Ch. 5
“Brock?!” Reba shouted as she saw him walk in. Reba saw the look of anger on his face and a look of complete calm on Barbra Jean’s face and she broke down in tears again. “I’m so sorry Barbra Jean, I mean…even though you two have mailed the divorce papers I still slept with him before you decided to get divorced.” Reba sobbed. Barbra Jean pulled her into a hug. “Listen up peaches, I had a feeling when Brock came home smelling like you that something happened. I just didn’t think it went that far. You were scared and hurt, he was there for you. You did not do to me what I did to you.” Barbra Jean said and Reba looked up startled at how rational and…smart Barbra Jean sounded. Then Reba looked over at Brock and saw the waves of anger coming off of him and she trembled. “Brock…I…I…I’m so sorry. I didn’t want this to happen…I couldn’t…say no..to him.” Reba said and Brock immediately rushed to her as Barbra Jean got up and made room for him. He held Reba in a tight embrace.
“Reba I am NOT mad at you, I am mad at myself, and at John. I am mad that you had to sleep with a man because you knew if he didn’t he might beat you. I am mad at myself for not being there to stop it, but I am not mad at you.” Brock said gently and Reba sobbed into his chest. “I thought you wouldn’t love me anymore.” Reba whispered and Brock kissed the top of her head. “Well you are wrong. I will always love you no matter what. Screw keeping myself at a distance. I need to be back in that house with you and you know it. You haven’t gotten hardly any sleep lately and that can’t be good for the baby. Now, I want you to know that I will love this child no matter who’s he or she is because they will be part of you.” Brock said and Reba smiled up at him. “I’m going to have to have a paternity test done, because I want to know.” Reba said and Brock nodded his head in agreement. “I am staying with you and Jake tonight. We will tell the kids once we know the results of the test, and we will go from there.” Reba nodded her head again as seven year old little Henry ran into the room. “Daddy why is Aunt Reba crying?” Henry asked as Reba wiped away her tears.
Reba picked the little boy up when he motioned for her to and she grunted a little bit. Henry was getting big. “Pretty Aunt Reba don’t be sad.” Henry said and Reba smiled and kissed his cheek. “I’m not sad anymore sweetheart, so don’t worry.” Reba told him and Henry smiled. “How come Henry never tells me I’m pretty?” Barbra Jean mumbled with jealously towards her friend. Henry just turned to his Mama and said honestly. “Mama you are pretty too, but Aunt Reba’s more pretty.” Reba laughed as Barbra Jean’s face went from happy to jealous at her son’s comment. “Reba’s always been the prettier one somehow” Barbra Jean mumbled and Reba laughed. “At least we know your son has great taste.” Reba said and Barbra Jean pouted.
“Reba, why don’t you head on home with the guard and I will let mine know that I will be staying with you tonight that way he doesn’t have to bother, you need a good night’s sleep Reba, not just for the baby, but have you forgotten tomorrow is your first day working for Dolly Majors?” Brock said and Reba’s eyes widened. With all the stress and the sudden news of the baby she had completely forgotten.
Their body guards were informed of the new sleeping arrangements as was Jake, who to Reba’s surprise shrugged his shoulders and said “It’s about time” before going into his room to play his Xbox. Reba stared in shock after Jake and Brock just chuckled. “Looks like you and I weren’t as secret about our feelings as we thought.” He put his arm around her waist and kissed her forehead. “Why don’t you go and take a nice warm bath. I will order Chinese so you don’t have to cook.” Reba nodded her head and headed into her bathroom as Brock suggested.
