That evening after putting the kids to bed Kate is reminded she left a few things at her apartment. She knew she'd run into him if she went back and she was not ready to face that. Getting up the next morning Martha agrees to stay with the kids. Kate and Castle get dressed and take Castles car to her run down apartment. She tells herself it will be just an in and out. Leaving Castle in the car she runs inside and opens the door. Shes rummaging through a few last things when the door opens.
"Castle?" She asks turning to see Scott at the door.
"Baby, why did you leave me?" He asks as Kate is trying to grab her stuff and go.
"I can't be here Scott." She says worried.
"But I love you." He pouts.
"Look Scott I don't ok?" She says as he comes closer to her and pulls on her.
"Let go Scott!" She cries out.
"But baby come on!" He pulls at her again. Kate now is trying to pull away but she can't.
"Kate don't please!" He pleaded.
"I need you!" He calls pulling Kate closer and putting his arms around her.
"Let GO Scott!" She cries trying her hardest to get away.
"I can't do that." He says kissing her softly. She pulls away and he grabs her again and shoves her. She screams out and he slaps her.
"Fine! Go then! Get the fuck out of my apartment!" He yells spitting her and then pushing her again hitting the wall. She grabs her stuff and stumbles off. She gets down to the car and gets in Castle looks at her and first thing he sees is the bruise forming on her eye.
"Kate!" He cries watching her.
"Drive Castle just drive." She pleads. Castle looks over to see her crying. He knows she ran into him and this was all hard for her to deal with.
"When we get back to my place we will call the police again, I'll make sure that bastard gets locked up for good." Castle says watching her as he drives back to his place. He parks and he helps Kate up to his place and to his bedroom. He tells Martha they will be out soon and locks his door. He pulls his phone out and calls 911. He helps Kate explain it all and get all the details so they can arrest Scott and make sure everything. Is done so he does not hurt her again. Hanging up Kate is sobbing. This was all really hard for her as she had loved him once. They next work on getting a restraining order and a divorce. This would take some time but she was finally ready to get away from him for good. They make all the calls and Castle orders dinner for all them before taking Kate out into the living room so they can spend time with the family. Hannah is playing in the bouncer as Nathan is playing with a car Castle bought him, Martha is on the couch with a cup of tea watching them play. Castle takes Kate's hand as they walk out. He gives Martha a "I'll tell you later" look as Nathan smiles seeing his mom. He giggles and runs over to his mom and cries to be held. She smiles and picks him up carefully. He smiles and lays his head on her shoulder.
"Hey you buddy." Castle smiles seeing the young child.
"I've got Chinese food coming for dinner, I hope your ok with that." He smiles as both Kate and Martha nod.
"Plus, it's bath night!" He smiles again. They have dinner and Castle helps Kate give the two kids a bath. They talk some more and agree that next week the two will take that date that Castle promised. They also decided that they won't do anything crazy until all the papers go through. They have feelings for each other but they don't want to spark anything to go wrong before the divorce. Finishing everything the kids get to bed and Kate and Castle head to bed to sleep the night away.
