Ok so I know this was supposed to go up yesterday, but to be honest, I got caught up reading other Castle fan fictions and before I knew it, I didn't know how I wanted this Chapter to go. So I picked the perfect time to write today, when my internet is malfunctioning, and I have no distractions, except my iTunes account where I now have 13 Castle episodes very proud of myself. This is turning into a long AN so I'm just going to start writing enjoy.

Disclaimer: don't own diddly-squat. Wish wish wish I did. Nope nope nope I don't!


Kate walked into the bullpen with Castle at her heels.

Finish the paperwork, and then I'm done.

She sat at her desk and Castle went into the breakroom to get some coffee. She started what seemed to be routine when there wasn't a case to solve, not when Ryan and Esposito were handling the case. Figured, since they got a print on the Vics neck with some gun powder residue and a bullet casing, they could handle it. It was written nicely, and even she had to admit the evidence wasn't too obvious.

When Castle returned with her coffee, she quickly took a sip and returned to work. Castle was lost in thought about this morning's revelation. It seemed like that movie Crash again. Some people from unlikely backgrounds, connected. It was just so…he seemed to be at a loss for words. He watched Kate from the side of his eye, and for once she didn't say anything about it. She seemed lost at the least.

After an hour or so, she heard some commotion, and looked up to see.

Ryan and Esposito were bringing in what looked like to be a very upset woman. She had long black hair, and chalky pale skin. She was trying to break out of Ryan's grasp, hence all the chaos. Then she did something Ryan wasn't expecting.

She started punching. And Kate had to say, she got in a couple good ones to Ryan. From Kate's desk, she heard the pop that came from what she had to guess was Ryan's nose.

Esposito grabbed the woman from behind and cuffed her. He had one of the officers standing by transfer her to the holding cells. He turned to Ryan.

"You okay bro?" he handed him one of the napkins from the breakroom.

Kate saw all the blood rushing down his mouth and didn't think that much blood could come from a punch that weak.

"Yeah, but damn it, Jenny's going to kill me for this!" Ryan exclaimed. He tilted his head back, hoping the flow would stop.

"Wow, bro. she still got you whipped? Sad, bro. Sad." Esposito walked off toward his desk while Ryan went to take care of his nose.

Castle looked back at Beckett. He had a gleam in his eye that she didn't like seeing there too often.

"What Castle?" she asked.

Castle looked at her and tried to hide what was a smirk.

"Did you realize Ryan was right?" He asked.

She was confused. "What? Right about what?"

He looked at her like she was stupid. She reached for her gun and he smothered the look altogether.

"About Gracelynn being your sister!" he nearly shouted.

She looked around frantically, and gave him another look as she reached farther for her gun.

She whispered to him quietly. "Castle! Would you not go blurting it out! I haven't told anyone yet, and id like it if I was the one who informed them!" he looked like he was about to shout something again, and instead of reaching for the gun, she reached for his ear.

And twisted it hard!

"Ow, ow, ow! Apples, apples, apples!" he nearly screamed at his lungs.

"Now will you be quiet?" she asked, still whispering.

"Yeah, yeah, ok!" he said, giving in.

She let go of his ear, and turned around to face her desk. She looked back at him with a pout on his face and him rubbing his ear.

"So when are you going to tell everyone though?" He asked, no games.

She thought about it and truthfully, she had no idea. She knew she had a lot of people to tell. The Captain, Ryan, Esposito, Lanie…Her Father. She admitted she was not looking forward to telling the last person. She knew it would be hard on him, and she was afraid about how he would take it.

"Castle I don't know when. I just want to get back to her. I'm worried about how she might be taking this. I don't know if this was good for her or not." She looked back at him, his face understanding. "I don't even know how I'm handling this! I'm still not grasping it." She looked down now.

"You're not ashamed of her, are you?" he asked, hoping not to insult her. He started to worry when she didn't respond.

"It's trivial, isn't it? Everyone who has a younger sibling is always afraid that they might embarrass them, right? I don't see what I'm so nervous about! I'm an adult! I pay freaking taxes for crying out loud! Why is it I'm terrified about what people think about me if I have a sister I never even knew about?"

She realized this outburst was one of the many she was going to be having over the next couple of days. As much as she is known for keeping everything in, and not "sharing", she always let it out one way of another. And she knew she couldn't let this be bottle up.

Not if she wanted this to destroy her.

Castle looked at her and after her calming down a bit said, "Okay. I think your done for today. Is your paperwork finished?" he asked.

She looked down at her paperwork, noting all she was missing was the Captains signature.

"I need the Captain to sign this paper, and then I'm done."

