I'm Coming Home (USUK Fanfic)

CHAPTER 2: Winter Fun

The drive back home from the Café was quiet and peaceful. Both the girls had fallen asleep in the back of the the car. Arthur was in the passenger seat while Francis drove. Arthur felt much better after the play and Café. He was glad that his daughter and friends cheered him up. Arthur couldn't wait to get home and go to bed himself. Arthur started dozing off when Francis shook his shoulder. They were back at Arthur and Amelia's house. Arthur got out of the car and walked over to get out Amelia. Amelia was out like a light and Arthur knew she won't wake up, so he had to pick her up out of the car and carry her like a child up to the house. She wrapped her arms around Arthur's neck like one too. He managed to get up the steps without slipping and to the door. Francis said goodbye and drove off. Arthur waved and dug around his coat pocket for his keys. When he found them he unlocked the door, stepped inside and carried Amelia up to her room. Once he got to her room, he set her down on her bed. He took off her boots, coat and scarf. He tried to wake her to tell her to get into her pj's, but that didn't happen. Arthur sighed and went to his own room to get ready for bed. He got changed, got comfy in bed and was out in a matter of seconds.

It was a peaceful morning at first, but was very loud the next. Amelia shouted and jumped on top of Arthur.

"Good morning dad! Time to wake up!"

"Nngg... I don't feel like it..."

"Come on dad! I want waffles!"

"Uhhhh... Fine... Let me get up first..."

"Oh, heheh... Sorry..."

Amelia got off Arthur and sat at the end of the bed. Arthur sat up and stretched his arms. When he was stretching, he was slowly leaning forward and when he was close enough, he lunged at Amelia. He grabbed her and pulled her down with him.

"Ah! Haha! Let me go dad!"

"Hahaha! Nevah!"

Arthur started to tickle Amelia and she started laughing harder.

"Ahahahaha! Dad, stop!"

"I will tickle you forever!"

"Haha! *large inhale* Dad- haha! I'm, I'm gonna pee-he-he!"

"Don't do that!"

Arthur pushed her toward the bathroom and she ran off. Arthur was laughing his ass off and hitting the bed. Amelia came back a couple minutes later, still laughing. Arthur got up and kissed her on the top of her head. She giggled and they went downstairs. Arthur started making waffles and Amelia made tea for Arthur. When Arthur was finished with the waffles, he handed them to Amelia and she put nearly the entire bottle of syrup on them. Arthur rolled his eyes and sat down next to Amelia with his tea. They talked about the play the night before and what they were going to do today. They were going to the park and the movies afterwards. When they were done with breakfast, they got ready and headed to the park. It was colder out today, so they both had to bundle up. They walked to the park and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. It was lightly snowing and there were small children running around having a snowball fight. Amelia saw them and joined in the fun. Arthur stood on the sidelines and watched with a big smile. All the smaller children teamed up on Amelia and she had a laughing fit. She beckoned Arthur to join, so he made a snowball and instead of throwing it at one of the other kids, he hit Amelia in the back. She gasped and turned towards Arthur.

"Dad, you traitor!"

"Haha! I couldn't help it! Sorry love."

"Oh, it's on now! Prepare for a war dad!"

"Ha! Bring it!"

Both Arthur and Amelia started making snowballs. Arthur finishes first and chucked the ball at Amelia. She managed to barely dodge it just in time. She looked where it landed and turned back with wide blue eyes. Arthur smirked and tossed another snowball in the air, catching it when it fell back. Arthur got ready to throw again, but Amelia was too fast. She threw the snowball and it nailed Arthur right in the face. Arthur groaned and Amelia was rolling on the ground laughing.

"Oh, you're going to get it now..." Arthur said devilishly.

Amelia stopped laughing and looked at her father scared. He had an evil grin on his face and his eyes looked shady. Amelia gulped hard and bolted up to run. Arthur made another snowball and hurled it toward Amelia. It whizzed by her causing her to yelp in fear. Arthur was running right behind her, just an arms length away. Amelia turned to look and went pale. Arthur's face was right there and he had a terrifying look on it. Amelia screamed and started to run faster. Before she could get ahead, Arthur tackled her down into the fluffy snow. Amelia yelped when she hit the ground and started laughing into the snow, making a muffled noise. Arthur rolled off her and started laughing. They lay there, laughing and Amelia was still face first in the snow.

"Ahhh... I'm getting too old for this." Arthur said with a smile and out out breath.

"Haha! You're not that old! You're only 42!"

"That's old to me."

"Pfft, whatever. Hey! What time is it?"

Arthur looked at his wristwatch. "It's 1:35pm. We should head to the movies."

"Yay! Mocking Jay here I come!"

After Amelia made a quick snow angel, they headed to the movies. After the movie, both were about to head home when Arthur got an alert in his phone. Arthur has a weather alert system on his phone for the weather of England. The alert said a major blizzard was about to hit in 10mins. Arthur sighed and looked at Amelia.

"Well, looks like we're running home."

"Hehe! Wanna race?!"

"Haha, you're on!"

Arthur and Amelia raced back home to beat the storm. Amelia won.

"*pant* *pant* When did you get so fast?"

"Haha! When did you get so slow?"

Arthur unlocked the door and before Amelia walked in, Arthur picked up Amelia and carried her inside.

"Ah! Haha! Put me down dad!"

"Haha, as you wish."

Arthur plopped Amelia on the couch and sat on her.

"Ahahahaha! Dad, get off! You're crushing me!"

"This is for hitting me in the face earlier."

"What?! OH COME ON!"

"Hehe, deal with it."

"Ah! Get off fatty!"

"*gasp!* I am not fat!"

Arthur turned and sprawled out so he was laying on Amelia.

"*huff* OK, OK! You're not fat, but you're still crushing me!"

"Haha, alright." Arthur got up and Amelia tried catching her breath. She started giggling and Arthur just shook his head and smiled. Arthur made some hot chocolate and gave some to Amelia. Arthur and Amelia sat next to each other cuddling and watching the blizzard outside. Amelia took a nap on her dad and Arthur fell asleep as well with his head on top of Amelia's.
