A/N: Hey everybody! Sorry for the delay! I've just been really busy and I know that's not an excuse but forgive me. Just a fair warning, this chapter isn't very good. I just wanted to get something up.

Chp 3:

Previously on Rebuild: Rick realized that if he wanted Kate to get her memory back soon, and have her remember him, he would have to be working around the clock. But while he was doing that he decided that he would have fun this time and it wouldn't take three years for him to confess his love to Kate.

It had been about a month since Kate had seen her friends for the remembering lunch. Today was going to be Kate's first day back at work since she had been shot. Being back came with many rules she had to follow. Rule #1: Kate was not allowed in the field for any chases, only crime scenes and talking to suspects or people related to the victim. Basically Kate was on Desk duty for the next month or so.

After getting ready that morning Kate walked into the precinct ready for a long boring day. Her ride on the elevator up to her floor seemed to be especially slow today, like it was taunting her of how slow the day would be.

The elevator finally stopped with a bring and opened the doors for Kate to exit. When she stepped out of the elevator Beckett was met with a chorus of "Surprise! Welcome Back Beckett!"

The precinct had balloons and signs all over. It was decorated for a celebration, a thing the precinct couldn't do often.

"Welcome back girl!" Lanie was the first to run up and hug her. Even though she saw her last week, Lanie was happy that things were going to be back to normal. Or as normal as they could be as of now.

Ryan and Esposito were the next to talk to their boss. For Lanie and them two, this was the most exciting thing that has happened in months. Their sister, boss and friend had regained her memory enough to make things as normal as they could be. Besides the fact that they had a new captain at the precinct, who was also currently walking towards Beckett.

"Detective Beckett. Nice of you to be able to join us again. I am Susan Roberts, the new captain here at the 12th. I am looking forward to getting to work with you." Captain Roberts said with a slight smile.

"Oh, Hi. Thank you ma'm. Please excuse my absence the past month or two. I hope that I can prove myself worthy to you again." After all that she had been going through and still is Beckett was still worried that she was going to lose her job not only because she was shot on the job and out for 3 weeks but that she also was out for another month to regain some of her memory.

"Hi Ms. Roberts I am Richard Castle. I shadow Detective Beckett." Castle introduced himself when he saw that the conversation was not progressing.

"Ahh, yes. Mr. Castle. I have heard of your little arrangement here at the precinct. I have actually read some of the Nikki Heat books. Now I have always wondered, is all of the book true and based off of Detective Beckett here?"

"Really. Well I am pleased to meet another fan. Now as for the books, only Nikki Heat is based off of our dearest Detective. Nothing else in the series is based on real life except for the occasional case."

The captain and the writer talked about different things. The writer always being his charming self. The others had now been dispersed among the other detectives and cops of the 12th, leaving the two in deeper conversation by themselves.

"So girl, tell me how you've been." Lanie started the conversation as they walked away to get drinks.

"I don't know Lanie. It's still all confusing. Half of these people I barely remember but here they are telling each other stories like I would always remember what happened. And Castle! I barely remember what our relationship was like and yet he showed up every week at wherever I was with coffee and a bear claw."

The ME smiled at the news of this, liking that writer boy was still continuing tradition even though Kate wasn't at the precinct or even working for that matter.

"Lanie, what does Castle mean to us?" The question Kate asked took Lanie by surprise.

"Ummm... to Ryan and Eposito, he's like a brother, to me he's like a annoying friend. But as to what he is to you. You will have to tell me that one."

With the parting words, Lanie left to find her boyfriend.

A/N: Again sorry for the shortness and quality. I probably had some grammer mistakes cause half of this wasn't edited. Also this was truly a filler chapter. I really needed Beckett back at word to get on with the review anyways!

By the way did anyone else see that on September 19 Castle is on again and that Josh and Rick get into a fist fast. EEP!
