A/N: Reviews always make me feel better!
Previously: Beckett went to Hamptons, they had fun, and yeah :)
Castle was the first one to wake. He decided to make Beckett the best breakfast of her life. He made everything perfectly, he also made a smaller one for Alexis. Beckett had come out of her room to see Castle dancing to music. Just a minute or so later they both heard Alexis. Castle said, "Good morning my two beautifuls." That made Beckett think, beautiful, not sexy, hot, but beautiful? Beckett then went to fix breakfast when interrupted by Castle shoving a plate to Alexis. Beckett sighed as she didn't notice he made her breakfast. She then sat down, looked away, the noticed the big plate of breakfast in front of her. Her eyes lit up, Castle had made her breakfast, yummy looking breakfast. How lovely would this be every day. Beckett started to talk, "Thanks Castle, this looks yummy!"
"Good I wasn't sure you liked all of that."
"I love it."
Alexis eating her food very swiftly, like she was starved, said, "Thanks dad! You're the best!"
"Of course darling. Did you all sleep good?"
Beckett answered, "Yup, now I'm not tired." She finished with a chuckle. She did in fact sleep well, probably the best she has ever slept in a very long time. It was because of yesterday, being with Castle, having much fun like a family.
Alexis had also said she slept well. They finished breakfast to notice Castle hadn't even fixed his own yet, he put the two of them ahead of him. Beckett thought that was very sweet. After breakfast they decided to go for a swim. Beckett was a little nervous thinking about swimming with Castle, but he had been good before, nothing inappropriate.
They had a very fun water-gun fight, which Beckett won. Also Beckett won most of the races. Beckett had said once they got finished and were in the car, "Best of the family!" Just then she realized she said family, which worried her. Castle hadn't said anything, only let out an odd sigh. He, too, wanted her to be family of course. Beckett tried to correct herself, but couldn't get the words out of her mouth.
When they got back they were going to play the Wii again. This was just as fun as before. This made Beckett even more wanting to be a family with Castle. Castle had also wanted this to be normal life. They had a pleasant lunch. Then they played another awesome board game, which Beckett had won. They had an awesome, delicious dinner, as well. It was another late dinner, so they decided to watch a movie.
Beckett started to get a some-what sad feeling when she realized this was the last night they were going to stay. Beckett had gone to the bathroom, starting to let out some tears. She wanted Castle, she needed him. Castle had noticed her eyes oddly red when she got back, but said nothing. Beckett wanted to talk to Castle about them, but again somehow couldn't. Alexis was in a chair, Castle and Beckett on opposite sides of a couch. She also wanted to cuddle up with him like in the dream, while watching the movie. She started to let little tears out again. This time Castle really noticed, but again said nothing. He thought it best just to let her be, he needed to try and be good in her time of need.
Beckett had trouble focusing on the movie, she even drifted to sleep briefly. Castle tried to pay attention as well, but had a little hard time as he was watching Beckett, and saw how upset she was. He wondered why was she upset, is it because this is just a temporary thing, or…? Finally, the movie ended, Castle noticed Beckett was lightly sleeping, and Alexis had been real tired so she went off to her room to go to sleep.
Castle gave Beckett a slight nudge. She woke up, to see Castle over her. All she could do was stare into those beautiful eyes. Castle then told her, "I'm going off to bed, see you in the morning?"
Beckett replied, "Oh… yeah goodnight."
Beckett drifted off to sleep on the couch again. She was suddenly woken up due to a loud boom. It was a thunderstorm. She didn't really like them, at least the loud noises. Castle came out to check the weather. He noticed Beckett was still on the couch, not in her room. She said, "Hi Castle, do you know how bad it is?"
"No… I was just coming out to check… Let's see…" he continued, "Looks like about 20 more minutes of lightning, then just rain. Beckett had sighed. She decided to go back to her room. When there, she was very cold. She asked Castle for another blanket, which got him into her room. He brought her a heated blanket and a very heavy blanket. Beckett was sitting next to him on her bed. She said, "You know this is nice and all, thanks, Rick." Castle looked over to her, just to notice one of his books on her night stand. He said, "Oh hey, you got one of my books."
"Ahr, yeah…"
"You like it?"
"I guess." She actually loved it.
"Mm, well goodnight, Kate Beckett."
Just as Castle got up, he heard another boom then a loud shriek come from Beckett. He asked, "You okay?"
"Yeah, just don't like this."
"I can stay if you want until it's done."
"Yeah, I guess, that'd be great."
They sat for a couple minutes, waiting for the storm to pass, when Castle noticed Beckett very lightly sobbing. As Castle put a hand on her thigh, he asked, "Are you okay, Kate?"
Beckett went to look up at him, "Yeah I'm fi- Err, Well actually, Rick, err, Castle… You know it's just being here like family it was so amazing." She continued, staring into his eyes, "I mean, I have never felt like this before." She sighed and continued, again, "Rick, I lo-," BOOM! Another loud thunder came. That had interrupted her, she was actually going to go all out and tell him everything, how she loved him, that dream, how she felt in the freezer, being shot, and the kiss they shared while 'undercover'. Castle looked over to her, she looked completely stunned. She tried to move, but couldn't. Why couldn't she move? Beckett started to give out a slight cry again, she turned and buried her head into his shoulder, he gave her a very soothing hug. The sensation of the hug was awesome, she wondered how a hug could make her feel so better. She went to look up at him, wanting to go in and kiss him. He was staring into her eyes, as she was his. They both clearly shared lover for each other. Just then they heard a door.
Beckett's point of view:
Damn, perfect timing, I love him, but erg. And he clearly loves me now. Him saying he loved me, wasn't in the heat of the moment, I don't think. Why? Just, why, were we interrupted?
Castle's point of view:
She's clearly hurt somehow; she also clearly loves me, as I love her. But why did we have to get interrupted. Just hope she's okay.
They both rushed to get back together, just when Castle slowly and quietly went out to see if it was Alexis out there. It was, she had said that she couldn't sleep with the storm and was thirsty. The made Castle think even harder again, Damn it…. Why? He made his way back to Beckett's room, She was still sitting there, staring. She finally looked up at him. He said he'd better get her blankets ready. So, she was lying in 'her' bed, getting tucked in by Castle, her best friend. Bringing her some warmth from the extra blankets, she felt most warmth she has almost ever felt, when they hugged. Castle had half collapsed next to her. At first she thought it was on purpose, but then realized he was in pain. Then they were both lying on the bed next to each other. Castle didn't want anything to go wrong again, so he swiftly got up, saying, "Good night beautiful."
He called me beautiful again, and again, not sexy or hot. He does truly care for me. She had thought as she realized he was walking out on her. Castle had trouble sleeping that night but finally got to sleep. Beckett had an easy time sleeping, realizing it might not have been a great idea for them to make out or anything, since it might just be because of the circumstances.
A/N: Well hope that was good… Thinking just one more chapter (maybe more)
