I APOLIGIZE FOR THE DELAY
Ch. 6
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….
Reba and Brock arrived home a short time later and Reba began to pace. What would the kids think of her? She was still married to John, even though he is a terrible husband. Brock and Barbra Jean’s divorce wasn’t final yet either. “Reba honey, stop pacing” Brock said as he made her sit down on the couch next to Barbra Jean. “Reba this is great news! My husband is having a baby with my best friend!!” Barbra Jean squealed. Reba turned to her and looked at her like she had at least three heads. “You do realize how awful that sounds don’t you?” Reba asked holding back tears. Barbra Jean just waved her off. “Brock and I will be divorced soon anyways. Who cares if you and John aren’t divorced? As soon as he is caught a judge will make it final and he won’t have anything to say about it. You two are meant for each other!” Barbra Jean giggled. Reba rolled her eyes and got up and began to pace again. “I just don’t know what the kids are going to think. This is crazy even for our family!” Reba screeched. Just as she said that Kyra, and Jake came in followed by Van, Cheyenne, Elizabeth and baby Chris. “What’s so urgent that Jake had to skip soccer practice and I had to drop everything to pick him up?” Kyra asked and Reba laughed nervously.
“There is something your father and I need to tell you.” Reba said and they all found a place to sit down as Reba and Brock stood in front of them. “Where’s Henry?” Cheyenne asked Barbra Jean. “He is upstairs playing.” No sooner than was said Henry came bounding down the stairs, and into Barbra Jean’s lap. “What do you want to tell us?” Van asked suspiciously. “Well, you see…kids I’m….pregnant” Reba managed to utter and everyone except Brock and Barbra Jean gasped. “You’re pregnant with John’s baby?” Cheyenne asked and tears started forming in her eyes. “Oh mom, how are…” “Cheyenne, your mother is not having John’s baby….she….she’s having mine.” Brock said quietly and Reba watched as her children’s mouths hung open. “Okay, mom we’re not stupid, we have seen the way Dad has acted around you lately and then him staying over here the last couple of nights, and in your room, we figured out that you two are working on getting back together, but it takes a little longer than a couple of days to realize your pregnant.” Kyra said trying to make her mom see to reason that there was no way this baby could be Brock’s.
Reba sat down on the table and faced Kyra, Van, and Cheyenne. “This is where it gets really hard.” Reba said her eyes filling with tears. “I don’t want you guys to hate me. The day I ended up in the hospital your father kissed me, he guessed that it was John causing everything, and he admitted to me he still loved me. Then the next day after I was released your father came over after everyone was gone and we talked about the kiss and…” Reba’s cheeks turned bright red as did Brock’s. Van’s eyes were wide as saucers while Cheyenne, Kyra and Jake made gagging faces. “So wait, was this the reason Dad and Barbra Jean filed for divorce?” Kyra said angrily and Barbra Jean jumped to their defense. “No, it was because your father and I don’t love each other as anything more than friends. The fact that I could see the love he has for my best friend, only made it easier for me to let him go.” Van finally came out of his daze with a huge smile on his face and spoke up. “This is awesome! You will be Mr. and Mrs. H again!” He stood up and pulled Reba into a hug and Reba was so relieved she laughed. “What do the rest of ya’ll think?” Reba asked quietly when Van let go of her. “Mom, we could never hate you, we love you, and Dad is way better than John.” Cheyenne said and she got up and hugged her as well. Jake got up and joined in. “I’m cool with it” Jake said and then wonder of wonders, Kyra stood up and hugged her too. “I’m happy that something good has come out of this mess” Kyra said and Reba cried in relief.
Brock put his hands together and said “This is great, why don’t I take everyone out for dinner tonight and we can celebrate?” Everyone quickly agreed and Brock pulled Reba into a gentle hug. “Always the worrier.” He said quietly and kissed her forehead. “Gramma Reba” Seven year old little Elizabeth said as she tugged on Reba’s shirt. Reba smiled and picked her up. “Yes darlin’?” “What’s prwegnent?” she asked and Reba giggled. “Honey it’s when you have a baby growing inside your tummy.” Reba said and put her free hand on her stomach to show the little girl as she looked down. “Oh, like with Mommy?” she asked. “Yes sweetheart, exactly like your Mommy.” “But Gramma, Mommy’s tummy was big!” Elizabeth said confused and Reba chuckled as Cheyenne glared at her daughter. “Well sweetie, my tummy isn’t big yet, but it will be getting big soon enough.” Reba said and Elizabeth seemed satisfied with that answer.
