This chapter is a shorter one in comparison to the others but its filler and the next chapter will be the start of their Hampton holiday. I hope you enjoy it and please review, your response has been amazing in the past and I hope you continue to enjoy this just as much. Honestly, the amount of people who have said this is one of the favourite stories has surprised me in the greatest way!

"Mom, dad I need to talk to you about something important" Kate sighed as she entered the living room to look at both of her parents, worry covering their faces as she stood in front of them and let out a deep breath. "Mom, dad I'm…" she began.

"Oh god you're pregnant aren't you? I'm going to kill that man" Jim announced, standing quickly as Kate shook her head and laughed; smiling at how her father's first thoughts were pregnancy.

"I'm not pregnant, I've not even slept with Rick yet" Kate laughed as the man relaxed and sat himself back down beside his wife who rolled her eyes and quickly took her husband's hand. "Rick and I are going away for the weekend to his house in the Hampton's" she blurted out as Johanna smiled lightly at her daughter. "I know that you might not like the idea of us going anyway for a weekend together but I'm eighteen and I'm allowed to go away with who I want" she explained, Johanna laughing gently as she stood up. "Mom…" she began.

"Just be careful okay?" the older woman smiled, kissing her daughter's forehead gently as Jim groaned.

"Thanks mommy, you're the best" she whispered, hugging her quickly before walking towards her bedroom. Hearing her mother following her, Kate smiled as she entered her bedroom and watched her mother enter the room with her; the lawyer shutting the door beside her before she sat down on the edge of Kate's bed. "You okay mom?" she asked as the older brunette nodded slowly.

"I just want to know that if anything makes you feel uncomfortable when you're away, I'll come and get you okay? I know that you're eighteen and grown up now but you're still my baby and I will come and get you if you need me too" she explained, Kate smiling as she quickly wrapped her arms around her mother and sighed. "You and Rick are getting serious aren't you?" she asked, running her hands to her daughter's cheek as Kate nodded slowly. "And you want to start doing things?" the older woman asked as Kate nodded slowly, slightly embarrassed that she was talking to her mother about this.

"Rick's different to everyone else" Kate explained as Johanna nodded slowly. "He isn't pushing me into this mom, he's kinder than anyone else and he treats me like the only woman on the planet. He dedicated a whole book to me mom" she laughed, the brunette nodding again as Kate laughed gently and relaxed back on her bed.

"Just be careful okay? You don't want to be telling your dad in a couple of months that you're pregnant because he will kill Rick for that. He's a protective dad and he won't think twice about making sure that Rick has no more babies" Johanna laughed as Kate nodded and stared at her mother with a small smile covering her face.

"I love you mom" Kate smiled as Johanna laughed gently and leaned across to press a kiss to her daughter's forehead. "Rick wants to meet for dinner when we get back from the Hamptons on Monday" the brunette admitted as the older woman nodded and smiled.

"I'll tell your dad and I'll meet you at the restaurant after work okay? I have a huge amount to get done but I will defiantly be there because I will want to know all about this break" Johanna explained as Kate nodded and laughed; hugging her mother quickly before the older woman stood up and sighed. "I better go and calm your father down and try to persuade him that you're defiantly not pregnant" she smirked, Kate's eyes rolling as she watched her mother leave the room again. Kate couldn't imagine a world without her mother in because she kept everything calm!

XOXOXOXOXOXO

"So are they letting me steal you away for the weekend?" Rick asked as he sat on the couch, the phone pressed against his ear while Alexis was curled up fast asleep against his side. It was strange spending a whole day without seeing the brunette woman and he'd missed her a lot, his daughter missing her almost as much.

"Yes, they've agreed to let me come with you for the whole weekend Mr Castle" she smiled, the writer smiling at the sound of excitement in her voice. "You have my all alone for Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Are you sure you're not going to be bored of me by the end of the weekend?" she asked as he smiled.

"I could never be bored of you Katherine Beckett" he explained as she giggled lightly and relaxed on her bed. "You're my inspiration and the only woman who can make me smile in the way that you do" he admitted as Kate giggled lightly at his comment. "Also you have a gorgeous personality and you are so beautiful and my daughter also adores you more than any other woman on this planet" he smiled as Kate nodded gently. "You are my ideal woman".

"You're just making things up now Richard Castle" she laughed gently as the writer smiled at her laughter. He loved it when she laughed; he couldn't help but smile at the sound. "I better go, I need to pack as we're going in two days and I have loads to get done" she smirked, the writer moaning at the sound of her saying goodbye.

"I don't want you to go" he moaned as she giggled lightly. "I haven't seen you all day Katie, I'm having withdrawal symptoms" he explained, Kate laughing as she shut her eyes and just listened to sound of him now laughing as well.

"Just remember Mr Castle, we have the whole weekend together on the beach, no one around for miles and me in a bikini" she smirked, the writer groaning as she giggled lightly. "I'm going to have so much fun this weekend" the brunette smiled before she sighed. "Now I really have to go so I'll see you soon and I promise I'll make up for your withdrawal symptoms".

"You better do Kate" he smirked before he looked down to see his daughter now staring up at him. "I have to go, Alexis is awake and it's bedtime" he smiled, Kate groaning this time as she sighed. "I'll see you for our amazing weekend together" he laughed.

"I'll see you for a whole weekend of just us Rick" she whispered before they said goodbye and hung up on each other, the writer sighing as he looked down at his daughter and sighed. Life was perfect!

So what do you think?
