A short story, I hope you like it. This is my first Reba story.
I can't lose you
Chapter 1
Reba had the longest day, she was totally drained, she was confused, and wasn't to sure what to do next. She walked into the house, and was glad the kids were out, she needed to have a coffee, and to think. She went into the kitchen, and was putting the coffee maker on when Brock knocked at the back door. Reba walk over opening the door, and Brock asked if he could come in.
"Sure but I'm exhausted Brock, I was about to have a coffee would you like one"?
"Sure". Reba grabbed two mugs down, and poured the coffee, and brought it over to the table.
"Brock you look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders"
"Yeah I think something is up with Barbara Jean, and it is driving me crazy"
"She normally drives us all crazy, but what is bothering you"?
"Last night I wanted to make love, and she said she wasn't in the mood"
"OK Brock to much information I don't need to know about your sex life with Barbara Jean"
"What sex life it has been 3 weeks since we made love. She doesn't want to cuddle, I think she is fooling around on me"
"Oh Brock she isn't go home, and talk to her"
"I tried to she came in the house, and went right up to her room, and said Henry was spending the night at a friends"
"Brock go to her"
"Reba maybe I'm getting paid back for hurting my family. I hurt you, and the kids, I hated hurting you, but I cared for her, but I don't know anymore"
"No what Brock"?
"If I want this marriage to work"
"Brock don't say that"
"I can't help it, I am so confused Reba".
Reba grabbed the mugs, and walked to the sink, and Brock stood up.
"Reba do you ever wonder what our lives would be like this moment if I didn't shrew up our marriage"?
Reba threw the mug across the room almost hitting him, and screamed.
"Yes everyday, I hate seeing you with her, but I finally came to terms with it, and you do this. You are selfish Brock, I can't believe you would do this now". She ran out of the kitchen, and upstairs leaving Brock in shock. He walked over cleaning up the mess, he knew he was selfish, and Reba was right he ruined everything how could he do this to her now? He turned to put the glass in the garbage when he knocked Reba's purse on the floor. He bent down to pick up the stuff when he noticed a pamphlet, and he stared at it.
His hand was shaking he whispered, "Oh Reba No"
To be Continued.

Chapter 2
Brock stood up putting her purse back on the counter but was reading the pamphlet . He sat down, the words breast Cancer was staring back at him, and he felt sick. Reba must be devastated but he was scared he would lose her, but more importantly the children could lose their Mother. He wiped a tear from his cheek, and stood up but Reba walked back into the kitchen.
"You are still here Brock please go home to your Wife"
"Reba we need to talk"
"About what you are fighting with your Wife, and now I'm suppose to listen to you whine about it. I'm tired, I'm not in the mood to hear how your not getting anything from Barbara Jean. I have so much on my mind, I can't worry about you Brock"
"Reba I know"
Reba was confused but she saw the pamphlet in his hands. She ran over grabbing it, and screamed at him.
"How dare you snoop in my purse how dare you"
"I didn't the purse fell, and I saw it, Reba how long have you known"?
"What that I have breast cancer, I just found out today, I had tests, but it was confirmed"
"How bad is it"?
"How bad Brock I have breast cancer for God sake it is bad"
"OK I am freaking out right now, I don't know what to do or say"
Reba turned, and walked over to the counter, and held on to it.
"Brock I have Stage III cancer it has spread to the lymph nodes. They gave me that pamphlet , but they told me what I need to do. I have to have a Mastectomy, and radiation, but I have a 60 per cent of survival if I do it"
"60 per cent that can't be right"
"God Brock I thought 60 was better than 50 , look at your face you have me dead already"
"No but we will get a second opinion or a third".
"I have to do this I have no choice no second opinion will help but I already had one so it is official, I have Breast cancer, I'm going to lose my hair, why is this happening to me Brock"?
He walked over touching her face, "Reba I'm here for you I will be by your side every step of the way"
"No you won't you left me for her, I swear I could hit you right now. I loved you, and you broke my heart, you are suppose to be by my side, but I'm alone, and I'm so scared"
Brock pulled her close, and whispered, "It will be OK Reba"
Reba shut her eyes as he held her, and for a moment she felt safe, and she felt loved but Barbara Jean ruined all that when she walked into the house without knocking".
