The puppies held each other as they cried. The Griffins were driving to the veterinary clinic where they were taking Barbara. Everyone was absolutely shocked when they saw Barbara practically lifeless on the front lawn with Vinny trying to revive her. Right now, Meg and Chis were holding the puppies, trying to keep them looking in the back of the car where Vinny was still trying to revive Barbara.
"What's going to happen?" Jenny asked. "If Mom dies, what'll happen to us?"
"Don't think about that", Lois said as Peter sped through the streets. "Barbara is not going to die."
"But..."
"She's not going to die!" the whole family yelled.
The puppies looked down scared trying to keep their hopes up. Barbara couldn't die. They couldn't lose their mother after losing their father so soon. All four of them closed their eyes and held each other's hands, praying as hard as they could in silence.
Don't leave us, Mom. We love you, Mom. We still need you. Please come back.
They didn't know how Barbara took such a sudden turn for the worst. Barbara wasn't mourning as bad as she did in the beginning. She wasn't crying 24/7. Sure, she felt sad and lonely here or there, but she didn't cry. Barbara took her pain out on eating. All the junk she ate led to this, giving herself a heart attack.
Vinny was on top of Barbara, straddling her trying to bring her back. He continued pressing down on her chest trying to make her heart beat, so far to no avail. He grabbed her face and breathed into her, trying to get her to start breathing again. Barbara had been technically dead for at least a minute and he knew her chances of coming back with no brain damage was growing slim.
"Come on, Barbs", he whispered, trying not to scare the puppies. "Come on, snap out of it."
Vinny pressed his ear to her chest trying to see if he could hear her heartbeat. He sighed as he heard nothing.
"I'm not going to let you die so easily", he said. "I know you can hear me, you crazy broad. Fight the light. Stay away."
He made a fist and brought it down onto her chest with force. Everyone gasped when they heard the sound of a dull crack. Vinny might have just broken some of Barbara's ribs.
"Step on it, Peter!" Lois yelled.
Peter stepped on the gas, trying to get to the vet before Barbara could be announce dead on arrival.
