During the drive to Juneau, Kate was contently raising her left hand to wipe away the tears rolling down her cheeks, and seeing her wedding ring made her remember of that day.
Katherine Beckett stood in front of the full length mirror in the bride's room. Dressed in her mother's wedding gown, and her friends ohhhhhing and ahhhhing over her, she felt beautiful, but extremely scared. She watched as all her best friends file out of the room and sighed. Kate turned around when she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was her father. "Your mother would be so proud." She smiled.
"Thanks Dad."
"No problem, Katie. Now, you have a handsome fiancee, waiting for you at the end of that aisle. You've kept him waiting long enough, come on," Jim told her, leading her out of the room and to behind two large wooden doors. Holding her red rose bouquet in one of her hands and wrapped the other one around her father's awaiting arm."You ready?" He asked his daughter. Kate readjusted her wrap by shrugging her arms and nodded. As she took a deep breath, the church doors opened and Kate immediately found Rick, smiling like the fool he was. Everyone stood up as 'Here Comes The Bride' started and looked at Kate. Suddenly her stomach filled with butterflies and her heart started to skip beats. She walked slowly down the aisle, not removing her eyes from her husband-to-be. Her smile was one she rarely ever used. It was full of love and knowing about the future with her fiancee. Rick seemed to smile back at her with the same smile, the one they saved just for each other.
Recalling the memories, Kate smiled and then the tears resumed. She started to miss being in his arms, him telling her that he loves her. Kate missed her daughter playing on the floor next to the couch while her, Alexis, and Rick watched a movie. She missed Martha's dramatic flair with every little detail. Kate pulled out her phone to call Nathan. "Hello?" Nathan asked on the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Natie, Can i drop off Lucy and Coco for you to take care?"
"Oh no, you're dad and Lanie called, you're staying in my house!"
"Please, i need to find my family."
"And you're team is going to find them, trust Katie, new term, learn it."
"Nathan, please!"
"No, you know your Dad hates me enough already!"
"Now come on, you know my dad doesn't hate you that much!"
"Really? Okay whatever, but you're staying put here!"
"No, I'm not!"
"Still stubborn as ever," Nathan mumbled.
"Natie, i"m gonna your mom about that one summer night when you destroyed your sister's truck."
"You think my mom scares me?"
"Yea."
"Well, maybe, but your still staying here!"
"NATHAN!"
"KATHERINE!" Kate heard a beep on her phone to signal another call coming in.
"This isn't over!" She told Nate before hanging up the phone and switched over to the other call.
"Castle."
"BECKETT!" Esposito yelled.
"Esposito wh-"
"It's Lanie and Huanna! They're gone!"
