A/N: This chapter came to me cause we all need a little "something-something' to happen between Caskett in this story to get us through this hiatus.

Rick had brought his laptop with him so that he could work on Heat Rises since his ex-wife/ex-girlfriend/publisher, Gina, had been on his case about meeting his deadline. Both Gina and Kate knew quite well that Rick had the tendency to procrastinate when it came to writing. He would find anything and everything to distract him from writing. From what Kate had seen one night after they had put the twins to bed, Rick was almost done with the final chapter of Heat Rises which only left the acknowledgements left to write before the whole thing was sent off to Gina.
"I should really be the first to read that when it's done, not Gina or anyone at Black Pawn." Beckett said as they got into bed.
"It's not done yet, Kate."
"I know that, but considering the fact that I am the inspiration for the series and not your ex or anyone at Black Pawn; I have the right to read it first. Especially since I am the mother of your children."
"And you're a cop too, so I really have no choice." Castle said.
"Not really." Beckett said as she went in for the kiss.
Rick could see the glint of joy and cheekiness in his wife's hazel eyes. He knew where this was going. They hadn't been this intimate with each other in quite some time, in fact the last time was before Liam and Harley had arrived. Following the cesarean section that Kate had undergone to have the twins, neither of them wanted to take any chances. The past three months and two weeks had been torture to a degree for both of them even when they had been preoccupied with other things.
"I figured it was a safe bet that you wouldn't have any objections to doing this." Beckett said when they broke for air.
"None at all."
"Good."
After countless rounds of bedroom escapades between husband and wife the duo was just starting to fall asleep as the sun rose. Rick and Kate could hear the twins stirring over the baby monitor that was sitting on a nearby dresser.
"No rest for the weary, huh?" Castle said as he start to get up.
"Let Alexis or one of our parents get the twins and come back here to me, Mr. Castle." Beckett said with an air of seduction added to her voice as she called her husband Mr. Castle.
Rick waited for a beat or so just to keep Kate guessing as to what he was going to do. He used everyone one of his poker skills to keep a straight face as he sat up in their bed. Kate on the other hand wasn't fooled at all by the front her husband was putting up.
"Enough with the charade, babe; get over here now."
Rick did as he was told and got back into bed with Kate. It wasn't long after that they were onto their next round of bedroom escapades. As they shared yet another kiss, Kate was absolutely elated with the results she had gotten just moments before.
