Hang on
She crawled over to him, after shooting the man who they thought was dead and was on their side. She laid next to him and took his hand in his before placing her other hand over the bullet wound. "Castle..."
"I'm right here, Kate...I'm right here." He gave her a slight squeeze to her hand. He had to reassure the both of them that they were going to make it through this.
"We're going to die here aren't we?"
"No, no, sweetheart...we're going to get out of here. Mother or Alexis will be back soon..."
"They're out shopping...your mother could take hours."
He would have laughed at that if him and his wife weren't currently bleeding out on the floor of their kitchen. "I don't think I can get up to get the phone. Do you think he has his phone?"
"I don't want to leave you."
"Kate, I'm not going anywhere. Go check to see if he has a phone." He used the strength he had to bring their hands to his lips, placing a soft kiss to his lips. "I love you."
"Castle, don't say that...that means you want that to be the last thing I hear...we're going to be fine." She started crawling over to Caleb. "Castle..."
"I'm okay, Kate. I'm right here..."
"Keep talking..."
"What's worse, this or the time we were trapped in the freezer?"
"Not...what...I...meant." She got over to Caleb's body and found that he had a phone in his pocket. "Castle...I have it." There was silence. "Castle..." Silence still. She turned the phone on and pressed the emergency button before crawling back over to Castle. "This is Captain Beckett...I need help...my husband and I...we've been shot..." She got to Castle. "Babe..." She got to where she was on top of him. "Castle, stay with me...help is coming."
"Kate..."
"That's it, Castle...hang on...hang on for me, babe...,"She felt her eyes starting to close.
He brought his hand up to her face. "Can't loose you either. Hang on..." His hand slipped from her face.
"Castle...I love you." Her eyes closed and her head fell to his chest.
"Kate...no...Kate...stay with me."
"I love..."
"That's it, sweetheart...Keep talking."
"Freezer...worse..."
"Why?"
"I know...you love me...and I know...you know I love you."
"I knew then...have a feeling you did too."
A small smile graced her face. "I'm sorry..."
"For what?"
"This...I should have..."
"Shhh...it's okay..."
There was a knock on the door. "Police!" The door was then kicked down and cops and paramedics came running in. "Captain Beckett, Castle, can you hear me?"
She moved her hand, but then her eyes closed and everything went black.
"Kate..."
"Hang on, Captain. Castle, can you move at all?
He went to speak, but then the world went black for him too.
"Kate...," was his first word that was spoken.
"Easy, Castle. You're in the hospital. You were shot," Ryan put his hand on his shoulder to prevent him from shooting up. He didn't want Castle to rip open the stitches and hurt himself even more.
He remembered being shot, he remembered laying on the kitchen floor, and he remembered the police coming in. He would of told Ryan that he remembered, but he had more important things on his mind. "Where's Kate?"
He tilted his head to the hospital bed next to him.
She gave him a soft smile and a small wave. "Hi, Castle." She extended her hand to him and he gladly reached over to take it.
"Kate," he sighed in relief. He was more than relieved that they were both here, both alive.
"I'll leave you two alone." Ryan left the room, giving them some privacy.
Kate looked over to Castle, when she felt his hand slip from hers, and saw that he was getting up from the bed. "Castle, don't get up."
"I'm getting up, Kate."
"Castle..." He got up and made his way over to her. He said, with his eyes, for her to scoot over. She did and he laid down next to her. "Castle, this isn't..."
"I know, but I need to be close to my wife. I need to just hold you, to let us both know that it's okay...that we're alive." He leaned in and placed a kiss to the top of her head. That's when he heard her start to cry.
"Castle...I lost the baby."
He moved a bit to look down at her, wanting to make sure he heard her right. "What?" She didn't tell him that she was pregnant. Did she know?
"We were pregnant, Castle...I didn't know...they told me when I woke up...and...they didn't make it. Rick..."
He pulled her as close as he could to him, without hurting her or himself, and rested his head against hers as she buried her head into the crook of his neck. "I'll kill him, Kate. I'll..."
"Shhh, Castle. Just...hold me."
He pressed another kiss to the top of her head. "Don't worry, I'm not letting go. I'm never letting go."
AN: I hope none of you hate me for this. If it makes you feel any better, if were to have made this chapter into a full story, they still would have had their three kids. I still hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for the reviews/favorites. It means a lot :) See you on Tuesday for another update!
