Home,

Kate walked in little circles around in the playground, her phone against her ear and her other hand shaking. Lanie pick up! Every beep made her shake more, she just needed to tell her friend.

"Hey Kate!"

"He asked me!" Kate screamed in her phone.

"Girl, what do you mean?" Lanie sounded confused.

"He asked me to marry him!" she just couldn't stop smiling.

"WHAT! He finally did!? Ohh girl I'm so happy for you!" now it was Lanie's turn to scream.

Kate could hear some voices on the background, "Lanie what is it?" Esposito asked. Kate smiled.

"Shh! I need to talk to her!"

Kate could feel the Lanie look she was giving Esposito through her phone, she missed her friend.

"Girl I gonna tell you one thing. You are not going to buy a dress without me!"

"How could I? I'm not going alone!" Kate said.

"Mommy? Can we help you with picking out a dress too?" Suzanne asked, staring at her mother. Nessa standing behind her sister.

"Are that the two devils?" Lanie asked laughing.

"They are no devils!" Kate said laughing. "Is it okay if the girl go with us to pick out a dress?"

"Of course! Well girl have fun on your holiday and we will speak later, bye!"

"Bye Lanie" Kate hung up, watching the two little girls swinging.

Three days later:

"So, everything is packed! Ready to go home?" Rick pulled the last suitcase out of the room.

There was a depressed silence in the house, these days were so good and special that no one wanted to leave.

After they had put everything in the car the little girls had said goodbye to the house, they left.

The drive to the airport was cozy, the girls were singing along with the music and Alexis was handing everyone some food.

Kate still couldn't believe the fact that she was going to marry him, her one and done, the father of her, their, kids. She was happy, happier than she ever was, except the day she found out that she was pregnant.

She was still thinking when the plane took off, Alexis had taken the girls with her to the seats behind them. Rick could tell she was thinking about something, only he didn't know if the thought was good or bad.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked.

"The two happiest days of my life." She turned her head to see his face.

"May I know which?"

"The day I found out I was pregnant and when you asked me to marry you." The smile that came in her lips was priceless. "Yours?"

"I have four days, the first when Alexis was born, the second when I met you, the third when you told me you were pregnant and the fourth when you said yes to my proposal." He looked in her eyes, the love in her eyes grew bigger.

The words had touched her heart, the warm words made her heart melt slowly. The butterflies flew up to hear head, she leaned to him and kissed him softly.

What they didn't know was that the three girls behind them had heard everything and had seen everything. They were completely silent.

In the car ride Suzanne fell asleep and quickly after that Nessa too. Everyone was exhausted, time difference and less sleep was making them ghosts. Kate was turning the ring around her finger, she couldn't wait any longer to talk to Lanie again.

They had put Suzanne and Nessa in their beds and unpacked most of their bags. Alexis was sleeping in a guest room and Rick wanted to sleep too but Kate needed to see Lanie.

"I will be back soon." She said while she took her coat and left.

It was still time for her to work so she drove to the morgue. Walking through the hall she began to shake again, 'why am I shaking? It is just Lanie' She opened the doors and saw her friend putting something in a bowl.

"Hey"

"Girl! You are back!" Lanie walked over, throwing the hand gloves in a trash bin, and hugged her tight. "How was your vacation?"

"Too good to end that fast." She freed herself from the bear hug she got from her friend.

"Show me the ring!" Lanie's enthusiasm was filling the cold room.

She lifted her hand and Lanie gasped, "Oh My Heaven!" she took her hand and held it under her eyes.

That moment Esposito and Ryan walked in, "Hey, your ba..." Ryan's voice broke off when they saw Lanie looking at her hand.

Kate pulled her hand back and turned to the boys, "Hey guys, how are you?"

The boys were speechless, staring at her hand. She clapped her hands once to get them out of their brain freeze.

"Is that…?" Esposito stuttered.

"An engagement ring? Yes it is." Kate couldn't stop smiling.

Ryan walked towards here and hugged her, just like the bear hug she got from Lanie.

"I'm so happy for you!" he whispered in her ear.

When he let her go she saw Esposito standing there with a huge grin on his face, "So he finally did huh."

"What do you mean? And by the way you say the exact same thing as Lanie." Kate looked at Lanie who gave her the angle eyes.

"That ring" He pointed to her hand, "was in his pocket for a longgggg time." He made de g very long for a dramatic effect. "He was scared to ask his perfect detective."

She looked at her shoes and smiled shyly, "Yeah…"

"Go home, you look tired." Lanie said and Kate didn't had a change to argue when the little woman turned her around and pushed her through the door.

She opened the door and stepped in. Closing the door behind her and leaning against it with her hands softly rubbing her face.

Rick had told her that he didn't want to wait very long for the wedding, not too short and not too long. They had planned five months for it. Five months! The first thing she wanted to do was picking a dress a beautiful white one, white as snow, so white as the snow was on their first date.

"Hey" Rick had opened the door and was walking towards her.

"Hey" she replied looking up at him.

"What is it?" he wrapped his arms around her and hold her against his chest.

She felt the warmth of his body, she heard his heartbeat, she felt his strong arms around her, she felt save, this was her home.

"If this goes to fast we can just pick another date." He kissed her hair.

"Ohh no! I don't want to pick another date, I can't wait to marry you." She looked up in his sea blue eyes.

"What is on your mind then?" he stared back at her, concern in his eyes.

"I don't know, I just feel weird without knowing why." She laid her head on his shoulder.

"Come, you need to sleep." He lifted her up in bridal style carrying her to the bedroom.

"Honey this are you supposed to do on our wedding night, not today." She said laughing at him.

"I need some practice, I don't want to let you fall." He said closing the bedroom door with his foot.

The next morning when Rick woke up he saw her laying on her stomach with her face to him. Her hair spread around her head, the sun was shining on her face. She looked so beautiful, her brown hair became gold. He just wanted to let her sleep so he walked towards the kitchen.

"Daddy!" Nessa ran towards her father jumping up.

He grabbed her and spun her around, "Hey there little girl. We have to be quiet because mommy is still asleep."

Nessa covered her mouth with her hands. Rick laughed and walked into the kitchen, he smelled just baked bread. Alexis stood with Suzanne on her hip in front of the oven.

"Look, they are more brown now and do you smell it?" Alexis looked at Suzanne.

"It smells delicious!" She said when she yawned, she wrapped her little arms around Alexis neck and laid her head down on her shoulder.

"sleepy?" she asked when the little girl shook her head she laughed.

"Hey pumpkin" he walked in with Nessa almost in the same position as Suzanne.

"Hey dad, Kate still asleep?" Alexis kissed him on his cheek.

"Yup, so what are you making?"

"Just some warm breads." The beeper went off and Alexis put Suzanne down.

Suzanne walked to the couch and almost fell on it when she tried to climb on it.

Alexis shook her head, softly laughing putting the breads down on the counter.

The bedroom door opened and Kate walked yawning out of the bedroom, "Ohh that smells so good!"

Alexis had cut the breads and had put some butter on it. She gave Castle one, Kate and Nessa. When she walked to the couch she heard a little snort, Suzanne had a pillow in her arms, her legs curled up. Alexis smiled and walked back.

Reviews are welcome, they keep me writing and makes me smiling :D
