Alexis and Meredith find out about Caskett.

"Mom?" Alexis was shocked to see her mother standing in the lobby of her building.

"Lexi Poo!" Meredith turned around, completely dolled up and exaggerated.

"What are you doing here?"

"What? No hugs for your mama?" She held out her arms, a huge smile on her face. Alexis went to return the hug, when Meredith stopped her. "Oh, watch the fur baby, it's new."

Alexis rolled her eyes, trying not to let her annoyance show. "Sorry."

"All good! What are you up to?"

"I haven't seen dad in ages because of classes, so I decided to surprise him and make breakfast for us."

"Oh great, let's go see Kitten!" Meredith looped her arm with Alexis' and pulled her to the elevator.

"Yeah, sure you can have breakfast with dad and me. Kinda like old times."

"That sounds great!" Meredith flipped her hair, pushing the up button to go see "Kitten".

"You know, Beckett, I have chairs for a reason." He faced her; she was sitting on the counter in the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, suddenly not worried about the chairs. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled, biting her lip. He leaned in slowly to kiss her until she stopped him.

"Castle, the pancakes." They both turned slightly to look at them, but then Castle refocused.

Between each kiss, he answered her concern. "Let. Them. Burn." He absentmindedly reached over and turned the stove off.

They were about to move to the bedroom, so engrossed in their morning activity, that they didn't hear the door open. "Hey, dad?" Alexis and Meredith stopped in their tracks, mouths hanging open and eyes wide.

"Kitten?"

"Meredith?" Rick turned around, completely stunned to see his daughter and ex wife. "What are you two doing here?"

"Well I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by." She shrugged her coat off, revealing a skin tight, red dress."

Beckett grabbed onto Castle a little tighter, unaware of what to do. She had heard all about Meredith, but never experienced the craziness first hand.

Alexis noticed their closeness and spoke next. "Dad, are you two?"

"Alexis, maybe we should talk." Castle motioned to the couch. He helped Beckett off the counter, lacing his fingers with hers and pulling her close. Meredith noticed and realized that they were serious, really serious. No more one nights anymore.

"How long have you been going out?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"A month." He looked at Beckett and back at Alexis.

"A month?" Alexis screeched, jumping a little. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Alexis." Beckett started.

"No, I don't want to hear it."

It was Meredith's turn for the dramatics. "Oh my poor baby." She pulled Alexis into a hug, trying to be the good parent for a change. "Why don't we go and have breakfast somewhere else. You two can settle this later." She pulled Alexis out of the room, leaving Castle and Beckett completely flustered.
