The puppies looked down as they sat outside the attic. Lois had called the vet to come check on Barbara and her pups. Ever since she collapsed in front of Vinny, she hadn't gotten out of bed. She hadn't even woken up. Everyone was getting worried for her and the puppies' sakes. Lois and Peter watched as the vet checked on Barbara.
"Doctor, how is she?" Lois asked. "Will Barbara and the puppies be okay?"
"This is not good", the vet said. "I'm afraid Barbara is suffering from a condition known as pre-eclampsia."
"Is this serious?" Peter asked.
"It's very serious. It's a multi-system disorder of pregnancy traditionally characterized by the occurrence of elevated blood pressure. We aren't sure how this starts, but it is the second common cause for death in pregnancies."
"English, please", Peter frowned.
"She has high blood pressure", the vet explained. "If left untreated, Barbara will develop seizures. Barbara and the puppies will die if this happens."
"Oh my god!" Lois gasped. "What can we do to treat it?"
"Mrs. Griffin, he only known treatment for pre-eclampsia is to deliver the puppies as soon as possible."
"What?" she said. "But it's far too early for the puppies to be born. They wouldn't survive."
The vet sighed as he packed up his equipment.
"If you like, we can admit her to keep observation to make sure she recovers. I have to be honest with you. I wouldn't expect any miracles, if I were you."
The vet picked up Barbara, taking her to his car. The puppies watched scared as they saw their mother being taken away.
"Mom!" Jenny called out.
"Where's he taking her?" Marcus asked.
"Your mother's very sick", Lois answered. "He's taking her to watch her for a few days to make sure she gets better."
The puppies watched as Lois and Peter walked away, looking almost as sad as they did when Brian died. The puppies looked at each other more scared than they had ever been. What was going to happen to them if they lost their mother as well?
"This is all that dog's fault", Stewie said glaring. "He came here and caused all this trouble, didn't he?"
"I guess", Briana said. "Mom was okay, then when the new dog came, she only got worse."
"Well that does it", Stewie said. "We're getting rid of Vinny."
"Awesome!" Ollie shouted in excitement. "But how are you going to do it?"
"I'm going to tell Vinny so much bad news about Italian-Americans that he goes into cardiac arrest."
With that, Stewie walked into the kitchen where Vinny was, with a sad look on his face.
"Vinny, there you are," he said, getting his attention. "I have some terrible news. Sal Annuncio's kid was killed by a falling piano!"
"Oh!" Vinny shouted, clutching his heart. "How could this happen? That kid was an honors student! He just applied to SUNY Albany."
"He just got in to SUNY Albany," Stewie replied.
"Ohhh!" Vinny shouted again, cluctching his heart again. "This is too much, Stewie, I can't take it!"
The puppies were amazed to see Stewie's plan working when Chris walked in.
"Hey, Vinny," Chris said. "Bobby Lammaduro's kid just got out of the hospital. He beat the cancer!"
"Oh, thank heavens," Vinny said, letting go of his heart in relief. "Big man in the sky knows what he's doing." On this, he air drew a cross over his chest and walked away.
"Chris, what are you doing?" Stewie asked his older brother, shrugging.
"Call me a creep, you piece of crap?!" Chris shouted before punching Stewie and walking off. The puppies walked to Stewie as he recovered. They frowned as they looked at him unimpressed.
"Well," Jenny began, "that plan didn't work."
"Do you have any better ideas?" Stewie asked.
"Dad told us how you used to have awesome plans when you tried to kill Lois", Marcus said. "Use those plans on Vinny."
"You guys really want to do this?" he asked.
"Trust me", Briana said. "Vinny with Mom is the last thing we want to see."
"And if Mom dies", Ollie added. "There will be no mercy!"