Reba turned wiping tears from her cheek, and Barbara Jean walked over to them.
"Oh wow what did I just walk into is someone going to explain why your both crying, and hugging each other"
"No take Brock home Barbara Jean you took him from me at least you can be the Wife he deserves"
"Deserves I am a good wife what are you saying Brock"?
"Nothing go home I will be there in a few minutes, I have to say something to Reba"
"I can be here what are you hiding from me"?
"For God sake go home now you are so annoying"
"Brock" Barbara Jean started to cry, and ran out. Reba smacked Brock on the arm, and said.
"I love that you want to be here for me, but she is your concern go to her, I'm strong, I can handle this"
"Reba you need to talk, I need to be here for you"
"I needed you Brock but you left me remember, I can't deal with your drama anymore, I have to focus on me, and my life. I'm scared to death of dying, but if I do I need you, and Barbara Jean to grow up , and stop being like children, you may have to raise them all by yourself."
Brock pulled Reba close, and whispered.
"You are not leaving us, and if you do I will never forgive you, not ever". He walked out, and Reba walked over locking the door as she looked around the house. The kids would be home soon, she didn't want to tell them yet. She had to cook dinner but she couldn't bring herself to cook so she ordered a pizza. She sat at the kitchen table looking at the pamphlet , she didn't know what the future held for her, but she did know she was going to fight to survive because she knew she was a survivor, but it was all in God's hands now.
To be continued.

Chapter 3
Brock got home he called out for Barbara Jean, but she didn't answer. He walked to the bottom of the stairs but he heard banging from the kitchen. He walked to the kitchen, and went inside.
"Barbara Jean I'm sorry I upset you, but I just needed some alone time with Reba"
"Whatever Brock I'm making Kraft dinner for dinner Henry will be home from his play date in a 15 minutes."
"Kraft Dinner Barbara Jean you know I hate it"
"Yes I do so if you don't like it go see if Reba is making something better"
"You really want me to go to Reba's because I will she needs me more than you need me right now"
"Oh go to her than, Brock you are such a jerk at times"
"Me you are acting like a child right now"
Barbara Jean was glaring at him, he grabbed his coat he just took off, and said he would be back later. He was about to walk out when the phone rang. He thought it might be Reba so he ran over saying hello. He knew someone was there but they didn't speak.
"Reba is that you"? He still didn't get a answer so he looked at the called ID, and it said private. He knew it wasn't Reba, he heard the phone click, and he knew the person hung up. He put the receiver down, but he turned to Barbara Jean.
"Barbara Jean were you expecting a phone call"?
"No why who was it"?
"I don't know but someone was there but I bet they wanted you"
"What are you implying"?
"I don't know you never let me touch you, are you seeing someone else"?
"Don't be ridiculous" Barbara Jean turned away she couldn't look at him, and he knew it. She was lying, and he was shocked, and hurt, he ran over to her, and faced her.
"You are seeing someone"?
"Brock I love you, I don't want to talk about this, I have to get supper ready for Henry" Barbara Jean walked over grabbing a pot but Brock yelled making her drop the pop.
"You fooled around on me Barbara Jean, I can't believe you"
"You fooled around on Reba so get over yourself"
"I fooled around with you, I hurt Reba , I was a fool"
"No we belong together, I made one mistake, but I promise I will never see him again"
"Did you sleep with him"?
"I know your angry, and hurt you, but you have to forgive me"
"Did you have sex with this other man"?
"Yes once it was just one time , I made the worst mistake. I was feeling so down, we had a fight, he made me feel special like you use to. I told him it would never happen again, and I mean it"
"Who is it"?
"My yoga instructor Ben"
"Oh my God you had sex with your Yoga instructor are you serious"
"He is sexy, and a sweet talker, and one thing lead to another, and it happened"
"I could forgive all the flirting, and talking to guys, but I can't forgive this. I left my family to be with you, and Henry, and you betrayed me Barbara Jean. I am leaving, and I don't want you to call me, or to come looking for me, I need to think, and I need to get away from you"
"Brock don't say that" Barbara Jean grabbed his arm, but Brock pulled away, but said.
