Max led his girls on into the ice cream shop, where David and his bouncy little girl stood by the counter in line. Max just jumped right in the middle of them then, chuckling at Brooklyn's hyperness. "So you figure out what flavor you want yet, Brooky?" he asked, placing his hand on her shoulder rather than ruffling up her hair like he normally did. Brooklyn looked up to him with her cousin cuddled up in his one arm, chewing on her toy happily. She nodded with a wide grin kept on her face. "I gonna get stwawbewwy ice cweam, wit' two scoops!" Max chuckled. "That sounds good. You sure you're gonna eat all that?" "Yesss!!!!" she exclaimed with a giggly attitude. After giggling himself, he turned to Naomi while David was ordering his and Brooklyn's treat. "And what can I get you, love?" he asked Naomi.

Naomi stood off to the side while Max talked to his niece, looking at the menu to see what type of ice cream she wanted. She debating between mint chocolate chip and chocolate chip cookie dough when Max asked what she wanted. "Uh." Naomi looked at the menu, biting her lip. "I guess mint chocolate chip."

Max chuckled lightly at Naomi's slightly hesitant answer. "You guess?" he teased, bouncing Arielle in his arms seeing as she was getting fidgety again. "Alright, Nai. Mint chocolate chip it is." he smiled, turning back to the cashier while David was with his own excited daughter, picking out her toppings. Bobbing Arielle in his arms, Max quickly ordered Naomi her mint chocolate chip ice cream as well as his own order of Neapolitan flavor ice cream. He paid for both of the treats, with the baby balanced on his hip, and walked back to Naomi. "Did you want any toppings to go with your ice cream?" he asked, adjusting Arielle in his arms as he slipped his wallet back in his back pocket.

Naomi shook her head. "No, plain is fine." She reached out to poke Arielle in the stomach gently, smiling when Ari gurgled softly. "Uh, should we find a table to sit at?" She asked, wrapping an arm around her waist and glancing around the place. "Or, you can go find somewhere to sit and I can wait here for the ice cream?" She wanted to feel like she was helping out, as opposed to feeling like she was just there, like she did now.

Max nodded, adjusting Arielle just as she was tickled by Naomi again, causing Max to laugh as well. "Oh, yeah. Um, you can go ahead and pick us out a seat if you'd like." he suggested, holding Arielle out slightly offering Naomi a turn with the baby. "I'm sure Ari wouldn't mind some alone time with her mom anyway." he grinned, watching Arielle's arms suddenly stretch out towards Naomi, kicking and squirming out of Max's arms.

"Come here my sweet baby." Naomi said, taking Ari from her daddy and nestling her in her arms, kissing her forehead gently. She smiled when Ari reached out to touch her cheek and took the tiny hand in her own, kissing it softly. Naomi looked up at Max and nodded. "I will do my best to pick a good seat." She teased lightly, trying to lighten the mood for herself. Turning, she scanned the place for a seat, and finally picked out a booth by a window, scooting over as far as she could. She placed Arielle on the table and held her hands, leaning forward to blow on the baby's stomach, causing her to squeal in delight.

Max chuckled lightly at the way Naomi was handling the baby. Sometimes he thought that she was a better parent than he ever was. But that's just him. His mind is almost always filled with negative thoughts whenever he was parenting around Naomi. He did try his best, and only hoped he was turning out to be as good of a father as his own. Max turned around then, and waited for the ice cream's to be served with David and Brooklyn. Once Brooklyn's was ready, the little girl immediately sprinted over to the counter grabbing her cone carefully and pacing back to the booth Naomi was sitting at, licking her ice cream while she crawled into the seat across from Naomi and her cousin. "Mmm! T'is is good!" she squealed, taking another lick just as the boys head back towards the ladies as well, Max handing Naomi her cone before licking the dripping points of his own. "What you get??" Brooklyn asked Naomi in wonder, leaning half her body over the table top trying to see what flavor Naomi was having.

Naomi played with Arielle as she waited patiently for the others to come over. When they did finally get their ice cream, Naomi pulled Ari off the table and sat her in her lap, accepting the ice cream from Max with a thank you. At Brooklyn's question she said, "Me? I got mint chocolate chip. What did you get?" She smiled and moved her ice cream closer so the younger girl could see better.

