A/N: First holiday themed fic and I'm kind of happy about that. First SwanQueen fic, too, but not the first time I've wrote something for SwanQueen. Daily updates this time! Now, onto the fic!


"It's snowing, Mom!" Henry exclaimed happily.

Regina groggily opened her eyes and sat up in bed, her gaze going to her fourteen-year-old son in her doorway. She rubbed her eyes before she pushed her comforted back. Regina swung her legs over the side of her bed and stood up.

Fully looking at Henry, Regina asked, "Where's Emma?"

Henry rocked back on his heels. "She's already downstairs fixing breakfast."

The brunette took her robe off the back of her door once she had made her way over to Henry, knowing that the nightgown she had on would not be warm enough once she got downstairs. She followed her son down the hall and to the staircase before a thought made itself known in the back of her mind.

"Do you know how long it has been snowing?" she asked once they had made it to the bottom of the steps.

Henry shrugged before he glanced at her. He motioned to the window as he offered, "Well, there's enough snow that they've decided to close school."

Regina chuckled before she countered, "That means you can help me shovel the driveway."

He groaned and trudged to the kitchen, Regina following him. She knew that Henry liked when he could play in the snow, but he liked it more when he could actually have a day off of school. The brunette could only imagine how Snow and Charming were dealing with their day off.

"Good morning, Regina," Emma greeted as they entered the kitchen.

She made her way over to her girlfriend and kissed the blonde soundly on the mouth. She could taste the cinnamon that had been on the blonde's hot chocolate as she gently traced Emma's bottom lip with her tongue. A playful gagging sound forced them apart and Regina looked at Henry.

The brunette mayor quirked a brow as she inquired, "Do you want to play in the snow, young man?"

Henry quickly went back to his breakfast as Regina helped herself to some of the bacon and eggs that Emma had made. She smirked softly at her girlfriend's reaction, knowing that Emma had rarely seen her eat bacon. Regina only shrugged at that as she took a bite of a bacon strip. Satisfied with how it tasted, Regina took her plate to the kitchen table and set it at her spot. She got her cup of coffee before her gaze was drawn to the snowflakes that were visible from the window and her lips parted.

"It's really coming down," she murmured, almost surprised by that fact.

Emma hummed softly before she offered, "Reminds me of a blizzard in Boston a few years back. No one could get anywhere, it was that bad."

A smile, wide and mischievous, spread across Henry's face as he suggested, "Let's go outside!"

Regina and Emma looked at one another and the latter asked, "Is there anything specific that you want to do?"

"Play in the snow. Maybe have a snowball fight."

The brunette smirked and lifted the mug of coffee to her lips before she looked between the blonde and their shared son. She set the mug down before the smirk fully settled on her lips. "What makes you want to have a snowball fight now, Henry?" she asked.

The teenager matched his brunette mother's smirk before he motioned for her to come over to him.

Regina listened to her son's request and leaned down beside him. He whispered into her ear and the smirk that she wore only grew. She nodded at Henry when he had finished what he needed to say. Emma's brow furrowed as she looked between them.

"What are you two planning?"

"Nothing, dear. Just trying to decide what we're going to do outside.

Emma didn't press the issue as she passed Regina her cup of coffee. The brunette happily drank the rest of her coffee before she set it down. She gently squeezed Henry's shoulders in a manner that she had when he was younger. The brunette then ruffled his hair before she took his empty plate to the dishwasher.

Regina then turned to face the two people she held most dear and said, "Let's get ready to go outside, then. Henry, be sure to bundle up. We're not sure how much snow has already fallen."


Henry pulled the door open and he ran outside, boots only sinking into the snow by half an inch. Emma and Regina followed as the latter pulled the door closed behind them. Henry and Regina locked gazes with one another and she joined him ahead of Emma.

The blonde had become a little suspicious of their actions and followed them at a distanced before Henry and Regina made their way to the mansion's backyard. She quirked a brow and followed them before she stopped. She heard laughing and, if she focused, barking. Emma ran toward the sound and nearly tripped over her own feet as she saw what was barking.

Regina had, probably through magic, created a moderately sized canine from the snow around them. In spite of that, the canine was as real as anything that Emma had seen. Regina laughed at Emma's reaction and she motioned for the dog to go over to Emma. The blonde soon fell back into the snow as she dog leaped on her torso. The dog licked her face and yipped happily before it clambered off of her and ran back to Regina.

"Good boy, Fen!" the brunette said with a laugh.

Before she knew it, Emma wrapped her arms around Regina's waist and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

Henry, having crouched behind one of the trees in the backyard, came out of his hiding spot and he threw a snowball at the back of Emma's head.

The blonde and brunette sprang apart as Henry came out of his hiding spot, another snowball in his hand. With Fen barking all the while, the family dissolved into a snowball fight with giggles all around.


A/N: Well, I hoped you all liked it. As I said, there will be daily updates. Probably in the evening, though, seeing as I am a college student.

P.S.: Comments do make me write faster.
