Reba is was in the middle of doing her yoga and Vannah was sleeping on the couch behind her.
Reba giggled at the sound of her daughters light snoring
The babies were kicking as she was doing her yoga.
"Guys can't you let mommy do this." She wrapped he belly
They both kicked once, that usually meant no. And two kicks mean yes.
"Ugh you guys are so cute!" She smiled
They liked twice
She giggled and Savannah woke up
"Morning baby" she smiled
"Morning mommy." She yawned
"Three more days!" She said referring to the babies
"That's awesome!" She smiled
Reba finished her yoga and then went and took a shower.
Savannah didn't move and just played on her phone
Reba came out and she was walking past Vannah when she hunched over grabbing the end of the couch.
Savannah looked at her concerned. "You okay?" She asked 
"Yeah... Just checking to see if I put shoes on... I did" she said lying
Savannah get her a weird look and shrugged it off
Reba breathed and then went to sit down in the rocking chair when Narvel came in. "No don't sit down, breakfast is almost ready. It will be ready by the time you get their if you start now" he said
She bent over and gripped the bottom of her stomach
Narvel and Vannah had already left the room. She let out a little whimper and closed her eyes tight
Savannah was concerned but didn't say anything
Reba walked in about 5 minutes later for Breakfast
"Hey baby." Narvel smiled
She gave a weak smile.
"You okay?" He asked
"I'm gonna be fine" she said and rubbed her lower stomach. It was so tight
He pecked her lips
She breathed, she was in lots of pain.
He rubbed her belly. He noticed how tight it was
She leaned back. "I'm fine" she said breathing out
"I love you." He said
"Yeah, love." She said gritting her teeth
"What baby?" He asked
"Uh.... Nothing... What's the plan for today?" She asked
"Nothing much." He said
"I want to go apple picking!" Vannah smiled
"That sounds like fun." Reba smiled
She looked down at her stomach. "Mind if the twins Come?" She said
"They can come." She smiled
"No like... In person" she said
"Wait what?!" She smiled
Reba looked at Narvel. "I'm in labor" she said
He smiled big and kissed her
She breathed. "Let's get to the hospital... I've been in labor all night and yesterday afternoon.... It's almost been 24 hours" she said
"Has your water broken?" He asked
She giggled. "Yeah... It did when I took a shower this morning after yoga" she said
He smiled big. "Let's go have some babies." He smiled
She smiled and grabbed her pillow, baby bag, her bag and her phone and phone charger.
"Are the car seats set up?" She asked
He opened the door in the back and their was a pink one with elephants on it and a blue one with blue and green poka dots on it.
"Those are so cute." He smiled
"I'm glad you like them... It took me forever to figure out which ones I wanted" she said
"Their perfect." He said
"Just like the babies on the way" she said
"And their mama." He smiled
"Awe! Honey that's so sweet" she pecked his lips.
He kissed her back and smiled

"Oh honey that's great!" She smiled
"Thanks mama." She said
"I'm on my way, send pictures!" She said
"I will." She said in the middle of a contraction
"Alright baby, I love you, good luck!" She smiled
"I love you too mama and thank you." She says working through the contraction
They hung up and Narvel held her hand as they pulled into the hospital parking lot.
Reba was shaking from the pain
Narvel hated seeing her like this. "I NEED TO PUSH!!!" She yelled
Narvel helped into a wheelchair and ran into the hospital. Savannah followed them
Reba pushed herself up with her left hand and cried out in pain. She screamed and threw her head back in pain.
Savannah was scared but didn't show it
They got her to a room and announced she was already at 9 centimeters
Reba was still shaking
Narvel tried to comfort her and calm her down. "Hey, look at me. Your gonna do great. Remember when you had Vannah? It hurt but then guess what... You were so happy when she was in your arms after that last push... All the pain went away. That's gonna happen but twice" he kissed her head.
She nodded and poked her lips out for a real kiss
He kissed her deeply and the doctor came in. "Baby number one is starting to make their way into the world... Ready to start pushing?" She asked

He held it tight
Savannah sat in one of the chairs in the room
Reba sat up to start pushing

Fallon*
Reba walked to Vannahs room
She was curled up in a ball
"Hi pumpkin." She smiled
She just nodded
"What's wrong?" She asked
She didn't say anything
"Honey talk to me." She said
Nothing.
