Lanie POV

Minutes passed. Doctor told us everything. 21% to full recovery alone 17% with the baby. It was Jim decision to make, because Castle after today's event couldn't think straight. We decided to help Kate's father, because that wasn't easy decision and we all are kind of a family. 4% more or less not much in theory, but every % is important if we talking about someone's life.

"I think it's hard, but Katie will never forgive me if I would tell them to save only her." Jim said.

"You're right, but what about Richard, he could lost his wife and child at once and I can't even imagine how he will put himself together after that." Martha said.

"Yeah, but in theory he doesn't know about the baby." Alexis told the truth.

"I'm on Jim's side. She would never forgive us for that and why we even think that they will not survive this. I know 17%, but how much do you think she got after being shoot on Montgomery's funeral. 2% she got 2% and she did it, because Castle said that he loves her. And now she knows that so she will be fighting. Fighting for their future for our future. Plus I think she desperately needs to know how is Rick and what happened to the LokSat. I think I don't need to remind you how stubborn she can be to got information that she needs to know."

"You're right Lanie. And by the way this 17% is to full recovery not to survive. " They all agreed and Jim told doctor what to do. They have to save them both. There is no other option.

We were waiting for what it felt like forever. In meantime other doctor removed this loose piece of the bone from Castle. I'm so grateful for this small surgery, because now Castle is sleeping and we don't have to explain him why Kate is still in there. I was on edge to got a heart attack from stress, but then I saw a familiar face coming from the operating room.

"Chris" I jumped up to my old friend from the university who I set up for a date once with Kate.

"Lanie and the rest of Kate's family. Well the surgery is over. They are still critical, but they are alive. The incoming 48h will be important. I can't promise you anything, but there are high chances that they both will survive. I just don't know yet if she will have 100% recovery, but we will get to that."

"Oh thank God" Martha said. Everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Any news?" Ryan and Espo asked. They went to the cafeteria so they didn't hear what the doctor said, which is good because they still don't know about the baby. At least Kate will be able to surprise them and Castle.

"She's out of surgery. Alive, but still critical."

"Ohh that's great. I mean not the fact that she's critical, but the fact she's alive." Kevin said.

"When can we see her?" Alexis asked.

"Well we will take her to the room next to your dad's, but for now you can just look at her through the window. She shouldn't have any visitors for now. I will tell you tomorrow if you can go to her. Everything depends on her condition."

"Thank you doctor for saving my daughter." Jim said.

"You shouldn't thank me. Me and my friends were doing our job. She was the one who was fighting not us."

"Ok thank you again. Now let's go see how Richard is and tell him the news." Martha said.
