12th Precinct
"So she's sick again?" Lanie had made her way up to the 12th floor every day for the last week to see Kate and every day since Castle left a week ago she was home 'sick' Espo nodded and Ryan gave her a concerned look. She sat down near the boys "what are we going to do Lanie? I mean she never takes days off and she won't answer her phone I want to go over but I don't know what to do." Espo was like an older brother to Kate, Lanie sighed "I don't know guys but I'm gonna go see her see how she is there's no dead bodies at the moment so I'll be back soon". Both men nodded as they watched the ME walk away.
Hampton's
It had been a week, a week where Castle had been stuck in his office finishing up his latest Nikki Heat book Naked Heat, Gina was driving him insane always going out and bringing strange man home every second night he had asked her to stop but she simply stated she would when he finished his novel. But the problem was he just couldn't concentrate all he could see was her face he needed to know what she was going to say before Gina came over, but then he remembered she had Schemming that made her happy. He just wished she would see how happy she makes him.
Beckett's Apartment
Kate had been curled up in her bed all week she couldn't believe that he had caused her this much heartache she felt like a complete idiot, the man probably didn't even know how she felt but when she saw Gina her heart just broke. What she would do just to see him but she knew she was too late.
She heard an irritable sound as she groaned getting up she chose not to answer it but the knocking wouldn't stop, "girl I know you're in there now open this door because I am not leaving" Kate knew that voice it was kind of hard not to recognize her voice, she moved to the door with out even checking how awful she looked she opened the door and in came Lanie "sure come in" Kate said sarcastically. "Uh uh don't get me started what the hell is going on girl?"
Lanie finally turned to Kate she saw her face it was red and blotchy like she had been crying literally for a week she let out a small gasp "Kate honey seriously what's wrong?" she walked over to Kate and walked her to the sofa. Kate just shook her head "it's nothing Lanie honestly it's just silly I mean I don't even…. It just doesn't make sense I shouldn't be this upset." Lanie pulled her in for a quick hug "you know you can tell me anything right?"
Kate nodded "I know it's just it doesn't make sense how can I have these feeling s when it's clear he doesn't I broke up with Demming for him and why I mean he went with her." Lanie couldn't help herself she had a smirk across her face, "oh I'm sorry didn't know this was a laughing matter Lanie" Kate was kind of offended by her friends reaction. Lanie shook her head and breathed in "look Kate, everyone can see that Castle likes you hell I wouldn't be surprised if he loves you" Kate screwed her eyebrows up "Lanie!" it sounded like a child whining, Lanie just cocked her eyebrow up at her "how can you even say that I'm a mess" Kate couldn't even speak up properly now.
She pulled Kate back in for a hug "oh honey trust me, there is no other woman he has eyes for sure he went with Gina but did he ever say they were back together?" Kate just shook her head in the crook of Lanies neck she mumbled something but Lanie wasn't sure what it was she said, "Did you just say…" Kate lifted her head up, "I think I might love him Lanie" Lanie tilted her head "Kate" she just shook her head "I'm so scared Lanie, what if… what if I…. I…. god Lanie what if something were to happen to him?" Lanie pulled Kate away so she was looking her in the eyes "listen to me Kate nothing will happen to him I know that you are scared to open your heart again after suffering from your mother's murder but it's time to open your heart you need to. I remember you telling me that you could never open up until you solve your mothers case and that you never want to disappoint her, you have got to be the strongest person I have met but sweetie trust me when I say this your mother would be so proud of what you have done how far you have come. I know I never got the opportunity to meet her but I know that she would want you to not forget her but to open your heart again Kate".
Kate's tears were flooding down her cheeks now Lanie was right she needed to be brave she needed to make her mother proud by opening her heart one more time for Castle, "what if he doesn't…" Lanie wiped the tears from Kates eyes she gave her the look Kate tried to smile but failed miserably "girl I'm sorry but do I have to slap you I mean come on how many cases did he really need to follow you for to get inspiration he wrote 20 books before he met you I'm telling you if that man didn't love you than we wouldn't be here talking because he would have lasted three cases top".
They both sat on the couch for a while Kate soon fell asleep she was exhausted Lanie couldn't remember the last time she had seen Kate this way it killed her to know how upset she was. Lanie got up and entered Kates room, she pulled out a suitcase it was dusty "girl you need a vaca!" she was talking to herself, she decided she was going to drive Kate to the Hamptons tonight she thought she better ring Espo just to get him to tell the Captain Kate will be out for a few more days and may need some holidays cashed in depending on how everything went, Lanie assured Espo that Kate would ring it all just settled on how everything progressed when she got to the Hamptons.
Lanie packed enough clothes for Kate for at least two weeks top, she decided to take down her luggage then she pulled the sluggish detective up from her couch, "wha-at are we going?" Lanie let out a soft giggle from Kates rambling. "To the Hamptons" Lanie knew that would wake her up Kates eyes just about popped out of her head, "what? No Lanie we can't I have work" Lanie turned "well it's a good thing I rang Espo isn't it?" Kate breathed in "I cant Lanie" Lanie took her by the hand to her bedroom "yes you can Kate I mean he is your one and done and I know you know it too you're just scared and that's okay but you need to do this. And if worse comes to worse and he says he doesn't love you or want you than fine at least you won't live with the regret of not knowing". Kate knew Lanie was right she fixed her hair and makeup and involuntary agreed to go.
