"Oh. Alright." Naomi said distractedly. Arielle was busy trying to stick Naomi's finger in her mouth. "Ari, what's with you and my finger? Daddy tried to give you your binky and you didn't want that, remember?" She giggled softly when all Ari did was gurgle, her mouth curling in a toothless grin. "You are too adorable." Naomi said. "I wish my phone had a camara on it. I need to upgrade." She laughed.

Max watched as Arielle decided to use Naomi's finger as her binky once again, and laughed. "Maybe your finger tastes better. You do taste good, you know." he teased, leaning down to kiss her hand while Arielle was busily still suckling on Naomi's finger. He chuckled at the baby's reaction with the toothless grin, laughing himself until remembering he had a camera all along. "Oh, I got one." he perked in, digging through his jeans pocket for his iPhone4. "Luckily I just updated. Take as many pictures as you want. Just....don't scroll through any of the older pictures..." he chuckled at the last part remembering the last picture he took of both Naomi and Arielle curled up on the couch together sleeping.

Naomi smiled and blushed a bit. "Do I really? I haven't noticed." Naomi took the phone and held it up in order to take a picture, making sure to include Max in as well. "Why not? Got embarrassing photos in here?" She teased, snapping a picture. Of course, her stomach chose now to growl again. "How big of a meal did you order?"

Max chuckled, lifting the baby up in order to get a better picture of the both of them even if he was smiling and Arielle was busy reaching the table for something with a blank stare. "Nothing embarrassing of me, if that's what your asking." he said through his teeth as he smiled for the picture before relaxing once again, bouncing the baby on his lap. "Oh, I ordered what you told me to order, babe." he lied, telling her in the most straight-forward face possible. "You said you wanted fries and a shake, right?"

"Of you? Then there are some embarrassing pictures here?" She was half tempted to go through his pictures anyway. "How long does it take to make a small fry and a shake?" Not that it mattered. The moment she put anything in her mouth, she was likely to not finish that either. She gave a soft sigh. Naomi looked up when she heard Ari gurgle, smiling at her. She smiled as well, using Max's phone to take another picture.

"There are. Just none of me." he said with a small wink, bouncing Arielle once again holding her upright so it looked like she was standing on his legs. "Oh, I'm sure it won't take too much longer...remember, I ordered a big meal for myself." he reminded her, starting to feel a little regret for what he had done. Maybe he shouldn't be forcing food down her throat. Its like, if she doesn't want to eat, then don't make her eat. He thought he was being a good boyfriend, and he was. Another thought came to his mind saying that it was a good idea to do. Naomi really did look like she was losing weight rather than maintaining her already tiny figure. I guess I should of asked about it first. he thought to himself, not realizing the next picture she decided to take of him and the baby. "Heyy...we weren't ready for that one.." he said, in more of a whiny voice, though he was teasing with her some more. Just as he said that then, the food arrived. The waitress set his meal down in front of him, and then Naomi's surprise meal in front of her. Max bit his lip of anxiety wondering what sort of reaction she was going to have now.

Naomi giggled softly, handing his phone back to him. "I thought you needed some embarrassing pictures of you." When the waitress placed there food down, the first thought Naomi had was that this wasn't what she had ordered, and then she thought that she wouldn't be able to finish this. She glanced up at Max, noticed his facial expression and said softly, "You noticed my weight loss?" She surpressed a sigh. She should've known she wouldn't have been able to hide it from him, especially when all she ordered was a small fry and a shake. That probably gave her away.

Max chuckled softly with her, slipping his phone back in his pocket before Arielle could take a grab at it. Seeing the look on Naomi's face when she first eyed the food was a little hard for Max. He knew he had to tell her somehow someway, but this way? He wasn't sure if it was the right way to tell her. He nodded slowly, waiting for the waitress to leave before carrying on this conversation. "I was worried. I noticed you were slimmer than usual, and I knew this couldn't be right." he paused for a quick moment, "All I want is for you to be in good health, Nai. That includes getting enough food in your system." he finished telling her, sticking the binky in Arielle's mouth as she was stretching her arms out for it.

