During the evening, Mac and Aria were engaged in preparations for the nursery. Mac observed Aria, who was attending to the windows, and noticed that she appeared somewhat faint.

Mac inquired, "Is everything alright, babe?"

Aria responded vaguely, "I feel-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Aria lost consciousness.

"Aria!" Mac exclaimed, momentarily abandoning their tasks. He promptly lifted her and carried her to the couch.

Mac then retrieved a bowl, filled it with water, and proceeded to the bathroom to obtain a washcloth. After wetting the cloth, he placed it on Aria's forehead, which elicited an immediate response as she regained consciousness.

"Mac," Aria murmured.

"Are you feeling alright, babe?" Mac asked.

Aria nodded in response.

"Is your abdomen discomforting you?" he continued, to which Aria again nodded, indicating she was experiencing pain in her stomach.

"It is likely that you injured your abdomen when you fainted," Mac suggested, and Aria acknowledged this with another nod.

He gently kissed her abdomen and said, "You should remain here and rest while I attend to the windows."

Aria affirmed his suggestion with a nod.

Mac then kissed her forehead and abdomen before leaving her to resume work on the windows in the nursery.
