"Sweetie I think it's a little unfair," Beckett said with a smile. "You're dancing a little too fast for her."

"I know but I can't slow down," Julia said with a sigh as she had been trying to dance a Jive with her little sister. They were about to leave The Studebaker after their dinner, but Eliza couldn't keep up. "Sorry," she told her.

"That's kay… can I dance like that later?" the little girl asked.

"When you learn more," Castle told her. "We can go."

"I want to," Eliza said. When her parents both looked at her she smiled and said, "To see the doggies."

"Alright, let's get back then," Beckett said, taking the little girl's hand. She walked ahead of her husband and Julia to their car. She let him drive them home but as they pulled into their garage she told him, "You need to let me drive next time."

"It's not like you're going to forget," Castle replied. "I'll let you drive but we're not to that point yet."

Beckett didn't say anything but got out of the car at the same time he did before they went together to the back to get their daughters out. Inside the house she watched the dogs greeting the two and then said, "We should get them changed."

"Agreed," Castle replied before he went to pick Eliza up while she took Julia by the hand. They made their way upstairs to their rooms where he changed the little girl while his wife was in their oldest's room.

"What're you doing sweetie?" Beckett asked when Julia took a detour from leaving the room to her desk.

"Getting my diary ready," the girl said with a smile. "I really want to write in it."

"I don't blame you, there was a lot today," Beckett said before her daughter came back to her and then took her hand.

"What are we gonna do now?" Julia asked.

"We have some cartoons," Castle said, walking up to them, holding Eliza.

"Okay," Beckett said as she could see the little girl was tired. They'd gotten to the restaurant late and had eaten a little later than they usually did so they'd come home later too. She knew Eliza would fall asleep while they watched but didn't say anything while they made their way downstairs.

"Do you want anything to drink love?" Castle asked his wife.

"Just some tea," Beckett said as she took their youngest from him and set her on her lap as she was sitting on the couch. When he left; after telling her to start watching; she instead cuddled Eliza close to her and said, "You'll have a lot of rest for school tomorrow."

"How come she's so tired?" Julia asked while her little sister was yawning.

Beckett smiled and said, "I think you two running around the dog park, then the playground and then the backyard. And of course in here with the dogs."

"It was fun," Julia said with a smile. She glanced at her mother's abdomen and asked, "Is it weird to carry a baby?"

"The first time it was a little bit but when I felt your sister move for the first time it made more sense," Beckett replied.

"Is she kicking now?" Julia asked.

"No, do you two want to watch the cartoons?" Beckett said. When her oldest shook her head, she was startled and then looked at Eliza, seeing she was out.

"You-" Castle started to say when he entered the room. When Julia shushed him, he glanced at the little girl and saw she was fast asleep. He smiled and said, "I'll take this up to our room in a little bit."

"Are you going to take her to bed?" Julia whispered. When both her parents nodded she reached over and squeezed her sister's shoulder gently, whispering that she loved her. She watched them leave, turning her attention to Macca and JoJo who'd stayed while Rita and Rosie went after them upstairs. She leaned back before Macca put his front paws on the couch next to her and she said, "I can't let you come up here, Mommy and Daddy are gonna come here." She then gasped and said, "Maybe we can watch Mystery Science Theater!" With that idea in her mind she waited eagerly for her parents, hearing them soon coming down the stairs and standing up as soon as she did. "Can we watch MST3K?" she asked the second they appeared in the doorway.

Since her husband was looking at her Beckett checked the time and said, "We won't be able to finish it, but we can start it… watch about an hour of it."

"Which episode?" Castle asked her.

"Which one didn't you and Mommy see yet?" Julia asked eagerly. She followed him to their movies and watched him looking at the sets of the show before he held out one to her. "Werewolf?" she asked.

"Yep and we've seen all the episodes already," Castle replied.

"We need to see the movies before we can let you sweetie," Beckett said. "And you'll like this one I think."

"I liked the ones I got to see before," Julia said, going to the couch as her father was putting the movie in their player. "Hey Mommy."

"Yes?" Beckett asked as she leaned against her.

"I'm gonna be eleven really soon, can't I watch more episodes?" Julia asked.

"We'll see," Beckett replied as Castle was coming back to them. She wrapped her arm firmly around Julia while the opening of the show started, and she and her husband watched her when they got to the point where the movie was.

Wrinkling her nose after a 'werewolf' appeared Julia glanced at her parents and saw they were watching her. "It looks like a bear," she said.

