Warning, Kate might seem really out of character in this chapter and I have no idea where this chapter came from but for some idea I decided to go with it because it seemed to work and well, my mind seemed to like it for some reason. Thank you for your reviews and please continue to comment, I love hearing from you all about what you think of the story and I hope to able to update in my normal amount soon. Sorry for the delay, laptop issues still!

Lying on the beach, Kate sighed as she relaxed on the sands, the sun beaming down at her as the writer watched her from the sea. She was beautiful. Her brown hair curled naturally while the black swim suit flattered her figure and highlighted the bump they both adored. Walking out of the cool water, he quickly approached her and smiled, sitting beside her quickly. Running his hand to the bump, he smiled as her hand joined his, bringing a smile to his face. He was engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world and he was happy. He'd never felt this way about Meredith and Gina and it was exciting and new.

"Our families are coming tomorrow, that includes the precinct lot as well. I thought a family barbecue maybe, it's easier than having to cook something properly and I know we'll never get Lanie off the beach once she gets here" he smiled, Kate nodding as she removed her sunglasses and beamed at him, her eyes locking on his as he leant down and sighed, his lips moving to hers quickly. "And I thought that maybe, you'd like to marry me as well" he suggested onto her lips, shocking her slightly as her eyes locked onto his to see the sincerity in them.

"You're serious?" she asked, sitting up quickly in shock. "You're serious about marrying me Rick? Tomorrow?" she asked quickly, the writer nodding as she bit into her lip and turned, staring across at the house and then back at the sea. Standing quickly, she grabbed his shirt and pulled it on, pacing up and down for a moment as she thought about everything. He wanted to marry her tomorrow? It seemed like an unbelievable fairy tale and not her life. Richard Castle, the novelist who she adored, wanted to sweep her off her feet tomorrow and marry her.

"I could make it perfect Kate, our families and friends on the beach. Beach barbecue as a reception, everything could be perfect and it could happen Kate" he promised, the detective staring at him in shock.

"It sounds like a fairy tale Rick and fairy tales aren't real. There aren't happy every afters in real life, in my life" she explained, the writer standing quickly and taking hold of her hands. "This doesn't seem real Rick, it can't be real. Things like this don't happen to me ever. If anything, the complete opposite happens to me".

"This can be out fairy tale then Kate. I can make it everything you've ever dreamt of" he smiled, his arms wrapping around her as she stared at him. "I want to give you everything I can, I got you pregnant and that's not right. We went wrong there but from that I've realised all I want in the world is to spend my life with you because I haven't smiled this much because of a woman in my whole life except for my daughter" he explained, shocking her slightly. "You're not a fake person. You do a proper job and you make my daughter happy and you keep me on my toes, so why can't we have a fairy tale?" Rick asked.

"Because they're not real?" she whispered, the writer pulling her close before kissing her lightly. "Rick I want to marry you but this just seems too much like a dream" she admitted, the writer staring at her as he ran his fingers across her cheek.

"Stop overthinking it Kate. It's time to stop thinking with this" he smiled, touching her head and laughing before kissing her again. "And start thinking with this" he sighed, resting his hand above her heart and smiling. Standing in silence for a moment, the writer beamed before getting down onto one knee. "Katherine Beckett, will you marry me tomorrow?" he asked, silence filling their surroundings for a moment.

"Yes" she whispered, helping him off the floor before pressing her lips to his. "Yes, let's do it. Give me the fairy tale Rick. I want a fairy tale, I'm fed up of just having murders" she smiled, kissing him quickly before laughing. "We're getting married" she squealed, Rick nodding at the statement before lifting her into his arms. "Oh my god we're getting married tomorrow" she panicked, staring into the writers blue eyes as her fingers ran through his hair. "We need to get a move on Rick, there's so much we have to get done".

"You need to stop stressing already, I'll get it done" he sighed, Kate glaring at him as her feet touched the ground again and she crossed her arms across her chest, her eyebrows rising. "I promise I'll get it sorted Kate" he smiled, pressing a small kiss to her forehead before taking hold of her hand and smiling at her. "Why don't you go and call people? Tell them about tomorrow? Although, I'll do my mom and Alexis" he suggested, Kate nodding as she slipped inside the house, smiling to herself.

XOXOXOXOXOX

"Girl why are you calling me? You're on holiday, enjoy it" Lanie moaned, the detective smiling as she relaxed on the bed and sighed, her hand running to her stomach before she giggled lightly. "Someone sounds happy, what's going on in the Hamptons then?" the ME quickly asked, the sound of a man's voice down the line bringing a bigger smile onto Kate's face.

"Are Ryan and Esposito with you?" Kate asked, hoping that they were so she could do this in one and stop herself from having to do it separately. "I really need to talk to all three of you, if they are there. It's about tomorrow" she explained.

"Sure, I'll put you on speaker" Lanie explained, doing what she said quickly and sighing. "So what do you have to tell us about tomorrow?" she asked; Ryan and Esposito moving closer to the phone as Kate breathed out and stared down at her engagement ring.

"Well tomorrow isn't just going to be a barbecue anymore" she explained, knowing this would confuse and interest her friends. Waiting for a moment as silence filled the room, she smiled before approaching the window and seeing Rick pacing up and down the beach with his phone to his ear. "Rick and I are getting married as well" she finally admitted, three gasps responding quickly in answer.

"You're getting married? Oh wow" Lanie smiled, Esposito and Ryan laughing at the comment. "None of us were expecting that" Lanie admitted, the two detectives nodding in agreement as Lanie rolled her eyes. "Ryan and Esposito would talk but they're in shock right now, I'm sure they'll respond in a minute" the ME laughed, earning a glare from the two men.

"Congratulations Beckett" Ryan beamed, his voice still highlighting his obvious shock at Kate's news.

"Yeah congratulations Beckett" Esposito smiled in the direction of the phone, Kate sighing as Rick turned outside and waved at her, the brunette beaming as she waved back. "Well we've got to go Beckett; Montgomery keeps sending us messages so we'll see you tomorrow. Congratulations again" the man smiled, Kate smiling as she whispered her thanks and then said her goodbyes, slipping the phone back into her back quickly before she ran her fingers through her hair. She was getting married tomorrow!

So what do you think? If you really don't like it, I'll probably delete it and attempt a different direction so please tell me what you think.
