"Good morning, Mama Bear," Ryan said with a smile as Beckett entered the precinct.
"What did you call me," Beckett asked.
"Well it is your first mother's day isn't it," asked Esposito.
Beckett smiled and nodded, "Yeah, yeah I guess so."
"So is your husband spoiling you like crazy yet," Ryan asked.
"A little bit," Beckett replied. "Castle surprised me with a bouquet of roses, Alexis got me this lovely charm bracelet with all of our birthstones, and then to top it off the two of them made Martha and I breakfast. We didn't even have to help with the set up or the clean up."
"Sounds like a great morning," said Ryan.
"And what about you, are you and Sara Grace spoiling Jenny?" Beckett asked.
"That we are," Ryan replied with the widest smile on his face, "We surprised her with breakfast in bed. I gave her this lovely charm bracelet and Sara Grace gave her a plaster with her hand and footprints on it."
"Speaking of Castle," said Espo, "Where is that husband of yours?
"I'm not entirely sure," said Beckett, "He just said that he would meet me here later," Beckett said as she took a seat at her desk.
Something was off.
She noticed that her desk drawer on her left was opened. She had remembered it being closed last night. Inside where it was clearly visible was a wooden jewelry box. She brought it up to her desk and opened it. The first picture she saw on the underside was a photo of just her and Alexis at the wedding.
There were plenty of drawers for the jewelry Castle had given her over the years as well as the bracelet that Alexis had given her earlier.
At the center inside the deep box was an envelope. Beckett opened it to reveal a weekend spa treatment for just her and Alexis so they could, as Castle wrote in the note, "Spend quality mother and daughter time".
Castle smiled as he walked into the precinct and saw Beckett looking at the gift she had discovered in her desk drawer.
Beckett looked up at him. "You planted this here last night, didn't you?"
Castle shrugged as he took his seat, "I may have made a circle to your desk while you made a stop to the ladies room before we left."
Beckett reached for his cheek, "Thank you."