"It does," Castle said quickly before they turned their attention to the movie again.

When the scene went to a laboratory eventually Julia burst out laughing at the sound of a champagne bottle being opened that sounded like a horn. "Sorry," she said as her father paused it as she couldn't stop. "It sounded like a car!" she told her parents.

"It did," Castle said as Beckett laughed slightly herself. "But there's something coming up you might like. Keep going?" When she nodded rapidly he played and they watched as a security guard was turned into a werewolf before crashing his car and there it cut to where there would have been a commercial if it had been broadcast.

"That was stupid, if he had paws he can't drive," Julia said.

"Werewolves have claws so…" Castle began before he trailed off as he saw his wife was looking at him. Luckily the next segment began, and he could turn his attention to Julia as the three from the show were beginning to sing a fifties girl group song to go with the movie.

Julia had to eventually cover her mouth with her hands as she was laughing hard at the song. She also was laughing as the two robots were dressed in poodle skirts and wigs as well as the host; Mike. When it finished she said to her parents who stopped the episode before it went back to the movie, "That was weird… but the song was good."

"We watched some interviews they did about the show," Beckett said as she and Castle got up. "And they said they liked to have Mike dress as a girl a lot; they showed this clip during that."

"Why would they make him do that?" Julia said in confusion as she let her mother take her hand.

"They joked that he looked so ugly as a woman that it was funny," Castle said.

"Is that mean?" Julia asked.

"A little but he said the same thing too," Beckett replied. They reached her room soon after and she said, "Do you still want to write in your diary?"

"Yeah," Julia said quickly.

"Go ahead, your daddy and I are going to get the tea mugs cleaned downstairs," Beckett told her.

"Thanks," Julia said. She watched her parents leave before she turned her attention to the dogs while they jumped onto the end of her bed. She smiled and went to her desk, taking out her diary and preparing her pen before she paused as she looked at the blank page she was on. Glancing down at the drawer where the book her mother had given her was she took a deep breath and then started to write, beginning with the date.

January 19th, 2020

A lot of stuff happened today, I just hope that I have time to write about it all!

Okay, so first I went with Mommy, Daddy and Lizzy to the dog park. Oh, and the dogs too, duh, and me and Lizzy ran around with them- the dogs not Mommy 'cause she's getting bigger now. But it was fun and then me and Lizzy got to go to the playground before we walked back to the house.

After while everyone else stayed downstairs I went to finish my homework before lunch and I did that really fast. And then

Pausing there Julia could feel her cheeks were literally aflame but she knew her writing would stay private, so she continued where she'd stopped.

Mommy came upstairs to see me, and she was carrying a big book that's all white, no pictures on the cover but that's really good. She told me about what I'm gonna learn about when we learn about Family Life next month. It was kinda embarrassing 'cause she told me about not just girls growing up but boys too. I know it so I don't want to write it down here, but I guess I will have… breasts too when I grow up. But I bet it's not gonna happen for a while.

Glancing down at herself Julia shook her head and then wrote again, staying on the same paragraph.

A long while. But that's okay 'cause I like being a kid still but… and I'm gonna tell you 'cause I'm afraid to tell Daddy and Mommy. It looks like it's scary being a grown up. I guess I should say why but it's embars

Julia stopped there and went to her dictionary she kept in her desk for homework and checked the spelling of the word before going back to it.

embarrassing to write about. Okay, so there's this thing called sex that grownups do together that's a lot more than kissing. It's so gross now I just

Stopping again Julia quickly checked the spelling of the word she wanted, and that time kept the dictionary out thinking she might need it again.

realized that means other grownups I know do that. Bleh. But I guess it makes you happy 'cause Mommy told me about the… um, I don't know how to spell it and it's not in my dictionary but there's a part on girls that helps make it nice. That's not what she said but I'm not writing it 'cause my face is gonna be on fire. Or that she told me when I grow up I can touch it and make myself happy. But she said to wait until I'm ready and…

Julia bit down hard on her lower lip as she remembered how her mother had explained to her what self-pleasuring was; using that word; but she shook her head and her pen began to write on the paper again.

I don't know if I will be grown up enough for that. It sounds like I shouldn't do it yet and- oh! Mommy said she was older too, in high school before she knew what that was like, so I'll wait too. And I'm gonna stop 'cause my face is really on fire now but one thing I'm really scared about. I don't like seeing the drawings and pictures of the men in the book. It looks gross but… the stuff for the ladies wasn't strange to me.

