Lia nearly collapsed onto the ground once they reached shore, she hadn't realized how badly her legs - pretty much her whole body - was shaking until they got out of the water. She took a deep breath, sinking onto the ground before looking up at Noah. At his question she gave a small nod, lowering her gaze again. "Yeah, I s-suppose." She was stuttering from the water anymore, but because a breeze blew past and gave her the chills. "W-when did you plan on going on this date?"

Noah was about to sit next to her in the sand when he saw she looked cold, he opted to jog up the beach to get her a towel. He just gave her a smile, "I'll be right back." He said. Once he had made it back up, he reached into the cooler and pulled out a juice box for Sophia, and handed it to her with a small smile and placed a kiss on the top of her head. He made his way back to Azalia, sitting next to her. Noah wrapped the towel around her with a smile. "I was thinking tonight, maybe?" He said. "I can take Soph to my moms for the night."

Lia nodded and watched as he walked away, turning back to look out the water, pulling her knees up to her chest. She was angry at the way she reacted to being in the water. True, she had a deathly fear of water, especially after her parents had pretty much left her to drown at a trip to the beach when she was younger, but she'd thought she had gotten rid of that fear. True she hadn't been around large quantities of water since then, but she had been in therapy for a while. Azalia let out a frustrated sigh, tears filling her eyes. She had just lowered her head onto her legs when Noah returned, startling her when he placed the towel across her shoulders. "Thanks." She murmured, pulling the towel tighter across herself. "T-tonight?" She looked up at him. "Do I get to go home and change first?"

Noah gave her a small smirk, he wasn't going to lie, he was pretty excited. He was also nervous though, because it was now up to him to think something up by tonight. Hopefully it wouldn't completely fall through. He took a glance at her and felt bad, she still looked a little shaken up. He knew that it wasn't completely his fault, but he knew that it was now up to him to help her overcome her fear of water, whether she liked it or not. "Yes, tonight." Noah replied, pushing his worrisome thoughts to the back of his mind for the moment. "It's okay with you, right? Not too soon?" He didn't want to pressure her into anything she didn't want to do. "And yes, you're welcome to go home and change to do all that primping girls seem to think they need to do." He joked with her lightheartedly, giving her a smile. "We can leave soon if you want." He thought she might want some down time after the water episode, and he figured he would need time to get Sophia to his mom's house and set things up.

"No, it's not too soon." Lia made a face at his next comment, scrunching up her nose. "Primping?" She laughed, pulling the towel closer to her still shivering body. "I don't primp. I wouldn't know how." She looked up at him, biting her lip. "Can we leave now? I-If you don't mind." She really wanted to get home so she could settle down a bit and try and make sense of what just happened, and so she wouldn't end up having a panic attack later on.

Noah chuckled softly and shook his head. He had never met a girl who didn't primp, even Beth who was as different as a person can get, primped. It wasn't really important to him anyway, he knew he would think she was beautiful either way. "Of course I don't mind." He said softly, looking down at the sand for a moment. He knew he would be seeing her later, but he was still going to miss her. He put a smile on his face and pushed himself off the sandy beach. Noah held out his hand for her, "You wouldn't want to have to rush that primping of yours," He teased her before laughing and giving her a wink.

Lia took his hand, standing with a small smile. "Thanks." She laughed at his next statement, shaking her head. "Maybe I'll get one of my sister's to help. I'm sure they'd be more than happy." She blushed lightly when he winked at her, feeling her heart flip in her chest.

Noah walked up with her until they reached their spot, and pulled his car keys out of the pocket of his swim trunks. He held them out to Azalia, "Can you get Soph into the car, please?" He asked, dropping the keys into her hand with a smirk. He hoped Sophia wouldn't give her too much trouble, sometimes she hated leaving and had no qualms about making that fact known to everyone within hearing distance. He then turned to start gathering up the rest of their belongings, making sure he picked up all of his daughters toys that were scattered around on the sandy ground. Noah brought everything up to the parking lot, pausing to throw on a t-shirt and his baseball cap.

"Wha--- me?" Lia looked up at Noah in shock when he dropped the keys into her hand, biting her lip. "I-I'll try." She didn't have good experiences with children, but she would try her best since it was Noah's daughter, and she really did like Noah. Turning, Lia walked down the beach to where Sophia was making sandcastles. "Sophia?" Lia called softly, almost immediately frowning at how scared she sounded. I shouldn't be afraid of a baby! she thought to herself. "It's time to go now." Sophia looked up at Lia, only to turn back to her sandcastle. "I don wanna leave." Azalia sighed, running a hand through her hair. She really didn't want to come off as mean, but she didn't want to seem soft either. "But it's time to go. We can't stay here forever." Sophia stubbornly shook her head. "No." Lia tried hard to think of something to say that wouldn't cause the little girl to cry, but her mind was drawing a blank.

Noah couldn't help but let out at a laugh at the situation Azalia was placed in at the moment. His daughter could be quite stubborn and hard to deal with when it came to things she did not want to do, but you just had to distract her and take her mind off of whatever was making her difficult. Noah jogged down the small hill to find a very frazzled Azalia, who looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Sophia looked up at her father with a glare. "I's don wanna go home, Daddy." She said, the glare turning into unshed tears in an instant. "Sophia," He said firmly, "It's time to go." The little girl let out a dramatic sigh when she was picked up off the ground but she soon began to giggle when Noah started tickling her. She squirmed in his arms and let out a loud shriek. "Daddddyy! Stop it! I hava go pee!" Sophia yelled. With that, Noah placed Sophia into her car seat and buckled her in. After she was securely in place, he turned to Azalia with a shrug.

