Snowbound
Castle and Beckett had decided that the five of them would head up north across the border the United States shared with Canada for the impromptu vacation. At this point neither of them was concerned with how much money was being spent. All Castle and Beckett cared about at this point was getting their triplets back on the right path.
Martha called the triplets' school to let the staff know that the triplets would be pulled out of school by their parents. Castle helped Beckett pack. In a few short hours Castle and Beckett were heading to Marlowe Prep to pick their kids up before they all headed to the departures terminal of JFK airport.
The triplets still had their school things with them and would be in their school uniforms until they got to the hotel in Canada.
"Why are we doing this now?" Delilah asked once she was in the car with her parents and siblings.
"Yeah; why now? The school year literally just started a few months ago and we're going on vacation." Riley chimed in.
"This so doesn't make sense." Carter commented.
Castle was driving so Beckett was the one who was fielding questions from the kids.
"We're doing this because your father and I need some time off."
"Then you two should be the ones going not us. We could have stayed home with Grams."
"Last time you three stayed home; you got drugged at a nightclub and were hospital bound for three days. You're coming with us and that's final." Beckett said.
"But Mom…" the triplets whined.
With one look from their parents the triplets stopped their whining and remained quiet for the rest of the ride to JFK.
The family of five breezed through security which was a surprise since Beckett was carrying just in case they were called back; all that Beckett had to do was show security her carry permit and tell them that she was homicide detective with NYPD.
The wait time to board was relatively short. Castle and Beckett were able to get coffee for themselves and the triplets while they waited. As to be expected the entire family flew to Vancouver in first class.
A while later once everyone was checked in at the hotel and settled in; the triplets changed out of their school uniforms before they joined their parents in their room.
"So why are we here?"
"Why Vancouver?"
"Is this some sort of punishment for getting drugged at the club?"
Once again the triplets had a million questions.
"We're here because your mother and I need time off. As do the three of you."
"We just had three days off, Dad."
"Well this is different." Castle stated.
"How?"
"It's different because your father and I feel that the three of you have been way too rebellious as of late. We want to get you back on the right path now before it's too late." Beckett said.
There was a pause before the triplets responded.
"How can the three of us even think of going down the wrong path when we have a mother who is a homicide detective, a father who is a murder/mystery writer, a grandfather who is lawyer while the other grandfather is a deep cover CIA spy and our parents' friends also happen to be to homicide detectives and the medical examiner?" Riley asked.
"We've seen the good and the bad over the past sixteen years thanks to all of you; so there is no way that we are going down the wrong path…" Carter trailed off.
"We're just going through our teenage years. Just as you two did once. And from what Grams and Grandpa Jim have said; you two were a lot worse than we are." Delilah said.
After that discussion the family of five went to dinner and spent some time together after dinner. Castle and Beckett of course checked in with everyone back home before bed.
"So far so good, Kate." Castle said commenting on the night they had with the kids.
"Yeah, babe. Let's not jump the gun; we still have nine days to go before this over."
