Sat down tonight and decided I wanted to write something and while I normally only write for my normal fandom, tonights episode was fresh in my mind and I ended up writing about Castle.
My first Castle story so its probably not that good.
Just a kind of fluff/thoughtful drabble thing about the thoughts of Kate Beckett. (Or rather what I wish she was thinking about haha!)
No I don't own Castle. I could never come up with something so amazing!
Long after she had bid goodnight to Castle, Detective Kate Beckett lay in bed, her thoughts constantly drifting back to Agent Jordan Shaw and the shocking revelation that Shaw was a mother and an FBI agent as well. Earlier that day, Kate's curiosity got the best of her and she couldn't help but ask how Shaw managed to handle it all. It was clear that Shaw didn't like having to miss a few birthdays but by the smile on her face, Kate could tell that she didn't regret any of it.
Ever since her mother was murdered and Kate decided what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, she always thought that it always had to be career or a family. It just seemed so simple to her at the time. If she devoted herself to settling down and having a family she would have to give up looking for her mom's killer. So of course she chose to focus on her career and bring her mother's killer to justice.
But now, seeing Agent Shaw, it was making Kate doubt those beliefs. Could she possibly be able to avenge her mother and still have a family of her own?
Kate turned over trying to rid herself of her thoughts and get some sleep; after all she didn't get much sleep the previous night, what with almost being blown up and all. But sleep refused to come to her and she was stuck with her thoughts for a while longer.
Doing what she does best, she looked at the situation from all sides, drawing up a mental list of pros and cons. And before long her thoughts were drifting to the writer sleeping just a few rooms down. What would it be like to be with Castle all the time? It gave her a headache just thinking about how annoying he would be, but she couldn't help but smile.
Shocked that she had actually just thought that, Kate firmly closed her eyes and turned over one more time, determined to get to sleep this time. Thankfully for her sanity, she fell asleep moments later.
Kate woke up to the sun shining right into her eyes, she turned over wondering why the sun was shining through even though she had special black out curtains to keep that from happening. It took a few more minutes before she was awake enough to remember that she wasn't at her apartment and that her favorite curtains were mere piles of ash now.
Going down stairs, she noticed that no one else seemed to be awake so she set about making breakfast. After all it was the least she could do since she would be staying there for however long it took to get things straightened out so she could get a new apartment.
Skillet in one hand, spatula in the other stirring the eggs around, Kate couldn't help but wonder if this was what it would be like if she decided to give in and go out with Castle. Maybe she had hit her head harder than she thought in the explosion? Because there was no other explanation to why she was getting so sentimental and thinking about a family of her own.
Her thoughts continued like that while she finished making their breakfast until Martha came in the front door. At Martha's shocked look, Kate hurriedly tried to explain but Martha just brushed her off saying it was "Fine". A few minutes after that, Castle sleepily made his way into the kitchen.
As Kate watched every one interact and, occasionally interacting herself, she couldn't stop herself from smiling and thinking that maybe a family with Castle wouldn't be so bad.
