Parental Instincts

Special Chapter: Christmas

"Woaah... snow!" I heard the three girls said as they look out at the window.

"Yep, that's snow for you, white and cold." I said with a small smile as I place Ruby down on the comfy carpet and let her play with her toys.

I went to the kitchen to start my cooking for this Christmas while waiting for Emma to arrive. An hour had passed, I was done cooking one food and was now on to the next until my daughters suddenly called for me.

"Papa!" Yang stood by the doorway between the kitchen and living room.

"What is it, Yang?" I looked at her while continuing my cooking.

"We wanna play outside. Can we?" She asked.

"You girls can play later, I'm still busy cooking our meal here, no one will watch over you outside." I explained.

"Please..?" She gave me those pleading eyes.

The more I stare at those eyes, the more I feel guilty. I couldn't help but sigh, I turn off the stove and decided to continue it later after they finished playing outside.

"Fine, fine, I'll go get your coats." I said as I exit the kitchen and went up the stares.

"Yaaay!! Papa said we're allowed to play!" I heard her say to the others.

This made me smile and went on to get the girls' winter coats and boots. After that, I went down and enter the living room. I each placed the coats on each of them and let them put on their boots, I also did the same to Ruby and wrapped a small scarf around her neck.

"You girls done?" I asked.

"Yes!" Blake happily replied.

"We're ready!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Right, let's go!" I picked up Ruby and opened the door.

The three all run out of the house and started to dash around the snow, laughing and playing with the snow. Seeing this sight made me smile, Ruby watched the three play in joy as she claps her hands together while also giggling.

"Seems like you're already having fun, eh?" I poked her nose.

"Dada, s..snow." She smiled.

"That's snow for you, we'll head back inside as soon so daddy can finish cooking. Wouldn't want to catch a cold too." I said as I look back at the three.

Blake suddenly started making snowballs and throwing it at the other two, this made them to do it as well for payback. Yang got hit by the face that it made her fall down.

"Are you okay, Yang?" I asked.

"I'm okay!" She then wipes off the snow from her face and immediately stood up with a smile.

"Let's build a snowman!" Weiss suggested.

"Yeah, snowman!" Blake agrees.

"Papa, can you help up build a snowman?" Yang looks at me.

"Hm, sure thing. One sec." I kneel down and gently placed down Ruby.

I then grab on her little hands as she barely wobbles around due to the snow.  I knelt down beside her and started to form a large snowball with the snow in front of me.

Weiss, Blake and Yang are currently looking around for twigs and rocks that can be used as the snowman's eyes and hands.

I just got done with the lowest part now time for the middle one, I look at Ruby for a second and saw her playing with the little snow she is holding. Giving her a headpat, I went back to making the body. Just in time, a car arrived and parked in front of my yard, I look at a certain direction and saw Emma step out of the car, holding a bunch of gifts.
