Family Politics
She's just drifting off when he says in a conversational tone, "So how do you think you get in to politics? Move up the chain at the department then move into city politics, or just go straight to the state level and move up from there?...ooh maybe there's going to be some big high profile case that puts you in the spotlight!..."
"Castle," she growls with her eyes still closed, "It's all bogus, the guy is a nut bar."
"You don't know that…."
"Oh but I do… he's certifiable…and in fact has been certified. Now let me sleep."
He's quiet for nearly thirty seconds before he starts back in.
"You didn't want to know what we named the kids?"
"I am not having this conversation right now."
"What conversation?"
"The 'should we have children' conversation."
"No conversation to be had…I mean we obviously do. Three… funny, that's more than I anticipated…"
"She rolls over and grabs him by the ear. "If you think you want any… and I mean in the sense of_remain capable of fathering any_you'll be dropping this topic right now."
"Owwwwww" He twists in her grip like a seven year old, "Okay…okay… Apples…okay"
She releases him, and settles her head back on the pillow, but he just can't shut up.
"Do you think he was including Alexis in the three…cause I mean technically…"
She groans and slaps him on the chest, "Castle give it up."
"Are you not curious about this stuff at all?"
"Castle, it's just ridiculous anyways… I'm nearly thirty four… there's hardly enough time to be having three kids…and be a senator?" she practically snorts in disbelief, "Come on!"
He nods agreeably, "I know, right…we need to get started!"
