Hey guys! Merry Christmas to all of you!

Here is another fanfic that someone requested, this time from Anatomy Of A Murder. I really loved writing this, and I hope you have fun reading this, too! This one-shot had so many ways it could go, and I decided on one scenario I hope you all enjoy. This one has more Caskett in it and again, hope you like it.

Also, I have no idea if the precinct elevator has a camera, but in the story, it does.

I may not be able to update for the next few days, since I'm going on a trip and as far as I know, there is no Internet service there, so… yeah.

Requested by mobbs fellow.

3x05 "Anatomy Of A Murder"

"Don't worry, Castle, I'd get you out."

Beckett's words echoed in Castle's mind as they walked to the elevator together. As they both stepped in the empty elevator, Castle scooted close to Beckett and took her hand.

"Castle…" she gasped. She was shocked, but she didn't let go or pull away yet. She knew that he only did things like that when he's about to say or do something serious. A wave of panic washed over her. What if something happened to Alexis? Or Martha?

The worry washed away as soon as Castle read her expression. "Don't worry, no one's hurt. I just wanted to say thanks for what you told me back there. About the prison break thing."

"Oh, no big deal. I meant it, though. Just don't get yourself in trouble so I wouldn't have to resort to that." she laughed. She was shocked, however, to see that Castle wasn't smiling at all.

"You know, my mother once told me that being willing to break someone out of prison is true love. You think that's true?" he asked casually, as if he were just talking about the weather or baseball. Beckett's grip tightened on Castle's hand, which she was still holding.

"I don't know, Castle, I mean, your mother isn't exactly known for her little insights." she said, chuckling. She tried not to take it seriously, even though she knew exactly what Castle was implying.

Castle's face fell at that. She thought it was a joke. I should've known not to bring it up. he thought, disappointed. He let go of her hand.

Beckett smiled, seeing the reaction she expected. She continued on. "But… your mother has been known for giving good advice every now and then." She took Castle's hand again, and took the risk at the same time.

Castle smiled, and said, "So do you think that that was just one of her little insights, or good advice?"

"I'd say that was good advice, considering what Greg did for Amy. And look at them now." she smiled, trying to watch Castle's reactions again.

"And do you think her 'good advice' was directed at… us?" he said softly, then regretted it. He hoped she wouldn't hear it and just keep talking about the case. Or Greg and Amy. Anything, as long as she didn't hear that.

Ok, Kate, I guess it's time. Time to let him know. Beckett told herself. "Well, that depends on your reaction."

"Reaction to what?"

"To this." Kate kissed him gently, then pulled back to see his reaction. He smiled, then kissed her back.

As they both kissed, Kate made a mental note to go and thank Martha for her words of wisdom. One day, she'd come to accept Martha's wisdom fully. One day, she'd come to realize that her future was with Castle, and that she wasn't going to let him get away this time.

But for now, she just let him kiss her, and enjoy the moment.

Martha Rodgers stood behind Alexis as she was scanning Martha's MyFace Account. Martha'd do it herself, except for the fact that she was hopeless with computers. She asked Alexis to pause at her private messages. "Hold on, kiddo. I've got a message."

"It's from Detective Ryan. Good evening, Mrs. Rodgers. Detective Beckett's team would like to thank you for whatever you said to your son, Richard, about prison breaks and true love. That statement really made a lot of things happen. Attached is the video of what you made happen. Again, most sincerest thanks, Detective Ryan. Let's see it." Alexis played the video.

That night, as the video was being spread to all the detectives at the 12th, Martha received many thank-yous and requests for her to be their life coach.

Well, she thought as she sifted through all her mail, looks like business is back.

Soooo? Didja like it? Hope it was better than my last chap; that one, I wasn't fond of much.

Anyway, please leave a review and tell me what you think.

Also, thanks for all the reviews for my previous chapters; they really helped me know what you guys thought.