"Don't touch me, I have to get out of here, I feel sick" He ran out of the house, and Barbara Jean sat at the kitchen table, and cried she really messed up this time, and she knew by the look on his face she may have lost him forever.

Chapter 4
Brock got in his car, but he sat there, and banged his fists against the steering wheel, and yelled out.
"You fool you gave up everything for her you deserve this you fool"
He sat there for the longest time, but he finally got out of the car, and looked up at the house, but he couldn't bring himself to go inside. He knew where he had to go he needed to see Reba. He walked to her house, and walked up to the door, and knocked. He normally walked in, but today he didn't feel like he had the right to anymore. He knocked, and Jake answered, and smiled seeing his Dad.
"Hi Dad"
"Hey son where is your Mom"?
"Upstairs she isn't feeling well Dad we had pizza. Van, and Cheyenne took Elizabeth to the park. Kyra is out with a boy, I'm alone, I was watching my favourite TV show want to watch with me"?
'Jake I need to see your Mom you go watch your show, I will be down in a few minutes OK"
"OK but Mom might get angry if you go in when she is napping"
"I know Son I can handle it"
"OK I warned you"
Brock smiled, "Yes you did I love you Jake"
"Oh Dad" Jake ran over sitting on the couch, and started to watch his show again. Brock walked to the bottom of the stairs, and looked up, and almost ran out of the house, but he went upstairs, and walked to Reba's room, and knocked.
He heard her say, "Come in"
Brock opened the door, Reba sat up , and held the pillow in front of herself as Brock walked in shutting the door.
"Brock why are you here, I'm fine"?
"Your fine no you are not" Brock said making Reba jump off the bed, and run over to him grabbing his arm.
"Hush do you want the kids to hear you"?
"Jake is the only one home, and I'm sure he is use to us bickering it would not shock him"
"Brock go home"
"I can't go back there"
"What Brock go home, and work things out with Barbara Jean, I can't be your Marriage counselor at the moment. I have had it up to here with your problems with Barbara Jean. She doesn't understand you, she doesn't like golf, she isn't giving you loving at the moment, I have more important things on my mind. Brock I can't do this not today, I have to think of a way to tell my Children I have Breast cancer. They need me, and I don't know if I will be there for them so forgive me if I can't deal with your problems at the moment"
"She slept with him, she says once but I have a feeling this has been going on for months. I can't forgive her, I finally realize what I did to you Reba, I feel like a failure, I lost everything when I gave up everything for her, I wish I could go back in time, and just say no to her. I was such a fool, I was feeling sorry for myself, and I felt so alone. I knew you loved me, but I was jealous of my own kids, I needed you but you were so busy with the kids, we fought over it, and when Barbara Jean made me feel young again, I made love to her, but the minute I did I knew I would lose you. She got pregnant, and I knew you would never forgive me for that"
"I loved you Brock why did you do that to us"?
"I was a fool, I need to make it up to you, I want to help you through this"
"I don't need your pity, I can do this on my own"
"You don't have to please Reba I need to be here for you"
"Brock you couldn't stand being around us when we were sick, I will get real sick with the treatment, can handle that"?
"Yes I can Reba let me try"
Reba walked over she went into his arms as he wrapped his arms around her, and whispered.
"I will not let you down Reba, I promise you, I am here for you"
"Brock I'm sorry she hurt you, she is a fool"
Brock touched her cheek, and Reba moved toward his touch, and shut his eyes, as Brock kissed her ever so lightly on the lips.
They were kissing when Jake ran into the room, and stopped, and just stared as they pulled away from each other, not knowing what to say to him.

Chapter 5
Brock and Reba pull away from each other Reba walked over touching Jake's shoulder.
"I know what you just saw is confusing you Jake, but let us explain"
"You kissed Dad Mom, but how could you"?
