A/N I'm glad people are enjoying this I took some of your ideas and put it in this chapter.
Lunchtime comes around quickly, he leaves the confinements of his office, to find Kate. He finds her in the kitchen preparing food for the picnic. She is facing the cooker so he motions a shhh! action to his son who is playing in the living room. He sneaks up to surprise her,but he soon regrets this decision as he touches her arm, she recoils back and he finds himself pinned to the counter. One arm twisted behind his back,and a knee pressed into the back of his.
"Apples. Apples."
She lets him go as quickly as she had pinned him. He rubs his now sore arm while giving her a sad look. She just rolls her eyes and gives him a disapproving stare.
"Castle, how many times do I have to tell you? Never sneak up on a cop, especially one with martial arts training."
" One more time apparently."
She chuckles at this and resumes her food preparation. He leaves her too it, he will only get in the way. He takes a seat on the leather couch, Rion comes running up to him, his arms up. He leans down, grabs him gently but with a frim grip under the arms and swings him up in the air. Rion's squeals of delight resonate throughout the loft. He brings him down to land with a bump.
"Daddy again."
Castle can't resist the puppy dog eyes that his son is giving him so he swings him in the air again. He brings him down and sits him on his lap. " Would you like to hear a story?"
Rion claps his little hands together, a smile adorning his chubby little face. Castle settles him back so that he can see his face then begins the story.
" Well once upon a time, there was a detective called Beckett, and a handsome writer called Castle."
" Dat's you."
"Right buddy, so Castle is at his book launch minding his own business when someone says his name. He turns around and finds a beautiful young woman standing there. He thinks she is a fan so he gets out his pen for an autograph. She says she is detective Beckett and that she needs a word with him. So he follows the pretty woman down to the police station. They talk and she flirts with him. Then he follows her around for a few years, then they get married and have you. The End!"
She has walked over at the point, she leans down and captures his lips in the sweetest kiss. He melts under her touch, Rion reaches for her and she picks him up.
" I think you missed out the part when Detective Beckett thought that Mr Castle was annoying, arrogant and she wanted him to leave her alone."
He follows them to the kitchen, pulls her into a hug sandwiching his son in the middle. His hands falling to and holding her waist.
" Yes but that didn't last and now we have this little guy."
He kisses his son on the top of his brown curls. He can't imagine his life without this little one now. He remembers the day he was born it was a dramatic one to say the least. Beckett was on desk duty, being 8 months pregnant she didn't have a choice. To say she hated it was an understatement but she put up with it. She didn't want to cause any harm to the baby being in the field. It was a normal day, she was due to go on maternity duty in a few days. She was just filling in paperwork when a man ran into the desk area brandishing a knife. Before she could react he was at her side and had the knife to her neck. She panicked, try to reason with him. It came to light he was a prisoner who had stabbed the duty officer before escaping the lock up cells. Soon the room was buzzing with officers, trying to get the man to let her go. The man was becoming restless demanding to be allowed to walk out, Beckett was becoming upset and stressed. This was not good for the baby, finally her boys got control of the situation. Ryan had snuck up behind the guy, temple pressed to the perp's head soon made him let her go. The tears were freely flowing, her heart pounding in her chest, blood pressure creeping on too high. Once the man was safely locked away, the boys checked on her. Of course she told them she was fine, but she wasn't. She was getting a horrible pain in her abdomen, she managed to hide it for a bit. Ryan was the first to spot something was wrong, he caught her grimacing.
He called an ambulance, and talked her through what was happening. The pain was now more regular and it was realized that she was in labor. I met them at the hospital, it was too early she was only 35 weeks. She was rushed to the labor ward and an hour and half later my son was born. He was taken for checks, and he spent 4 days in the NICU. His lungs not quite mature enough but a few days of steroids corrected that. We named him Rion, which is a version of Ryan after our friend who had saved Beckett. Also Rion stood for king which seemed quite apt as his last name was Castle.
He swipes an escaping tear from his eye, then steps back and begins to pack the food for the park. Beckett takes Rion upstairs to put on some warm attire. He gets the blanket, and their coats from the hall closet. He wiggles his feet into his shoes and waits for his family. When they're already, he opens the door and they wait for a lift.