Studying her smaller writing in the last two sentences, Julia then shook her head and continued to write though in her normal handwriting.

Does that make me weird? Stupid? I think I have to like the first ones because I'm a girl, but Skye and Mary don't I know so

Julia stopped there, about to scratch out her writing or tear out the page though she'd written her thoughts about the drawings and pictures she'd seen for both genders in the book. But she paused as something told her not to and she decided to finish before she turned the page and moved on.

I just don't know yet. I'll be eleven soon so maybe I can know then… maybe my dreams will change then too.

Very quickly Julia turned the page so she was on two blank ones and she started to write again, relieved that her parents weren't there to see her reaction to writing about some of the dreams she'd been having since going to Japan the year before.

And then after lunch the most exciting thing happened, my baby sister kicked in my mommy's stomach! Lizzy and I weren't with Mommy when it happened; Daddy was which was good 'cause he's supposed to be the one to feel the baby kicking first. And he did before they came to where me and Lizzy were getting ready to play and they told us. Lizzy got to feel first but I did first when she was in Mommy's tummy, so it was fair. Good thing my sister kicked still when I felt. I can't wait to see her; I'm so excited to have another little sister. I remember carrying Lizzy around when I could do that, and it was fun… It's still another… (Sorry I needed to figure it out) I think three and a half months until she's born. It's too long but I guess she's still gotta grow.

Smiling at the thought of getting to see her littlest sister Julia realized that her parents still hadn't come back to her. She smiled a little bit wider; knowing that her mother was letting her write alone for the moment; and she turned back to her entry so she could finish and find them before they came back up to her. And filling her pen up a little more with ink she started to do just that.

And then after that (I said there was a lot today) the lady from the animal shelter brought our newest dog. She's a Scottish Deerhound (I think that's how you spell the second name) and so cute, she looks a little bit like Macca and has red fur too. Her name was Lady, but I decided to name her Rose after Rose and Valerie from the song Maxwell's Silver Hammer. But we're gonna call her Rosie 'cause it's easier to say. I hope my little sister likes that name! But she's gonna stay with Lizzy right now until the baby is here. I guess that's fair, I have Macca and JoJo with me… Think Mommy would let us get another two dogs, so Lizzy and the baby have one each? I gotta stop but I wish; I love having JoJo with me too now. Gonna go find Mommy and Daddy now, they're downstairs still, I'll try and write tomorrow!

Putting everything away Julia hurried over to the stairs and then went down them quietly, wanting to see what her parents were doing since she knew they were done with cleaning up their mugs. She hid in the shadows when she saw them in the kitchen and smiled as her father was kissing her mother's stomach before he stood up.

"How has it been?" Castle asked her.

"Basically the same as Eliza when she started, here and there," Beckett said. She smiled when the baby kicked near her husband's right hand and said, "That might be it for now."

"Probably," Castle replied, reluctantly letting her go.

"We should go, it's almost time for her to go to bed," Beckett said. She was about to go over to the stairs when her husband grabbed her and turned her around. She smiled for a moment and then wrapped her arms around him tightly before they kissed, relieved when he made it brief. That time she turned fully and saw Julia stepping out from the shadows down the hall. "Did you finish your entry?" she asked her with a smile.

"Yeah, do I need to go to bed?" Julia replied.

"You do, it's only what two minutes?" Castle asked his wife as he was looking at his watch.

"It is," Beckett replied. When they were upstairs in Julia's room she let Castle take her over to the bed before their oldest was sitting on it and looking at them expectantly.

"You don't want to say goodnight to the dogs?" Castle asked her.

"Oh," Julia said before she turned her attention to Macca. She threw her arms around the Wolfhound and told him, "I'm glad you like your new sister. Night Macca I'll see you tomorrow and I'll try to play with you again."

"You can after you work on your homework," Beckett told her.

"Good," Julia said, having a feeling already she and Eliza would want to do that. She kissed the side of Macca's head before hugging JoJo next and telling him, "And I'm glad you like your sister too, night JoJo we'll play tomorrow."

After she had kissed the side of the Greyhound's head Castle sat down and wrapped his arms around her as she snaked her own around his neck. "Happy?" he asked her.

"Yep," Julia said with a smile. "It was… we did a lot today."

"I know," Castle said, pulling away a little bit to look at her. He smiled back and told her, "I love you Julia.

