Down Time
After Beckett was released from the hospital she had a lot of down time. Ryan and Espo were keeping her informed on the case she had helped with. Castle could tell that after a day or so Beckett would try to return to work. Keeping her from working was something no one was ever able to accomplish.
Beckett helped Castle with the kids on her first morning off of work. Castle would drop Johanna Martha and the twins off at school before he dropped by Black Pawn to discuss his next Derrick Storm graphic novel. James Royce would spend the time before his sister and brother came home with Beckett.
"Mommy, I have a question for you." James Royce said.
"Go ahead."
"How many more sleeps until you are all better?"
"42 sleeps." Beckett answered.
Beckett knew that the kids didn't like seeing her hurt or sick.
After breakfast was done and the kids was dressed; Castle left with JM and the twins.
"What are we doing today; Mommy?"
"I don't know. I can't do too much; sorry."
James Royce frowned.
"How about I see if Aunt Lanie can pick us up and we'll go to the playground."
James Royce brighten up some.
With that Beckett called Lanie up. Thankfully Lanie was available and she brought the duo to the playground. Once they were there; Lanie stayed with her friend and her friend's son just in case. James Royce ran around the playground as he was watched.
At one point the ice cream truck came around and Lanie went to get ice cream for everyone.
