Castle had awoken to the sunlight streaming through the windows and he turned over to find that he was alone in the bed. The side of her bed was still warm so he knew it couldn't have been long since she had left. He sat up and put on his robe and tied it around his waist, he walked and opened the door.

He reached the top of the stairs and headed downstairs hearing the sounds of pots and pans being moved around. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and watcher her move around. She seemed so at ease and knew her way around the kitchen well enough. They had been this way for the 6 months they had been dating.

"Morning Rick." She said without looking around.

He stared at her… that was creepy the way she could do that. Most of the days he had walked down into the kitchen she'd stand there cooking breakfast. "You really should stop doing that you know I don't like it."

"Well I don't like you flirting with all the girls at your book signing's book we all have to live with things don't we." She turned and smiled at him, her eyes sparkling.

He walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Well there's one difference between you and them…you get to come home to me and they don't."

She smiled and kissed him softly. "Well I guess you're right on that one."

"Plus they buy my books the least I can do it smile and talk to them."

"Don't you forget that's all you do."

"Of course, how could I forget? You don't give me a chance to forget." He adds with an impish grin.

He pulled her closer and she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer. They heard footsteps and broke apart smiling.

"Morning dad, morning Kate."

"Good morning." They both said in unison.

Alexis sat down at the breakfast bar and grabbed the plate that Kate had put out for her. "So what's the plan for today?" She asked as she had a mouthful of eggs.

"Well seeing as Kate's moved out of bed we can't spend all day in bed." Rick laughed.

"Eww dad."

"Rick!" Kate hit him in his shoulder and moved to sit next to Alexis. She shoved another plate towards him. "Eat your breakfast and shut up."

He sighed and sat next to her, picking up a fork and eating. "Fine then."

"Alexis what do you say about a shopping day?" Kate suggested.

"Oh yeah that would be awesome."

"What about me?" Rick asked looking at them.

"You I believe have got a deadline for your next book."

"You are just unfair. Who told you Gina?" He pouted and finished his breakfast.

"No, what don't you get about trained detective?"

"My mother told you again didn't she."

Kate just laughed at him. "Do you know how cute it is when you are confused."

Alexis went upstairs to get ready for her day out and Kate wasn't far behind. A few minutes later Alexis came down the stairs smiling.

"Dad…" She started off sweet.

He turned to her looking up from the paper he was reading on the couch. "Daughter…"

"You love me right."

"More than you could ever know."

She smiled. "Good…well in that case…"

"It's on the counter." He sighed but was smiling.

She kissed his cheek and smiled. "Thank you dad."

Kate had come down the stairs a few minutes later and saw Rick sitting down reading the paper still, she strolled up to him and took the paper from his hands. Putting it on the table in front of him she sat on his lap.

"Rick…"

"Kate…" He said sensing a pattern.

"You want to make me happy right?"

He thought about this for a second. "Maybe."

She wrapped her arms his neck. "Well I was wondering…Can I borrow the keys to the car?"

"Now why would I do that?"

She looked and saw Alexis taking the credit card from he dad's wallet and leaned down to his ear. "Because if you are a very good boy while your daughter is busy I'll sneak into Victoria 's Secret."

He groaned and closed his eyes. "You really do now how to torture me don't you."

"What can I say I try my best."

"You know where they are." He chuckled slightly.

"Thank you." She leaned down and gave him a slow kiss.

"Seriously, can we go." Alexis laughed at them "There's only so much lovey dovey I can take and you are reaching that limit."

Kate laughed and released her arms from his neck. "I'm coming Alexis." She gave him another quick kiss before she stood up and headed to the bowl where Rick kept his keys.

"Bye dad." Alexis grinned to him.

"Bye Alexis, and please try to keep to a reasonable amount this time."

"I'm not making any promises." She laughed and headed out the door.

"See you later Rick, and try and get something done today."

"You're worse than Gina." He grumbled.

"Oh I'm not, if I was I'd have you writing all day."

"Fine, go have fun."

"Oh don't worry I will. I love you."

"Love you too." He shouted out of the door before making his way to his office and opening his last saved work document.