"Love you Daddy, thanks for Rosie," Julia told him.

"You're welcome," Castle said. "But thank your mother more since it was her choice in the end."

Waiting for her husband to share a kiss with their oldest Beckett sat where he'd been and asked, "What's that look for?"

"Couldwegettwomoredogs?" Julia asked in a rush.

At first Castle was as confused as his wife obviously was before he then started to laugh and said, "She asked if we could get two more dogs love."

"So your sisters have two each too?" Beckett asked. When Julia nodded she said, "I don't think so sweetie. Four dogs is… a lot so we'll stop there."

"Okay," Julia said with a sigh. She then smiled at her mother and hugged her tightly before saying, "Thank you for talking to me Mommy," in a whisper.

"You're welcome," Beckett replied, kissing her temple as she embraced her back.

"And for Rosie and for letting us feel the baby kick," Julia said.

Beckett laughed softly and said, "You're right there was a lot for us today. But I'm glad you're happy."

"Yep," Julia said before she hugged her mother again. "I love you Mommy," she told her seriously.

"I love you too Julia," Beckett said. She shared a kiss with her and said, "You're growing up so fast."

"Not that fast," Julia whispered shyly.

"We still remember you when you were a little girl," Castle told her. "And we always remember-"

"So we notice how much you grow up," Beckett said with a smile. "And you're becoming a wonderful young lady."

Julia felt her cheeks were on fire yet again before she said, "Thanks." Her parents both hugged her before her mother had her lay down and then tucked her in with Macca and JoJo on either side of her. She watched them leave and then sighed, looking up at the ceiling in the dark before she fell asleep, wondering what she'd end up dreaming that night after everything that had happened that day.


Inside the bathroom Beckett looked at her reflection while she was buttoning her husband's shirt in the middle. She had excused herself for a moment to change, ostensibly into her pajamas but was instead putting on one of his shirts that she'd grabbed. She had no real idea why exactly he liked seeing her in them; especially while she was pregnant; but she didn't mind doing that for him. She stepped out into the room, seeing her husband was turning on the fireplace and she said, "We're not going right to bed?"

Whirling around at her voice Castle had something right on the tip of his tongue to say when he froze as he saw her. "You… you're p-" he began before he rushed over to her. Before she could really react, he had her in his arms and he was kissing her as deeply as he possibly could. He was pleased when she responded to him eagerly and they were running their hands over each other. As the kiss continued for a little longer he couldn't help becoming a little frustrated by their clothes but finally they stopped, and he said, "Anything you want to do first?"

Beckett merely smiled at him before she led him over to the bed before she let him get onto it first. She followed and sat on her knees with a wide smile before she said, "What would you like?"

"Oh no," Castle said quickly. "You can-" he began before his wife was covering his mouth with her hand.

When her husband gave her a look she said firmly, "What do you want?"

Breathing out; as he knew from her tone she wasn't going to let him get out of that Castle finally said, "Whatever you want."

Rolling her eyes Beckett said, "That's cheating."

"It's true though," Castle replied with a shrug.

About to protest again Beckett paused and something came to mind before she smiled, not surprised it obviously startled her husband. She reached up to the shirt and said, "Then what I'd like is to do what I know you'd enjoy."

Castle knew he would have normally protested that but he couldn't form the words as his wife was unbuttoning the shirt and shortly after opening it so she could spread it a bit. Her body exposed to him he was breathing roughly staring at her hungrily. "I… think I have a request," he said, gulping as he found himself literally drooling.

"Come here," Beckett said with a smile before she lay down. She wasn't surprised when he leaned down to her immediately but was when he kissed her instead of going to her breasts as she'd thought he would do. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and responded to him, her lips still a little swollen after their first kiss. But that didn't stop her from fighting eagerly with his tongue before they stopped pretending to struggle and instead rolled together to taste one another. When he moved down to her neck she sighed in pleasure as at the same time his hand was gently sliding around her clit.

Castle was very careful with what he was touching, being as gentle as he could before he moved while he was pulling away from her. He was a little annoyed at himself for not thinking of it in the first place, but he swiftly tucked as many pillows behind her back as he could before he said, "Who's going to be on-"

"You," Beckett said firmly before he could finish as she knew already what he was going to ask. She was relieved when he nodded; knowing they were getting closer to the point where she would have to be on top to make sure he wouldn't be continuously worried about the baby; and watched him lean down to start trailing his lips over her skin. She tried not to cry out too loudly as he slid them eventually, waiting anxiously for him to finally reach her breasts that were already aching for him to take them.

