A sharp pain in her stomach startled Naomi awake. She shifted, felt herself still wrapped in Max's arms, and winced as the pain grew worse. Then she had about point 2 seconds to dash into the bathroom and make it to the toilet before all the food she'd eaten yesterday came back up. She knelt in front of the toilet at puking for a few minutes, taking deep breaths to try and soothe her stomach. She stood after a while and went to brush her teeth. She had thought it was food poisoning when he same thing happened two mornings ago, and then again yesterday morning.
Naomi silently crept back into the room, fishing in her purse. I've got to have one in here. She thought, finally pulling out a pregnancy test. She went back into the bathroom to use it, eyes growing wide at the result. Her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she put her hand to her mouth to keep quiet.
She couldn't be pregnant again. Arielle wasn't even a year old yet! Besides, they've just started having sex again this past week, and the only other time they'd been together was the night that got her pregnant with Ari, right? Naomi searched her brain, trying hard to figure out when they'd been together between that first night and now, and then gasped. She vaguely remembered the night before her family left for Michigan. She'd been upset at having to leave. Even though the doctors had said it wasn't safe to do anything so soon after giving birth to Ari, she didn't care. She had wanted to be with him. And now, she was pregnant again.
Naomi threw the test away and bit her lip, taking a shuddery breath and going back into the room. She would have to tell Max tonight when they went out. The thought brought tears to her eyes and she touched her still flat stomach. If that was when she'd gotten pregnant, why wasn't she showing yet? She was so confused, she nearly screamed in frustation. She climbed back into bed, burying her face in Max's chest. She needed the comfort from him.

Still sleeping, Max rolled over on his stomach, reaching his arm over to wrap around Naomi. She wasn't there though, he opened one eye half way, just able to see that she was in the bathroom. Usual morning routine. She'll be back to cuddle with me. he told himself mentally as he rolled back from his stomach to his back again falling back to sleep again, his arm already out ready for Naomi to cuddle back into his warm body.
Sure enough, there she was too. He was already partly awake, but didn't need to open his eyes to see his girl curling back up to his chest again. He pulled her in closer, holding a grin on his face. "Good morning, beautiful." he finally responded, kissing the corner of her mouth, still with his eyes softly closed. "You ready for tonight?"

"Morning." Naomi responded quietly, not looking up at Max. At his next question, she gave a simple nod, though she really wasn't. She was terrified of what his answer would be, and the thought alone made her feel sick to her stomach. Or maybe it wasn't the thought. She rolled over with a gasp, her hand flying to her mouth. For the second time that morning, she scrambled out of bed and barely made it to the bathroom before she puked up whatever she didn't earlier. She leaned over the toilet again for a while, making sure nothing else had to come up before she quickly brushed her teeth and slowly made her way back to Max, avoiding all eye contact with him as she climbed back into bed. "Sorry." She said, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Max smiled deeper at the answer she gave him, even if it were a simple nod. That was all he needed from her. He was about to lean in for another kiss too, only he completely missed, for Naomi had rolled over off the bed and started puking into the toilet. By the time she got back, Max was leaning on his side, his eyebrows furrowed down in concern, wondering if maybe tonight wouldn't be the greatest night to pop the question to her. "You okay, Nai?" he asked her, wrapping an arm gently around her body, careful not to cause anymore puking. "We can go out another night if you're sick, I mean, its nothing so important that it can't wait another day or two." Although for him, he felt like he had to do it tonight. He was just so anxious to ask her, he would ask her right now if he wanted to. But decided it would be better with them out of the house somewhere, where no children or siblings could interrupt them.

"N-no!" Naomi grabbed onto his shirt, looking up at him with wide eyes. "I-I mean, I want to. I'll be fine. It's just a little--" She paused. She was about to say morning sickness, but she didn't want him to be too suspicious. "I'm fine." She said after a while, mustering up a smile and kissing him on the chin. "I promise. I want to go out with you tonight."

Max nearly flinched as she pulled on his shirt, just as wide-eyed as she was. "Okay, oh-okay." he told her, grabbing the hand that was stuck on his shirt, slowly removing it, and lacing it up in his own hand, kissing it after. "If you're sure." he said with a better, though a bit hesitant smile. "But first, I think we should get this day started with some breakfast. And perhaps, putting on more clothes would help too." he chuckled, noticing that they were both still half naked.

