AN: So I just wanted to say sorry about the last chapter being in italics, my computer is not working properly and I didn't even notice it had change.

Beckett woke up to her phone vibrating again.

"Beckett." She said groggily.

"Kate, its Castle." When Beckett heard this she woke up a little more. "I just wanted to tell you that the doctors said that I could go home today at around 12, I was just wondering if you were going to pick me up otherwise I would just tell me driver too."

"Castle do you even have to ask, of course I'm going to pick you up. I'll be there at around 11:30."

"Ok, I'll be waiting for you." Castle said. This made Beckett grin like she was a teenager again and her crush had just said something big to her.

"See you late Castle." She said and then hung up the phone. She looked at the time and realized it was already 9 o'clock; she never slept this late in the morning. She got up and walked out of the guest room expecting to find Alexis but she wasn't there, she heard music coming from upstairs and figured she was still in her room. She went into the bathroom, took a shower, and got dressed. When she came out it was already 9:30 and the music from upstairs had stopped. She wondered if Alexis had already eaten breakfast she went up to her room to find out.

"Alexis?" Beckett said knocking on her door.

"Come in. Oh good morning Kate."

"Good morning. Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

"No I was waiting for you to wake up."

"Oh thank you. Well I have to pick up your father from the hospital at 11:30 so do you want to go out for breakfast and then I was thinking we could go and pick up a couple of things for dinner tonight."

"Yeah that sounds good. Can you give me five minutes and I'll be down."

"Of course." Beckett said, turned and walked out her room, she went downstairs and started to put on her coat, she grabbed her purse and keys and waited for Alexis. Exactly five minutes later Alexis came downstairs in a coat and a purse hanging off her shoulder.

"Ready?" Beckett asked.

"Yupp. Let's go." Alexis said grabbing her key to the apartment, realizing that Beckett didn't have one of her own. She found it odd that Beckett was almost always over their house and her father hadn't bothered to give Beckett a key. Alexis locked the door on the way out and they took the elevator down to the lobby.

"Detective, Alexis." The doorman greeted them as he opened the entrance to the building for them. They walked to Beckett's car which was parked in the parking lot on the side of their building.

"Where would you like to eat?" Beckett asked as they both climbed into her car and she started the engine.

"There is a really good diner two blocks away." Alexis said. Beckett pulled out of the parking lot and drove towards the diner.

"So what do you think your father would like for dinner?" Beckett said.

Alexis began to smile. "So your cooking for him…"

"Yes, it's not a big deal." Beckett said.

"Oh no not at all." Alexis said sarcastically. "I'm just joking, dad's favorite dinner is fettuccine and alfredo sauce with chicken." Luckily Beckett knew how to make that dish, actually Castle had taught her how to. They reached the dinner and Beckett found a parking spot right out front, she parked and they got out of the car and walked into the diner. The first thing they spotted was a group of Alexis' friends sitting in one of the booths.

"Alexis over here." One of them yelled and waved Alexis over to them. Alexis looked at Beckett and then over to her friends.

Beckett got the hint and said "Go over to your friends, it's the weekend hang out with them, I'll tell your father your with them when I pick him up."

"Thanks Kate." Alexis said giving Beckett a hug. Beckett was startled at first but then hugged Alexis back. Alexis went over to her friends and Beckett went up to the counter and ordered a coffee to go. Once her coffee was ready she paid, gave a little wave to Alexis and left the diner. She got in her car and drove to the nearest supermarket. As she was driving she made a mental list of what she needed to get for dinner.

Suddenly Beckett's phone rang "Beckett."

"Hello Beckett." Beckett began to smile when she heard Castle's voice. "I was just calling to check up on my…." Castle paused realizing what he let slip out. "Sorry, you girls."

"Oh were fine, Alexis met some friends at the diner and is hanging out with them and I'm just going to pick up some stuff for dinner." Beckett said, still smile because of his "mistake".

"Beckett you don't have to make dinner for me."

"Castle I want to." And with that Beckett hung up the phone and pulled into the supermarket parking lot. It took Beckett about twenty minutes to get but everything for dinner tonight and by the time she left it was already 11 o'clock so she headed straight to the hospital.

Beckett arrived at the hospital just in time and rode the elevator up to Castle's room, she walked straight to his room and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Castle said, sounding very tired.

Beckett opened the door and walked in, Castle was in his bed signing papers.

"How did last night go?" Castle asked.

"I think we bonded very well." Beckett said with a smile.

"Well you know what that means…" Castle said.

"No, what?" Beckett said confused.

"Were going to have to do some bonding tonight." Castle said with a smile.

Beckett wanted to object but instead all she could do was smile, it was little things like this that made her fall even harder for him.
