After months of estrangement, Britney Spears finally picked up the phone and called the one person she needed most: Her mother. Lynne Spears immediately went into action, hopping a flight on October 5 to L.A. from Kentwood, Louisiana, along with 16-year-old Jamie Lynne.

Britney, 25, was a bundle of nerves that night as she waited for the arrival of her mom and sister.

“She was extremely excited,” says a pal. “She was shaking.”

“It must have taken a lot for Britney to let down her guard,” says Britney friend Robert Baker, director of the Millennium Dance Complex. “She felt betrayed by her mom when she first went to rehab. But there are times you just need your family.”

If anyone needs a mom right now, it’s Britney, who can perhaps better appreciate her mother’s pain at being separated from her own flesh and blood.

But can even the most loving mom help her daughter, who was labeled “a habitual, frequent and continuous” user of drugs and alcohol by the judge who awarded Kevin Federline, 29, temporary full custody of their sons?

For more on Britney’s reunion with her mother and the latest details on her custody battle over her kids, check out the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands this week.