Brooklyn glanced a closer look at Naomi's ice cream, wrinkling her nose as she stuck her tongue out at it. "Ewwww..its gween!" she squeaked, plopping back down in her seat next to her daddy, who simply just shook his head and chuckled softly at his daughter's silly behavior. "I gots stwabewwy. It taste much better. Plus its pink!" she held up her ice cream cone, which had already started dripping down on her hand slowly. She started licking her hand then, followed by her ice cream next. Max did the same as his brother, shaking his head and laughing at his niece. "But Brooky, Naomi's has chocolate chips in it." Max tried telling her, but Brooklyn just stuck her tongue out at them again, returning to the licking of her sweet treat. Max couldn't help but notice next, as he glanced over at Arielle sitting in Naomi's lap, that she started fidgeting a bit, whining and reaching her hands up towards her mommy's ice cream, then her daddy's. It only made Max giggle slightly before, he took a small bit of his ice cream onto his finger, holding it up to Arielle to slowly suck off. "That taste good, Ari?" he smiled.

Naomi didn't care for strawberry, much less the color pink, but gave a small smile anyway. "To each his own." Naomi offered, not quite sure if the young girl knew what she meant. She noticed Ari reaching for her ice cream, and before she could react, Max gave the baby a little of his. "Max." Naomi giggled softly. "She'll be up all night." Naomi knew she was exaggerating just a bit. She giggled again when Arielle made a face at the cold ice cream, but still held her arms out for more. "I think she likes it."

Brooklyn stared at Naomi blankly for a moment, with her mouth slightly open and ice cream slowly beginning to drip out. She wasn't exactly sure what Naomi meant when she said that, but she just shook her head anyway, slurping on the ice cream slipping down her chin and continued eating down her own ice cream, David glancing at her every once in a while with a stern look telling her to slow down a bit, and even wiping up her face with a napkin once or twice. Max however, kept his chuckles inside, letting Arielle finish off the sweet treat on his finger tip while she made faces at the odd temperature she was not at all used to. He did notice she held her arms out for more, managing to scoop up a handful in her tiny hand, whimpering at first at the coldness, then started to suck on her own hand, warming her hand up again. Although she was still fidgeting and whimpering a little bit from the cold. "Well I'd say she'll definitely be up all night if she keeps downing my ice cream." Max couldn't help but joke about, stroking Arielle's head with his free hand. "She'll be shivering all night, poor thing."

"The way she's at it, you wont have any ice cream for yourself." Naomi giggled, moving Arielle away a bit. She licked her own ice cream and smiled when Ari reached for her ice cream. "No more ice cream for you baby girl. You've had more than enough."

"Nahh...I won't let her steal the rest of my ice cream." Max chuckled, moving his cone away from the baby as she reached over to Naomi's next, failing to get some of hers. Arielle started to whine and pout, kicking her legs little by little trying to get what she wanted, though it was likely that she wasn't going to get what she wanted at this point. Max licked his ice cream again, chuckling at his daughter's behavior. "Aw, Ari, come on now," he stroked his hand over her head, "tell you what, when we get home, I'll give you your own bowl of ice cream you can mush your face into." he said in almost a whisper to his baby girl, half-teasingly. Although, after a moment of Arielle staring at her father, she soon started kicking her legs happily, wiggling around in Naomi's arms all excited as if she knew exactly what Max was telling her.

"Ari." Naomi said when the baby began throwing a fit. She continued to eat her own ice cream while her daughter whined over not having any. Of course, it didn't help that Max promised her, her own bowl when they got him. "That'll help her sleep for sure." Naomi teased, smiling when Ari calmed down at that, as if she knew what he was saying. "Do you understand Daddy Ari?" She cooed, kissing the baby'd forehead.

Max chuckled. "What? I just want my baby girl to be happy." he almost whined himself, poking Arielle's stomach, tickling her only allowing her to wiggle and giggle more in Naomi's arms. "And of course she understands me. Don't you, Ari?" he cooed back to the baby as well, with David happily watching his brother enjoy his time with his own family. Brooklyn however, nearly finished with her ice cream already, was starting to feel a bit left out. Jealous, David would say. She she leaned back onto the table towards Naomi and her baby cousin to get in on all the action. "You can have my ice cweam if you want Awielle." she perked up, holding out the last bit of her ice cream melting at the bottom of her cone. Max only chuckled as he took a look at what was left. "Brook, there's hardly anything left in there." he teased, "Besides, Arielle doesn't need anymore ice cream. At least not right now she doesn't." he winked, "Wait till we get home, okay?" he said in almost a whisper to Brooklyn who just giggled and nodded, taking a small bite of her cone, finishing up her treat.
