We drove down the bumpy roads and I was thankful when we finally got into town when the roads were nicer and more smooth. The bumps didn't help my nauseousness and apparently the glass of water last night didn't help my hangover either.

"Ugh!" I groaned.

"What?" I opened and closed my mouth a few times, it made a nasty sound because it was dry. Nancy chuckled and set her water in my lap.

"Thanks." I said with my eyes still shut.

"So, I have some news…" I opened one of my eyes and looked her up and down.

"What more could be happening to you?" She laughed.

"I never said the news was for me."

"Then who?"

"You."

"Good er bad?"

"Good." I watched a smile spread across her face. "I was talking to my sister last night, she's a math teacher at the high school, y'know."

"Mhmm…"

"And I was tellin her how you'd been lookin for a job, even if it was just subbin for a few days for somethin, I told her you'd been goin nuts cooped up in that house all day."

"Yeah…"

"She said one of the English teachers are goin to be out for maternity leave and that she'd recommend you." My eyes flew open and I sat up straight.

"Really?!" She smiled and nodded. "Maternity leave… that's about 2 months! Shoot… I'd start to actually get sick of work by then! I've never been sick of work before… This is excitin!" She laughed.

"It's not set in stone yet, but there aren't very many people out there that are able to work a full 2 months straight, so the odds are pretty good."

"Ohh… I'm so excited!" I sang. She smirked.

"I had a feeling you would be, but just remember, these kids, I mean, some of em are only a few years younger than you. In their eyes you're this tiny little 23 year old who doesn't know what the heck she's doin."

"That's because I am this tiny, little 23 year old who doesn't know what the heck she's doin, but it'll be fun! It'll… It'll challenge me!" She raised her eyebrows keeping her eyes on the road.

"You're so strange… Also keep in mind that they're teens with raging hormones, don't be surprised if a few try to get your number."

"Why would I be surprised? I deal with it everywhere I go!" I said jokingly, we both laughed then sat in silence for a few minutes, the radio playing in the background. I sighed. "So, thought of any names yet?" She shook her head.

"Not for sure, we have a few but… I don't know."

"Well, lets hear em!" She sighed.

"Well, I was thinkin about naming him after Steve, Steven Mitchell, but Steve doesn't like his name very much, he was thinkin Trevor if it's a boy. I told him, though, we'd call him Mitchell or Mitch, not Steve or Steven. He said he'd have to think about it."

"If it's a girl?"

"Nicolle Ann-Helen Lang. And yes, we both agreed to use Helen." I smiled wide at the sound of my mothers name

"As in Momma?"

"Of course! Who else?" I laughed.

"She's gonna be so happy… So honored." She smiled.

"Well, she's always been there. More than Steves mom ever was." I nodded.

"That's for sure…"

"He wouldn't be the man he is today if it wasn't for JV and Helen, and you, Reba. He's a lucky guy to be able to call you a sister, even if it ain't by blood, by all means y'all are siblings. Don't care what anybody says." I smiled.

"We're all really lucky to have each other." I agreed. "Alright, enough with this mushy crap. Lets get some food, I'm starved." She nodded.

"Sounds good." We chose a little, family-owned café called Sisters Café. We walked in and were seated by a rushed waitress who seemed to be the only waitress there was. There wasn't enough room for a second. There was nine tables total and it was jam-packed. Some costumers had to leave because there was no room. The waitress seated us quickly and threw our menus down, then quickly went to the kitchen. I gave Nancy an unsure look, then shrugged and opened the menu. A couple minutes later I heard a friendly, yet exhausted voice.

"Hi there, I'm Joanna. I'll be your waitress this mornin. If I cant get to ya right away I'm really sorry, but just holler at me if ya need anything." The tired, red-faced, blonde said. She was probably 17 or 18. I give her props for working so hard. "Can I start y'all off with some drinks?"

"I'll take a sweet tea." Nancy said. I felt her eyes on me.

"Coffee." I said in a monotone voice. "Please." I added, trying to not sound as rude.

"Alrighty! I'll be right back with your drinks, y'all take your time orderin… please." She said, laughing lightly. Nancy laughed a little back and nodded.

"Know what chya want?" Nancy asked me. I nodded.

