Chapter 1:

It was a regular day at the office. Kate was sitting at her desk starting to deal with her paperwork. She loved her job but, the thought of the paperwork made her nauseous. She got up to get a cup of coffee, at least this would make it more fun. She went to the coffee machine and started making herself a latte. She loved the smoothness of it, plus it broke the routine of her regular coffee. She then went back to her desk, took a deep breath, and went at it.

The clock read 8:30, she thought it was weird that Castle hadn't arrived yet, but he was here on his own interest so he more or less had a schedule, unless of course, that he got Beckett's call in the middle of the night. She was finishing her first report when she saw a nice Grande coffee show up in front of her. Castle had arrived with her coffee and her bear claw.

"Hey Castle, thanks I really needed this" She told him with a grateful smile

"Why, you are welcome detective Beckett." He said, glad that he made her happy.

"So what are you up to?"

"Just finishing the report from our last case" she said with a fed up expression.

Castle knew that Beckett was more of the action girl and not the type to make reports. Beckett likes it when she has to pick her brain, when things don't make sense. She likes the intrigue of each homicide, she also likes having Castle around, because of his, 'out of this world' ideas, which sometimes work out. She loves how he thinks outside the box, its proven to be very helpful for the past 3 yrs.

"Anything I can do to help you Beckett?"

"No, I'm almost done." She was very concentrated

He could sense that she wanted to get this over with, he didn't want to bother her. He got up and went to Ryan's desk

"Hey Ryan, how are the wedding plans coming along?"

"Ugh...don't talk to me about that, Jenny is going crazy, picking the right flowers, the right color to match the flowers, the chairs, the-"

"Oh yeah, I hear ya! Don't worry it's well worth it in the end"

"Yeah?"

"No actually, and I can't believe I did it twice" Castle said going back to memory lane not noticing that it was freaking Ryan out even more. Castle then looked up at Ryan who had a petrified look on his face.

"Uh-no Ryan I'm just kidding man! It was great!" He tried to calm him down, which didn't work at all

"Ah great I'll have to deal with this for the rest of my life" Ryan said as he turned around and headed for the coffee machine mumbling things to himself. He was obviously anxious about it all.

"Good job Castle!" said Beckett, walking past him. She did have a smirk on her face. She knew that Ryan was completely freaking out over silly details.

"Hey Ryan, don't let it get to you, she just wants everything to be perfect. She loves you and just wait until it passes, it'll be all worth it in the end." Beckett was trying to reassure Ryan, which seemed to help.

"Just tell yourself that she's been planning this since she was 10, she's been waiting for her prince charming, you're him. Now just try and control your stress and it'll calm her down too" Beckett gave him a tap on the shoulder to let him know it would be fine and walked back to her desk. Kate Beckett was a 'hard-ass' sometimes but she was also an understanding woman, who always found the right words to comfort the people around her.

"Wow Beckett, that did the trick" Castle was somewhat impressed by the effect it had had on Ryan. She smiled at him and got back to work.

"So you've been planning your wedding since you were 10." Castle asked with a hint of a smile, not knowing that Beckett had had planned hers for so long.

Beckett rolled her eyes, she knew where this was going.

"No, Castle I haven't been planning my wedding since I was 10. But, I had friends that did, come to think of it I never even thought about planning my wedding" She then got back to what she was doing, knowing to well that other interrogation questions would follow.

"You mean to tell me that you NEVER even thought about getting married?" Castle found it weird since he had been married twice, had a daughter and a mother at home so, he knew how important marriage was to woman.

"I'm not saying that I never thought about it, but I never planned it. I always thought that a wedding should be planned with my future husband. Something we'd both want, that way it makes it even more special." She said these words and Castle was in awe. In all the women he knew, she was the only one that had included the man. He thought that it was a great idea, he himself would have liked to be a bigger part of his previous marriages

After about 30 minutes later Castle had finished his coffee, and was still doodling on a piece of paper when Beckett's phone rang

"Beckett, ok, got it"

Castle was eager for a case, he was getting bored with his doodle

"Ryan, Esposito, we got a new one" She then looked at Castle who was already on his feet and ready to go. She smiled grabbed her coat and they were off.
