Well, let me know how it is. Im not really all that good at writing endings.

She woke up at four thirty in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep so she decided to take a shower. The shower was where, even if for just a little while, all her worries washed away.

After her shower she got dressed, made some coffee, and ate some toast. When she had nothing left to do she decided she would go to the hospital and check on Castle. When she arrived at the hospital it was six forty.

She sat down next to Castle and watched him sleep. She was mesmerized by the rise and fall of his chest and the occasional snore he let out.

A nurse came in and checked his vitals. That would drive her crazy. Having someone come in a couple of times a night would be annoying. She wouldn't be able to sleep through it.

When the nurse left Castle stirred a little bit, then woke up. He looked around, trying to figure out where he was. Then he remembered. Then he looked at her.

"Detective Beckett, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I'm just making sure you're still alive." She said trying to sound as normal as possible, and not upset about last night with the Zorro guy.

"So you were worried about me."

"Yes. I mean, everybody has been so scared."

"You look like you didn't sleep much last night. I figured with me safe and sound you would sleep like a rock."

"I just had a lot on my mind."

"I understand. I think I slept well enough for everyone."

She laughed. He had been asleep for almost twelve hours. They left him to rest around seven last night and it was almost seven now.

There was a knock at the door and then someone came in with a food tray. Its contents were some wheat toast, some raisin bran, and a glass of orange juice.

"Thank you." Castle said and then saw Beckett's questioning look. "I ordered it last night. They said they would bring it to me as soon as I woke up. They are all very nice here."

"It's so healthy though." She couldn't picture raisin bran as Castle's normal breakfast cereal. He looked more like a fruity pebbles kind of guy.

"They told me that if I had breakfast this morning it had to be healthy." Oh so it wasn't by choice. She thought to herself.

"So how are you feeling?"

"I feel a little bit better than yesterday. The medicine they give here really helps with the pain."

She hated hearing that he was in pain. "I'm glad to hear that." She said, then her phone beeped.

Have fun playing nurse with your boyfriend. I just wanted to let you know that I am leaving town. Sorry you couldn't catch me. Well actually no, I'm not. Tell Nickels I'll be visiting him again soon.

"What?" Castle asked looking concerned.

"I, uh, I need to make a call." She said and left the room. She called Nickels and informed him that he should get someone to his house ASAP and that he should be really careful.

"What was that about?" It was better not to tell him.

"I just had to make a quick call to the precinct." He didn't look satisfied at her answer but he let it go.

"So yesterday I was going to tell you something before we got interrupted."

"Okay."

"All day yesterday I had so many things going through my head. One of those things was you, and how much you mean to me." She nodded.

"Yeah, I read the letter."

"Well, I didn't put everything in the letter."

"You don't have to…"

"I want to. I could have died…"

"But you didn't."

"But I could have. I don't want to wait any longer to say this. Life is short; it can end at any time, so before it does I have to tell you how I truly feel. Kate, I love you." He said it and looked relieved that he let it out but worried about what she would say.

This was it; she could either say it now or let their whole relationship crumble.

"I love you too."

"Wow."

"What?"

"I had no idea how good it would feel to hear you say that."

She smiled and took his hand in hers. It was different, but it felt right.

Then Alexis came in, in normal clothes.

"Hey dad. How are you feeling?"

He looked at Beckett and smiled, then at his daughter. "I feel wonderful."

It didn't take a genius to see what was going on here. Alexis knew they finally had said it.

"That's great."

"So do you get to go home today?"

"Yeah, I'm ready for my bed. I only had to sleep in the bed here for two nights and it killed me."

They laughed. Then Martha joined them completing the dysfunctional family.
