Nikki tells the receptionist that she and her friends need a hotel room for the night. Aria decides to get her own room because she is afraid of Nikki and wants to ensure her own safety as well as Chase's. The rest of the group goes to their respective rooms. Mac notices Aria and wants to check if she and Chase are okay. Aria is about to enter her room when she hears footsteps and sees Mac. Aria asks Mac what he wants, and he expresses his concern for her and Chase. Aria reassures him that they are fine and asks him to leave. Mac insists that something is wrong and asks Aria to tell him. Aria explains that she feels uncomfortable staying with Mac and Nikki because she is worried about Nikki hurting her or Chase. Mac offers to stay with Aria instead, without informing Nikki.

They enter the room together for the night. Aria goes to the bathroom to get ready for bed and realizes that she looks overweight. When she comes out, she finds Mac sitting on the bed. They exchange greetings, and Aria rests her head on Mac's lap. Mac places his hand on Aria's belly and asks if Chase has been active. Aria is unsure and lifts her shirt to show her belly. Mac playfully pokes her belly and calls out to Chase. Aria notices that Mac's stomach is growling loudly and asks him what is wrong with it. Aria asks Mac if he's hungry, but says
he isn't. Mac then pokes Aria's belly to check if Chase, is active. Aria informs Mac that Chase is kicking, prompting Mac to gently rub her belly. Aria asks if Mac can feel Chase kicking, and he nods in confirmation.

Aria mentions that Chase is kicking hard and it's causing her discomfort. Mac reassures her to relax, close her eyes, and get some sleep. Aria agrees to try and wishes Mac goodnight. They share a kiss before Aria turns away from Mac to fall asleep. Before closing her eyes, Aria says goodnight to Chase.

Later That night,
Aria's nightmare
Mac had been shot and killed. Aria got stabbed in the belly and, it killed Chase. Aria screamed in pain.
Ends
Aria wakes up in tears rubbing her belly. Aria looks to see Mac still asleep.

Aria gets up from the bed without waking Mac, and heads to stand on the bouncy. Mac hears the door closed to the bouncy. He looks to see Aria on the bouncy. Mac gets up and tends to Aria. "Hey, Mac says." "Hey, Aria says." "Babe, what's wrong Mac asks."

"It was only a dream, good thing it wasn't real Aria says." "What wasn't real Mac asks?" "That you and Chase weren't killed Aria says rubbing her eyes." Aria was tearing up because the nightmare scared her so much. "Come here Mac says to Aria." Aria embraced Mac with her arms and legs. They both went inside for the night.
