Hello! So yes this is another story but I have not abandoned Baby Bliss I'm still working on that, this just kinda came into my head and wouldn't leave me alone. This is only my second story so I'm still unsure of my writing so I hope you enjoy. So this is AU and because of that I have Kate at about 25 and Rick at 27, I know that's not the actual age gap but hey its AU…

Yeah I'm not Marlowe…


Kate was curled up in the corner of the couch reading her favourite book, In a Hail of Bullets. She had read it a million times but every time she read it it was like the first time. She only wished she could have had the chance to thank her mother for getting her into Richard Castle novels. If only. She was brought out of her thoughts by the thumping of feet coming down the hall. She smiled to herself; how that boy was so loud when he ran she would never know.

"Mommy mommy mommy!" Tyler called as he came running into the living room heading straight for his mother on the couch.

Kate managed to catch Tyler as he leapt into her lap erupting in a fit of giggles, Kate smiled at her little boy, "Hey baby, what has you so excited?" she continued to smile down at her giggling son.

"Can we go to the park mommy? Pretty pleeeeease?" He asked giving his mom his best puppy dog look.

Kate regarded her son with a serious look before a smile broke out on her face, she ruffled his long brown hair as she spoke, "Oh I guess we could spend the day at the park, but you gotta change clothes before we go, kay?"

Tyler's face lit up, "Kay!" He pressed a kiss to his mother's cheek and jumped off her lap running towards his bedroom to change. Kate shook her head and smiled before marking her page in her book and heading to her room to change as well.


"Daddyyyy" Alexis whined to her father.

"Almost done pumpkin, just one second," Rick Castle told his daughter as he finished typing up his latest chapter. Rick had had a serious case of writers block and was suddenly hit with some inspiration the night before and had been writing since. "Okay. Done." He announced as he typed the last word, he patted his palms on his knees as he turned to his five year old.

Alexis smiled up at her father and climbed into his lap, "What would you like to do today pumpkin? Anything you want, we can do," he said with a smile.

She thought for a second before jumping up, "I wanna go to the park!" she smiled again.

"The park? Anything you want and you want to go to the park?" he raised one eyebrow but she just nodded in response, "Okay sweetie, to the park we shall go." He said as he lifted his daughter into the air and carried her to the door.

"Daddy! Put me down!" she giggled to her father who just continued to carry her out the door, towards their day at the park, unknowing of what was to come.
