Alexis starts talking and I silently that her for I have no idea what to say. "Hi, I'm Alexis, Rick Castle's daughter; he says hi by the way."

I smile at her then kneel in front of the headstone. "I wish you were here to meet them. You would love them; I'm happy Mom and I hope you're proud of me." I touch the headstone and stand. "Happy Mother's Day, Mom." I say and then take Alexis' hand and walk out of the cemetery.

""""****""""****""""****""""

We got home and Dad walked out of his office. By the look on his face I knew he knew at least something about lunch. "Okay, what happened? Meredith called me and was yelling about something about you yelling at her and you telling her off and I'm concerned. Oh my god Alexis what happened?" he said as he walked closer and took my hand and I noticed that there was a bruise forming on my wrist.

I pulled my hand back and turned to look at Kate and I knew tears were forming in my eyes and I looked down and I ran up the stairs to my room. It was about ten minutes later I heard a knock on the door. "Dad I don't want to talk right now." I said, but I heard the door open anyways.

"Lex, it's Kate." I hear her and I turn my head to the door. "Is it okay if I come in?" she asks and I nod. She comes over and sits on the bed and I sit beside her. "Want to talk about it?" Kate asks.

"I just can't believe she did that. She's never done anything like that and I just don't know what to think about it." I tell her and put my head on her shoulder. "Does Dad know?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry sweetie, but I had to tell him." Kate says the apology in her voice as well as in her words.

"No it's okay I wanted to tell him I just didn't know how, thank you."

"You're welcome." She says and I move to lie down and motion for her to do the same.

"It's been a long day. I need a nap; could you stay for awhile?" I ask Kate as I play with her ring again; it's becoming a habit and I find it rather comforting.

"Sure." She says and pulls me to her and the next thing I know Kate was shaking me awake.

"What?" I ask her pulling my blankets back up.

"I made dinner, I have ice cream, movies, facials, and even make-up if you want to." She says smiling.

"Really?" I ask sitting up.

"Yes, come on." She holds out her hand and I take it. We walk to the living room and I'm sure my jaw dropped. There were pillows everywhere and blankets on the floor with sleeping bags.

"A sleepover." I smile at her.

"Yep, I figured we could both use it after the day we had. I hope you don't mind, but Lanie is coming over as well, but if you don't want her too she said that is fine and she would totally understand."

"No it's fine. Thanks Mom this is amazing, best Mother's Day ever." I smile and hug her. There is a knock at the door.

"Lanie thanks for coming." I tell her.

"No problem girl, now where is soon to be Mrs. Writer Boy." Lanie says as she hugs me.

I laugh. "In the living room." We walk in and I see Dad dancing with Kate. I pull on Lanie's arm and point to them.

"Aww aren't you two sickeningly sweet." Lanie says jokingly. Dad and Kate let go of each other and Kate smiles at Lanie.

"Lanie." Kate says.

"Hey girl, okay now Writer Boy you have got to go it's girls night." Lanie says pointing at Dad as her arm was around Kate.

"Okay night girls have fun." He says before kissing my head and hugging me and then walks over to Kate and kisses her. She slaps him on his chest and smiles at him.

"Go and do some writing while you can." She tells him as he walks up stairs and leaves us to our girls night.
