CASTLE POV

I'd never been happier. Me, my wife our beautiful kids all eating breakfast together. It was like a dream that i always pray to come true. And now look at this we are here together. After being shoot, kidnapped, thrown to the one room with a hungry tiger and that is only beggining of what we came through. But happines never last forever and I can feel it in my bones that something bad going to happened. Even though I'm trying to live in the moment everythig feels off. My vision of some events like shooting which took place in our kitchen is blur. I know every word that my wife going to tell me. There is a lot of things that I can say about Kate Beckett but she deffinetly is not predictable at least not always. It's becoming strange and boring like I was sleeping but I didn't want to wake up. I wanted this to be true but every passed second it was more like a book than real life. Even though my whole life was like a deam, my amazing and smart daughter, my beautiful wife, friends and my career - all perfect even my mother and father-in-law. I started to hear some strange noises.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

No way!

"Hi Dad" it was Alexis voice. Now I'm for sure dreaming. I tried to open my eyes, but I failed. I tried again and I did it. I had to close them again because I wasn't used to light.

"Dad you're awake!" Alexis said.

"Yeah" I answered as I started to feel pain on my right side.

"What happened? Where is Kate?" I asked.

"Dad" she said as tears came into her eyes.

"It's ok. I'm ok now just tell me I need to know." I heard as my heartbeat sped up.

"Dad you were shoot. Both of you. This morning in loft. You though that locksat case is closed, but apparently it wasn't. You got one bullet on your right side. It dammaged your bone. I was very afraid."

"What about Kate where is she?"

"Kate well ... she is still in surgery. It's not good." she said with tears while taking my hand." She got more bullet wounds than you. At least 2, but I'm not sure. Lanie walked to talk with her friend who is a doctor here and saw Kate surgery for a while. They still operating so there is hope. Jesus please made her survive." my eyes started to be watery

"I love her too daddy."

"I know" I closed my eyes for a while and then asked.

"How did we get here? And what happened with the shooter?"

"Oh yeah. The shooter is dead. Kate somehow managed to shoot him down even though she was wounded."

"That sounds like my wife. Continue please."

"Ok so after Kate killed this man she called Ryan that you need 2 ambulances at the loft."

"I don't remember this."

"You could passed out by then."

"But she was the one who got more bullets, she was bleeding harder not me." I said amazed how strong Beckett is.

"She's a fighter dad and she is able to do everythig to save people she love."

"That's true."

"After the phone call Kevin did what Beckett asked for and rushed to the loft with Lanie, Javi and Vikram. When they arrived they heard a smoke alarm."

"Smoke alarm?" I asked suprised.

"Yeah you left a frying pan on a gas burner."

"Oh yes I was about to make a breakfast." I said sadly

"Hey dad it wasn't your fault. Guys opened the door Vikram used a fire extinguisher, Lanie and Kevin put a pressure on your wounds and Javi took care about the assassin. I'd never been more scared."

"It's ok Pumpkin. I hope it will be ok. Thank you and I'm sorry for this."

"The doctor should be here in a minute. You probably need another surgery to remove the loose piece of the bone. But it will be ok. Almost none risk."

"Oh ok."

"I'm gonna look for Lanie ask about Kate. She was worried what makes me worried too."

"Why she was worried?"

"Doctor said that there were some complications which are under control but..."

"I understand."

"Gram is here so I will go look for Lanie."

"Ok thanks, and please tell me as soon as you know something."

"I will. I love here too." she smiled sadly.

"See you."

"See you too dad." and she left.

"Hello Richard. How are you feeling?"

"Hi mother. I'm fine. I just had a beautiful dream and now I realized that this could never come true. That she could..." I was trying to finish my sentence but my mother stopped me.

"RICHARD ALEXANDER RODGERS CASTLE HOW COULD YOU DOUBT IN YOUR WIFE." My mother said angrily

"Katherine is one of the strongest women I'd ever met. None of your girlfriends impressed me as she did. And she's a part of our family now and you know how stubborn we could be." She smiled slightly.

"Now tell me about the dream, if it's not...you know..."

"Mother no it wasn't. We just were eating breakfast me, Kate and and our 3 kids."

"3 kids poor woman"

"It was perfect"

"I bet it was" I wanted to tell her more but then doctor came. Please Kate be strong for me, our family and for our future. I'm not able to live without you.