Reba got in the bed with her
She pulled away from her
"Baby please." She said
She shook her head no
"Why not." She said
She stayed quiet
Reba rubbed her back
"Stop touching me." She said
"Talk to me." She said
She shook her head no
"Why not?" She asked
She didn't speak. She got up and got her photo album from when she was a baby. "Please leave" she said to Reba
"Honey I wanna be with you." She said
"Well I don't want to be with you. Now go." She said getting up and opening her door gesturing to for her to leave.
"I love you." She said
She just nodded and looked away
"Sweetie." She said
"No get out." She said
"Excuse me." She said
"I said get out!" She said raising her voice.
"You have no right to talk to me like that young lady." She said
"Get out." She repeated
"Apologize to me first." She said
"No." She said
"Yes or I'm not leaving." She said
"Then I'm leaving." She said walking out with the photo album
Reba grabbed her hand
She ripped it out, grabbed her phone and walked out of the house
She walks back to the dock
She opened up the photo album and smiled. "I miss this" she said to herself
Reba quietly followed her
"I remember when I was the only one... I got all the attention.. I get everything.... I was the only one they cared about and now that theirs two more in this house I might as well just go live with Brandon and Kelly... Maybe they'll show me more love and attention then in am getting here.... I wish she didn't have those babies. I don't like them. I miss the family being me mommy and daddy." She said to the water
Reba's heart broke. Not because of the babies. Reba and Narvel how hard it was for Shelby to adjust when they had Savnnah. So they know how do handle that part of it. But it hard when Savannah said she wants to live with Brandon and Kelly because she thought Reba and Narvel didn't love her anymore
Savannah looked at one picture and that one stung. "I remember when Shelby stuck his fire truck in my birthday cake... Or when mama used to spank me because I was trying to be nice to Shelby but he would hit me and all she would see was me hitting him back so I could get my anger out and she always spanked me. Or when they went on tour and didn't take me and I didn't see them for over a year. Or this one.... Here I am crying in the corner because mama made me go naked when I was 3 on Christmas because I said a bad word to Shelby" she sighed like she was talking to someone.
Reba was in tears. She had forgetten about all that stuff and hoped Savannah did to. She was wrong
Savannah threw the album in the lake and pulled her knees up to her chest.
"Savannah?" She said
She jumped. "Go away" she sniffled
"Can we talk please?" She said
"No" she said watching the album sink
"We need to." She said
"No. I already packed my bag. Kelly's picking me up in 10 minutes." She said
"Your not going anywhere." She said
"Yes I am." She said sternly and got up and walked down the dock stopped at Reba and looked her in the eyes. "I hope your happy." She said and walked away then started running till she got to her room
"Savannah!" She yelled
She just kept going. She grabbed her bag from her room and got in the car that Kelly was in. "Hi" she said to Kelly as they drove away
"Hey!" She said
"I'm planning on not go back their for a while... And please no pushing me to call her, text her, see her.... I need time. Please" she said
"Savannah why are you doing this?" She asked
"They need time with just the babies and I need time to myself." She said looking out the window.
"Do you know how much this is going to hurt them?" She asked
"I don't care." She said
"Savannah." She said
"Stop." She said
"What happened?" She asked
She sighed. "They haven't spent anytime with me sense the twins have came home and when I was stuck in the hospital because they couldn't go home." She said
"Honey they were born three days ago. It's gonna take some time for everyone to get adjusted to everything." She said
"I'm not going back kel." She said
"I know." She said
She continued to look out the window
When they were stopped at a red light. Kelly texted Reba
Vannah played with her thumbs
Reba called Kelly
She answered. "Hi" she said
"Kelly?!" She was panicking
"Yes, this is her" zhensaidu
"Do you know where Savannah is?!" She asked
"Yes. She's with me" she said looking at Vannah
"Oh thank god." She took a sigh of relief
"And she said she's planning on not coming back. You really hurt her Reba." She said
"I didn't mean to. I swear." She cried and Savannahs heart broke
"Well you did." Savannah said
"Baby I'm so sorry." She said
"Just get out of my life." She said
"Excuse me!" She said
"I said gey out of my life!" She yelled
"Not going to happen." She said
"Then I will" she said
"Savannah Blackstock." Reba said sternly
"Reba Nell" she said just as sternly
"You can't just run away every time something you don't like happens." She said
Savannah stayed quiet. She only thought those things... She never thought that they would ever come out of her mouth and they hurt. She curled up and started crying
"Baby you have no idea how much daddy and I love you." She said
"Well right now. I don't love you one bit." She said
"Savannah can you please come back so we can all talk about it." She said hurt
"No." She said and hung up.
