This fic takes place in the future the events of Veritas accrued (so if you haven't seen I yet there will be spoilers). Castle and Beckett are married but the season finale is not part of this the wedding will be mentioned but it will be the way I image their wedding. Everything else is as is on the show.
Disclaimer: Me own Castle yeah right! If I did Nathan, Stana and I would be bffs and there would so be a Caskett baby on the way. Andrew Marlow is the lucky owner of Castle, lucky bastard lol. How ever I do own all 5 seasons of Castle on DVD, all 5 Nikki Heat books, a calendar and a t-shirt!
Chapter 1: Too Good to be True
It was a warm summer day in New York, Castle sat at a picnic table in Central Park with his lap top he had a few chapters due and Gina was nagging him about it again so instead of being stuck in his office he came out to the park to work even though part of him wasn't there it was at the 12th with his wife. Kate Beckett was now his wife he smiled down at the gold band on his hand glistening in the sun. Their wedding had been perfect.
They got married in the back yard of their Hamptons home it was small but perfect. Both Javi and Kevin were his best man because he just couldn't choose just one of them. Lanie was maid of honor while Alexis, Jenny and Kate's high school friend Madison were bridesmaids. Only their closest friends and family were in attendance even Jordan Shaw flew in to attend their wedding and Captain Montgomery's wife and kids attended a seat beside Evelyn remained empty in Roy's memory. A chair next to Jim remained empty in Johanna's memory and one last chair remained empty in Mike Royce's memory. Plus much to Castle's surprise he learned is father had been there hidden from sight watching his only son marry the woman of his dreams.
Kate had never looked more beautiful than she did that day walking toward him on her father's arm and he had to admit he did look rather good too in his suit a white rose pinned to his lapel. After the ceremony they danced in each other's arms as "In My Veins" played it really had been the prefect day.
The noise of children playing pulled Castle from his thoughts. A mother was running after her young son he smiled watching them only he knew that would be Kate soon. On their wedding nigh Kate told him she'd stopped taking the pill that with Bracken behind bars they could start a family and somewhere between that night and their honeymoon they did just that they started their family. Kate found out a few days ago she was pregnant she was only in the first trimester so they hadn't told anyone yet.
Two months ago he didn't know if there'd even be a wedding let along a baby. Vulcan Simmons was murdered with Kate's weapon and the whole NYPD was after her except for three Esposito, Ryan and Gates. They all knew she was being framed they all put their necks on the line to help her. Kate told him it wasn't safe that she should run alone but he refused to leave her he took her to a hotel where she planned to dye her hair while he got them a car but when he returned his heart sank she was laying in the hallway in a heap blood pouring from her head he though he'd lost her he let out a sigh of relief when she moved. He scooped her up got in the car and started for Canada but they ended up back in New York finding the evidence they needed to take down Bracken sitting on Beckett's desk all theses years a tape hidden in the elephants.
Kate was cleared and her and her team went to Bracken's press conference where Kate finally got justice she cuffed her mother's killer it was finally over her mother could finally rest in peace and Kate could finally have the life she deserved as his wife and mother to Alexis and their baby. He even decided there would be a wedding in Nikki and Rook's future and maybe even a baby.
The ringing of his cell phone pulled him from his thoughts he frowned when Gates face appeared on the screen was it Kate had something happened. He started to get worried "Castle" he answered
"Rick" she started "You need to get down to the precinct something's happened"
Castle started to panic now Gates never called him by his first name it was always Mr. Castle "Sir i..is it Kate is she okay" he asked
"I can't say anything over the phone but something did happen" she pauses "It's not good she needs you Rick"she says her voice softer then he'd ever heard it.
"Uh okay I'm on my way" he was really panicking "and sir can you take care of her until I get there" he asked
"Detectives Esposito, Ryan and I are with her and we will stay with her" Gates promised
Thank you sir" he replied closing up his lap top.
"No thanks needed we're a family it's my job just get here fast and be careful" she told him hanging up.
Castle grabbed his laptop and ran from the park to the busy street hailing a cab "the 12 precinct and hurry" he told the driver as all the worst scenarios played in his mind. He couldn't lose Kate or his unborn child not now, not when everything was finally right, finally the way it was meant to be.
Chapter 2: Its Not The End…What happened at the precinct, is Kate okay?
