If there was one thing Naomi didn't mind doing, it was grocery shopping. It gave her the opportunity to get out the house, which she rarely did now that she had Arielle and Matthew. "Mama, ceweal?" Arielle tugged on the edge of her skirt by Naomi's side, peering up at her mother with big green eyes. Matthew gurgled from the cart in front of her. "Go ahead sweetheart, pick one out." Arielle giggled, turning to pick out her favorite cereal. That's when a sharp pain crossed Naomi's forehead. She let out a tiny gasp, closing her eyes and touching a hand to her forehead. "Mama?" Arielle tugged on her skirt again. "Mama, okay?" "Yeah, baby Mommy's fine. Come on, let's buy this and go see daddy, okay?" "Dada~" Arielle stood on her tip-toes, tossing the box of Fruity Pebbles into the cart and taking Naomi's hand once again. They made their way to the check out, buying their groceries and then getting packed into the car. Another jab of pain, however, caused Naomi to falter in her driving. She swerved a bit, trying hard to keep her eyes open. After a second the pain grew too bad and she had to pull over to avoid an accident. Pulling out her cell phone, she quickly texted Max hey, do you think you could meet us at the park?

Max was just leaving for home after his class ended just two minutes earlier, when he felt a sudden buzzing in his pants pocket. He stopped to set his books down to check his phone real quick, and saw it was none other than his wife, Naomi. He quickly texted back, Sure, I was just leaving campus anyway. And made his way quickly back to the car and raced on over to the park. Max was curious as to what the text meant. Was it an emergency? Had something happened to Arielle? Matthew? God knows if something else happened to Naomi, that poor girl already has so much to deal with.
Max swerved his car into the park's parking lot, waiting to see if he caught sight of any small red-heads or worried mothers. None that he saw yet. He must of went over the speed limit all the way down here, because it only took him like, five minutes to get here rather than the usual fifteen.

Not sure of how long it would take Max to get here after receiving the text from him, Naomi let Arielle out of the car to play a bit, taking Matthew in his stroller and sitting on a bench. Her headache was steadily growing worse, so she closed her eyes in an attempt to sooth her head. She didn't notice Max's car pull up because of her closed eyes, but faintly heard Arielle's excited squeals. The young girl ran to her daddy's car, knocking on the door once she reached it. "Dada~ Dada~!"

Max was about to text Naomi letting her know he was there, when he heard a sudden knock plus squealing coming from outside of his car. He looked out, seeing his own baby girl jumping up and down on her toes. He chuckled. He opened the door carefully, closing it all the same, and picked up the giggly red-head. "Hey baby girl~" he greeted with a wide smile, kissing her forehead. "Where's momma, Ari?" Arielle's answer was a simple point over to one of the benches near the playground. Max walked up to the dark-haired girl, setting back down Arielle once she started squirming out of his arms and he casually sat down next to Naomi. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her temple softly. "Hey there, beautiful."

Naomi was starting to doze, the pain in her head forcing her under. She was in the half sleep, half awake stage when Max's voice startled her, and her eyes snapped open. "M-Max! When--how did you get here so fast? Where's Ari, is she okay?" Naomi immediately panicked, though there really wasn't a need to. She hadn't expected to fall asleep, especially not when she hadn't been at all tired today. Naomi blinked, wincing lightly and laid her head against Max's shoulder. "How was class?" She finally whispered, after seeing Ari sliding down the slide.

Max opened his mouth to try to calm Naomi down a little, but when she laid her head on his shoulder, he closed it again, leaving just a smile across his face. "Class was fine. Got loads of homework to do once I get home, but its all good. The real question is though, are you okay? You seem a little....un-focused...what's going on?" he asked again, lifting his hand up to brush a strand of hair out of Naomi's face, and ending up stroking her cheek in the process. He glanced down to see how Matt was doing real quick, but after seeing he was fast asleep, he turned his attention straight back to Naomi, waiting for her answer.

Naomi frowned a bit at Max's question, raising her head. She started to answer, but paused when she felt the headache began to ease. "I---I had a really bad headache," she left out the part where she almost crashed, "but it's starting to feel better now." She sat up fully, placing a hand on her forehead. "I don't know what it was. It started at the store, and I felt like my head was gonna explode. But, it's nearly gone now."

