When they arrived at the office, all they had to do was to sign release papers after all of these years. While her husband was playing the role of an drunk, until he went cold turkey to quit drinking, and have the others think that he was plainly losing it, having his wife killed in that alley.
Captain Jerald Zimbalist of the Witness Protection was a very happy man to see the couple reunited. He hands Jim Beckett and his wife Johanna to the papers to be signed.
Johanna takes a look at them, before signing the five sheets she has in her hand. She takes the pen from the table to sign her signature. She gets up from her seat to hug her husband, the both of them had tears in there eyes. He goes to give his wife a very passionate kiss on her lips, for which she returned back.

"I must say Rick, you are a very lucky man for the most part, your going to becoming a father once again, you have a daughter that is going to be married soon, along with her own child on the way, and now your going to be the owner of your owner publishing company, which is amazing!" He replied to his friend Richard Castle.
"I realize Hank, it's going to take a great deal of money for the start up fees, and I need for you to move monies around to cover all of the costs, if possible." He made the suggestion.
"You won't have any problems in that area, since the sales from all of your novels, ads, and promotions on the Internet web sites has brought you a great deal of income during the past several months." He replies with looking at the computer sales log from Black Pawn Publishing.
"Good, I am glad about that Hank, any rate I plan to be doing much better for when it comes to the new "Killer Heat" and "Devil's Advocate" novels that will be released soon."
He was thinking to himself about wanting to make another wish if possible, but he knew it was a one time deal having to be at the Genie In the Bottle resort. "You know what Hank, when was the last time you took a real vacation?"
"Why, does this has anything to do with your trip to Hawaii and the three wishes you were telling me about with the Genie's?" He says with a great deal of sarcasm in a way.
"Yes, Of course Hank, why you call the number, and set up a time your able to fly to Hawaii with your wife Judith?" He hands him the brochure and business card number for which he takes from Castle's hand. "Maybe all of your wishes might come true, along with your wife."
"I will let you know on what I decide Rick, okak, now get out of here, before I start charging you for being here in the first place." He says with a smile finally on his face.

But as it turned out, Hank called her, saying that he was done for today, and would be home within the hour, asking on whether or not she was hungry, he would be able to pick up Chinese along the way.
"Sure, Baby, I would love Chinese food when you bring it here, I will be sitting out in the back porch, when you arrive."
"All right Sweetie, Chinese it is tonight, I will have a great deal to tell you about my crazy day." He says in a gentle voice on the phone.
"Me to Hank, see you in a little while." He ends the call, having the feeling that something sound right with his wife's voice, and the way she was talking. Then he remembered, OMG!, she had a doctor's appointment today to have herself checked from head to toe, including a mammogram.

When Richard Castle arrived home, Kate Beckett ran up to him into a big hug, to almost knocked his breath out from under neath of him.
"What's all the excitement Kate?" While pulling her back from seeing her face filled with extreme emotion.
"Your not going to believe this, my mother is actually alive Rick, all of this years, she's been in the Witness Protection Program in Paris, France, and my knew all this time, and never once, my dad said one word to me, and get this, it was once of my wishes that I asked for to have my mother alive again, she called me earlier, to let me know, she was here in New York, they will be here shortly to see us." She hugs him again before he says a word.
"My god Kate, that is wonderful news, and here we thought she was killed in that alley all this time." While making the statement.
"It was a decoy to have Vulcan Simmons, Bracken and Loksat think that she was dead, until she was able to talk with the authorities, before going into hiding, and stay in Paris until now." She replies filled with emotion.
Just before Castle was going to say something else, someone knocks on the door. Kate tells her husband that she will get it.
Kate Beckett had butterflies in her stomach at the moment, and it was not morning sickness.
She goes to open the door, when she sees her father and mother inside the hallway, she started to cry really hard, Castle comes over to hold onto to her with the beautiful sight.
Johanna comes into hug her daughter for the first in 18 plus years, between all four of them, there was not a dry eye in the Loft. Castle tells everyone to come in for god sake, along with going over to the liquor cabinet to take out the best scotch, whiskey and ginger ale for Jim and Kate, since Jim Beckett has not had a drink accept for one glass of champagne at there wedding in the Hampton's last year.
Jim Beckett will surprise everyone with asking for a shot of whiskey, just for this one time only, even Johanna was shocked, after she was told, he had stopped drinking. Castle pours the shots in each of the three glasses.
He hands them out, leaving Kate with her ginger ale. "This beats everything Rick, along with the Genie In The Bottle resort for our second honeymoon." She says as a joke to her parents finally intact.
"Kate, what's this about the Genie In The Bottle resort?" Johanna asked her daughter with a serious tone.
"It looks like Kate, your going to have to explain to them what is it, and just maybe they could use a second honeymoon, along with having their wishes granted."

