AN: I DO NOT OWN CASTLE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WANT TO. ALL CHARACTERS AND CREATIVE CREDITING GO TO ABC.

Kate opened her eyes to see Castle next to her. She smiled and tried to remember the night before.

First we went to dinner, Kate and Rick had been together for a little over a year now and they still wonder how they keep it from Captain Gates. Then they came to the loft. Then we… Her mind trailed off to the night before trying to remember the vivid details of their sex. She smiled then pressed a quick kiss to Castles forehead. She got up of the bed and got dressed lazily. She walked into the kitchen and saw Martha and Alexis practicing one of Martha's scripts. She looked out and saw the fresh bacon, eggs and pancakes on the counter and walked by the chaotic scene the two redheads were making.

"Kate you're up! We took the liberty of making you two lovebirds breakfast." Martha said grinning at the thought of her son and Kate.

"Honestly Martha, do you two think you can keep it down. Castle's still sleeping." Kate asked and tried to get Martha to stop rambling on about her night with this handsome guy down at The Old Haunt.

"Hey, I just got up and I smelled the bacon from the bedroom!" Castle smiled at the sight of the bacon or maybe the sight of Kate. "Hey how is my little girl doing?" he walked over to Alexis and she beamed at her father.

"I'm doing wonderful dad. Well other than the fact that Gram and I were practicing for one of her plays." Alexis gave Martha a look that brought a smile and some laughs to everyone.

Kate glanced at Castle his sparkling blue eyes looking at her. Kate smiled and reached for a piece of bacon, some eggs and a pancake. "What are you looking at?" she turned to face Castle as she watched him squirm under her menacing glare.

"Do you want an honest answer or a liar answer?" he asked and then if things could get better he smiled his charming little boy grin and Kate's heart melted. "I'll be more than happy to give you either."

"Ok castle. I want honest because you know how much I love honest men." She smiled "And yes, I will listen to your pitiful lie later." He caught the playful tone in her voice and her blushing went a little pinker.

"Ok here comes honesty, I was looking at your wonderful ass." He said it with his little boy innocence that she nearly kissed him there but then she turned and realized Martha and Alexis were still there. "Now do you really want the lie?"

No, but please Castle, keep your childish comments to yourself and yourself only." Kate looked back at Martha who was trying to get Alexis off the phone so she could help her memorize her lines even though the auditions for the play would be two months away but hey what's a woman for trying. Alexis was busy talking with her boyfriend Max. Kate remembered last Christmas when Alexis had first met up with Max for a date.

Martha finally gave up and turned to Kate. "Darling will you help me?" Kate pondered what to say and remembered all the times Castle had warned her not to help.

"No I believe Castle and I have some unfinished business to take care of." Kate grinned at the thought and grabbed Castle by the ear and pulled him all the way back upstairs. God, she thought, I haven't done that for five years now.

"Kate. Why did you do that? I thought we agreed not to play like that anymore." Castle was rubbing his ear and looking at Kate with longing and wanting. He wanted her and she wanted him they leaned in to each other and kissed. They pulled back when Kate's phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID and frowned. "So much for that idea." She picked up the phone. "Beckett" she answered.

"Beckett, glad to hear from you. How is Castle?" Kate heard laughing from Ryan and Esposito. Kate rolled her eyes. "You two better have something or else." She growled through the phone.

"Yeah, we have a body, two blocks east of Castles loft." Came Esposito's voice.

"Ok, be there soon." Kate said as she hung up. "God, Castle what is worse than having a dead body ruin all the fun." The look she got back from him was priceless so she tried to hide the little chuckles she had. "Castle hurry up there is a dead body out there waiting for justice."

"I know, I know." Castle grumbled. He stuck his lip out in his famous pouty face that Kate adored so much. "You know Kate, I was wondering…
