Kate was in total shock she couldn't believe that one question could turn her world up side down she knew Castle wasn't going to forget anytime soon so she
took a deep breath and just as she was getting ready to say something she heard Maddie's voice. She was so relieved that Maddie had chosen the perfect
time to show up. "Hey sorry I'm late, how's Kay... Your dad?" Maddie asks looking up from her phone to see Castle. Kate gives Maddie a hug and whispers in
her ear " nice save.". "Hey Castle long time no see, I hear your dating my best friend here." Maddie says trying to change the subject. "We have actually been
dating for awhile, now can someone please tell me who Kaylee is." Castle says. Kate and Maddie look at each other in terror. Jim looks over at the small group
as he finishes the paper work to see his daughter and her best friend speechless. He hurries to finish and walks back over "Hey Rick you want to take a walk
with me to the cafeteria I'm starving." Jim says. "Yeah sure, Kate you want to come." Castle asks. "Rick is it ok if she stays back here with me I need to talk to
her." Maddie says. Castle nods and Jim and Castle head to the cafeteria. After they are gone Beckett let's out a sigh of relief "You came just in time." Kate says.
"Kate what happened why is he asking about Kaylee?" Maddie asks. " I'm guessing because the doctor asked him if he was Kaylee's father." Kate says still in
shock of the situation. "What did he say?" Maddie asks. "Nothing my dad pulled the doctor away before he could say anything." Kate says pinching the bridge
of her nose which is what she always does when she was stressed. They went back to Kaylee's hospital room and sat in silence thinking about what they
where going to do." Kate what are you going to tell him." Maddie asks. "Maddie to be honest maybe it's time I told the truth." Kate says. "You love him a lot I
can tell because you would never tell anyone about her if you didn't plan on spending the rest of your life with them." Maddie says. "Yeah I guess your right."
Kate says with a smile across her. Kate checked her watch it was about had been in surgery for about an hour an a half now and Dr. Stevens came in to give
her an update "she made it through the surgery great she is in recovery now and she will be brought back to her room in about 30 minutes." Dr. Stevens says.
"Thank you." Kate says. "Your welcome." He says back as he leaves. Kate and Maddie sat there for awhile talking "should I go get your dad and take him home
or do you want to just sit here and discuss it a little?" Maddie asks. "Can we discuss it a little more please." Kate pleads. "You got it Becks." Maddie says. The
half an hour went by way to quick they brought her daughter back in and she was wide awake talking to everyone saying she was hungry Kate knew she was
in pain but she was way to proud to show it. Maddie stayed and talked with the both of them for awhile and then got a phone call from Ali freaking out cause
she wasn't home. "Kaykay it looks like I got to go." Maddie says. "Ok bye love you,tell grandpa I love him to." Kaylee says. After Maddie left the doctor came in
and gave Kaylee something to help her sleep she was out within 5 minutes. Kate was laying in bed next her daughter twirling her daughter's chestnut hair
around her fingers when she heard a voice in the door way." She's beautiful." Castle says. "Thanks, how did you figure it out." Kate asks. "The weird looks, the
doctor asking if I was her dad, but seeing you laying there with her put it all together for me. The way you look at her is the way I look at Alexis. But what I
don't understand is why you didn't tell me you had a daughter." Castle says. Kate climbs out of the hospital bed and walks over to Rick. "I guess I just didn't
know how. I wanted to tell you so many times I just couldn't." Kate says. "Kate you can always tell me things but since I kind of know what's going on you
want to tell me the whole story.
It could be a little while before I post a new chapter but it all depends on how much school work i get. Keep the reviews coming!
