Chapter 37

Reba woke up to the baby kicking her, she didn't mind, she woke up smiling and laughing."Good morning to you too Lylah" Reva said looking down at her stomach. Narvel woke up and rolled over. "Mornin" he said "mornin" she replied. He noticed she didn't look up from her stomach so he assumed the baby was moving. He placed his hand on hers and felt the kick."How far along are we?" He asked "five months." She replied."This pregnancy is going by so fast" Narvel said."I know!"she said excitedly."I can't wait to meet her" He replied "Me either, she is going to be precious!" Reba squealed."She is going to look just like you." Narvel said. " how do you know?" She asked."Because you are so beautiful" He said.Reba blushed and kissed him."What time is it?" Reba asked."Around 9" he replied looking at his clock."We should probably get up. I think Pake is bringing Pecos over before we leave" Reba stated."Yep, can you believe we've been here over a week?" He asked."Nope, it's been so good to see everyone again." She responded."I know! And I'm pretty sure Susie and Alice will be sad that they won't be able to see your baby bump." Narvel joked."I know" Reba said laughing.

They laughed and there was a knock at the door."Come in." Reba said. Jackie walked in with a tray full of food."Breakfast in bed and Pecos Pete is down stairs when y'all get done." Jackie said."Oh,and can you bring him up here? He can have breakfast with us." Reba said."Sure darlin" Jackie answered walking out."What made you decide to do that?" Narvel asked."Oh I'm sorry do you mind?" She asked completely forgetting to ask Narvel. "It's fine!" He assured.She kissed him again and Jackie brought in Pecos Pete."Hey buddy!" She said excitedly. He giggled and reached for her. Jackie set him down in Reba's lap."Hi Ba" He said. She laughed and kissed his cheek."Hi buddy." Narvel said."Do you want to play with Lylah while uncle Narvel and I eat breakfast? Reba asked her nephew.He smiled and nodded."This is what it would be like if we had one when Shelby was his age" Reba pointed out."I wouldn't mind that. Maybe we should try for number 3 when Lylah is a year old." Narvel replied."Would you be the one getting pregnant" Reba sassed."Well no, but-" Reba cut him off "But nothin." "Aunt Ba" Pecos Pete asked. "What is it baby?" She replied."She fell asleep again" He whined."Awe I'm sorry buddy." She said."Well then wake her up"Narvel joked.Reba giggled and hit his shoulder.Pecos Pete decided to take his uncles advice and promptly sit on top of Reba's belly. She quickly picked him up."Don't quash her." Reba said."I want her to wake up!" He whined."The longer she sleeps, the longer she'll stay awake." Reba explained."Uncle Narvel WAKE HER UP" He screamed."Pecos Pete." Reba scolded."What" He said."I reckon the attitude runs in the family." Narvel said."Narvel" Reba glared.He threw his hand up."Buddy, you wanna help us eat?" Narvel asked."Yes, I'm sorry aunt Ba"He apologized for hurting her."Aw you're fine bud." She said.

They all finished eating. They all go downstairs to the living room.Reba was carrying Pecos, he liked her more than Narvel."Hi guys" Reba said."Afternoon." Pake said "It's only 10 o clock" She sassed. "We've been up a lot longer than you." He sassed back."That's nice" She said."Alright you too." Jackie scolded.

"How's is my niece doing?" Pake asked. "Fine. Pecos was a little upset that she fell asleep, he wanted to play." She said."Did he try to sit on her again?" She asked."Yes." She replied. "Sorry about that" Pake apologized for his sons action."He's fine." Reba said."What time is your flight leaving?" Jackie asked."2:00pm" Narvel answered."That soon?" Reba asked."Sorry babe." Narvel said."Sure you are."She sassed."What? I am, I didnt know you wanted to leave later." He defended."I always want the latest flight,when we leave family" She said."I'm sorry. I can change it." He said."It's too late now" She said sadly."Honey, I'm sorry." He said."I know you are" She said.Pecos hugged her neck and buried his face in her shoulder."Are you sad that were leaving buddy" Reba asked.He nodded his head."I'm sad too" Pake said.Reba poked her lip out and rubbed Pecos's back."I don't want you to leaving." Pecos started to cry."I'm sorry buddy, I wish I could stay." She said.Narvel look at his wife sadly."I can cancel our flight." He said."You don't have to do that baby" She said."Well you don't want to leave so what's the point in leaving?" He asked."We have to start the Nursery and Shelby" Reba answered."Shelby can do the nursery." Narvel replied."Hahaha your funny darlin." She responded. "Okay then." He said."You guys gotta guy packin." Jackie announced."Already done." Alice said walking down stairs with Susie."When do you guys get here?" Reba asked."Since before you got up." Susie said."I'm really gonna miss yall" Reba said with tears in her eyes."Reba Neller don't start that cryin."Jackie said."I can't help it mama." Reba stated."Aw come here." Susie and Alice said.Both Alice and Susie wrap their arms around Reba and Pecos Pete."Are y'all going to come and visit?" Reba asked."When she is ready for us" Alice said putting her hand on Reba belly."That won't be to long." Narvel said."But I'm ready now." Reba whined."Your really not that big." Alice said."I know, but why can't you visit sooner? I'm not allowed to fly in my third trimester." She asked."Because, we aren't rich." Susie joked."We will pay for your flights" Reba announced.Narvel nearly choked on his spit."You alright there buddy" Pake asked."Yea." He said coughing."Baby, we got to get goin." Narvel said.Tears welled up in her eyes."I'm gonna miss y'all." She said."Where gonna miss you too honey." Jackie said.Reba could feel Pecos grip tighten on her. "We have to go Pecos Pete." Pake said.Pecos hugged Reba tighter."Don't leave." He begged Reba. "They have to go too." Pake said."I'm sorry baby, but we have too." Reba said sadly. He shook his head and kissed Reba's cheek." Can I come with you he asked?""I would love that, but mommy and daddy would miss you too much." Reba answered."But now I'll miss you." He said sadly. No one had the heart to take him."I'll miss you too buddy." She said.Pake walked up to him "Come on buddy." He said."NO!" He yelled and wrapped his arms around Reba's neck."Pecos, I promise that when Lylah gets here you can be the first one to meet her." She coaxed, he didn't budge. "Pecos, I promise that when Lylah gets here you can be the first one to meet her." She coaxed, he didn't budge."Do you guys want to drive us to the airport, so he can be with Reba a little bit longer?" Narvel asked Pake. "I don't see where that would hurt." Pake replied."You hear that buddy,you get to come to the airport with us."Reba said excitedly.Pecos clapped and kissed Reba's cheek again, he was in love with her. Lylah kicked against his leg."I think Lylah is awake buddy" Reba said.His face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Lylah!" He cheered making everyone laugh."We can play in the car." Reba said, he seemed to except this answer.

"Who do you love more Aunt Ba or Lylah?" Narvel asked.He thought long and hard about this question, the expression he made was priceless."Both." Was his final answer. "We love you too." Reba replied. On the way reba and Pecos both fell asleep and Narvel took a picture to send to everyone. It was too cute.
