Ten Fold Repercussions
It wasn't long before Beckett was back at the loft. She was still highly pissed off at Castle. In the back of her mind; Beckett expected the worse when she walked in. Of course as she saw everything all over the place when she opened the door and walked in.
The pillows from the couch and arm chair were on the floor. Blankets were on top of the dining table chairs as a makeshift fort. All of the breakable stuff had been relocated. Light sabers were scattered on the floor just as all of the laser tag gear. The television and the music were on at full blast.
Shortly after walking into the bomb shelter; Beckett heard her kids and her husband barreling down the stairs. All five of them were filled with joy and exuberance.
Castle and the kids stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Beckett standing before them.
"Kids go up to your rooms… Now." Beckett said.
"But Mommy." the kids protested.
"Go up now."
With that the kids did as they were told.
"You didn't have to be so harsh with them; Kate."
"What the hell were you thinking with all of this?"
"We were just having some fun. No harm, no foul."
"Really cause; one of our neighbor's called the precinct with a noise complaint while I was on the phone with Gates."
"Sorry for disturbing you at work."
The fight between Castle and Beckett continued on; the kids were eavesdropping from their respective bedrooms. There was a bit of fear that came to them.
When the kids felt it was safe to come down from their rooms at least to midway landing on the staircase.
"It wasn't Daddy's idea to do all of this. It was ours. Be mad at us; not Daddy. He was just doing what we asked him to do."
With that the kids rushed back up to their rooms. Beckett found it cute that her kids were willing to take the blame for their dad. She saw the loyalty they had towards Castle; it was the same loyalty she had towards Castle since the day that they started working together all those years ago.
