The detective dared not look at the writer seated next to her. "Do I tell him that when his mother called I got freaked out for the first time in years. Damn you Rick Castle, why did I let you get under my skin!"
Without really even realizing she had grabbed it, she squeezed his hand.

Castle took another sip of coffee and felt surprise to find Beckett's hand had suddenly squeezed his.
"When did that happen?"
He also dared not look at her.
"Beckett – Kate. If something happened to me tonight, I hope you will remain in Alexis' life. You really do bring out the best in Alexis. She really needs you in her life."
He squeezed back.
"You bring out the best in both of us."

Looking into the bathroom mirror, Castle's mom touched up her make up.
The last thing she wanted Castle's daughter to see when she came through the door was that she was crying over the stupid antics of her father again.
"That girl might be in love, but she has her fathers' uncanny sense of when something is out of place."
She took one last look in the mirror before heading to the living room.
"Thankfully Kate had the good sense to call me and tell me the numb-skull was ok. He probably would remember to call next week."

Derick Storm was standing in front of a punching bag, hitting it for all it's worth.
"Storm, stop this. You can't win them all. After all, your not me!" Nikki Heat yelled at him from the doorway.
"Stay out of this beautiful, He had me dead to rights. That…" Storm starts a flurry of punches
"..low.." (punch)
"..down.." (punch)
"..dirty.." (punch)
"..low.." (punch)
"..life.." (punch)
"..scum…" (punch)
"..sucking.." (punch)
"..excuse.." (punch)
" ..of an .." (punch)
"..as - WHOA"
"STORM – ENOUGH ALREADY!" Heat grabbed his gloves and turned him towards her.
"Enough. We will get him partner."
She backed away a few steps "Now you may be ruggedly handsome, but you really stink. My eyes are watering being this close to you. Hurry up and take a shower and we can grab a drink and plan then next chapter OK."
He waked off.
"And this time make sure that all of you gets water on you. Last time I think you missed your body!" Heat laughed at the long winded sting of swearing that happened to be her reply.
When she heard the shower start, she timed two minutes on her watch and went over to the sink and turned on the hot water full tilt, before running out the door.

A/N
I had a hard time with this one this week. I watched the episode three or four times and even though I thought it was not exactly in tone with how the episode ended. I would like to think that this was going through their minds at this point.
As for Heat and Storm, that was just too much fun not to do.
Usual disclaimers apply. See previous chapters. Again no beta for these. As per an anonymous request I put the episode name and the airdate at the top
Cheers
