Protecting Each Other No Matter What (Danny Reagan)

SUNDAY DINNER

Danny POV:

We wake up the next morning, get up out of bed, and get ready for church. Once, we were ready, we went to church, and after church we headed to dad and grandpa's. Before, Kristen and I got out of my car, I could tell that she was a little nervous.

"Kris?" I ask, placing my arm behind her head.

"Yeah Danny?" She asked.

"Are you alright?"

"Um, I don't really know, to be honest."

"What's wrong?"

"Well other than you, Erin, and your dad, I haven't really seen your family in years."

"So are you nervous about seeing everyone again or something?"

"Yeah I am actually."

"You'll be fine, and everyone will be happy to see you again."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am."

"Okay." She kissed me real quick, and then I kissed her back. After a few minutes we got out of my car, and went into dad's house.

Kristen POV:

When Danny and I walked into Frank and Henry's house, I was literally almost tackled by Jamie, Danny's kid brother, and he hugged me.

"Kristen," Jamie said, not letting me out of the hug.

"Hi Jamie," I say.

"How have you been?"

"I've been alright."

"Alright, is that all you got for me."

"Jamie what else do you want me to say?"

"I don't know anything but alright."

"Okay. I'm good. What about you?"

"Well, I was gonna be a lawyer, which is why I went to Harvard, but ended up becoming a cop instead."

"Yeah? What Precinct do you work out of?"

"The 12th. What about you? What are you doing now?"

"I'm a Detective."

"What precinct?"

"I was in the 27 but got transferred to the 54."

"Oh nice." After a few minutes of catching up with Jamie, Frank came into the living room to get us.

"Jamie, Danny, and Kristen," Frank began. "Let's eat."

"Okay dad," Danny said, as he took my hand. The three of us walked into the dining room. Jamie sat on Frank's right with Erin and her daughter Nikki, Danny and I sat on Frank's left, Frank and Henry were on either end of the table. We started eating, and then Henry broke the silence.

"So Kristen," Henry began.

"Yes sir?" I ask.

"I heard that you're working at the 54 now?"

"Yes sir, I am."

"Who's your partner?"

"I am grandpa," Danny replied.

"Danny," I say.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Okay."

"Danny and Kristen, don't you two have something else to announce?" Frank asked.

"Right, uh," I began, getting nervous again. "Danny, can you help me out here please?"
