Thank you so much for all the reviews. I guess y'all aren't bored with the story. Awesome possum (: here's another chapter…. (:

Recap:

"Every time you hurt me, the pain is unbearable, but the love is strong enough to make me forget how bad the pain is."

Brock smiled down at her. "I love you." He whispered.

It was the most amazing feeling. The man she had loved for over 25 years was telling her that he always loved her as well.

She kissed him passionately, like there was no tomorrow, like they would both stop breathing at any given moment.

This time, Brock, didn't pull away.

The kiss slowly ended. Reba looked up at Brock. He could see every ounce of love she had shining through her eyes. She truly was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. "I love you." She whispered.

They felt like two teenagers who had just said 'I love you.' It was an incredible feeling.

"Do you feel up to eating?" Brock asked, still holding the redhead close.

She smiled, "Only if you are at breakfast."

I guess you could say she was literally 'Lovesick.'

"You get dressed, and I will meet you downstairs."

"Is mom okay?" Jake asked as soon as his father descended the stairs.

"I think she is going to be just fine, buddy." He smiled brightly, leaving Cheyenne, Van, and Kyra wondering just what he was talking about.

"What was wrong with Gramma?" Little Elizabeth asked innocently.

"Gramma was just a little sick, baby." He said taking the little girl in his arms. "She's all better now."

"I told you…somebody had a little too much eggnog last night." Van said under his breath.

This earned a smack on the back of the head from Cheyenne.

Reba laughed, as she had seen Cheyenne smack Van.

Everyone looked up at the new presence.

"Mom!" "Mrs. H!" "Gramma!" everyone shouted.

"I taught you well, didn't I?" Reba's comment made the rest of the family chuckle.

"Can we open presents now?" an impatient Jake asked anyone who would listen. Brock laughed, he was more eager than Elizabeth!

As the gifts were opened a series of "Yes!" and "That's just what I asked for!" could be heard amongst the children.

"This one is for you." Kyra handed Reba a small box. She immediately became nervous. She was almost positive that her ring had not made it under the tree this year.

"Open it!" Brock urged.

Reluctantly, she opened the gift. Just as she had suspected, it was a velvet box. Slowly, she opened it.

She gasped. "It's beautiful, Brock! Did you do this?"

His smile was bigger than normal, "Nope, I guess Santa Claus did this one." She hugged his neck tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Brock had gotten her a diamond tennis bracelet. It was stunning.

"A few more people need root canals, huh?" brock smiled at her remark.

Stepping out of his embrace, she walked over to the tree and picked up a box about the same size as the one she had just received.

"This one has your name on it." She smiled shyly.

He opened his gift to find a velvet box as well. "You didn't get be a diamond bracelet did you?"

She laughed at his joke. "Just open it!"

As he opened the box, he was speechless. Reba had gotten him a Swiss made watch.

He gently set the box down and brought Reba into his arms. Any bystander would have no clue they were divorced.

He placed a tender kiss on her forehead. "Thank you, honey. You really didn't have to."

"I wanted to, though." She smiled brightly up at him.

This, by far, was the best Christmas she had had in quite a while.

"Do you want me to put the bracelet on you?" he asked, as the children continued to open their presents.

"Gramma! Gramma! Santa got be bunches of Barbies!" Elizabeth shouted. "He gave me all my Christmas wishes!"

"That's wonderful, sweetheart." She loved Elizabeth with all her heart. She was a precious little girl. She laughed as she went to play with her Christmas toys.

Reba smiled, refocusing her attention to Brock. "Yes, I would love to wear my bracelet."

As Brock placed the string of diamonds on her wrist, she flashed back to the days when she and Brock first began dating. This was almost like he was putting a corsage on her, 25 years ago. "Thank you, Brock." She began to tear up.

She returned the action by putting Brock's watch on his wrist. They were lost in a world all their own. They didn't even realize they had been left alone.

As Reba looked around, she became conscious that the rest of the family was in the kitchen. Swiftly, but still tenderly, she sneaked a kiss from Brock. She smiled stepping away to pick up the rest of the wrapping paper.

Brock smiled too. He could definitely get used to this.

This chapter is kind of short… but tell me what you think.

I had fun writing this chapter. Can you tell I was influenced by tiffany's? haha. 16,000 dollars for Reba's bracelet! We are going to thank all the root canals that brock had to give for that one. Haha. Review!
