4. Castle asks Jim if he can marry Kate.
Castle knocked on the door of Jim's house, he put his hands in his pocket since it was turning a little cold. After a few minutes the door opened and Jim smiled at him.
"Rick, good to see you as always."
Castle smiled at him. "Good evening Jim." After a few months of the occasional visit to Jim he had finally stopped calling him sir.
"Come on in." Jim stepped to the side and took the jacket from Castle. "Can I get you a drink, coffee?"
"Sure I'd love some." Castle nodded his head as Jim told him to go and make himself comfortable in the living room.
"So Rick what can I do for you today?" Jim asked as he took the mug of coffee from the table and took a drink from it.
"Well I've come to ask you a question." Castle said as he took a drink from his own mug before placing it on the table in front of him. There was silence for a few minutes before Castle looked up from where he was looking at the floor.
"So I came today to ask for your permission to marry Kate." He stared ahead and looked Jim in the face. "Now I know my track record certainly isn't the best and that if Kate found out I was doing this she would kill but I thought I should at least do it right."
"She isn't pregnant is she?" Jim asked.
Luckily Castle wasn't drinking anything then because he was sure he would have choked. "Erm…no? I don't think she is." Not for lack of trying, Castle thought.
"Well you have my blessing but just remember something." Jim straightened and gave him the best look he could. "I own a gun and you hurt Katie I'll come after you."
For a kind man Jim could sure make Castle feel scared and uncomfortable. "Noted." Castle said with a little hitch in his voice.
"Good, now that's over when can I expect these grandchildren?"
Unfortunately for Castle he wasn't so lucky the second time, he ended up choking on his coffee and staring at Jim, his mouth opening and closing every few seconds. Suddenly Castle began to think this was a bad idea and he couldn't wait to get back to the loft.
