Hey guys! I know I left it on such a cliff hanger, I couldn't update for a while because I've been super busy with school and homework. Wasn't Castle great? I love seeing a jealous Beckett Enjoy and review and I promise I won't leave this chapter on a cliff hanger! (Well not a big one anyway)

"Well I h-" Kate began... But she couldn't finish, just like the other times because this time it was her cell phone that was ringing. "Sorry, I have to take this Castle." Kate said getting up and walking towards the break room. It was Lanie calling her, "Lanie, what's up?"

"Kate, I need you to come to my place ten minutes. I don't care what you are doing, this is important." Lanie practically shouted down the phone to Kate.

Kate looked out of the break room and watched as Castle was furiously typing on his laptop. "Uhhh, Lanie, I am a little busy at the moment. Can it not wait for a couple of hours?"

"No, Katherine Beckett you get your butt to my place right now or imma smack you girl!"

"Fine, this had better be important Lanie." Kate replied letting out a sigh.

"It is bye." Lanie said as she disconnected the call.

Kate rubbed her temples; she just couldn't catch a break to tell Castle. If only Lanie's call had come five or so minutes later she could've told him. Now she had to break the news to Castle that she had to go. Kate walked out of the break room. "Kate!" Castle said smiling.

"Listen that was Lanie on the phone. She wants me to go to her place right now, apparently it is very important. Sorry Castle." Was all Kate could really come up with.

"That's fine, go! Lanie will be getting impatient. I'll walk out with you." Castle said getting up, he packed up his laptop while Kate packed up her desk.

Castle then helped Kate get into her coat, which Kate found very cute. Their fingers briefly touched, sending warm sensations all around Kate's body. They locked eyes, all Kate could see in his eyes were compassion, for the woman he loved, which was her. "Well, we had better get going." Kate said breaking Castle's gaze as she picked up her bag and walked towards the lift.

"Yes, we certainly don't want a grumpy Lanie now, do we?" Castle replied scuttling after Kate.

The two walked into the lift, Kate was secretly hoping it would just be her and Castle in there. Luckily for Kate her little wish came true. "So Castle... Are you going to tell me about your writing? I don't think I have ever seen you looking so concentrated before." Kate said teasing Castle a little.

"Well, I don't know whether to be hurt or happy." Started Castle, "But as I said before Beckett, I am not going to give away any of my book before it is published. However you still get the first copy, even though you are being such a pain about it."

"Me! Being a pain? Please Castle; I have to work with you every day." Kate replied, trying to keep a straight face.

"Aw come on now Beckett." Castle whined at her.

They had reached the car park now; Kate pulled the keys out of her pocket. "Bye Castle, see you tomorrow." Kate said smiling.

"Bye Beckett, text me after you have been with Lanie. I want to know what all of this is about." Castle replied.

"You are too nosey for your own good!" Kate said poking Castle playfully in the chest.

"Ouch!" Castle cried playing along, "So will you tell me?"
"I might Castle, but it depends... How about we make a deal? If I tell you what happens with Lanie, you tell me about what you have been writing on the story today." Kate finished, she knew he wouldn't agree.

"Ohh, come on. You are no fun." Castle said sulking.

"I really have to go now, bye Castle." Kate said rolling her eyes.

"Until tomorrow Detective." Castle replied smiling as he walked towards his car.

Kate couldn't help but smile as she pulled out of the car park, Castle, her Castle, her Rick. One day she would be able to proudly introduce Castle to all of her friends. Just the thought of it made Kate feel all warm and gooey on the inside.

Five minutes later Kate was on Lanie's doorstep, she knocked on the door. Lanie appeared on the other side, who actually looked like she was glowing and she had a grin from ear to ear. "Kate! I was beginning to wonder where you had got to. What were you doing?" Lanie said ushering Kate inside taking a seat on the couch.

Kate took a deep breath. "I was..." Kate trailed off.

"Katherine Beckett, is there something you would like to tell me? Come on girl!" Lanie cried.

"Don't say a word Lanie, or else you are dead." Kate said as Lanie nodded. "I was actually going to tell Rick that I... That I heard him say I love you to me when I was shot and that I love him back." She finished.

Lanie looked like she could fall off the couch, and her eyes could pop out of her skull completely. "What!" Was all she could manage.

"Yeah, nobody knows about Rick saying I love you to me, I pretended I never heard." Kate replied.

"Why?"

"I just... I didn't know how to deal with it. Because there was Josh on the scene back then and I just didn't want to dive into a relationship with Rick. I was still sorting my head out. But it has changed now, I feel like I am ready."

"Wow! I am so happy for you!" Lanie said smiling, "You have to tell him soon, we have all been waiting for you two to get together and make little Castle babies. We even came up with a couple name for you two."

"Really?"
"Yes, really. We came up with Caskett, your last names put together." Lanie finished, smiling.

"Wow, that's really cute. I love it!" Kate replied, grinning.

"So when will you tell him?"
"I keep trying but we keep getting interrupted every single time. It is like the world is against us getting together or something. I have to tell him soon though..." Kate trailed off suddenly going very red in the face.

"Spill, what is it?" Lanie practically shrieked.

"The other day when we were in the lift together I had to fight the urge of pushing him up against the wall and make out with him." Kate finished looking down.

"OH MY GOD!" Lanie looked even more shocked.

"Anyway, what was so important you had to call me away from confessing my love to Rick?"

"Well..." Lanie said holding out her left hand, which had a big diamond ring on her ring finger.

"Wow, that's beautiful! Did Javi propose to you?" Kate asked, looking at the ring.

"Yeah, just before at lunch! I am so happy!"

"Wow, congratulations Lanie! I am SO happy for you two! You are perfect for each other!" Kate said hugging her friend.

"Yeah, it's amazing! Hopefully it will be you and writer boy soon!"

"I won't even bother denying this." Kate said smiling.

"Wow, anyway I had better get ready, Javi is picking me up for dinner."
"Yeah, go get ready! I am so happy for you two, congratulations again!" Kate said.

"Thanks, and celebration drinks are tomorrow at five at the Old Haunt."

"Okay, byeeeee!" Kate said as she walked out of the apartment.

Kate quickly typed a quick message to Castle: OMG! Javi proposed to Lanie!

No more than a minute later Castle replied: WOW! That is awesome, they are made for each other

Kate thought of a quick reply: Yup, they sure are. I am so happy for them. I had better go. See you tomorrow

Castle replied very quickly again, he was a very fast texter: Me too, night Kate. Sweet dreams.

Kate's heart nearly burst when she read the text, he was adorable. She had to be careful not to text back saying I love you. Instead she wrote: Night Rick

Kate really was crazy in love with him.

I hope you guys liked this chapter, I certainly like writing it. Please review
