Test
It was time for the true test once Beckett left for work. It was just Castle and the kids. After the kids had breakfast; Castle's hands were full as he helped each one of the kids get dressed. Castle had to take Johanna Martha and the twins to school before he was able to spend some Dad and son time with James Royce.
So as Castle was helping the kids get dressed; a smile came to his face.
"Nope. Nebula – 9."
"Really?"
"Mmhmm."
"I'm sorry, but how is Nebula – 9 worthy of all of this? I mean, they were canceled over a decade ago after 12 episodes. Which was 12 episodes too many."
"I thought you would be a fan."
"I'm a fan of good sci – fi. Star Trek, Battlestar, that Joss Whedon show. But Nebula – 9? No, no. That's all phony melodrama and lifeless acting."
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
The calls from the kids snapped Castle back to reality.
"What's so funny; Daddy?" Kat asked.
"Oh it's nothing sweetie; daddy was just remembering something with mommy."
"Oh okay."
"Why don't you guys go grab your shoes?"
"Okay daddy."
The kids ran off to get their shoes. Johanna Martha put her shoes on as the twins put theirs on. Once Johanna Martha had her shoes on she went to help her baby brother. Castle found it absolutely adorable so he snapped a quick picture and sent it off to Beckett.
After that the collective left the loft to take Johanna Martha and the twins to school. Once they were dropped off; James Royce was really excited. They were heading to playground.
As Castle and James Royce walked up to playground equipment; the picture of him walking to the playground equipment with Alexis when she was her brother's age. On the walk over to the equipment; Castle had asked one of the other patron's to take picture of them. He had a picture with Johanna Martha like the one that was being taken. He also had one with Kat and one with JJ. It would have been easier to do a picture of him going to the playground with the twins together; but he and Beckett made the promise to treat Kat and JJ as individuals.
