This takes place at the end of 6x17 when Castle leads Beckett to the bedroom. Mistakes are all mine. Hope you enjoy. :)

Disclaimer - Still don't own Castle! ;)


She followed Castle to their bedroom, and crawled into bed. She was just so tired and sore. That's when it hit her and she finally broke down. Castle came over an wrapped his strong arms around her, and just held her and let her cry it all out.

"Kate you're safe now! I am never going to let anyone hurt you ever again. I'm not letting you out of my sight. You're stuck with me forever."

"You can't promise that Rick."

"No, maybe not, but I'm sure going to try."

"That's sweet Rick. I was so scared I would never get to see you again. Like I said before when they were interrogating me. You are all I could think about. I was so afraid I would never get to tell you, all the things that I should have already told you. Rick you're everything to me, I love you with all my heart. And I can't wait to marry you and spend the rest of my life as Mrs Richard Castle. I love you Rick."

"I love you too Kate. When I went to the precinct and Gates told me you were missing. I felt so helpless."

"I'm so sorry Rick, I thought I would be in and out in a couple of hours. I never would have taken the assignment if I'd known it was that dangerous."

"You have nothing to be sorry for. It's not your fault. I'm just glad your safe now, here in my arms. You have to be exhausted. You ready to get some sleep?"

"I really am. I think I could sleep for days. Goodnight babe."

"Goodnight Kate." Rick leans over an kisses Kate. Then she lays her head on his shoulder and they fall asleep in each others arms.


A couple of hours later Castle wakes up. At first he isn't sure what it was that had woke him up. But then he hears a moan and realizes it was Kate. He turns over and looks at her, as soon as his eyes adjusts to the dark room. He sees her curled up almost in a ball.

"Kate honey are you ok?" When she looks at him he can tell she's in pain.

"Castle I'm cramping really bad. When it first started it just felt like normal, like when I'm on my period. But Rick this really hurts, and it's getting worse."

"Are you bleeding?"

"I don't know. Would you help me to the bathroom?"

"Sure honey." He knew she really had to be in pain to ask for help. He helped her in there, then told her to call if she needed him. But she told him he could stay. She checked but wasn't bleeding. So he helped Beckett back to the bed. But Castle insisted that he take Beckett to the emergency room. And she didn't object. Because she really needed something for the pain.


When they got to the hospital. It didn't take long before they had her in a room in the emergency. They asked her to take her cloths off, and put a gown on. The nurse came in while they were waiting for a doctor, to take her vital signs and asks questions. Castle and Beckett explained what had happened, that she had been kidnapped. And one of the questions the nurse asked was if Beckett could possibly be pregnant.

"Umm, no I'm not pregnant."

The nurse asks when her last period was.

"Umm, well actually now that I think about it, I maybe a couple of weeks late." She looks over at Castle blushing. Castle's just starring at her with his mouth open. The nurse takes a blood sample to run tests and leaves them alone.

"Castle say something, your making me nervous. Castle, what if I am pregnant? I don't even know what to think about it! I mean, I want kids with you, I really do. What if there's something wrong? Castle, I could lose this baby before I even knew I was pregnant! I mean if I am pregnant. How could I not know? That makes me a terrible person." She's just rambling now!

"Beckett, stop. First of all, you're not a terrible person. You didn't know. And we don't even know if you're pregnant yet. But if you are. I definitely want kids with you too. We'll just have them sooner than we expected. So, lets just wait and see what the doctor has to say." Then he sits down on the bed with Kate, and wraps his arms around her. She lays her head on his shoulder and just clings to him. That's how they are when the doctor comes in.

"Hi, Ms Beckett I'm Dr Matthews."

"Hi, Dr Matthews, this is my fiancé Rick Castle." Rick just nods at the doctor and shakes his hand.

"Ok, we got your tests results in, and congratulations you are pregnant."

Castle and Beckett just look at each other in shock. "Wow Kate we're having a baby."

"Yes we are." She says with a huge smile on her face. The same smile mirrored on Castle's face.

"Ok, Ms Beckett I just need to examine you and make sure everything looks ok. Are you still cramping, and also any bleeding?"

"Umm, I'm still cramping, but not as bad as before. And there hasn't been any bleeding."

"Great that's a good sign that your not bleeding. Ok can you just lay back and we'll start the examination?" Kate lays down, with Castle right by her side holding her hand. The doctor says everything looks fine. But he's going to do a sonogram just to make sure everything's ok. And then the doctor leaves.


And a few minutes later a technician brings in the sonogram equipment. "Ok, are you ready to see your baby?" The tech says.

Castle and Beckett answer yes at the same time. Kate lays back, and the technician covers her with a blanket, then asks her to pull her gown up. Then says that the gel is really cold. Beckett jumps when he puts the gel on her stomach. "Jeez that really is cold." Kate says.

Just then an image comes up on the screen, the technician points out the baby. It's so small, like a little peanut. But wow, it's their baby. A baby they made together.

The tech says its to early to hear the baby's heartbeat, but everything looks ok. And that it looks like she's about 6 to 8 weeks along. Then hands them some pictures of the baby before he leaves. They're just in awe looking at the pictures of their baby.


A few minutes later the doctor comes back in. And says everything looks good. And that the cramping is normal in early pregnancy for some women. And with what she went through yesterday, that may have had something to do with it too. And for her to take it easy for a few days. And if there's any problems, not to hesitate to come in to be checked. And for her to make an appointment with her OB/GYN. And he also gives her a prescription for prenatal vitamins. And after she signs discharge papers, she's free to go.


When Castle and Beckett get home. They're still a little in shock. Beckett calls in to the precinct and talks to Gates about taking a few days off. But she doesn't mention the baby. They want to keep that to themselves for a little while longer. Gates agree's to give her the time off.

Since they didn't get any sleep last night, they decide to take a long nap. They're laying in bed spooning, with Castle's arm around Beckett, with his hand laying on her stomach. That's when Castle says with a smirk on his face "You do realize, I'm going to stick to you like glue now."

She smiles back at him. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"I love you Beckett."

"I love you to Castle." Then Castle leans down and kisses her stomach and whispers "I love you to baby." Then kisses Beckett and they get some much needed rest.

The End