“How does the baby get in there Aunt Reba?” Henry asked as he stared at her still flat tummy. Reba’s eyes widened and she looked over at Brock and Barbra Jean. “Henry, honey that’s a question you need to ask your mommy or daddy.” Reba said and Henry turned to Brock. “Daddy?” he asked. “Well, it doesn’t happen until a girl is all grown up and falls in love. Then if the two are in love enough God blesses them by giving them a baby.” Brock said and Henry nodded his head and acted like he understood and all of the adults looked at each other with relief. “Alright, why doesn’t everyone go home and get dressed and then we can meet at the new Italian restaurant in a couple of hours. I will make reservations.” Brock said and left the room, as everyone except Jake, Reba and himself left to go get ready.
Reba went on up to the bathroom to take a shower while Brock made reservations. As she stepped into the shower and began to lather her skin with body wash she smiled as she ran the sponge over her stomach. She was having a baby, Brock’s baby. She was brought out of her thoughts by Brock wrapping his arms around her stomach. “I love you Reba.” He whispered in her ear and she giggled. “I love you too, now no happy hands or we will end up running late.” Reba said and turned to see the disappointment in Brock’s eyes. “Wait until we get back home this evening.” She said in a husky voice and kissed him deeply. Brock insisted on rushing the shower and getting out the door so they could get back home as quickly as possible. Reba only rolled her eyes and finished her shower.
Two hours later the family had arrived at the restaurant and van’s jaw hit the ground when he got a good look at his mother-in-law. Reba was in a light blue dress that was a good three inches shorter than she would normally wear, thanks to Dolly and her rules of “appropriate dressing” the dress had a scoop neck front and showed off a hint of well blessed cleavage, while the back of the dress seemed to be nonexistent. Literally, the dress was backless until just above her hips. (A/N: for the back think of the very first black dress she wore to host the ACM’s) “Pregnant women aren’t supposed to be that hot.” Van said allowed before he could stop himself, earning him a smack from Cheyenne, Kyra, Barbra Jean, Reba AND Brock. Little Henry ran up to Reba and she picked him up and he kissed her cheek. “My pretty Reba” he said and Reba giggled. “You’re Reba hmm?” Henry nodded and put his head in the crook of Reba’s neck while Brock laughed. “Like father like son.” He said proudly and Barbra Jean glared. “Henry, isn’t Mommy pretty too?” Henry didn’t answer and Barbra Jean gave up. “Let’s eat, I’m starving” Reba said and they all sat down to enjoy a family meal. Reba laughed as Elizabeth and Henry ended up trading their plates of simple spaghetti and smiled as she watched her whole family around them. Their Body guards sat two tables away and Reba glanced over at them.
She knew they wouldn’t be staying much longer. Four weeks since John left, and no sign of him anywhere. Even with the threatening note, for her not to get too comfortable, Reba couldn’t help but realize that her security would either be severely slackened, or taken away completely within the next couple of weeks. She turned back to her family and smiled once again. John was hiding out, would he really risk prison to come back and hurt her?”
Reba awoke the next morning in Brock’s arms and she smiled as he kissed her neck. “Last night was amazing” Brock said and Reba moaned as he found her sweet spot. “Yes it was, and I hate to cut your very tempting intentions for this morning short, but I have an open house in about two and a half hours. You know the house next to Barbra Jean’s? Four houses down from here?” Reba asked and Brock nodded. “Well the Browns’ have finally decided to sell it and I have a few people interested in it.” Reba said and Brock continued his quest downward. Climbing on top of her and kissing down her throat to her chest. He kissed her breast and Reba moaned, and weakly tried to push him away. “Brock, I’m serious you need to stop. You also have to be at work in an hour and a half.” Brock sighed and moved back up her body. “It’s your fault for not putting any clothing back on last night. You know I can’t resist.” He said and Reba giggled. “It’s not my fault you can’t control yourself.” Reba said and Brock nodded his head. “Yes it is, you are way too sexy for me to ever be able to resist. Especially in that dress you wore last night, you should have seen the way every man in that room was looking at you. There was a young couple there and as a guy got down on one knee to propose you walked by to go to the bathroom and he stared at your back and forgot what he was going to say. Causing her to get up and walk away angrily. You’re a force of nature gorgeous.” Brock said and Reba blushed and kissed him gently. “get up and get dressed” she said and surprise, surprise, he did as he was told.
