Here an other chapter enjoy and tell me what you think.

I don't own Castle. Shame.

After the babies fall asleep Rick and Kate cuddled on the couch in front of a movie. After all it was Sunday afternoon.

"I was thinking about what you said at the supermarket." Said Kate to Rick.

"About what?"

"Having a baby. If we don't find family maybe we could..."

"Maybe we could what? Adopt them?"

"Yes. I know it's just have been a couple hours since we're looking after them but I have this feeling that I want to do everything I can to protect them."

"They make you feel like a mother. It's sweet!"

"It's not sweet! It's strange, it's the first time except with Alexis, that I'm feeling that."

"Usually women have nine months to be used to the idea of having a kid, but if you really want, then, we can adopt them."

"You sure you you want it?"

"Of course! Having a family with you is a thing I've always want because it would be with you."

"I'm gonna call Ryan see if we have an ID and if there are family who want to take them." She took her phone and dialed Ryan's number.

"Put the speaker on." Said Rick.

"Ryan!"

"It's Beckett."

"Hey Beckett! How are you doing with Castle?"

She looked at Rick. "We're fine. Found the ID of the victims?"

"Yep! Justin and Alice Sanders, he was twenty eight and she was twenty seven, they had triplets boys, Ethan, Caleb and Riley. Justin was a paramedic and Alice a nurse."

"Any family?"

"Alice's parents died in a car accident six months ago and her sister had leukemia she died five years ago."

"And Justin?"

"Orphan, he spend his childhood in foster care, no foster family."

"Ok. So no family, it's mean that the boys will go in foster care."

"It's sad. Esposito and I are gonna talk to the colleagues at the hospital."

"Call me when you have something."

"No problem." Kate hung up.

She looked at Rick.

"I know how it works. They will be sent in different foster family if they are lucky."

"But it's not gonna happen because we will adopt them."

"Tomorrow when I'll call Child Service I'll ask if we can keep them."

Suddenly, they heard crying. Kate rushed to the bedroom where they put the babies, a moment later Rick followed. When he arrived Rick saw Kate rocking Owen and humming a song to him. He leaned against the door frame and stayed quiet.

"You are adorable."

"You think?"

"Absolutely." Kate looked at her watch.

"It's 1:08 pm, we should have lunch."

"I'll cook it, you have something to do like change their diapers." Rick ran in the kitchen leaving Kate alone with three diapers to change.

"So you are Justin coworker? Daniel Baker, is that right?" Said Ryan.

"Yes. Justin and I have been working together for two years now."

"Did he have enemies?" Asked Esposito.

"I wouldn't say he had enemies but he and Alice were helping the younger in their district you know? Help them to back to school have a diploma, a job, but some of the families or friends weren't really agreed. They were good people, it's too bad they are dead."

"Recently, did he acted strangely or was having problems?"

"He was helping a teenage boy, Kyle Hunt but his brother Damian was reluctant because he is part of a gang and Kyle was about to become a member. They argued yesterday during the lunch pause at about 11:30."

"Thank you for your help."

"What about the boys?"

"They are safe with one of our detective."

After they talked to Daniel, Esposito dialed Kate's number.

"Beckett!"

"Yo! We talked to Justin colleague, he said that the Sanders were helping the young people in their district. Justin had an issue with someone name Damian Hunt. Doesn't ring a bell?"

"Wait! Damian Hunt! I hate that when gangs are involve in homicide cases."

"Yeah me too. They are bringing him at the precinct. How are you doing?"

"It's Ok. Castle is cooking. Who do you think, beside Hunt, could have killed the Sanders?"

"No idea. But let's see what Hunt have to say."

"Call me."

"Sure."

Kate put her phone back in her pocket and took Lucas in her arms.

"Come on little man. Let's put you in your bed. Rick and I have to eat but I promise once we finish we will play together."

In response, Lucas squealed.

Ryan and Esposito were in the interrogation room with Damian.

"We know Damian." Said Ryan.

"You know what? That I'm a dealer, it's not a news."

"We know you killed Alice and Justin." Said Esposito.

"Who?"

"The person who were helping your brother." Ryan leaned against the wall.

"Kyle wanted to become like me. But this guy came and ruined it. Kyle is no longer telling his friends to buy drugs, he even help them to stop."

"So you killed him."

"No! I never killed I swear. We have a word it's all. Listen, we was acting strange. A few hours after we argued he came to me and ask if I could selling him a gun. I did, Kyle was with me."

Ryan and Esposito were back at their desks.

"Beckett won't be happy, the kid confirms what Hunt said."

"I think we better not disturbing her while she is taking care of kids." Said Esposito.

Ryan nodded.

Kate and Rick dropped themselves on the couch. They were exhausted. It was 11 p.m. The boys have just fall asleep. And they hadn't been called by Ryan nor Esposito.

"We should go to bed."

"Good idea."

They headed to Rick's room.

When Rick woke up the next morning he was alone in the bed. The sheets were cold. He went downstairs and found Kate on the phone.

"Thank you." She hang up and looked at Rick. "It was Child Services, we have the custody of the triplets until they examine the adoption application."

"When did you wake up?"

"An hour ago. What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing just imagining you driving the boys to soccer practice. You will be wonderful in this role."

"No soccer, they will play baseball."

"They will play both or they will choose."
