Chapter 4th Santa's Sleigh A True Christmas Tradition
Beckett had received word from Social Services. Jason is going to be brought over to her address for the Loft. Two days prior to Christmas Eve.
He will be able to stay with them for four days. Before having to go back to the children's shelter as per the arrangement.
She was extremely about it. Along with Castle getting the text from his wife about Jason. Currently he was at one of the local book stores in New York city. He was reading from one of his older Derrick Storm books with the requests from his fans.
He didn't mine this at all. But when the text had come in. He was extremely happy Jason will be staying with them for four days. At least the boy will have some resemblance of a Christmas holiday. With everyone around him to enjoy it, as with his own son Reece.
But for now. Jason will be staying in Martha's old bedroom for the four days. Giving him the privacy to relax and sleep. He doesn't get that at the children's shelters being assign a single cot in a large dorm with the others.
Anything goes. Since everyone needs to watch their personal belongings very closely.
And when Castle was done with the readings. Afterwards he was asked to sign books of all of his book series. It would be afterwards he would head out to finish up last minute Christmas shopping.
All of a sudden he felt the excitement in the air with the holiday approaching. Including having Jason to stay the four days at the loft. He was even wondering on how Royal will take the boy being around. He will certainly find out soon. For when Jason shows up by the department of Social Services.
With finishing his shopping at the near-by mall. Castle was able to pick up something little special for everyone including Jason. A miniature Christmas Tree with Santa's Sleigh underneath with Rudolph leading the way.
He thought it would be some what cute and very special for the young boy. And no doubt it will make him feel part of the family and of the holiday especially.
When Jason arrived at the loft. The smile on his face had told the story on just how thrilled he was to be here. Including everyone else. And most of all Reece and even Royal.
The Black Lab went crazy over the boy with doing the same slobbering. As he does with either Reece or Castle. And when Kate saw this despite trying to hide the fact, she just hates it to have her cringe every time.
No matter.
He was here to relax and enjoy Christmas. With the Loft having been decorated to the hilt by everyone. Including the house keeper Royslyn having been working for the household for over 20 plus years.
Jason still wasn't talking. He was able to make certain sounds and with his hands as sign language. However it was fine with everyone including Castle. He was like a little kid himself at times. Making it only more magical at times. And it's one of the reasons Kate Beckett loves her husband in that particular aspect.
Including all of his special persona charms to add into the factor. For when it comes to his love for Beckett and their marriage.
The next few days was wonderful for everyone. Reece and Jason were having a ball with each other playing.
Castle and Beckett would be watching Jason at times. As if he was waiting for something to happen with the onset of Christmas Eve.
Just prior to going to bed to wait for Santa's arrival. Jason taking out the letter he wrote for Santa and placing it next to Reece's milk and cookies. For which he left for Santa and Rudolph once they are able to arrive.
