A/N: This came from a different idea I discussed with Scousedancer and I'm dedicating to tmtcltb as I know she'll get a kick out of some Danara goodness. Thank you and Enjoy.

Daddy's Ice Cream

First thing Danny did after getting back to his and Kara's home was kick off his boots, followed by kissing Kara just how he'd dreamt for weeks before heading straight to the freezer. It had been a crap shoot of a week and given Frankie was still awake he could only indulge in one of his PG rated vices.

He pulled open the freezer and ignored how empty it was looking. He remember how only a few years ago it would be brimming with frozen vegetable, ice blocks and other long term perishable but these days... well, fridges and freezers held the bare minimum which wasn't out of choice. Luxury foods like Ice cream, candy and chocolate were becoming increasingly scarce which made the pint size tub of vanilla ice cream in the freezer something extraordinarily special.

It was also the only thing they had left in the freezer. He lifted it out and smiled as he'd been waiting weeks for just a spoonful of this sweet goodness. He took the lid off the pint ice cream and his eyes bugged out as he found only a 1/4 of it remaining. Estimating a quarter was him being generous.

"Wow, you really saved the ice cream for me." Danny said wryly, not angry at all but thoroughly amused.

"You were gone for six weeks, I am weak when it comes to ice cream and my Mom found strawberry sauce from a international foodstore, so don't judge me." Kara told him quickly as she was not apologetic at all.

Danny smiled and gave a chuckle as he could count on one hand the things that his wife was weak about. So he wasn't about to judge her. He felt someone tug on his pant leg and looked down to see Frankie. His little eyes glowing with excitement at the sight of the ice cream container being outside of the freezer.

"You want some ice cream buddy?" he asked, Frankie reached up towards the ice cream bucket which gave Danny his answer. He closed the freezer and pulled out two spoons from a drawer and moved to couch where Kara was sitting. He passed her a spoon which earned him a brilliant smile as she realised he was going to share with her even if he was well within his rights not too.

Frankie toddled over to them, following the ice cream bucket. Danny chuckled as he lifted his son into his lap. He'd grown so much since the last time he'd seen him. He wished he had more time with him but the mission had to come first. It had to for it was Frankie's future they were fighting for.

He dipped the spoon into the bucket and lifted it out. Frankie lifted up and opened his mouth in preparation, his tiny tongue out and ready to receive. Danny wanted to have the first bite but couldn't be mean, so he spoon fed it to Frankie. His tiny hands latched onto Danny's as he swallowed up the ice cream into his mouth.

Danny and Kara chuckled as Frankie squeezed up his tiny face in an array of expressions from confusion, disgust, discomfort before it mellowed out into a smile. He gave a chuckle and bounced with glee as he decided he'd like it.

"I think he likes it." Danny remarked.

"He does but I've only given him small amounts." Kara told him, Danny gave a nod as his heart panged for missing out on the small moments but he brushed it away as he was here now. That was what mattered most and he was going to enjoy it.

Danny dug into the container again and lifted out a spoonful, Frankie prepped himself again but as soon as he realised he wasn't getting it. He frowned and rose in Danny's lap grabbing onto his arm to try and pull the ice cream spoon back to his mouth. Danny and Kara couldn't help but laugh as Frankie valiantly tried to climb Danny for prize. Danny moved his hand out of reach without tipping the spoon but Frankie was determined.

"Daddy's ice cream." Kara said as she tried to pry their son off Danny before the ice cream fell off the spoon. "Sit down please."she told him, Frankie looked to Kara and grumbled random noises of his displeasure. "Please, sit down for Mommy." she told him in a more serious tone. Frankie grumbled but complied as Kara thanked Frankie for his cooperation; Danny scarfed what was near melted on the spoon before Frankie could change his mind.

"Mm so good." Danny murmured through his full mouth. It was totally worth it. Kara smiled as she ate her own spoonful of ice cream, nodding in agreement. Her expression turning to pleasure as she enjoyed what was possibly the last ice cream they'd share as a family. But it soon turned to laughter as Danny playfully fought with their son for equal share of whatever left over came out of the bucket.

"Come on, we gotta share." Danny complained between his laughter as he leaned far away from Frankie who was chuckling and grappling him for the ice cream. Just as Danny turned to eat what was on the spoon; he came nose to nose with Halsey. "No." Danny told him, but Halsey ignored him as he licked the ice cream straight off the spoon. Then proceeded to lick Danny across the face as a 'thank you' with his cold tongue.

Danny sat up and looked to Kara who at this was had tears in her eyes from laughing so much. He looked at the empty container and then back to her gave her a playful pout and tried to look sad. Looking for an ally as Frankie slipped off his lap to play with Halsey.

"Awwh, I'll make it up to you later." Kara promised him before giving him a chaste kiss and picking up the container and spoons. Danny watched her move into the kitchen; so in love with her as she was giving him some time to play with Frankie. So he took advantage of it and went in search of Halsey and Frankie.
