The Blame Is On Me
The expression on Castle's face as he looks up serves all the confirmation she needs. This thing with her and Castle has never been easy, but none of them need this added stress.
Beckett has crossed the the line, he never thought she would do anything like this, but the universe seems to enjoy testing the both of them.
"What did you say Castle?" She demands an answer from him, he's going to tell her exactly on what is on his mind as her husband.
"Everything you're thinking Kate, you're only doing this because of trying to find the answers in regard to Loksat, however with you having a child, it's been this way, if anything you should be thanking me, I did you a favor."
"True I am having a baby, but it's not going to stop me from doing my job Castle." She's never been this infuriated in her life, she's not even sure she can respond to him without drawing the attention of the entire precinct. They are hollering at each other from inside of her office.
"You did me a favor?" She spits the words out as she takes a step towards him. She goes to slap him in the face to have him hopping mad."Is that how you are justifying this to yourself, what the hell are you thinking Castle, this is my my life?" With that speak once again that keeps coming back right into his face.
"Bull crap Kate, this time their is a life involved that warrants from you to stop your investigation all together with Loksat, the man is out to kill you out right, only when you can continue on with this stupid nonsense of yours."
"Castle, I am sorry that I wasn't honest with you from the very beginning about my feelings, for when it comes to this file of his, I can't let it go right now.
Castle is on his feet, and moving towards her now. She's not sure what to do, not sure what he is about to do.
While Ryan, Esposito and all of the others are steering clear of her officer for now.
"Kate, please, don't do this, don't walk away from me, Alexis and the baby, we are good together as a whole, we can be even greater, stop lying to yourself and let it go, I have already done the hard part, the rest is easy." He says.
He's right in the front of her now, inches from her face, and before she can register what he is going to do his lips are grazing hers.
She pushes him back before the kiss deepens, using more force she intended. The door juts into his back, an his eyes widen in surprise, and hurt. And then it's her turn to be in Castle's face. She then decides to tell him.
"All right Castle, you have my promise and approval, I won't be going after him, only if I am provoked." She steps in to kiss him really hard to catch him off balance.
She tells him in his ear. "We need to finish this at the loft Rick." This is her fault and she will make it up to him.
"Very well then, I will see you later at the loft." He walks out looking back hopefully she was telling him the truth or is taking the blame still for having left their marriage the first time around.
/
Three days later that wasn't the case, for when Loksat finally did go after both Castle and Beckett in a shoot out, but it was later at their loft when Celeb Brown broke in to shoot the both of them, but it was Kate having to be able to take Brown down with her weapon, before dropping on the floor to crawl over to her husband.