Max continued to stroke her cheek, just trying to keep her calm and soothed. "Well...as long as you're alright." he said, kissing her forehead gently. Suddenly a cry was heard from the stroller in front of them. Max chuckled. "Looks like someone's awake again." he went down to pick up his newborn son, and cradled him in his arms. "Hey there, Matty. Just waking up now, aren't we?" he cooed at the baby, having him gurgle a bit in response before letting him suck on his daddy's finger. Less than two seconds later then, a long drool came sliding out of Matt's mouth and onto his onesie. Max couldn't help but laugh it off. "Hey, uh, Nai...you wouldn't happen to have a blanket or something on you by any chance do you?" he chuckled, letting Matt continue to suckle on his finger as it was making him happy.

Naomi offered a smile, looking over at Matthew when he began to wake up as well. She kept her head rested against Max's shoulder, watching as Matt began to drool on his daddy. Scrunching up her nose, she pulled away from Max. "Yeah, here." She grabbed the small bag on the handle of the stroller, grabbing his burping cloth out of it and wiping off the drool before handing it to Max so he could wipe off his finger. "Dada! Mama, wookit!" Arielle called suddenly. She waited for the attention of her parents before sliding down the slide on her belly, slowly coming to a stop right before falling off. She rolled onto her back with a giggle, clapping her hands together.

Max laughed at Naomi's scrunched up face, and grabbed the rag that was handed to him. He wiped up his wet finger and later grabbed hold of his binky he found laying on top of his baby bag and stuck that in his mouth instead. And instead, he gave back his finger to let his son grasp and play with rather than suckle on it some more. At the sound of Arielle's shrieking voice then, Max looked up instantly. He smiled warmly at his daughter having fun down the slide and chuckled at the landing she made at the end. "Very good, Ari! Next time though, you think you could land on your feet? It would help you not get as dirty as you are now." he chuckled, watching his daughter pout at first, but just ended up giggling in the end. After clapping her hands repeatedly again, she rushed back up the latter to the top of the slide to repeat the scenario on her belly. This time though, when she slid to the ground, she did a sort of crooked somersault once she fell to the ground and rolled onto her feet a bit wobbly-ish.

Naomi giggled lightly at Max's suggesting, and then shook her head lightly at Ari's pout. "I wonder where she gets so much energy from." She mused as she watched Arielle repeatedly climb up the ladder and slide down, each time in a new position. She watched for a while, until she finally remembered something. "Ah! I have milk in the car! It's gonna spoil if we don't get it in a fridge."

Max kept her eyes on Arielle for another moment, chuckling at Naomi's comment. "Beats me. I mean, surely, it can't come from me...the active and athletic one." he chuckled teasingly, turning back to Naomi and Matt who's eyes were now half way closed again. "Oh." he replied to her further comment. "Well, I guess we should start our way back home then, huh?" he suggested, leaning over to set Matt back in his stroller. But before he could, Matt woke up just enough to whine and grab hold of Max's shirt tighter, not wanting to be put down. "Ah, Matt, it's alright buddy. We're going home. I'll hold you then, alright?" Matt wouldn't have it though, he continued to whine and climbing back into his daddy's arms stubbornly. Max sighed. "Maybe it'll help if I take him the rest of the way home?" he suggested, though it ended up being more of a question. Without waiting, Max called in Arielle. "Ari! Come on, sweetie, we're going home now!"

"Oh no, of course it wasn't from you. Although, I did do gymnastics you know." Naomi giggled, also turning her attention to Matthew. "Yeah. Have you eaten anything yet? We haven't had lunch yet, so I'm sure they're hungry." Naomi smiled a bit at Matt's clingy behavior, kissing the baby's cheek lightly. "Yeah, I think he missed you." She looked over as Ari began to run towards them, running straight into her mommy's arms, breathing heavy. "Ready to come home with daddy baby?" "Ya!" Arielle giggled, resting her head on Naomi's shoulder. Naomi gestured to the stroller, which had Matt's carseat built in. "I'll meet you at home?" She kissed Max lightly before taking Arielle towards their car.

"Oh, yeah...I nearly forgot about that." Max chuckled, adjusting Matt in his arms as he was fidgeting again. "Yeah, actually I am pretty hungry. I literally drove down here from school, so I haven't had time to have any lunch yet." he explained, finally able to unlatch Matthew from his neck and set into his stroller, although his arms were still reaching up towards his daddy. "I know, Matty. We're going home now, okay? I'll be sure to pick you up and feed you then." he reassured the baby. And as if he understood, Matt lowered his arms, but tried his hardest to keep his sleepy eyes open. "Alright, then. I'll meet you ladies at home." he said, giving Arielle a quick kiss on the head after kissing his wife first, and set out to his car to get Matthew settled in for the short ride.
