Shawn listened to her talk about her internship with an ME someone with someone she knew, and other part-time jobs she had as a teenager. It wasn't until Melody's voice got him out of his daze.

"Shawn!" She shouted a little close to his ear.

He looked away from Alexis and up to Melody waving around a phone. "What?"

"Hello, you have a phone for a reason, to answer your calls." Melody flicked him on the forehead.

"I told you just ignore her calls." Shawn whined.

"She says it's really important." Melody said.

"That's what she always says." Shawn rolled his eyes.

"She's your sister." Melody pleaded.

"Ok. Um excuse me Alexis." He took the phone from Melody and walked towards the kitchen.

Alexis turned to Melody. "Is Laura calling from school?"

"No, it's his older sister Piper." Melody added and sat down next to her.

Alexis watched as Shawn rubbed his forehead as he listened to his sister over the phone. Suddenly getting angry, at something she said, Shawn started to raise his voice a little bit.

"Just stop. Right now. I have a guest; I'm not going to fight with you." Shawn yelled into the phone.

"Tell her to call you later." Melody called.

"Look I'm going to hang up now, don't get your manager in a fuss." He said closing the phone and tossed it on the island, looking back towards Alexis he came and sat down.

He put his head in his hands and just leaned forward. Alexis turned to Melody. "How long have you known the family?"

Melody smiled, as if pride. "I've known them since Shawn was 2. Their mother was always running off everywhere and their father worked so I practically raised them."

"So why are you hiring a new nanny?" Alexis asked.

"I'm not a Nanny silly, I'm a personal assistant." She said, taking Darcy and Colby into the other room.

Shawn, rising his head, looked at her. "Besides Dad thinks that hiring someone to watch the kids Brian get my ass out into the real world of New York TV and film."

"You don't want to be like your dad?" Alexis asked, suddenly interested.

Shawn sighed and smiled. "Not particularly. He's always so focused on work. Even when I was little you know, hit was always about business, now that I'm older it's still about business. I wish I had what he has with Piper though."

Alexis placed her hand on his bare back and immediately regretted it, because she could feel the warmth from the anger he got talking about his family. Shawn could feel the tension to, as her cold palm rested on his back sending a shot through his body.

"Alexis." He whispered, hoping she wouldn't hear him but also that she would.

"Yes." She answered slightly more excited than usual.

"Do you want to go somewhere with me? And Darcy and Colby?" He asked slightly hopeful, part of him didn't want to add that last part but all of him knew he should.

"Sure, I'd love to." She smiled but immediately she felt the vibrating from her pocket.

Girl, how'd it go? Your daddy's freaking out over here. He said something about you not coming by yet to tell him how it went? –Lanie

Alexis looked to the top of the screen and realized it was 9:00, she's been then for over 2 hours. Gasping she placed her hand over her mouth, and Shawn watched as she let out a small laugh.

Her laugh was beautiful. "What's so funny?"

"Do you mind if we stop somewhere first?" She was still smiling.

"Um sure. " He said, standing up.

Alexis as he left the room with a smile, calling for his siblings. Though she didn't realize, he was smiling because of her. She stood up, took out her cell phone and called her step-mother.

"Beckett?" Is how she always answered the phone.

"Hey Kate, it's Alexis." She said, smiling.

"Oh hey. How'd your job interview go?" She asked.

"Good, I think I got the job. Are you guys still there I think I'm gonna stop by." She said, staring at Shawn trying to get Colby dressed.

"Sure, see you soon." Kate said.

"Alright bye Kate." Alexis hung up the phone.

After Shawn got the two kids ready, Melody decided to stay home, while they took Alexis' car to the precinct. Shawn grew from extremely curious to a bit scared when Alexis pulled into the 12th Precinct, parking lot.

"I get free parking." She laughed, meanwhile Darcy and Colby sat up at the window. Shawn carried Darcy, and Alexis helped with Colby.

"Hey Colby, you want to see some police officers?" Alexis asked trying to sound as cheery as possible.

"I'm a cop." The three year old said waving a toy gun in the air.

"Cool." Alexis laughed, carrying him into the precinct.

Reaching the elevator, Shawn turned to her. Watching her play with Colby a little bit he was amazed. She turned to him, as he stared straight into her blue eyes and she blushed.

"What are you looking at?" Alexis laughed.

"Just you. Nothing special." He joked, nudging her.

"Hey." She said, poking him in the shoulder.

Rick had been waiting for his daughter to come for the past hour. She was supposed to tell him and Kate how it went. Watching the elevator at every ding, he finally saw Alexis, but she was with a tall brown haired man, while he was carrying a little girl, she had a little boy in her arms.

"Hey Dad." Alexis called stepping out of the elevator with them.

"Hey honey." He smiled waiting for the man to introduce himself.

"Hey Uncle Rick. It's me, Shawn remember?" Shawn laughed at him.

He stared at him, and the face hit him, Brian Howard's son. He hadn't been to see the family in some years now, he got busy with writing and shadowing Kate.

"Wow. Man do I feel old. How old are you now?" He asked, he looked so much like his father.

"20. Staying at home to take care of the younger ones." Shawn laughed.

"Oh yeah. Haven't seen you guys since the twins were about 3 or 4." Rick laughed.

"Well Troy and Eric are 13, now. Laura's turning 16 in a couple months." Shawn said, Alexis noticed how his eyes light up when he's talking about his siblings.

"Yeah, I hear you have a couple more now don't you now." Rick said, leading them over to the break room as everyone starting looking at the new guy standing with Castle's daughter.

"Yep, Jude he's 7. And this Darcy." Shawn said, pointing to the little girl.

"I'm 5." She said, holding up her fingers as if to prove it.

"Hi there Darcy. And whose this guy." He asked, tickling the boy's stomach and smiling as he laughed.

"This is Colby, whose three." Shawn said, ruffling the little boy's hair.

"Well Dad, this reunion could go on forever, but we should go. I wanted to come by cause Kate and Lanie told me you were worrying your tail off." Alexis said, placing a kiss on her father's cheek.

"Okay, love you. See ya tonight." He said, watching his daughter leave.

As they made their way into the elevator again to leave, Shawn poked her shoulder and she turned to look at him and he leaned to her ear.

"Your dad got old." He whispered.

The entire precinct could hear the redhead burst into laughter.
