The first in the series of twelve answers to Christmas themed prompts that me and my friend Khiela Cadona exchange. The answers will range from 100 to 500 words (this has turned out to be more of a guide line).

Prompt for 13.12.11:
Fandom: -open-
Song: I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Answer:

Fandom(s): Hawaii Five-0, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: implied Steve McGarrett/Buffy Summers

Disclaimer: I have no claim on neither Hawaii Five-0 nor Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

And Then She Kissed Him!

It was almost ready. Steve tightened few last screws and stood back to take a look at it.

There, on the back porch, stood a brand new swing he'd bought for his wife as a Christmas present. She loved to admire the sunsets and now she'd have a place she could admire them from. It was even sturdy enough that he and Emily could join her.

Speaking of the devil, the door opened with more force than necessary and a blur of purple and white attacked to hug his legs. It was Emily in all her five-year-old pajama-clad glory.

"Daddy. daddy! You never guess what I saw last night!" she was practically bouncing with excitement, her pigtails swinging along her movements.

"Good morning to you too," he couldn't help but chuckle at her. This wasn't the first and neither would this be the last time she came bouncing about, eager to share something she'd seen or heard.

"Daddy…" Emily whined, he wasn't taking her seriously.

"Okay, okay," he surrendered, "do tell, what did you see?"

"I saw Santa Claus!" Emily crowed, the momentarily irritation at her father all forgotten.

"You did? Where?"

"In the living room. I just wanted to get some water, when I saw him," Emily explained her father, although this version was slightly abridged one; the unedited version had more to do with the cookies her mother had baked than sudden thirstiness.

"What was he doing?"

"He was putting presents under the tree," Emily paused her explanation and frowned, "then mommy came there…"

"She did?" Steve asked, fainting surprise. "What did she do?"

"She talked with Santa… and then she kissed him! Why would she kiss him?" Emily asked. She didn't think mommy was supposed to kiss other men than her daddy- even if they were Santa Claus.

"I don't know, maybe she was thanking him for bringing the presents?"

"Oh," Emily thought about it. It sounded reasonable enough.

"We could always ask her…" Steve offered.

"No! Daddy, please, she'd get mad I was out of bed and was spying on her and Santa and then I won't get any cookies," Emily babbled, clearly devastated by what she thought her mother wouldn't do if she found out.

"Calm down, honey," Steve kneeled on the same level with her, "she wouldn't be mad at you for getting some water, but we don't need to tell her if you don't want to."

"It could be our secret?" Emily looked at her father.

"Sure, it'll be our secret," he nodded solemnly.
