One Night Stand

Chapter Fourteen - "Making a decision"

Kate has to make a decision. Will she go back to him or will she say goodbye to him forever?

Another two days later...

She still ignored his calls, even though she just wanted to run back into his arms. She couldn't take this any longer. It made her feel miserable. Her baby bump was growing from day to day, which made her happy, but also reminded her of all what had happened in the last four weeks. She had slept with him again after telling him she was pregnant, they were a happy couple, she got shot, had to stay in hospital, stayed at his loft for a week and then they went to the Hamptons. They had been happy the first three days but then everything went south that one evening. She saw him kissing that woman a week ago, broke up with him and went home. She had stayed at Lanie's for a week now, she wanted to go back to her apartment. She would go back home today... home? She sighed. There seemed to be no luck for her at the moment. The only good thing in her life right now where the little babies she was carrying inside of herself. She loved these babies and no one and nobody could ever change that.

She stretched and her mind wandered back to the case they had. A young man had been found dead in his apartment yesterday. Espan were interviewing their suspect at the moment while she was stuck with evidence and paperwork. The only thing that was normal, was the murderboard. It was still her job to write everything on it. They had the young man's name, Andrew Tenner, DOB, DOD, COD, a photo of him, the timeline, the suspects name and a photo of him. The evidence was on the right side of the board, along with photos from the crime scene above it. She seriously hoped that they had caught the murderer so she could finish on the paperwork and go home. She needed to do something else. She couldn't sit around here all day long, doing paperwork and thinking about Rick. She had to ban him from her brain but her brain refused.

At quarter to four o'clock she was interrupted. Officer Hastings stood in front of her desk. "Detective Beckett? There is a girl downstairs who wants to talk to you."

"Who is it?"

"Alexis. She said her name was Alexis."

Kate nodded slowly. Had Castle sent his daughter now? "I'll be downstairs in a minute."

"Okay." Hastings a made her way back to the elevator.

Kate got up and went into the Captain's office. "Sir? Can I have the rest of the day off? I finished on the paperwork."

Gates nodded. "I'll see you in the morning, Beckett."

"Thank you, Sir." She left the office again, grabbed her jacket and made her way to the elevator.

"Alexis?"

The young girl turned around. "Kate, thank god. I'm so glad to see you," the young redhead said and hugged her.

"Me too, but you have to answer me honestly now. Did your father sent you? Because it won't work."

"No. He doesn't even know I'm here."

"Fine. Shall we grab a tea?"

"Yes."

The two women left the Precinct and walked down to a little coffee-shop.

"So, why do you want to see me?" Kate asked.

"Dad."

"No."

"Kate, please. I want to know what happened. Dad's not talking to me. He's just sitting at home all day long, thinking about a way to make you change your mind. What happened?"

Kate bit her lip. Was he really at home all day long? Thinking about a way to get her back? "He cheated on me. That happened. He kissed another girl. I trusted him and he cheated on me."

Alexis bit her lip as well. He father had told her something like that as well. "So he didn't lie to me, that's good."

"I thought he didn't tell you anything."

"I lied. Sorry. He told me there was a woman he didn't know and that she kissed him and that you told him you two were over and that you left. You wouldn't want to talk to him and the next morning he saw Lanie picking you up."

"Yeah, I guess he didn't lie to you but it seemed as if the woman knew him."

"He's a bestseller author. She was probably a fan thinking she could have a chance sleeping with him."

Kate looked at her feet.

"He wouldn't do that to you, Kate. He wouldn't cheat on you. Trust me, he loves you too much. He has been cheated on, he knows the feeling, he wouldn't do that to you. He understands that you think he cheated on you and he understands that you don't want to see him or talk to him. He really does but he needs you, Kate. I know it sounds like some sappy romance movie, but he can't live without you. He barely slept because he's always trying to figure out a way to show you he's sorry and that he didn't lie to you."