"Ok. Go get the signature. Tell him what happened, and I mean the truth. He is going to need to know. You can't keep it from him. Tell him you need to take the day off and that this had you wound tighter than nothing has had you in a while. And tell him what you told me. Don't share with anyone unless it is necessary."

"How do you know he'll even listen to me? Last I checked, he was Captain, not me."

Castle stared at her, dumbfounded. "Beckett, really? When has the Captain not let you or anyone off for that matter when they needed to take time to cope with something? He let you make the choice when it was Coonans' case, saying if you couldn't handle it, you didn't have to take it. Do you he even got the bargain for Coonan. Do you really think that if you ask and say how much this means, he won't let you have it?" Castle tried her.

Kate stared at him, trying to figure out if she believed him or not. She finally decided that it wasn't going to work if she didn't try. She got up and walked towards the office.


Captain Roy Montgomery was writing up a recent statement, and was about to reach for his telephone to make a call to the commissioner when he heard a light knock on his office door.

"Come in." he said nonchalantly. He looked up to see who it was.

Beckett? What's this about, he thought to himself.

"Hey, Captain. Can I have a word?" she asked quietly.

Must be important.

He looked at one of the best detectives in his departments. She had a worried look on her face, and seemed that something was on her mind.

"Of course, Beckett." He motioned toward the chair in front of his desk. "Have a seat."

She walked towards the chair slowly, trying to think about how she was supposed to ask.

I guess I'm just going to have to wing it, she thought to herself.

When she was seated in the chair, she handed the Captain her folder, knowing he already knew what had to be done. He quickly opened the folder, singed hid name without even looking at the paper, and handed it back.

"Thank you, Captain."

"You're welcome, Beckett." He looked at her intently. "Now what's the real reason you came in here to talk to me for?" he asked.

She knew he would know there was something else.

"Okay sir, I don't know how to say this, and so I'm just going to say it straight." She said.

He continued to look at her.

"This morning, I found out I had a sister."

His eyes got slightly bigger, but only for a moment.

He waited for her to continue, and seeing as she was going to say nothing else, he asked, "Was that all you had to tell me? Other than I have a feeling you're going to ask if you can leave early?" he saw her eyes get as big as manhole openings. She wasn't expecting that.

And to be honest, neither was he. She never so much as took a sick day, even on her worst days. So this was different for the both of them.

"Sir, how did you know?" she asked, shocked.

"I had a hunch, Detective. But it is understandable, wanting to take time off to figure this out. It has to be confusing; finding out someone you never knew existed." He told her.

"Or finding out someone you loved lied right to your face." She mumbled.

"What was that?" The Captain asked.

"Nothing, sir." She said. She thought it through for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure it's okay that I take the rest of the day off?" she confirmed.

"Is your work done? Everything nicely packed for the D.A's office?" he drilled.

She smiled. "Yes, Sir." She responded.

Now it was the Captains turn to smile. "Then I see no harm in that you leave early. Go figure this out Detective." He shooed her out of his office. "Oh, and Beckett?" he called.

She turned around to face her boss. "Yes, Sir?"

He smiled one of those smiles, the one that is rare on any cops face.

"Tell this sister "Hello" for me. And that I look forward to meeting her when you're ready to bring her around." He said.

"Yes, Sir. Thank you, Sir." She said, exiting the office with a smile on her face.

She walked back to her desk, seeing Castle spinning on her chair again. She didn't even tell him to get off.

He noticed the smile on her face, and says, "Judging by a smile that big, I'm going to say he gave you the day off?"

She smiles bigger and only nods. She motions for him to move momentarily so that she can straighten out her desk for tomorrow when she would return to work. She put away all her notes for the previous case file, and what she was definitely happy about was that she could see her sister on a bright note.

They found Jacob Smiths' killer.

Turns out it was his ex-wife, Irina Merlotte. She thought he was trying to cheat her out wife support (although judging by her face, she needed rehab) and she happened to have her father's old 35 millimeter handgun from when he died last May. Easy case for the boys to solve, and she was going to be put away for a long time. She was happy she could tell her sister.

It's so weird, she thought, saying I have a sister. I wonder how long it's going to be until that becomes normal.

She looks up at Castle again, only to see his blue eyes. He has a smile on his face as well, thinking hers must be contagious.

He gets up and extends his arm to her.

"Well Detective, shall we go forth and fetch your newfound sister and niece, and invite them to a marvelous dinner in my beautiful castle?" he laughs. "Ha-ha, get it? Castle? My last name is Castle?"

She only looks at him with a hopeless smile.

"Yes, we shall" she says, walking with their arms linked together, toward the elevator.