When he heard the cry from his wife the second he brushed his lips over her right breast Castle felt a thrill rush through him and he kissed around her nipple a few times before he was repeating the same action on her other mound. After he'd finished he pulled away and smiled at her before saying, "Keep going?" He was a little startled when she merely nodded at him but guessed she was trying to handle what he was doing to her. So he bowed his head again and that time flicked his tongue out to just barely nudge against her nipple. She still reacted, arching her back heavily, and he couldn't stop himself from taking the nub into his mouth. He tried his best to control himself, gently suckling at her before he felt her hands holding onto the back of his head, fingers sliding through his hair.

Beckett had a brief respite from the onslaught of pleasure her husband was causing in her when he moved to her other breast but as soon as he reached the other it started all over again. "Oh… Rick," she gasped out in her joy. "Please…"

Though he wanted to ask her what she wanted Castle wasn't stopping since he already knew what she would say. He pulled away eventually but nuzzled her nipple there with his nose, making her whimper for a moment. He moved away fully from her and looking down at her said, "Now you do need to say what we're doing next."

Recovered then Beckett was able to smile, and she told him, "Maybe we should hold on for a minute."

"Okay, what would you like to do?" Castle asked.

"Take off your clothes," Beckett told him firmly.

"Will you help me or am I on my own?" Castle replied. When his wife just stared at him he smiled and got off the bed, taking off his pajama shirt before he removed his pants and was about to reach for his boxers to take them off before she was grasping onto the waistband of them, pulling him to her as she'd gotten up.

"Maybe I'll help you with these," Beckett said with a smile. But instead of taking them off she tugged him down to her and wrapped her arms around him as tightly as she could when he landed slightly on top of her. They were quickly after kissing and tilting their heads back and forth while they were dueling with their tongues.

After a few more rough, hungry kisses like the first Castle moved away from her slowly and said, "Maybe we should start."

"We should but I like this part too," Beckett said.

"The foreplay part?" Castle asked. When she just smiled he couldn't stop himself and kissed her once more, roughly and deeply. His lips were swollen when they parted, and he told her, "I do as well but… I think I want something else."

Beckett asked him what that was when he pushed himself up off the bed and then went over to her nightstand. "Oh… again?" she asked when she saw her vibrator in his hand.

"Yes," Castle replied with a smile. He got on top of her and was going to have her take off his shirt when she was snatching the toy from his hand. "You-" he began to say.

"I think it's your turn," Beckett said. "Take those off and lay down."

Castle quickly did so; needing to get off the bed to do so; before he lay against the pillows as she'd been doing. He was about to ask her something when she was speaking and answering his question without him having to say a word.

"I'll take care of you," Beckett replied. She turned the vibrator on and with a smile began to run it around her husband's erection that was lying against his stomach. She smiled briefly at the way his eyes shut tightly while he was groaning in pleasure and she was careful running it around him. She had it on low as she didn't want to set him off instantly but wasn't easing up on running it around him from tip to base.

"Wait, not… I'm going to come," Castle groaned as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her arm away from him. "Sorry it was… a lot," he told her as she studied him. "Yes, I know I'm weak," he said in slight annoyance since she'd continued to stare at him. "But-"

"I know you're not used to it," Beckett replied. "And sometimes I'm not either so don't worry." She smiled and caressed his cheek telling him, "Should I keep going?"

"Is that what you want to do?" Castle asked. "Wait," he said when he saw the expression on her face and realized she'd gotten an idea. "You-"

Beckett cut him off with another kiss and when she finally pulled away told him, "Something for us both," simply. Before he could say anything to that she was moving in between them and turning it on. She had to spread her legs a little more so it was nestled against her clit, but he helped her by making sure the toy was touching his length as well. The pleasure was swift, and she couldn't stop herself from moving on him, moaning deeply while her husband held onto her tightly by her arms and was soon thrusting against her as well adding to what they were already feeling.

