Dedicated to the amazing people on twitter who have sent me such amazing tweets about my writing and also to all the people who review. I write for my own entertainment but I also write because of you! Thank you for being so amazing and sticking with me in this story.

"You need to pack your clothes," Rick declared, the brunette nodding slowly as she approached the large bag she'd purchased for her luggage before starting to throw her clothes inside, not bothering to argue anymore as Rick leant across to stare at the images of the detective. There were images of her getting dressed, sleep, playing on the beach with him- pictures of all her time in Cornwall. They'd been here for a while and they'd been waiting for the perfect moment to inject fear back into their lives, the moment they were happy and felt safe. "I need to pack a bag," Rick stated as Kate threw the bag over her shoulder before walking towards him and hugging him, her face burying into his neck as he held her close to him for a moment. "I'm sorry, I thought we were safe," he whispered as she remained perfectly still. "I thought you were safe."

"They've been watching us," she mumbled as he nodded and looked down at her, his lips pressing a kiss into her hair before he led her out of the bedroom and towards the room he'd been staying in to pack his own bag. "Where are we going to go? We don't have any family out here and you can't have that many contacts here," she said quietly as she sat down on the edge of his bed and watched him throw some clothes into the bag before walking towards her and smiling weakly. "You can't drive, you've been drinking," she mumbled as he groaned, remembering that both of them had drunk more than you should if they were going to drive. "Rick we can't drive, we can't go anywhere. We're not risking our lives on something that stupid," she whispered as the writer shook his head and moved towards the bedroom door, his hands touching the door to check that it was locked before he shut the curtains and turned to look at the brunette who was sat on the edge of the bed nervously.

"Help me move this," he declared, the brunette nodding as she stood up and helped him slide the chest of drawers in front of the door, the top of it resting underneath the handle as she bit into her lip and moved towards the bed again in her figure hugging dress. "It's just for one night and then we'll go as early as possible," he stated, settling an alarm on the clock on his bedside table before sitting down beside her and holding onto her hand. "Kate," he whispered as she shook her head and moved to relax on the other side of the bed, her back facing him as he stared at the dress that was clinging to her perfect figure. "You won't sleep in that Kate," he declared before unbuttoning his shirt and pulling it off. "Wear this," he stated, watching as she sat up and gently took the shirt off him before smiling weakly and walking towards the en-suite, the door shutting as Rick removed his pants and stared down at the boxers he was wearing. Was that appropriate to wear with his new girlfriend in the bed? Should he put something else on? "Kate is it okay if I just wear boxers or do you want me to put on a shirt?" he asked quickly before the door creaked open and the brunette walked out in his white shirt, her dark curls flowing down her shoulder as she smiled weakly. "You look beautiful," he said quietly as she walked towards him and knelt down beside him before he slowly relaxed back on the bed so he was lying down. "I'm sorry that this is happened Kate," he said quietly as she shook her head and moved to lie down beside him, her body facing him as she bit into her lip and found his hand, holding onto it tightly before leaning in to kiss him again. "I'm supposed to be keeping you safe," he declared as she smiled and slowly led his hand to her scar, his eyes drifting down to see their fingers resting against the stain on her perfect skin.

"You've kept me safe since before I even knew how much danger I was in," she whispered as he continued to stare at the scar. "Richard Castle, don't you ever doubt that you've protected me and kept me safe because I was dying before you came into my life and you've kept me sane and made me laugh and you've stopped me from dying so many times," she declared, his arms wrapping around her as she buried her face into his bare chest. "You're keeping me safe just being here," she whispered quietly as he smiled, keeping her close as they both relaxed into the hold.

"Come on sleepy head, let's get out of here," Rick said quietly as Kate moaned and turned around in the bed to face away from him, a laugh leaving his lips as he buried his face into her cherry scented curls, a moan leaving her lips as she turned her head and pressed a random kiss to his cheek as he stared at her. "We need to get going," he declared, her head nodding as she sat up and stared down at the shirt she was wearing, his arms wrapping around her as she laughed gently before creeping out of the bed and grabbing the clothes that she'd left out, the writer watching as she slid into the en-suite. It was still dark outside but he hoped that if they left now they'd have a chance to get away from everything and have another start. Hearing her enter the room, Rick smiled as he turned and watched Kate throw his shirt into her bag before closing it and pulling the strap onto her shoulder and approaching him in complete silence, the two of them pushing the chest of drawers aside before stepping out of the room. Approaching the front door, Rick sighed as he opened it and watched her walk towards the car before he locked the door and quickly slid the key where it was originally before running over to join Kate in their rented car. "Let's go," he declared, trying to force the smile onto his face as they climbed into the vehicle.

