Disclaimer: I wish Castle belonged to me unfortunately Mr Marlowe is the lucky one in this situation!
"It's really hard for me to put this into words, to tell you how much I love you. How i will always be thankful that you waited for me. Words are your speciality,I merely rely on facts. The fact is that you Richard Castle are it for me, my one and done. I've never outwardly searched for love but five years ago I arrested you and my life changed for the better. You were the thorn in my side but as the years flew you by you became my best friend. You saved me from the darkness and for that I will be forever grateful. So on this slightly damp and drizzly day I pledge to always come home to you, because Rick to me you will always be my home"
As the screen turned to black tears ran down his face. A crumpled piece of paper hit the empty bottle of scotch on the floor. Six months ago he pledged his life to her, she promised she would always come home to him. 2 weeks ago she never came home. One stupid mistake. One stupid mistake and his future was gone, in that one minute the love of his life was ripped away from him.
He reached for the note that had previously hit the floor. He slowly re-read last few words he had left of her.
"Rick, just ran down to the precinct some last minute paperwork needed to be finished. Then I'm all yours all weekend! I'll see you in a bit daddy! Love you xx"
A baby. She was pregnant. One stupid minute. He
was supposed to be a father again and in that moment his home was gone forever.
AN: Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this I really appreciate this, I know it's slightly angsty hopefully the next one will be less so!
