Disclaimer: So for some reason apparently its impossible for me to own Castle or the characters oh well!

A/N: So this is one of my new stories would love some feed back so I know it's worth continuing. :)

-12th Precinct

"You know Castle you could help with some paper work" Beckett gave Castle a look "Yeah but they just added a new Angry Birds and look" he quickly showed her, his face lit up like a child on Christmas morning he quietly squealed "their Star Wars!" Beckett smiled and shook her head focusing back on her paper work.

*Buzz buzz* Beckett looked at her phone it was Alexis maybe Castle was to focused on his game and didn't answer his. She saw the time it was already 8pm she couldn't believe the time she grabbed her phone "Hi Alexis is everything okay, I'm sorry we lost track of time I'll send your dad home" Beckett tried not to laugh but let out a little giggle.

Beckett heard a small sniff it sounded like Alexis was crying " Alexis, honey are you alright?" Castle suddenly heard Beckett's tone and his daughters name. He gave Beckett a concerned look and she returned a look of unawareness "Lex?" Beckett never called Alexis that unless she was concerned. "Umm Detective Beckett?" "Alexis please call me Kate, what's wrong". "I, I need to talk to someone and as much as I would like to tell dad I just don't have the strength to tell him right now, it's not that I don't trust him I just need to speak to someone else and I trust you". Alexis was stuttering Kate was glad that Alexis felt as if she could trust her, "okay, how about I come back to the loft with your father and we talk". Alexis agreed and thawed Beckett, "anytime Alexis". Castle smiled he adored Beckett's relationship with Alexis.

"Kate, what's wrong ?" Kate looked at Castle and ran her hands through her loose curls. "Castle I, I don't know she just asked me if I could talk to her just by herself." Castle looked hurt he was so close to his daughter Kate could see it in his eyes.

"Hey I'm sure everything is fine, you know probably just girl stuff". Castle gave her a smile but she knew he wasn't okay. "You coming Castle? Lets go back to your loft and we will find out why?" Beckett picked up her jacket reaching as Castle followed her to the elevator leaving for the Precinct for the night.

-Car

"Thank you". Castle whispered, Kate quickly turned before looking back at the road, "for what?", "for being here for not only being here for me but for my family too, I am forever grateful" Kate smiled and simply said "always".

-Loft

Castle turned the key unlocking the door and entering the loft. "Okay I'll just go up to Alexis's room and see what's up I'll be down soon". Kate went to turn when something pulled at her arm Castle had grabbed her hand she wasn't sure why she turned to see his face he pulled Kate into his arms "Thank you Kate". He soon let her go as Kate was walking up the stairs all she could think about was the way he felt, warm and safe.

-Alexis Room

Kate gently knocked on Alexis's door then opened it as she scanned the room she saw the red head curled up on her bed. "Alexis, sweetie?" Kate moved to the bed and sat against the bed head and placed her hand on Alexis's shoulder. "Hey, do you want to tell me whats wrong honey?" Alexis looked up at Kate who pulled her in so Alexis was resting into Kate's side, Kate tucked the hair behind Alexis face as they both faced her wall that contained many pictures of Alexis, her friends and family and one photo that caught Kate's eyes it was of herself, Castle and Alexis she remembered posing for this picture it was at Jenny and Ryan's engagement party at the Old Haunt. Thinking back to that photo brought a smile to Kate's face they all looked so happy. Alexis wiped away her tears and started to tell Kate what was wrong.

"You know how it's dads birthday tomorrow night?" Kate nodded "well mum promised to come down this weekend..."Alexis wiped the tears from her eyes she hugged Kate tighter "I know it's really stupid but I wish she would put me first for once, I... I just feel like she hates me, but I should be use to it". Alexis started crying Kate held her closer.

"Alexis honey, don't ever think that you should be use to it, Meredith is your mother and she needs to be there for you that is suppose to be her main priority not acting roles, no disrespect to your mother but she is incredibly silly to not see just how amazing her daughter really is".

Alexis looked up at Kate wiping away her tears, "Thank you I just hate her she only sees me if she has a job opportunity in New York and needs somewhere to stay like me and dad are a door mat for her. I... I just wish I had a mum like you, I mean I know I can trust you and know if I need to talk to you I can always count on you."

Kate froze for a moment, she could feel her own tears starting to form. "Honey, I know this hurts now but one day Meredith will wake up at least I really hope she does and she will realise just how much she has missed out on, when this happens I want you to promise me that you will hear her out because you do only have one mother in the world. Now as much as I am honoured you feel that way about me, I can't replace your mother however I promise to always be here for you day and night".

Kate could feel Alexis starting to calm down, Alexis looked up at Kate "Thank you Kate, if dad asks and knowing dad he will would you be able to tell him I... I... I just don't want to get him mad I mean if it weren't for me he wouldn't have to deal with Meredith I just feel like he hates me sometimes because he has to deal with her".

Kate gently brushed Alexis's hair away from her face, with her hand she didn't know what to say she breathed in and with hesitation and much thought she said. "Lex, believe me when I say this, your father does not hate you because Meredith is your mother, he absolutely adores you I have never seen a father show so much devotion and pride in their daughter until I met your father he could never hate you Lex, never". Alexis nodded in agreement "thank you".

They sat there for at least half an hour, Alexis noticed the photo Kate was staring at, it was the photo of Castle, Kate and Alexis at Ryan and Jenny's engagement party. "You know he loves you, don't you?" Kate was startled by how direct she had been. "Lex, he doesn't I mean we are just really good friends". Even Kate didn't believe what herself was saying she loved the man, yet she still hadn't told anyone except Dr. Burke that she remembered everything that had happened on the day of her shooting.

"Kate he does love you and I well everyone on the planet can see you love him too, even if you can't see it". Kate just sat there silent, "he can't" she didn't realise that what she was thinking she had accidentally whispered out loud. Alexis grabbed Kate's hand both looking at the same photo "just promise you won't wait to long or be to stubborn Kate?" Kate just nodded and with her spare hand she wiped her tears "thanks Lex."
