She never stayed in one place for long. It's not that she didn't want to do it. She just couldn't. It was like there was a yearning to try more new things after going at a few, and that was how it all began. She finally found that one person that had the potential to make her stay grounded, and she made the biggest mistake of her life by running away from him; and she left all the repercussions of her actions behind with him. But now, she's going to change all that. She's coming back to get her second chance. Meredith Rogers is coming back to take action, as Rick's wife, and Alexis's mother; and she will do whatever it takes to win Rick's heart back.
Two days later she was in a cab in New York, heading to her ex husband's apartment. It took alot of her courage to knock on his door but being a trained actress, she waved all of her uncertain emotions away, leaving only her confidence and outwardness.
"Richard~ I'm back! To stay this time, and I'm not gonna leave no matter what you say!" She shouted into the house and saw a very grumpy Martha walking down the steps.
"Goodness me! It's the wannabe come again. What are you doing here Meredith?" She asked, with a slight coldness of her voice.
" Where's Rick gone to? And Alexis?" Meredith continued her exploration of the penthouse, poking her face into the nooks and crannies that she used to be so familiar with.
"Well, I shouldn't have thought any different. Richard has gone down to the precinct to do work and Alexis has gone to school. Things which I don't think you've successfully done."
"Fine fine. I'll come back with Alexis later. I'll leave my luggage here for the time being." She dropped off her mountain of bags on the couch before walking out the door. Cursing at herself for not remembering that Martha hated her. Darn it.
The moment the door closed. Two people on the bed in the far end of the hall leapt up and ran to the door.
"Why is she here? She could have seen you!"
"I have God to thank that Mother despises Meredith so much. But no, I don't think she is smart enough to notice the shoes outside."
" The coast is clear kiddos. That woman won't get past me, I'm still able of that!" Martha popped her head through the door and announced.
"Yes Mother, you are still very young." Richard leaned over to kiss his mother on the cheek before walking out of the room.
Martha looked over at a downcast figure sitting by the bed.
"Martha I wasn't even supposed to be here. I haven't told him my feelings yet. Do you think it's a sign?"
" Kate, that woman wouldn't know a sign if it came up to her and hit her in the face! Much less even be able to BE one. Don't look so worried. Go take a shower."
As she shyly walked away, Martha sighed to herself. My god, what am I gonna do with these two?
An hour later, the two were silently walking into the precinct when a redhead charged right into Castle's arms.
"She's here Dad! Help help! She pulled me out of school again!" The young girl whispered as loudly as she could.
Beckett smiled softly at him and patted Alexis on the back before walking down to the morgue to talk to Lanie. Ever since the shootout, Rick has been extremely cautious when talking to her, like she was a fragile piece of glass. She hated that. Beckett wanted the Castle teased her endlessly about anything, who annoyed her to bits and came up with entertaining theories to cheer her up on a boring day.
When Lanie saw her face, she immediately checked around for any signs of her shadow, before pulling Beckett into the room and locking the door.
"Lanie what am I gonna do? I didn't even get to talk to him before his ex wife came, and I got into bed with him to hide and then Martha saw us and thought something. " she began rambling after that so Lanie put her hand up to shush her.
"okay. Hold up girl. Gina's back?" She gave a look of disbelief for from what she heard Richard and Gina ended things badly.
"No. Not her. The Twinkie.. Meredith. She's back to stay this time." Beckett's voice dropped in volume after every stop, until she was silent. Lanie reached out and hugged her disappointed friend.
"I thought... I thought he loved me. He said so, right? I heard him... I wanted to tell him but I didn't get the chance to. Lanie, I think I love him."
Lanie did a happy dance in her head but remained straight faced at her best friend's confession. She's gonna get her 100bucks that the guys have just lost.
