Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. I waited a few days for my second review to show up, but nada. I thought that making you wait would be enough punishment, but I still would like to see more than 1 review.
So I got my band situation figured out, thanks to one of my good friends, Melanie. Love you Mels! Anyway, to the story.
Disclaimers: Ha, got you guys. Like I said in the previous chapter, I sadly don't own Castle.
Chapter 8
Rick stood in shock, as it took a minute for it to register that Kate had slapped him.
"Why did you slap me?" he asked. Kate rolled her eyes, "You know I HATE PDA Castle. Plus, Espo is the only one who knows about" Kate made a hand gesture from her to him, "Us."
"Sorry baby." Rick said looking down, "I know you aren't ready to announce it to the world yet, but I am. So if I did anything to make you mad. Sorry, I'm a guy."
Kate put her hand under his chin, raising up his head to make him look at her, "It's okay. And, don't worry about me. Espo already said that if you did anything to hurt me, that you would have him and Ryan to answer to. And that he would go all, 'big brother' on you, if need be." she said with a soft smile.
She looked toward her boys, who were eyeing the two. "Boys, get over here." at the seriousness they heard in her voice they briskly waled over to her and Rick.
"What up boss?" Esposito asked, "Yeah, what's going on?" Ryan slipped in.
Kate looked to Rick then back to Esposito and Ryan. "Javi, Kevin. You two need to know something." Kate paused as she felt Rick out his arms around her, and put his chin on top her head, "Castle and I, finally quit the act and got together. Like together, together." She felt Rick release her from his grip, why the boys started walking to her.
When they reached her, they both pulled her into a group hug. Rick tried to get in on it, but Esposito and Ryan, slapped him away. Esposito made it clear by saying, "This is our time, with mom."
Rick smirked about Espo's little comment about "mom". He thought back to the time, when he heard Ryan say under his breath to Espo, "Guy in a tree, mom and dad bickering. Seems like old times." Espo replying with, "Mm-Hmm."
Rick raised his hands in surrender, and walked over to Kate's new car, leaving the boys with "mom".
Sorry it's such a short chapter guys, I really am. But I'm just getting in from a major concert. My nephews, bestie, and I got back to the hotel room about an hour ago. We are on tour, so don't expect long chapters, or a chapter everyday. We are hitting 20 states in three months. Right now we are getting ready to board the plane again. This time we are going to Tennessee! I'll try to get a chapter to you guys at least every two days.
