Chapter 37th Shadows Of My Mind
Dr. Jerome Middleton was not looking forward to this session, he was not looking to put back the pieces for when it comes to Richard Castle, emotionally and mentally.
He needed to take a break from the mountain of paperwork, he decided to call his wife Roberta and check up on her.

Home...
Roberta having just gotten out of the shower after exercising, outside in the back yard doing yoga to loosen up her muscles, the weather outside was some what nice for the end of February.
She walks out of the bathroom, when she hears the house phone ringing, she goes to pick it up.
"Jerome, what's wrong?" Thinking that he doesn't normally call her this early.
"I needed to hear your voice, and besides I missed you, along with the fact that I feel, some what lost at the moment with today being Castle's big day in a few hours."
"Hon, you need to think positive during the session, jeez!, you two have been through a great deal already, why give up now?" She says with confidence.
"You know what!, your quite right, I am just acting crazy right now, along with being tired, I need to recharge with some food and coffee at the cafeteria before it starts?"
"Call me sweetie, when it's over." She replied.
"I will!, but first I need to call Kate Beckett, to make sure she is coming in the first place." He ends the call with his wife.

Loft
Kate Beckett was on her way out to the rehab center when her cell phone went off, she stop dead in her tracks at the entrance of the door. "Beckett!" She says to the caller.
"It's Doctor Middleton, I am just calling to confirm that your going to be there for the session Kate."
"I was just on my way over when you called, I will be there within the hour Dr. Middleton."
"Very good see you then Mrs. Castle."

12.30 P.M.
Jake went looking for Dr. Middleton, he was just walking onto the floor, when he sees Jake coming towards him.
"What's up Jake, is there a problem that I should know about at all?"
"Nope, the patients started to arrive, including Richard Castle and Judith Smiths, she is here for emotional support for Richard Castle, and before I forget, Mrs. Castle is here, she's inside talking with her husband."
"I hope to god that she is able to handle what happens today in that room Jake?"
"Me to Jerome, lets get inside to go over everything before we begin."

Inside the session.
Richard Castle wasn't saying all that much to his wife at the moment, he was ready to get this whole thing over with already. He was listed to be first with the session.
Jake calls everyone to attention giving the usual speech on how things are supposed to be. "Mr. Castle, please come sit with your dummy, while Dr. Middleton will be sitting in the front of you, he will be placing you under hynosis.
Castle gets up from his seat having to be watching over in the corner with his wife Kate looking on.
"All right lets begin." Dr. Middleton says to everyone. "Castle please look at the pocket watch that I have in the front of your face, concentrate on it, with listening to my voice."
He keep telling him to look at the pocket watch, as his eyes were starting to close, along with being really relaxed.
"Castle, can you hear me, I need for you to go back to the time you were being taken care in some form of a prison or hospital, do you happen to know who the woman is that's taking of you?"
"Yes, she's my adopted daughter Shonda, she's been kept from me, ever since she was born 25 years ago, my father has been keeping her in hiding all of these years, she was asked to help me to recover from being shot, I didn't know about all this, until the time I was abducted, my father and my mother had another child, they thought it was best for me to adopt her many years ago to help protect from his enemies from over the years."
"Mr. Castle, where is Shonda now?"
"I don't know, my father won't tell me, even though my mother has been trying to make contact with him on where she might be."
Kate Beckett was some what shocked by all this, she was thinking mostly the worst that he might of been her father by another woman other then herself, but to find out that his own father had taken her away from him."
"When you say that Shonda is adopted, were you married at the time?"
"Yes, I was married to Meredith, she knew, even though she or myself never saw her, since my father and mother had placed her into hiding, I was very young to take care of Alexis and Shonda at the same time."
"Mr. Castle, is it possible once you find her, would you and your wife be able to take care of her?"
"I would have to discuss it with my wife first before anything else."
"All right then, can we go back to the time, for when you were in Montreal, Canada with Henry Jenkins, is it possible in what he did, along with Adam Lane, is the reason you were really upset at the fact for being raped by both men?
Yes!" He was very quiet after that. Dr. Middleton decided to wait for a few minutes before deciding. He waived his hand to have Kate Beckett come over to him. She walks over very slowly and shaken.
"Listen, I need to end this now, tomorrow is another day, but what are you all right with this latest information?"
"In a way yes, I was thinking the worst that he might of been with another woman and fathered a child, but this, I can handle, and I would be sure that my husband would want to look for her, no matter how much money and time that it may take."
"Very well then, but I would like for you to stay with him, and do what ever it may take to make him understand, along with any type of sexual release that he may need."
"I understand, I just want my husband back!"
