Beckett and Castle were at a scene where a man had been shot in the head with a large caliber gun. Half of his face was gone and Lanie said she'd have to wait for prints because he had no ID on him. Ryan and Esposito had canvased the apartment building and they had a few witnesses. They had heard a loud noise around two in the morning and the one next door had heard yelling all night between a man and woman. Beckett told them to finish interviewing the rest of the tenants and meet her and Castle back at the 12th. As soon as Beckett was out of the building she practically ran around the side. Castle ran and followed her thinking she might have seen something. Instead, he found her standing over a garbage bin, throwing up.
He had noticed her increased trips to the restroom in the 12th and how she had been looking a bit tired and pale lately. However, by the middle of the day she seemed to fine again, so he never gave it much thought. He went to her and pulled her hair back putting a comforting hand on her back. As it slowed down and she could breathe again, Castle handed her some napkins from his pocket and a mini bottle of water from his coat pocket. She took the napkins and wiped her mouth, taking a swig of water and swishing it around her mouth.
"Better?" Castle asked.
Beckett nodded her head, still not wanting to move.
"Just a bit…light headed." Beckett said.
"Just, take your time." Castle said, looking around and making sure that none of the cops saw them.
"Thanks Castle." Beckett said.
Castle gave a little chuckle.
"If I didn't know better, I'd think you were pregnant." Castle said, chuckling again, until he saw the look on Beckett's face.
"Holy…Kate, are you pregnant?" Castle asked.
Beckett just gave a menacing glare and started back for the car. Castle stood there stunned for a moment and then ran to get in the car. As he closed the door he sat back with a hand over his mouth as Beckett started the car and took off.
"Seriously, Kate, could you be pregnant?" Castle asked again.
"Castle, no…I mean, maybe…I don't know anything for sure yet." Beckett said.
"How can you not know yet? You've been like this for a week and a half!" Castle said.
"Castle, drop it." Beckett said.
"No!" Castle said, surprising Beckett.
"No?" Beckett said.
"No, I'm just going to ignore the fact that you might or might not be pregnant. Beckett, you're a cop, you need to know, one way or the other." Castle said.
"What are you going to do, drag me to get a test, go with me into the bathroom and stand there watching me take a test?" Beckett asked.
"If I have to, but first I think I might tell the Captain, see what she has to say." Castle said
"You wouldn't!" Beckett said.
"Oh, I soooo would!" Castle said.
"Fine, I have this lunch with my dad in an hour. I'll stop after and get a test." Beckett said.
"Good, and don't forget about dinner tonight. We're all going to play some poker after." Castle said.
"Fine, out." Beckett said, stopping outside the doors of the 12th.
"Tell Ryan and Esposito I'll call them later to see what they got." Beckett said.
Castle got out of the car and Beckett took off. She pulled up to the diner they were meeting at and sat in the car for few minutes. Her dad had called her two days ago asking they could meet for lunch because there was someone that he wanted her to meet. She had figured this day would come, sooner or later, but she wasn't looking forward to it. She knew that he should be able to find someone that makes him happy, but it just made her feel weird. She finally got out of the car and went into the diner.
So, anything? I'm not planning it to be really, really long. Don't think it's a baby fic, just a way to get Caskett together. I don't really know how I would classify this one yet. Give me your thoughts on this. Please click the Review button! It will make my day, really.
