SCRAP THE STORY OR KEEP IT
"Good morning babe" He hears Kate's soft voice and her lips kissing his check. But when he opens his eyes her side of the bed is empty and his holding her pillow close to him.
There's a knock at the door he stumbles out of bed and answers the door.
"Hey" Mary said with a smile.
"Hi what are you doing here?"
"Well I'm off for the morning I was thinking we could eat breakfast"
"Mary I can't do this with you"
"But we have so much in common we both have lost two people we love very much"
"We can be friends Mary but nothing more"
"Why are you pushing me away?"
"Cause I promised her always"
"She's gone you can't break a promise to someone who is dead"
"Mary I'm sure your a nice person but I'm just not ready to date yet"
"We could start as friends then maybe move on to more after all you got to crawl before you can walk"
"I guess we could be friends" Rick agreed.
"And then.." Mary asked.
"I dunno Mary"
"Okay"
/
"Beckett this is a old friend of my Mark who owns me a favour" Hunt said walking in.
"I found the man who tried to kill you,but first I need to ask you a question?"
"Yes"
"What is the last thing your remember?"
"I was driving home"
"3xk and Kelly Nieman sound familiar"
"Yes..Yes I do" Kate nodded.
/
"Just friends dad she gave you so many hints" Alexis asked as she pushed the shopping trolley.
"I know but I just don't feel anything for her"
"Dad your afraid you afraid that if you feel something for her you will lose your feelings for Kate you've locked up your heart"
"Your heart would be locked up too Alexis I hope you never get to experience what's it like to have someone your madly in love with and who you've wanted for so long to be just taken away from you"
"I know your feelings with Kate were strong but I don't want you to die alone I mean dad I need to live my life but I don't want you to be lonely"
"Go live you life Alexis I'm not stopping you from living it"
"But you will be lonely"
"I'll be fine Alexis"
"Can't you just give it ago?" Alexis asked.
"Alexis I don't want to hurt both me and the other person"
"Dad the only person your hurting is yourself your miserable you need someone to make you smile again"
"Alexis I'm a grown man I can take care of yourself, Thank you for caring but I just can't do it"
/
"Please Mark I will take any dangerous idea you have I just want to get back home to my family" Beckett pleaded.
"Do you want to see them yourself or in a body bag?" Mark answered.
"Okay I have a idea"
"Anything" Beckett answered.
"3xk his always one step ahead we need to somehow trick him"
"How do we trick him?" Kate asked.
"We tell 3xk we found you survived from the car crash we meet up with him cause he will want his job done then NYPD arrest him"
"How will I get in touch with anyone they all think I'm dead no one will go for it"
"Leave it all to me" Jackson said.
/
Jackson touched down in New York and headed to the 12th to see Detectives Ryan and Espo.
"Can I have a word with you fellas?" Jackson asked.
"Sure" They both said at the same time.
"Can we go somewhere private and not video or audio recorded you will understand in a minute"
/
"Alright talk" Epso said closing the door behind him.
"Beckett is alive she's over with me in Paris I've been keeping her safe and she's also been in a coma"
"So bring here home" Espo suggested.
"We have a plan"
"Tell us everything"
/
Alexis was at lunch with Mary after going shopping with her.
"I tried" Alexis said.
"Thanks for you help anyway"
"His everything my husband would have wanted me to be with and my parents"
"What does he have.. Your not after his money are you?"
"No of course not and we have some things in common"
"Maybe one day"
"I don't know Alexis he wants to be friends"
"He just needs to get to know you?"
/
"Dad I'm having someone over for dinner" Alexis said setting out a plate.
"I see what your doing Alexis"
"Dad she seems crazy about you just get to know her"
"Alexis I would love to get to know how but as friends"
The door bell ran and Alexis answered it.
"Mary hi come in" Mary walked in and towards the kitchen.
"Hi Rick"
"Hi Mary"
"Would you like some water Mary?"
"Yes please"
/
After dinner Alexis went to bed leaving Rick and Mary in the lounge room.
"So do you want to watch a movie or we could play a board game what games do yin have?"
"It's getting late I think you should go" Rick told her.
"Rick will you stop fighting this"
"Stop fighting what.. I have no feelings for you Mary"
"That's cause you haven't got to know me"
"I know when I feelings for someone Mary I get butterfly's in my stomach and my heart beats fast"
"I have feelings for you, you remind me a lot of my husband I need some like you Rick"
"Mary I'm sorry but sometimes opposites don't..you know"
"When will you get it" Mary said angrily.
"Get what?"
"She's dead and once someone is dead they don't come back it jut not possible"
"I know it's not possible don't you think I have laid in bed wishing there was something to bring her back"
"I've had the same dreams Rick but one night I was lying in bed and I thought he would have hated to see me like this he would have told me to get out of bed take of my ring and find someone"
Rick looked down on the gold band still on his finger.
"But that means I'm letting go of Kate"
/
"So you got that?" Jackson asked Epso and Ryan.
"What about Castle?" Ryan asked.
"No he will mess something up like his smart but in this case he will be using his heart not brain and we need to use our brains so are you two in?"
"Yes..Javier?"
"Yeah I'm in"
/"Good morning babe" He hears Kate's soft voice and her lips kissing his check. But when he opens his eyes her side of the bed is empty and his holding her pillow close to him.

"I couldn't do it"
"Rick it's the first step to moving on and becoming a stronger person"
"When did you take off yours?"
"When I started dating a guy"
"Well I'm not dating so I going to keep it on"
"Rick I have asked you on penalty of dates"
"And I'm sorry Mary but I've already told you my feelings and plus couldn't you lose you job?"
"It worth it for you " Mary went to kiss him.
"Woah Mary stop" Rick grabbed her shoulders.
"I had the same feelings when I first my husband then I kissed him and I felt the spark"
"I'm sorry Mary" Rick said turning around and walking out.
/
"You tried to kiss him?" Alexis asked.
"Yes and I tried to get him to take his wedding band off"
"No way he won't take that off"
"I know it's like he glued his finger too it"
/
Rick was trying to write his last book wasn't his greatest he had Kate's pillow in his lap. He remembers the times were Kate would cuddle up to him while he was writing some times she would fall alseep or sometimes she just wanted to cuddle up to him after a long day.
He remembers the way she would curl herself into him.
