Sorry it has taken me a while to update I've been trying to write the party screen but I failed. Thank you all so much for reading, following and reading. So here we go how I was going to write all the chapters at the start of this fan fic... in the morgue the morning after. Enjoy!

"Aspirin?" Alexis asked Lanie "The togas were defiantly a hit last night." She added. It was Sunday morning and they had both been called into work unexpectedly. The case that Lanie had been called into help with yesterday had still proved no definite cause of death even after an all night stint by a well trained ME they were barely closer to find a cause of death.

"mmm." Lanie said swallowing it dry, full of self pity. The effects of the alcohol still had not worn off from the previous night.

"Lanie, what happened last night after I went to Paige's?" Alexis asked suspiciously at around 10.30 Paige had asked Alexis over, and after changing out of her toga she left leaving the adults to their own devices.

"Honey you don't want to know and I'm not even sure I want to remember half of it."

"How much did you drink?"

"Not much, until Javi started dancing."

"Bet that was something to watch."

"It probably was, to bad I joined in and then..." Lanie trailed off.

"Then what?"

"Then the inevitable, well let's just say that Caskett has been confirmed. Alexis, honey if I only teach you one thing let it be this... If you're ever trying to keep a secret then don't drink."

Next day...

"Your very happy today Ms Castle" Lanie pointed out.

"Last night I learnt something."

Last night

The day had gone slowly and the case still ran on late into the night. Alexis managed to escape the morgue at ten and quickly rushed home. At ten o'clock exactly she opened the door to the Manhattan apartment.

"Hi dad." She said automatically hanging up her keys.

"Oh hi." Castle said turning his head around to face his daughter.

"Hi Alexis." Kate said nervously as she pocked her head that had previously been snuggled in Castle chest above the sofa.

"Hi Kate, sorry I didn't know that you were here."

"Hi, do you want to watch the movie with us it's just about to start?" Kate asked mainly out of politeness.

"No, thanks for asking, but I better get to bed they found another body just before I left and they believe it was the same killer, so I'll have an early start tomorrow."

"Shame, good luck in finding the killer." Kate replied.

"Thanks, night dad, Kate."

"Good night honey."

"Night Lex, and your sure it's not zombies again."

"Yes dad I'm sure." She said walking up the stairs.

"Shame she couldn't watch the movie with us." Kate said.

"Not really because if she did I couldn't do this." He said before learning and kissing her."I love you Kate Beckett." He whispered into her lips

"Rick I...I." She couldn't say it, more like she did not want to. When she says it for the first time she wants it to be special. But just then the trumpets started playing from the round-sound speakers and she realized that it didn't matter where or when she is because she was with Richard Castle and that's what made it special. If there was one thing that movies had taught her is that it wasn't situations that make people fall in love it's the people. She took both his hands in hers and met his eyes "I love you and even though it's taken nearly five years for me to say this..."

"Kate..." He interrupted her and then silenced her with a kiss. She put her arms around his waist as the kiss became more passionate and they slowly sunk deeper away from the world until the noise of Alexis's door shutting brought them back to reality.

She had seen it all.

"And I think it's of the best." Alexis said. She had spent most of last night tossing and turning, but at four AM she had an epiphany. She had listened to all Kate had said how careful she was with her words, and this had made her realize that Kate wasn't one to throw her feelings around. This had reassured her, this had finally made her one hundred percent sure that whatever happens it was all done with the best intentions.

"Well as long as everyone's happy." Lanie said as she took a bit of her sandwich.

"They are for now."Alexis said in a sing-song voice as she walked towards the vending machine.

"For now maybe, but she won't be after what I have planned for her after lunch." Lanie told her sandwich.
