Its been two straight days of silence in this big house.

No music...

No TV...

No people...

I haven't left this house since he left to go see what's wrong with his mother. we had argued whether I should go or not but Jamie basically made it clear that she didn't want me there.

Rosie kept me company and helped me with my three little children as we wait for a phone call.

I was sitting outside by the pool with Aiden in my arms to keep my nerves down. I was throwing the ball back and forth for Geronimo.

FUCK IT!

I went into the house and went into the living room where Rosie was. She looks up and she widens her eyes.

"you're going?", She asks

"Yes, that is my mother in law and I should be there for my soon to be husband", I say and laid Aiden down next to his sister

"okay, I am going to call Taylor to help me with the kids you go everything is under control", She says

I go into the freezer and see there was only 15 bags of frozen milk.

"if they run out its okay to give them formula only 3 ounces", I called

"gotcha"

I run to my room and packed a back pack of clothes for me. I grabbed my purse and put everything in it that I would need. I grabbed my keys and went down to the garage to get into my car.

God, Please make sure my mother is alright...

Hawaii...

I drove to Bernie's house, but I did so carefully because it was dark and it was a dirt road. I pulled into the driveway and no cars was there so I pulled out and made my way to the hospital Bruno's uncle had told me where they were.

I parked my car and ran into the hospital to the front desk.

"Hi, how may I help you?", she asks without looking at me

"I am here to see Bernadette, Hernandez", I say

She laughs. "another fan, sorry but I can't let you through or give you her information", she says

"I am Bruno's Fiancee I have the right to go", I say

She looks up and smiles.

"No"

I take my phone out and showed her the picture of Bruno, the twins, and I when we were in the hospital.

"do you believe me now?", I snapped

She sighs. " third floor room 314", she says

I nod and went to the elevator. It felt like I was in there for hours until the door opened. I looked around and begin walking in some sort of direction until I saw Bruno. He had a baseball cap on and sunglasses on I couldn't really tell if he was asleep or not the way he was leaning against the wall.

"Baby?", I cried

He looks up and stands.

"Bella", he breathes

I hugged him tightly and look at him.

"what are you doing here? Where are the kids?", he asks

"the kids are fine and I am here because she's my mother too", I say

He kisses me and hugs me.

"Can I see her?", I asked

"come on", he says

He takes my hand and leads me into her room. He open the door, revealing everyone who was either asleep or was close to it, and then I see her. Bernie lying on her bed sleeping.

"I don't want to wake her", I whispered

"why are you here?" Jaime says

"Jamie shut the fuck up", Bruno says

"I said she was not to come this is a family matter", She sneered

"Then why is Jessie here? Chill the fuck out", Bruno says

"Stop fighting", I hear a soft voice say

I turn to see Bernie looking at us weakly.

"Let me talk to Bella and Bruno...alone", she says

Everyone who was awake left the room, Bruno and I went up to her, and I sat down while he stood behind me.

"I have hope for you both. I want you two to love one another and not leave each other. Bruno she is your match", She breathes

"how do you know?", I asked

"you're here aren't you", she says

I felt the tears form.

"Mom, please don't go", Bruno says with a broken voice

"I am proud of you and I want you to know that.", She says

I stand up and hugged Bruno before he fell to the floor.

"don't give up on each other the kids need you...you both need each other", she breaths

the room was filled with Bruno cries.

"Call my kids back so I can say goodbye", She says

I left the room after making sure was sitting. I go out and looked at everyone with tearful eyes.

"What?", Tahiti ask

"She want to say goodbye to you guys", I sniffed

They walked passed me into the room. I slid down against the wall and cried my eyes out. After a few minutes the door opens and Bruno walks out.

"I am here", I say

He looks down, I stand up, and he stares at me before breaking down in tears.

That's how I knew she was gone.

Rest in peace to Bernadette who passed away June 1st, 2013.
