Right a really small chapter that is set a month later but I promise the next one will be a lot lot longer. Now you're going to be missing the vital information and I know some of you will hate me for that but I wanted to get it out there and bring in some drama. I promise Caskett will be reunited very soon. Once again thank you for the marvellous reviews which always make me smile and I can't wait to hear more from you especially in the upcoming chapters.

Hearing his phone ring, he quickly pulled it out of his pocket, Gina's frown getting bigger as he stared down at the caller ID. Lanie!

"I really need to take this Gina, it can't wait" he repeated, his tone firmer but also more desperate.
"This is your career Rick" she hissed at him in anger, the phrase if looks could kill popping into his head as he watched her.
"And this is about my fiancée, I'm sorry if she's slightly more important than the book tour you just organised when I should be at home with her getting ready for our baby" he announced, pushing her hand off his arm before leaving the room quickly. Answering the phone he sighed before resting a wall, looking around the see the space completely empty, the sound of Gina making up some excuse practically the only sound except for the traffic outside. "Lanie?" he asked, his eyes shutting as he waited for her to speak, the sounds of people in the background of the call worrying him more than ever.
"You need to get here now Castle, Kate's been rushed to hospital" Lanie announced in panic as Rick felt his whole world collapse around him with the final words of Lanie's call, his mind remaining in shock as somehow he managed to get himself to run out of the building for a taxi, ignoring everything else around him.