When Judith explained to her husband about the breast Cancer, he knew that things would be fine with god's help and a little bit of a help from a Genie.
When Hank explained to her about the resort in Hawaii, she could not believe it, in what she was was thinking, but she would hear him out, never the less.
After a few minutes later, showing her the information, telephone and the grace of God, Richard Castle would help them out with the funds to send them to the resort for the week at Genie In The Bottle.
"Do you really think it will help Hank to have my cancer into remission?" She stated very calmly.
"Yes, It will help along with the wishes that are granted Judith, so what do you say for a week's vacation in Hawaii?" He looks on for her total over all reaction to the trip.
"Fine!, When do we leave?" She inquired with the question.
"I will call the number right now, it's 24/7.", he takes out the card that Castle had given to him. He takes his phone cell from his coat pocket. He dials the number. "Hello, my name is Hank Barrows, I am an attorney, a friend of mind, recommended your resort name Genie in the bottle in Hawaii, I would like to make reservations right now for myself and my wife Judith for the week."
"Very well Mr. Barrows, when do you wish to come, we can have a private plane ready for you in a few hours at JFK heliport, how do you wish to pay for the trip and the resort?" The female voice says on the phone.
"I will pay half with my credit card, and the other half with Richard Castle's card as well, since you have his on record, I will give you mind, right now over the phone, please give me a moment to take it out of my wallet."
"Sure , take your time Mr. Barrows." It was at this point, Judith went into the bedroom to pack for the both of them right away, she was excited, even though she had no idea, these wishes were really going to work.

It was sometime later after Jim and Johanna Beckett had left to go home.
Beckett was finally telling her husband in bed, about the Genie that had appeared to her today with the very special wish for them combined.
"Why do you think the Genie came to us again Kate, and this time only one together, and for us to make it good?" He says out of great concern.
"I have no idea Rick." She moves over closer next to her husband in bed. "I wonder what my mother will think about the idea for a vacation in Hawaii?"
"Don't know Kate, but she seem to like the idea, maybe she will convince your father to go, since he's been working really hard of late at the firm, and traveling to visit your mother at the safe house in Paris.

Jim Beckett was very surprised that his wife Johanna wanted actually to go to this Genie In The Bottle resort, to have a week of relaxation, after years of hiding from those wanting to kill her.
"I really want to go Jim, we need to spend it together, and start living once again, plus to learn to know you and your body once again.
He blushed, even though they have been together once a year for the past 18 years. "All right then, we go, I have that number Rick gave me at the Loft, why don't you start packing quickly, because, I have a feeling, we will be getting a flight quickly by the company, once I pay for the flight and resort."
He goes to take his cell phone off the table in the dining area of his apartment, he looks at the number on the card to put into the numbers before pushing send.
It would take a moment before the operator answers for the resort. This is Jen for the resort Genie In The Bottle, how can I help you?"
After explaining everything to Jen, and who he was, along with his wife, Jen told them, that a flight would be arriving in three hours to pick them up and one other couple to take them to Hawaii.
He was able to pay with his business account card, there wasn't an issue at all with Jen and the company.
"Thank you Mr. Beckett, we will look forward to seeing both yourself and your wife Johanna." She ends the call, there was a text message coming in on his phone.
It states...Car service will arrive in two hours, please be outside your apartment to be taken over to the heliport for your flight to Hawaii. Thank You...
"Wow!, that was quick...He turned around to see that his wife had left the living room to head for the bedroom to pack.
