Disclaimer : Castle is not mine.

It was 6pm when the Beckett's went inside to have hot chocolate and watch a movie, at this point Castle realised just how many people were in the Beckett family.

Castle looked around the crowded room and saw Beckett in the kitchen helping her dad with the large amount of hot chocolate they were making whilst listening to the radio there was also a youngish look boy with brown hair like Kate's talking to her.

"Hey" Castle said quietly.

"Hey Castle" Kate said.

Castle saw the young boy shrink back a little at that moment Castle concluded that the boy was shy.

"Oh Castle this is Tommy, Tommy this is Castle." Kate said.

Tommy waved a hand "Hi" he said quietly. Yep definietly shy Castle thought.

"Tommy this oldie here is my partner at work" Beckett said with a smile.

"Real-" Castle began to say but was cut off by Tommy.

"Really aunt Kate because I'm pretty sure there is only about a 5 year difference and wait is that a grey hair I see." Tommy said with a joking smile.

Beckett fained hurt and replied "Tommy you have betrayed me to this one" Beckett said waving a hand in Castle's directone who was just stood there with a genuin smile on his face.

"It's time i go with my people" Tommy said looking down and struggling to hold back his smile.

"I'll show you my people" Beckett said before tickle tackling Tommy who tried to run but wasn't fast enough.

"Castle help" Castle heard between gasps of breath and laughing.

Castle walked up behind Beckett and simply placed his hands on her sides and began tickling her she immediately let go oh Tommy to start laughing hysterically and trying to get away away from Castle.

"Castle...Castle...Please..." Beckett said tring to catch her breath.

When Castle finally stopped tickling her she turned around only to find his face mere inches from her they locked eyes and they were suddenly caught in the moment staring. They were pulled out of the moment by a cough coming from behind them. They jumped back like they had been burned and quickly turned to the person who brought them out of it.

"So, Katie wonna tell me who your new friend is" said a tall man with grey hair.

Behind them thet could see Jim trying to stiffle a laugh and Tommy with him.

"Uhh, Uncle Donnie this is my parntner Richard Castle, Castle this is my Uncle Donnie" Beckett said with a noticable blush forming on her cheeks.

"What kind of parnter Katie ?" Donnie said obviously enjoying embarrasing her.

"Work!" Kate exclaimed going even redder. Beside her she could see Castle obviously enjoying her embarrasing her.

"Donnie come on leave the poor girl alone" Jim said stepping into the kitchen "But if you guys are done making lovey eyes in my kitchen you should go get ready for the movie marathon out there" Jim said with a laugh when he mentioned the lovey eyes.

"Da-ad" Kate said going red again.

"Go go I have hot chocolate to make." Jim said shooing them out of the kitchen.

Kate started off down the hall to her room and Castle followed her obviously not knowing what to do. when they got to their room Kate seemed to have just realised that Castle was following her.

"Castle what are you doing you are not watching me change." Beckett said pointing to the door.

Castle looked like a deer in the headlights.

"Where should I go" Castle asked obviously not wanting to sit alone in a room full of strangers.

Beckett felt sorry for Castle and said gently "Wait outside the door and wait for me to tell you can come in" doing as Beckett said he waited until he heard her call him in.

Castle got his pajamas out but not before taking in what Beckett was wearing she was wearing a white tank top with pajama bottoms with winnie the pooh characters on at this Castle smirked.

"What Castle you can't say you don't love winnie the pooh" Beckett said. Castle shrugged and continued getting his pajamas out of his bag.

"Uhh Beckett is it alright ig I get changed in here" Castle asked timidly.

Beckett looked at Castle through the mirror which she was doing her hair in and nodded.

Castle turned so he wasn't facing Beckett and proceeded to get changed when he took his shirt off Beckett looked at him though the mirrow only to se long ans old scars going down his back. Beckett sucked in a breath and upon hearing this Castle turned around only to see Beckett looking at him except now she had turned around and was now facing him and she could see what seemed to be cigaret burns and a few scars but also a few tattoos.

Castle hurriedly put his shirt on and turned to leave but was forced to stop when Beckett stood in front of the door looking up at him. Castle refused to meet her eyes.

"What happened Castle ?" Beckett asked gently.

When Castle finally met his eyes his face was blank.

"Cas-" Beckett began to say but was cut off by castle.

"I don't wonna talk about it" He said and tried to get to the door again but was once again stopped.

"Kate please let me out" Castle said and Beckett could see he was nearly in tears and she opened her arms and Castle stepped into them and started crying letting out heart renching sobs.

When Castle was finally done crying Beckett hekd out her hand and said "Come on Castle we're holding everyone up" She said and tugged him out of the door Castle tugged her back a bit to grab his jumper.

"Castle your going to be bboiling in that" Beckett said as Castle pulled the jumper over his head and shrugged in response.