Reba looked at herself in the mirror after she had taken off all of her clothing and she turned sideways to stare at her stomach. It was flat, showing no signs of pregnancy at all. “If I’m lucky I won’t start showing until the fifth month like I did with the other three.” Reba mumbled and stepped into a tub of nice warm water. She sighed in pleasure as she felt the water beginning to relax her muscles. She placed her hands over her stomach and she prayed. “God, I know I shouldn’t have slept with Brock when I did. I know it was adultery, but please, please let this child be his. I will love him or her either way, but I don’t like the idea of this baby having John as a biological father.” Reba whispered as tears rolled down her cheeks and she began to consider other things for the first time. She divorced Brock Seven and a half years ago. She was exactly forty when she had done so and now she was almost forty-eight. She had more to worry about by being pregnant now. Her child could have birth defects, she could develop gestational diabetes, and her high blood pressure couldn’t be good for either of them. In truth, whether or not John was the father was the least of her worries.
Reba’s tears began to fall harder, and she heard a knock on the door. She quickly tried to wipe the tears away and steady her voice in case it was Jake who needed something. “Yes?” she called as steadily as possible. “Honey, it’s me, the food is here and I told Jake to help himself, can I come in?” Brock asked through the door. “Yes” Reba said hearing her voice crack as the tears began to fall again. Brock quickly shut the door and rushed to her side. “Honey what’s wrong?” Brock asked gently. “John is out there, waiting for me to get comfortable and get on with my life before he strikes, and these body guards will probably only remain in place for a couple of more weeks. The police have other use for them. So I have my crazy husband after me, and I’m pregnant. I don’t know who the father is because I acted like a tramp a..” Brock cut her off right then. “You are not a tramp. You were lost and scared, and for someone like you to break and lose control like that it had to be bad because you are the strongest person I have ever met. You are the opposite of a tramp.” Brock said and squeezed her shoulder gently.
“Oh Brock, don’t be such a mo’ron we both know I am, and before you say anything else you should know that that’s not what I’m really upset about. I’m worried, Brock I’m not as young as I once was. In just a couple of months I will be forty-eight. I’m getting too old to have a baby. I have high blood pressure, and a bad temper, this child has an overwhelming chance for some kind of birth defect and to top it all off I am at a higher risk of developing gestational diabetes because of this pregnancy which endangers myself and the baby.” Reba said sobbing and Brock grabbed a towel, pulled her out of the water, wrapped it around her body and then he sat back on the bathroom floor and held her in his lap. “Honey, let’s take everything one step at a time. First: You have me, I don’t care what John thinks or does, you have me to protect you, as well as Van. So even when the Body Guards leave you will be taken care of. I will not let him hurt you again. Two: you are not a tramp, and if this child turns out not to be mine when we have the test done, we are going to ignore it and pretend the child is mine anyways. Three: You will see a doctor regularly and will take it easy to as not to endanger yourself of the baby. Four: We pray, we pray for God to give us a healthy child.” Brock finished and kissed her forehead. “Brock, you never do much praying.” Reba stated
Brock chuckled “You’re wrong their sweetheart, the first time I saw you all those years ago, I prayed to God to make you mine, and he granted me that. Every time you got pregnant I prayed to God to keep you and our child safe, when we divorced I prayed to God to help me find my way back home. When I found out John was hurting you I prayed for your safety, and I have every day since I met you. I may not go to church as often as I should, but aside from asking God to help me find my way back home, every prayer I have ever prayed had been for you and our entire family.” Reba looked up at Brock with love in her eyes and kissed his lips softly. Brock heard Reba’s stomach grumble and he chuckled, let’s get you dressed and get some food in you shall we?” Brock said and Reba giggled and nodded, feeling much better than she had a few minutes ago.
That night for the first time since John hit her, she fell into a peaceful sleep, wrapped in Brock’s arms she felt safe, like nothing in the world could ever harm her or come between them, not even John.
The next morning Reba was up and running at in Dolly Major’s office by nine. “Good morning Reba, I’m pleased to see that I was right about you, a few years at another agency put some hard edges on you and now you’re a shark.” Dolly said and Reba smiled. “I’m happy to be working here.” Then Reba’s smile faded as she noticed her guard outside of the office. Dolly noticed and smiled. “I know you know most of what happened with John, but…” Reba paused as a wave of dizziness hit her and she quickly sat down and held her head in her hands “Reba, you’re not sick are you? I mean it is flu season.” Reba shook her head and tears started to form in her eyes. “Reba, why are you crying? I won’t fire you for getting sick, even if it is your first day.” Dolly joked and accepted the tissue Dolly handed her.
