Brooklyn was in the middle of yanking Ryder onto the dance floor when his stuttering made her stop what she was doing, just to look at him with curiosity. "What d'you mean you can't?" she wondered more than asked. "Of course you can!" she went back to her cheerful self, grabbing his other hand and began swinging their arms around, trying to get him in the same mood for dancing. "It's fun! See?" she tried persuading.

Ryder was reluctant at first, but he eventually warmed up to the idea and began swinging his arms around along with Brooklyn until he was just bouncing around like all the other kids, not really dancing but still having fun. Ari was still jumping and giggling along with everyone, until she spotted her parents sitting off to the side. She ran over to them, (as well as a baby can run anyway) and held her arms up to be picked up. "Dada! Dance?"

Brooklyn giggled louder, glad to see she finally got Ryder to dance with her 'properly'. "See? I told you it fun!!" she squealed, spinning around in a couple circles while on her tiptoes. Max was watching the rest of the crowd as well as the kids and Brooklyn continue dancing ecstatically, enjoying just as much from the sidelines. Then Arielle trotted over to them in a squeal. He chuckled lightly, kissing Naomi on the head before carefully moving her to the chair next to them. "You want me to dance with you?" he asked her in return, moving his hands to his face in a surprised look which made Arielle giggle and squirm even more. "Oh, alright." he fake pouted, laughing as he got up from his seat, making a gesture to Naomi saying he would be right back. He picked up Arielle and swarmed onto the dance floor, swinging and bouncing her in his arms having a great time yet again.

Naomi smiled as Max interacted with Arielle, glad that they were officially a family now. She nodded when he said he'd be right back, watching as they moved onto the dance floor. Naomi was content just sitting on the sidelines and watching everyone else. Her feet had started to hurt anyway, so sitting out was a good thing. Moving her hand to her belly, she gasped when she felt a faint kick. "Well, good morning baby." She whispered, a smile crossing her face. "And how are you today?"

Max continued cradling and playfully throwing Arielle in the air catching her back in his arms gracefully. He enjoyed watching her smile and enjoy herself. It was part of his pleasure for being a father. "Again! Again!" Arielle squealed, waving her chubby arms in the air wanting to be tossed up again. Max did as she told him to do, and happily tossed her up in the air, and catching her back in his arms, kissing her forehead after.

Arielle squealed happily as Max continued to toss her, squeezing him in a hug when he kissed her. "Awi woves dada~" She giggled, taking his face in her hands and giving him a wet kiss on his mouth. Greg, who had designated himself as the photographer, was snapping away with his camera, wanting to capture this moment for Naomi, who was still sitting and rubbing her stomach, watching everyone have a good time.

Max chuckled, glad he had closed his mouth right before Arielle gave him that wet kiss of hers. "And daddy loves Ari." he smiled, returning another kiss on her nose, chuckling softly as she scrunched up her face at the kiss and rubbed her arm over her nose. Max glanced back over to Naomi then, noticing she was still sitting by herself, although it didn't seem like it anymore, seeing as she was talking to the baby inside her. He grinned lightly, looking back to Arielle with an idea. Hey Ari, you wanna go feel mommy's tummy? You can say hi to your brother." Arielle nodded excitedly, wrapping her arms tighter around Max's neck, leaning her head on his chest as he made their way back over to Naomi again.

"You can't stay up too long. Especially not tonight." Naomi told her baby, rubbing her stomach and receiving a kick in return. "That's just too weird, and I would probably freak. Just once, okay?" Naomi looked up when she heard Ari call "mama", a smile on her face. "Hey baby girl." She said, leaning forward to receive a wet kiss. "Did you have fun dancing with daddy?" She glanced over at Max, smiling at him. "I got a few pictures on my phone." Even though her phone was now safely tucked away in her purse. "What are you guys doing back over here?"

Arielle nodded in return after her wet kiss to Naomi. "Fun!" she repeated with a wide toothy smile, answering Naomi's question. Max laughed, hugging Arielle close to him again, kissing her once more before setting her down in front of Naomi. "Oh, did you now?" he chuckled, glancing at her purse on the table then back to Arielle toddling over to Naomi, stretching her arms out trying to reach for Naomi's belly. "Oh, you know, we just wanted to give you some company again, maybe talk to the baby as well." He noticed Arielle climbing up Naomi's legs now, trying to get on her lap, and he couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like Ari wants to get to know her little brother, too."

"Aww, you wanted to keep mommy company?" Naomi lifted Arielle into her arms, sitting her on her lap. "Or you just wanted to say hi to your little brother?" She laughed when Arielle began patting her stomach, since she didn't get how to rub quite yet. "I think she just wanted to see the baby." She laughed, smiling up at Max.

Max chuckled, watching his daughter pat Naomi's belly followed by landing her ear over her belly next, as if she could hear the baby's kicks or something. "Sure seems like it." he grinned, finally taking a seat beside his wife, keeping his eyes on Arielle who continued patting her mother's belly and listening for kicks. "Although," he looked up to Naomi again, "I mostly came over here because I didn't want to see you sitting her all by your lonesome." he kissed her cheekbone.

Naomi smiled down at her daughter, who was now babbling to her stomach. "She's so cute." Naomi smiled up at Max, leaning over to kiss him lightly. "Aww, thanks. I wasn't too lonely though, I don't mind sitting and watching everyone dance."

"Mhm." Max kissed her back, "Just like her mother." he grinned widely, glancing at Arielle babbling at Naomi's belly, and chuckled softly, returning back to Naomi again. "Well, its not really that normal to just let the bride sit by herself and talk to her baby inside her." he teased lightly, gently placing his own hand above Arielle's, rubbing it in little circular motions.

Naomi blushed lightly at the compliment, smiling. At Max's comment, she scoffed and rolled her eyes playfully. "It's not really normal for a bride to have someone in her belly either." She shrugged lightly, blushing again. Even though she'd been pregnant with Ari, she still wasn't used to people rubbing her stomach. "How much longer before we can leave?"

Max chuckled lightly. "True..." he hugged Naomi closer to him, while watching Arielle press her ear to Naomi's belly again. It startled him slightly when Naomi suddenly asked when they'd be able to get out of there. "Leave?" he questioned, his eyebrows furrowed with concern. Then it hit him. With her being so far in this pregnancy, he had almost forgotten how she must be feeling. He smiled at her softly then. "I'm sure we can leave whenever you feel like it." he kissed her cheek softly, "We'll just have to let everyone know we're ending this early."