Castle was holding onto his wife desperately while they moved against one another and the vibrator. It wasn't the first time they'd done that before, but it had been some time since the last and he realized he'd forgotten how much he enjoyed it. He soon started to kiss her, taking her tongue before she teased him by pulling her head away slightly. He was quick to go after her and take her lips again, their tongues hungry against each other as they tasted one another again. When they'd stopped he leaned over enough to take her left ear lobe with his teeth, feeling her jerking hard against him and crying out in pleasure. He knew she was close so he started to reach down to move the vibrator out of the way, but she was doing it herself, tossing it aside once it was off and almost slamming herself down on him. As she came close to screaming he was groaning and they made one thrust together that made their hips smack together. They were climaxing nearly together; her a little ahead of him; and he groaned as his hands clasped tight on the small of her back. He was being driven literally crazy by her, the sensation of her trying to take everything he was giving her making him clutch at her as an anchor. He felt her stop first eventually, slumped against him the best she could, and he was following her, groaning her name in pleasure.

"That wasn't too bad," Beckett told him teasingly and with a smile. She gasped slightly as he began to kiss at her neck but held onto him to hold him where he was until he moved away from her. They stared at each other for a while before she leaned into him and they were soon kissing passionately, holding onto each other tightly again though that time they were running their nails over each other's back. "That's the last time I'm on top tonight," she said once they had stopped.

"When we come?" Castle asked. She nodded, and he kissed her forehead tenderly before moving down to her lips. He took those gently that time, feeling the vibration of her moan of pleasure before their tongues were meeting inside of her mouth. He lingered, as he wanted it to be a sensuous kiss as well, until they had to breathe. He smiled at her and said, "So what would you like now?"

"I'm not moving right now," Beckett replied. When he looked at her she said, "You can."

"Okay," Castle said before he flipped them around, trying to be as careful as he could. But when he stopped she was fine and propped up enough for him to lean down and kiss her deeply on the lips. When they parted shortly after he said, "Are you ready?"

"Not yet," Beckett said. "I trust you," she told him quickly when she saw the question on his lips. She waited eagerly then, wondering what he would do to help her regain her arousal.

Castle had been unsure of what to do at first but finally decided the simplest method was the best. He reached down and very carefully used his first two fingers to rub against her clit. He made sure the palm of his hand was pressed against her body and began to move it carefully at first. He was watching her closely as he was pleasuring her, not surprised that she was reacting immediately. She began to move, and he tried not to bite into his lip as that was quick to affect him and he tried his best not to start moving with her. Luckily, he was able to hold himself back and he soon stopped touching her as he didn't want it to be too much. "Okay?" he asked.

"Kiss me first," Beckett told him with a smile. "And then think of how you're going to put my legs." She wasn't surprised when her husband hesitated so she grabbed for him and pulled him down to her so they could kiss. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck as soon as their lips met, and she sank her tongue into his mouth before he could do that to her. They spent some time kissing; as neither she nor Castle could stop with just one; and when they parted she said, "Did you get it?"

"Yes," Castle said simply with a smile. He brushed his lips to hers before he murmured into her ear. As she was moving her legs he nibbled gently on her ear lobe, loving the way she was crying out softly in reaction before he felt she was ready. "I adore you," he said seriously as he made sure he wasn't pressing down on her abdomen too much. With her right leg under his arm that he was holding, her left wrapped just a little under his ass, he began to move, right as she was speaking as he couldn't wait any longer to do so.

"Oh! Rick, I adore you too!" Beckett moaned as he was getting deep within her instantly. She was holding onto the bed with her right hand and she clutched at his shoulder with her other, trying to use the bed to give her a little leverage to thrust. It took a little effort but finally she was able to thrust against him and their hips slapped a bit though he had more force. She closed her eyes to let everything overwhelm her and she knew she wasn't going to last long if they stayed like that for much longer. She tried to tell her husband that, but she couldn't speak as he was moving her leg and at nearly the same time kissing her passionately.

With extra access to his wife Castle spent some time around her lips before he moved back and was just staring at her as he thrust within her. As he liked to do he was varying his thrusts, hoping it wouldn't be too much for her just yet. He kept his eyes on her as he wanted to see what she was going through. But it soon became too difficult to keep his own eyes open and he closed them which wasn't too much of a loss as it left his sense of feeling her to grow. She was very eager he could tell and with how wet she was he was moving easily. Eventually it became too easy and he was sliding next along her clit, groaning as she was crying out.

"Wait, not yet," Beckett said, stopping him from grabbing his member to enter her again. "I… need a little more time. We haven't been together for that long anyway."

Nodding Castle let her move her legs and then sat up with her so they could kiss deeply before they parted, and he murmured to her, "This is nice."

"Are you sure? I thought you'd be livid you need to wait," Beckett said, nuzzling her nose against his.

