Castle was in the kitchen cooking while I sat at the counter talking with Martha. "Martha?"
"Yes kiddo." She says smiling.
"Umm Rick asked me to move in and I just wanted to make sure that it was okay with you as well, because you live here too and I still have to ask Alexis, but I wanted to ask you first."
"Kiddo, listen and listen good." She says leaning in closer to me. "You will be moving in here eventually since you are marrying Rick and Kate we've really just been waiting for the day that you do. Now all that's left to say is how fast can you move in. we need you here to keep him in line and out of mine and Alexis' hair." She says smiling.
"Well I'll need some help, but I think Rick wants to do it this weekend since we have it off." I tell her.
"Well I'm sure Alexis will jump at the chance to help. So how are you going to tell her?"
"I guess I'll just come out and say it." I tell Martha.
"Come out and say what?" I turn and see Alexis walking towards us.
"Umm well your dad asked me if I wanted to move in and I wanted to see if you were okay with it before I gave him a finale answer." I tell her and I'm nervous. I can feel my heart beat pick up as she stands there with no emotion on her face. Before I start to panic and start rambling I see the corners of her mouth pick up.
"Finally." She says before she's running to me and hugs me tight.
I laugh at her antics. "You're really okay with this?" I ask her needing to know that she is sure about this.
"Yes, more than okay. I've been waiting for this since… forever." She smiles and hugs me again.
"Thank you Alexis." I whisper into her hair.
"Why are you thanking me; I should be thanking you." She says her face contorting to confusion.
I have the same expression on my face as I look at her. "For what?"
"For what?" she asks surprise in her voice. "For what? You gave me a mom a real mom, a family. I've never seen Dad so happy, ever. You're the last puzzle piece to our Picasso of a puzzle." She smiles at me and I lightly laugh.
"Oh Alexis, you have filled a whole I didn't even know was there until you guys came along. I love you." I tell her and pull her back into another hug. God I never hugged this much until I started dating Rick and had to get use to the Castles and there hugs.
"I love you too mom." I smile as she calls me mom and pull her tighter to me.
