Beckett's Sister: A Castle AU Fanfiction

Chapter 37

The wedding went off without a hitch. Kris had to keep herself from doubling over in laughter when Castle saw Kate in her wedding dress. The minute the writer caught sight of his muse walking down the aisle, Kris was sure his eyes were going to bulge out of their sockets. Esposito had to grab his shoulder to keep Castle from running down the aisle toward Kate.

The couple decided to write their own vows which left pretty much everyone in tears, Kris included. When the preacher finally pronounced the couple husband and wife, Kris let out a loud whistle when her sister grabbed Castle and kissed him. Kris couldn't help but seek out Russo in the crowd, grinning to herself when he gave her a wink.

After the ceremony was over and what seemed like a million pictures were taken by the photographer, the wedding party made their way to the dining tent. All of the guests were already seated at their tables with drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The crowd erupted into cheers when the newly wedded couple's entrance was announced by Kris's DJ. After the wedding party took their seats, the catering staff began to serve the entrees.

"Thank fuck, I'm starving." Kris said as she settled into her seat and took a drink of the water in front of her. She could feel Kate's glare from across the table which she just answered with a smirk.

Kris let out a sinful moan when the waiter set a steaming plate of lobster and mashed potatoes down in front of her, along with a glass of chardonnay.

"Damn baby, I thought only I made you do that." Russo chuckled beside her.

"I ordered that special for you, Cricket. Flown in fresh from Maine this morning." Castle grinned widely at his sister-in-law. "I know how you love fresh lobster."

Kate thought Kris was going to cry when she stared at the writer with wide eyes.

Kris cleared her throat as she speared some lobster onto her fork before she replied "I knew I liked you for a reason."

The waiters and waitresses cleared everyone's plates away and refilled drinks. Guests started milling around, congratulating the couple on their nuptials. The DJ announced that it was time for the couple's first dance as husband and wife. Castle stood and took Kate's hand as he led them to the center of the tent and the makeshift dance floor.

Castle pulled Kate close as the chords to Lonestar's "Amazed" began to play. Kate wrapped her arms around Castle's neck as he put his arms around her waist and they began to sway to the song.

Kris watched in awe as her sister and Castle became lost in their own world, oblivious to everyone else. Kris never thought in a million years that she would see the day her sister found true happiness. She remembered how hard Kate used to be and how she spent every waking hour devoted to their mother's murder. It fascinated her how Richard Castle had swooped in and completely changed her sister's life. She found herself smiling and crying tears of joy for the couple.

As the song ended, Castle pulled Kate into him and they lost themselves in a deep kiss as the crowd around them clapped and whistled. The couple just laughed, clearly not the least bit embarrassed by their actions.

As the DJ changed the music to a faster beat, Kate and Castle made their way back over to their group of family and friends. Espo handed Castle a beer and gave him a wide smile and clap on the back.

"Well man, I guess you're officially off the market for good now huh?" The Latino laughed. "One woman for the rest of your life."

Castle grinned broadly as he watched his wife now talking animatedly with his mother and daughter. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Kris and Lanie were breaking it down to "Cotton Eye Joe" on the dance floor when Martha approached them.

"Kristina dear, have you seen your sister or my son? It's time for them to cut their cake." Martha said as she took a swig of her champagne, looking around for the couple in question.

"Ah hell." Kris shook her head. "I'll see if I can find them."

Kris headed out of the tent, muttering to herself, having a good idea where her sister and brother-in-law were.

"I have been dying to get you out of this dress since I first saw you walking down the aisle." Castle said with a huff as his back hit the wall of the pool house.

"I knew you'd love it." Kate moaned as Castle trailed kisses down her neck.

The couple were eagerly pulling at each others clothes when they heard pounding on the other side of the wall.

"Hey horn dogs!" Kris called from outside of the pool house. "You can consummate your marriage later. It's cake time!"

Kate threw her head back on a growl. "I hate my sister."

"No you don't." Castle laughed as he picked his suit jacket up off the floor. "I guess we should get back. It is our party after all."

"Fine." Kate huffed as she adjusted her dress and started to exit the pool house before turning back to Castle with a sexy glare. "But tonight, you better not plan on leaving the bed. I packed my handcuffs just in case."

Castle rubbed his hands together like a giddy little kid as he followed her out, anxious for the evening to be over so he could finally have his way with his new bride.
