This fic takes place in the future the events of Veritas accrued (so if you haven't seen it yet there will be spoilers). Castle and Beckett are married but the season finale is not part of this the wedding will be mentioned but it will be the way I image their wedding. Everything else is as is on the show.

Disclaimer: Me own Castle yeah right! If I did Nathan, Stana and I would be bffs and there would so be a Caskett baby on the way. Andrew Marlow is the lucky owner of Castle, lucky bastard lol. How ever I do own all 5 seasons of Castle on DVD, all 5 Nikki Heat books, a calendar and a t-shirt!

Chapter 8: Looking For A Needle In A Haystack

After dinner and small talk everyone retreated to their rooms "So what were you, dad, and the boys discussing out there" Kate asked coming out of the bathroom in one of Castle's t-shirts.

Castle grinned he loved the way she looked in his clothes. "Well actually your dad may have found a way to bring down Bracken for good this time"

"Oh really how" she asked crawling on the bed next to him.

"He suggested that your mom may have made a copy of the tape and it would make sense I always back up my work when I'm writing" he explained

"You're right it does make sense and it sounds like something mom would do but how do we find it if it does exist I mean the original was on my desk for years and I had no idea it was there" Kate moved into his arms.

"I know" he nods lacing his fingers with hers "but if it does exist we will find it dad is going to drive back to the city in the morning with Espo to bring back some boxes of your mom's stuff we'll start there"

Kate smiles loving the way her husband calls her father "dad" "Okay but will they be safe in the city" she asks

"Yes that's why Espo is going with him plus we're going to call Gates and fill her in too they're my family too Kate I wouldn't let them go if they weren't safe" Castle assures her.

"I love you Rick so much" she leans in pressing her lips to his kissing him.

Castle deepened the kiss but pulled away when he felt Kate's hand creep under his t-shirt. "Kate what are you doing" he grinned slightly

"If you have to ask I must not be doing it right "she slid her finger tips over his chest.

He laughs "I know what you're doing I meant why"

She looks into his blue eyes "I want to be with my husband I want to forget the last 24 hours if even for a little while" she straddles him, kissing him again.

Castle flips them gently so he's looking down at her staring into her beautiful hazel eyes "I love you too Kate" he brought his lips down to hers kissing her as he moved his hand under her t-shirt feeling her warm, smooth skin.

They slowly undressed each other getting lost in the soft touches and caresses. Castle glides his hands over Kate's breasts and down to her stomach he gently glides his fingers over the skin he still couldn't believe there was a little life their love created growing in there. He places a gentle kiss at her naval before moving back up to her lips
"Kate? What is it, what's wrong" he asked concerned when he saw tears in her eyes.

Watching him caress her stomach kissing it so gently it made her realize just how much she had to lose "I.I love you Rick and the b..baby and Alexis I..I can't lose you an..any of you"

"Hey" Castle whispered his blue eyes looking into her hazel ones "I'm right here, we're all here you're not losing anyone" he said " I won't let anyone destroy our happy ending not Bracken, 3XK , Dr. Nemain, no one Kate" he kissed her as he slowly joined their bodies making them one.

Kate got lost in her husband's blue eyes he love for her was more evident than it was right now. Their sex was usually a lot hotter and sometimes kinkier and she loved it but this right now she loved more, the way he gathered her in his arms, his slow gentle thrusts, soft kisses, and whispers of love. She felt like she was floating on air, like nothing could touch her. She sighed happily moaning his name as she felt her release building up deep inside her.

Castle loved their kinky sex he didn't even mid their occasional use of Kate's hand cuffs but he knew that wasn't what Kate needed, she needed that tender touch, that loving word to make her feel safe and loved so tonight it was gentle love making. He never cared enough about the other women in his life to show them this side of him, hell none of them never really cared about him either but Kate, she loved him, she brought out all of him, she made him the man he'd become he'd do anything for her even give up his own life.

Sweat dripped off Castle's forehead as he kissed Kate tasting the sweat on her lips too he knew both of their releases were near he kept thrusting gently in and out of her. She moaned and screamed his name as her release washed over her. He moaned screaming her name thrusting into her gently one more time setting off his own release.

Castle moved off her lying on the bed beside Kate. She curled into him resting her head on his sweaty chest. "Thank you Rick" she whispered her fingers playing with his damp chest hair.

"For what" he asked brushing a damp curl out of her eyes

"For loving me, For making me feel safe, For being here when I need you" she whispered her eyes starting to close.

"Always" Castle whispered kissing the top of her head.

"Rick" Kate whispered.

"Mmm" he replied his own eyes starting to close.

"I love you" she whispered.

"I love you too" he whispers tightening his arms around her as they both gave in to the sleep they both needed.

Out in the ocean two men sat in a luxury boat spying on the unaware couple. "It's too bad we have to take her out she's smoking hot" one guy commented lowering his binoculars "I wouldn't mind being the guy who was banging her" he added "Shut up Earl the senator is paying us big bucks to do this job" the other guy growled "Okay,. Okay sorry Frank" he holds up his hands in defeat. "Come on Earl we need a plan" the two men glance over the ocean at the Hamptons house where their target slept unaware of the possible danger in her own back yard.

Chapter 9: Its Begins..Is Kate in danger can Castle and her family keep her safe? Will the search for a tape find anything?

Author's Note: Hello Caskett lovers! Okay first off please don't shoot me lol. Be assured I would never kill Kate especially a pregnant Kate. Hell I don't think I could kill any of them maybe hurt a little but kill no. This chapter is all Caskett and does have a bit of Caskett sex in it nothing too graphic. I hope you all enjoy. Nice reviews and constructive criticism only. Thanks and Caskett hugs for all!
