A/N: Two chapters in one day to make up for my lack of chapters this week. Have fun reading!

"Remy's" she said breathlessly. Their burgers were to die for, and her and Rick went there frequently after a long case. She got up and put the note into her pocket, walking up to the door.

"Thank you very much Mrs. Parker!" Kate called out, before leaving the bookstore. She walked out into the snow and pulled her jacket tightly around her.

The snow had accumulated to Kate's knees, and she was freezing cold. The coffee had helped her warm up some, but it wasn't doing her much help in this weather. Kate pulled her gloves on and shivered as she took the long walk to Remy's. Her phone started to ring again, and she pulled it out of her pocket.

"Beckett" she answered, without looking at the screen.

"Kate! What's up girl?" Lanie asked.

"Hey Lanie. Nothing much is up, just on a little scavenger hunt. What's up?"

"You're asking me what's up! Girl, I'm looking out the window of my apartment, checking out the snow, and what do I see? Your skinny ass walking down the sidewalk. Why are you outside in this?"

"Rick planned a little Christmas present for me, and I have to find it. And it just happens to be insanely snowing outside. That's all. Shouldn't you be with Javi anyhow?"

"Rick?" Lanie squealed into the phone. "You and Writer Boy are on a first name basis now? I need details girl."

"It's really nothing major Lanie. We were eating dinner at his apartment, and then started dancing, and then we kissed, and now I'm looking for my Christmas present all over this town. That's all" Kate said, blushing as she mentioned their kiss.

"YOU KISSED HIM!" Lanie screamed into the phone. Kate heard Esposito laughing in the background. "Javier Esposito, pay up because I won the bet" Lanie exclaimed.

"Bet?" Kate asked, her eyebrow rising.

"I… Um… Glad to hear you're happy Kate. Please don't freeze to death out there in the snow. I love you too much. Have fun girl."

"Love you too Lanie" Kate chuckled, hanging up her phone. She continued her walk to Remy's, thinking only about the fact that Rick was now in her life more than she'd ever thought he would be. He was right for her. Between her past relationships with Will, Demming, and Josh, she knew Rick was right. Ever since their undercover kiss, she had a feeling that he was good for her.

Kate arrived at Remy's and walked inside. They weren't very busy, and as Kate walked in, their regular waitress smiled.

"Hiya Detective Beckett" the teenager said, pointing to a table over in the far corner. "Mr. Castle said over there" the girl said, before scooping a tray into her arms and walking to a table.

"Does he have everyone in on this?" Kate mumbled to herself, walking over to the table in the corner.

There was a note on the table, with a cup of coffee next to it. Kate sat down and took a sip of the coffee, opening the note and smiling.

See you soon

Kate drew her bottom lip into her mouth and smiled, folding up the note. She'd wanted to see him since their little charade began. She took a sip of her coffee and smiled, sinking back into the booth. The bell that rang with the door opened dinged, and she shot her head up, her eyes instantly expecting to meet Ricks, but she saw someone else.

"Dad?" Kate's father walked over to the booth and sat down across from her, smiling.

"How ya doing kiddo?"

"Wonderful. Dad, what're you doing here?"

Jim Beckett smiled and took his daughters hands into his. "Rick called me earlier and told me his plan, and I couldn't not help him out. Gosh Katie, this guy. I've never seen a man go through so much to win you over. But he doesn't matter to me."

Kate squeezed her father's hands and smiled. "Dad… I…" she started, but he stopped her.

"Katie, you're happy. I can see it in your eyes. It's that look your mother always had when she looked at you. It's incredible."

Kate smiled and squeezed her dad's hands again, sighing happily.

"Dad, I'm happy. Beyond happy, actually, I'm crazy about him."

"Be good to your heart kiddo. Don't spend all of your time waiting around. Let yourself be happy." Jim leaned over and kissed his daughters forehead, smiling before he got up from the booth. He pulled a note out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"Have fun kiddo."

Kate took a deep breath and opened up the note, smiling.
