21. Manhattan's New It Couple

Manhattan's New It Couple

After their time in Saint – Tropez; the newlyweds had flown to the Hamptons to spend the last bit of their honeymoon before they returned home. As they relaxed in the backyard; Beckett went back to her first time there, just after they had a visitor that night.

"Yeah, he came stumbling up from the beach…uh.. just after 10:15. Uh, collapsed into the pool. I tried to revive him, but…"

"Were you here as well, ma'am?" Chief Brady asked.

"Yeah"

"Name please?"

"Uh… Katherine Beckett, but do you think we could keep that out of the public record?"

" 'Course."

"Not that we're doing anything wrong, I just…"

"Right."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Don't worry. It's the Hamptons. We'll be discreet. We're… we're not interested in your arrangement."

"Arrangement?"

"Chief! Chief…uh… I… I don't… she's not a…"

"I'm not a prostitute."

When they were in the Hamptons that time; Chief Brady continued to dig himself a hole after he insinuated that Beckett was a prostitute. To which Beckett's response was to put the Chief in his place. Castle enjoyed watching Beckett do that.

This time around when they were in the Hamptons; Castle and Beckett got a warm welcome from the other patrons of the Hamptons and from Chief Brady.

"It's good to see you two back here." Chief Brady said.

"It's good to be back, Chief."

"Well congratulations on getting married; Mr. Castle, Detective Beckett."

Castle and Beckett shared a look. It had been decided that when it came to their professional lives; Beckett would remain a Beckett so to speak, even though everyone at the 12th and 1PP knew that she was now Castle's wife. In their personal lives outside of the 12th Beckett would be a Castle.

When Castle and Beckett sat down for coffee one morning when they were at their Hamptons home the latest edition of one of the many newspapers in publication was a headline that pertained to Castle and Beckett.

Manhattan's New It Couple: New York Times Best Selling Author Richard Castle and NYPD Homicide Detective Katherine Beckett.

Once they both read the headline there was a look between them for a brief moment in time.

"And so it begins…" Castle said to his new wife.

With that the newlyweds shared a kiss before they decided that they would take turns reading the article.