"I'm sleepy," Kate mumbled, the first words she'd said that morning as he reversed out of the drive and quickly began to drive down the roads.

"There's a blanket in the back, get some sleep" Rick declared, watching as the brunette grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around herself before shutting her eyes. "We need to change the car, we should go and get something else, something different," he declared as she groaned, hating all this change. Why couldn't they be an ordinary couple? Why couldn't they just enjoy their lives without constantly looking over their shoulders? "We don't have to, it's just an idea Kate," he admitted, glancing across at her before focusing on the road again. "Tell me some stories from Katherine Beckett's childhood," he smiled as she groaned and shut her eyes before laughing.

"When I was really little I used to wait up for my mom to come home sometimes," she stated, her eyes remaining shut as she remained curled up in the seat with the blanket surrounding her body. "I used to wait until my dad had gone to bed on nights when she was really late home and then I'd sneak back out into our living room and sit on the couch and curl up into a ball and just watch the front door waiting for her to come home," she explained, Rick smiling as he listened to her memory. "She'd always come in and kick her shoes off before dumping her files and purse onto the table that was near the door before walking towards me, she'd lift me into her arms and press a kiss into my hair and she'd carry me to her room," she declared as she smiled, allowing herself to silently enjoy the memory of her mother. "She'd remove her jacket and lie down on my bed with me and she'd sing to me until I was asleep, she did it every time she was late home," Kate smiled as Rick nodded, looking across to see Kate smiling to herself. "She was my mom and my best friend the whole way through my childhood, I told her everything," Kate admitted.

"I like to think that I was Alexis' best friend when she was little," he smiled as Kate nodded. "Having a child is the most amazing thing in the world, it's strange to have such a connection with someone," he admitted as Kate laughed and looked across at him for a moment. "I stare at Alexis sometimes and just ask myself how I made someone so perfect?" he declared as Kate smiled.

"She really is wonderful Rick," she stated before sighing and shutting her eyes again. "I can't wait to have kids one day," she admitted before yawning, the writer smiling as he realised that sleepy Kate told a lot of secrets.

"You want to have kids Kate?" he asked, wanting to get as much out of her on the topic before she falls asleep.

"Yeah, a boy and a girl," she yawned as she relaxed into the seat. "I want to experience both," she declared before sighing. "Going to sleep now," she declared as he nodded.

"Go to sleep beautiful woman, I'll wake you up when we get somewhere" Rick smiled, continuing to drive as she began to fall asleep in the seat beside him.

"Kate," Rick called out as he leant across and gently pressed a kiss to her forehead, smiling when her eyes gently opened to look at him. "We're at a hotel," he declared as she nodded slowly. "Why don't you go and check us in and I'll bring our stuff in?" he suggested, watching as she climbed out of the vehicle with his wallet full of money before disappearing into the building. Walking towards the boot of the car a few moments later, Rick sighed as he grabbed their bags before locking the vehicle and walking into the hotel to see Kate waiting for him with a room key in her hands. "So we are?" he asked as she smiled and walked towards the elevator as he followed.

"We are Mr and Mrs Jameson," she declared as his eyebrows rose, her eyes rolling as they stepped into the metal box together. "They didn't have two rooms and I didn't want to say two different names and I think Heat and Rook are too noticeable and Jameson works so yeah you're now Mr Jameson," she smiled as the writer nodded, the two of them stepping out into the corridor before she walked towards their room and unlocked the door.

"Are you happy sharing a bed with me Mrs Jameson or do you want me to sleep on the couch?" he asked as he entered the hotel room to see the couch in the corner of the room and the double bed on the opposite side. "Maybe we should test how much space there is on the bed and then make a decision," he quickly added as she rolled her eyes before kicking off her shoes and lying down across one side of the bed, her eyes immediately shutting as the writer watched her.

"Mr Jameson you going to join me?" Kate invited as Rick nodded and removed his own shoes before relaxing down beside her, a gentle smile covering his face when the brunette turned and cuddled into him again. "Tell anyone I want babies and I'll kill you," Kate added, the writer laughing before nodding again and relaxing, trying to fall asleep as he held the brunette close to him. "Do you think they've found us?" she asked.

"I don't know but we'll keep moving and find somewhere to stay, we'll do it Kate, we'll get through this," he promised, her head nodding slowly as she yawned, amazed that she was still tired. "I can't believe you told someone I was your husband".

"Shut up," she warned.

I have a random question- I am thinking about writing a Christmas fanfic and was wondering whether you'd be interested. I wouldn't have it out until December but I was wondering whether that would be something you'd want to read.
