I Made a Promise

Chapter 46

"Hey Sky." Maxx smiled.
"Damn, you're getting tall." I laughed and put my hand on his shoulder, then I hugged him.
"Hi sweetheart." Both my moms said. I hugged them both.
Daniel said hi and either hugged or fist bumped them.

"Ok so, we figured that Mom and Ma, you two can be in the guest bedroom, and Maxx and Scarlett, you two can either both sleep in the sofa bed, or Scarlett, we have a twin size air mattress that we can put on the floor in either the guest room or here." I explained.

"We can figure that out tonight." Mom said.
"Or that, yea." Daniel chuckled.
"Ok, you guys want to put your bags in the guest room?" I asked
We led them to the guess bedroom and they put all their bags there.
"There's a bathroom connected to this bedroom, and a closet. There's also a half bath down the hallway. Mine and Daniel's room is down the hall." I explained.

"You guys want breakfast?" Daniel asked my family.
"That would be nice." Ma said.
"Yea, we can make French toast, crepes, eggs, Arepa.." Daniel listed, my family was confused on that last one.

"Uh, what's that?" Ma asked.
"Arepa? It's this corn meal patty, it's a Colombian dish." Daniel explained.
"Ohh, that makes sense. But you're last name is very Irish?" Mom asked.

"Yea, my dad's father was Irish, but my dads both Colombian and Irish, and my mother is fully Colombian." Daniel explained.
"Oh that's nice." Ma said.

We all went to the main area.
My family decided on crepes.
My moms and Maxx were sitting at the island as we talked and Danny and I cooked.
"Sky, can I use the bathroom?" Scarlett asked me.
"Yea of course, your don't have to ask." I told her.

"You sure you don't want us to help?" Mom asked as I was mixing the batter.
"No it's fine, you guys are the guests." I chuckled.
"Hey babe, where's the crepe maker?" Danny asked me.
"Um, that cabinet under the microwave." I said.

"I don't see it." He said.
"Look with your eyes not-" I started to say, then I remembered my family was here.
I knew Maxx knew what I was gonna say because I used to say it to Cam. He chuckled a bit.
"Found it." I heard Danny say.

Danny took over with the batter and I started cutting up the fruit and nuts.
"So Maxx, you're a senior now right?" I asked him.
"Yea, pretty excited." He chuckled.
"What college are you looking into?" I asked him.
"Uh, the fire academy.." he said.

My jaw dropped.
"Really? That's great!" I chuckled.
"Yea, I'm excited." He smiled.
I remember that's what Cam wanted to do. It was either that, or a teacher. But I knew he wanted to be a firefighter.
"What grade is Skylar going into now? 3rd?" I asked my parents.
"4th, she's pretty excited." Ma smiled.

"Hey Sky, have you ever used this?" I heard Scarlett.
"Use what Scar?" I asked her, I looked up and saw she had one of the guns.
"Oh my god, Daniel!" I called out.
"What?" He said, then once he saw what Scarlett had, he ran over.

I ran behind him and my parents and Maxx ran behind.
"Hey, don't touch these." Daniel took it out of Scarlett's hands.
"Oh my god please say the safety was on..." I panicked to Daniel.
He looked at the gun and shook his head at me.

"Shit..." I whispered under my breath and rubbed my face.
"Scarlett, you don't ever touch those, ok?" I bent down to her.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because those are dangerous." Mom said.

"Who's did she have?" I asked Daniel.
"Yours." He said, taking the magazine out and emptying out the barrel.
"Here, let me take it." I said.
He gave it to me and I took it to our room.
I closed the door behind me, but heard it open again and saw Daniel there.

"How did she even get it? Why would she? My god..." I panicked to Daniel.
"Listen it's ok... yes, she shouldn't have done that, but nothing happened." He told me.
"Shit... my god..." I whispered under my breath and rubbed my face.
"Here, let's just... put them away, and finish with breakfast. Don't worry..." he said, giving me a kiss on the forehead.

I nodded my head and we put the guns away. Then we went back out.
"I'm sorry Sky." Scarlett told me.
"It's fine Scar, you just can't do that ever again. Those are really dangerous and you could get really hurt." I told her.

"But then, why do you have it?" She asked me.
"Because we're cops, so we use them for our jobs." I explained to her.
She nodded her head and I hugged her.
"Don't do that again ok? You have us all a heart attack." I laughed.
