I don't own Phineas and Ferb.

Phineas heard the key turn in the lock - his wife was coming back. He stood up from his desk in the study and went into the hall to greet her.

She walked into the house, bringing in a gust of freezing cold air and a few snowflakes, which fell slowly to the floor.

"Hey, hon!" she exclaimed cheerfully, her cheeks reddened from the cold (a really charming look, he noted), and started unwrapping herself from her long scarf.

"Hey," he replied warmly, walking up to her. "How was the meeting?"

"Awesome." She smiled. "We're gonna have to call Jeet to congratulate him; Ginger announced that she's pregnant!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" Phineas' face lit up. He started helping Isabella with her jacket.

"Not yet," she protested. "I have to regain a normal temperature." She chuckled.

"Okay," Phineas agreed. "I'm glad you're back."

He cupped her face and kissed her forehead, surprised by how cold it was.

"Is it that freezing outside?" he asked with wide eyes. "You could have phoned, I would have picked you up!"

"It's okay, really." She smiled. "You have work, and what's a brisk walk for me, even in such weather?"

"Oh, come on, you're more important than my work."

He pulled her close, slid his arms under her jacket, and started rubbing her back, to help her get warm again. Isabella returned the embrace automatically. It was so pleasant...

"Better?" he whispered into her ear.

"Definitely." She nestled herself in his embrace, letting him warm her up yet a little more with the long, steady movement of his hands. "You're really sweet, you know?" Isabella said playfully.

"Sweet?" He laughed.

She meant it. It might have sounded trivial, but that was his way. He showed he cared and was protective in such an endearing way, which she could not resist. She looked up at him with a grin.

"I meant it like... caring."

He kissed her again.

"By the way... I am already not seeing you here! On the couch and under the blankets! At once! I'll make you hot tea," he said with a chuckle, as he started leading her to the living room.

"Okay, okay, let me at least wash my hands!" she replied with a laugh.

A while later, she was sitting on their couch, wrapped in blankets, holding a warm mug. She snuggled closer to him as he sat down next to her. It felt so wonderful, to be taken care of immediately after coming home. Isabella glanced at Phineas, at his gaze sweeping over her to check if she was all good. In such moments, her heart melted; she felt she loved him very, very much. She embraced him tight with her free arm, and rested her head on his shoulder. Perfect. This and nothing more.

"Yep, I used the right word," she announced suddenly.

"Huh?" he asked, a little confused.

"You are totally sweet."
