❝ I came to tend to one of my patients, Kyle Jennings. ❞ ❝ uh — Do you think that's such a good idea? ❞ ❝ I'll have you know — I'm perfectly capable of treating living patients, I simply prefer not to. ❞

Set during pregnancy with Lily

“Enter” Beckett called out as she heard a knock on her door.

She took a moment to finish the section of paperwork she was reading and added her signature at the bottom before looking up to give the latest visitor her full attention.

“Perlmutter?”

Beckett was a little shocked to see the medical examiner looking uncomfortable in the doorway.

She couldn’t recall any time when Perlmutter had stepped foot in the 12th in all the time she’d been here.

“What can I do for you?”

“Dr Parish informed me you were back at work,” Perlmutter shrugged. “I want to express my… my appreciation that you’ve recovered after your… ordeal.”

“Well, thank you Permutter,” Kate said, not really sure how to navigate this conversation. This was very out of character for the man in front of her, though for some reason he’d always been nicer to her than the rest of her colleagues she supposed. “I’m not really back, I’m just attending to some paperwork before my leave.”

“Yes, I’d… heard,” Perlmutter shuffled his feet a little and walked further into her office and looked at her for a moment and she watched his eyes, as most of her colleagues had today, drop to the bump. “I wanted to say congratulations, to you, and your writer. And give you this.”

She watched in shock as he pulled his hands from behind his back and placed a small stuffed bear on the table. “For the baby.”

“Oh, well, thank you Perlmutter.” She had no idea what was going on right now. This was very out of character.

“I really am pleased that you’re okay,” he told her sincerely. “And Castle. There… there are a lot of people who would have missed you greatly.”

And with that he seemed to have decided he’d said all he’d come to say and turned to leave, leaving a still shocked Beckett sitting behind her desk. She watched him through the blinds as he bumped into her husband and heard the gruff exchange as the medical examiner left and Castle came into her office.

“What did Perlmutter want?” he asked as he rounded the desk to drop a kiss to her lips and place her mug of tea in front of her.

“Lanie’s been gossiping,” Kate told him. “He bought a gift for the baby.”

“Perlmutter?”

“Yep.”

Castle looked as shocked as she’d felt, before kneeling on the floor and leaning down to whisper to his daughter. “You really are a miracle baby.”

(that didn’t happen but I will pretend they did) 

- Castle passing out flyers that say “Vote for Senator Beckett!” (because of “Time Will Tell” predictions)

 - Ryan, Jenny and Espo waving goodbye to Sarah Grace as she walks into her first day of preschool

 - Sarah Grace calling Esposito “Uncle Javi” and never knowing who Castle and Beckett are talking about when they say “Esposito” so they start calling him “Uncle Javi” all the time too

 - Alexis trying to decide between med school and law school before finally deciding to study medicine when she how Lou Karnacki concealed evidence during the events of “Law & Murder”

 - Alexis babysitting Sarah Grace before med school completely takes over her life

 - Esposito and Ryan both quickly becoming captains of their own precincts (because the laws in the showverse allow this?)

 - Lanie and Tory going out for drinks every Saturday (idk why it just seems like they might get along?)

 - Ryan going all Irish mobster on Espo while they are playing Madden

 - Beckett becoming Senator (once again, as per the “Time Will Tell” predictions)

 - Perlmutter being thrown a surprise retirement party (the suprise being the party, while he had been counting down the days until his retirement) and then being forced to stay there

 - Martha saying that she will move out every year but never doing so. Eventually she finally finds a place and is about to sign the lease when she decides not too because she does not want to break her “I’ll move but I won’t” streak

 - Castle and Gates bingewatching reality TV shows seperately and then, when they see each other, one of it casually mentions it, the other one notices, and then they spend the next hour talking about it

 - Castle replacing the Gemini dolls he broke after many years of searching and calling in many favors

 - Castle and Beckett being all cheesy and fluffy and stuff around Perlmutter to annoy him

 - Ryan and Esposito stumbling around the fact that they dated for about a year before Castle came along but no one else knows (except for Jenny, and all three of them laugh about it together)

 - Beckett teasing Castle about how he should base a book off of Ryan and Espo now that she is a Senator and not a cop
