Chapter 3

They were halfway to the airport when Castle started to hear Beckett start to mumble the lyrics to the song currently playing on the radio so Castle leaned over and turned it up and smiled and Beckett by the time the chorus came something changed in Beckett and she was suddenly singing the song in a full voice. Castle was happy to just sit and listen to her beautiful voice. By the time the song was over Beckett turned down the radio and Castle suddenly missed her singing.

"Sorry that was one of my favorite songs." Beckett said with a slight blush tinting her cheeks.

"I don't mind I loved hearing you sing detective you have a beautiful voice." Castle said with a smile and when he turned to look at her she had her head down and her hair covering her face but Castle could still see her now more obvious blush now.

"Thanks, Castle" Beckett said quietly.

"Come on now Kate sing another song" Castle said trying to get her lovely voice going again.

"No" Beckett said when she looked up looking a little bit shy.

"You sure this song is a great one" Castle tried again.

"If its so great why don't you sing it" Beckett said back.

"Because my dear detective I do not want to ruin the song for you forever" Castle said with a smile on his face. At that Beckett let out a chuckle and then turned to look out her window for the rest of the ride.

When they got to the airport they done all the necessary things and after an hour of wondering began to board the plane in which Castle read and Beckett took a nap in which during turbulence her head accidentally fell on Castle's shoulder.

It was about 2 hours later when Beckett started to stir someone was calling her name.

"Kate" Castle was saying softly.

When Beckett finally fully registered what was happening she realized two things she was comfortable and she was also on Castle's shoulder and when she noticed this she quickly got off of his shoulder.

"Sorry" She said still a little tired.

"Don't worry about it I hope I suited all your pillow needs." Castle said with a smile and a small twinkle in his eyes.

Beckett smiled before asking "What's happening ?"

Castle let out a small chuckle before saying "we're here sleeping beauty" Castle said.

Beckett blushed a little before standing up and getting ready to leave.

Once they left they went to go get their things and then went to go and find Jim Kate's dad. They spotted the tall grey haired man when he shouted "Katie!" and then he started to jog towards him.

"Hey dad" Kate said and then dropped he stuff to give her dad a hug in which he picked her up and bit and Beckett let out a little squeal which Castle was not expecting.

"I'm so glad you came." Jim then noticed Castle standing behind Beckett leaning down to pick up her duffle bag "Nice to see you again Rick" Jim said holding out his hand.

"Hi Jim I would shake your hand but my hands are kinda full" Castle said lifting his hands a bit to show him the two bags. Jim let out a small chuckle and took Kate's bag and then held out his hand again this time Rick was able to shake his hand.

"Dad I can carry my own bag" Kate said and went to take her bag but before she could take it he moved it out of her reach.

"Nuh-uh Katie" Jim said then started walking away and to the car and Beckett huffed out a breath and then jogged to catch up to her dad and Castle.

When they got to the car it was a pick up truck which only had 3 seats and as always Beckett was in the middle squished between her dad and Castle although Kate would never admit it Kate didn't mind being this close to Castle. She didn't mind one bit.

After all the fuss of fitting the three of them into the car and Beckett pretending to be annoyed at being squashed in the middle they were off to her grandparents house and it was going to be a long week she thought.

A very long week.
