Kate Beckett was the last one to wake up that morning. She walked into the living room, after taking a shower and putting her hair up. "Where's Alexis?" She asked Castle as she picked up her red leather jacket off of the back of the couch. He didn't take his eyes off of his laptop when he nodded his head back to the teen's room.

"Meredith called. Apparently she's here."

"Oh."

Castle sat his laptop down next to him and turned around. "oh, what? Kate are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It's just if Alexis sees her mom, I don't want to leave you here by yourself." Kate saw the confused look on Castle's face as she slide on her jacket. "I have to met someone."

"Should I be worried about this someone?"

"No, She's harmless. I'll be by noon," She told him before kissing his cheek then rushing out the door. As she ran towards her favorite Italian cafe, she heard her high heeled boots clack against the bricks on the ground. The bottom of her dark washed out jeans were pressed against the ankle of her boots. As she got to the closer to the cafe, she stripped herself of her jacket, revealing a navy blue button down blouse with a half sleeves. Kate smiled when she saw her grandma sitting at the same small table they sat at every time Kate visited. Her grandma, Brenda, had moved to Italy six years ago. She left Kate telling her to take care of her father. But now, Kate needed a woman to talk to, a woman who had been in love before and who knew about heartache. "Hi nanna," Kate said as Brenda stood up. She wrapped her arms around Kate.

"Katie! I've missed you."

Kate smiled as she pulled away from Brenda. "I've missed you too," She replied as they sat down.

"So why did you want to met up?" Brenda asked her youngest grandchild.

"I'm scared, Nanna. I don't know what to do."

"Is this about your writer boy you can't stop talking about?" Kate felt her cheeks getting hotter as her grandmother mentioned Castle. "Aha, you know grandmas can see these things. Now what is it?"

"Io amore lui." (i love him)

"Oh my. KATIE! have you told him?"

"No, that's why i need to talk to you, What do I do?" Kate asked, putting her hand into her hands. Brenda placed a hand onto her granddaughter's lower arm.

"Katie, honey, slow down. Wait until he tells you." Both Brenda and Kate smiled. For the next few hours, Kate and Brenda talked, ate, and shopped a little. Kate returned by to the hotel around 12.

"Did Alexis go see Meredith?" Kate asked as she draped her jacket over the back of the couch. Rick looked up from his laptop.

"Yeah," He replied as he closed his laptop and sat it on the coffee table. Kate sat down next to him and cuddled into his side. "KB?" Kate looked up at him.

"Hmm?"

"Can i tell you something?"

"Of course."

"I love you," Rick whispered into Kate's hair. Kate smiled.

"I love you too."

"Really?

"Really." Kate looked up at him before gently laying her lips onto his.

The next thing they knew, both of them were laying on the bed, naked.
