A/N:

SUNDAY 5:00pm

After spending all Sunday together while they waited for their flight home, the boys at the 12th took care of Rodger Tyllie so right now all that was left for them to do was the paper work. When Beckett and Castle landed in the airport they look like two teenagers in love they couldn't keep their hands off of each other they spent majority of the night and morning while they were waiting for their plane, talking about everything they were both finally on the right track, both deciding to stop with her mother's case they decided there would be no more secrets because they wanted this they both just wanted each other and all they needed to focus on now was their future together.

As they exited the gates from the airplane and were out of the way of everyone Castle stopped Beckett, and pulled her into his embrace again just holding her there taking in her scent. "Did I ever tell you how much I love the smell of cherries" Beckett blushed and bit the bottom of her lip she leaned into his ear and whispered "maybe I could share my special secret sometime" she nibbled on the bottom of his ear "oh you're gonna kill me one day detective".

*cough* *cough* "Uh hello!" Beckett knew that voice she cursed inside her head as she turned she totally forgot that Lanie offered to come pick her up in all honesty she just wanted to stay with Castle, "Lanie!" she quickly stepped away from Castle blushing while Lanie was giving her the look she signalled between the two of them raising her eyebrows, "Ahh we umm.. I was just giving Castle a hug goodbye right" as she turned to face Castle "yeah um yeah I better get going have to go make sure mother didn't destroy the place" he quickly gave Lanie a hug all he could think was that girl just had the perfect timing didn't she? Lanie just smirked and shook her head "mmhmm right" as Castle turned to face both girls he simply said and he hoped Beckett would recognise his face because he truly did not want to leave her "until tomorrow detective?" she smiled her eyes could have lit up an entire room according to Castle she nodded "tomorrow".

As Castle left Lanie took Beckett's hand "you know you smell of him right? We are so talking when we get to yours!" Beckett rolled her eyes, and shook her head of course Lanie would figure it out within a second "I'm telling you Lanie it was just a hug" Lanie shook her head as they walked to the exit "mmhmm well let me tell you, your eyes and face are telling me an entirely different story and I'm sorry but when do we nibble each other's earlobes when we hug someone". Beckett bit the bottom of her lip as she felt her cheeks turn red again! And whispered embarrassed "you saw that?" Lanie stopped her and turned to face her best friend who she finally saw a smile on her face that showed just how happily and in love she was "girl everyone saw it now let's get back to yours open a bottle of wine and discuss exactly what happened while you two were undercover".

CASTLES LOFT

He was still trying to wrap his head around what the last 24 hours had been like, as he opened the front door to his loft he saw Alexis sitting on the sofa watching How to lose a guy in ten days "hey pumpkin, doesn't your dad get a hug?" he walked over to Alexis as she stood up and gave him a hug "sorry dad was to focused on the movie" as she glanced up at him "you look happy dad" she smiled and he quickly gave her a kiss on the forehead, "well pumpkin that's because I am, very happy" Alexis looked at his face and tilted her head "So… are you going to tell me or…" Castle thought for a moment as he went to sit down on the couch, he patted on the sofa for Alexis to sit back down as she paused her movie.

"Okay now I want you to know from me first before someone else tells you or you see something" Alexis looked a bit confused her dad was happy but yet what he was saying was starting to make her think it was something bad "everything is okay right dad?" Castle nodded with the biggest grin on his face "I promise you pumpkin everything is fantastic, in fact Kate and myself have decided to give us a try in a relationship but of course that's only if you are comfortable with this because if you aren't I understand". Alexis looked her father in the eyes she could see it herself just how happy her father was she has had some doubts about Kate but then again she has never had the chance to speak to her about it. "Does she make you happy dad because if she does that's all that matters as long as you are happy for once than so am I" Castle smiled and squeezed her knee he breathed in "Lex, she makes me feel like the happiest man in the world I finally found the love of my life pumpkin, I know you might think it seems to soon but trust me we spoke a lot in the last 24 hours, she told me she wants an us for the long run". Alexis leaned over to give her father a hug "then I couldn't be happier for you both I have always known this would happen everyone could see it in both of your eyes, we could see just how much you two love each other".

BECKETT'S APARTMENT

As Kate and Lanie made their way to her sofa, "red or white wine or champagne?" Lanie looked at her as if she were kidding "girl, red of course!" Beckett grabbed the two wine glasses and a bottle of red, she went over to sofa as she began telling Lanie everything "so I wrote a letter he wasn't suppose to get it was just something my mother told me she did when she was to scared to share her feelings when she first met my father, I wrote everything from how scared I was to how I wanted him in my future" Lanie gasped as she wiped one of her tears from her eyes "girl then…" Kate let out a small laugh she also could feel her eyes starting to tear up "then after the whole undercover thing last night we were back at our hotel and well he felt 'it was necessary' to massage my feet because they were sore and well he started to go further up my leg I don't remember much all I remember was when I opened my eyes I he was leaning near me, and I don't know I just needed him and well I took the first move and kissed him. But then I confessed to him that I remembered that he told me that he loved me when I was shot"

"He did why didn't you tell me girl" Lanie was surprised, Kate breathed in "I was scared Lanie I wasn't ready for that not at the time, but I told him and he didn't get mad which made me feel like an idiot because now all I could think was everything we could have done since then" Kate bit the bottom of her lip while Lanie placed her hand on her knee "what happened honey?" Kate turned for a moment, "he, he told me that he still loved me and I told him I did to but then he said he had kept this secret from me Lanie he had met with someone that was sent information from Montgomery about my mother's case Lanie, he could have got himself killed" Lanie looked at Kate her brow furrowed "he isn't, wasn't a part of it was he?" Kate shook her head "no, no he wasn't he told me that this man rang him he didn't know who he was all he said was as long as he could make me stay away from the case then I was safe those people wouldn't kill me, I was mad at him Lanie because they could have killed him. Then what? What about Martha and Alexis".

After Kate explained everything else including the letter and how Castle found it "he gave me this whole speech about how he needed to know if everything I wrote in it was true I told him that I meant every word, I meant it all Lanie I want him, I can see myself in the future every time I kiss him I can see myself with him married, and well kids… I mean that is a long way away but I have never ever felt like this". Lanie gave her a smile she was so happy to see her best friend like this she has always rooted for these two to get together and she is so glad they finally found each other, "you know girl I am just glad you two finally because I tell you right now I was about to smack your heads together" Kate laughed at Lanies statement she was indeed their biggest shipper that's for sure.
