Note: Oh my, thank you once again for the reviews and for those reading it and not reviewing, please just let me know if you like it or not. Like I have said before this story won't be going in the direction some of you may think.

Chapter Three:

"What are you doing here, Josh," Kate asked shutting the door partially hoping neither men would notice the other.

"I thought we should talk. Can I come in," the tall dark doctor requested realizing that Kate was hiding something.

"No, I'm sorry, I mean, it's not a good time."

"You look better than the last time I saw you," Josh stated remembering the solemn woman he had left months ago in the hospital.

"A lot has happened," she replied looking back to see Rick still on his cell phone near her bedroom.

"I'm getting married," Josh blurted out wanting to get the announcement out before he lost his cool. "She's a nurse at the hospital. I didn't expect it, but you know how that goes."

"Congratulations. I'm happy for you, but you didn't have to come all of this way to tell me in person."

"Yes, I did especially when I realized the date she had set is six weeks from tomorrow. It would have been around the time our child would have been born."

"Josh, please, don't," she ordered. "I can't, not now."

"We never talked about it- the miscarriage I mean."

"What miscarriage," Castle interrupted coming into Josh's view. "Kate, what's going on?"

"Castle. I should have figured the two of you would get together. He's the main reason why we split up, isn't it, Kate," Josh questioned his ex.

"Like I said, this isn't the right time," Kate told her ex before her cell phone on the table began to ring. "Excuse me."

Kate kept the door open and answered her phone while both Rick and Josh stood in the doorway.

"So how long did it take, Castle," Josh wondered suddenly realizing that confronting Kate might not have the best idea, but he was grieving too. He lost something, that night; too, it wasn't only Kate.

"Take for what," Castle asked.

"For the two of you to jump into bed together," Josh replied knowing that Castle was one reason Kate kept Josh at arm's length.

"What Kate and I do is really none of your business anymore Josh? It never really was in the first place."

"It was when we were together, but it didn't matter to you the great Richard Castle. You know you are not worth it, and I will never understand Kate's fascination with you or your books, they are mediocre at best."

With that comment Josh turned around walking away from the woman who would have been around eight months pregnant at this time if she had not miscarried that night. He knew that he was partly at fault for the miscarriage, and throughout the past few months he couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if she hadn't lost the baby- their baby.

Rick closed the door and leaned against it for just a moment before Kate hung up her cell phone. He wanted to know what that was all about, but right now he had more pressing matters.

"That was Ryan on the phone," Kate mentioned once she closed her phone. "There has been a murder at 115 Central Park West."

"I know," Castle replied as Kate looked up at him not understanding why he would be called first to a crime scene.

"Who was that one the phone, Castle?"

"Gina. She woke up in bed with a dead man and called me not knowing what to do. I told her to call the police of course."

"The dead body was found in your ex-wife's bed. Great," Kate mumbled grabbing her badge, gun, and keys. "Are you coming or not?"

"Can we talk about why Josh was here on the way?"

"No, not because I don't want to talk about, because I do- we need to. It's just not something I want to tell you while in a moving vehicle."

"Afraid that you may want to push me out of the moving vehicle, Detective?"

"Castle, if it was that easy I would have pushed you out a long time ago," she teased smiling hoping that they could get back to normalcy for a short time.

It only took Detective Beckett a few minutes to reach 115 Central Park West and reach the apartment of Gina Griffin. As Kate entered the apartment she finds Gina sitting on the couch in a light pink chiffon robe answering Detective Ryan's questions.

"What do we have," Beckett asked Esposito following him back towards the bedroom as Castle went over to comfort his ex-wife.

"Phillip Monroe, age thirty-six, a writer, found in Miss Griffin's bed with his throat slashed," Esposito explained reading his notes. "She must have a thing for writers."

"More like a night filled with ex's," Castle mentioned walking into the bedroom. "Gina and Monroe were together right after we divorced."

"Great more exes," Kate mumbled walking closer to the body. "Lanie, do you have an idea how long he's been dead?"

"From levity and the accounts of Mrs. Ex-Castle, I would say about three hours."

"That's why Gina never returned my phone call," Castle stated not realizing that he had said it out loud until all eyes were on him. "She had called me this morning and left a message, I was just calling her back."

"Sure, Castle," Esposito remarked as Castle followed Kate out of the bedroom and back towards Gina.

"Gina, I know you went through all of this with Detective Ryan, but I need to know what happened today," Beckett asked sitting on the expensive white leather love seat.

"Called Rick to ask about the next Nikki Heat book, had a few meetings, and was supposed to meet up with Phillip but he had canceled and said we would get together later today. After a few more meetings he showed up at my office with two dozen roses to apologize for canceling. Finally we came back here had some wine and continued onto the bedroom. I guess I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up he was covered in blood."

"You won't be able to stay here for a few days with it being a crime scene. Do you have a place to stay," Kate asked.

"Yeah, with me," Castle admitted not realizing what he was saying until the words came out of his mouth. The prime suspect of a murder staying at his house-not only any prime suspect, but ex-wife number two.

Kate looked over at Castle tilting her head to the side trying to figure out exactly what Castle was doing. She knew that the two of them were not exclusive, but telling everyone that another woman would be staying at his place. Hell, exclusive had nothing to do with it, no one except Martha, Alexis, her therapist, knew they had spent some nights together. Now he was going to share his bed with his ex-wife-again.

I'm not begging, but reviews would be nice. Hope you liked this chapter, and hoping some of you were a bit surprised by the events that unfolded. Thank you.
