Author notes: When it finish the last chapter, I expected something more. Often the ends of "Castle" are reflexive, and I thought that the talk between Beckett and Rick, in which she says that the case on they are working reminiscent of her mother´s case, would continue. This is my continuation.
"The double down"
-An alternate ending-
When they left the precinct, after resolved the case, Castle went to his apartment like every day. But something in his head was spinning. He felt that he had ignored Kate when she told about her feeling about the case looking like her mother´s case. Actually, he ignored her, but not on purpose. He did not want to say something that upset her again. But now, he feel bad with that. He can´t stop thinking. But suddenly, Alexis stole his attention. She looks sad.
Hey dad!
Hey sweetheart! What´s up?
Owen.
What happened now?
Well, I went to his house to talk to him. I didn´t want to be upset with him. I opened my heart to him, and you know what? He didn´t listen to me. Almost he didn´t look at me. I hate him, dad! Why the men are like this?
Because the men usually we are silly. I never thought that I could say something like that, but you should give to him a second chance, honey!
Really?
Yes. If you want it, of course.
Ok. Thanks dad! I am going to talk to him right now, I can´t wait.
Good Luck, love.
Alexis leaves the place. And Castle does the same a bit later.
Meantime, Kate was in her apartment trying to read. But she couldn´t do it. She felt bad and sad. She opened her feelings with Castle and he didn´t say anything. Why?
Kate decide that is enough of reading, so she leaves the book and go to her bedroom to wear her pajamas. Then she return to the living room searching her phone when someone knocks the door.
Who is it?
It´s me, Castle.
Castle? (She open the door a bit confuse) What are you doing here? What happened?
Nothing happened! Can I came in?
It´s late, Castle
Please!
Ok, came in! Don´t say anything about my pajamas, ok?
You look nice, Beckett.
Very funny, Castle. Would you like a coffe or something?
I die for a Beckett´s coffe.
Maybe you can die with my coffe.
I want to risking it.
Ok. (Beckett make coffe, Castle look around the place) So, Castle, why are you here?
I want to apologize.
Why? What did you do this time, Castle?
Today when you told me that the case looked like your mother´s case. I didn´t listen to you. I mean, I listened but I didn´t say anything. And I feel bad for it. Sorry Beckett!
No. I am sorry about it. I can be a bit confuse sometimes. I said to you that not take part on my mother´s case and then I said that thing to you… It was baceuse of the moment… I am sorry, Castle.
Kate, don´t apoloize to me. You always can talk to me.
Maybe I can´t take part on your mother´s case, but I know about it and I am almost your friend. I like listening to you.
Thanks, Castle. Take a sit. I´ll finish the coffe and then we can talk about it.
Ok. I am waiting this coffe. It smells nice.
