Christmas countdown – Castle style

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, just a big fat Castle fan

So like everyone else I kind of want to do a Castle countdown! There may not be one every day because it's crazy with exams and school just now but I shall try! Again my English is not great! So sorry! :) And this story is set in season 4 so it good times with to crazy kids in love and soon Christmas!

December 1.

Castle knew he was a bit over the top with his love for Christmas. But he could not hold back his happiness when he wake up and knew it was the 1 of December. There was just something about it, something about the wait for Christmas.

As he walks out to make breakfast for himself and his lovely daughter, he sang on Last Christmas. Dancing a bit for himself as he walks in to the kitchen he hears Alexis laughing. "You never get too old for Christmas do you?" she was saying.

"Too old for Christmas, I tell you young woman. Christmas is the best time of year! And you have a great excuse for be a bit more kind" he smiled as his phone started to playing "All I want for Christmas is you" and Kate's picture smiled at him.

"Really, All I want for Christmas is you. You are such a teen age girl sometimes, dad. It's embarrassing." Alexis said.

"Ah, Detective how nice to hear your voice, do we have a murder today?" he asked than when he got the address. He said "Well then, I see you in 20 then."

"Well, my wonderful daughter. I have to go to a murder scene, must you have a wonderful day." He said giving her a hug. "Take care, dad" she yelled as he walked out the door.

Walking towards Beckett at the crime scene he had one extra cup of hot chocolate and a bear claw to Lanie. "One hot chocolate and a bear claw for my favorite ME." He said with a smile. "Why, thank you Castle" she smiled back than look strange to Beckett who got her own coffee and a bear claw "And then to the most beautiful detective, here you go" he said. Kate felt her own face grow red. "Thank you Castle. You are in a great mood today" she said.

"Of course I am. It's December" he said looking like she was crazy. Ryan was the first to speak. "So, who is our vic?" "Johan Moore, early 40's. He has a GSW to the chest and bruising, but nothing was stolen so it wasn't a mugging" Lanie informed them.

"Well Ryan and Espo, can you ask a bit around?, so go I and Castle back and try to find next of kin" Kate said.

Soon they sat in her car driving back and after a little bit of arguing listening to Christmas songs on the radio. "So Kate, do you want to eat an early lunch with me at Remy's? I'm starved! And you have to be to" he asked. "Well we can do that. We have a bit time before the boys come back, and I'm starved to." She smiled.

Well at the diner they sat down at "their" table. When the waiter came to them they both had and cheeseburger and fries. And as it was cold outside they went for water. As they talked Castle started to ask and care about her day and her father. He loved to have a reason to be extra nice to the woman he loved.

"What is this thing, Castle? I mean calling me beautiful, buying for Lanie and asking so much about me?" she had to ask even if she enjoyed it

"Is December, Kate. You should be extra nice before Christmas! You just have to get used to it, because I will do it every day. And about you begin beautiful, I just am stating facts. Everyone can see it." He smiled.

"Thank you" she smiled shy through her lashes.
