Kate's pov
We sit down in our usual booth, but this time there are two bodies shoving us in.
"So Kate what was little JJ like?"
"She was a little rascal always running around, didn't like to wear a shirt, always had to give her opinion. Don't get me wrong it was cute but not so cute at 11 at night after a long day at work. It always made me smile though she refused to sleep until I came home and read her a story. She wouldn't let any of her babysitters do it. Sometimes I thought it was payback sent from my mom and others like now it's a real blessing to have her around." I say giving Jess a short little hug and a kiss on the head.
"That's cute and little Alexis was like that too crazy little girl. But then she grew up way to fast." He says giving her a playful glare.
"Hey." She joked slapping him on the arm. I laugh at the two of them I hope one day Jess and I will become that close again.
"I hate to interrupt but do you guys know what you want?" The waiter asked.
"Yah." We all answer simultaneously.
"Four cheeseburgers with fries two chocolate large shakes and one vanilla what kind of shake do you want Alexis?" I ask.
"Strawberry please." She says to the waiter.
"Is that all?" She asks politely.
"Yes that'll be all." Castle says.
"So how's school going Alexis I know it just started but you are taking a lot of hard classes."
"It's pretty good so far I have had a lot of homework even though we just started. I was expecting it though Senior year is tough and I made the choice to make it tough."
"Yah I remember my senior year I wanted to get into law school really bad so I made it extremely hard on my self sometimes I would go an entire three to four days without sleep until my mom stepped in. She told me nothing was worth making myself a zombie not even getting into law school."
"Yah I guess so." She replies. "How's your freshman year staring off?" She asks changing the subject it was so obvious I think Rick got it.
"Pretty good I really like my English teacher. I'm not so into geometry though." Jess says.
"If you ever need help I can help you." Alexis says. I wish I had a sibling like Alexis so nice and caring.
"I might just take you up on that." She says warningly.
"Alright Rick how has your next book been coming?"
"Pretty good so far I'm almost finished with this one."
"Good I'm glad." I say.
"Yah so Kate how does it feel to finally be free of the hospital food and beds those are so uncomfortable." He says making me laugh. He can take a really hard emotional moment and make it into something not so bad.
"I don't know yet I'll have to wait until I get some food but I'm pretty sure your right those beds did not do so good for my back."
"I am always give you a massage or refer you to a good chiropractor." He says knowing that he's testing boundaries there.
"Hmmmm you sure about that?" I ask raising my brow.
"Yes. Both options still stand.
"Well it think I might just need a good massage." I say seeing his face light up. "And I can get one after seeing that chiropractor you recommend." I say seeing his face fall in defeat only to light back up.
"You're a tease Beckett and nobody likes a tease." He says and I feel a ping of guilt I've done nothing but lead him on for three full years.
"Fine I could go for a little back massage Castle." I say in defeat it's the least I can do after what I've put him through and it'll give us a chance to talk in private.
"How about I swing by your place at lets say 12 with lunch and a massage after?" He asks testing to see if I am serious.
"Sounds great." I say and swear the second after the girls both let out a squeal of delight pulling Castle and I out of our trance.
"What?" He asks.
"Nothing." They both yell a little too excitedly. "Oh and uhhhh can we go shopping together for clothes this time?" Alexis asks totally trying to get us alone together.
"If that's ok with Jess?" I ask knowing that she's extremely cautious of people seeing her scars hell she didn't even tell me about them for the longest time.
"Sure mom." She says smiling she's definitely hoping for us to get together along with Alexis and Martha, the entire Castle gang ships it.
