Chapter One

Kate's Point of View:

Kate's appartment, May 13, 4:59 A.M. Three days before Kate got shot.

"Kate!" Rick yelled.

Gun Shot. Rick tackeled me to the ground trying to save me.

"Kate, stay with me, Kate, I love you, don't leave me." Rick said, looking paniced.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...BEEP BEEP BEEP...BEEP BEEP BEEP

I sat up in bed, looking around to find the source of the noise, it was my alarm clock waking me up at five in the morning. I wish I could shake my bad dream off, forget about it, but I don't know what it means. I'll talk to Lanie, maybe she'll know what it means. But, first I have to take a shower, get dressed, and maybe, just maybe, I'll get to walk my morning walk without the Captain calling me with a case.

You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed,sing like a bird, dizzy in my head, just the thought of you can run me wild... My phone rang, Rick Castle, thats exactly what I need, to hear his voice when it's not laced in panic and concern.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Kate. How are you this morning?"

"Fine, thanks, but why are you up this early, I've called you at nine before and you weren't even awake?"

"I had an unsettling nightmare, that woke me up, and I can't get back to sleep."

"Oh, you had a bad dream?"

"Yep." He sounded tired.

"So did I." I said lowering my voice so maybe he wouldn't be able to hear me and I might be able to cover it up with something else.

"Really, what was yours about?"

"Nothing, my bad dream seems stupid in the light."

"Well, here, I'll turn off my lights, and you do the same, and then you can tell me."

I smiled, but did what he suggested, maybe he can help, but I deffinently WON'T tell him about the whole 'I love you' thing, not yet, anyway. "Okay, well, I don't know where we are but you, Espo, Ryan, and I are somewhere and I'm saying something and you see something off in the distance and then you yell my name, and theres a gun shot, and I know it was me who got shot, because Ryan and Espo had there guns drawen and looking for who ever shot at us and you're looking down and cradling me in your arms, telling me not to die."

"Oh, wow." Now he sounded awake and worried.

"Yeah, what was your bad dream about?"

"This might sound crazy." He started then paused.

"Come on, Castle, I told you mine."

"It was the same as yours." After he said that I was so shocked I almost dropped my phone.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"It sounds the same, I mean it might not+ be exactly the same, but really close."

"That is so..." I started

"Weird." he finished.

"Uh-huh."

"Daddy?" Kate hears Alexis, Rick's 4 year-old say.

"Hey, Kate, can I talk to you later, Alexis needs me."

"Sure, tell her I said hi."

"Kay, bye." Click.

"Bye, Rick." I whispered into the phone, though I knew he'd hung up already.

Rick's Point of View:

Rick's appartment, same day, 5:26 A.M.

"Hey sweetie, why aren't you asleep?"

"I had a bad dream, daddy, and it scared me so bad I can't sleep." Alexis almost cried.

"Come here," I held my arms out for her to crawl up in them, like she usaully does when she has a nightmare, or as she and Det. Kate Beckett refer to them as: bad dreams. Alexis crawled in my arms and I stroked her head as I usaully did, "What was your bad dream about?"

"Monsters, they killed you and Kate, and I tried to stop them but they wouldn't! And there was this..this.." Her voice rising as she got excited, "Big bang." She was sitting up in my lap and was looking at me with wide, sad, little eyes.

"Don't worry, no monsters are going to kill me."

"What about Kate?"

"They won't kill her, either, honey." I wraped my arms around her and pulled her close to me.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

She wiggled her head out of my arms so I let her pull back a little.

"Pinky promise?" She held up her tiny finger.

"I pinky promsie." I let her wrap her tiny pinky around mine.

"You know, if you break this pinky promise, your pinky will fall off. Yep it'll just fall right off." she bobbed her head up and down.

"Is that so? I've never broken a pinky promise before so I wouldn't know."

Alexis nods.

She gets up and starts walking out of his office, he follows her.

"Daddy? Do you want Kate as your girlfriend?"

"Kate and I are just friends."

"And thats all you want to be?"

"I'm..a..not sure."

Alexis stops walking, turns around and puts her hands on her hips, and slants her body a bit.

"You better not wait to long, beause she won't be single all the time, so you'd better tell her how you feel."

"And who told you that?"

"I saw it on tv, the guy waits to long the girl moves on."

I nod, "I'll tell her."

"Uh-huh." when she does that it kinda reminds me of the time Lanie, Esposito, and I were in the mourge and they kept insisting I felt something for Kate and I denied it and Lanie said 'Uh-huh'

"I will." No I will certainly not. Not yet, at least.

"I'll believe it when you two are dating."

"Well, just because I have feelings for her doesn't mean she has feelings for me."

"Trust me, she does, if you weren't blinded by love you'd see how she looks at you, everyone else sees it."

"Sees what?"

"How she looks at you!" She got excited so her voice got a bit higher, "If you weren't you, you'd see that she looks at you with love in her eyes."

"And you're sure about this?"

"You should listen to her, Richard, because even at such a young age she sees the love between you and Beckett." My mother says, leaning on the counter.

"So you see it too?" I ask.

"Yes I do, and I think that insted of waiting for her to make the first move that you should."

