A Good Story
A few weeks later; Beckett was relaxing on the couch while the kids played and Castle made dinner for all of them. Shortly after Beckett had gotten home from work that night she had gone in to Castle's office and pulled down his copies of all the Nikki Heat books from the shelves. She had set the books on the coffee table when she returned to the living room. After she got settled she picked up Heat Wave. Beckett wanted re-read the books.
Sometime into reading the first Nikki Heat book; one of the kids came over to Beckett.
"What are you reading, Mommy?"
Castle heard the inquiry from the kitchen.
"Well baby; I'm reading a story." Beckett answered as she set Heat Wave down and placed her child on her stomach.
"Who's the story about?"
"Me and Daddy."
With that Castle let the food cook as he came over to where Beckett and the kids were. The rest of the kids also came over.
"These books are our story."
"But your names aren't Nikki and Jameson."
"Your names are Mommy and Daddy."
"No their names are Kate and Rick."
Castle and Beckett shared a smile when it came to their kids.
"That is very true. Daddy wrote these book and changed the names."
"Oh."
After that the kids went back to playing before they had to wash up for dinner. Before returning to cooking; Castle kissed his wife on her head before she picked up Heat Wave.
"I like our story." Castle admitted once again.
"Me too."
"Always…"
"Always babe."
With that Castle went back to the kitchen as Beckett picked up Heat Wave.
