This will wrap up this story.
Remember what I said about reading the other stories because somethings will not make sense if you don't
This is one of those things
Kate enters the loft and finds it mostly empty. She hopes this will help her with what she needs to tell her husband.
Hanging her coat up and moving to the bedroom, she once again sees her husband working on his laptop with ear buds in his ears
"Hey, babe…I'm home" she calls out loudly enough for him to hear
He turns toward her and waves. "I will be finished in about fifteen minutes"
"I will grab a shower and be right out" she tells him
"Good"
She acknowledges his statement and goes into the dressing room. She locks her service weapon away and discards her day's clothes in the hamper for items destined for the cleaners.
Stepping into the shower, she is trying to work out, in her head, how she will address the conversation that is necessarily coming
She completes her shower in record time and wraps a towel around her body to dry off before pulling on a t-shirt and pajama pants
Walking back to the study it appears her husband has finished up the task currently on the computer. He closes the laptop and turns around just a Kate enters the office
"I ordered diner while you were in the shower"
"OK…thanks" she responds but her mind seems to be somewhere else
Concerned by her demeanor "Everything go ok at the doctor's office?" he asks.
"Uh…yeah…fine" she seems more worried than ever because he knew she was going to the doctor "Babe, can we talk?"
"That doesn't sound good" re reacts to her statement
She reaches out to try and pull him up and they walk into the living room
Once on the couch, she pulls her legs up under her and turns to face Castle. She places her hands on his leg and squeezes
"Do you remember last month when I had that cold and sinus infection?"
"Yes, of course"
"And do you remember what the doctor gave me take for it?"
"Yeah…she gave you an antibiotic"
"And she told me to be careful taking an antibiotic while I was still taking birth control?"
"Yeah" Castle responds not seeming to appreciate her fears
"Well…is seems…" her next statement is interrupted by a knock on the door
"Hold that thought. That will be our supper" Castle jumps up and rushes to the door
"When he returns her is holding two sacks from the Chinese Restaurant around the corner
Kate seems to have a questioning look on her face "You ordered Chinese?"
"I thought it was appropriate for tonight"
"It smells delicious…What did you order?"
He opens the sacks and pulls out the boxes and smiles up to his wife "Pecking Duck"
A look of understanding flashes across her face "You know?"
"Of course I know"
"And you are ok with it?"
"Kate. You know I am. I told you before how I felt about this"
"That was before we had Jimmy"
He reaches over and pulls he to his side "And it still applies"
She has a look of sheer happiness on her face. She stands and pulls him up to join her and she begins to drag him to the bedroom.
Pointing at the take out containers "We will save that for later, when we get hungry again"
As the door closes his voice comes through loud and clear "I love You Katherine Beckett"
"I love you Richard Castle
I truly hope I can keep doing this. I actually have a story line in my head away from Castle, in fact away from all TV shows that I plan to work on
I appreciate all the reviews and PM's I have received
Thank you for reading
