Chapter 4.
Amanda spoke in Spanish to Javier and he answered her in Spanish. Then they both went back to speaking English, "Hello Uncle Mac, it is nice to meet you, mummy told me that you worked with my daddy, I love you", said Amanda as she let go of Javier's hand and went over to hug Mac, who picked her up and spoke to her gently and told her he loved her too. Mac excused himself from the room and went back to work. Everyone came to see Eva and meet Amanda but they only spent a few minutes with her & her daughter who had fallen asleep on the bed tucked in at her mother's side.
"Eva I am curious about why you wanted Amanda to speak Spanish and why is she curious about my love life?" asked Javier after the others left the room. Eva smiled at her daughter who was sleeping before answering Javier's question. "Javier, the reason I wanted my daughter to learn Spanish was because if my sister turned up out of the blue she would only speak Spanish but also because I spoke about how kind and good you were after I lost her father, I wanted her to be able to come to you and speak a language that no-else could understand expect you and about your love life she just wants you to be happy because she wants me to be happy again", said Eva, Javier looked at her with love in his eyes but knew that Eva wasn't ready for that and he smiled at the picture in front of him.
"Eva I am honoured that you wanted to teach your child Spanish, but why have you not learned to speak it?" asked Javier with curious eyes. "Because I wanted you and Amanda to have something special to share between you", said Eva. At that moment Castle knocked on the door and went in to see if it was ok to take Amanda home, Eva nodded her head and gently woke Amanda up and told her it was time to go visit cousin Alexis. Amanda gave her mother a kiss and a hug then turned to Javier spoke to him in Spanish & hugged him before going to Rick and then leaving them alone in the room.
Once Amanda left with Rick it was Eva's turn to ask Javier something. "Javier why couldn't you tell the most wonderful Dr. Laine Parish that you loved her?" asked Eva, Javier looked shocked at the fact that Eva knew about him and Laine. "You know the reason my heart belongs to someone else, it doesn't mean that I don't care for Laine I do but I just don't have feelings for her the way I do for someone else, but Listen I got to go & let you get plenty of rest and I'll see you around ok", said Javier and with that said he got up out of the chair gave her a kiss on the forehead and left the room.
Once Javier had left the room Eva closed her eyes to sleep, it was a long day for her and so when she slept she found that she could relax and have an undisturbed sleep for the first time in 2yrs. Back at the preicent Beckett and Ryan were in Gate's office explaining what happened and just as they finished Javier walked into the bullpen & headed to his desk so he could finish up the paperwork he left behind before getting the call from Beckett that Eva was awake and doing just fine.
When Captain Gates walked out of her office after speaking with Beckett and Ryan she noticed Det. Esposito sitting at his desk finishing his paperwork. "Well Detective I'm glad you could get back to finish your paperwork, how is Mrs. Ross?" asked Gates and Esposito looked at the Captain for a second before answering her. "Sir, Ms. Hughes is doing just fine and should be home tomorrow with her friends", said Esposito and the captain looked confused and so asked to speak with him in her office & they both went in and as soon as Gates closed the door Esposito explained everything to her. When he was finished Gates told him not to worry that she would continue to keep Eva's story safe just as Roy had planned to and she then sent her detective home.
As Esposito came out of her office Castle and Amanda plus Alexis all arrived to meet the group and as soon as Amanda saw Javier she pulled Alexis along with her to say hi to her favourite Detective. As soon as he heard someone speaking in fluent Spanish he turned around to see Amanda dragging Alexis along with her to come say hello to him and he laughed at the sight of Alexis being dragged towards him. When Amanda stopped all of a sudden it meant that Alexis ended up bumping into the detective and he hugged her and she hugged him back.
When she stepped away from him it was then that Amanda spoke in Spanish to Javier and from the shocked look on his face it seemed to Amanda that she got the reaction she was looking for but didn't count on Alexis understanding. Alexis spoke to Javier in Spanish and told him not to worry that his real secret was safe with her and Amanda is Amanda and just wanted to windup her father. Javier spoke to both in Spanish and they both laughed and after they calmed down a bit they went back to speaking English. Back at the hospital Mac had come to see how Eva was doing and was surprised to find Don's father by her bedside when he went in & found her asleep and resting comfortable and turned to leave when Don Sr found him looking at Eva with love in his eyes.
They both left the room quietly and spoke in the hallway for a few minutes about the case and Mac asked the crucial question that was playing on his mind, "Mr. Flack how do you know Eva?". Don Sr was surprised by the question but answered it with honesty, "Eva is my beautiful god-daughter, I was friends with her father and was best man at his wedding, when Don met her he wanted to ask her out and I told him not to date her because she is my god-daughter". Mac smiled and nodded his head.
They finished talking and Mac left to go home and Don Sr went back to his god-daughter to make sure that she wasn't alone when she woke up the next day. Eva was resting but wasn't asleep and knew her god-father found out what happened but that he didn't know about her baby girl.
