Thank you guys for supporting this fanfic. I know I'm not as good as other writers but I'm slowly getting there.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Castle.
Kate's eyes fluttered open and she found herself on top of Rick's bare chest. Then she remembered what happened the day before. Wow, that was amazing. She looked up to find herself being lost in those ocean blue eyes that she loved so much.
"Hi," Rick said.
"Hi," Kate said, suddenly feeling very shy.
"Awww, can you get anymore adorable?" Rick kissed her lips tenderly.
"Shut up," Kate said while blushing. She buried her face in his chest as he wrapped his arms around her.
She brought her head out of his chest and smiled at him. "Last night was... Amazing."
"Yeah, it was. I miss it already."
She gave him a lazy kiss, "Too bad."
"What do you say about round two?" he asked.
"What?" Before she knew it, he turned them over and she found herself giggling with him on top. He leaned down and gave her a sloppy lazy kiss which made her giggle like a little schoolgirl.
"Rick, we have to stop!" Kate said in between giggles.
"I don't want to," he started kissing her neck.
"Castle!" she exclaimed.
Beckett spun around and she was now on top of her boyfriend, straddling him.
"That is so sexy," Rick said.
"Shut up," she leaned down and kissed his lips softly.
She pulled away and said, "Alright, stud. I have to go."
"What? Why? It was just getting good!" Castle whined.
"Stop whining. I told you already. I'm starting today," Kate said.
"Already? You get your badge and everything?" he asked, curiously.
"Yeah, though I am still a rookie."
"That is soo hot!"
She giggled and whispered, "I know." Kate leaned in and gave him one last lingering kiss before getting out of bed.
"I'm going to go shower."
"Can I join?" he asked with a smirk.
"No, you'll only make me late."
After a very short shower, Beckett got dressed in the clothes she wore yesterday and headed out of the loft but not before giving Castle a kiss goodbye.
A few weeks later...
"Good evening, Mr Castle."
A smile crept on his face, "Why, good evening, Officer Beckett."
Kate smiled and stepped forward and she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a soft tender kiss on the lips. When they pulled away, Kate rested her forehead on his.
"God, I've missed you," Kate admitted softly.
"I've missed you too," Rick said as he leaned back to look at her.
"It's been only a few weeks but it felt like an eternity," he added.
"Yeah..."
"You look good," he said.
Kate smiled. "You look good too."
He leaned in and gave her one more kiss before letting her in the loft. Upon seeing Beckett, Alexis Castle ran towards her and called out to her. Kate picked up the running redhead and spun her around. She gave her a kiss on the redhead's cheek and placed her on Kate's hip.
"How are you, Lil' Red?" Kate asked.
"Awesome! I missed you, Kate!" Alexis said excitedly.
"Aw, I missed you too, kiddo. But," she set Alexis down and bent down, "I have a job now and it's keeping me busy. But... I'll do my best to see you when I can. Okay?"
Alexis held out her pinky finger to her and asked, "Pinky swear?"
Kate smiled and wrapped her pinky around little Castle and replied, "Pinky swear."
Alexis smiled and wrapped her arms around Kate's neck and hugged her. Beckett kindly return the hug.
"Alright!" Rick said as Kate and Alexis pulled away.
"I think it's time for the little red riding hood to go to school before the big bad wolf chase her out," he said to Alexis as he tickled her.
"Can Kate come?" Alexis asked giggling as her father stopped tickling her.
"Well, I don't know... You have to ask her."
"Hey Kate! Can you send me to school with daddy?" Alexis asked.
"What's that word?" Kate asked.
"Please?"
"Alright, Lil' Red. I'll send you too."
"Yay!"
"Alexis, go get ready!"
After Alexis Castle got ready for school, they hailed a cab and headed off to the girl's school. Alexis got out of the cab excitedly, while pulling Kate along. They walked her towards the gate and that was where they had to say goodbye.
"Have a great day, Alexis," Kate said.
Alexis smiled and waved at them but stopped suddenly. She spun around and ran towards Kate and hugged her legs.
"I love you," the redhead said softly.
Kate pulled Alexis away and hugged her properly.
"I love you too, Lil' Red," Kate said.
When they pulled away, Kate gave Alexis a kiss on her head and let her go. Alexis smiled and waved at Castle and Beckett. Rick pulled Kate close and wrapped his arms around her waist as he waved with his free hand. Kate looked up at Rick once Alexis was out of sight and smiled at him. He smiled back and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. Then, they turned around and walked away from the gate, hand in hand.
"So, what do you want to do now, Officer Beckett?"
"You just love calling me that, don't you?" Beckett asked.
"Always," he said as he gave her one more kiss on the lips.
Kate bit her lip. "Mmm... you know, as much as I love kissing you, I'm not a big fan of PDA."
"Really?"
"Yeah, especially since you're a best selling author and all."
"And you're one of New York's finest."
"No," Kate said.
"At least not yet anyways," she added.
"Katherine Houghton Beckett, is there something you're not telling me?"
"My captain said that I can become a homicide detective in two years time, though I have to work ten times harder than usual," Kate explain.
"So, now, a Detective Montgomery is taking me 'under his wing' and teaching me the ropes on being a homicide detective." Kate continued.
"Kate, that's great news! We got to celebrate!" Rick exclaimed excited.
"Okay! Calm down!" Kate said as she laughed at his childish behaviour.
Once he calmed down, Kate asked, "So, what do you have in mind, Mr Castle?"
From the way she said that, he knew that she was teasing him. Two can play that game.
"Oh, so, so many things, Officer Beckett," he teased.
"Are you game?" he challenged her.
"Game on, writer boy," she replied.
That is it for this chapter! I hope you guys liked it. Reviews would make my day.
A few notes to add, I realized that Meredith actually met Kate before in the first chapter so chapter 11 is a little off. So, let's just say Meredith didn't get a good look at Kate when she was at the door in Chapter 11 and that's why she kept asking but she knew it was Kate once he said that it was a friend. So, that clears the confusion.
Here are some questions you guys can answer when reviewing:
!) How is the fanfic so far?
2) What do you guys want to see happen in future chapters?
3) Should I add in the boys (Kevin Ryan and Javier Esposito)? If so, how would you propose they come in? [PM me if you guys have a suggestion]
4) Should Tom Demming or Josh Davidson make an appearance?