Naomi smiled, snuggling even closer to him. "Why? I think I like it like this." She smiled up at him, giggling a bit. She leaned up to kiss him softly, and then rolled off the bed. "But, if you insist." She grabbed the first shirt she saw, which happened to be his, and pulled it over her head, grinning at him after. "Your like, three times my size." She giggled.

Max gave a soft chuckle, nodding gratefully as she changed her mind, getting up to slip on his own shirt. He laughed at her face noticing the size between them. "Well that just proves you're tiny and I'm fat." he joked, finally sitting up on the edge of the bed, only to grab a pair of jeans he had worn the other day, that were rolled up on the floor. He decided to leave his chest shirtless though, for now anyway. He stood up on his feet then, wrapping his arm around Naomi's waist, poking at her side to tickle her some before leading her out the door and into the kitchen. "Why don't you figure out what you want to eat first, and I'll go get Ari. She should be waking up any minute now anyway." he suggested, kissing her forehead before starting off towards Arielle's room.

"You're not fat, I'm just painfully underweight." Naomi giggled softly, squealing when he poked her side and pouting a bit. "Max!" She made her way to the kitchen, sitting at the table with a yawn. She wondered if they had cereal, she'd be able to eat at least a small bowl of that.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say." Max teased back, walking into the baby's room finally. It was perfect timing too, Arielle was just rolling around in her crib, her fists banging against the bars. "Ohh, look who's up." he cooed to his daughter, leaning over to pick her up in his arms. Arielle giggled, her body still curled in a little ball, for it still wasn't quite awake yet. "Did you have a good sleep?" he asked the baby before he couldn't help but lift her up slightly, getting a whiff of a dirty diaper she most likely was wearing throughout the night. "Woo! I hope you were sleeping well, cause that present you left me sure does smell," he took another whiff only to whip his head away again. "like something else." he poked at her stomach, as she just giggled the whole time, grabbing his finger with both her hands as he set her down to quickly change her diaper before carrying her out to Naomi.
Once Max was done cleaning up Arielle, he carried her out, still with his finger caught in the baby's tight grip, out to the kitchen where Naomi sat waiting for them. "Look who's up?" he sang out to Naomi, looking back down at the red headed child in his arms, who was now sucking on his finger with that hunger face going on. "Looks like she's just as hungry as I am, too." he chuckled, looking back up at Naomi with the same smile he had before. "Have you decided what you wanted for breakfast yet?" he asked, giving her a quick peck on the forehead before heading to the refrigerator to grab a bottle for Arielle before she got too fussy.

"Morning sunshine~" Naomi smiled at her daughter. "Looks like it." She giggled softly, shaking head. "Better your finger than mine." She teased. At Max's question, she gave a small shrug and said, "Do you have any cereal? If I wanna eat dinner tonight, I think I should have something light for breakfast."

Max chuckled, "For you it is." he smiled, opening the door to grab Arielle's bottle. As soon as he held it in his hand then, Arielle immediately dropped her daddy's finger, reaching out and whining and fussing in Max's arms just to get her bottle. "Ah~hang on, baby girl. I gotta check the temperature first." he tried telling the baby, but she just continued whining and fidgeting for her breakfast. After checking it on his wrist, with just a bit of trouble, Max held the bottle up to the baby's mouth, watching her suck the milk down, reaching her hands up to the bottle attempting to hold it herself, but wasn't able to just yet. He looked back up to Naomi then when she answered his question. "We sure do." he grinned, holding Arielle out to Naomi then. "You wanna feed her while I get your breakfast?" he asked, practically urging her.

"Sure~" Naomi smiled, taking Ari from Max and getting her settled in her arms before Ari continued to drink from her bottle. "What type of cereal do you have?" Not that it mattered, she'd eat pretty much anything right now.

Max walked back to the cupboard to fulfill Naomi's request in making her cereal. "Let's see. We don't have much, but we do have honey nut cherrios, and frosted flakes. Or unless you wanna feel like a kid again, you can have some of Brooklyn's cocoa puffs." he chuckled, holding up a brown box of children's cereal.

"Frosted flakes are good." Naomi said, taking the bottle from Arielle once she heard air coming from it. Ari began to whine when she felt the bottle plucked from her, and Naomi lifted her onto her shoulder, patting her back until she heard a burp. Giggling softly, she settled Ari back into her arms and let her play with the hand she was reaching for.
