Learning Experience
When they got back up to the rooms; Castle and Beckett filled the kids in on Jackson while explaining everything to Jim and Jake. Alexis stayed neutral unlike her grandmother.
"Jackson." Martha said acknowledging her ex.
"Martha; you're as beautiful as ever."
Martha just glared.
"Jim Beckett; Kate's father, nice to meet you." Jim said.
"Like wise. Your daughter is quite good at her job and she's a wonderful person. You and your late wife did well with her."
Beckett rolled her eyes in disgust somewhat as she protectively stayed with the kids; Alexis included.
Jake made his way forward.
"Jacob Bausch; sir, your granddaughter's husband."
"Nice to meet you son."
Beckett was still guarding her five kids just as Martha was guarding her son.
"So what's the plan for today?" Jackson asked after the pleasantries were out of the way.
Before anyone could say a word; Johanna Martha, the twins and James Royce stepped away from their mother's protection.
"Happy Father's Day; Grandpa." the kids said in unison.
"Thank you."
"Come here kids." Beckett urged.
"Happy Father's Day." Alexis uttered.
After that Beckett and Castle went to change out of their beach wear.
"Keep an eye on them." Beckett said to Martha.
"I will; darling."
It was clear that Beckett didn't trust Jackson.
A few minutes later; Castle was sporting Bermuda shorts and one of his vacation shirts much like his father in law and his son in law were. JJ and JR were in shorts and tank tops while their three sisters sported sun dresses like their grandmother and mother had. The group of ten that had expanded to a group of eleven then went to go on a tour of the island. Castle and Beckett wanted the kids to learn a little something while they were on vacation in Barbados. During the tour both Martha and Beckett kept one eye the kids and the other on Jackson.
