Castle: Together Again

A romantic weekend turns into a murder weekend.

It's been 5 years since Beckett and Castle retired from NYPD. Beckett still keeps in contact with Ryan and Esposito, while Castle still writes his Nikki Heat novels. Castle bought a house just outside of the city a few years ago which is used mainly if they want a romantic weekend away. However, they both still live with Castle's. Alexis, Castle's daughter, is still at college now studying Law, after a conversation she, Beckett and Castle had one night last year.

It was now Friday 24th March at 4pm and the now husband and wife are going for a romantic weekend away to their house which they had been planning for many weeks now.

Castle, dressed in a white shirt with a black tie and trousers was having a conversation with his mum about his latest Nikki Heat book, when he heard Beckett shout him from the bedroom.

"Castle! Help me!" She shouted.

Castle walked into the bedroom.

"Help me zip this up please" Asked Beckett who was wearing a black skirt, shirt and boots that Castle was currently helping with.

"There we go. You look so beautiful" said Castle softly getting up off of his knees.

"You too" said Beckett quietly as they leaned to to ki-

"Richard! Richard!" shouted Martha, his mother.

"Yes mum?"

"Where are your Nikki Heat books? I want to show my friend tonight" said Martha.

""I'll show you" said Castle as he let out a sigh and Beckett let out a small laugh.

All three left the bedroom, lead by Castle, into the living room where he picked up a box from behind the TV and said "here you go mother, have fun with your 'man friend'" Castle said as he winked at her.

"Come on Castle, it's getting late, we need to go" Beckett explained.

Giving Martha a hug and a kiss on the cheek, Castle and Beckett left for their taxi.
