A/N: So here's the next chapter, as promised. Thanks you so much for your reviews, I really appreciate them. The next chapter will probably be the last. Enjoy this chapter and let me know what you think! Chapter 14
Kate Beckett was sitting in the ambulance, carefully being examined by a doctor. Castle sat next to her while holding her hand. They were both silent, waiting for the doctor to say something.
"You should be fine. It was just a harmless pill inside the wine that causes nausea and sometimes headaches. The other glass was tested positive for poison, if you had drunk that you'd be dead in less than one minute." The doctor finally said.
Castle felt all the worry just wash away and without thinking he grabbed Kate and pulled him very close against him. Kate was surprised but she didn't mind. After a few seconds Castle held her so close she could barely breathe so she said, "Castle, a little air please?"
Castle now realizing what he'd just done said, "Yeah, sorry" and pulled back. After the doctor gave her a pill against the nausea they could go. They stepped out of the ambulance, into the freshly fallen snow, where the police cars were waiting for them.
Kate shivered from the cold and Castle immediately gave her his coat. "It's okay Castle, you don't have to. Otherwise you'll be cold." She protested. "Are you kidding, even if I was lying naked in the snow I probably wouldn't even care. I almost lost you, and right now I probably would do anything for you, the coat is the least." He sounded sincere.
She felt very warm, but it wasn't from his coat. Castle held the cars' door open for her and got in after her. Ryan and Esposito were sitting up front in the car. In the other car, with detective Hagen and Chavira, were Bob and Felix. As the car started to drive Beckett suddenly furrowed her brow, as if she was trying to figure something out.
"How did you know where we were?" She asked Ryan and Esposito.
Esposito turned around to Castle and asked him, "Didn't she know about the text?" Beckett turned to Castle who answered him: "No, there was no chance. If Felix or Bob had found out they would've killed her sooner."
"What text?" Beckett asked both men. "When we were in the car with Bob, I send Esposito a text message saying 911. I knew they would probably be able to trace the phone, and hopefully in time." Castle explained.
Beckett's eyes grew wide and she said, "That's… Very smart."
Castle grinned. "Why detective Beckett, is that a compliment I hear?"
She just sighed and smiled. She looked out the window, watching the snow fall. She had always loved snow. When it had snowed the world just seemed a little bit different, saver. Her mother loved snow as well, and every year when it had snowed, they built a snowman or sometimes woman.
Castle watched her as she stared out the window. She smiled and she seemed happy. Somehow he didn't dare to look away from her, as if she would be gone if he did.
When they arrived at the precinct Alexis and Martha were already waiting for them. "DAD!" Alexis jumped up, ran towards him and gave him a hug. "Are you alright? I was so worried." She said.
"Pumpkin, I'm fine." He assured her. Alexis watched Chavira and Hagen come in with Bob and Felix. "Which one hurt you the most?" she asked. "Em… Felix, that's the one on the right. Why did you ask?" But at the last part she was already walking towards Felix.
"Don't you ever hurt my father or detective Beckett again!" She yelled at him and slapped him across his face, that was already bruised by Castle. "Alexis!" Castle had ran towards her and grabbed her arm. "He's a psycho and a killer. You can't just go and hit psycho killers." He told her.
Kate Beckett watched their further conversation with amusement. She found him really sweet with his daughter. She smiled at the sight of them arguing. Ryan walked in with detective Chavira.
"Hey, Rick Castle and Kate Beckett. You are both still under arrest, because all the evidence says you killed three people. We just interrogated the others and they say that you wanted to kill them too." Detective Chavira said.
"Don't worry I have a confession and an explanation for the murders on video." Castle said and reached inside his shirt and pulled out a tiny chip, which he handed to Chavira. "okay you can go now." Ryan said. "No they most certainly can't! They'll go when I say they can go." Chavira said, clearly agitated.
"Bye." Castle said as he, Beckett, Alexis and Martha walked out of the precinct, ignoring Chavira.
" Mother, will you take Alexis home? I'm going to bring detective Beckett home first." Castle said to his mother.
"What? Castle I'm totally capable of coming home myself." Detective Beckett said.
"I didn't say you weren't, I'm just saying that I'm going to bring you home." Castle said.
She decided to not argue, since she was getting pretty tired. It had been a long day, and she just wanted to get home.
A/N: To answer the reviews about not letting Beckett die, I could never do that. I don't know when I'll update again, it probably also depends on the reviews. I hope you liked this chapter.
