Forgiveness
The intervening time between the day of all hell breaking loose when Castle and Jake had been caught at the Old Haunt and the end of their time in hell had finally arrived; that made the guys quite happy. The morning after; Castle could sense the mood change in his wife. They were about to go get the kids from Martha when Beckett pulled Castle aside.
"What's wrong; Kate? We have to get the kids before they over stay their welcome."
"Nothing is wrong really."
"Then what is it?"
"I wanted to apologize for the other day. That was so out of character for me and you didn't deserve it."
Castle smiled somewhat.
"Forgive me; babe?" Beckett asked.
"Always."
Beckett smiled.
The duo shared a kiss. It wasn't long after the duo shared the kiss that it developed into more like it usually did.
It had been a very long time since they got to enjoy themselves. Beckett broke the kiss between them and she wasted no time unbuttoning her blouse to give her husband an idea of what she wanted to do.
"I see. We can be a bit late picking the kids up." Castle said.
The duo headed into their bedroom.
Castle was like a kid on Christmas morning. Beckett was just as pleased as Castle was.
About an hour or so later; once Castle and Beckett were put together and presentable, they went over to Martha's to retrieve their kids.
It was clear that Martha knew what kept her son and daughter in law. While the kids were gathering their things; Martha turned to her son and daughter in law.
"Did we have fun or what?" Martha asked.
Castle and Beckett quickly turned five shades of red as modesty took over.
"Door was open. Don't be an old maid. Nothing going on here that I haven't seen and done before."
"Don't be old maids." Martha said.
With that Castle and Beckett collected their kids and they returned home.