"Yeah, but lets give her a little break. Poor girl is workin herself to death." I said, then closed my menu. I flipped my coffee mug over and waited for her to bring out the pot of coffee while Nancy continued to look. "You'd think with as much business as this little place gets they'd have a bigger place…" I said, looking around. I saw Nancy just nod out of the corner of my eye. Joanna appeared 2 minutes later with the coffee and Nancys tea. She poured my coffee and I smiled sweetly up at her.

"Thank ya, darlin'."

"Noo problem!" She set Nancys tea in front of her then got her notepad out. "Ready?" I looked up at Nancy and she shrugged. I sighed and nodded.

"Yeah, I'll just have the 2 egg, bacon and toast meal."

"Alright, and how do you like your eggs?"

"Over medium, please."

"White or wheat bread?"

"Uh… wheat. Thank you."

"Okay, and for you?" She asked, turning to Nancy. Nancy ordered then we handed her our menus and small talked until our food came out about 15 minutes later. We thanked her, then I poured some sugar and creamer into my coffee and we ate quickly, ready to get out of that noisy place. When she brought us our food I ordered some for Brock that way it would be ready by the time we were ready. After we were finished she brought us our bill. I quickly handed the her the money before Nancy could, getting a dirty look from her. I smiled and she rolled her eyes at me. 5 minutes later she brought out Brocks food in a to-go box, then finally, we left. I felt better after eating. We got in, buckled, and both let out a sigh.

"Well, thank you for breakfast. Jerk." I laughed.

"Your very welcome." I said.

"I was gonna pay, y'know…"

"Yeah, I know…" I said, letting my eyes close again.

"Don't you fall asleep, we're only 5 minutes away from the bar. Which by the way, why's Brock's nose all swollen and my are my husbands hands all beat up? And when I went in your room earlier I saw your white tank top, covered in blood. Please, explain." I took in a deep breath.

"He didn't say anything?" I asked in disbelief.

"I didn't see him till this morning when I got home. I stayed with my sister, remember?"

"Oh yeah… Well ask him." She gave me and annoyed look, the put her eyes back on the road.

"That isn't fair, Reba. I'd tell you if Brock did something dumb and you know it." I did know it… I sighed again.

"Fine. Some random guy called me a slut er somethin, Brock punched him, the guy punched Brock back. When I told Steve what happened he went after the guy, hit him a few times and we quickly left." She stayed quiet for a few minutes, then shook her head slowly.

"The blood?"

"Brock."

"his nose?" I nodded. "Is it broken? That was a lot of blood…" I shook my head.

"No, I looked at it last night. Didn't look broken. I'll check it out again today."

"Wow…"

"Yeah…"

"He's lucky he was stickin up for you guys! If there was any other reason I would be killin him…" I laughed.

"Everybody's fine. They guy is fine. He might have a bloody nose or a black eye or somethin, but he'll live." She shook her head again.

"Overprotective idiots." She mumbled as we pulled into the parking lot. She parked right next to the truck.

"Alright, I'll talk to ya later."

"Okay, I'll let you know about the teaching thing."

"Alright. Thank you so much for takin me."

"No problem, baby. I was bored anyway." I smiled and hopped out of the car, then bent over.

"Call me later and tell me how the wedding goes."

"Alright."

"Bye, honey." I said, then stood up straight, backing away from the car. She waved and backed up. I turned to the truck and hopped in, setting Brocks food and my purse in the passenger seat. I dug around for my sunglasses in the glove-compartment and after finding them I headed home, taking my time. About 30 minutes later I pulled in. I grabbed my bags and walked inside.

"Honey, I'm home…" No response. "If you are still in bed I'm goin to kill you." I said as I quickly waked to our bedroom. I walked in to see he still hadn't moved. "Brock Enroll Hart get out of bed, now." Nothing. I sighed and rolled my eyes, then walked over to the bed and sat on his back, bouncing up and down. He let out a loud, long groan. "You're burnin daylight!" I said, as I kept bouncing. After he did nothing for a while I stopped. I decided to give him a wet-willie and laughed when he just wiped his ear and went back to sleep. "UGH!" I hopped off the bed and tried pulling him out of bed. He just made a noise but didn't move. Finally I decided to do the one thing I knew he would get up to. He always did. This never failed to work on him. I got back on his back, but this time I straddled it, then started rubbing his bare back. I felt him relax as I bent down and kissed his shoulder, then his neck. I kissed his cheek, making it obvious that it was his lips that I wanted, hoping he would turn over and after I got as close as I could to his lips he gave in and turned over underneath me. I smiled and kissed him a few times.

