AN: So this is sorta just a little filler chapter, as I am sick. Which is also good news, because I can write more now. Hope this chapter meets some expectations.
He tries to calm her down shush her, but there is not much you can do for the love of your life when they have at least a half a foot long piece of debris in their side. He hears her cries out in pain one more time, and takes his prying gaze away her side and up to her eyes. All he can hope for is that she is his last image before her eyes shut close and her breathing stops, once and for all today.
Letting her hand go and jumping off of the gurney he stumbled backwards nearly losing his balance in the process. He watched as they wheeled the love of his life away and into what he assumes is an operation room, as they try to figure out how the heck they are going to get that piece of debris out of her. But that was over five hours ago.
Lanie is sitting across from him; she keeps telling him that no news is good news, but he is starting to lose faith in that saying by every passing second. Martha and Alexis are next to him, Alexis holding on to him for dear-life and him holding on to Martha for dear-life. Javi has taking his spot harassing the nurses for information with Kev right next to him to back him up. He had the nurses call everyone for him; he just couldn't register what was going on, and what he should do.
He keeps blaming himself for not figuring it out sooner, and for not getting them out faster, or not getting hurt instead. He would scarify his own life if it meant that Emily could live to her third birthday right around the corner, and if Kate could live to see Emily get bigger just one more day. He would.
"Where's my daughter? Huh? Where's my granddaughter?" Comes running and yelling an older man with bed head grey hair and a brown leather jacket on with a casual pair of jeans, plus a shirt on underneath it.
"Mr. Beckett, do you remember me and my partner? We work with your daughter, detectives Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan?" Javi ask the older gentleman who he has now learned to be Kate's father, and Emily's grandfather.
"Yes, of course I remember you two. You keep my Katie-bug and Emma-Jemma safe for me when I can't. Day in and day out. And please call me Jim we have already been through this Javier." Jim stated matter-of-factly. "Yes sir that is us. I am going to take it, that you were in bed when you found out about everything." Kev started talking to him as he and Javi lead them over to the others. "Yeah, I had trouble sleeping and went to get a glass of water and watch some news when I saw the explosion and their apartment. How are they? Are they going to make it? What's been going on? The news said that the bomb went off almost five and a half hours ago." Jim gushed out all in one breath, probably not good for someone his age. Castle thought to himself.
"Hello Jim, long time no see. We have yet to hear word on them two, but when they came in Emily had just flat-lined in the ambulance and Kate had about a half a foot long piece of debris in her side. Right as she went through the doors to the operation room she closed her eyes. That's all we know at the time." Lanie answered him and gave him a smile as she tried to hold back tears and her wavering voice at the end. He nodded his head to her to show that he was listen and understood.
"How did they get out of the building? The news never did say." Jim asked, and everyone's gaze switched to Castle and back to Jim in a split second. "I am going to take it, that it has something to do with you young man." Castle could practically fill the anger rolling off of Jim in waves.
Anger though? He didn't know why. Didn't he just save this elderly man's daughter and granddaughter? Shouldn't he be the one upset and morning what happened, while Castle was angry? Angry at the world for what had happened, angry at Scott Dunn for the bomb, and lastly angry at himself for writing the books that had put Kate and her Daughter, oh, her precious sweet little angel in the hospital.
"Yeah. You could say that your granddaughter, and daughter getting saved, instead of dying, had something to do with me."
AN: Cliffhanger, don't hate me… Chapters should probably be up more frequent, because of being sick, and I am going to start writing them a little bit shorter, so that way I can uploaded each chapter faster. Review?
