A few hours later, Jenny and Sarah Grace were gone. Martha had come home from her long day out. Both sets of twins were very excited to see their grandmother.

"Grams!" Harley shouted.

"Grams! Grams!" Liam exclaimed.

Avery and Aria babbled a hello from their nappers.

"Well that was a great way to come home." Martha said as she gave the four musketeers each a kiss.

Before anyone could ask Martha about her day, the front door opened again. This time it was Alexis coming home with shopping bags and Kameron in tow. Once they were inside the loft, their bags fell out of their hands and onto the floor as the lovebirds embraced each other. Alexis half expected for her family to be elsewhere in the loft when she got home and not all in the kitchen area like they were.

Soon Alexis' fair skin matched the red hair on her head when she noticed that they had an audience. Kameron was just as uncomfortable in the current situation as Alexis was.

"Mom, Dad, Grams… Didn't know you were all here." Alexis said.

Kate and Martha were smiling, once upon a time they had been in Alexis' shoes on more than one occasion.

"Well we are and so are your siblings." Castle commented.

"Oh Richard, don't be an old stick in the mud."

To ease the awkwardness of the situation that they were in, Kameron came out in front of Alexis.

"Mr. Castle, it good to see you again." Kameron said as he extended his hand to Rick.

"It's nice to see you too."

"Rick…." Beckett said cautiously.

"Richard." Martha echoed.

"Mrs. Castle, it's pleasure to see you again."

"Welcome back, Kameron."

"Mrs. Rodgers, nice to see you again."

"It's lovely to see you again too, Kameron."

"Okay, now that we have that out of the way; Kam is going to help me bring this stuff up and then he'll be heading home." Alexis said as she was still trying to mitigate whole situation.

"Psst-shaw; Kameron will stay for dinner. I insist." Martha said.

With that Alexis and Kameron brought the shopping bags up to Alexis's room.

"Thanks mother."

"Really, Richard… Alexis isn't a child anymore. She is going to have boyfriends while she is at Columbia. So deal with it."

Kate loved her mother in law's response to Rick not wanting Alexis to date.

"She has a point, babe." Beckett said as she kissed Rick on the cheek.

Martha tended to her granddaughters and grandson. Rick and Kate went back to making dinner.

Upstairs, Alexis and Kameron reached Alexis's bedroom.

"Well that was interesting to say the least." Kameron said once they were alone.

"That's one way of putting it."

Soon enough, Kameron and Alexis were inching closer to each other after they had set the bags down and had each taken a seat on Alexis's bed. It wasn't long before they locked lips again.

Downstairs, Rick was wondering what was taking his daughter and Kameron so long to return from what should've been a quick trip upstairs.

"I'm going to go up and see what's taking them so long." Castle said.

In that moment both Martha and Kate went all bug eyed. The two of them knew that Alexis and Kameron were spending some time together. They also assumed that it wouldn't go too far. After all, Alexis still had all of the power in her relationship with Kameron.

"I wouldn't do that…" Beckett said after Martha had nonverbally cued her to take the lead in the current situation.

"Why?" Castle questioned.

"Because, because…." Beckett said trying her best to stall Rick.

It was then that the couple downstairs mimicked the couple upstairs when Kate kissed Rick.
