Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom – I never have and I never will, simple as that. All of that amazing creative talent goes to Butch Hartman. Nickelodeon just sucks, I'm sorry (no, I'm not).

Author's Note: Welcome, welcome! You have reached the fourth chapter of a ten-chaptered collection of one-shots all based on the community "10snuggles." Do not fret, you will get your daily dosage of smut, fluff, and snuggles by the time this set of one-shots is complete. I aim to please.

Note: I decided to go for something completely clean and fluffy this time around, since I've been overly dirty in this collection so far. So, as a treat, something absolutely sugary sweet!

004 : Snow

Rating : PG

Theme :3. Snowfall

August 23, 2007

"It's snowing." Her voice cut into the silence, her eyes fixated on something unseen in the distance.

The crisp, white flakes fell rhythmically in a reassuring wave from the sky. Just in time for the holidays.

"I hate snow," he sighed, sitting back on the top step of his front stoop. The large 'Fenton Works' sign glowing ominously above their heads.

"Hate is a strong word. What did it do to you to make you hate it?" she asked softly, no sarcasm in her voice for once. Watching the snowfall, she felt subdued; she felt at peace.

He shrugged, sighing a bit, "I don't know, to be honest. It reminds me of Christmas, which really hasn't brought good memories. Plus, it reminds me of that time you got into that car wreck due to that thick patch of black ice."

She nodded somberly, edging closer to Danny, "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about that."

Reaching out, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer into a sideways hug. He could feel that she was shivering due to the cold; even though he was used to low temperatures due to his powers, it was chilly out. After feeling her head touch his shoulder, he rested his head on top of hers. "How could you almost forget about that?" he asked, truly wondering how she could have forgotten about having to get stitches on her forehead due to the previously mentioned accident.

"I've been to the hospital for more important things since then," she chuckled, nudging him lightly. He could sense the hesitation in her voice as she took a deep breath before she asked, "Christmases have gotten better for you, haven't they?"

Danny grasped her hand in his, slowly drawing circles on the back of her hand with his thumb. "Yeah," he said softly. "Even though you don't celebrate it, being here with me makes a difference. It's like I get what I want every single year, even without getting any presents."

She smiled, snuggling up against him. "Good, I'm glad." Pulling his hand up to her lips, she kissed it tenderly, then brought their hands back down to her lap. "My parents feel robbed that we don't spend Chanukah with them, but I'd rather celebrate Christmas." As an afterthought, she added, "Shh, don't tell them that."

He chuckled, pulling her even closer. He kissed the top of her head, and kept his lips there for an extra moment. "Thank you," he mumbled against her hair.

"For?" she questioned, smiling at his behavior. They rarely got these moments alone anymore.

"You know," he mumbled softly, nuzzling her hair.

"I do?" she questioned, an all-knowing smile gracing her lips. She turned her head, making him pull away slightly from her. Looking him in the eyes before she swept in, she smiled again, this time allowing it to reach her eyes. Leaning in, she brushed her lips against his eagerly; he responded to the kiss immediately, reaching his free hand up to cup her cheek. Tracing her tongue along his bottom lip, he met her tongue with his own, kissing her slowly, deliberately. Neither minded the sprinkling of snow that was falling upon them.

Suddenly, Danny felt a tug on the side of his jacket, and he turned to see the small visitor. The visitor, wrapped in a white scarf and wearing a red sweater, smiled anxiously at Danny. He pointed to the sky, "Daddy! Snow?"

He smiled, nodding, "That's right: snow."

"Good job, Danny," Sam smiled, then chuckled at the reactions from both males, who both perked up and grinned back at her with matching lopsided grins. She knew from the first time she saw them grin like that at her, her son was going to break a lot of hearts with that smile.

"I meant your son, Daniel. We already know you know what snow is," she quipped as she smirked at her husband, reaching out to pull the younger Fenton into her lap. Snuggling with the child for warmth, she said to him, "What did I tell you about snow?"

The four-year-old replied, "They... they are different!"

"How are they different?" she asked, watching him try and reach out to catch the falling snow.

"None are the same? Right, Mommy?" he asked, unsure if he was right or not, but shot blindly in the dark.

She ruffled his hair, "Great job, buddy!" Placing a kiss on his temple, she leaned back on the stoop, still close to her husband. "I gotta ask, now," she started, still speaking to the child. "Why did they send you out here?"

"Um... um..." he struggled to remember, but then said, doing a pretty good impersonation of his aunt Jazz, "Dinner is ready!"

She grinned, then hoisted her little man in her arms and stood up, still holding him. Looking down at Danny, still watching the snow, she smiled at how serene he looked. "Didn't you hear the man? Food's ready!"

With her words snapping him out of his reverie, he smiled up at her, then stood up himself. Kissing her on the lips quickly, much to their son's dismay (and an "ewie!") they ventured into the house, full of wonderful aromas and excited chatter.

To Danny, snow didn't seem so bad anymore, and neither did Christmas; especially when he had his family, whole and together, to share it with. Despite how "Christmas special-y" that sounded.