"You're good…" I laughed as I found my way back to his neck.

"Are you… awake now? I asked between kisses. I heard him sigh but not say anything. I pulled back and looked at him. He opened one eye.

"Done already?"

"If you don't wake up, then yes." I said, raising an eyebrow. He opened both of his eyes and sat up slightly, then grabbed my upper arms and pulled me into a kiss. "Okay, okay." I said as he still pressed his lips against mine. He pulled away. "You're awake, I believe you. I got you breakfast." I said and smirked.

"Breakfast can wait." he said and tried kissing my again. I turned my head.

"It'll make you feel better and wake you up. You need food in your system or you're going to puke everywhere again." he sighed.

"You know, I really hate when you do that…"

"What?"

"Get me goin, then stop. You tease me all the time. I hate it." I smirked.

"We can continue later, I would just prefer not to have you pukin all over me and in our bed. I'd have to clean it and… way to make somebody feel like crap about their self. Pukin while we're in bed together? I'd feel like you thought I was gross or somethin." He laughed and shook his head.

"You're not gross, my love…"

"Okay, remember that next time I get sick while we're doin it." he laughed again.

"That's what we said in second grade, Reba… 'doin it'." I rolled my eyes.

"I'm sorry, while we're ring-a-ingin." He snorted.

"Quit callin it that…" he said with a grin. I shrugged and hopped off him

"You just gonna be a lazy bum all day?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips. He sat up and put his face in his hands, then rubbed his eyes.

"Do we have anything planned today?" I thought for a second, then shook my head.

"Don't think so. Why?" He shrugged, then got out of bed. He wrapped his arms around himself and threw on his robe. I watched him walk into the bathroom and heard him brush his teeth. Once I heard the water shut off I walked out to the kitchen, knowing he wouldn't be far behind me. "Theres supposed to be a big storm tonight."

"Like, tornado…?" I shook my head.

"No, I don't think so. Probably just thunder." I saw him nod then grab his food.

"Thanks for breakfast."

"No problem. Oh! Nancy's sister, the teacher, she might've gotten me a job for a month or two."

"Really?!" I smiled and nodded. "That's awesome, honey."

"I know, I'm so excited."

"What grade?"

"High school…" I saw a look of worry take over his face.

"Are you sure you want to jump right into a sea of teenagers? You're good with kids, not back talking 17 year olds who are bigger than you are."

"You're so good at calming my nerves, sweetheart." I said, sarcastically.

"I'm just worried…"

"Well, it's better than nothing." he sighed.

"I guess…" He said with a sigh. I squinted at his nose. It was blue and purple and swollen to 2 times its normal size. I sighed and pulled up a chair next to where he was sitting at the dining room table. "What're you sighin at?" He asked, then took a bite of his food, eyeing me. I shook my head.

"Go look at yourself when you're done."

"Don't want to."

"Why?"

"Cuz, I'm sure it ain't pretty." I shook my head again.

"No its not…" Hr frowned.

"Are you mad about last night?" I sighed and got up from my chair, putting it back to where it came from.

"Well, I'll tell ya Nancy ain't very happy with you guys."

"I don't care if Nancy is mad at me…" He got up and walked over to me. "I care if you're mad at me." I rolled my eyes as he slipped his arms around me.

"Well, I am, so don't even try to suck up." I said, sternly. He smirked and kissed my cheek.

"Still mad?"

"Yep." I said, not even acknowledging his embrace. He started kissing my neck.

"How… about… now…?" He asked in between kissed. I clenched my jaw and fought back the urge to wrap my arms around him and pull him even closer.

"Yes." I said through my teeth. When he chuckled I felt his warm breath on my neck and I let out a deep breath as my shivers went away. He slipped the sleeve of my shirt and robe off of my right shoulder and kissed from my shoulder to my collarbone.

"Now?" He asked, against my skin. I didn't speak this time, just nodded. He squeezed my hips and finally got to a sensitive spot that he knew would get to me. He kissed there a few times, then I felt him smile against my skin. Probably because I felt my knees start to become weak and I now allowed my arms to go around him. I grabbed his shirt tightly and inhaled sharply. When he pulled his face away from my neck he had a huge grin. I narrowed my eyes and tried holding back a smile.

"Howa bout now?" He asked in a husky whisper. I bit my lip and felt my breathing become uneven. I barely had time to shake my head before Brock had me in his arms and in the bedroom.
