"Beckett." the detective said into the phone, and leaned back in her chair. Only being able to hear half of the conversation, the people in the 12th were confused as to who she was talking to.
"..Yeah, that's fine." she bit her lip, as she wrote something down on a piece of paper.
"..Alright, thanks." she hung up her phone, a smile on her face.
Putting the paper she had written on in her pocket, she walked over to the Captain office. Luckily, they had gotten a new captain, and they didn't have Gates. The new captain was a blonde, and went by Mises, and she was very understanding. She was like, a female version of Montgomery, which was great for Detective Beckett, considering who she had just gotten off the phone with.
After she had talked to the captain, she grabbed her jacket and looked over at her partners, Detective Ryan and Detective Esposito. "Espo, Ryan. I'm gonna be gone for the rest of the day, call me if we get a body." she told them, walking over to the elevator before they could question where she was going.
About fifteen minutes later, she was back at the apartment where she was living. And she wasn't living alone. She was living with her husband, also known as the famous author, Richard Castle.
"Hey, Castle, you need to stop writing." She called as she walked into his office, as she called it, even though it was more of a study. "I got the call at the precinct. That's why I'm back. I told her we'd meet her in about" she checked the time on her phone. "Twenty minutes. So, we gotta go."
Castle smiled at her, closing his laptop. "Are you ready for this?" he asked her, putting his arm around her waist, and lead her out of the study.
"Absolutely. What about you?" She asked him, grabbing his jacket off the coat rack, and tossing it to him.
"you bet I am." he said with a smirk as he put on his brown jacket.
They walked out of the apartment building, and into a cab. After giving the cabbie the directions, they sat back, and watched the city pass by them.
After about a fifteen minute ride, they paid the cab fare and got out of the cab. Kate took a deep breath, taking her husbands hand.
"Nervous?" he asked her.
"Just a tad." she admitted to him. He smiled at her, and walked into the red brick building. Walking up a spiral staircase, and down a short hallway, they were at the door they needed to be at.
He knocked on the half open door, and took a step in.
"Oh! Mr. Castle! Your here, and just in time." a blonde said from behind the desk inside the room. She walked out and leaned on the front of her desk, and Beckett walked inside the room.
"Are you guys ready to meet them?" the blonde asked the couple.
Beckett grabbed Castle's hand and smiled.
"Yes, Kiana, we're ready."
"Alright then. I'll be back in a bit." Kiana (The blonde) walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"This is it." Beckett said, butterflies flying around her stomach.
"I know it is." Castle responded, kissing his wife's forhead.
"I love you, you know that right?" Beckett said, looking up into his blue eyes.
"Well, I do know." Castle joked, kissing Beckett softly. Shaking her head, she walked over to a red chair and sat down, bouncing her knee out of nerves.
After about two minutes, but seemed like forever, they heard a knock on the door. Kate stood up, and walked over next to her husband, taking a gasp when she saw Kiana walk in with two brunette girls. Their hair was in loose curls over their shoulders. They didn't look curled, it looked more natural, but it could have just been done to look that way. One was in a light blue sun dress with white shoes, the other in a hot pink dress, with the same shoes.
"Detective Beckett, Mr. Castle. This is Torri Jayde and Johanna Marie." Kiana said, standing up straight. Beckett put her hand over her mouth, and leaned into Castle's chest.
"They're perfect." she whispered. "How old are they?" She asked Kiana, straightning herself.
"They're 18 months old. " Kiana said with a smile. "If you come over here, we can get the paper work done, and you can take them on home?"
Castle and Beckett nodded, and walked over to the desk, and sat in the two chairs across from where Kiana would sit. Kiana set the two girls down on a couch next to the wall, and walked over to her chair, pulling the papers out from her desk.
"Alright, now just sign here" Kiana pointed to a line on the bottom of the page "and we'll be done, and they'll be yours" Beckett looked up at Castle, a smile on her face, before she signed "Kate Beckett" on the last line, and slide the paper over, so that her husband could sign as well. After he had signed, he had slide the paper back over to the blonde sitting across from him.
"Congratulations, guys. You are now parents to Torri Jayde, and Johanna Marie! Oh, but you might want to know that before their parents were killed in that subway crash a few weeks ago, they were referred to as TJ and Jo. At least that's what the daycare worker told us." Kiana said, as Kate and Rick walked over to the couch, and picked up the girls, who were now sleeping.
Being extra careful as they walked down the steps, they walked to the closet, Kiana following them. When they got to the door, they turned around to face Kiana.
"Thank you so much." Kate said, smiling.
"It's not a problem, so long as these two grow up in a stable environment." Kiana said, running her hand through Torri's hair.
"It really means a lot." Castle said. Kiana smiled and nodded.
"Well, I have a lot of work to do, I'll check in on you guys in about a week." she said, and then turned around on her heel, and walked back up the stairs.
"Hey, we're by the precinct, we should go tell them about these two beautiful girls." Kate said, as Johanna began to stir in her arms.
Castle nodded. "Looks like she's waking up." he said, gesturing with his elbow. Kate smiled, and began walking down the street. They passed about four buildings before they got to the precinct. Walking inside to the elevator, Kate couldn't stop smiling, she had just adopted beautiful twin girls. One who was named Johanna, just like her mother.
When the elevator stopped, they walked out and over to where Ryan and Espositio sat doing anything but work.
"Ryan! Espo!" Castle said, as TJ sat sleepily up in his arms.
"Hey.. Castle.. Beckett." Esposito said, a confused tone in his voice.
"I don't wanna sound rude or anything, but why do you two have.." he trailed off, gesturing to the girls.
"That's why I left earlier. We decided to adopt these two." Beckett said, smiling down at Johanna.
"That's great, Becks! Castle." Ryan said with a smile.
Beckett smiled at Castle, moving Johanna from her left hip to her right. Her life really couldn't get any better than it was right now. She had a great job, a great husband, and now, she had two beautiful daughters.
Authors Note:
So, I have no idea how the adoption process works, so, if it's wrong, PLEASE let me know. This is just a random idea that popped in my head. I wrote it in about two hours on tumblr, and then decided to post it here. It isn't my best work.
I don't know if I want to continue this or not.. I mean, I'm working on "Are You Sure" still.. Maybe I'll take a hiatus from that, (seeing as I don't know what to write next now that I changed the outline in chapter three. That probably wasn't the best idea.) and work on this story? You guys let me know if you want to see more of little TJ and little Jo?
