Together Again

Untitled Part 2

That evening Reba was just about to go up to bed, when there was a knock at the door. ''Who the heck can that be at this time'' Reba thought to herself, so she went and answered it

''Barbara Jean?''

She looked terrible red blotchy eyes and scruffy hair and her pyjamas were to small for her ''Hey Reba'' she said

''Do you know what the time is?'' Reba said with an unimpressed tone

''Yeah''

''So, can this wait or is this important, I would like to go to sleep at some point''

''There's something I need to talk to you about, its been playing on my mind for so long now I cant hold it in anymore!'' Barbara Jean was flapping like a penguin

''Ok ok Barbara Jean calm down, before you break something'' Reba said as she motioned for BJ to come in ''What's the problem?''

Barbara Jean slumped herself in the armchair ''Both you and Brock are so going to kill me when I tell you this'' she put her head in her hands

''Oh BJ what have you done now?!'' Reba sat on the couch opposite

''Henry isn't Brocks'' she said quickly and to the point

Reba's mouth dropped open ''Say what again?''

''I said Henry isn't Brock's''

Reba laughed

''I'm being serious Reba!'' BJ said in her whiney voice

''I know, I'm just trying to stop myself from hurting you, Barbara Jean how could you?!'' Reba was angry

BJ jumped out the chair as fast as she could before Reba could touch her ''I'm sorry!''

Reba didn't know what to do she started to pace ''I cant believe this, so your telling me that my husband left me for you, for what reason?''

BJ looked down at the floor ''Because I was pregnant''

''With a child that's not even his!''

''I'm sorry'' BJ started to cry

Reba walked to the front door and opened it ''Get out Barbara Jean''

''But...''

Reba put her hand up ''I cant do this right now, get out''

''But...''

''OUT!'' Reba grabbed BJ by the arm and pushed her out the door and slammed the door in her face.

She leaned against the door and slid down it with tears in her eyes, she put her head in her hands ''She broke up this family for no reason, I was happy'' she mumbled to herself.

The next morning Reba was up and ready, she hadn't really slept she was still thinking about what BJ had told her. How could BJ have been so heartless to take Brock away from her and to brake Brock's heart by telling him that Henry isn't his son. She just sat at the table with her coffee thinking.

''Knock knock'' BJ said as she walked in a little nervous

''Go away BJ'' Reba glared at her

''Reba please, let ne explain''

Reba laughed ''What is there to explain, all this time you have been lying. I lost my husband because of you BJ and I forgave you for it and then you come in here to tell me that the child you were pregnant with by my husband, is not even his child, what kind of person does that'' her voice became shaky

''A stupid selfish one'' BJ let the tears roll down her face

''Why BJ?''

BJ sat at the table with Reba ''I don't know''

''I don't get it, if you were with someone else at the time why were you with Brock?''

''Because the man I was with didn't really love me, he said he did but he didn't''

''So what's that got to do with it?''

''I was jealous of you Reba!''

Reba was shocked ''me?''

BJ nodded ''Yeah''

Reba was confused ''Why?''

''Because you had everything, you had a husband that loved and would always talk about you, you have 3 fantastic kids who adore you. I just wanted that''

''You could have that with anyone BJ but you decided to steal my husband!''

''HEY! I'm not the only one to blame you know Brock isn't innocent in this, he could have said no but he didn't!''

''What did you have that I didn't?'' Reba let the tears fall

''Time, I made time for him, I listened to him when he needed someone to talk to''

Reba knew BJ was right, she had driven Brock away because she never really made time for them to be alone or to just talk she was always wrapped up in other things.

Reba wiped away the tears ''So what about Henry?''

''The man I was with before Brock, he wasn't a kind person at all his name was Tony and he was a complete pig, he got me pregnant but it was the night before I slept with Brock so I wouldn't make it obvious''

Reba took a deep breath ''You need to tell him BJ''

''I know but I can't it will brake his heart''

''Yeah but he has a right to know''

''I don't know if I can do this on my own Reba, will you come with me?''

''What why?''

BJ smiled ''Because your my bestest friend in the whole wide world''

Reba went to speak but just laughed ''Your stupid, do you know that?''

BJ giggled ''Yeah I Have been told a few times''

They both laughed.