"No, I'm fine," Castle said, shaking his head quickly. "I don't want this to be fast anyways."

"It's funny that you wouldn't," Beckett replied.

"Well there are times when we're quick," Castle pointed out. "And this is not one of those times."

"What if I said that's what I wanted next?" Beckett asked him.

Clenching his teeth together hard Castle couldn't answer as he was reacting to her running her index finger along his length slowly. "Kate," he finally managed to say through the haze of pleasure she was producing in him. "Okay," he finally said, snapping and grabbing her wrists. He did his best not to do so too tightly and he told her, "I can't wait anymore. And as for after if you want me to ravage you, literally, as fast as I can I will. For now…"

Beckett allowed him to push her to the bed though halfway down she took over before wrapping her legs around his waist. As he slipped inside of her once more she moaned deeply in her joy at the sensation of them coupled again and once she could feel his hips against her own he moved. Since she was ready for him she moved with him and cried out softly at first before she pushed herself up on her hands. That helped her get closer to him and helped her move her hips against him though she still couldn't move enough for her taste. But she didn't want to stop or move them around so she went along with it, distracting herself by reaching up with her right hand to caress her husband's chest.

With a heavy groan Castle stopped thrusting, not surprised when she protested that. He leaned down and kissed her gently to stop her from continuing before he said, "Want to keep going?"

"No," Beckett said with a smile that was very brief. She pressed her lips gently against his and then said softly, "I just miss feeling your cock moving inside my pussy."

Breathing out a, "Ha," Castle didn't let her react as he leaned down and kissed her as hard as he possibly could. While her tongue was tangling around his he thrust hard and groaned as she cried out; their lips still locked together; from there he worked up to a swift rhythm though he was careful not to go too fast against her. He wanted to draw things out as much as possible, but it was difficult, and he suddenly got an idea, moving her around so she was straddling him as he wrapped his arms around her tightly.

Beckett didn't protest that change, merely beginning to move with him while they started to kiss again. She could feel his hands running around her back and she suddenly had a strong desire, pulling away from him telling him, "You have your chance."

Without saying a word Castle dove down to her breasts and he proceeded to suckle at her right nipple, feeling her faltering before she got back to her rhythm. He was attentive before he moved to the other and repeated the same action to that nub. She was moaning and crying out heavily to him and he did that for a while longer before moving away and kissing her firmly on the lips. When they parted he moved her onto her back and told her, "I forgot to tell you I love taking your pussy with my cock."

"As hard as you can," Beckett told him.

"As hard I can," Castle replied, nearly breathless in anticipation before they were moving together even harder and faster. They kissed; as she was on her elbows; and he tried to angle his hips down deciding he would work to get them to the edge from then on instead of delaying things. And as they continued he realized that she wanted the same as she lay full on her back and was holding onto him, her nails digging into his shoulders.

Beckett was arching her neck as her husband kissed around it and she reached up to run her fingers through his hair and down his scalp. The way he shuddered against her nearly set her off and she had no idea how exactly she kept herself from flying over the edge. The friction between them was intense and she wanted to tell him to move faster since she wanted to continue to feel that. But he was leaning down to her to kiss her so she never got the chance though she found she didn't really mind in the end. She just held onto him and moved with him the best she could though as her pleasure was building up she found it more and more difficult.

"Kate… love are you close?" Castle groaned as he knew why she was faltering.

"Yes… I… please tell… tell me that… we've been doing this for… a while!" Beckett cried out heavily as she was nearly scratching at his skin.

"Yes… at least half…" Castle began before he slowed down a bit. He wasn't surprised when his wife groaned but realized at her statement he wasn't sure how long they'd been moving. He knew it was a while, but his slowing down was a way to draw it out. Finally, her heels knocking hard against his ass spurred him and he groaned, "I'll… fuck you as long… as you want Kate. Just… come for me now… I want to feel you."

The tone of Castle's voice was too much and just the fact he was making her sex ache and burn in pleasure, leaving Beckett to follow her body's desire and come heavily. She was trying not to scream but her ecstasy was too much and far too strong, so she couldn't stop herself. But it was short lived as she started to chant his name, interspersing it with curses as everything was intense. When he soon started to orgasm with her she was raking her nails over his skin hard, scraping at it and somehow spurring him to a second climax. She was a little after him as he managed to get her clit at the same time he reached his peak since he was jerking against her so hard. She was clinging to him, only able to do that as she was too tense to do anything else. But she was still feeling all the pleasure he gave her until she went limp, weak on the bed as her husband was taking the last of his pleasure.

