Authors note: Hi everyone. As I continue to work on the next update for Love and War in the Garden of Eden, I thought I would start another one here. Yet instead of it being a whole story, it will be a collection of one shot's or short series involving my Castle military fictions. So I hope everyone enjoys this new collection, and as always please read and review thank you.

Synopsis: This one shot takes place during A Date which lives in Infamy/Long Hard Road to Victory right before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Last Night of Peace

December 6th, 1941

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

Kate came over to the couch carrying two glasses that contained scotch. She normally wont take a drink before her shift, but with them being alone in the house, she decided to have a little fun with her husband before she went to the hospital. "Here you go babe."

"Oh thanks." Castle replied as he took the glass from her hand. He gave her a kiss on the cheek as she sat down. He took a sip and eyed her glass curiously. "Not that I don't mind the glass of scotch, but what are you doing with one?"

"Well I figured I would join my husband for a drink." Kate replied with a sly smile on her face. She took a long drink of her scotch and then set the glass down. She then gave him a saucy look. "Is there something wrong with that?"

Castle shook his head. He knew where she was going with this and decided to play along. "No, but I was surprised that you are drinking before your shift at the hospital."

"Well I normally don't which you know, but since Martha and Alexis are gone I came up with a plan." Kate answered with a seductive smile on her face. She got up and landed in his lap. She quickly planted a kiss on his lips before moving to his neck. She spoke between kisses. "Have a glass of scotch and then have my way with you before I go in for my shift."

Castle smiled as his hands found their way underneath the tight blouse that Kate had on. Kate was also wearing the black pantyhose with the line up the back. He wondered what was underneath. "I think that could be arranged."

Kate smiled as she brought her lips back to his mouth. As the kissed the deepened, she gasped as Castle picked her up and carried her towards their bedroom. A moment later Castle set her down on their bed and kissed her deeply as his hands slid to the buttons of her blouse as Kate's hands went to work on Castle's shirt as well. Castle got their first and to his surprise and glee, Kate was wearing a black bustier. He smiled as they went for a deeper kiss this time as they continued to undress one another. The loving making was sweet and passionate as the newlyweds expressed their love and desire for one another. Three hours later, after showering and changing into her uniform, Kate kissed the sleeping form of her husband good bye as she made her way to the door. She quietly checked in on Alexis and Martha who had returned home an hour before and went directly to their rooms. A minute later Kate climbed into a car outside.

"Thanks for the ride Patty." Kate said to her friend and fellow nurse who was married to a flyer aboard the Enterprise. "I didn't want to drive this late at night."

"No problem. Its on the way." Patty replied at the statement. She took a quick look over at Kate who had a smile on her face. "Why are you smiling? We have the midnight shift at the hospital. What did you and Rick do all evening?"

Kate just kept smiling. "Just went to bed early that's all."

Patty looked at Kate for a moment before she shook her head in laughter as the car continued towards the hospital in the last night of peace.

A/N: There will be no previews of upcoming updates as I try to fill in what I think the readers would like to know, but I will also take suggestions on what you the readers would like to see.
