Plot summary: How Hard will Rick and Kate fight for a Love so strong, that took so long to find? What happens when one of them is in an accident and doesn't remember everything about themselves? Will they fight or will they give up?
Detective Kate Beckett sat at her desk quietly doing paperwork, when she heard two men approaching her desk, without even looking she knew who they were. "Hey guys, care to help" she asked fellow detectives Ryan and Esposito, "we're good thanks" they simultaneously answered. Instead of heading back to their desks, like Beckett had expected, they both stood there staring. "What do you want" she asked, clearly frustrated by their constant staring. "Nothing, we were just wondering where your Writer-boy is" Esposito replied in a cheeky tone, a tone she was unsure of. "My Writer-man? What's that supposed to mean", clearly trying to act innocent, "ohh come on Beckett, we know about the two of you, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's going on between you both."
Clearly taken off guard that they had figured it out, yet not wanting to admit that she finally, after four long years, took the next step with Castle, the man she secretly (or not so secretly to her friends) loved. "What are you both implying" she asked, seeing denial as the only way to try and continue to keep it hidden from her Captain Gates. "You and Castle are so getting your freak on with each other; come on you can tell us". Keen to get off the topic, she quickly replies "don't be ridiculous, nothing is going on between Castle and me." Ryan and Esposito clearly amused at her denial both replied "hmm mm it sure looks like it." Thankfully for Detective Beckett, her phone rang and as she sprang to answer it, Esposito whispered to her "this conversation isn't over."
"Beckett"… "Yes this is she"…"What!" By now both Ryan and Esposito wiped their clearly noticeable smirks off their faces, and replaced it with concern." Where … Is he ok", hearing the stress and concern in their friends voice, only deepened Ryan and Esposito's' concern. "I'll be there soon" she then hung up the phone and looked straight at her colleagues, unaware of the tear that was crawling down her left cheek, with concern plastered on their faces, she quickly answered their unsaid question " Castle….. Hospital… Hurt." When they both understood her barely audible message, they looked over to Beckett, who was in a state that they had never ever seen before, they were uncertain as to what was going on through her thoughts, but they had a rough idea. "Beckett" Javier Esposito said from beside her still body. "Beckett what happened to Rick, is he ok, where is he" Kevin Ryan continued, still no response. "BECKETT!" Javier yelled, suddenly catching Kate's' attention, tears escaping her eyes with worry and shock plastered on her face.
"Kate, is he alive" Ryan asked kindly, after receiving a feint nod from Kate, Esposito continued, "Where is he?" a few seconds of silence later, Kate finally spoke up " He's was just been brought into Lutheran Medical with severe stab wounds to his chest and bruises, he was attacked." A few seconds later another tear escaped as she quickly reached for her jacket heading for the elevator, "we will call Martha and Alexis, then we will meet you at Lutheran" Esposito yelled, getting a nod and a "Thank you" in reply.
When Kate finally arrived at Lutheran Medical emergency area, she still had tears escaping her eyes and worry for her partner and not-so-secret boyfriend. She then walked up to the front desk flashing her badge, she asked the nurse " Richard Castle was brought in her with… stab wounds to the chest, I would like to know where he is, please will you tell me, I need to know." With tears still streaming down her face, the nurse answered "Mr. Castle is in surgery, you can take a seat in the waiting room and I shall point the doctor in your direction once he comes out, he will be ok" the blonde nurse giving Beckett a kind yet sympathy filled smile as she directed Beckett towards the waiting area. "he will be ok, and I shall tell you if I hear anything" the nurse added before tapping Kate's shoulder and walking away leaving Kate alone with her thoughts and worry for her boyfriend, the man she loved, but most of all her 'one and done'.
Ryan and Esposito had just shown and spotted Kate with her knees up to her chest and her head resting on them, and tears still streaming. They both slowly approached their beloved friend, each sitting on either side of her and placing one of their hands on each of her shoulders. After about 5 minutes of complete silence, Kevin Ryan was the one to finally break the silence, "He's going to be ok, he's strong, he's a fighter and he's got too much to live for, do you hear me Kate? He's got too much to live for, he has you, he won't give up, trust me." Taking in what Ryan had just said, Kate finally looked at Ryan with wet eyes and replied with a sheepish smile and a quiet "Thank you."
Wanting to change the subject, Javier asked Kate with a childish smile "how long have you been together." After a second of thought, Kate couldn't see the point in denying their relationship, when the man she loved was fighting for his life. "5 months tomorrow, we were going to go out for dinner and celebrate" earning a smile from both her colleagues, she asked "how long have you known", earning a little laugh from Esposito, "about 2 months." With the tears slowly coming to a temporary cease, Kate asked, "how did you find out?" when Ryan sheepishly answered " well, you were both so much happier when the other was around and the not so subtle hand brushes and plus it's us so of course we figured it out" receiving a hardly audible scoff from Kate, causing all three of them to smile.
When Alexis and Martha finally came walking toward the three detectives, Alexis immediately engulfed Kate in a intense hug, a hug that was needed by both. "is he ok, tell me he's ok" Alexis asked immediately, still clinging on to Kate, "He's in surgery, I haven't heard much, I've only been her for about 45 minutes, and he went in just before I got here." When Alexis finally broke away from Kate, Martha also gave Kate a hug, causing more tears to leave her already soaked eyes "Ohh Kate" Martha said while rubbing the young Detectives back. Once breaking their embrace, Martha looked deep into Kate's wet, hazy eyes and lovingly says "Kate, he's going to be ok, he is and you are going to be ok and when he is out of surgery you will be able to see him and talk to him, trust me sweetie, he will be ok, he's got way too much to live for, especially now that he has you." Earning a deep smile from Kate Martha hugged her again and then went to the cafeteria to get coffees for everyone.
After sitting down again, Kate resumed her original position with her knees up to her chest, closing her eyes and imaging her future with the man that meant so much to her and the one man that she loved with all her heart.
