So, I know, I should be writing Prom? but, after watching five games of hockey yesterday, I got this idea. Don't know if it is good, but eh, I tried. And the idea wouldn't leave me until I wrote it so... yeah.

Let me know what you think.

Shannon

DISCLAMER: I do not own Castle. Sorry! I wish I did too.

PS: For anyone following Prom? I will be updating sometime again this week. Be happy!(:

"KATE!" Rick yelled from his office as he walked towards the kitchen where Kate is currently. "I know what we are doing for date night."

"Who says we are going on date night Mr. Castle?" Kate asked while stirring the spaghetti in the pan that was in front of her.

"I do." He says as he pulls her close to him from behind. He can't help but smell her hair. Cherries. He kisses her neck. "I want to go on a great date with my gorgeous girlfriend."

"Hmmm, it depends, where are we going?" Kate asks as she turns around in his arms to face him.

"Well... I was thinking, I know how you love hockey, and I do too. I also know you love the Sharks. So guess what?" He asked barely containing his excitement.

"What?" Kate asked

"I got us tickets to the Sharks game tomorrow." Rick said grinning like an idiot. One thing he really loved about Kate was that she loved sports. Her favorite was hockey. Most girls like football, baseball, or basketball. But, not Kate Beckett, she likes hockey.

"Really Rick?" Kate asked excited.

"Yes babe! We have to go though. I had to get plane tickets for tonight." Rick said.

"What time does our plane depart?" Kate asked.

"10:30PM" Rick said. Kate looked at the clock, it was only 6:30, they had plenty of time.

"Well Mr. Castle, we should eat and then pack." Kate said kissing his nose. He smiled.

"You missed." He said as he brought her head to hers and they met in a romantic kiss. When they broke apart Kate said, "I will never get tired of that Castle."

"Me either, lets eat!" Rick said.

Once they got past the security of the airport, Rick looked at the time, 9:30 PM. He figured he had some time to go to the bathroom and grab some snacks for himself and Kate before they took off.

"Baby, I am going to the bathroom for a sec and then I am going to get us some snacks. Want anything?" Rick asked as Kate sat down in the chairs that were reserved for Southwest Airlines, flight 1086.

"Just grab a bag of M&M's for me please?" Kate asked.

"Of course." Rick said as he leaned down to kiss her.

He grabbed his carry on that contained his laptop and a few other knick knacks and walked towards the bathroom. When he was sure he was out of Kate's line of vision, he took out the small black box and put it in his pocket after checking that the item that was supposed to be in there was still there. He smiled and knew that this was possibly the greatest idea he has ever had. Then really went to the bathroom. After he relieved himself, he walked into the gift shop, he grabbed a few magazines for Kate. He remembers the last plane ride, she forgot to get some and was bored the whole ride. He also grabbed a few candies and some water for both of them. He looked at his clock, it was now 9:50. He's been gone for almost twenty minutes. His plane should be boarding any minute now. He walks to the register and pays for everything. It was close to fifty dollars. But, he understands, everything is over priced in airports. He took his change and walked back to Kate. She was playing her new favorite addiction, Temple Run 2 on her iPhone. Rick looked at her and realized how lucky he is to have Kate in his life.

"Hey, where have you been?" Kate asked.

"The line was long in the gift shop, sorry. I got some stuff for you." He said.

