Castle brought Beckett some of his signature hot coco and smiled at the countdown till she's able to go back to work on the nightstand."What?" she asked after she took a sip of the coco and caught him staring at the nightstand smiling "Nothing…" he paused and continued after she gave one of her looks, "It's just the countdown on your nightstand...it's cute.." Castle prepared for a comeback but she blushed and then realized that he said your nightstand and just for a reminder she let him know "Castle you do know that I'm only staying here until I heal, right?" she secretly wished for a moment that it could be a bit longer than that but she quickly tried to push that thought away when he nodded and quietly sighed. There was then a knock on the door and some footsteps up toward the guest loft.
Castle started to panic and ran and locked the door when all of a sudden the door knob moved and they heard a loud a familiar voice start talking "Castle you better let me in here!"Both Castle and Beckett breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that it was just Beckett's best friend Lanie Parish. Castle unlocked the door and she came in saying "Please tell me you guys weren't making Castle babies?" Castle then had the most hilarious confused look on his face and when Beckett went to go laugh at it she winced in pain both Lanie and Castle both rushed to go help her when she just held her hand out telling them to stop. I just hate seeing her like this Castle thought to himself. He then said "Kate do you need anything?" and Lanie just looked at him in surprise when he used her first name then looked and Beckett in even more surprise when she said "Rick, I'm fine…" and just like Lanie, but a little bit more exaggerated, when she said his first name. Then when both of them looked at Lanie and when she still had that look of surprise and a sly smile on her face they said in sync "What?" then looked at each other and smiled a little.
Beckett then looked at Lanie and said "Lanie, stop what you're thinking" and when she got the look of surprise off her face and just had that sly smile she said "I'm gonna leave you two alone" and when she walked out leaving them two alone as she put it, things got really awkward.
