This fic takes place in the future the events of Veritas accrued (so if you haven't seen I yet there will be spoilers). Castle and Beckett are married but the season finale is not part of this the wedding will be mentioned but it will be the way I image their wedding. Everything else is as is on the show.
Disclaimer: Me own Castle yeah right! If I did Nathan, Stana and I would be bffs and there would so be a Caskett baby on the way. Andrew Marlow is the lucky owner of Castle, lucky bastard lol. How ever I do own all 5 seasons of Castle on DVD, all 5 Nikki Heat books, a calendar and a t-shirt!
Chapter 7: Putting A Plan In Motion
Kate looked out the window at the countryside and the ocean as it whizzed by. Memories of her first visit to the Hamptons filled her mind. She and Castle had just gotten together and no one knew yet he whisked her up here for a romantic weekend she had been uncomfortable about being there at first she kept picturing all the other women he brought up there. He told her there were other women but none of them were her. Later that night she was prepared to give him sex in the pool but a body falling in it ruined the romance she had planned.
"Kate" Castle's voice pulled her from her thoughts, she looked over at him and he smiled. She loved his smile. "Are you okay" he asked "You looked so far away"
"Yeah" she nodded "I was just thinking about the first time you brought me up here"
"I meant what said the other women I brought up here none of them were you" he pulled the car into the driveway of the huge oceanside home. "I seem to recall you forgot your suit on that trip" he added grinning as he though of Kate's nude form when she dropped her robe that night.
"Mmm yes I remember maybe if you're good we can reenact that night minus the body" Kate ran her hand up his thigh causing him to squirm. She leaned in kissing him.
"Okay eww is there anywhere you two haven't had sex" Alexis cringes as she gets out of the car.
"Oh I think its sweet they are newlyweds you know" Martha smiled as she got out of the car.
"Unfortunately she's right Alexis for the first 6 months of our marriage Johanna and I were all over each other all the time" Jim chuckled.
"Dad! Gross! thanks for ruining the moment" Kate whined pulling away from her husband.
Everyone went inside putting their bags in the rooms they would be using. Kate sighs as she sits on the edge of their bed. "I hate this" she whispers
"Hate what" Castle asked putting his clothes away "I hope its not being married to me" he jokes
"What" her head snaps up "No of course not I love you and I love being your wife" she assured him "I hate that we had to run and make everyone come with us"
Castle set the shirt in his hand down and kneeled in front of her "Kate we aren't running and we didn't make anyone come they wanted to they love you almost as much as I do" he looked into her hazel eyes "We're here so you can relax and take care of the littlest Castle" he set his hand on her stomach. She smiled and he couldn't resist his lips were just about to meet hers when they heard his mother's voice "Richard darling your friends are here" Martha called up to him.
Castle sighed and pulled back "Coming mother" he looked at Kate "I'm sorry my mother has the worst timing ever"
Kate laughed "Yeah I remember the morning after our first time together you made me hide in the closet" she took his hand "Come on the rest of our family is here"
Castle smiled he'd make sure they had some alone time later. They went downstairs Kate smiled when she saw Sarah Grace in Ryan's arms "Hi beautiful girl" she cooed to the baby playing with her little hand.
"Kevin let Kate hold her, she needs the practice" Jenny smiled
Kate shot Ryan a look. "Sorry" he murmurs "She's my wife I can't keep things from her" he shrugs as he hands her his daughter.
"Someone is whipped" Esposito coughs.
Lanie rolls her eyes "Javi leave the man alone and tell me what the hell is going on"
"Woman I told you Bracken is out of prison" he rolled his eyes
"No not that with my girl since when does she want to hold a baby when we had little Benny at the precinct she wanted nothing to do with him" Lanie crossed her arms
"I'm pregnant" Kate replied softly
"Girl are you serious! Castle knocked you up already!" the medical examiner exclaimed a big grin on her face.
Kate nodded "Somewhere between the wedding night and our honeymoon"
"Damn writer boy didn't waste any time did he" Lanie teased hugging her best friend.
"Its writer man" Castle corrected her.
"Uh huh what ever you say" Lanie teased "So I am Godmother aren't I" she asked Kate.
Castle laughed "Come on men lets go grill up some dinner" the four men left the women to their baby chatter.
"We need to take Bracken down for good this time" Castle flipped steaks and burgers on the grill watching Kate threw the glass smiling and playing with Sarah Grace.
"There's one sure fire way bro putting a bullet in his brain" Esposito took a sip of his beer while making a gun with his fingers.
"That is a sure fire way son" Jim took a sip of his Pepsi "But its no good"
"Its prefect Mr. Beckett just one shot and boom problem solved" Esposito shot his finger gun.
"First of all Javier call me Jim and yes but another problem would be made" Jim replies
"What problem is that dad" Castle set burgers on a plate taking a drink of his own beer.
"Well son you're the love of Katie's life, Javier and Kevin are her brothers if the Senator is murdered one or maybe even all of you would go to prison my Katie would lose one or all of you it would break her heart" Jim explained.
"But Mr, I mean Jim how do we stop him, he destroyed the tape your wife hid in Kate's elephants" Ryan pointed out.
"My Johanna was a smart woman I'm betting there is a copy of that tape hidden somewhere" Jim smiled
"Oh my God why didn't I think of that! When I'm working on a Nikki Heat novel I always back up my work in case my computer crashes or something" Castle exclaimed.
"We back up all our files at the precinct too especially after all those Tyson case files disappeared" Ryan nodded in agreement.
"Bro if what Kate's pops says is true we have to find that copy and make sure nothing happens to it" Esposito added taking another sip of beer.
"Thanks dad you may have just gave us what we need to stop Bracken for good this time" Castle smiled.
"No thanks needed we're all family here and family has each other's backs we'll look for that copy together" Jim said full of pride standing up hugging his son in law then he hugged Esposito and Ryan too .
Inside Kate smiled watching her father hugging her husband then her brothers; she didn't know what was going on but seeing the four men that meant the world to her bonding filled her with love and warmth maybe things would be okay after all.
