off the counter where she had been leaning.

"That's NOT true!"

"Then prove it!" She stormed out of the kitchen, "AND KEEP BJ AWAY FROM THE HOUSE!" At that point Cheyenne didn't care if Barbra Jean heard her. She slammed the front door, as Jake came running down stairs to see what was going on. Brock stood flabbergasted staring at the picture that fell from the wall when his daughter had left, the glass shattered around the newly taken family portrait, he looked down to see BJ and Henry smiling back at him, oh, the irony, he though as he ignoed his aching heart.
