Okay so what If Esposito had a kid that he didn't know about until now.
I don't own any of Castle's characters, please don't sue me.
"I don't know man, if jenny leaves you'll never get any sleep with that little screaming machine." Esposito said into the phone.
"Aww man you know I love little SG but my ears don't." There was a knock on the door.
"Look man I'll call you back there's someone at my door. Alright Bye."
Esposito went to the door.
" Who is it? " Esposito said , there was no reply. Javier Looked throw his peep hole there was boy there. He opened the door. "Look kid I don't know what your selling but I'm not interested." Esposito went to close the door but the kid stuck his foot out.
"I'm not selling any thing my name is Joel, are you Javier?" The boy said.
"Yeah what's it to ya kid?" Esposito said opening his door back up.
Joel walked inside and dropped the duffel bag he was holding.
" Like I said I'm Joel… Joel Esposito. I'm your son, surprise pretty boy." Joel said crossing his arms.
"Wait what?" Esposito said. The boy handed Esposito an envelope.
"What's this?" he said opening the envelope
"It's supposed to explain ever thing, at least that what my mom said before she left for Vegas." Joel said flipping through channels.
"Vegas , why is she going to Vegas ."
"She's a 'dancer'." Joel said still watching tv.
"Uh alright , well make yourself confortable." Esposito read over the note, and looked at the birth certificate . Esposito sighed ." Stay There I have to make a call."
"Hey Doc, can you come over please… what not today this is serious. Alright Bye."
20 minutes later Lanie was standing there in Esposito's living room.
"If you the Doc you can check me out any time." Joel said looking at Lanie.
Esposito slapped him in the back of his head.
"How old are you any way 11-12?" Esposito said .
"Naw I'm 14 and all man." Joel said winking at lanie.
"Yup that's your son." Lanie said looking at them.
" Joel why don't you go unpack your stuff in my bed room."
Joel grabbed his duffel bag and book bag and went into Javier's room.
" Ok what am I supposed to do Lanie, I don't know any thing about being a father. Let alone to a kid that I just met not even half an hour ago. " Javier said pacing back and forth.
"Maybe you should calm down, you're a good guy ok you can do this I have faith in you."
Lanie gave him a hug.
"Oh my god wait don't go in the closet Joel!" Javier said after letting Lanie go.
"Too late , " Joel said walking out of the room. " So besides your array of magazines what is this little thing here." He said holding up a huge notebook. Javier ran and grabbed the notebook.
"That is none of your business pee wee. Any way let me properly introduce you two." Javier said " Joel this is Lanie my..uh Lanie this is Joel." Joel kissed her hand.
"Very nice to meet you." Lanie gave him a hug.
"Nice to meet you too. " Esposito clapped his hands together.
"Well I guess we should get something to eat because I'm starving what about you guys?" Esposito said
" I could do dinner." Lanie said letting go of Joel.
"Cool Remy's?" Esposito said "you can let go now man." He said to Joel who was still embracing Lanie.
"Don't kill my vibe man." Joel said. Esposito pulled him off her.
" Look I'm not a stick in a mud but we need boundaries. " Esposito said.
"See her ," Esposito said shoving his thumb towards Lanie "boundaries, if you live here you gonna respect her got it. Second don't go through my stuff in my room other than that we're cool."
"Aright, I get it." Joel said .
At Remy's Joel told them how he was from Jersey and that he spent the night at home alone most of the time, he did alright in school and he loved baseball more than anything . After wards Lanie had went home and Joel and Javier talked in the car on the way back to Javier's apartment.
"So what's going on with you and Lanie?" Joel said as they drove.
"What do you mean?" Esposito said looking forward trying to hide the expression on his face.
"I may be young but I'm not stupid I can see the way you guys look at each other , you telln me there's nothing going on yeah right." Joel said
"What Lanie and I have is just a bit complicated." Javier said as he approached his building.
"How complicated could it be?" Joel said . Esposito parked his car and looked at his son.
"Can we just drop it?" Esposito said with a sigh,
"Alright I won't poke but I wanna know if she'll be my new mommy one day." Joel said with a strait face.
"Listen ok, I'm sorry I haven't been there for Joel but in my defense I didn't know you existed, but I promise I'll make up for it." Javier said "we'll start by doing something with that mess you call hair." He ruffled Joel's curly bush
"Hey man chill." Joel said with a laugh.
"Seriously when's the last time you had a hair cut." Javier said getting out of the car.
"Well if today's Tuesday then it was three years ago." Joel said as they walked towards the elevator.
"That don't make no damn sense." Javier said shaking his head
" It's ard the girls at school used to say I looked like Princeton from Mindless Behavior."
"Mindless what? Let me tell you something that's not going fly in New York you have two options get that mess cut or braided." Javier said opening the front door.
"I don't like people touching my hair." Joel said
"Great cut it is, I'll have to take you to my barber." Javier said looking at the boy's hair.
"That's great and all but where am I going to sleep? I'm way to old to be cuddling with you."
"My couch has a bed I'll pull it out for you, why don't you hit the shower there are towels in the hall closet." Javier said. Joel went into the bathroom. Javier set up the bed. When Joel got out of the shower every thing was set up.
"Alright man , you can play the game watch tv, don't order any paper view though, there's snacks in the kitchen there's uh soda in there don't touch my beer or the wine." Joel looked at him " You keep wine in fridge?" Joel said with a raised eye brow
"No it's Lanie's but that's not the point you can chill but be aware that I have work in the morning and your coming with me. So uh good night dude."
"Good Night… uh Javier."
Javier smiled and went in his room where he sighed and plopped down on his bed.
I have to be a better father then mine. He thought to himself .
Hey let me know what you guys think of Joel and Javi.
