Letting Go Of The Past
When she had said those words of letting go of the past, Beckett whispered, some what scared and a little, heart broken.
She didn't bother to wipe the tears from her eyes. The both of them were done hiding from the past. They have been associates, partners, and lovers in a marriage...He was her one and done. That was still then and now...
"Kate..I 'm, so glad you wish to try again for a little girl." He backs off and goes to stare out the window. He turns to look at her. "Kate, I am very happy, I will never be able to put into words, I Love you." He says.
"It's the reason I say, I am letting go of the past." Her words a whisper coming from her heart.
He slowly walks away from the window, to lightly touch her face.
"Shall we try my lovely wife starting tonight, since Alexis is staying over at William's apartment after getting off his watch at the precinct."
"Why not!, I do know your not going to be around a week with Gina sending you out to promote your books with the reporters, it's the way to keep Nikki Heat alive and with the public."

Two weeks later...
Kate Beckett is asked by Castle to join him for the New York City annual gala at the Trump Towels, while she is able to have Alexis, Martha and the house keeper to keep and eye out on Reese in the nursery.
Castle was dressed in his usual black tux, while Kate wore a black long sleeve sequin dress above her knee. She was going to have all of the reporters swarm looking for interviews.
Castle slid into the back seat of the luxury town car, thankful he'd planned ahead for the car service to take them to the Trump Towers Gala. Castle expelled a shattering breath and drew his hand across his face, when he watched his wife come out of the entrance of the loft building.
He needed a minute to compose himself to look at her, before she was able to get inside to sit next to him, excited with her and lovely evening overall.
"Richard Castle!, where have you been?" One of the reporters asked with the two of them walking into the hotel lobby.
Castle chuckled. Amusement tinged his voice as he replied. "I have been keeping myself busy with my P.I. business, I consult on occasion for the 12th precinct and my publisher is cracking the whip to keep me in line to promote the Nikki Heart series and the other new series."
The reporter laughed. " I have missed you, writer boy, at least your out and about with your lovely wife, she must see you devilishly handsome self?" He says, while Kate kept her mouth shut before getting into trouble.
Castle closed his eyes against the onslaught of emotions. Of course, he loves Kate Beckett a great deal. It would be impossible not to.
"One more question, and you really don't have to answer, are you and your wife going for baby # 2 in the near future?"
He sighed, while his wife looked away, his wife was being displayed right here and now, but she didn't really care since letting go of her demons, she had nothing more to hide anymore.

Inside the Gala ballroom with everyone attending including the mayor, governor and Police commissioner.
As soon as the both of them heard the opening notes of the song, she knew, she was in for some fun. "Madonna's tune Material Girl was being played by the "Moonlighters" a live band. Madonna's voice or rather the singer had everyone thrilled, and Kate's smile stretched across her face, as with Castle.
"Oh, I wanna dance with somebody." She says to give her husband the hint. A chuckle came from Castle's mouth as he takes her into his arms to began dancing.
"Hi!" She says before whispering in his ear to have his face blush at the thought.
"Maybe we should leave a little early to get a head start on going over to the beach, before finally going home to our family." Castle replied.
Kate smiled and before she could react. Castle pulled her into his arms and they began dancing the best they can to the Madonna's tune.
Rick wrapped an arm low around her back and dropped her so, that her head was nearing touching the floor. When he pulled her back up, Kate threw her head back and laughed. Rick twirled her around, and she let go of him and kept twirling, until she came to stop in front of him.
When the song had ended. Kate kissed Castle cheek. "That was fun." Beckett said before whispering. "Do you think the reporters and everyone else will miss us?"
Castle looked around..."I doubt it!, before saying. "Lets go Kate before we are surprised by them."
