Hello, thank you to all who reviewed the last chapter your reviews mean so much! I was reading through all of my reviews and my chapters and I noticed that I had written that Bianca was pregnant in the chapter The Day Before, now because I was focused on the wedding I completely forgot to continue it on, now I have decided that Bianca miscarried and because only Heath and Charlie knew nobody else found out. Hope that is okay! So sorry that I forgot anyway here is the next chapter hope you are all satisfied with it! I am up to 195 reviews and want to get to 200 before I add chapter 40! Eek so please review and the 200th reviewer gets a mention! Remember to review! Dannielle xoxo

HEATH POV

It had been two days since Dr Walker had told us about the decision we had to make. Nobody wanted to make the decision which meant every time we sat down to discuss it an argument would break out. I was lying in bed staring at the ceiling, just thinking about Bella. It was 1am and Bianca was sleeping softly for the first time. I woke up to the sun hitting my face, looked at the clock 8am. It was the latest that I had slept for a few days, Bianca was gone so I climbed out and headed downstairs.

I found her sitting at the table staring into her mug, I kissed her forehead as I sat down next to her "Brax called, he is heading to the hospital at 9am" she said, I nodded "okay we better get ready then" I said as we headed upstairs to change. I came back downstairs ready to leave to find Bianca already waiting. She was wearing a pair of black yoga pants and a white tank and blue zip up jumper over the top. I passed her bag to her and grabbed her hand as we left for the hospital.

BRAX POV

It was cold and quiet in the hospital, Bella's body was lying still on the bed the only noise was the sound of the ventilator rhythmic popping as it pumped life into Bella and the heart monitors beeping telling us that for now she was alive – sort of. I had arranged for Sid to meet everyone at our house for lunch so that he could explain what our options are. We had picked Mckenzie up that morning and she was now sleeping peacefully in her pram. Ruby had not been in to visit her since the day she was admitted, she was out late at night partying and was constantly drinking. Charlie was worried sick but knew that this was her grief talking and that soon enough she would come around, we made sure that her diabetes was in check but that was all we could do. Casey had hardly uttered a word in days, Heath was constantly angry and was always yelling at something, whether it was the vending machine for eating his change or a nurse who was coming to check on Bella. There was nothing any of us could do, only time would tell how we dealt with this.

Soon enough lunch time rolled around and we had all gone back to our place and we gathered around the dining table. Sid sat across from us as we waited for him to begin. "What do you want to know?" he asked kindly "What are her chances?" I asked scared of the answer "Well as I have said Bella's brain was starved of oxygen for too long which means that her brain is not able to function so she cannot breathe on her own and never will be able to" he said slowly "what is that machine doing?" Heath asked "the life support machine is a ventilator that is supplying Bella with the oxygen that she needs to stay alive" he said "so can she wake up?" Heath asked again "no, Bella's brain can't function which means she can't breathe on her own which is why she needs the machine to do it for her" Sid said patiently "what happens when it gets turned off?" Charlie asked "the machine stops pumping oxygen into Bella's lungs meaning she won't get the oxygen she needs to survive and her heart will stop beating" Sid said sadly "so you want us to let her die" Heath asked angrily, I watched as Bianca placed a hand on his shoulder and he relaxed "you need to understand that by turning the machine off you are not killing her you are simply letting her go peacefully, technically Bella died the minute her brain ceased to function" Sid explained "can we be there?" I asked "of course" Sid nodded "we can't turn the machine off" Heath exclaimed "Heath it's the right thing to do" Charlie said softly "killing her is right!" he bellowed "turn off the machine" Casey spoke calmly. We all turned to face him, it was the first time in almost 4 days he had spoken.

"What Case?" I asked "turn off the machine, it is what she wants" Casey said again calmly. We all looked at on another before Heath finally nodded "okay we'll turn it off" he said. Sid nodded "okay well we will arrange it for this afternoon" he said before standing and leaving. We decided that if today was Bella's last day she wouldn't spend a moment of it alone.

The afternoon came around all to quickly and it was now 5 o'clock and Sid had arrived to turn off the machine. We stood back and watched as they carefully removed the tube from Bella's throat, we all gathered around her Casey holding one hand, Heath the other. Charlie gently laid Mckenzie down beside Bella as I stroked her hair. Charlie had her hand on her leg as did Bianca and Cooper stood at the end of the bed as Sid turned off the ventilator and her heart rate started to decline. Tears flooded our eyes as everyone started crying, when suddenly a loud buzzing sound filled the room as her heart stopped beating. I heard a loud sob from behind, I turned and saw Ruby standing there, I waved her over as she broke down in my arms. Finally facing the fact that Bella had died….

How was that? Now please don't hate me, I love a twist and I have a few in store so please don't give up on the story yet! PLEASE DON'T! I want you all to review and tell me what you thought even if it is just something like 'NO!' it still counts and helps, so please anything!