“I just wasn’t expecting having to tell anyone this so soon, but you need to know because you are my boss. There are only two reasons why I could be this dizzy, one: my high blood pressure, but I have felt relaxed this morning, however it could still be the cause.” Reba said and paused. “Reba, what’s the other cause, because we already know about your blood pressure.” Dolly said and sat next to Reba. “I just didn’t think it would set in this quickly, I mean I’m only three weeks…” Reba trailed off and looked up at Dolly and continued. “pregnant” Reba whispered and Dolly gasped and put her arm around Reba. “You are having a baby?” Dolly asked surprised and Reba nodded. “I just found out yesterday and so far, including you only three people know.” Reba said and Dolly shook her head. “Honey, you must feel terrible knowing that you are having your husband’s baby.” Dolly said and Reba bit her lip and she started crying again. “Damn hormones” Reba mumbled and looked at Dolly. Reba didn’t want to say anything else until after the paternity test, which coincidently, her and Brock had gone and made an appointment for last night. It was perfectly safe, and harmless, even if it was awfully early to be doing this kind of test, but once the situation was explained the doctor agreed.
“With my high blood pressure, and my age this is a high risk pregnancy.” Reba told Dolly. “Your health comes first and when the time comes I will be more than willing to give you plenty of maternity leave. Now, why don’t we table this discussion for later and discuss your office clothing.” Reba looked down at her slacks and matching jacket and looked back up at Dolly. “What’s wrong with it?” Reba asked Dolly smiled. “Well, you are dressed professionally, but the clothes you are wearing pretty much hide your figure. Here we wear more figure fitting clothing.” Dolly said and Reba took in Dolly’s five inch heels, short skirt and extremely tight top. “May I ask why?” “It appeals to both women and men, women like to see us dressed fashionably and confidently and well, men are men.” Dolly said and Reba rolled her eyes. “I don’t think men will be men around me. I never get hit on.” Reba said and Dolly looked at her shocked. “I watched you walk into this office in these clothes and some of the guys couldn’t keep their eyes off of you. Now in my closet I have an outfit for you for today, I guessed your size.” Dolly said and by the tone in her voice Reba knew she would not get out of wearing whatever Dolly picked for her.
One hour later found Reba showing her first house to a newly married couple. Dolly had made her put on a skirt that ended about 4 inches above the knee, but it was tight and figure hugging, as well as a matching low cut, see through blue blouse that Reba had to wear a camisole under. Reba was surprised when she actually liked the way she looked and realized that all the outfit did was highlight what she had without actually giving it away. “Now, the living room is recently refurbished from top to bottom. The beautiful big glass windows look out over your back yard where you will have a marvelous view of the sunset.” Reba said and what she didn’t notice was that the young man had been staring at her the whole time instead of the house, however his wife seemed interested. “I think we will take it.” The young woman said and Reba smiled. “Great, let me get my bag and we can head back to my office and sign the papers. As Reba led them out the door, the woman noticed what her husband’s eyes were focused on and she smacked him upside the head. “Ow!” He said and Reba turned and looked at them. They both smiled and Reba turned back around. The young woman gave her husband a look that said ‘if I catch you looking at her ass again you are sleeping on the couch’
By the end of the day Reba had sold all three houses she had to show that day and Dolly couldn’t have been happier. “Go home and relax, you deserve it.” Dolly said and as Reba left she added “Don’t forget to dress appropriately tomorrow.” Reba shook her head and walked out with her body guard, who had followed her all day. She had introduced him as an intern to the clients. On the way out the door someone bumped into Reba and she dropped her brief case and the papers spilled out. She bent down to pick them up and so did her body guard. “Thanks Ross” Reba said as he helped her pick up her papers. “No problem Ms. Hart” he said as she stared down her shirt. He helped her back up and Reba smiled at him. “You look lovely today by the way Ms. Hart.” Ross said and Reba smiled. He was a nice young man. She just wasn’t aware of the crush he had developed on her.
