"Clear!"

Barbara's body jumped as the doctor shocked her, trying to restart her heart. The wires on her chest showed nothing changed on the heart monitor, making the doctor and nurses continue CPR. Vinny stood in the doorway and watched in horror. He had to go through Leo's death, now he was watching Barbara die in front of him.

"Sir, can you go in the waiting room?" the doctor asked. "We'll let you know how your wife is doing."

"She-"

Vinny sighed and looked at Barbara. He lied and said he was her husband just so he could be there for her. He looked at the doctor and shook his head.

"I have to stay with her", Vinny said. "I need to make sure she's going to be alright. What am I going to say to the kids?"

He turned and watched the doctor press down on Barbara's chest, trying to get her heart to beat. A nurse put a mask over Barbara's face pumping air into her. Another nurse was injecting drugs into Barbara to help kick-start her heart, but nothing seemed to be working.

"Come on, Barbs", Vinny said, "Fight it. A lousy heart attack can't kill you, can it? You're stronger than that."

"Clear!" the doctor ordered.

Vinny watched Barbara's body jump again. Nothing changed on the monitor. Everyone watch in sadness as the monitor showed a long horizontal line move across the screen and one single sound was made throughout the room.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep...

"Barbara..." Vinny said watching.

"Okay, that's it", the doctor sighed. "I'm calling it. Time of death: 5:32 PM."

Vinny looked at her with wide eyes. Barbara was really dead? The doctor pulled his gloves off and sighed as he turned the light off. A nurse removed the wires from Barbara's chest and covered her body with a sheet.

"Do you want me to tell the family?" the doctor asked.

"No", Vinny answered. "I'll do it. Can I have a moment alone with her?"

He nodded and shut the door, leaving Vinny alone with Barbara. He sighed as he pulled the sheet off her face, seeing how blank and emotionless it was.

"I thought you were stronger than this", Vinny said. "Well, it looks like you got your wish. You can be with your Brian again."

He looked at her and ran his finger down her cheek.

"Don't worry", he said. "I'll take care of the kids for you."

Vinny looked at her and pressed his lips against hers for what was his first and only kiss with her. He covered her face with the sheet before walking back to the waiting room where the Griffins and the puppies were.

"How is she, Vinny?" Lois asked worried.

"Is Mom okay?" Briana asked. "Can we see her?"

Vinny looked at everyone seeing how worried they were about her. It was the most scared he had ever seen them. He sighed and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry", he said. "She didn't make it."

"She's dead?" Lois gasped.

"No!" Marcus said shaking his head. "Mom can't be dead!"

He tried to push past Vinny to see for himself. Vinny wrapped his arms around the puppy and held him tightly as he cried.

"Mommy..." he cried.

Everyone else cried as well. Barbara had gone to join Brian in death.