"I know." Naomi bit her lip. "I didn't mean to worry you. I just haven't had much of an appetite lately. I mean, I get hungry but it seems like the second I put food in my mouth, I can't finish it. And if I force myself to eat I end up feeling sick afterwards." She did let out a sigh then. "I don't know whats wrong with me." She frowned. "Its why I only ordered a small fry. I probably wouldn't even be able to finish that." Tears filled her eyes then, which she quickly brushed away. "I'm sorry." She said quickly, ducking her head so her bangs hid her face. "I didn't mean to get all teary eyed on you. I think...well, what the doctor told me was that I was depressed and thats why I couldn't eat much. But, now that I'm back with you guys, I should be back to normal...soon."

Max nodded, listening to her reasons for not eating. Surprisingly, he took it a lot better than he thought he would himself. His girlfriend has practically been living an anorexic without him, and he's okay with it! Now that takes a lot of something to really care that deeply for someone and still love them no matter what they did. "Alright. I understand." Max responded simply with a grin holding on his face, a grin that clearly meant what he was telling her. "Well, how about you just eat what you can in front of you, and we'll go from there. And if you can't eat hardly any of it just yet, that's fine. We'll wrap it up and take it back to the apartment for leftovers. No big." he told her rather calmly and smoothly, looking down to find Arielle finally asleep again, carefully lifting her back into the high chair without waking her so he could get to his own food. "You're...okay though, right?"

Naomi nodded, taking a fry from the basket. "I'm sorry." She said again. "I didn't want to hide it from you but...I didn't want you to worry." She bit into the fry, chewing it slowly, almost like testing it before swallowing. She supposed she should probably eat her burger first, or else she definitely wouldn't have room for anything else. She picked up a knife and fork and began cutting the burger up into smaller pieces. "I learned that if it doesn't look like a lot of food, I can eat more of it." She commented as she finished cutting up her burger. Once satisfied, she picked up a piece and began to nibble on it. "It looks wierd doesn't it? Cutting up a burger like this?"

Max grinned lightly, watching as Naomi started with a couple fries before starting on her burger, cutting it first. "Whatever works for you, Nai." he smiled, taking a little bigger bite of his own burger, being the guy he was, there was no such thing as utensils when it came down to greasy hamburgers and fries. He looked back up to his girlfriend, finally taking a small nibble of her nibble as if it was a taste test for poison. He chuckled, finally adding in, "It's not too weird. But if it were say, a guy like me cutting a burger like that, then it would be weird." he laughed, teasing mostly at himself hoping that would cheer her up a bit. Even though on the inside, he was still very concerned for his girlfriend. What if her eating habits continue? Maybe she already has an eating disorder I don't know about. What would I do then? His head was just about to explode with all these concerns bursting in, but tried so hard not to show it on his face so he just inhaled another bite of his burger and fries, slurping at his chocolate shake next.

Naomi tried to muster up a smile, but she still felt horrible. It's not like she wanted to have a eating disorder, which is whatthe doctor had told her it was. She didn't want to believe she was sick but, with the way she had been progressively losing her appitite, it was getting harder and harder to ignore. Finally finishing her piece of burger, she took a small sip of her shake before staring on another piece. She kept her eyes glued onto her plate, refusing to look up at Max. She wouldn't be able to bear it if she saw worry or concern, things she had been trying to prevent.

With his eyes still full of concern, Max took another bite of his burger getting him half way done with it, before grabbing a few fries to munch on as well as sipping his shake, not taking his eyes off of Naomi. He let out a small smile, nodding his head in praise that she finished one corner of the burger. Considering that corner was pretty damn big. "You can take a break from the burger and eat some fries now." he tried helping, without getting her too over stuffed. He wanted her to overcome the eating disorder, not make her overeat so she was overweight. "Remember, I'm not trying to force you to finish the burger. It is pretty big, and we can always take it home with us."

Naomi nodded a bit, placing the piece of the burger down that she had been eating and eating a few fries. Naomi bit her lip after a while and glanced up at Max. "I'm actually eating a lot more than I usually do." She admitted with a short laugh. She took another sip of her milkshake. "I think that if I eat smaller portions I'll be okay." She began to finish the piece of burger she had started working on.
