A / N: I know nothing of medicine, all that is written in this chapter I have taken it from other medical series as Grey's Anatomy, sorry if there is any type of medical failure I've tried to explain the general injuries and not be specific.

Thanks for the reviews you left me.

I hope you enjoy.

Previously on Castle…

The last thing Beckett could saw and hear before passing out was Lanie saying – "We've got you girl, hold on..." – Trying to hold all her emotions and trying to focus on her friend

Now…

On the way to hospital Kate woke up and immediately lost consciousness again, the only thing that registers in her mind were the distant voices along with the constant beeping of some machines, but all she could think of was about if Castle would survive, if Lanie and others had come too late to save him, that was the last thing Kate thought when everything turned black.

"Come on Kate do not do this to me, not again..." – said Lanie doing the CPR to her friend who had faded and gone into cardiac arrest, having a déjà vu of her and Kate in an ambulance in a similar situation.

"Come on Kate, come on ... do not do this to me"

"We got her back..." – said the paramedic – "your friend is a fighter ..."

"I know ... I'm very lucky" – said the forensic relieved

Meanwhile in the other ambulance Ryan was next to an unconscious Castle, his vital signs becoming more and more weak.

"Come on Castle, don't leave us now, not after everything we've been through together, what has happened to you and Beckett" – said Ryan with tears in his eyes - "this isn't your end, you have a long life ahead, think of Alexis, all you have to live with Beckett, think of you being a father again ... "

In that moment all the machines started to beep - "he's going into a cardiac arrest, he's dying" – reported one of the paramedics as he made the CPR.

"Mr. Castle has a hemothorax ... and may stop breathing in any moment, we need to intubate him and ventilate manually as soon as possible" – commented the other paramedic – "we have to take Mr. Castle as soon as possible to an OR or he has little chance of survive"

"Go as fast you can, 12th precinct will take care of any fines" - ordered Ryan to the driver - "To all units available, I am Detective Kevin Ryan of the 12th precinct badge number 42344, make way for the two ambulances with the going to the New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Lower Manhattan, ranging from Broome Street to Lafayette and then by Spruce Street" – Ryan communicated by walkie-talkie.

"It's done, detective" – began to respond all the different units. They arrived at the hospital 5 minutes later.

"Katherine Beckett woman, 36, gunshot wounds, two entrances, one on the left side of the chest, the other on the left abdominal part, no way out, her constants are very weak, when the ambulance arrived she was semiconscious, she has been waking up during the ride to the hospital she hasn't waken up again, that's when we made its last examination, GCS 3/15. As the passenger told us, she has a record of another gunshot wound to the heart, which caused cardiac complications"

"Thank us we take her from here" - said the doctor in charge of Kate - "book an OR now, call a general, cardio and ortho surgeon, the bullets may have broken a rib" – said the doctor, when she turned to Lanie - "excuse me, I'm guessing you are a relative of Mrs. Beckett."

"Yes, I am yes friend, by the way it's Mrs. Castle, she's married, but she didn't change her surename" – replied Lanie a little upset and terrified at the same time.

"I was wondering if Mrs. Castle could be pregnant"

"The truth is I don't know what sex life has my friend, I think she's not pregnant, but I wouldn't rule it out, as I don't know what precautions she takes.

"Knock also a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology"

At the same time Beckett's ambulance Castle's ambulance arrived as well - "Richard Castle, male 47, gunshot wound to the left chest, no exit wound, when we arrived at the scene Mr. Castle was already unconscious, we don't know since when, his vital signs are very weak, seems to have a hemothorax, he has been intubated on his way to the hospital and manually ventilated. GCS 3/15, test was performed when we arrived to the scene, has not changed since then, has suffered a cardiac arrest on the way to hospital "- reported one of the paramedics.

"Thank you, we got it from here" - reported the doctor in charge of Castle - "get me an OR and call cardio, we don't have much time, come on has lost a lot of blood ..."

Once they took Castle and Beckett into surgery Lanie, Ryan and Esposito sat in the waiting room watching the doors through which they friends had disappeared when Lanie said - "Has anyone called Alexis, Martha or Beckett's dad?"

"No with the rush it hasn't occurred to me" – both

"Calm down it hasn't crossed mind until now, I'll call Jim" - Lanie said

"Okay I'll call Alexis" - Ryan said

"Who is it?" - Said at the end of the phone Jim Beckett, not recognizing the number calling him.

"Mr. Beckett it's Lanie, I'm calling to inform you that there has been an accident, it's Kate ... "- explained the coroner.

"That's not true, not again" –said Jim leaving what he was doing - "What has happened to Katie this time"

"Kate and Rick had just solved the latter case, LokSat, I don't know if you're familiar with it, but what it looks is not everyone involved got arrested, so one of them sneaked into the loft, and they he shot they both. Kate has two gunshots wounds and Rick one, the two have just entered OR "- explained the forensic

"What? okey, right now I'm out of town, I'll catch the first flight to New York" - said as he picked up what he had been doing – "I don't know if you already told me, but which hospital have they been brought to "

"They're in the New York-Presbyterian Hospital of Lower Manhattan, come here as soon as possible, they're both in a very difficult situation" - said the coroner before hanging up.

Meanwhile Ryan called Alexis hoping that she was with Martha – "Detective Ryan what is this call for, you arrested them all" – asked Alexis relieved to have closed LokSat.

"Alexis sorry to tell you this over the phone, but ..." - Ryan responded unable to finish the sentence.

"Tell me what happened, is something wrong with Dad or Beckett" – Alexis asked again this time more upset and nervous.

"I'm afraid to say they have both been shot, they've been brought as soon as possible to New York-Presbyterian Hospital of Lower Manhattan, but I'm afraid to inform you their prognosis isn't good, they're both in the OR now" - replied Ryan with a lump in the throat, preventing to tell little Castle, both Kate her father had been shot at home.

"What, this can not be happening, not to us, not again ..." – heard Ryan from the other side of the phone - "I am with grams we'll come as fast as we can"

"Alexis if you tell me where you are I'll send a patrol to bring you here" – said trying to help as much as he could.

"We're at the Starbucks, in the corner of Crosby and Spring"

"There is a patrol a couple of blocks away from where you are, they'll arrive in a couple of minutes"

"Thank you Detective"
