The Box

Chapter 5

AN: Hi there Sorry for the long wait once again, finally had a day off! Yay! :D Here's chapter 5 and probably the last one (read more below). Thanks for reading

Jim and Castle are still in the kitchen, chatting a little, but they are both very curious to find out what was in the box Jim gave Beckett from Johanna. She had been in the office for over a half hour.

"I should get myself together and join them in the kitchen." Beckett thought, she had stopped crying and now she was just happy thinking about the future, even though she missed her mother so much. She was so lucky, she was marrying the man of her dreams, he was her one and done.

Beckett found a mirror and cleaned up a little, she knew if she looked this emotional entering the room, they would become emotional too, but all she wanted was to be happy.

When they heard the door open, they both turned around to see Beckett walking over to them. Castle went over to her and gave her a big hug. She looked like she needed a hug. Before letting her go he planted a quick kiss on her lips. Jim gave some noise from him, letting them know he was still here. He knew his daughter was a grown woman, but still.

Beckett walked over to Jim, he stood up, and they hugged as well. Castle was right behind her walking over to take a seat. Jim let her go and Beckett sat down with them. They sat in silence for a while, until Beckett started talking.

"You know, mom was always a thoughtful person." Jim nodded and Castle smiled as he reached for her hand.

"But I could never have come this far without the both of you." Beckett said

"Katie, you're the one that saved me, not the other way around." Jim was fast to say.

"I know dad, but if I hadn't saved you I wouldn't have gotten through it myself..." Jim just nodded; Beckett turned her head to Castle.

"…and what got me strong enough to save my dad…" she squeezed Castle's hand "…was your writing." She stopped talking for a few moments.

"Kate, that means a lot, even though I've known it for few years. "

"Sorenson told you on that kidnapping case didn't he?"

"Yes he did, but I didn't want to hold it against you, so I kept quiet about it. Besides, I've always known that you are a fan." He said with a smile on his face.

"But you don't know, how a big fan she really is, do you?" Jim interrupted.

"Dad!" Beckett said and they went back to the point.

"Do you want to know what she left me?" Beckett asked and they both nodded curiously.

"Remember mom's locket necklace that she always wore, dad?" Jim nodded. "Well she left that one; it has a picture of me in it, to give to my first born daughter." She said with a little wink in her eye, aiming to Castle. "A pair of beautiful blue earrings, which will be my "something blue" and a handwritten letter." Kate said, she was just happy at this moment. They sat there chatting for a while, sharing stories.

Jim rose from his seat "I think I'll head home now, good night you two."

"Good night dad" "Good night Jim" they said as he went through the door.

Castle put his hands around her waist and said "I love you so much, I can't wait to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you. I can't wait for us to be family. Mother, your father, Alexis and her adorable siblings." He said that last bit with a wink in his eyes.

"I can't wait either, even though I wish my mother was here to experience all this. I love you." Kate said as they went in for a long kiss.

AN: So I'm thinking that this is the last chapter, so that this fanfic is complete now, but if you have a really good an idea for a chapter or something, just let me know Thanks again for all the support, the response has been amazing. All reviews and stuff are still welcome! Who knows, maybe someday I'll write another fanfic :P

TVLINE: "Do you think Johanna maybe left a gift behind?"
Stana: "Wouldn't that be beautiful? What if Jim came in with a box…. Maybe!"

Me: "Did Stana read my fic? O.o or do great minds just think alike?"