"Are you sure? I mean... " She sighed. "I can't be without him. I can't sleep, work or do anything without thinking of him. I miss him when I try to sleep, I miss him when I'm working, I miss him all day long. My heart says that he didn't lie to me and that I can trust him, because I love him but my brain says that he cheated on me and that I can't trust him anymore."

"Then listen to your heart."

They entered the coffee-shop and each of them bought a tea and a chocolate cookie.

"Do you think you can at least talk to him, Kate?", Alexis asked.

"I... I don't know... I wish I knew... I'm not sure about anything right now."

"But your not going to... I mean you will still have the babies, right?" Alexis asked, tears shining in her eyes.

Kate knew what the young redhead meant. She stopped in her tracks and hugged her tightly. "Of course. This is not changing my mind about having these babies, Alexis. I love them. Me fighting with your father doesn't affect the babies. Not yet at least."

Alexis nodded and swept away her tears.

At the same time...

Rick stopped the car in front of Jim Beckett's house. It was a small but very beautiful house a little outside of New York City. This was probably the last way to make Kate change her mind. If her father believed him, she would believe him as well.

He got out of the car and went to knock on Jim's door. Shortly after he had knocked, the door opened and Jim looked at him.

"Rick, hello. What can I do for you?"

"Can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure, come on in."

Rick stepped in and Jim closed the door behind him. He followed him into the living room where they sat down.

"Do you want to drink something, Rick?"

"No, thanks."

"Okay. What can I help you with."

"I have a problem. A really huge problem. You know I was in the Hamptons with Kate?"

"Um... actually, no."

"Oh... well, now you know. We were in a club for dancing after we had been out for dinner and there was a woman. She came over while Kate was visiting the ladies' room. She claimed to have spend a week in Los Angeles with me but I totally didn't know her. When Kate came back the woman kissed me. Out of nowhere. Kate saw that and... she thinks I cheated on her... "

"Well, did you cheat on my little girl?"

"For god's sake, no! I would never do that to her."

"Have you told her that?"

"I tried. She doesn't want to talk to me not see me. She ignores my calls and text messages. I don't know what to do anymore. I love her more than anything but she doesn't believe me. She doesn't trust me anymore."

"She's probably hurt."

"And I can totally understand her. When my first ex-wife cheated on me... I never have been hurt like that before. I know what it feels like to be cheated on, another reason why I wouldn't cheat on somebody, especially her, Jim. I really, really love her. I can't live without her. She is pregnant with my babies, I thought we could be great parents for them and that woman just ruined it all."

Jim saw that the man in front of him was nearly crying. He decided to believe Rick that he wouldn't cheat on Kate. "I will try and talk to her but I can't promise you anything. You do love her from the bottom of your heart, right?"

"No, I love her with everything I have. I would give up my whole life for her. I would do everything for her."

"She doesn't need much, I just want my little girl to be happy. When I met you two and she told me she was pregnant, she was happy. Truly happy. I could see it in her eyes. You make my little girl happy, Rick. She deserves to he happy. She is standing in her own way sometimes, she and I both know that. I will talk to her and explain to her what you told me but I can't promise you anything. She's a stubborn woman. As stubborn as her mother was. But she's not stupid. She will get around again, she just needs time."

"She can have all the time she needs, I just need to know that she's fine and that she at least believes that I didn't lie to her."

Later that day...

It was a little after 6pm when Jim knocked on his daughter's door. It took a few seconds for her to open up.

"Dad, hi."

"Hello Katie."

She let him in and closed the door again. "Want something to drink, dad?"

"No, I'm fine. Can I talk to you?"

"Sure... "

They sat down on her couch.

"So?"

"I've got visited by Rick today."

Kate groaned.

"No, listen to me. I believe him. He wouldn't hurt you like that, he really loves you."