"Okay, let's stop talking about it, I'll figure something out later, right now we should eat some breakfast."

"I want waffles!" Alexis shouted.

"Then, we will have pancakes." I said.

"No, no, I want waffles!"

"Pancakes!"

"Waffles!"

"Pancakes!"

"Waffles!"

We argued and laughed the whole time.

"Okay, we'll have waffles."

"Yay!" Alexis cheered.

We went in the kitchen and I made waffles for the three of us.

Kate's Point of view:

Kate's apparment, later in the day, 7:13 P.M (It's supposed to be 7:13 at night, so I just wanted to let you know I did that on purpose. :) )

'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

stand a little taller

doesn't mean I'm lonely when im alone

what doesn't kill you makes a fighter

footsteps even lighter' I'm listening to Kelly Clarkson's song 'What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)' when Rick calls again.

"Hello?"

"Open your door."

"What?" Click. That jerk he hung up on me. I walk over to my door and find him standing their with pizza from Pizzahut.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Having diner with my partner."

"You could've called."

"I did."

"I mean before that."

"Well, is anyone here?"

"No."

"Okay, then do you want to have dinner with me?"

"What about Alexis?"

"She's at home with my mother and when I left them they were sitting on the couch, and Alexis was eating a pb&j."

"Okay."

"Then let me in."

"Okay." I move to the side to let him in, then after he starts to the table I close the door. "Why do you want to have dinner with me?"

"Because," he paused, I think he was trying to come up with an excuse for coming, though he doesn't need one. I'm happy he came, "we're friends."

"Alright, I'll buy that," I paused for a secound, maybe two, then add, "for now, but I'll be expecting a better excuse next time."

"It's not an excuse Det. Beckett." when he said my name he turned his head head to look at me, and I relized I was closer to him than I meant to get, and I looked into his deep beautiful light blue eyes, and relized I didn't mind being that close. I relized that I really, truley, was in love with the man standing next to me.

"Um... Sorry." I backed up giving him some space, while reminding myself that I had just broke off a realationship with my last boyfriend, Josh, a coulpe months ago, and didn't really want to start another realationship.

"I hope Josh won't mind me having dinner with his girlfriend."

That snaps me back to reality, "huh?"

"Josh, you boyfirend, I said I hope he doesn't mind me having dinner with his girlfriend."

"I don't think he should mind, I'm not his girlfriend anymore."

"Really, what happend? If you don't mind my asking."

"Ah..." do I tell him the turth or make something up? No, I'm going to tell him the turth, "It wasn't what I was looking for, and turns out, he wasn't my type."

He handed me a slice of pizza on a paper plate and poured two glasses of wine from a bottle he brought, wow my ideal date, cheese pizza and rasberry wine.

"Oh, so you broke up with him?"

"Ah... Yeah, kinda, I mean it wasn't like I didn't give it some thought first because he was a nice guy, but like I said it wasn't the realationship I was looking for."

"You also said he wasn't your type."

"Yeah, we were to much alike, there wasn't anything there to keep us together, we hardly ever saw each other, and it wasn't... I can't think of the right word."

"Exciting, daring, romantic."

"All of the above, and I felt like I couldn't be myself."

"How so?"

"I always felt like I had to wear make-up around him for him to think I was pretty, and I wouldn't walk around dressed like this," I moved my hands jestering to my baggy medium Coke-a-Cola t-shirt and baggy black shorts, like the kind of shorts basketball players wear, "when he was here. I just didn't feel comfy around him, unless I looked nice."

"Well, I don't know if this means anything, but I think you look beautiful."

I couldn't help it I smiled and started to blush, "Thank you, I feel more comfertable around you than I ever did while I was around him." right then his phone rang and that gave me my 'get out of jail free' card.

Rick's Point of View:

Kate's appartment, same day, a couple minutes later.

"Hello?"

"The monsters didn't get you, did they?"

"No, Alexis the monsters didn't get me."

"I hope they didn't get, Kate."

"No, I'm with Kate, now."

"Tell her I said hi, and to watch out for monsters."

"Okay," I told her then looked at Kate "Alexis says hi, and to watch out for monsters."

"Okay? Tell her I said hi." Kate said, I'll have to explain the monster thing to her later.

"Alexis, Kate says hi."

"Okay, bye daddy, I love you.

"Bye, sweetie, I love you, too." Click.

(the reason I did that is so you could read the phone convo)

Kate's Point of View:

Kate's appartment, same day, after the phone convo.

"Why did Alexis want you to tell me to watch out for monsters?"

"She had a nightmare that you and I were killed by monsters and she tried stopping them but couldn't."

"Oh, poor girl, she shouldn't have bad dreams like that."

He nodded.

A few minutes passed and we sat in silence watching Scooby-Doo Where Are You?

"You wanna know what I just relized?" I asked him.

"What?"

"It's Friday the thirteenth, and you, Alexis and I all had bad dreams last night."

"Thats weird."

"Uh-huh, I was just sitting here, and I remembered that it's Friday, then I started thinking about what day of the month it was then I relized it's Friday the thirteenth."

"Yeah, have you had any bad luck today?"

"Nope, you?"

"No, except that nightmare."

I nodded. Then again we sat, watched tv, and ate pizza in silence.
