Feels Like Sunday Morning
Days later; things were quite perfect again. The kids were over the chicken poxs; so it was mandatory that they have a lazy Sunday together. It had been a bit of a tradition that Castle and Beckett started one time years ago after Johanna Martha had a cold for the first time.
So the entire family lounged around that day. Martha came over and periodically played the piano when her young grandkids pleaded with her too. Jake and Alexis came over too. Alexis was out of her cast and off of her crutches.
Johanna Martha was coloring with Alexis while Castle read Kat's favorite Disney story; Mary Poppins, to her. The boys were playing cops and robbers with each other.
Beckett was talking about baseball with Jake.
Eventually the day progressed and once again it was just Castle and Beckett. That night; Castle went the romantic route. After the kids were in bed and they had a bit of wine; Castle switched the music on and lit some candles. The song that played was Andrew Belle's In My Veins. It was their song. Their first dance from a decade ago.
Beckett couldn't help but smile when the lyrics rolled with the music. Castle pulled her into his arms after spinning her around for a second.
They danced throughout the song while it played. Even after the song stopped the duo kept dancing. It started to rain again. The rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning. The power went out; but that didn't stop Castle and Beckett at all.
Castle and Beckett kept on dancing by the candle light in the middle of the loft. Little did they know; but they had a little audience at one point. Their four scared kids watched on from one of the landings on the stairs. Kat and Johanna Martha smiled as they watched. The boys made grossed out faces as they watched.
A little while later the kids decided to be brave like their Mom and Uncles as they returned to bed with the storm continuing on outside. They didn't want to disturb their parents at all. More than anything the kids wanted their parents to have fun.
That was exactly what Castle and Beckett doing as they danced.
