Disclaimer: Blah blah blah, they're aren't my characters, blah blah blah...
Rick Castle sat anxiously in the waiting room of the hospital. He sat, picking at his fingernails, wondering when he'd be able to see Kate.
Esposito, Ryan, and Jim Beckett sat next to him. They had arrived about an hour after Castle and Beckett, and were just as stressed as Castle.
Just then, Lanie walked in. She looked like she had been crying, her eyes flooded with worry.
"Where is she?" Lanie asked. She looked at Esposito pleadingly. "Where's Kate, Javi?" she begged.
"She's being looked over, getting stitched up," Esposito answered. He comfortingly slid his hand into Lanie's. "Don't worry."
"Then how come ya'll look so scared?" Lanie questioned.
"It was just a close call," Esposito said. "We thought we were going to lose her."
"Why didn't you tell me any of this on the phone?" Lanie cried furiously. "I've been scared sick. Still am, but not as much."
Before any of them could say any more, a nurse came out and said, "Family and friends of Kate Beckett?"
"Alexis, dear, where did you put the cereal?" Martha called to her granddaughter.
"They're on the counter, Grams!" Alexis called back.
"Oh! Of course," Martha exclaimed as she walked over and picked up the box.
Alexis walked in the room, phone in hand, fingers flying. "Has Dad texted you back yet Grams?" she asked.
"No," Martha said.
"I hope he's okay," Alexis said, her brow furrowed with worry. "He doesn't send us to Hampton's during a case if something isn't seriously wrong."
"He'll be fine, dear." Martha put a reassuring hand on Alexis' leg. "Right now, it's best to leave him alone and let him deal with whatever crisis has struck."
"Right," Alexis said, but she obviously wasn't convinced.
"How about we go shopping to take your mind off of it?" Martha suggested.
"Sure," Alexis said.
"Great!" Martha exclaimed. "Be ready in half an hour, darling."
"Yes Grams," Alexis said, hiding a small smile behind her flowing red hair.
