"Carlos, w…what are you doing here?" Kate stammered as she instinctively stepped back as her senses went on high alert.

"I've come for my daughter." He growled back in response.

"Well you're not having her. I wouldn't want a prick like you even looking at my daughter."

Carlos' nostrils flared in fury, he grabbed Kate's wrists and squeezed. Kate whimpered quietly as she felt his grip tighten around her small wrists. He smirked at her as she tried yanking her throbbing wrists out of his large hands. Suddenly he let go, her body thudded painfully on the floor, she looked up briefly catching his cold icy blue stare hiding her fear she stood slowly her own eyes hardening. "If you ever come near me or my daughter again I will have you arrested."

Carlos smirked at her before he spun on his heels and left Kate on her own. Kate shuddered as she walked to Kia's room she knew she wouldn't be sleeping tonight. Sitting on the large rocking chair that sat opposite Kia's crib-bed she watched her daughter slumber peacefully.

"Mommy." Kia called rousing Kate from the short slumber she didn't think she would have.

"Good morning baby-girl, shall we get some brekkie?" Kate asked Kia as she helped off of the bed, before letting Kia run to the small kitchen "What do you want?"

" 'meal please." Kia said as she nearly ran into one of the kitchen counters. It wasn't long before Kia was happily munching on her oatmeal and washing it down with her orange juice and Kate on her pancakes and drinking her coffee.

"Lets go get you ready." Kate said as she put the bowls and cups into the sink. Gathering Kia into her arms she walked back into Kia's room. It didn't take long for Kate to get Kia dressed. "Do you wanna watch some cartoons, while mama has a shower."

Kia nodded Kate flicked on the TV and put Arthur on. Kia clapped her hands in excitement before becoming totally and utterly engrossed with the cartoon that began playing. Kate slipped towards the her room and quickly jumped in the shower to wash her hair. Once she was done she wrapped her long hair in a towel before she padded into her room to get herself dressed. She glanced at the clock that rested besode her.

"Kia it's time to go."

"T'ay."

Grabbing Kia's bag that Kate always kept in her room, she rushed to get her shoes on and rip the towel off of her still damp hair. Grabbing Kia and Kia's shoes she rushed to her car.

Half an hour later Kate was in the precinct. "Look Kia." Kate said as she pointed someone out to Kia.

"'Avi!" Kia shouted "'Avi!"

Esposito looked up with a smile as he rushed over to Kate and Kia. "Hey Kiki, Hey Kate. Kiki you're getting so big." Esposito smiled as he took Kia off of Kate. Kate chuckled as she walked to her desk.

"I'm gonna kill him." She thought as she noticed her chair had been played and she knew exactly who by: a certain little writer that had been a pain in her ass since the day they meet.

Kate smiled to herself as she heard Kia giggle loudly before she shouted "'Evi!"

When Castle finally arrived an hour late, Kia was watching him. She followed him around making not a sound, wanting to figure out who the man was that was not one of her wonderful uncles. Castle walked to the break room unaware of the little girl that had been following him since he first walked in. Fixing himself a coffee he turned.

"Holy….." He exclaimed as he visibly jumped and spilled his coffee.

"Whoops." Kia said before she toddled off to her mother Castle could faintly hear her calling "Mama, Mama."

"Castle." Beckett exclaimed "Clean this up, your worse than a 2 year old."

"Well it some was some 2 year old that made me do it." He mumbled.

"Just clean it up."

When Castle had finished cleaning up his coffee he stepped out into the bullpen. Clapping eyes on Kate he walked closer to her.

"So who is that ninja girl that made me spill my coffee. I didn't even know she was behind me."

"Get it right Castle, you didn't know you've been being followed for about an hour."

"What? Well who is she? She looks like…. You."

"She's my daughter." Kate said as she filled in her paperwork.

"Since when?" Castle exclaimed.

"Since I gave birth to her 2 years ago."

"Wh…What's her name."

"Kia."

Castle turned as his mind reeled over the new information he had just been told.

"Jesus Christ." He exclaimed loudly as he placed a hand above his heart.

"Mama." Kia said softly. Kate noticed almost instantly that her daughter was not very well. Her small chubby cheeks were flushed with fever, her face was pale and her eyes were glassy. Kate pulled the young girl on to her lap and felt her forehead, Kia was slightly warm.

Kia placed her head on Kate's chest, grabbed her necklace and almost instantly fell asleep. Castle watched the interaction between Kate and Kia and his heart swelled with…. Love.

Kate gathered Kia into her arms and stood Castle swiftly gathered up all of Kia's belongings. He looked at Kate's slightly uncovered wrist and noticed the large bruise poking out from beneath it.

"You can take her to mine….. if you like that way if you need to take her to the hospital or whatever you're a bit closer."

"Ok, thank you Castle."

"No problem."

"Esposito!" Kate called "Can you tell Montgomery that I'm going home, Kia's sick and you know what she's like."

Esposito nodded and the duo walked to the elevator. Kate was actually glad that Castle was with her at that moment, for over in the right hand corner of the parking lot stood Carlos, Kate rolled her eyes and climbed into her car after she had given him the keys to the car.

Sorry if this is crap, but hey I gave it a go didn't I lol. Tell me what you think and if I should continue with this please. Thank you.
