A/N: So, this is a short fic that I found as a tumblr prompts under tag of Christmas Prompts and made it TLS-ish. Enjoy!


Oh, Christmas Tree


Kara smiled as she watched Frankie and Danny search for the perfect Christmas tree. Danny had returned from a six month deployment, he'd dropped his bags by the door and suggested they get a tree. So they had driven over an out of the city to find the tree farm and spent the last half an hour in the snow covered tree farm. She stood back watching father and son walk from tree to tree.

Every tree they'd found on so far was either too big or too small, too bushy or not bushy enough. She had to step back from the decision making process as she was almost at her wits end. If she were honest, she preferred taking photos on her phone of her boys. Frankie in his puffer snow suit holding onto Danny's hand as they made their way through the selection.

The two walked to the next tree and examined it. Kara smiled softly as Danny was teaching their four year old what the 'perfect' tree should look like. She wanted to tell him it was a lost cause but it was too adorable for her to ruin with logic especially given Frankie thought all the trees were fine and all he cared about was rolling in the snow and drinking hot chocolate.

Danny turned to her, his eyes warm with a love that had never wavered since the first time they realised they were meant to be. "I think we found our tree." he told Kara, she gave nod as she pocketed her phone and stepped up to join them.

"I think it's perfect." Kara told them.

"Just like something else I can see right now," Danny replied softly as he wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her close. He placed a gentle kiss on her lips, she deepened it for a moment that only managed to stretch into two when Frankie cackled. She broke the kiss and their attention turned to Frankie who was romping in the snow.

"I've missed this," he said with a warm smile before he kissed her forehead before he watched Frankie pick up snow and throw it up in the air.

"We've missed you too." Kara told him, she moved out of his arms and raced at Frankie chasing him in the snow before she made a snow ball. She pegged it at Danny, hitting him square in the chest.

"Oh, it's on." Danny told her, Kara laughed as he joined them.


The End.
