                    Another World Inside Of Me Chapter One Hold Me When I'm Here "Stay with me, Okay?" Pain. Searing pain, and tears that fall on their own accord. "Kate--, I love you. I love you, Kate..." A faint smile, and then darkness... -C-B- Kate Beckett awoke with a jolt, sweat beading from her forehead and drenching her body. Her hands clutched the comforter as she panted heavily. Confusion washed over her, as she glanced around the room. It felt so real, and--Wait...She was not in her room, this was not her room. "Mom, I got--" the door swung open and Alexis appeared in the doorway, though she stopped in her tracks  as she n

Chapter Seven You Wanted Me To Be With his phone plugged to his ear, Castle nodded as he listened to the caller on the other end. "Yes sir. I understand, sir...Okay." Sighing, Castle hung up the phone and shoved it back into his pocket. He had been in the middle keeping his twins entertained while his wife took a shower. Alexis was in her room, getting the rest of her books ready for school. Rick heaved another sigh as he glanced down at the two beautiful children on the floor as they colored. He was looking forward to spending time with his wife and the twins today, but apparently the Assistant director of the FBI had other plans for him.

Chapter Eight Never Let You Down "Shhh, Katie. Calm down." Johanna soothed, they had been standing there for a little over 5 minutes now as mother attempted to calm down daughter. Kate took a shuddering breath as she nuzzled her face into her mother's shoulder, trying her best to calm down. pulling back, Johanna held her daughter by the shoulders and looked her in the eye before speaking softly. "Come, we need to talk." The older woman wrapped an arm around Kate's shoulder and led her inside. Johanna motioned for Kate to have a seat on the couch. "You sit tight, dear. I'm going to get you some water and check on the twins." Kate simply nod

EPILOGUE Exactly One Month Later Kate Beckett sighed as she took a weary seat back onto her couch. Things had been a little hectic since she was able to come home from the hospital. She had been on strict bed rest, and Castle had insisted on staying with her. That was certainly an interesting experience. With Josh still out of town at the time, she needed someone to stay with and not only that, Kate would not allow she and Rick's personal relationship to progress until she had spoken to Josh. Face to face. And that was what she had just finished doing. She felt a little bad when she saw the hurt look in Josh's eyes, but she felt that the f

Chapter Three Hold Me When I'm Scared "Dad is on an undercover mission...Don't you remember?" Alexis asked with a quizzical expression. Kate's eyes widened. Undercover? She shook her head. "N-No, I don't. What exactly does Castle do?" She asked hesitantly, now tracing soothing circles onto her belly, softly. Alexis studied Kate's face for a moment before she answered. "He works for the FBI." Kate's eyebrows rose well above her hairline. "FBI? Castle is a writer..." At this Alexis furrowed her brows. "No, mom...You're the writer. Remember? You write for The New York Times, as a famous book critic...And you recently got offered to teach a

Chapter Two Right Me When I'm Wrong After changing the sheets with Alexis, Kate decided to take a hot bath and soak her tense body. "I'll get the twins fed, you just rest." Alexis insisted as she shut the bathroom door, cutting off a chance to protest. Kate sighed and closed her eyes, rolling her shoulders and leaning down to turn the water on. Once the water was running, she slowly undressed and walked slowly toward the small closet inside the bathroom where she assumed the towels resided. She was right. She grabbed a towel and set it on the counter top, her eyes suddenly catching her reflection in the mirror. For the second time this mor

Chapter Eleven Part Of Me Is Gone Kate grimaced at the burning sensation in her chest. Every time she took a breath her chest tightened and pain coursed through her. As her hazy mind worked to gather information, she began to hear things more clearly. The continuous 'Beep' of her heart monitor, and then there was the sound of his voice. "Kate, can you hear me? I'll get a doctor." That was when she noticed a sudden coldness in her right hand. He must have been holding it, she thought. "Ms. Beckett, can you open your eyes for me?" Kate didn't recognize this voice, but she tried to pry her heavy eyes open. She managed to open them once, but

Chapter Ten Part Of Me Is Fighting This Rick Castle sat at his desk in his office, doing mindless paperwork. Setting his pen down, he sighed and scrubbed his face with his hands. He'd rather be at home with his family than here. Just as he was about to pick his pen back up and continue to fill out and check the seemingly endless boxes on said paperwork, his phone buzzed in his pocket, telling him he had a text message. He immediately pulled out his phone, glad to have a distraction for the moment and looked at the screen. The message was from Alexis. Hey, dad. I'm not trying to freak you out or anything, because Kate insists she's fine...B

Chapter Six Everything In Me The room was silent as Kate sat curled up on the couch, cup of hot tea in hand. It was dark and she was afraid to go to sleep. Afraid to leave the little ones who were fast asleep upstairs in their room, afraid to leave the handsome man across the hall from the two beautiful children. She was afraid to fall asleep for fear she might wake up and be alone. She gingerly took a sip of her tea and heaved a tired sigh as she placed her free hand on top of her belly, beginning to trace circles into it. Kate wasn't sure what was real anymore. Leaning over, she set her cup of tea on the coffee table and then leaned back

Chapter Five Everything I Am Alexis knocked softly on the door of the bathroom. "Mom...? I got Livie dressed, but Matt insists on being naked. I can't catch him." she chuckled a little at the thought of her brother running through the house in nothing but his underwear. Kate opened up the bathroom door with a small smirk. "I'll get him dressed, then." She said softly as she finished putting up her hair. Alexis nodded, but she didn't leave. Kate noticed this and turned to face the teenager with a quizzical expression. "Something wrong?" She mused, bringing her hands back down to her sides. "Wha-? No, no. I just-" She paused. gathering her
