Naomi shifted slightly, blinked slowly as she woke. She yawned, rubbing her eyes as she sat up, streching. Looking up at Max and Ari, she blinked a little, and then smiled as she remember where she was. "I guess Ari woke up before me?" She ran a hand through her hair, brushing a few strands out of her face. It had grown a lot longer in the past four months, she hadn't bothered to cut it. Now it hung a little past her waist and was very curly. She yawned, still a little tired but not as bad as before. She reached out to tickle her daughters belly gently. "Hey sweetie, did you have a nice nap?"

Max grinned back at her as she slowly opened her eyes waking up. "Yeah, she beat you to it by about a minute." he chuckled, holding Arielle out just a bit to let Naomi in on her daughter some more. As she tickled the baby, Arielle let out one of her cute gurgles of laughter, kicking her feet freely before curling her entire body back up into a ball in Max's arms, her smile still showing as she stuck her thumb in her mouth. "I'd say she had a pretty good nap, wouldn't you?" Max chuckled, "How about you? Did you have a nice nap, too?"

Naomi smiled at her daughter, thinking she was the most adorable baby she'd ever seen. "I have a nice nap. Could've been longer but I'll manage." Naomi reached up to take Ari's hand out of her mouth, preferring the tight grip on her finger. "She's so adorable." Naomi said softly, a light blush crossing her cheeks as her stomach growled. "It seems as if every time something big happens, I forget to eat." She murmured, remembering the day she'd told Max about the prgnancy coming out positive.

With her hand no longer in her mouth, Arielle started whining a little, attempting to pull her hand back, but gave up soon enough and went back to squeezing her mother's finger with her strong baby grip. "Well, we'll have to work on your food schedule then, huh?" Max chuckled, not taking his eyes off of his adorable daughter, who was now pulling Naomi's finger back into her mouth yet again. "I think I should get Arielle's binky from her room too, before your finger gets too slobbery that is." he chuckled, lightly pulling Naomi's hand out of Arielle's mouth, but as soon as he did, Arielle started whining again, pulling her mother's hand to her mouth again.

Naomi held out her arms, asking to hold her baby. "Maybe. I don't really have a food schedule. I guess I need one, huh?" She wouldn't tell him that she'd barely ate since hearing about MABTown. She'd grown a lot smaller since she'd last seen Max. The baggy clothes hide her figure very well, and she wasn't quite sure she wanted Max to see how small she'd gotten. He'd only just worry. "I'll hold her while you go find her binky. I don't mind my finger getting wet for a few minutes."

Max held out Arielle, handing her back over to Naomi. "We'll start on that tonight then. The three of us out to dinner. My treat." he said with a grin, as he started his way up the stairs in search for Arielle's binky.
Not even two minutes of being up there, Max was already jogging back down the hallway with the missing binky at hand. Seeing as Arielle was in the same position suckling on her poor mother's finger, he finally released Naomi's hand from Arielle's grip and handed her her binky instead. She whined at first, but as soon as that binky slipped in her mouth, she was happily suckling again, playing with her mommy's hand again, gripping at it with her own tiny hands.

"Wait..." Naomi bit her lip, standing when Max came back to the living room. She held Arielle against her shoulder as she nervously ran her hand through her hair, which kept getting in her face. "You mean go out now? I look like crap." She shifted her weight to one hip, settling Ari on it.

Max leaned in to Naomi, kissing her forehead lightly, "You look beautiful." he smiled, stroking Arielle's head once more before turning his attention back to his girlfriend. "But I think I have some of your extra clothes from the last time we spent the night together." he reassured her, leading her back down the hall into his room which just so happened to be connected to Arielle's room as well. He looked in his closet, pulling out an outfit of Naomi's at which she had left back at the old MABhouse. As you could tell, he had kept all of her stuff safe from the horrific hurricane.

Handing Arielle to Max, she took the clothes from him and went into the bathroom to change. After a minutes, she came out in the clothes, frowning at how much bigger they were on her. It probably would have been better if she had kept her sweats on. Oh well, it's too late now. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail, sighing when a few strands fell back into her face. She smiled timidly up at Max, tugging on her hair. "So...where are we going?"

Max took Arielle back from Naomi as she went in the bathroom to change quickly. She came back out within a couple of minutes, and with Arielle on his hip, Max gave Naomi a quick side hug with a kiss on the cheek. "You ready, beautiful?" he asked, grabbing hold of her hand as he led her out of the room and towards the living room again to grab his wallet, phone and keys before leaving just yet. "Well, since we have a baby, and we can't stand leaving her alone anywhere, I thought we just head over to the diner down a couple blocks from here."

"Alright." Naomi said, glad he hadn't brought up her weight loss. Even if he did, she could always tell him it was her loss of baby fat that had made her so much smaller, even though the clothes she was wearing were from before she'd gotten pregnant. He probably hadn't even noticed, which was fine by her. She wouldn't know how to explain it too him. "Is the food here any good?"

Max got his things together, with Arielle still happily on his hip curled up to him, Max was all ready to head out the door. He turned back to Naomi then, before opening the front door to leave. There was something different about her appearance. He could of swore her clothes fit her more snug from the last time she wore them. Maybe it was him, but he didn't want to say anything, especially when she already felt bad for leaving him and her daughter behind for all these months.
Leaving just a grin behind, he opened the door, leading Naomi out and to his car, getting Arielle all settled and buckled up in her car seat before getting in his own seat. "Well, they have the simple burgers and fries, and milkshakes too." he explained, as he finished buckling Arielle in, handing her her stuffed giraffe keeping her binky in her mouth. He got settled in the drivers seat before adding in another thing to his girlfriend, "I'm sure that'll be a good start for you to eat more. Not to mention the food there is real good too."

Naomi got buckled into the car, looking back to see Ari cuddling her giraffe. "Sounds good." She said when he told her the food choices. Naomi wasn't all that sure of how much she would eat though. She hadn't eaten since dinner two days ago and though she was starving, it seemed like the moment she put something in her mouth she wasn't hungry anymore. She hoped that wouldn't happen today. "I haven't had a milk shake for a while. Chocolate sounds really good right now. I haven't had chocolate in a while either." Naomi giggled a bit. "I sound like I did while I was pregnant with Arielle. Always craving chocolate. Especially ice cream."

Max started the car, beginning to back out of the driveway ever so carefully for Arielle's sake. "Oh, I remember that craving. I was the one alway running to the store and back getting you the exact type of ice cream you asked for." he laughed, thinking of all the memories of when she was pregnant. "If it wasn't the kind you wanted, you'd send me back to the store. Crazy stuff, right?" he chuckled some more, turning out of the neighborhood streets and off towards the diner. "I'm sure you'd like it there though. I heard their known for their shakes. Especially chocolate." he told her, glancing in the rear view mirror checking up on the baby every once in a while.

Naomi smiled. "Yeah, I remember. I turned into the crazy pregnant lady I was always afraid of being." She let out a soft sigh. "You were the best though. You never complained once. Unless, you did it when I wasn't around." She giggled. Naomi heard a gurgle coming from the back seat and twisted to see that Arielle had managed to take her binky out of her mouth and was currently trying to eat her toy. "Ari." Naomi giggled, reaching back to stroke her daughters cheek. "That is not for eating."
