Please post a review so I know what you guys think about it! :)

Enjoy reading!

"Katherine Houghton Beckett, will you marry me?" asked Castle gently.

She looked at him for a second. Totally surprised. She didn't expect this at all. When he called her and said that they needed to talk, she thought he was gonna break up with her. But this... This was just so unexpected.

She didn't know what to say. Her mind was a gigantic mess of thoughts like 'Should I say yes and become Mrs. Castle or should I say no?' She actually never had thought of it.

But she knew she had to say something but she was speechless. And seeing Rick sitting there on his knee made her more emotional then she already was. A tear slipped out of her eye and made his way to her cheek.

Castle stood up and took her hands gently. "What's wrong, Kate?" he asked. "Nothing. It's just... I... You… You surprised me a little bit." Kate finally said. "Why are you so surprised? I mean, wasn't it obvious that I want to spend the rest of my life with you?" he asked. "No... I mean yes but...Why- Why were you acting like you wanted to break up with me? I mean- You said- You said that I had to choose between you and the job offer." Kate answered.

"First of all, I never said that you had to choose, Kate. I said you had to think about our future." Rick said simply. "But... But..." Kate stumbled. "There's no but Kate." he said. "The only thing important is that you need to say yes or no too me." "You- I..." She stumbled.

She was so confused about all of this that she probably couldn't speak normal. "Ca... Rick, there's something I need to tell you." Kate finally said. "I got the job." "In D.C.?" He asked softly. Kate nodded slowly and said with an unstable voice: "Rick, if... If that changes anything about how you feel, I understand, but I really want this job. Even if it is in D.C." "Kate..." he whispered. "I'm not proposing too you to keep you here in New York I'm proposing to you because I can't imagine my life without you."

She got of the swing with a big smile: "In that case, Richard Edgar Alexander Rodgers Castle, yes. Yes I will marry you and become your wife." She took his face with her both hands and kissed him whit so much passion that they almost felled on the ground. When they were done kissing, Castle took her left hand gently and put on the ring.

"It's so big." Kate whispered. "No, it's not. You just have remarkably tiny fingers, do you know that?" Answered Rick. "I know." Said Kate with a big smile on her face. She looked in his eyes and dreamed away in the big blue pools.

"Hmmm…" Kate said. "What?" Rick asked. "Nothing. Just.. Your eyes are so beautiful." "Thanks for the compliment! Yours are beautiful too! Maybe even prettier than mine." He said. Kate smiled at him and kissed him soft and sweet on his lips. "Maybe we can go home now and celebrate that we're engaged?" She asked with a playful smile on her face. "Well… Detective. I think that's a good idea. I might have some plans with you." He winked at her with a big smile on his face. "Then let's go home!" Kate grinned. He took her hand in his hand and they walked away from the swings.
