A\N: Thank you JessMcCall for helping me with writing this chapter. Please vote and comment. Also sorry for the long wait.

Me and Bruno are showered and we made sure the children are showered and dressed appropriately too.

Danny has gotten into the habit of putting on random clothes that don't go together and we usually have to change him into something more suitable.

"Babe, we're out of cranberry sauce," Bruno calls from downstairs as I finish getting a reluctant Danny redressed.

"Okay," I call back.  "I'll go and get some."

I turn to my son.

"Now, I'm warning you, young man.  I want to find you in these clothes when I get home."

He just giggles and runs off.  I pass Ali's room as I hear for the stairs.

"Help your father watch Danny will you, love," I ask.

"Sure thing, mom," she replies.

"That's my girl," I say before I go downstairs and grab my keys.

I go into the kitchen where Bruno is preparing dinner.

"I won't be long," I say and give him a kiss before I leave.

I get into the car and head for the supermarket.  I have to stop at some lights to text Bruno to check if there's anything else we need.

Suddenly, somebody hits ne from behind, hard, jerking me forward but as I turn to see who the hell it was, I just see the truck coming before everything goes dark.

~Bruno's POV~

Dinner's ready and I'm just waiting for Bella to get back.  The supermarket isn't that far away, maybe twenty minutes but I presume she's stuck in queues or traffic so I get the kids to help me set the table.

Fifteen minutes later, I start worrying so I take out my phone and begin to text Bella.

The door bell rings mid text so I answer it to find Phil, Urbana and the kids on the doorstep.

"Hey, guy," I greet them before kissing Urbana on the cheek.

The three kids run off to play with Ali and Danny.

"So where's Bella?" Urbana asks.  "She resting before the dinner?"

"No," I say.  "She went out for cranberry sauce half hour ago and isn't back yet.  I'm starting to worry."

That's when I remember I was texting her so I look at my phone and finish the message before I send it.

I have a conversation with Philip about the Super Bowl performance that we were all doing. I check my phone for the tenth time waiting for a text for Bella that hasn't arrived yet.

"Bruno, she is alright", Phil says
"I know but it's weird the last time she did this was when we had that fight on her birthday", I explain
"She's fine don't worry", Urbana assures

I nodded, I hear the door bell ring so I go, and answer it.

"Hi!" I say when I open the door to Presley, Kealoha, Tahiti, Billy and the children.

"Selah," Ali says as she comes out to take the baby from my sister and the others enter the house just as Jaime and Tiara turn up with Jesse, Marley and Jaimo.

"The traffic coming off of Madonna Road in a killer.  Some kind of accident."

"What?" I ask, panic in my voice.