Reba called Kelly again
Vannah turned the phone off
The next day
Vannah was getting ready for school at Kelly's house
Narvel drove to their house
Vannah finished and walked downstairs
She tensed up when she saw Narvel
"What the hell are you doing here?" She asked
"Excuse me? I am your father and Brandon's father." He said
"Get out." She said
"No." He said
"Yes! Go back to your dumb wife and stupid babies." She said
"Savannah you have no right to talk to me are talk about you mommy and siblings like that!" She said
He
"Yes I do!" She yelled
"Pipsqueak?" Shelby said
"What." She said
She didn't realize is was Shelby. They were super close
"Hey Shelb" she smiled
"Come here." He opened his arms for a hug
She hugged him tight
He kissed her cheek
She smiled
"You wanna talk outside?" He asked
She nodded
About an hour and a half later they both come back into he house. Shelby had changed the way Savannah was feeling about everything and she felt really bad about how she treated Reba and Narvel
But she didn't want to go back on still
"Hi daddy." She said
Reba walked in with the twins. "Hi" Reba said quietly
"Mommy?" Savannah said
"Shhhh, don't hurt me... Or the babies I came with your father and Shelby and I was getting impatient" she said
"Mommy I'm not going to hurt you or the babies. I love you guys." She said shocked that Reba thought she would hurt them
Reba stepped behind Narvel and Fallin started fussing. "Can someone take Jack" Reba said
"Can I take him?" Savannah asked
She nodded and handed her the carrier with the new born tiny baby
"Hey baby boy." She smiled
He yawned
She kissed his cheek
He started screaming
"Shh shh it's okay buddy." She soothed
He kept screaming
She took him out of the carrier and swayed
He calmed to a cry. Reba handed him his favorite Passy and blanket and kissed his head
He calmed down and snuggled
Reba was having a harder time calming Fallon down
"Hi baby girl." Savannah smiled
She just kept screaming
"Shh shh it's okay baby." She soothed
Reba smelled her diaper and Handed her to Narvel. "Your diaper duty turn@ she said
"Okay." He said and took Fallon
Reba giggled she knew where this wood end up
"Mommy I'm so sorry." Savannah said
She stayed quiet
"I was just mad and I didn't know how to handle it. I shouldn't have taken it out on you." She said
"Or the babies" she said quietly
"Or the babies. They didn't do anything." She said
She nodded and stayed quiet
"I love you and them." She said
"Well they love you two" she said
She smiled. "What about you?" She asked sadly
"Yeah" she said
Savannah kissed her cheek
She took Jack from her
"Can I have a hug?" She asked
She hugged her and Jacks whimpered

Fallon was sprawled out on Reba's chest and had a hand on her chest. Reba had her hands on her back and was laying on the pillow.
Savannah giggled and smiled at them
Reba heard her and without opening her eyes she said "What are you laughing at missy" she said
"Your so cute." She said
"Yeah yeah" she said
"You are." She smiled
She smiled
"Are you good at science?" She asked
She shook her head no
"ugh." She said
Reba kissed Fallons head, she had a little hair on the top of her head and Narvel came in with Jack in his arms. "So are we going apple picking or not?" He asked
"What time is it?" She asked
"Almost time for us to leave if we are gonna go. It's gonna be dinner time and Vannah has school tomorrow. I would rather not be out to late seeing it does get cold and I don't want the babies getting sick." He said
"We can just go tomorrow if it's easier." Savannah said
Narvel just walked out with Jack.
"Daddy?" She asked
"Vannah you have until Friday to do this home work. Why can't you be with your family for one afternoon. Is it that much to ask for? You have 4 days to finish this and you decide to do it on the day we want to spend as a family." He said
"Daddy this due tomorrow. And no body said anything about it so I thought today wasn't a good day." She defended
Is
"Your right. It isn't. Just like the rest of them." He said. He handed Jack to Reba and said he was going to the bar and walked out
"Daddy wait!" She said
"No Savannah. No more waiting." He said and walked out slamming the door
Savannah looked at Reba confused
"His mama called.... She's sick" she said
"What's wrong with granny?" She asked
"They think she has cancer." She said sitting down on the bed and held the babies close.
