Together Again

Untitled Part 1

Reba couldn't get used to being alone in that big old house of hers, it wasn't the same she was so used to having everyone there that it just didn't feel right, Cheyenne and Van had moved out and got their own place as they needed there own space and there was more room now that they had Elizabeth 10, JJ 5 and Samantha 2. Kyra had her music career so moved to LA with her fiancé and 5 month old Emma and Jake was in his second year of college studying to become a doctor. Reba was so proud of all of her children and how well they turned out and she was proud of herself for raising them to be the people they are. She wasn't exactly lonely though, she still had Brock and her best friend Barbara Jean they lived seconds away, her and Brock get along much better now than ever before yeah ok and she would meet with Barbara Jean at least once a week for coffee she loved Barbara Jean, she also loved Henry had grown up to be a very polite young man.

It was Saturday and that meant it was Reba's house work day, she had just finished cleaning the oven

''Hey Reba'' Brock said as he walked in from the back door

''Hey Brock'' Reba replied ''What's up?''

''Oh nothing, I was just bored Barbara Jean has taken Henry out for the day and I didn't have anything to do'' he sat down at the table

''So you thought you would just come over here uninvited and annoy me'' she quipped walking around the counter

''Well of course Reba, what else is there to do?'' he shrugged his shoulders

''Oh gee I don't know go play golf, watch T.V go and play on the highway anything to keep you away from me''

Brock sat there and thought for a minute ''Na that's not fun, I'd rather stay here'' he smiled

Reba rolled her eyes ''Great'' she screwed her face up ''Coffee?'' she pointed to the coffee jug

''Sure'' Brock replied with a smile

''So, what's new with you?'' Reba asked as she poured coffee into a cup

''Oh nothing much really, I go to work, I play golf and then I come home to Barbara Jen complaining'' he frowned

Reba giggled ''No that's definitely nothing new then, oh I spoke to Kyra this morning'' she smiled

''Oh how is she doing? How's Emma?''

''Yeah they are both great, she said she might be able to come home for a while within the next few weeks. I hope she does I miss her'' Reba poked out her bottom lip

''You only miss her because of Emma''

Reba hit him on the head ''Mo-ron! I miss both of them, I just miss having the kids here its to quiet''

Brock rubbed his head ''Yeah it is weird to come over here and there is no noise or commotion''

Reba rested her chin on her head ''Yeah I miss that, I miss then running around, I miss Cheyenne and Kyra bicker about who's better than who and I miss Jake whining about his homework'' she smiled as she reflected on it

''Yeah me to''

''You still have Henry''

''Yeah but it's not the same, I've watched him grow up, I never got to really see that with Cheyenne, Kyra and Jake, they turned out to be great kids, Thank you for raising them properly'' he rubbed his finger on her arm

Reba grew a little uncomfortable and quickly moved her arm '' It wasn't just me, you did have some input'' she smiled

''Yeah but you did the majority, you have always been a great mom''

''Thank you'' Reba smiled

Brock drunk the rest of his coffee and got up ''Well I better go, thanks for the coffee and the chat. see ya later'' he said as he closed the door open

''Bye''

Reba sat back in her chair and sighed, even though it had been 11 years since their divorce she missed Brock she missed what they had and she missed having someone to talk to, yeah she talked to him but not about the things about herself. She missed the love, the passion, the intimacy but most of all she missed him, does she still have feelings for him does she still love him, even if she does she can't have him. He has Barbara Jean.
