Tropical Mother's Day

The flight landed in Jamaica and the family had disembarked shortly after the wheels had hit the runway. When they had landed Mother's day had just started on the tropical island. There was also one other detail when it came to the trip. Martha and Alexis had surprised Castle when they arrived at the same departure terminal at JFK that they were at.

When the whole family was at the terminal and Martha noticed the dismay on her son's she decided to take on the task of putting him in his place.

"Richard; its Mother's Day and I'd like to spend some of the day with you. I earned that right all those years ago." Martha said.

"Okay, mother."

Castle wasn't going to argue with his mother.

"And I wasn't going stay home waiting for you guys to come back so I could wish mom a Happy Mother's Day." Alexis said.

"Alexis; you can spend Mother's Day with your mother. You just have to fly out to LA to see her."

Alexis just shook her head at her father before she answered him.

"I called my mother before we left. That was enough. I want to spend the day with Mom just like they get to." Alexis said as she pointed to her sisters and brothers.

"Fine."

Castle wasn't arguing with his daughter either.

Now as they relaxed on the beach after landing and getting settled in at the hotel; Alexis wrangled up her sisters and brothers for a moment.

The five of them stood before Beckett. They were lined up in age order.

"Happy Mother's Day, Mom!" the quintet shouted in unison.

The twins stepped forward away from their sisters and brother. Kat had a card that had all of their names in the card. JJ had a present that Alexis had picked out for them to give Beckett.

"Here you go; Mommy." Kat said as she handed the card to Beckett.

Beckett took the card out of the envelope, read the front of the card and then opened it to the middle.

Dear Mom, Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day

to the best person

we could ever ask for as our Mom

Love;

Alexis,

Johanna Martha,

Katherine Mae,

Jackson James

James Royce

Beckett smiled and then hugged each of her kids. As Beckett hugged the kids; Castle gave Martha the Mother's Day card he had gotten for her. Shortly after that Martha was following her daughter in law's lead.
