One Good Reason

"Susan?"

"Sharon?"

"Serena?" Chassidy questioned listing off a few S names as she carefully watched the road ahead of her, Reba sitting comfortably in the passenger seat next to her.

"No." Reba denied nonchalantly as she shook her head, leaning back against the seat. Blowing a raspberry at Reba's reply Chassidy gave out a soft humorous laugh.

"I think we'll just have to call her Mitten forever," Chassidy said referring to the pet name Brandon had given their little sister, a few months prior. Now, whenever he was around Reba or mentioning the baby he would call her Mitten.

"Hey it is a pretty cute nickname," Reba mentioned laughingly at her daughter's remark, earning a glare in the process.

"If you don't pick a name I will," Chassidy warned as she eased the car to a smooth stop, the red light in front of them quickly turning green again.

"I feel like we've hit every red light in this town," Reba muttered ignoring Chassidy's comment and looking out at the buildings they were passing by.

"How are Scott and the kids?" Reba asked a moment later, suddenly realizing that she hadn't asked about her son-in-law or grandkids since her daughter had arrived at her house earlier that morning.

"All good."

"Scott's been spending a lot of time with his twin," Chassidy reported back with a soft smile referring to Scott's closest friend and co-worker Scott. Ever since they had begun working together almost eleven years ago, their families and friends had dubbed them as each other's twin.

"Have you spent any time with Sarah then?" Reba questioned further. Scott and his wife Sarah had become one of the Standefer's closest friends, they'd even been to a few Blackstock celebrations in the past.

"I actually had lunch with her the other day."

"Mason and Boyd are both thinking of trying out for football this next year," Chassidy added. Boyd was the same age as Mason and with their parents being such close friends; he was also consequently one of Mason's best friends.

"Awe, you'll have to let me know how that goes." Reba mused happily in response. She smiled softly as she thought about the last junior football practice of Mason's that she had attended a few years ago, remembering how quite good her grandson was at the sport.

"Sadie?" Chassidy abruptly questioned, interrupting their conversation for a moment as she stared to her left at the little cowgirl store named 'Sadie'.

"Kind of popular now because of Sadie Robertson don't ya think?" Reba questioned in response, scrunching her nose a bit as she thought about the sweet but very famous young star.

"Point taken."

"I know!" Chassidy called out suddenly, causing Reba's head to whip back in her direction.

"Hmm?"

"Savannah." She mused as she tried to hold back a laugh, taking a second to glance goofily in her step-mother's direction. Squinting back at her daughter, Reba shook her head back unamused.

"You're lucky you're driving." She said in a low and almost menacing tone. If there was one thing her kids were good for, it was never letting her live anything down.

"Why do you think I suggested it now?" Chassidy said breaking out into a small laugh. She couldn't help but tease Reba about earlier this morning. If she was considering one of the grandchildren's name's, then it was only fair, right? After all, it was an S name.
