Love by Love – 24
Resting in his arms, Reba sighed in satisfaction and exhaustion. Brock chuckled pulling her closer to his chest and kissed her on the top of her head. They just finished taking a bath and he too was satisfied.
"When you asked me if I wanted to try out the hot tub, that wasn't quite what I had in mind," commented Reba with a giggle.
"It's better that you thought, isn't it?" Brock beamed. "You cut me off for three months, and it's our wedding night, what do you expect?"
"Not quite that wild."
"Says the lady that got me to join the mile-high club." Reba giggled when Brock showered her with kisses. The teasing kisses heated up very quickly since they were conveniently naked in the big king bed. Besides, it was their wedding night, it bounded to happen. "I love you Mrs. Hart," said Brock giving her a good night kiss when they were really tired and ready to fall asleep.
"I love you too, Mr. Hart." Reba replied before drifting off in his arms after the long night of love making. Starting tomorrow, she would wake up in his arms every morning, as his wife: Mrs. Reba Nell Hart.
Brock pulled into Reba's driveway, or their driveway now that they were married. He rushed to Reba's side and opened the door for her and snuck a little loving kiss before carrying her over the threshold. The kids ran to them the moment they heard that their parents were back. They wanted to know where their parents went and wanted to know all about the trip. Reba told them just the place they visit. It was a resort and spa so all they did was relax and... well that's all they need to know, just relax. The kids were glad they didn't go. It sounded like a boring trip.
"Where's meemaw?" Wondered Reba not seeing her mother nearby.
"Oh she had to go this morning. Grandpa called and wanted her to go back as soon as she could. He ran out of clean underwear. Barbra Jean took care of us today." Cheyenne explained.
"And where's Barbra Jean?" Reba questioned looking around.
"She fell asleep at the breakfast table eating pickles and ice-cream," told Kyra. Reba went to the kitchen to check on Barbra Jean while Brock took their luggage to their bedroom.
"Barbra Jean..." No response; Reba called her again. "Barbra Jean..." Still nothing. "Last call!"
"Huh? Wait! One more round please." Barbra Jean sleepily ordered. Reba smacked her awake.
"I hope you're not drinking during your pregnancy. Why are you sleeping here."
"I'm babysitting until you and Brock are back from honeymoon. Oh wait... You're back! How's your trip? Tell me every detail."
"Wonderful" Reba replied shortly.
"He's a tender lover, isn't he?" Barbra Jean remarked, causing Reba to roll her eyes.
"Although he's great and such a wonderful lover, but that's a subject I do not wish to discuss with anyone." Reba blushed, she shook it off. "Anyway, thank you for watching the kids for me in your sleep. Why are you so tired?"
"I told Rebecca about my horrible past."
"Which one?" Questioned Reba.
"The one that I dated married men. I admitted to her, because she found the picture that we took at the convention and I was in the picture too, she thought Blake cheated on her when they were still in-love. Blake was upset, so I decided to tell her the truth. But what kept me awake was the fact that I overheard him telling her that he still loves her."
"Oh... Barbra Jean..." Reba pat her friend's back. She couldn't give any advice knowing that Barbra Jean and her were so different. If it was up to her, she would walk away, but she knew Barbra Jean would never survive on her own. All Reba could do was just let her pour her heart out, hoping she would feel better when she had someone to talk to.
"Honey I'm done unpack...ing..." Brock was taken aback when Barbra Jean cried even more when she saw Brock. She envied her friend who just came back from her honeymoon and had a loving husband while she was knocked up and the man still loved his wife. Reba had to calm her down. "What's with her?" Asked Brock after Barbra Jean left.
"Pregnant." Reba replied with a smirk. "She has a few problems, but mainly just an emotional roller coaster."
"Yeah, Lori-Ann drove me crazy too when she was pregnant with Cheyenne."
"Terry would tell you the same thing about me."
"Were you that bad?"
"Someday you'll find out." Reba remarked giving him a peck on his lips.
"This may sounds odd, but I'm really looking forward to see how insane you'll drive me." Reba smiled. She hadn't told him that she was no longer on the pill. However, it was good to know that he still longed to have a baby with her.
Barbra Jean eventually moved out to stay with Blake at his condo. Brock moved in with Reba and rented his house to someone else for extra income per Reba's suggestion. The little Hart family started to settle down.
"Reba, what do you think of this tiara?" Barbra Jean pointed to the beautiful diamond tiara in the jewelry store. Reba took the kids out to get gifts for Brock's birthday which was tomorrow, but she was distracted on the way to the department store.
Tearing her eyes away from a pair of beautiful diamond earrings, Reba complimented. "It's beautiful."
"Do you think it'd look nice with the wedding dress I selected?"
