I seen the promo for season six. I cannot wait until the twenty third!
"Are you sure you wanna go through with this?" Castle asked Kate as she stood in
front of the doors to the morgue. She's pacing back and forth and breathing
heavily.
"Yeah. Yeah. She's my best friend I should have told her what was going on.
Don't you have that meeting today? Shouldn't you be there?"
"Tomorrow. I'm going in with you. I'm sure she'll have questions for me too.
Everyone's been waiting for us to get together from day one."
"I'll go first," Kate said still looking a little pale and queasy. "Why am I do
nervous? It's just Lanie. She'll understand once I explain our situation."
"Of course she will," Castle said giving her a quick kiss on her cheek pushing
her towards the door. "Take a deep breath. What's the worse that can happen?"
She's in Lanie's territory. All her medical tools are here so the worst that
could happen...Kate ends up being a body in one of those drawers. She knows
she's over exaggerating because Lanie would never do that. But it still doesn't
make this any less scary.
Esposito is sooo gonna get it.
When Kate walked through the door Lanie had her back to her. She cleared her
throat to get her attention.
"Hey Lanie," Kate greeted timidly.
Lanie turned around and smiled. "Hey! Where've you been? I've been really
worried about you."
"A little vacation to get my head on straight."
"Thought you had fallen off the Castle wagon," she said sitting down her
paperwork and folding her arms. She gave Kate a knowing look to make her
explain. "Turns out you have."
"I can explain."
"I hope so."
"I ran into Castle and we got to talking. I explained everything that I could
and then I thought it'd be good for us to get away for a while so we could work
on the foundation of our relationship. We barely contacted anyone. It was
supposed just a secluded vacation with each other. I'm sorry for not telling you
any of this. I wanted to keep the knowledge of Castle and I potentially getting
together under wraps," Kate explained.
"I get that. And you know I wouldn't push for information if I know you aren't
ready to tell. It just hurt that I heard about it through someone else."
"I'm sorry Lanie. I am truly."
"It's alright. Just don't let it happen again. Gimme a hug."
When they parted Kate asked how Esposito knew that she and Castle were together.
"He said he guessed. When you came into the precinct he figured the only reason
for your return would have been for Castle. Since that's the reason why you
left."
"Definitely not the only reason. I would never make choices based solely on a
guy," Kate muttered.
"Anyway how are you and Castle? Things okay?" Lanie asked returning to her
paperwork.
"Great! Amazing actually. We still have things we need to work through but for
the most part we're good. It's or well, we are official."
"Have you guys," she gave Kate a look but continued. "Done it?" Kate shook her
head but smiled and said yes. "Ha! I knew it! So details."
"I'm very good at telling stories but that one will have to remain with the main
characters," Castle exclaimed when he walked into the morgue. "We're good here
right?" He asked pointing between Kate and Lanie.
"Yeah." Lanie answered. "But don't think you're getting out of answering my
question."
"Oh would you look at the time," Castle said checking his watch. "We're late for
the thing."
"Kate!" Lanie whispered. And when Kate turned around Lanie held her hands out
together about seven inches apart.
Then Kate mouthed "ten" before Castle dragged her out. In the hall she heard
Lanie laughing.
"Would you have really told her?" Castle asked once out of ear shot.
"Not everything. Just the important stuff."
Castle chuckled lightly and took Kate's hand. "What do you wanna do today?
Alexis wanted to get back to school and my mother is working on her new play for
her students."
"I was actually gonna head back to my apartment for a while." Castle looked at
her then stopped walking.
"You're not coming back to the loft?"
"I miss my apartment. But I need more clothes anyway."
"Oh. Okay. I get it, I understand." Castle took her hand again and presumed to
walked forward.
"Castle I can tell you're upset. It's not that I don't want to live with you
it's just that it's way too early for us to make a move like this."
"I know. Sad our vacation had to end shortly. I was looking forward to spending
all day and night with you."
Kate smiled and shyly looked away from him. "We've still got a couple of weeks
before I head back," she explained. "We have plenty of time to spend with each
other."
"You're right. I'll drop you off at your place and then I'll call you after my
meeting tomorrow."
"Sounds perfect."
Three months Later
Kate was watching over him. Standing right by his desk to make sure that he was
doing what he was supposed to be doing. It's his job! He asked for it and now he
has to pay the consequences.
When he finished the last sentence he threw his pen and stretched his fingers.
"A couple weeks down. And several more to go," exclaimed Kate. "How's it feel?"
"Like I'll never open my mouth again to anyone. I'm sorry," Esposito said.
"Too late to apologize. Better get started on your own paperwork now."
Kate walked back to her desk she could hear Ryan laughing at his partner. She
smiled to herself as she sat down. Just like old times minus the mystery writer
that's usually stuck to her side. He's attending his last meeting before he has
to go to L.A. for his first book signing of his tour. He promised to stop by
before he leaves though.
During these three months Kate's been accepted back into the precinct with open
arms. Of course there were jokes about her being a "feebee" but she took them
like a champion.
Gate's welcomed her back warmly and the boys made jokes about how she couldn't
solve a case without them. Kate and Lanie have been spending larger amounts of
time together off work.
Kate has spent majority of her weeknights with Castle at his loft and on the
weekends he comes to her place. Since he'll be on your he gave her a key to his
place so she could come in any time she wanted.
The past three months have been great. They both are finally on good teens with
each other and aren't holding back from emotions anymore. They communicate as
well as they ever had but it's definitely improving. She's glad she risked it
when they ran into each other the second time because their relationship now
couldn't be better.
"Hey Beckett!" Ryan yelled from across the bull pen. "We gotta fresh one."
I could say this is the official last chapter. I wanna end it now because the
love is no longer being denied. That's why I wanted to strengthen Kate's and
Alexis' relationship. Since both Castle and Kate are in such a good place I feel
the story doesn't need to go on much anymore. I will be doing an epilogue though.
I wanna thank all you guys so much for your support on this. If it wasn't for you this story would't have went anywhere. It's been a fun and long journey though. It's sad to see this come to an end but hopefully if you like this you'll consider reading any new stories of mine or current stories that I'm writing. Thank you all again so much. A special thank you goes out to theputz913 for all her love and support. She's just as a part of this story as I am. Thank you so much.
I hope you all enjoyed it and had fun on this ride. :)