"Jake we were talking, and we kissed it didn't mean anything"
"You kissed on the lips Mom, I know what I saw"
"Jake don't raise your voice to your Mom Son"
"Dad I will not let you hurt Mom again"
"I am not hurting your Mom we are just talking, you have to keep what you saw a secret for now"
" You mean I can't tell Barbara Jean"
"Jake can you go to your room, I will come and talk about this after I talk to your Mom"
"No I'm staying, I think you have to go home Dad"
Reba touched Brock's arm, and said.
"Brock maybe you should go home, and talk to Barbara Jean. I will talk to Jake"
"I don't want to leave you Reba"
"I'm fine Brock, please go for now"
Brock turned and touched Jake's shoulder, and said.
"Son I know you are upset, but I promise you, I will never hurt your Mom again"
Jake didn't say anything Brock walked out, and went downstairs, and left the house.
Reba sat on the bed, and Jake walked over, and sat beside her.
"Mom I know I'm a kid but I know this is wrong. I heard you talk to Cheyenne, I know Dad hurt you, but you always say two wrongs don't make it right, you really want to hurt Barbara Jean Mom"?
"Jake I can't get into what is going on with your Dad, and Barbara Jean, but I'm not trying to hurt her Jake"
"Mom I want you happy, and I love Dad so much, and I would love for him to come home, but if he hurts you again, I will hate him"
"Jake that is your Dad your talking about, you could never hate your Dad"
"Maybe but I love you so much Mom, and I'm worried about you"
"You don't have to worry about me Jake, I will be fine"
"Mom I can see something is wrong what is it"?
"Oh nothing, I'm just tired, I need some sleep"
Jake got up, "I will let you rest, but I will be downstairs if you need me".
Reba hugged Jake as he left the room after shutting the door. Reba was holding in her tears but as soon as Jake left she grabbed the pillow, and cried like she has never cried before. She curled up, and cried herself to sleep wondering if she would have a normal life again, or would this illness take her away from what was most important to her, she loved her children, and she loved Brock, but could they ever get back what they lost when he walked out of her life?.
Over at Barbara Jean's, and Brock's home
Brock walked into the house, Henry saw his Dad he ran over hugging him. Brock knelt down, and smiled.
"Hey Henry"
"Mommy said you were not coming home tonight, I am so happy you are here. I am playing a game do you want to play too"?
"Maybe later but where is your Mom"?
"Upstairs she said she is tired, and she needs to rest"
"You go play your game, and after I talk to your Mom, I will come down, and than we can talk"
"OK Daddy" Henry ran over to the couch, and sat down as Brock looked at him. He was such an amazing boy, and Brock knew he was going to hurt him when he leaves Barbara Jean, but he was going to be there for Henry every step of the way. He walked upstairs, and got to his room, he knocked waiting for her to answer.
"Henry Mommy is tired go play your game"
"Barbara Jean can I come in"?
"Brock" He heard her run to the door, and open it.
"I thought you were not coming home tonight"
"I'm not staying, I just came back to talk to you"
"Brock my head is pounding, I'm not talking about this right now"
"Barbara Jean you can't dismiss me not this time"
"Dismiss really Brock"
"I can't believe you Barbara Jean, you slept with another man, how am I suppose to deal with that fact"?
"I was lonely you are not the same, I basically have to beg for some affection from you"
"I'm moving out, I'm going to stay at Reba's place, I will see Henry , and I promise you, I will never hurt our boy"
"You are moving in with Reba are you serious"?
"Yes she needs some help, my kids are there, I will stay in the guest room"
"How long has this been going on Brock"?
"What are you talking about"?
"You and Reba that night you called me Reba was no mistake was it, how long have you two been cheating behind my back"?
"You are way out of line we never cheated behind your back, she is a friend, and I'm moving in with her, and I don't want you making a scene"
"Oh I am not sitting here letting you get away with this Brock."
Brock turned to grab a suitcase but he was shocked when Barbara Jean ran out of the room, and downstairs. He was packing up, he didn't realize she ran out of the house, and was on her way over to Reba's.