"$4000! Are you insane?" Exclaimed Reba
"Well I want to. We're going to say our vows in St-Thomas in less than three weeks. We have to scrape our wedding plans and have a simple wedding. I want something to make up for it!" Despite the fact that Reba tried to talk her out of it, Barbra Jean made up her mind and bought the tiara. They also stopped at a Christian Gift Shop. Barbra Jean had started a new collection aside from beanie babies: baby Jesus figurines. Reba shook her head. She then spotted a little baby's bible. She smiled and decided to get it. Then, she took Cheyenne and Kyra to the clothing department to look for their new clothes. Cheyenne was giddy looking for her very first training bra.
"Mom, is this one good?" Cheyenne held a stuffed bra against her chest.
"No honey, you don't have those yet. So let's look for something less sexy and more cute okay?" Cheyenne pouted and looked for something else.
"Reba, do you think I'll look good in this?" Barbra Jean held a set of sexy lingerie next to her body to see how it looked on her.
"Blake may find you sexy in them. But you're definitely not my type." Reba quipped. She looked at simple cotton pajamas for herself.
"You should get one Reba."
"Pardon me?" Reba was taken aback by Barbra Jean's suggestion.
"I'm serious. Men love seeing woman in sexy lingerie. Spice up your love life."
"Barbra Jean, we just got married for two months. We are still considered newlyweds. Our love life's already hot and spicy as it is, how much spicier can it get?"
Handing Reba a set of sexy lingerie, Barbra Jean persuaded Reba. "C'mon, go try it on. I'm sure Brock would love it." Reba thought about it for a second and decided to give it a shot. She took the garment into the fitting room and tried it on. She smiled looking at herself in the mirror wondering what Brock's reaction would be seeing her in this. She decided to get it.
"Oohh this is cute, is it for me?" Cheyenne picked it out from the basket and held it against her body. Reba blushed.
"No sweetie, it's not for you."
"But it's my size." Cheyenne argued. It was the length of her dress. "It'd be too short for you."
"Believe me honey, it wouldn't fit you. Now, show me what you got there" Reba took the stuff from Cheyenne and inspected them. "Uh... honey, this is a thong. You're too young to wear this."
"But these are cute and it fits me."
"Judging by what you've been picking, you're really half your mother." Reba snickered. "They look small but they're not made for kids. You know what, let's put these back and I'll help you choose what you can wear." Reba took her hand and led her to where the young adult section was and helped her pick out a few cute little panties and training bras. Kyra started to whine that she was bored and wanted to go home.
"Honey, we're back," called Reba to announce her presence knowing Brock would be back from golfing with his friends while she was out shopping with the kids.
"My, my, you guys bought the whole store?" Brock accepted the quick peck that Reba gave him and took the bags from her hand, curiously trying to peak what was inside. Reba slapped his hand gently.
"No peaking. Your birthday gift is in here too, plus some woman's stuff."
"They bought bras." Kyra told Brock.
"Cheyenne needs bra already?" Questioned Brock joining his brows together.
"Just a few training bras." Reba explained shortly.
"Mom bought a very short dress too," stated Cheyenne, still a little bitter that the dress wasn't for her.
"A very short dress?" Brock showed his interest. "Can I see it?"
Smiling, Reba whispered to his ear. "I'll wear it for you tonight." Well that got Brock all curious and excited. He couldn't wait till the kids went to bed. Besides, Reba was in such a flirty mood today, she had been seducing him all evening, or was it just him?
"The kids are in bed," stated Brock kissing the side of her neck. "Now, can I see that very short dress you bought?" Brock was expected to see something sexy, but didn't quite imagine that the 'short dress' would turn out to be short sexy lingerie. He was a bit confused when Reba walked out of the bathroom wearing a silk robe. Reba put the end of the rope that tied her robe together in his hands and told him to 'unwrap his present'. Brock was dazzled and astonished by the sight when her robe fell to the ground. He gasped and drooled. Reba's lingerie had short spaghetti straps and a V-shape white lace starting at her chest down to her belly button, and failed to conceal anything from his eyes, the bodice was made from pure white silk that barely reached her thighs.
"Happy Birthday." Reba whispered.
"Oh yeah!" His birthday started out great at the stroke of midnight and nothing could top that!
In the morning, the kids rushed in to their bedroom, wishing him happy birthday and gave him his presents that they bought and wrapped. Brock happily unwrapped his gifts. Cheyenne gave him a new tie and Kyra gave him a new pen. Brock thanked them with a kiss on the cheek.
"Here's one from me." Reba gave him a box with her eyes sparkling.
"Oh, I thought my gift was what you gave me last night" He whispered just between the two of them and winked. He opened the box and found two items in there. Just when Brock thought nothing could get better than what he got last night, Reba managed to top it; one of the items was the baby's bible that Reba bought yesterday, and the other one was a pregnancy test that showed a result with two lines.
