Lets get the hell outa here

Caskett Always

Jim opened the door to Kate's apartment quietly shutting it behind him. He smiled seeing Kate seated on the couch her new born son rested on her chest, she looked up at him smiling softly.
"Hey, I brought back dinner." He said setting the bag on the counter.
"Good, I'm starved" She said standing up moving the baby to the swing pressing the button to make it swing slowly back and forth. "How was work?" Kate asked grabbing some plates and two glasses from the Cabinet.
"Long, my case is at a standstill right now. Have you heard anything about Castle's case?"
"No, Tyson isn't talking but I think he's still alive."
"How?"
"Because Tyson talks like Castle is still alive but he's keeping him somewhere." Kate said dishing out the rice onto the plates while Jim got the sweet and sour chicken.
"Wouldn't surprise me if he's alive, Castle isn't one to give up Katie, you and I both know that."
"I know, I just wish that Castle had been here when Lucas was born." Kate said glancing over at Lucas who was asleep still, she smiled softly.
"You'll find him Kate." She looked at him nodding slowly.
"It's almost been a year, I still haven't given up yet."
"Good, now eat up." She laughed rolling her eyes at him.
When Lucas woke up Jim went over and got him from the swing. He came back over to the table and sat down cradling the 4 week old.
"I remember when you were this little." Jim smiled while the little boy grabbed his finger.
"Every time I look at him I just see Rick." Kate said looking at her father and her son. Her phone buzzed making her jump with a start, she picked it up quickly seeing it was Esposito.
"Hey Espo, you find something?" She asked. "Are you sure?""Yeah I can be there in 15 minuets." Kate said hanging up.
"What happened?" Jim asked.
"They think they found where Rick's being held, they want me to come in. Could you stay and watch Lucas?"
"Of course, call me though and please be safe." Jim said as Kate jumped up giving he and Lucas both a kiss.
Kate stood by her car in the small field across from the abandoned hotel. The boys hadn't let her come in with them. Gates came to stand beside Kate holding the radio so they could both hear what was going on.
"Clear." Ryan called.
"Clear" Espo called checking another room.
"Wait I hear something room 47A." Ryan said Kate bit her lip nervously. "Got him" Kate let out a small sob. "He's safe now detective." Gates said as Castle came out of the front of the Hotel. Kate ran across the street throwing her arms around him kissing his lips hard. He spun her around as they kissed her feet leaving the ground.
"I'm so glad your okay." She said when he set her down.
"I missed you, seeing you again was the only thing that kept me from going crazy in there." Kate closed her eyes laying her head on Rick's chest.
Ryan and Esposito came up along with Gates to say that they were glad to have Castle back.
"Go on home you two, we can do Mr. Castle's statement in the morning. Does he know yet?" Kate shook her head making Castle look at her.
"Know what?" Rick asked Kate smiled as everyone gave them some privacy.
"After what should have been the wedding I found out that I was pregnant."
"We have a baby?" He asked in shock.
"A son, his name's Lucas." Kate smiled.
"Where is he?" Kate laughed taking Castle's hand, they walked to the car and got in driving back towards Kate's apartment. Opening the front door Kate let Castle in, Jim was sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Rick, good to have you back." Jim smiled getting up he walked over and gave Rick a hug.
"It's good to be back."
"I'll be right back" Kate said walking towards the baby room.
"I have to say you have a very handsome boy Rick." Jim said with a smile.
"Yeah Kate was telling me, makes me wish I had been there."
"She was amazing." Jim smiled as she walked back out holding Lucas. Castle froze his breath caught seeing his son for the first time.
"Rick I'd like you to meet Lucas Alexander-James Castle." Kate smiled.
"Hi buddy." He smiled as Kate handed Lucas over carefully.
"I'm going to head home and give you three some privacy." Jim said giving Katie a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Enjoy this Rick" He said softly for only Rick to hear before leaving.
"Kate, tell me everything." He said looking up at her.
"Come sit down" She said going to the couch where they snuggled close to each other watching their son. Kate told him everything that had heppened in the pregnancy and what it was like when she had him. She made him laugh when she told him how she didn't think she was in labor until Lanie yelled at her. She was so glad she had him back in her life after so long. For right now it was just her and her boys, the way she had always dreamed.
