Castle Ficlet: Positively Inspired 1/1
Positively Inspired (What Happens in AC verse)
Her son wiggles in her arms, pressing his little toes against her belly as he attempts to push himself higher over her shoulder.
“Someone’s squirmy this morning.”
Beckett huffs a laugh, shifting her hand to cradle her baby’s head, listening to him coo. “This time it’s not on me; he just woke up in a good mood, I guess.”
Castle’s lips lift as he leans over and touches his lips to their son’s temple. “He’s an explorer,” he says easily. “An investigator at heart; you can just tell by the way he’s checking out the beach over your shoulder.”
“Is that right?” she coos, smooching the baby’s cheek. “Are you looking for clues on the beach, baby?”
“Watching for the sea monster, maybe,” Castle says, rubbing a finger over Thomas’s chin. “Is that what you’re looking for, buddy?”
Kate grins. “Still planning that children’s book, huh?”
Her husband dusts a kiss to her shoulder, pressing his smile to the gauzy fabric of her dress. “Oh, I’m not just planning. I’m positively inspired. I even have my setting and my main characters already. The perfect, handsome hero and his brilliant parents.”
He winks at her good-natured eye roll. Of course he would say that.
“Uh huh. Write it and we’ll talk, Rick.”
