Finally Home

The Call

KATE'S POV

I had just settled in nicely and finally fell asleep fairly, and at that moment, just at that moment, my cell phone rang, with a piercing ringing. It must be a precinct. I reached out from the bed and got annoyed and answered the phone, without looking at who's calling. What now, Ryan ?!
After a few seconds the voice on the other end of the line answered me, it's me, Kate... I would always recognize that voice, even in the darkest times of the night. Rick! , I said, still in disbelief, is that really you? Yes, I am, how are you? my husband retaliated
I'm not okay, Rick, I replied as tears started dripping down my cheeks, I couldn't control them. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what, I miss you terribly and I just want you to come home, please just come home, I’ll do whatever it takes. I only want you, Rick, I begged him, crying because I couldn't help myself. Kate I ... he started, but then he stopped. I know I did a horrible thing and I hurt you, I can’t even imagine how hard it was for you, and I know you lost faith, faith in me, faith in our marriage and ours always. I regret terribly what I did, and I can say with certainty that leaving you because of LokSat and that damn case is the worst decision of my life, because Rick ... you're the best thing that ever happened to me in life, and I hope it’s not too late and that you’ll give me a second chance, and that you have a place in your heart to take me back, I continued in a trembling voice from crying, but I was also more than sure of what I was saying. Kate, his voice was trembling, I know you're having a hard time and you're terribly sorry, when you left me for LokSat and decided not to involve me in the investigation, I was so hurt and devastated that I didn't know what to do , I couldn't imagine my life without you, at first I wondered why that wound doesn't heal at all, that wound of your departure and why it hurts so damn, but then I understood Kate, then I understood why, because you are my whole life, you you are the person I care about and love immensely, that’s why that wound left such a bitter taste, Kate. When I heard those words, my heart fluttered, Rick, I said softly. Yes, he replied in a half-broken voice. I love you more than anything, Rick, to be happy I just need you by my side, you're my light at the end of the tunnel, my everything, what you said at the station, that I didn't mean "always" when I said it on our wedding, I did, I said, that's what I meant, I mean and I always will, I love you with all my heart, always, Rick, I said through tears. When I first saw you, from that moment on, my life became extraordinary, with you I discovered what it means to live life to the fullest, even though I am angry with you, I still admire you, Kate. Yes, I'm angry, more hurt than angry and I don't know how long it will take this wound to heal, Kate. I know, I know everything Rick, but listen, think about coming back, let's try to work this out together, just like always. Will you? I will, I promise, and Kate ... you always had a special place in my heart, you still have, no matter how angry and hurt I am, you are an extraordinary and unique woman, I want you to know that ... he said. Now I have to go, Kate ...., Rick, it was nice to hear your voice, I retaliated, bye Kate, he added, bye, I retaliated.

CASTLE'S POV

After I hung up, I thought about everything we said to each other, and about everything we went through together. There were so many things there, beautiful and sad memories, of course more beautiful ones. I remembered when we first met.

Flashback

I was so young, Alexis was just a little girl, and Meridath left us. I was alone with Alexis, of course my mother was there, but it was different, I didn't have the role that Meridath was supposed to play, the role of mother, Alexis I was both mother and father, only she wouldn't miss anything, and I was completely destroyed. And so one day my beautiful red-haired daughter wanted to go to the park, and of course we went. While Alexis was playing I was sitting on the bench and thinking about everything, after half an hour, Alexis came up to me and asked me, can we go for hot chocolate ?, I agreed, it was winter and it was the perfect time for that. As we were leaving, I noticed a woman running after us, it was Kate, she was holding my scarf in her hand ... Sorry, you forgot this, she said with a slight smile on her face, I turned around, raised my head and looked at her in her green-brown eyes, at that moment I felt something I hadn’t for a long time, tenderness and warmth. Would you like some hot chocolate with us, I asked, because as soon as I saw her I knew she was the one, I had never felt that way before. Luckily for me, she happily agreed. And so began our  story.

End of flash back.

And then it hit me, what am I doing here, I wondered, what am I doing ?! I got out of bed packed my clothes and the rest into my suitcases because I decided, I’m going home! I hurried to get on the plane, and in 15 minutes I was standing at the Madrid airport, waiting for a flight to New York ...
