"How you feeling?" Rafe questions his sister as he walks into the room, a bowl of fruit in his hands.

Ariella turns her head away from her window, to look at him. She gives him a small smile. "Fine. Barely slept last night. All I could think about was JJ."

"I told you..." Rafe passes her the bowl of fruit as they sit down on her bed. "That Pogue is going to cause you more hurt than anything."

"He's made me the happiest ever." Ariella snaps, her hand on her bump. "Without him, I don't know where I'd be."

"And yet, he still hurt you." Rafe retorts. "He called you a 'slut' for christ sakes, Ari. Who in their right mind calls their girlfriend and mother of their child a 'slut'?"

Ariella stays quite for a moment, running her hand through her hair. He wasn't wrong. She only looks down at her belly, before going to speak. "You've done worse."

"I-I know." Rafe rubs his jaw, he moves the plate from her hands and grabs his sister's hands. "I will spend every moment making it up to you. I need you back, Ari. I need my sister. I lost myself when you left. From this moment on, I'm here for you and-and the baby all the way."

Ariella eyes his face, all she saw was sincerity. Ariella though, couldn't help but to wonder how long it would really last until he changed again. The girl only nods in response. "I'll hold you to that. It's going to take so much for me to forgive you. Like so much, but now give me my food."

Rafe chuckles and passes her the bowl of fruit back. The two sit in the room, actually enjoying each other's company. Just like the old times. She even got to chance to contact her Uncle and let him know everything.

Ariella was currently in a car with Nathan, Topper and Sarah. The two girls say in the back as Sarah filled the girl in about what she had found only two doors next to where she way.

"The island room?" Ariella repeats, her voice low. "And it was ripped off when you were there?"

"Yup." Sarah nods and looks to Topper who was driving. "You really need to step on it."

"I'm going as fast as I can." He exclaims, passing Kie's parents restaurant.

"We're almost there." Ariella tells her sister, she places a hand on her stomach. "I can't believe I didn't hear what was going on. I should've known something was off when I couldn't find Rafe when I woke up from my nap. I'm so stupid."

"You were tired. You're pregnant and you haven't exactly had rest." Sarah retorts. "Don't blame yourself so sleeping."

"It's not that." Ariella glances out the window. "I let Rafe get into my head. He was saying all these nice things, he felt like the old Rafe and I believed him. If it's him that went into that room and he knows..."

"We need to find out what he found and get to it fast." Sarah finishes for her.

Just a couple minutes later, Ariella and Sarah found themselves walking towards the back of the Chateau, not seeing any of them inside the house. The sound of their footsteps catching the attention of the four Pogues in the back, silence filled the air.

"Well, hello, princesses." JJ is first to break the silence.

The girls don't respond to him as Sarah walks towards Kie and Ariella walks towards Pope who embraces her into a hug. JJ's eyes go hard watching the two big each other.

"What's up?" Kiara asks the two sisters.

"Shouldn't you be on Figure Eight with your little group of polo players?" John B allows his eyes to look between the two Cameron's, they set on Sarah. "Or did you break up with Topper?"
