AN: Hello guys! Well, this is my new story. It's just a bit of the adventures of Caskett. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: For the greater good, I don't own Castle.


"Good job Detective" said Captain Gates.

"Thank you, sir" Beckett answers half-heartedly. It had been an extremely difficult case that involved the murder of two children by their step-father and it had taken its toll on everyone.

"Ready to go?" Castle says as she walks back to her desk.

"More than ready" she answers as she collects her stuff.

Back at the loft, Beckett goes straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Castle figures she's probably hungry so he starts making dinner.

After getting out of the shower she puts some comfortable clothes on and as soon as she walks into the living room, she smells something delicious.

"Mmm, Castle... What are we having?" She says as she goes to hug him.

"Some pasta. Are you hungry?"

"Very"

She sets the table while he finishes the pasta and the sit down to eat.

"So, are you still procrastinating on starting your new book?" She asks between bites.

"When have you known me not to?" He smirks.

"You have got to stop doing that! What will you teach our kids?" she teases him.

He almost chokes on his bite. He had never heard her talk about having children so openly. "Kids? As in more than one?"

"We'll start with one, don't worry" she says with a playful smile.

The next day, they get a call about a body drop at 7 am, so they get ready and head out to the address they're given.

The crime scene is a filthy-looking alley behind a building, an all too familiar setting. They're met by Esposito.

"Umm, Beckett..." He starts doubtfully "I'm not sure you should be taking this one..."

"Why not?" She says walking into the scene. As soon as she sees the body, it dawns on her, and the expression on her face changes from professional to utter horror.


AN: So? What did you think? I know it was short, but hopefully, chapters will get longer.

I'm planning for this to be my first multi-chapter story, and I already have an idea of where I want this to go, but if you have any ideas or any constructive critisism, they're wlecome.