She met Brock at the doctor’s office and the test was performed and Reba was informed it would take anywhere from four to twenty-four hours for her to get results depending on how busy the lab was. They had taken a sample of Brock’s blood to compare with. They had also decided to run some other tests to check for any early birth defects. All that was left to do was wait.
The next day at the office Reba had stuck to Dolly’s theme and she wore a pair of tight fitting slacks with a low cut vest top that showed off a hint of cleavage. Reba had been sorting through paper work all morning and Dolly could tell she was on edge so she called her into her office. “Reba is everything alright?” Dolly asked concerned and Reba nodded and decided to tell her boss. “Some tests were ran yesterday to try and detect any early defects on the baby, and I’m waiting for results.” Reba said and Dolly nodded. Dolly heard a knock on the office door and said “come in” Reba was surprised when the door opened and Brock was standing there. “They said you were in Dolly’s office. I wanted to take you to lunch to help get your mind off of things.” Brock said and Reba smiled, and so did Dolly. “Hello blue eyes, long time no see” Dolly said and Brock grinned as Reba rolled her eyes. Reba’s phone rang and she turned pale when she looked at the caller I.D. it was the doctor’s office.
Brock walked over to her and Reba answered the phone. “Reba Hart” Reba listened as the nurse gave Reba the results. Brock watched the emotions of Reba’s face and felt relieved when he saw her relax and then her eyes well with tears. “thank you” Reba said and hung up. Reba turned to face Brock and forgot all about Dolly being in the room. “Brock, the baby is fine as far as they can tell, no early defects, they want to run more tests when I’m further along to make absolutely certain.” Then Reba broke down in tears and Brock looked at her and moved to hold her. “Brock, everything is going to be alright. The baby is healthy, and the baby…is yours” Reba said and Brock grinned from ear to ear and picked her up and swung her around. He kissed her lips gently, both of them not even registering Dolly’s look of shock at the breaking news. “We’re having a baby!” Brock said and for the first time in a long time, Reba forgot about John, and she was happy. “Congratulations Reba” Dolly said and Reba looked at her. She had forgotten Dolly was there. “I have a feeling you two need to talk, and discuss a few things with your family. Reba take the rest of the day off.” Reba nodded her thanks and Brock and Reba left with Body guards in tow. Now only one thing was occupying their thoughts…..how to tell the kids…..TBC

I wanted to take you to lunch to help get your mind off of things.” Brock said and Reba smiled, and so did Dolly. “Hello blue eyes, long time no see” Dolly said and Brock grinned as Reba rolled her eyes. Reba’s phone rang and she turned pale when she looked at the caller I.D. it was the doctor’s office.
Brock walked over to her and Reba answered the phone. “Reba Hart” Reba listened as the nurse gave Reba the results. Brock watched the emotions of Reba’s face and felt relieved when he saw her relax and then her eyes well with tears. “thank you” Reba said and hung up. Reba turned to face Brock and forgot all about Dolly being in the room. “Brock, the baby is fine as far as they can tell, no early defects, they want to run more tests when I’m further along to make absolutely certain.” Then Reba broke down in tears and Brock looked at her and moved to hold her. “Brock, everything is going to be alright. The baby is healthy, and the baby…is yours” Reba said and Brock grinned from ear to ear and picked her up and swung her around. He kissed her lips gently, both of them not even registering Dolly’s look of shock at the breaking news. “We’re having a baby!” Brock said and for the first time in a long time, Reba forgot about John, and she was happy. “Congratulations Reba” Dolly said and Reba looked at her. She had forgotten Dolly was there. “I have a feeling you two need to talk, and discuss a few things with your family. Reba take the rest of the day off.” Reba nodded her thanks and Brock and Reba left with Body guards in tow. Now only one thing was occupying their thoughts…..how to tell the kids…..TBC
