This is based during season 4 and Beckett is dealing with her PTSD.

Disalimer : I don't own any of the characters you recognize.

Enjoy !

It was a Monday when she received an invite to her family reunion. She hasn't been to the last 3 reunions there every 4 years and Beckett is conveniently busy every year except this year her Dad who apparently had enough of her constantly missing the reunions contacted the Captain and told her about her habit about missing the family reunion. Apparently the infamous Captain Gates is a family person and practically ordered Beckett to take the week off needed to go to the family reunion and if she isn't there she will no because now she has her father's number.

It was 10:30am and Beckett was only working till 12:30 she told Castle to not come in because he was only working a half day.

However Castle must have thought differently because 5 minutes later he is walking through the door with two coffees in hand and a bear claw.

"Castle I thought I told you not to come in today" Beckett said looking up when Castle put her coffee and bear claw on her desk.

"Well you see my dear Detective" Castle began "I wasn't going to come in until I got a phone call form someone very dear to you" at that Beckett's head snapped up "your father called me it turns out that you have a family reunion to go to tonight." At this Castle began to smirk at her.

"He didn't" Beckett said her eyes growing wide.

"He did. Kate Beckett i'm going to Texas."

Beckett put her head in her hands and let out a heavy sigh.

This was going to be a long week.