Savannah eyes welled with tears
Reba sighed. "He just needs some time" she said
Vannah texted Narvel. "I love you daddy." She said
He didn't reply
She saw that he read it and her heart broke
She saw that he read it and her heart broke
He sat at the bar
"Granny's going to be okay right?" She asked
"Yeah... I hope so" she said
She nodded sadly and picked Fallon up
She whimpered
"Shh it's okay baby girl." she said
She started crying
Savannah laid her back in the bed and she stopped
"She just wanted her mommy" she said
She nodded sadly
"You know what. Get dressed, me you and the twins are going apple picking. My treat" she said
"Are you sure?" She asked
"Of course!" She smiled
She smiled big
Reba smiled and the babies fussed
"I don't think they like it." Savannah said
"No. Their hungry... It's feeding time" she said
"Need help?" She asked
"Uh... Yeah I usually ask your dad... You don't mind seeing my upper half do you? If you do I can do it on my own" she said
"I heard that my baby needs help." Narvel walked
In
Reba turned and looked at him and then looked away. "Go away." She said
"Honey I'm sorry. I didn't mean to exploded the way i did." He apologized sincerely
"I said go away. We're going apple picking and it doesn't include you." She said
"Baby please? We're going to Texas Friday night." She said
"No Narvel. Your going to Texas. I'm staying home."she said
"Honey can I talk to you in  private please?" She asked
"No Narvel. I'm feeding the kids." She said
"We don't know how much longer it's gonna be." He said
"Then take Vannah. I'm not going." She said
"Why not? She deserves to see you and the babies." He said
"Narvel I'm not going. End of discussion" she said
"No it's not Reba. What's going on?" He asked
"Yes it is Narvel." She said sternly
"Just talk to me." He said
"No." She said and grabbed Fallons nursing blanket and started to nurse the new born
"Why not?" He asked
She didn't answer him. She didn't want to talk about this any more. "Go alone" she said
"Baby what's wrong?" He asked
"Narvel shut up. I'm done talking to you. Now go back to the bar. Your help isn't needed here" she said
"I'm not going back to the bar. And yes it is." He said
"No it's not! Now go away!@ she said
"I'm sorry." He  said
She didn't say anything
She fed the babies
She got ready to go apple picking
Savannah got ready
Reba walked into her room. "Ready?" She smiled
She nodded
Reba nodded and walked out to the car with the two carriers
"Want me to carry one?@ Vannah asked
"Only if you want to" Reba smiled
Savannah took Fallon's carrier
The babies were both passed out
"How much can babies sleep?" Savannah asked
Reba laughed. "A lot, especially when they are new born" she says
"Did I sleep this much?" She asked
"All day everyday unless you needed a change of your diaper or you were hungry" she said
"Really?" She said surprised
"Yup! You slept more than they do" she said
"That's surprising but then again, if I could sleep all day. I still would." She said
Reba laughed. "When does soccer start?" She asked putting Jack in his car seat connector and buckling him in
"Tomorrow." She said
Reba smiled. "You excited?" She asked
She nodded. "I really want to get on varsity." She said
"I'm sure you will! Your great at soccer" she smiled getting in the drivers side
"Thanks mama." She smiled
She smiled and they started driving. Fallon decided she didn't like not seeing her mommy so she started screaming on her way their.
"Shh shh it's okay baby. Mommys right here." She said
She just screamed louder.
Reba started singing
Then she noticed that Narvel wasn't their and she screamed louder. She was such a daddies girl.
"What's wrong baby doll?" Reba asked
She was still screaming. She wanted her daddy.
"Baby call daddy." Reba said
Vannah called daddy
"Hello?" He asked
She put the phone to the screaming babies ear
"Hi baby it's daddy." He said soothingly
She calmed to a whimper
"How's my girl doing?" He asked
She calmed down and Vannah  pulled the phone to her ear. "Hi daddy" she smiled
"Hi beautiful." He smiled
"Are you coming apple picking?"!' She asked
"I would love to if it's okay with mommy." He said
Reba sighed. "I would rather you not" she said
Fallon started crying again. She wanted both mommy and daddy there. So did Savannah
Reba sighed again. "Just come but we are not talking. We are not kissing. We are not holding hands. You are their and so am i. Just as two adults." She said
"Honey please tell me what I did wrong so I can try to make it better." He said
"No Narvel." She said and hung up.
He called her back. "I'm on my away." He said
Reba sighed and leaned back.
"Thank you mommy." Savannah said
She didn't say anything. She kept driving and got to the apple farm. She pulled the carriage out and started to unfold it
Narvel pulled into the spot next to her and helped get Fallon's carrier into the stroller
She got in front of him and started situating Fallon.
Savannah was carrying jacks car seat
Reba smiled at them
"Hi babies!" She cooed