Three hours later, Reba’s open house was in full swing and she had just finished showing the house to her second client. Neither one of them had seemed generally interested in it; Reba knew it was because the neighborhood was not for them. They were both young couples still looking to party on the weekends. Reba’s third prospective client walked through the door and Reba smiled. “Hello I’m Reba Hart, I am the agent for this home.” Reba said and the woman looked at her confused. “I’m sorry I was told the open house was being run by Dolly’s best, Mrs. Gilbert.” Reba cringed slightly at the name. “Gilbert is my married name.” well come to think of it so was Hart, Reba had never realized how easily she had switched back to Hart, instead just going back to her maiden name. Somehow though, Reba couldn’t see herself as anyone but Reba Hart anymore. Gilbert had in fact, been a huge adjustment. “Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to pry I was just confused. I’m Sarah McClain.” Reba shook the woman’s hand and upon getting a whiff of the woman’s perfume she became queasy.
“That’s quite alright, besides if you buy the property you will eventually hear the whole story. I happen to live four houses down and there are a few people in this neighborhood who like to gossip.” Reba said and smiled. Reba quickly learned as she showed Sarah the house that she herself was divorced, with no kids and she was just looking for a place to start over. “This is a great neighborhood, it’s relatively quiet, but I will warn you now to beware of Barbra Jean, she lives right next door to you, despite being supremely annoying and nosy, she is a sweet person and an excellent friend to have.” Reba said as she finished showing the house and Sarah smiled. “I think I will take it.” Sarah said and as she stepped closer to Reba and her perfume hit Reba’s nose, Reba had to turn and run to the bathroom to spill the contents of her stomach.
“Perfect time for morning sickness to show up.” Reba growled as she got up and splashed water on her face and rinsed her mouth out. “Are you alright?” Sarah asked concerned when Reba opened the door. Unfortunately Sarah was standing too close and Reba got sick again. She didn’t have time to shut the door; she just immediately turned back to the toilet and emptied the tiny bit that was left in her stomach. Reba groaned and as Sarah tried to move closer to help her Reba put her hand up. “Please, your perfume is what’s making me sick.” Reba said in an attempt to keep her further away. Reba hadn’t even realized what she said until Sarah gasped. “Oh, you’re pregnant!” Reba’s eyes widened and she merely nodded as she got up slowly and once again rinsed her mouth out. “Well, you would have known soon enough with you moving in here anyways. Morning sickness literally just decided to kick in.” Reba said and faced her. “Why don’t we go back to my office and fill out the paper work?” Sarah nodded and Reba smiled. As they headed out the door Reba took the for sale sign down and from her blackberry she sent out notices saying the house was off the market and she cancelled any other appointments made for the house.
Reba’s bodyguard began following her and Sarah looked at her confused. “Um, I was going to ask earlier, but why do you have a bodyguard? If you don’t mind my asking.” Sarah quickly added and Reba shook her head. “My husband was abusive, I managed to get away and call the police, when they arrived he had gone, but left a note saying he would be back one day for me and my family. Again I tell you because everyone else already knows.” Reba said and Sarah nodded. “Oh, but can you keep the pregnancy to yourself please, my family and I are still adjusting to that one.” Reba said and Sarah nodded her head.
“Oh Reba, you are moving on much faster than expected.” John said as he watched Reba from afar, extremely afar in fact. “It looks like you have found comfort in that idiot’s arms, and soon, thanks to Sarah, I will know all of the details of your life. Then when the bodyguards are gone and you are content, I will come back and I will kill your family and save you for last. Sarah had better do her job and get close to you.” He said and laughed at how unsuspecting Reba was towards Sarah’s assumed innocence…..TBC
