A/N After deciding that there isn't enough Ryan and Jenny on the show or in fanfiction I decided to start this series. Sorry if this is similar to anyone's else's story but I'm not copying/stealing ideas and I hope you don't see it that way! I just wanted to delve into how I think Jenny would react to some of the cases the team solve. I hope you enjoy reading this! :)


Jenny and Kevin were sat watching TV, well Jenny was watching it Kevin was barely managing to keep his eyes open. Jenny turned from where she was sitting on the couch to see Kevin slumped against the couch with his head titled back as he continuously blinked his eyes trying to stay awake.

"Kevin go to bed" said Jenny as she squeezed one of his hands.

Kevin shook his head, "M' fine"

Jenny sighed and rolling her eyes leaned closer to her boyfriend, "You're exhausted, you need to sleep"

"Haven't seen much of you, gonna sit here a bit longer" yawned Kevin.

Jenny smiled fondly, Kevin had been up at all hours trying to catch the man who was targeting Beckett. And despite his exhaustion he was determined to spend some time with her, when it was clear he should be sleeping. Before Jenny could reply Kevin's cell phone rang.

Sighing Kevin answered, "Ryan"

Jenny looked at him sympathetically, but suddenly all exhaustion evaporated as Kevin sat up with wide eyes.

"What?! Is she okay? I'll be right there!" after hanging up Kevin stood up and ran into the bedroom and grabbed his gun and badge.

"Kevin? What's wrong?" asked Jenny standing up to see her boyfriend striding out of the bedroom with a wild look in his eyes.

"We got it wrong. The case isn't over" he growled out coming to a stop a few feet from her, "It wasn't Conrad, Beckett's apartment has just been blown up"

Jenny gasped, wide eyed she covered her mouth with her hands, lowering her hands in a quiet voice she asked, "Is Kate alright?"

"Don't know" commented Kevin who she could clearly see was trying to hold back his emotions.

Jenny stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "Just be careful and come home"

"I will" whispered Kevin into her hair "I'll always make it home for you". He kissed her and then he was gone.

Jenny remained standing where she was still staring at the door, she prayed with all her heart that Kevin and his friends came out of this unharmed. She would be devastated if she lost Kevin, but she knew if any of his friends were killed Kevin would never be the same again. She turned to the TV and switched it off unable to watch what was on knowing the serious situation Kevin was walking into.

Even though Kevin's job worried her, she was still immensely proud of him and it was the attitudes and personality he had from doing his job which she cherished the most. She had once told him he was brave to do the job, he had shrugged stating he wasn't brave and she had replied, "As a cop you walk towards what everyone else is running from. You have to be brave to do that, and you are brave" Kevin had blushed at that much to her amusement.

She walked over to the coffee table and picked up her cell phone, gripping it as if it was a lifeline. But it was in a way. She needed it close so she would immediately know Kevin was alright, she knew the suspect was going after Kate. But what was stopping him from getting to her through her friends? Through Kevin?

Kevin had mentioned that the suspect became fascinated with Beckett through the Nikki Heat novels. Novels Kevin also made an appearance in as Detective Raley. Jenny made her way into the bedroom and got ready for bed and tried to banish the thoughts that depicted Kevin injured or worse.

After tossing and turning for half an hour her cell phone beeped. She sat up and urgently reached out to grab her phone and breathed a sigh of relief when she read the text from Kevin.

Beckett okay. Castle called her and warned her just before the blast. Heading back to the 12th xxx

Jenny smiled knowing Kevin would be safer behind the walls of the 12th and she replaced her cell phone beside the alarm clock and settled down to go to sleep.


It was a further two days until Jenny saw Kevin. But every hour without fail Kevin had texted her, even if he didn't have time to type out a message, he would instead just send her a smiley face. But that still reassured her as if he had typed out a long message. That icon told her he was alright. He was safe.

So once the case had been solved once and for all Jenny relaxed. She turned when the front door of the apartment slowly opened and with a quiet slam it was shut. Kevin stumbled into the living room more exhausted than when he had left two days ago. He was unbalanced further after Jenny had flung herself at him.

"Hello to you too" chuckled Kevin with a tired smile.

Jenny looked up at him with a relieved smile, "I'm glad you're home safe"

"I told you I would be didn't I?" smirked Kevin as he hugged her.

"Yes you did" smiled Jenny. "Now you need to go to bed and sleep. No arguments!"

"I wasn't even going to argue" yawned Kevin, "I'm beat"

Jenny wrapped her arms around him as he wrapped an arm across her shoulders, and together they headed into the bedroom.

"Do you want a sandwich before you sleep?" asked Jenny glancing across the room over to Kevin knowing that he probably would have skipped eating to make sure the case would be solved before any more harm came to Kate.

Kevin shook his head, "Had something at the Precinct before I came home. Just want to sleep" he pulled back the covers and settled down on the bed. Jenny quickly joined him and snuggled into his side.

"I really am glad you're home safe Kevin" murmured Jenny.

A soft snore was her only answer. Chuckling she looked up to see Kevin sound asleep, leaning up she kissed his forehead and then settled back at his side.

"I love you too much to lose you" she added before she also drifted off to sleep.
