Meeting a Fellow Irish Family [Thomas + Family]

Danny, Linda and their sons Jack and Sean were walking through Central Park. It was a beautiful sunny day and they had decided to spend it outside, using the rare occasion that Danny had the weekend off to spend with his family.
They reached a playground and the boys were just about to leave, when they bumped into another family.

Thomas and Shannon were in Central Park with their family, their two youngest, Bridgett and Patrick, were heading to the playground as well when the two kids bumped into them, Thomas walked over to help Patrick up, "Hello lads" Thomas said to Sean and Jack, not seeing their parents behind them

Jack and Sean stopped in front of Thomas.
"Sorry sir!" Jack, oldest, said to him, just as Danny and his wife walked up behind them. Knowing Thomas and Shannon from the department Danny greeted them with a small smile and handshake.
"Detectives." he said while greeting them.

"Its okay lad" Shannon said to him, Thomas looked over at Danny, "Danny, hello" he said in reply as he shook his hand, "How are you?" he asked as the rest of his family walked up behind him

"Enjoyin' the weekend off. You?" Danny asked, after Sean and Jack greeted Shannon and Thomas and then headed off to the playground meeting the youngest Kelly children.
"Didn't know you had a son, too?" Danny commented a little surprised and introduced them to his wife Linda.

Thomas nodded, "I am" he replied, "This is Patrick Thomas Kelly" he said, introducing his son, "You remember the rest of the family." he added as Shannon and the girls introduced themselves to Danny's wife

Danny gave him a small smile.
"Nice to meet you all." Linda said to the girls and their parents.
Danny shortly watched his boys on the playground playing.

at the same time, Bridgett joined Danny's sons while Colleen, Erin and Sara staid with them, "Have you and dad worked togeather before?" Colleen asked

Danny looked at Colleen with a small smile before he said "We met a few times in the precinct and caught a few baddies already."

Colleen smiled at Danny, "Cool" she said to him, Thomas nodded as Colleen said that

Danny and Linda smiled when Colleen said that.
At the same time Sean came running toward his father, trying to hide from his older brother who tried to catch him as they played tag.

Thomas looked down at them, at the same time, Colleen walked up behind Sean and tapped him on the shoulder

Sean turned and looked at Colleen.
"Yes?" he asks her in a friendly tone, like he was taught from his parents, causing Linda to smile proudly and Danny to watch them with a small smile of his own.

"Your it" Colleen said to Sean before running off, Thomas watched her, as did Shannon, who was smiling at her

Sean groaned a little and then gave chase after Colleen.
"I'll get ya, you'll see!" he called after her, causing Linda to chuckle and Danny to grin a little.
"You've got a smart kid, Thomas." Danny said.

Thomas nodded, "Thank you" he replied, "She gets it from Shannon" he added, "And from you" Shannon said to him

"I'd say she get's it from her parents, just like all of 'em." Danny said with a smirk.

Thomas smiled when Danny said that as Erin stood behind Shannon, she was more of the shy one of the family

Danny and Linda noticed that Erin was a little shy, but Linda gave her a living smile, hoping to get her a little out of her hiding spot.

Shannon looked down at Erin, "Its okay lass" she said to her in Irish, slowly, Erin came out from behind Shannon, "Hellos" she said, her voice low

"Hello." Linda greeted in her friendly and kind tone, Danny watching them with a small smile.

Erin smiled a bit, then stepped out more from behind her mom

"Knew you were a brave girl, too." Danny said to Erin, offering his very rare soft smile.

Erin smiled a bit, then reached out, meanwhile, Colleen was still running from Sean, Sara was watching them as she held her sister

Danny watched his son Sean running after Colleen, Jack watching his brother with a smile, before he ran up to his younger brother, the two boys quickly changing the role of the chasing person, Sean taking a small break from running and Jack was quickly catching up with Colleen.
Danny watched that scene with a small smile.
