So it's a small chapter but there will be more soonish. I won't have internet access for a week since i'm off on holiday but as soon as I'm back there will be another chapter posted.

Disclaimer: I don't own Castle but I do own this chapter.


"So how do you feel about inviting your dad over for dinner at the weekend?" Castle asked Beckett as she sat at her desk.

"I'll check with him tonight." She said turning to face him.

He smiled slightly and nodded ."Okay. I was just thinking that we could have a family meal. Tell your dad, my mother and Alexis together."

"Sure that sounds good." She smiled at him and then turned back to her computer. She let out a small yawn and stretched slightly.

"You okay Beckett?" He asked a little concerned.

"I'm fine, just haven't been sleeping well the past couple of days."

"Why?"

"If I knew that I'm sure I would have been sleeping better by now." She looked at him. She saw the look of sadness come into his eyes and sighed. "Sorry."

"Don't worry. I guess if you're going to be sticking around I'll need to get used to it." He grinned slightly and she just looked at him.

"I really don't know how I'm going to cope with you."

"Likewise." He shot back at her.

"I may have to reconsider moving in with you."

"I'll be good." He immediately went quiet. She smirked to herself and went back to her work.

"Hey Ryan?" She asked as he looked up.

"Yeah Beckett?"

"Can you send me your reports for the Phillips case?"

"Yeah sure."

She smiled gratefully at him before picking up one of the pens from the side and picking up one of the folders from the stack currently taking up residence on her desk. Castle to her surprise remained quiet and sat staring at her only taking his eyes off her to answer his messages. After receiving what must have been the tenth one she spoke.

"Who are you texting?" She inquired.

"Hmm…" He looked up. "Oh nobody."

"Well you seem to be having an in depth conversation with them."

"Not really." He shrugged it off. "Are you free tomorrow? He asked changing the subject.

"I have work as usual. What time?"

"How about your lunch break?"

"I guess so." She was getting confused by why he was asking her these questions.

"Perfect, I've spoken to a friend of mine he says that he can fit us in for an appointment tomorrow."

"For what?" She was still as confused.

"To check everything is going fine with the baby." He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I said I was going to get you the best and he's the best I know."

She nodded her head. "Fine, but you can remember to bring lunch if it's goes over."

"Of course." He grinned ."I know what a cranky Beckett is like."

She rolled her eyes at him before going back to doing more paperwork. A few minutes later Castle stood up and told her he would be back in a few minutes, he headed towards the elevator leaving Beckett once again stunned.

"Where's Castle going?" Esposito asked, hearing the elevator.

"I have no idea." She shrugged and picked her phone up. She sent her dad a quick message saying that she was going to give him a ring tonight.

To his word Castle was back in a few minutes holding two cups, she let out a slight laugh. She then felt her body tingle as she realized he had gone out of his way to get her a drink. It was a small gesture but she knew that it meant so much more. Castle was willing to do anything and everything for her. He set the cup down in front of her and sat in his chair.

"I figured you were going to be thirsty so I got you a drink." He smiled.

She reached out and took the cup gratefully. "Thanks." Taking a small sip she let out a satisfied sigh and placed it back on her desk.

"And it's decaf so you don't have to worry."

She then came to realize she liked seeing the caring side of Castle. Not that she hadn't seen it before, but he seemed to be increasing his efforts to please her.

"You really are sweet Castle."

"Well I have to try. I don't want you finding a younger model and trading me in."

"I don't think you need to worry about that." She looked at him. "For now anyway."

He laughed slightly and then took a sip of his coffee. "Well if that's the case I may need to look for a younger model."

She raised her eyebrows at this, he saw this and held his hands up. "Kidding. I was kidding."

"That's right."
