Family Values

"Rick, Martha called. Saying something about wishing to visit Reece for a few hours before heading for the dance studio." Beckett replied from the kitchen counter. While Castle was coming out of his office after writing a few hours.

"When will she be arriving Kate. I have a meeting with Gina and Black Pawn Publishing with-in the hour?" He purred with trepidation having to be busy all of a sudden the past few weeks.

"That's fine. Since your going to be here any way with today being your day off. And no doubt Reece will just love it having his mother and my mother around to spoil him just rotten to the core." He says explicit with his charming comments.

His wife was able to smile. Even though knowing full well that her husband lately has been burning the candles on both ends. In order to keep up with the supply and demand of his public.

It would seem that even Castle was beginning to feel the pressure once again from Gina Cowell. Despite his duties of being a dad to Reece and with the up and coming Twins. Only to add further burden to his duties with his P.I. business, his own writings, consulting for the 12th Precinct and being a full time father once more.

And it was very appropriate for Castle to make light of the situation for now. Since he needed to leave right now. Even though he will miss with seeing his mother and her righteous antics at times. He wasn't in the mood for it at this time of the morning.

"Rick, I will be sure to give your regards to your mother. No doubt she's able to understand just how busy you are lately." She says with a some what bias nature with the statement.

"Ok. Thanks Kate. I will call you later and check on you and Reece."

"Just go will you, Rick before your late and Gina starts sending in the dogs after you." She chuckles trying to make light of the situation for now.

"Jeez. I'm going already. And if I didn't know any better. I would think my wife has some hot date coming over in order to replace me in the bed-room." He joked.

"Fat-chance!; Now go before I start tying you to the chair. In order for you to see your mother." She wasn't kidding for when it comes to her antics for when it mostly important to the family and those around him.

Walking over to the closet near the entrance of the loft door. Castle takes out his black jacket for the colder weather. Checking for his keys on the wall taking the Mercedes located inside of the under ground garage for now.

He needed now to hurry or else, he will be really late for the meeting. While waving his hand a quick good-bye, he was out the door and on his way.

And for this particular moment. Kate Beckett took in a deep sigh of breath before deciding to start laughing.

Afterwards she decided to make something quick for breakfast. Since it was mainly her day off after requesting it a week ago from Inspector Victoria Gates. No doubt either it was Gates or Captain Anderson would be in charge of the day shift. With Detectives Javi Esposito and Kevin Ryan running the show for any type of murder investigation.

Meanwhile at the 12th Precinct

Detective Kevin Ryan having just arrived at his computer terminal. He was stressing to his partner. Sitting across from him after coming from the break-room with his coffee. After a quiet night at home.

But for Ryan. He was stressing with having to work last night at the club for a few hours as a bouncer. In order to protect anyway walking into the stripper club in order to bother the ladies. Since it was basically a busy evening with the patrons, and the added incentive of giving out a free drink for those coming in early.

He was mortified as to why he's tired now. In order to make the extra money to help out his family in the long term. With Sarah Grace and Nicholas to feed. Including any educational values for when they are much older for their future.

Ryan needed the coffee as well after last night. But first he'd to call his wife Jenny to make sure she was fine with any type of invocation on her part. When he'd left earlier. She was still sound asleep in bed after taking care of Sarah Grace and Nicholas. Who needed extra attention.

Shaking his head in quiet gesture. Thanks to his partner bringing over the coffee to keep himself awake with the huge case load. And on top of everything else. It was Captain Kate Beckett's day off. It was Inspector Victoria Iron Gates taking over for today.

And knowing Gates. She will probably be keeping every one in the bull-pen on their toes. Not making Ryan all to happy. Nor anyone else for that fact.
