“Hey Beckett! Welcome back.” He said greeting her with a hug,
“I’m here too” Rick said standing behind them,
“Welcome back Castle.” Ryan said shaking his hand,
“So what have we got?” Kate asked ducking under the yellow tape,
“Male, name is James McCall, 36, New Yorker, he works at some travel agency.” Ryan informed them as they walked over to the body,
“Kate!” Lanie called, “You look amazing!” She said hugging her best friend,
“Thanks Lanie, so um cause of death?” Kate asked looking at the body,
“Blunt force trauma to the head, done by that baseball bat over there.” She said pointing to a wooden bat covered in blood beside the victim,
For the first time ever, Kate was feeling a little queasy looking at the body,
“Right ok, any witnesses?” She asked Ryan,
“Nope but Espo is getting the CCTV footage from that camera over there,” He said pointing to a small silver security camera that was located on the side of a brick building.
“Right ok then, me and Castle shall go and check out the travel agency.” Kate said walking as fast as she could away from the dead body,
As soon as they got to the car Kate let out a big sigh of relief,
“What’s wrong honey?” Rick asked rubbing her back as the rested her head against the steering wheel,
“Just feeling a little queasy that’s all,” She muttered taking deep breaths,
“Does this happen often?” Rick asked,
“No never before it’s just the baby that’s all.” Kate said turning the keys to switch on the car.
“I can drive if you like?” Rick offered,
“No its ok, I’m fine now.” Kate said putting the car in reverse.
“Are you sure, you didn’t look ok, you were all pale.” Rick said concerned for his wife,
“I’ll be fine Rick seriously, now let’s go talk to the agency.” Kate said driving away from the crime scene.
The case was easy, it turned out to be the boss. McCall was going to give vital information to a competing company.
Such a stupid reason to kill someone over, Kate thought to herself as she drove home with Castle.
“Hey you ok, you seem awful quite?” Rick said as they parked the
“Yeah I’m fine, just thinking about our future.” Kate said locking the car as they walked into the building,
“Where do you see us in a year?” Rick asked as they stepped into the elevator,
“Well I hope to see a little baby Castle surrounded by people who love him.” Kate said pushing the button for the top floor.
“So do you want a boy or girl?” Rick asked,
“I want a boy.” Kate said without hesitation,
“Yeah me too, I mean it was fun raising Alexis but it would be nice to have somebody on my side, and something new for both of us.”
The elevator pinged and they stepped out,
“If we had a boy what would you call him?” Rick asked putting the key into the keyhole,
“Well can his middle name be Jim?”
“Defitetly!” Rick said throwing himself on the sofa,
“Ok and for a first name I was thinking maybe Charles or Charlie”
“Cosmo.” Rick muttered under his breath,
“No Rick,” Kate laughed, “I am not naming my child Cosmo!”
“Why?” Rick whined,
“Because it’s a silly name and he could get bullied!”
“No he would be the cool kid, Cosmo Jim Castle Beckett!”
“Fine it’s a suggestion but I still don’t like it.” Kate said heading over to the kitchen to make dinner,
“Ok then what about Jonathan?”
“Yeah maybe, you want sausages?” Kate asked looking in the fridge,
“Yeah sounds good,”
“I think we should just wait and choose closer to the time.” Rick suggested,
“Yeah, we don’t even know when it’s due.”
“Yeah should be sometime in April or May.” Rick said working it out.
The couple talked about the baby all through dinner and for the rest of the evening.