"Dad... "

"No, listen. He was crying, Kate. I never, and I really mean never, got visited by a crying man asking me to help him to get you back. He explained the whole situation to me and I believed him. I believe him he didn't know the woman that kissed him. He told me he understands you and that he knows what it feels like to he cheated on. He didn't want to kiss her, Katie bug, he didn't want to. He loves you, truly loves you, with everything he has got. He told me as well that he will give you all the time you need to forgive him and that he would do anything for you but I don't think there is anything you need to forgive him. He hasn't done anything wrong."

"What if he doesn't love me anymore? I mean... I told him we were over... I'm not that kind of a girlfriend... I'm not the jealous type of girl... "

"Didn't you listen? Of course he still loves you! I think he knows you pretty well, Katie. He won't be angry with you, he will be just happy that you're fine and came back to him. He doesn't know what to do without you. I know how he feels, because it is the same it was like with your mother. Your mother and I had the same kind of relationship you and Rick have. Hold on to this, you can't find anything better."

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Her father pulled her into a hug and she buried her head on his shoulder.

"I was so stupid... not to trust him... I need him... I can't stop... thinking of him... " she sobbed.

Jim gently stroke his daughter's back and let her cry on his shoulder.

"I should have... trusted him... he wouldn't... lie to me... I was so stupid... "

"Shhhh, it's okay now, Katie."

"No... it's not okay," she replied crying even harder.

He carried on stroking her back and letting her cry on his shoulder for a few minutes.

"Can you drive me to the loft?" she asked quietly.

"Of course. Lets go," he replied with a warm smile and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Twenty minutes later they arrived at Rick's loft. Jim parked the car outside on the street. He and Kate both got out of the car. Steve, another doorman, let them in. They rode the elevator upstairs.

"You're doing the right thing, Katie," Jim told his daughter.

"I know," she said.

The elevator stopped and they both got out. They walked up to his door and Kate knocked after taking a deep breath.

The door opened after a few seconds.

"Kate!" Alexis called out happily and hugged the young woman. "Thank god you're here."

"I'm so sorry... "

"Don't be. It's okay." The young redhead let her go.

As soon as Kate looked up, she saw Rick standing in the door of his office. Kate couldn't do anything but running towards him and kissing him hard. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I've been so stupid not to believe you... " she sobbed.

He kissed her passionately before resting his forehead against hers. "I forgive you, Kate. I don't care, I'm just happy you're back. I can't live without you," he said quietly and kissed her again.

"Are they always like this?" Jim asked.

"Yes," Alexis replied.

"Then I'd say they are perfect for each other, and believe me, I never said that before. I never even liked any of the boyfriends she had before."

Alexis smiled. "They are perfect for each other."

They smiled at each other.

"Good night, Alexis. I'll go home now."

"Good night, Jim. Thank you for talking to her."

"Anything for my daughter."

"Dad says that as well. He would do anything for me but also for Kate."

"Your father is a smart man, Alexis. A father would do anything for his daughter," Jim replied and pressed a kiss to the young redhead's hair. "Sleep well."

"I'll try," she laughed and hugged him before he left the loft.

Rick still had his arms wrapped around her mid section. He still couldn't really believe that his Kate was standing in front of him again. "You can trust me. Always. I wouldn't lie to you."

She snuggled into his embrace. "I know you wouldn't. I know I can trust you. I've just been stupid and I'm sorry for it."

"Don't be. You're pregnant, you saw me kissing another woman. I would have reacted the same way you did."

She kissed his cheek. "Are we fine again?"

"If that means you're still my girlfriend, then yes."

She kissed his lips. "I am still your girlfriend."

He smiled at her. "We wanted to cook dinner. Are you hungry?"

"Haven't eaten much during the last couple of days, so yes, I'm hungry."

"Good."

A/N: *All mistakes are mine*

Is it safe for me to come out of my hiding spot? I hope so.
Hands up who is crying about Caskett being back together! I know you all are crying, cause my Muse cried, too! :)

And now that everybody has finally seen the episode, what did you think of "Still"? I was really scared for Kate..."It's time to say goodbye." I cried like a baby.