Kate loved that he was always getting stuff for her. She loved how he never just thought about himself. He always thinks about others before himself. Like yesterday, he saw this little boy asking his mom for a small truck and she kept on saying no because she couldn't afford it. Rick bent down to the small boys height and asked if he really wanted the toy. The small little boy nodded. He then tapped the young boy's mother on the shoulder and said, 'Mam, can I buy this toy for your son?' The woman said, 'No sir, he doesn't need it. Plus, I can't have a stranger buy my son a toy that we cannot afford.' Rick chuckled. 'Mam, no disrespect, I am a million dollar writer. Richard Castle, I can afford a five dollar truck. Please, let me purchase this for your son. He reminds me of my now teenage daughter, Alexis. It will warm my heart.' The mom looked down at her young child and asked him, 'Mal, are you sure you want this truck?' The little boy nodded. The mom looked back up at Rick and said, 'Sir, if you insist.' Then the woman went to pay for her groceries. 'Sir.' he asked the grocer. 'I am going to pay for this lady's groceries as well as mine.' Rick said. Kate stood in shock, looking at this amazing man that she is in love with. 'Sir, I can't let you do that, it's over a hundred dollars.' The mother said. 'Mam, I would be honored to pay. If it makes you feel guilty, just pay it forward.' Rick replied. 'But sir, are you sure?' the mother asked. 'Yes mam, it's the least I can do.' Rick said. 'Thank you so much. You don't even know what I have gone through I really appreciate it.' Rick then took the small truck off of the conveyor belt. 'Here you go bud.' Rick said as he handed the truck to the little boy. 'Thank you.' The little boy said as he hugged Rick. 'Come on Mal, it's time to go.' The mother said. Rick then pulled out a piece of paper out and autographed it then gave it to the women. 'You can get a few hundred bucks on eBay. Tell them it's authentic.' Rick said. 'Thank you so much kind sir.' The mother said. Then they both waved goodbye. For the first time in a long time, she realized how much she really loved this man. The way he interacted with kids was incredible. It made her want to have some of her own in the future.

"Kate-" Rick said.

"Yeah." Kate replied.

"You okay? You were spacing out for a while there." Rick said.

"Yeah I am fine. Thanks." She said as she laced their fingers. "Have you ever thought about kids, well obviously you have. I mean you have Alexis. I mean with me? Do you ever think of having kids with me?"

"Is that even a question Kate Beckett? Every single day, I think of what our kid would look like if we ever had a kid. Beautiful eyes like his momma and brown hair like me. Can't you imagine how adorable he will be?" Rick said

"What if it's a girl?" Kate asked.

"I will love her just the same." Rick said. "The only other women I will love on this planet is Alexis and if possible, our daughter."

Kate leaned over and kissed him with a new-found passion. He wanted to have a kid with her. Their own kid.

"Flight 1086, Southwest airlines, New York to San Jose is now boarding." The PA system said.

"Have I told you how excited I am for this game?" Kate said as she stood up.

"No, you actually haven't." Castle said

"Well, since I was about seventeen, I have had a love for hockey. I have never been to a game because my team is so far away but I have always wanted to go to a game." Kate said as they got into the line.

"You have never been to a game?" Rick asked

"Nope, it's my first time." Kate said as the person scanned her ticket and she waited for Rick.

"You are going to have a blast!" Rick said as he walked towards her. He took her hand and laced their fingers.

As they stepped onto the plane he peeked into the cockpit and asked, "So no one was out partying last night right?" All of the crew laughed. Rick and Kate took a seat in the front row. Rick took the window seat and Kate sat in the middle.

"Kate, are you okay?" Rick asked, her hands were shaking.

"Yeah. I am just a little nervous." Kate said

"Plane anxiety?" Rick asked

"Yeah." Kate replied

"How about this, I have been on so many planes I can describe what is happening to the plane step by step." Rick said.

"That sounds good" Kate replied.

About thirty minutes later, the attendant asked everyone to fasten their seatbelts. Kate held onto Rick's hand for dear life.

"Okay guys, I am going to make this fast because I know most of you guys don't pay attention anyways. So exit out the doors if we evacuate blah blah blah, uh. Yeah, it should be a smooth flight so we shouldn't end up like anyone on Lost. It's going to take about six hours so sit down, meet someone new, be nice. You are stuck with us for six hours. And more importantly, have a good flight!" The attendant said.

As Rick promised, Rick explained everything that was happening to Kate. And it made her a little bit more comfortable. Before they knew it, they were in San Jose. Kate had fell asleep on Rick's shoulder and before they landed, he woke her up with a kiss.

"Baby, we are about to touch down." Rick told Kate.

"Thank you" Kate said.

Rick checked his pocket when he got off the plane and he froze, the little black box was missing from his pocket.
