A/N: Hey guys! Well, these days had been cold, right? Well, I decided to do a small chapter of Ezra and Kanan enjoying a Snow Day. I hope you enjoy this! I don't own any brands mentionated here.
Chapter 34: Snow Day
It was a very, very cold day of December and the Big City of New York was covered in a white blanket; the streets were empty except for a few people who were brave enough to get out from their homes and walk short distances before going back to their homes; schools, companies and banks were closed due to the winter storm that had hit the North of the country last Sunday.
This was one the biggest and coldest winter storms that had hit New York and due to the heavy snowfall of the last days, the mayor declared a Snow Day until the winter storm had passed. Since the declaration, the JFK airport and LaGuardia airport had suspended their activities and were closed, as well as the Ferry, even the New York Police Department had suspended activities; they knew that with these weather conditions, no one dared to go out and commit a crime.
Sheltered in their house away from the cold, Kanan and Ezra were enjoying a lazy day on the couch of the TV room and they were watching cartoons, the little boy giggled when he saw Bugs Bunny playing a prank on Elmer Fudd.
"Daddy! Loo!" Ezra said and pointed at the TV.
"I see bud." Kanan said and laughed softly at the cartoon. "Do you like the Looney Tunes?" He asked.
"Yeah!" The two-year old answered. "They funny!"
The young detective chuckled and they continued watching cartoons for a while. When the Looney Tunes ended, Kanan looked for another show for kids, then, he found Blue's Clues and left it there. He got up and grabbed his mug and Ezra's blue cup.
"You want more hot chocolate, bud?" He asked to his son but the little boy was so engrossed in the show that he barely nodded.
The young man smiled and went to the kitchen, he returned a few minutes later and placed the mug and the cup filled with hot chocolate on the coffee table and sat down on the couch. He smiled softly at Ezra who was "singing" the song of "Blue's Clues".
The phone rang and Kanan answered. "Jarrus". He said.
"Hey Kanan." A warm and soft voice answered.
"Oh, hi Hera." He said smiling softly. "How are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks." She answered. "How are you and Ezra?"
"We're good." He answered. "We're just enjoying our Snow Day."
"Yes, this is one of the biggest winter storms I have seen." The young CSI said.
"I'm guessing winter storms in Ireland are worse." The young man said.
Hera chuckled. "Well, the snowfall over there it's not only snow, it also rains, so…" She said.
"Woah, things there are differently, right?" Kanan said.
"Yes." She said.
Ezra crawled into his father's lap and patted his shoulder. "Daddy, daddy!" He said.
"What is it, bud?" Kanan asked.
"I want talk." Ezra said.
"You want to talk?" The young father asked and the little boy nodded.
"Alright." Kanan said and returned his attention back to the phone. "Hey, Hera?" He asked.
"Yes?"
"Someone wants to talk with you." The young man answered.
"Sure." The CSI said.
The detective gave his son the phone and the little boy took it. "Go on, bud."
"Hello?" Ezra said.
"Hey sweetie." Hera's voice answered.
"Hi!" The two year-old said happily.
"How are you, sweetheart?" She asked.
"Goo'!" The little boy said.
"I'm glad. Your daddy said you're drinking hot chocolate, is that true?" She asked.
"Yeah!" Ezra answered. "It yummy!"
"That's good." She said. "Do you like snow?"
"Yeah! But it cold." He answered.
Both adults chuckled at the raven-haired boy's answer. "Well, hun, it wouldn't be snow if it was warmer." Hera said.
Ezra giggled. "Choppy?" He asked.
"Chopper? Oh, he's here, honey. He doesn't like the cold, so he's curled next to me." The CSI answered.
Kanan smiled and took the phone from Ezra. "Well, we have to go." He said.
"Sure." The CSI answered. "Talk to you later?"
"Sure." The young man said. "Hey, I was thinking that maybe when the storm passes, you can go with me and Ezra to buy our Christmas tree." He said.
"I would like that." She answered.
Kanan smiled. "Alright, see you." He said.
"Bye Kanan. Take care and take care of Ezra." She said.
"I will." He said and hanged up the phone. "Alright, bud. What do you want to do?" He asked and the little boy shrugged.
"What do you say if we play 'Hide and Seek'?" The young man asked as he turned off the TV.
Ezra's blue eyes lit up at that. "Yeah!" He said excitedly.
The young man chuckled softly. "Alright, bud. Go and hide, okay?" He said.
The little boy smiled and went to hide, Kanan closed his eyes and counted to ten, when he finished he went to look for his son. He searched in his room and bathroom, then he went to check Ezra's room and bathroom, when he realized the little boy wasn't in the area, he went downstairs to look for him.
Ezra poked his head from his hidden place and smiled when he saw Kanan coming downstairs.
"I wonder where he is." The young man said and checked the living room.
"Nope, he isn't here." He said and checked the dinner room. "Nope."
Ezra giggled and poked his head again but he didn't saw Kanan, he frowned and came out from his hidden place. The little boy looked around trying to find his daddy but he didn't see him.
"Got ya!" Kanan said behind Ezra and picked the little boy and started to attack him with tickles. Ezra laughed and tried to get away from Kanan's fingers. The young man finally released him as they caught their breath.
"Daddy!" The raven-haired boy said happily and threw himself at Kanan.
Kana caught him and the little boy wrapped his arms around Kanan's neck and kissed him on the cheek. The detective smiled and kissed Ezra in top of his head. "I love you, bud." He said.
"Love 'ou 'oo!" Ezra said.
Kanan's smile grew. "C'mon, bud. Let's go and eat something." He said and took him to the kitchen.
Later, that night, the young man prepared Ezra's bath. "Alright, bud. Time for your bath." He said and picked the little boy up and took him to the bathroom.
After his bath, the young father took Ezra to his bedroom and changed him into his pajamas and helped him to brush his teeth; once Ezra was done, they returned to the room and the detective tucked his son.
"Goodnight, bud. I love you." Kanan said as he pulled the covers up to Ezra's chin.
"Love 'ou 'oo." The little boy said as his eyes became droopy.
The young man smiled softly and ran his hand through the dark locks of his son and waited until Ezra fell asleep. The detective got up five minutes later and walked to the door. Before he could turned off the lights, he put another thick blanket over the bedcover and kissed his son on the cheek, he stood by the doorway and glanced at the sleeping boy. He smiled when he saw Ezra hugging Tommy and turned off the lights and left the room.
A/N: Nope, even with this cold weather, there's snowfall here in Mexico City.