Castle was trying to continue to move steadily but he soon lost it and gave a few harder, more jabbing thrusts until he was holding himself up on his hands and knees. "Oh god that was… we needed that," he said breathily though he was more recovered.

"I know," Beckett said with a smile. She sighed when her husband got off her and she watched him move to lie next to her. "Do you remember," she began as she lay on her side and pressed close to him. "Us doing this when I was still carrying Eliza?"

"Of course," Castle said. He shifted and said, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Beckett asked, sitting up as he was doing so.

"My back, I don't know if you scratched too hard," Castle replied.

Beckett bit at her lower lip before she checked his skin on his shoulders, seeing the marks that she had left. "You're not bleeding," she reassured him, gently running her fingers over the red. "But I left some lines here."

"Well as long as I'm not bleeding," Castle said with a smile. He expected his wife to stop so they could lie down again but she was continuing to touch him, and he finally had to stop her. "You want to now?" he asked her as he turned to look at her.

"Okay," Beckett replied. When her husband looked at her with wide eyes she threw herself at him and kissed him hungrily before she was moving to straddle him at the same time. As soon as they were ready she let him help her down onto his erection that hadn't really dissipated, moaning in joy since she hadn't lost her arousal fully. She then moved once and that seemed to set them off, making them hold onto each other and kiss before she told him to move them both.

Castle couldn't deny his wife what she wanted and flipped her onto her back, moving harder within her as he knew she still wanted it to be a quickie. He kissed her and tried his best to pleasure her as much as he could until they were both climaxing roughly and hard, holding onto each other as tightly as they could. When they stopped they were both trembling slightly and panting heavily. "Do you want more?" he asked.

"Yes, but not at this exact moment," Beckett replied with a smile. She waited for her husband to get off her before they both lay on their backs and he wrapped his right arm underneath her so he could rest his hand on the curve of her abdomen. She was about to speak when suddenly he got up and he walked around the bed to the bathroom. "For your back?" she asked as she spotted the lotion in his hand.

"This isn't mine," Castle replied.

"No but you should bring it out here," Beckett said. She caught the bottle of her rose lotion he tossed her and waited for him to come out before she said, "I almost forgot."

"Your perfume reminded me," Castle explained with a smile before he kissed her and then got on the bed. "Lay back," he told her as he took her lotion back and then put some of the crème on his hand. Rubbing her abdomen gently he said, "Okay?"

"Mmm-hmm, she might be asleep," Beckett sigh, relaxing at her husband's touch as he was using both of his hands. She was going to speak when suddenly the baby kicked, and she and her husband laughed together at the sensation. "I love you you know," she told him after watching for a moment.

"I know," Castle replied. "And I love you too Kate." When he finished he was going to get up to wash his hands when suddenly his wife was tugging his arm. Though he wanted to protest he turned around and waited for her to rub his sandalwood lotion into his back. "Thanks," he said as he got up to take the bottles back and wash his hands. As he was doing that he wasn't surprised when his wife went over to her sink to do the same and he said, "You never took off my shirt," as it was still on her.

"I like it," Beckett said jokingly. She smiled and said, "I forgot about it to be honest. But I don't mind it."

"Neither do I," Castle told her as he went over to her and then pulled her close against him. He touched her stomach gently before he turned his attention to her and leaned down, kissing her as hard as he could. He could feel her sliding her fingers through his hair as they were busy dueling their tongues again but didn't stop even though he was shuddering in pleasure at her touch.

After they had parted Beckett pressed her forehead to his, unable to speak for a moment as she was a little weak kneed at their kiss. When she had recovered enough she was going to speak when suddenly Castle was lifting her up in his arms to her slight cry. "I'm not-" she started to say.

"No," Castle said firmly. "You're fine and I want you right now," he said as he carried her out to their bed.

Beckett waited until she was set down on the mattress before she told him, "I want you too lover. Come here, now."

The two got Castle's shirt off Beckett before they were sinking down and letting him enter her gently. They began to make love gently and tenderly, using that to start what would end up being a longer time together than they had planned. They didn't mind though as their desire was a literal thirst that neither could really quench and didn't bother to try as they knew they'd need much more than a night to do that. So instead they focused on each moment they had together, reaching all the heights of ecstasy they could give each other. As soon as they had calmed down they were starting over yet again as they whispered a promise of always, needing one another desperately once more.
