"How was the supermarket?" he asked as she entered the nursery to see him putting Johanna's clothes away as she held their daughter in her arms, her eyes rolling as he stared at her. Walking over, he wrapped an arm around her as she continued to stare at him while Johanna continued to play with the bear that Kate was holding in one hand. "What happened this time? You didn't lose control of the trolley again and send it flying into one of those tin displays again?" he asked as she stared down at Johanna.

"Someone decided to pull my top down in the middle of the supermarket in front of a group of horny teenage boys" she commented as Rick laughed, stopping when Kate glared up at him. "It was so embarrassing Rick and she wasn't going to let go of my top for anything, it was a nightmare" she admitted as he leant forward and pressed a kiss against her forehead, his arms moving to take hold of Johanna as Kate sighed. Watching as he slipped Johanna into her cot, smiling as she began to wave her arms in her hair to reach up for the mobile of animals that was above her cot as he got onto his knees beside the cot.

"Look Jo, I love you and mommy loves you but her breasts are for my eyes only so no more showing them off to people, even though they are absolutely beautiful" he smiled to their daughter as Kate stood there shaking her head, a small laughing leaving her lips as he stood up and beamed at her. "I don't think she'll do it again".

"No she won't because you'll be the one doing the shopping from now on, at least with her around" she laughed, her arms wrapping around him as his wrapped around hers. "Anyway I never sent the trolley flying into the tinned fruit Rick; you did that when you got excited about a new brand of chocolate ice cream. We were lucky I was holding Johanna at that point because there would have been major problems otherwise" she explained as he shrugged, not wanting to remind her of all the facts that surrounded that event.

"We're getting married in just over a month Kate" he smiled as Kate nodded, her teeth sinking into her lip as she relaxed in his arms. "I can't wait to call you my wife, then we'll be a proper family" he admitted into her dark hair as she rolled her eyes.

"You need to get ready for tonight Rick, Ryan and Esposito will be here in a minute to take you out" she explained as he groaned into her hair. "You know you're looking forward to it really Castle. Male conversation, drinks and most likely a stripper because I know what those two are like" she commented, her tone changing as the word stripper slipped from her lips and she began to think about Rick around what would most likely be a very beautiful woman with alcohol in his system and two very childish men around him. ."Rick can you promise me you won't do anything stupid tonight?" she whispered her fear obvious as he ran his fingers across her cheek.

"Kate I'm not interested in any strippers, you know me better than that. Yes, there was once a time that I might have ended up taking things like that one step too far but I've met the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with and I'm not going to let anything get in the way of that" he explained, his lips pressing against the end of her nose as she smiled. "Anyway, I promise not to drink that much".

"Rick, it's supposed to be a party for you. I don't mind you drinking I just don't want to find out you did something stupid and it's all over the papers in the morning" she admitted as he nodded and sighed, keeping her close for a moment before realising he needed to get ready.

"Right I'm going to change now" he explained, slipping away from her quickly before leaving the room as she slowly turned to see Johanna staring at the mobile again, the smile growing on her face as she knelt down beside the cot and reached in to tickle her daughter's stomach.

XOXOXOXOX

"Drink, drink, drink, drink" Ryan and Esposito chanted as Rick attempted to down his beer in one, failing as he burst into hysterics and ended up pouring most of the drink down his shirt as Montgomery shook his head at the three men who were in hysterics. After finishing their fourth beer of the evening, they all smiled as Montgomery went to order more drinks.

"Right Castle, we need to have the talk" Ryan explained as the other detective nodded, surprising the writer as he saw the serious looks on their faces as well as the desperation to stop themselves from laughing at his own shocked face.

"Castle you're our friend, we trust you but we also know you" Esposito began as Ryan nodded in the background, Montgomery joining them quickly as he set their beers down on the table and sighed. "Look Castle, the rule is, if you hurt our girl, we will hurt you. That simple" the man announced as the other two detectives nodded quickly, the writer watching as they smiled at him.

"Don't forget Castle, we know how to hide a body well and if you were ever found we have Lanie to cover our tracks" Ryan commented, Esposito nodding as seriousness covered both their faces while Castle slowly nodded, feeling how serious they were and becoming slightly scared from the way the three men he was with were staring at him. "Kate's our sister so you hurt her, we hurt you" he repeated before taking his beer and holding it up. "To Castle and Beckett, for finally getting there" he smiled, the four of them cheering before laughing once more.

I'm not too happy with the scene between Rick, Esposito, Ryan and Montgomery but I thought it was better than the others I'd written. Anyway I hope you enjoy it and review because I do appreciate hearing from you.
