Even better, Castle and Esposito, with Castle showing off his mad Daddy skillz on diapers and such--and then both of them losing her.

Add in Beckett being not-that-comfortable with babies (despite expectations, since she's a woman and all) and being in on trying to keep Ryan from finding out, and I'd watch it every day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh, it would tick me off, because I hate the "I a woman in a man's world, I don't get woman things" stereotype. It's okay if she doesn't care, or Castle is better, but I'd hate if she was unsettled.

Yeah, it'd be funnier if she was really good with the baby and trying to hide it, so as not to get saddled with sitter duties. Castle would definitely be flaunting the skills and sharing stories with the Captain (I do love the Captain).

“Not dead yet!”
I'm with ita and Connie. I bet that Beckett would be good with kids and would be completely exasperated with the guys in that "What? Just because I'm a cop you think I can't handle babies?" And it could lead to a lovely scene where she's being affectionate with a baby and the guys totally eavesdropping. I could just see the range of expressions on their faces from awe to bemusement to knowing to adoration. (Y'all can figure out which expression would belong to which player.)
And I'm totally laughing at all of us, giving Ryan a baby before he's even gotten married.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I thought Ryan was already married! I guess i missed the "not married" aspect to the whole honey-milk thing.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I loved Castle's indignation at what was being done to his character and script.

I was kind of surprised that an author as successful as he is wasn't given/didn't demand some sort of creative control.

Isn't it rare that an author who's not doing the screenplay would get that? I ask because I seem to hear about it in a way that implies it's the exception. Unless he's Dan Brown and not Alan Moore.

Isn't this the first movie of one of his books? He may not have enough Hollywood cred to demand input.
