I saw a chemical about Castle coming to TNT, so I watched the marathon Wed and Thursday (thanksgiving-of all days). I never laughed so hard at a tv series, I was hooked. I know that I have a lot to catching up to do but I had an idea for a story so I started writing it. I almost finished it in one day (sat-11/24/12). Wow! who would have thought, I hope that my chapters are long enough, I never know. so here is chapter one,(that's all I've typed, and being Sunday it's NFL day-yes girls watch NFL too, no one interrupt that well except for Castle-winks) all comments are welcomed-good or bad. Tell me what you think. also if something is missed spelled or wrong content tell me, for English/lit was not my thing in school, but I love to write and blubber on I see, anyway here's my 1st story of Castle. I had a different title yesterday, but this one seems to fit it better.

Chapter 1:

Please read chapter by chapter

"Come on Alexis, We're going to be late." Martha yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"Coming Gramps, I forgot something."

"Then she raced back upstairs, and..." Martha sniffed. "That's the last thing that she said to me..." Martha again busted into tears. "That's all I remember..." she sobbed between words.

"I don't know what happened...I..." she placed her face in her hands continuing to cry. "I..."

"What about Castle?" A familiar voice asked. Beckett was called as soon as Martha could reach the phone.

"He's...he's gonna die." Martha was now crying harder then before. What was she going to do with him.

Castle stood in line at his favorite coffee shop he always went to every morning. "what is taking so long," he mumbled to himself standing at the counter. The cashier finally placed his two coffees down in front of him. "Finally," Grabbing his coffee he turned to see Ryan and Esposito, both who took the cups that he had put in his cup holder, something that he did every morning. Bringing Be coffee was his thing. He wanted to see her smile at him. That made his day worth getting up for. Made him feel...what warm and fuzzy inside. He shook the thought.

"Hey that's for Beckett and me."

"Not today bro," Esposito took a sip. "Not today." Castle sighed as he looked at another line growing, how was he going to get his coffee now.

"Where's Beckett anyway?" he asked looking around the coffee shop excepting her to be with the guys.

"All ready at the scene," Ryan commented drinking Castle's coffee. "Let's go."

"She told you I was here didn't she?"

"Um..." Esposito shook his head at Ryan not to tell Castle about his daughter yet, "Not here." he whispered. "I'm not leaving without my coffee." Castle went back up to the counter."Two more coffee's the same please."

"Hey, how does he get to skip line, he already got his coffee." someone in line shouted.

"NYPD." shouted Es waving his badge up high.

"Sorry, go ahead."

"That's more like it," Castle said, "When can I get my badge?"
Both Ryan and Esposito chuckled at that.

"Yeah right," Ryan was now laughing a little louder.

"What's so funny guys,"

"Just is bro, just is." Castle wasn't used to riding with just the guys. So he stared out the window watching the streets fly by. He noticed that Ryan was heading in the wrong direction, he was driving towards Castles apartment. Castle leaning forward in his seat, "Why are we going this way?"
That's when he saw all the cops cars with lights flashing in front of his building.

"No!" he scream and was out the door before Ryan could turn his head to tell him.

"Castle wait." Ryan shouted.

"To late Ry, he's probably already in the house."

Castle flew up the stairs for the 3rd floor and skidded to a holt when he saw Beckett sitting with his mother.

"Oh no...Where's..." Then he saw the look on his mother's face, he dropped his coffee going to his knees.

"No...not my...baby." he balled up in a fetal position. "no.!"
