Prompt from Falon here on fanfiction . net: Could there be one where Castles sister and Ryan end up together?
"Ryan, Jenny," Castle calls out and waves them over. "come here, I want you to meet someone."
"Hey Castle," Ryan smiles as he walks up with his wife. "I gotta tell you, man, it was a beautiful ceremony."
"Yes it was," Jenny agrees.
"Thank you," Castle grins widely. "Now, I want you two to enjoy the reception, but first," he points to the man standing next to him, "I want to introduce you to my-"
"Dad?" Jenny interrupts.
"Yeah," Castle's face scrunches in confusion, "uh, how'd you know?"
"Know what?" Jenny replies.
"That he was my dad."
"This is your dad?" she looks back and forth between Hunt and Castle.
"Yes."
"Rick," she swallows, "this is my dad."
"What?" both Castle and Ryan exclaim at the same time.
"Jenny," Ryan looks at her, "I've met your father before. This isn't him."
"No, you've met the man that raised me," she explains. "I call him my father, but my mom had me shortly before they met. This man," she points to Hunt, "is my biological father."
"How can that be?" Castle turns to Hunt. "This isn't true, is it?"
"Rick," Hunt sighs, "perhaps there's somewhere where we could go talk. I have some things that I obviously need to tell you."
Castle stares dumbfounded at him, unable to think of a response. If this was all true, if his father was Jenny's father, then that would mean...
"Castle. Hey, Castle. Castle!"
Castle jerks awake and sits up with a jolt. He looks around groggily until his gaze falls on Kate.
"You okay, Castle?" she smiles. "You look like you just saw a ghost or something."
"Uh," he clears his throat and wipes his mouth, "no, I'm fine. I just had the strangest dream."
"That's what you get for staying up late to write after a long case and falling asleep at your computer," she chuckles. "It's after midnight, come to bed."
"Yeah, let me just shut the computer down, and I'll be there in a second."
He watches her leave and then saves his document before shutting down the laptop and closing the screen. Perhaps Kate is right about late night writing after a case. Whatever caused him to have that dream doesn't matter right now though. All that matters is that his wife is waiting for him in bed.
