" Meredith please don't yell Rick and Alexis are sleeping." Kate said.

" I don't care if they're sleeping or not. ALEXIS!" Meredith said.

" Meredith, please." Kate said.

Just then Rick came out of his room and Alexis came from downstairs both looking a little better than last night. Kate figured that after this conversation with Meredith they will both look like they did last night.

" Alexis come here right now." Meredith said.

Alexis walked over and stood next to Kate.

" Alexis how did this happen I thought I raised you right! You have to get an abortion." Meredith said.

" Mom I'm not getting an abortion and you didn't raise me." Alexis said getting angry.

" Richard are you going to let her talk to me like that." Meredith said.

" Meredith she's right. You didn't raise her and she's not getting an abortion." Rick said getting angry.

Meredith turned and looked at Kate she was rubbing circles on Alexis' back to keep her calm.

" What is she doing here? She has no right to be here Alexis is our daughter not hers." Meredith said.

" I asked her to be here. She has every right to be here she's been more of a mom to me in the past four years than you in the past eighteen." Alexis said getting more upset.

" Ok Alexis you need to calm down, it's not good for you or the baby." Kate said.

" Meredith I think it is time you go." Rick said walking to the door.

" I will go in a minute. Alexis let me make this clear if you have this baby I'm done I can't have a pregnant teenage daughter that will ruin my career. Do you understand?" Meredith said.

" Get out I don't ever want to see you again!" Alexis yelled running up stairs.

Kate ran up the stairs after Alexis to her room. Rick showed Meredith out and told her to stay away from them. Rick then ran up the stairs to see if his girls were ok. When he got to Alexis' room he peeked his head in what he saw melted his heart. Alexis was snuggled into Kate crying while Kate was rubbing her back telling her to calm down. Kate looked up at Castle nodded to him that they were fine. Castle nodded and went back down stairs. The next thing he knew Kate was rubbing his arms trying to wake him.

" Hey." Castle said sitting up.

" Hey." Kate said sitting beside him.

" How is she?" Castle asked.

" She's fine, I don't think she is as scared as she was but Meredith really upset her." Kate said.

" I can't believe she said that." Castle said putting his head in his hands.

" I know but they both don't want anything to do with each other so she won't be able to upset her anymore." Kate said.

" Yeah I guess, is Alexis asleep?" Castle asked.

" Yeah I hoping she'll sleep for a few hours." Kate said.

" Me too. Can we talk?" Castle asked.

" Sure Castle." Kate said.

" Why did you kiss me?" Castle asked.

Kate looked into his eyes and grabbed his hands.

" I kissed you because you needed comfort, you were so upset." Kate said.

" Is that the only reason you did it?" Castle asked.

" No. I know you have a lot going on right now but I need to tell you this before I chicken out again." Kate said.

"Ok what is it?" Castle asked.

" I remember everything about the shooting." Kate said looking at her hands.

" What are you saying?" Castle asked.

" I remember you saying you loved me." Kate said getting teary.

" I know." Castle said.

" What? How?" Kate asked.

" I saw you interviewing that guy from the bombing case." Castle said.

" Oh god Castle I'm sorry I didn't want you to find out like that." Kate said.

" Were you ever going to tell me?" Castle said.

" Yes I was, I am going to therapy he was helping me figure out what I want." Kate said.

" Did you figure out what you want?" Castle said.

" Yes I did." Kate said looking him in the eye.

" What is it?" Castle asked.

" You. I want a relationship with you, that is if you still love me." Kate said.

" Kate of course I still love you and I want a relationship with you too." Castle said pulling her towards him in a crushing hug. When they pulled apart Castle leaned forward and captured her in a kiss when they broke apart Kate said.

" I love you."

" I love you too so much." Castle said wrapping her in another hug.

" So we're together no more secrets?" Kate said.

Castle knew he had to come clean if he wanted this relationship to last.

" Come with me I have to show you something." Castle said leading her towards his office. Castle walked over to the screen and clicked on it a picture of Kate showed up.

" Castle what did you do." Kate said.