Azalia let out a tiny sigh of relief when Noah came over to grab Sophia, but she couldn't help but feel bothered by the situation. It upset her that she couldn't even get a child into the car. Definitely never having kids. Lia had made up in her mind a long time ago that she didn't want kids, mainly because she felt she wouldn't be able to handle motherhood considering her condition, but this just confirmed it for her. She looked up at Noah when he shrugged, before handing him the car keys and going to buckle herself into the passenger side with another sigh.

Noah hopped into the car, idea's about their date already forming in his head. He wanted to impress her, but he didn't want to seem over the top either. If he were to go for something simple, he would seem careless. It seemed that he couldn't catch a break when it came to this, even though he was pretty sure Azalia would enjoy anything he decided on. These thoughts are when kept him silent as he drove all the way back to Lia's home on Ashlawn Terrace. Before he knew it, he was pulling over next to the sidewalk in front of her yard. He turned to her with a small smile. "So, I'll pick you up at eight?" He asked.

Azalia didn't really notice Noah's quietness, as she was too engrossed in her own thoughts. She was nervous, even if she would never admit it to anyone. Lia had never been on a date before, and had no idea what she was supposed to do, or wear or what to expect or anything. On top of all of that, she was still trying to figure out why someone like Noah would want to go on a date with someone like her. His voice broke her out of her thoughts, and she shook her head before she sent herself into another panic attack. Lia nodded, unbuckling herself. "Yeah, 8 sounds good." She smiled a bit, placing her hand on the handle. "I had fun..." She trailed off, not mentioning the whole freak out. Not sure what to do, Lia just bit her lip and opened the door. "Uh, see you tonight." With that she climbed out the car and nearly ran to her front porch, turning back to wave before going into her house. Pulling her phone out of her pocket, she checked the time. Noah was coming back at 8, which only gave her a couple hours to get ready. "Hey Lia, what's up? How was the beach?" Azalia's sister Ichigo asked, coming down the stairs. Lia snapped her phone shut, a frown on her face. "It was fine." Ichi frowned as well, tilting her head to the side. "What's wrong?" Lia shrugged, looking away. "I have a date." "A date?!" Ichi gasped, flying the rest of the way down the stairs. "At what time?" "Eight." Lia gasped when Ichigo suddenly grabbed her arm and began pulling her up the stairs. "Eight?! That's only in a couple hours! We don't have much time!" Azalia didn't understand why it wasn't enough time to get ready, she thought it was plenty of time. How wrong she was. About an hour later, Ichigo and Azalia were still going through Lia's closet for something to wear. Lia would've just put on the first thing she saw, but Ichigo wasn't having any of that. "You wear plaid every day! This is a date, you have to look special!" Was Ichigo's argument. Azalia sighed, falling backwards onto her bed. "I don't see why it matters. I don't even know where I'm going." Ichigo ignored her, gasping instead. "Found something! I didn't even know you had this!" A few minutes later, Lia was finally dressed. "What are you doing with your hair?" Ichigo asked. When Azalia shrugged, Ichigo sighed and grabbed her hand, dragging her into the bathroom. Finally, after hair and make-up was done, it was almost 8 o'clock and Lia was exhausted. "I'm never going on a date again." She grumbled, touching the curls Ichigo had insisted on doing. "You haven't even left yet." Ichigo laughed. "You look great, by the way." Lia rolled her eyes in response and sat on the living room couch, waiting for Noah's arrival.

Noah chuckled as Azalia ran up to her door, he could already tell she was nervous about tonight. He drove away, his thoughts still swarming in his head. He had a lot to if he wanted to be ready in time to pick her back up at eight. He picked up his phone from the console once he was down the street and placed a call to his mom, making sure she was up to watching Sophia for the evening. Once he got a hold of her, he stopped at her house to drop off his daughter. His sister met him outside, a teasing smile on her face. "Noah's got a daaaa-ate!" Emma chanted, leaning in the open window of his car. Noah shook his head and told her to move out of the way. "I need to hurry. I'm picking her up at eight." He said, letting Sophia out of the car and grabbing her hand. A very tired little girl following him into his mother's house. He gave his mom a kiss on the cheek and said goodbye to Sophia before nearly running out of the house. He had a lot to do, that he knew. So, when got home and pulled out his car out of from under the sheet in his garage he smiled excitedly. He loved this car, he built it with his dad. Well, as much building that could be done at twelve and under. Noah ran his hand along the glossy paint and sighed. He never got to drive his car anymore, now that he had Sophia. Noah made quick work of getting everything he needed ready to go and packed into the trunk of the car. He was thankful Molly kept just about everything around the house. He hopped in the shower and cleaned himself as fast as humanly possible. He threw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and hoodie and made his way out to his car, managing to avoid any nosy family members along the way. That was how he found himself in a clearing in the forest, on a plot of land his family owned. He had trekked a long the small woodland path and began to set everything up. He spread out a blanket on the plush grass-filled forest floor, and began to light the many white candles and scatter them around the clearing. He left the picnic basket on the blanket, and when he deemed the clearing ready, he hurriedly walked back to his car. Noah had driven back to Azalia's home, enjoying the low rumble of the car engine. He stopped in front of her house for the third time that day, and walked up the driveway and to the front door. He knocked twice before stepping back a little, dropping his hand to his side. The nerves were finally getting to him as he waiting for someone to answer the door.

If Azalia had never felt nervous for anything in her life, now she certainly did. The sudden knock on the door caused her to gasp and jump in her seat, her hand flying to her now speeding heart. "Lia, calm down." Ichigo giggled. "It's just the door. Go answer it." Azalia nodded and stood, walking over to the door. When she pulled it open, she gave a soft sigh in hopes of calming her nerves. "Hey." She said, biting her lip and resisting the urge to wipe her palms on her pants.
