So I got some really nice reviews from you guys. You make my day with them! :)

Disclaimers: The usual. Though if I did own Castle, Kate and Rick would definitely be married by now.


Chapter 5

"Can we go back and see her?" Kate asked. The doctor nodded, "Follow me.", but Rick had to have a say in this. "I actually have to get a manuscript to Gina by the end of next week, so I think we'll just head home Kate. We can see her another time. Kate looked confused, but she went with it anyway. "Okay. Another time." Kate said.

Kate looked at the doctor, and the doctor nodded. Rick took a hold of Kate's hand and lead her out the door.

Once they were in the car Kate looked at Rick. She saw that there were shiny streaks running down his face. She gently took the keys from him and said, "Hey. Look at me. I know that it's hard finding this out, but you have to stay strong. If not for yourself, do it for me and Alexis. When my mom died, my dad took to drinking to make the pain go away. He once drank two bottles of Vodka in an hour. He was emitted into the hospital and was diagnosed with severe alcohol poisoning. He almost died from it. It's not easy, I know, but you can't give up. I won't let you."

Rick turned to look at her and he saw the hurt in her eyes. Kate continued watching him, and he finally broke down and started crying. She pulled him to her in a hug and said, "Let me drive." Rick nodded and they both got out. Rick went to the passenger side, and Kate to the driver side.

Kate started the Ferrari and pulled out of the parking lot. She drove toward the loft with Rick whining in the passenger seat. When they got to the loft, Kate parked the Ferrari and walked to the passenger side to haul Rick out. When she opened the door, Rick had his head leaning back on the seat. She smiled, she didn't want to, but she had to wake him.

She pulled on his arm, but he jerked back. She tried different things, but none of which worked. She finally kissed him as a last resort to wake him up. It took him a moment to respond but it did the trick. When he started to kiss her back, she pulled away. He opened his eyes and said, "What the hell?"

Kate smirked at his reaction, but said nothing. She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the car. He closed the door behind him and followed her.

Kate pushed the button for the elevator. It took a moment for the elevator doors to open, but when they did Rick was dragged inside.

Once in the loft, Rick surprised Kate. "So, I know that we've been together together for only about a week, but I like to think that we've been going out for a lot longer." Kate looked confused but nodded, "I want you to move in with me."


Oh, I know, if I keep this up, you all will probably hate me in a week. But cliffhangers keep people coming back for more.
What will Kate say to Rick's request yes or no?
Anyway, did anyone see Linchpin? Oh my god! I can't believe that Sofia was a traitor! Oh well. I was so hoping that Rick would kiss Kate before he went under the water. Damn! Oh well. I like to think that Marlowe will have them make a move sooner or later. He can't keep up this dance forever.
Until tomorrow. Oh and P.S. I want 2 reviews before a post a chapter. Just to make sure people are still reading this.
Thanks!
