Well I guess I'm carrying on with the story

They stood in each other's arms for a while longer before Rick said, "I think it's time for bed Kate."

She looked at him, and in a quiet voice, as if she wasn't really sure if she wanted him to know the answer or not, "Can I stay with you?"

"We'd already decided that you were staying in the guest room Kate." As he spoke, Castle untangled himself from Kate and began to walk through to the lounge.

Kate followed, "I know that Rick, but that's not what I meant. I meant can I sleep with you?"

He looked at her, shook on his face. Kate rolled her eyes, "I don't want this night to end Rick. Bits of it were hard but I wouldn't have it any other way."

Rick smiled, and then turned off the TV and looked at her, a smile on his face. He didn't say anything, just held out his hand, which she took, and walked back into his office and then into his room.

He let go of her hand and went to his draws, and pulled out one of his t-shirts. He turned back to her, "You ok to sleep in this?"

She looked at the tee then nodded, taking it from him. He nodded towards the en-suite. She went in and shut the door. She sat in the toilet seat and thought about what had just happened. She had told Rick that she loved him and that she remembered and he had shown her his big secret, that he was carrying on her investigation, with the risk of being killed. She got changed then looked down at the borrowed tee. She laughed; it said I'm with stupid and had an arrow pointing to the left.

She went back into the bedroom and saw that Rick was already in bed and the duvet was turned down beside him. She went and lay next to him, the arrow on the tee pointing at him. Rick gave her a funny look and she said, "You're the one who gave me the shirt Rick."

He shrugged, "And it looks better on you than it ever did on me."

They both laughed and Kate moved across so she was lying against him. He reached over her and pulled the cover over her, covering the both of them. He put his arm around her and pulled her close. She reached and put her arm across his chest and the other one around his waist.

"Love you Castle."

"Love you too."

The next thing either of them knew, Kate's phone was going off, waking the two of them from their blissful and deep sleep. Kate groggily reached for the draw beside her but when she couldn't find her phone. She sat up and saw her jeans and realised her phone was still in the pocket.

She sighed and got up and reached the pile of clothes just as the ringing stopped. Picking up her jeans she pulled out her phone and saw that she had a missed call from Esposito. She turned to Rick, who was propped up against the wall and watching her. "Looks like there's a body Rick and I need to go home and change."

He nodded, "Give me ten minutes to get showered and dressed and then we can go together."

She thought for a moment, then nodded. "Ok Rick. I'll make some coffee while I wait."

He went into the bathroom and she picked up her clothes from the floor. Making sure the door to the en-suite was shut she quickly got changed back into yesterday's clothes. After folding Rick's tee up and putting it on the bed, she walked out of his room and into the kitchen. Looking around she put coffee beans into the machine and turned it on.

Ten minutes later, Rick walked out of his room, fully dressed but his hair still wet. Coming to stand beside Kate he said, "You ready to go?"

She nodded, then said, "Don't you want your coffee?"

He looked down at the counter, seeing the cup that she had made or him. Picking it up he turned and pulled a blue travel mug out of the cupboard. He poured his coffee into the mug then turned back to Kate, "Let's go Kate. You still need to get changed and everything, I'll drink on the way."

She smiled, "Ok Rick." She looked down at her half-finished cup, "You got another mug?"

He turned back to the cupboard and pulled out another mug, this one pink, "Sorry about the colour," he said, taking her cup and pouring the rest of her coffee into the mug.

Taking the mug from him she said, "No worries Rick." She looked at her watch, "We really need to go."

Castle nodded and they left together.
