I hope you like it :)

They all walked into the bar and Kate and Castle led the way over to where they could see Lanie and Ducky sitting around their normal table near the back of the bar.

They all piled around, moving chairs when they ran out of room. Once everyone was seated Kate said, "What does everyone want, they do anything here, plus I know the owner."

Castle smirked at her, "Yeah, what can I get you all?"

"You own this place?" Tony questioned.

Castle nodded, "A case a few years ago was the murder of the owner of this place. I loved this place and wrote one of my books over there," he gestured in the general direction, "So when I found out it would be turned into one of the big chain bars I just sort of brought the place."

Kate shook her head then stood, pulling Castle with her. "Orders?" she asked. Once everyone had given the two of them their orders Kate and Castle made their way over to the bar.

Lanie watched them go then looked around the table, concentrating mainly on Ziva and Tony. "Do you know what's with them?"

"Well the two of them are both happier than they were when we left them, so I'm guessing they sorted out whatever was the problem," Ziva answered, smiling lightly.

Lanie turned her gaze towards the bar and smiled, "I think you might be right about that."

Everyone followed her gaze and Ryan and Esposito smiled the same as Lanie when they saw Castle and Kate. The two were stood by the bar, obviously waiting for the drink order, but what had the three smiling was that they were standing close together, Castle had his arm around Kate's shoulder and was leaning down to whisper something in her ear, something that was obviously funny since Kate threw back her head and laughed loudly before putting her arm around his waist and whispering something back to him. They could see his smile even across the crowded room and all cheered when Castle placed a gently kiss on her lips. The two turned towards them, both with big smiles on their faces before looking back at each other and whispering something else. They nodded at each other then picked up the tray of drinks the bar tender placed behind them.

The two made their way back to the table and handed everyone their drink before putting the tray on the table. Everyone thanked them and then Lanie smiled at her, "Told you so Kate, I told you so."

Everyone laughed as Kate stuck her tongue out at her best friend. Her and Castle shared a quick look before both turning their gaze to Tony and Ziva, who were sitting closer together then anyone else. Kate smiled at them and said, "Can you two come with us for a moment, we want to talk to you about something."

The two agents looked confused but agreed and stood. They picked their way over to where Kate and Castle were standing. Castle smiled at the rest of the group and said, "We'll be back in a minute, Moe the bar tender knows you're with me so when you want refills just yell."

Everybody nodded and then Castle led the way towards his office, his arm around Kate and closely followed by both Tony and Ziva. Castle opened the door and the four descended into the basement office. Once there Kate and Castle looked at Ziva and Tony. "We just wanted to say thank you to the both of you."

"Why thank us?" Ziva asked.

"Because it was the pair of you who talked us into talking to each other," Kate answered, "And we are so grateful for that."

Castle nodded then added, "And you both told us something and we wanted to ask you about it." He paused for a moment and looked at Kate, who nodded slightly. He looked back at Ziva and Tony and said, "Tony told me about rule 12, that you don't date co-workers but what the pair of you have wouldn't be dating, and if Gibbs doesn't see that then so be it, but everyone else does and everyone else can see just how much you mean to each other. You obviously mean a lot to each other so why not tell each other."

Tony and Ziva looked at each other then back at Castle and Kate then back at each other. "I… ugh," Tony started to say.

Kate and Castle shared a look at Castle said, "We'll leave you to it. I wanted to show Kate what I did with the passage anyway." He took Kate's hand and led her over to the secret passage. They through the two agents another smile before they disappeared into the tunnel.

Tony and Ziva watched them go then turned to look at each other. "What did you say to them?" they both asked at the same time.

The two laughed then Tony said, "Castle said that he could tell I cared about you."

"And do you?" Ziva questioned quietly.

Tony nodded, "I…I… Yeah I do. I hate it when you're sad, I hate it when you're in pain and I was so worried about you when you found out about Ray."

Ziva shook her head, unable to believe what he was saying.

Tony saw the action and took her hand gently asking, "Why else do you think I was so insistent on coming to get revenge in Somalia."

Ziva shook her head again then looked him in the eye and saw the truth there. They stood like that for a moment before Tony asked quietly, "So what about you? Castle said that we both said something."

Ziva looked away and at the floor. "Kate said I look at you the same way her parents looked at each other."

They stood in silence for a moment before Tony put a finger under her chin and moved her head so he could look her in the eye. "I don't care what Gibbs says, Castle is right, or at least about me, I care about you and I want to tell you." He looked her straight in the eye and said, "I love you Ziva David."

Ziva looked at him for a moment, her eyes roaming his face before she whispered back, "Against my better judgement I love you too Tony."

"Against your better judgement huh," before he could continue speaking however Ziva pulled him into a kiss.

"Yes," she said as she pulled back, "Against my better judgement."

All Tony could do was stand there and smile, unable to form a coherent sentence. They stood for a few seconds, for heads resting against each other's before Ziva smiled lightly and kissed him again, harder this time.

Tony responded eagerly, the two of them revealing in the feeling. They pulled apart and smiled at each other. "You know as soon as we walk out that door and Abby sees us she's going to know that something is different right?"

Ziva nodded, "I know, we're going to have to cover our ears."

There was laughter from the wall Kate and Castle had disappeared behind and Tony and Ziva turned and looked at it. Ziva went forward and opened the door; she had seen the way that Castle had done it before. Tony came up and stood close behind her. They were met by the sight of Castle and Kate both leaning against the wall of the tunnel, tears running down their faces they were laughing so hard.

Tony and Ziva smiled at them and Ziva asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Castle looked at her, "That would be me."

Kate nodded, "He was telling me about an incident on a plane a few years ago. Something about one of the passengers getting completely pissed and standing up and singing karaoke over the tanoy system."

"Oh that reminds me. Tonight is karaoke night Kate. Sing with me?" he looked at her with pleading eyes.

She shook her head, "No Castle, I can't sing."

Castle raised an eyebrow and said, "You forget, I've heard you sing before Kate."

She sighed, "Fine Castle, I'll sing with you."

Tony looked at Ziva. "Not a chance DiNozzo, not a chance."

"Please Ziva."

Ziva shook her head again but then Castle smiled, "I know, why don't we all sing together. I know the perfect song."

Ziva and Kate exchanged a long suffering look while Tony and Castle smiled at each other. "Fine," Ziva said while Kate grudgingly nodded, "But I reserve the right to leave if I don't like the song."

The next chapter is going to be the last one.
