At the Loft...
Castle having just arrived home from a Black Pawn meeting with Gina, to let him know that his book Driving Heat was selling like hot cakes. He really wasn't in a mood ever since he his wife left him alone.
He hasn't been able to understand as to why she left without having to give him a reason.
He's been really angry inside, and has not been able to release the anger having to make like his stomach burns from a possible ulcer from the worries.
Even though it's possible, after all that he's been though with his life, along with all of the nonsense with Beckett and her obsession with having to find Bracken two years ago, and now with Loksat.
He goes into his bedroom, to change into something more comfortable, however it was at time that he heard that someone was knocking on his door.
He's wondered just who it could be at this time of night, as he noticed the quick note on the counter when he past it. As Alexis is up stairs asleep with having to worked at the morgue.
He has always thought that it was the best decision made by her to work with Lanie and expand her education further.
Castle goes to open the door in shock to see Captain Kate Beckett standing in the door way.
"What do I owe the pleasure Captain Beckett?" With an altitude with his body language.
"I came here to talk with you?" While standing her distance from her husband.
"What about Kate?" As his voice was some what lowered.
"Rick, listen I want to come back, I can't no longer do it alone looking for Loksat!" As she moves a little closer to him.
"Why do you want to come back?" He tells her with that look of his that just makes her squirm with desire. She was already feeling the heat within her body.
"Because I still very much "love" you a great deal, and I need to have you back into my life."
Castle did not need to hear anymore from her, as he now had her up against the front door while going at it. It was like she was being suck into a wind tunnel, without having to breath from the bruising kisses that her husband was placing upon her lips.
It was an minute later, he decided to open up her blouse revealing her lace bra, along with her first scar on her chest. He places a gentle hand onto the scar, along with bending down to place a soft kiss onto the scar.
Knowing that Alexis was up stairs, he gently pulls Kate with him into the bedroom while locking the door, so that no one will bother them.

Hours later having fallen asleep the both of them.
Castle woke first to stare at his new found wife sleeping, so peacefully in there bed finally after the past two months of being empty.
Kate stared to stir, as she noticed her ruggedly handsome husband was staring at her.
"Castle, don't you know that staring can be very dangerous for a police officer while waking up?" Beckett was moving to lay into his arm and now naked chest, as she goes to play with his chest.
"Let's just say Kate, I need to look at my very beautiful wife in my arms, since I have been alone these past two months." While placing a gentle kiss onto her forehead.
"Any rate Rick, I loved every minute of our being together here in bed, but before we continue on., I need to let you know that I need to see the doctor during the next few days to check out why my stomach keeps bothering me." As she tells him with moving her hand down further of his muscular body.
"Can I come with you, I need to know in what is going on with your body every inch of it, ever since you left those months ago.
"Not this time Babe!" While smiling with a huge grin. I will however will need you in my life for everything else, including at the precinct as well.
"I understand completely." Castle was again in the mood to roam her body from top to bottom, as she was a very willing wife in love.

After leaving to get into her car, her cell phone started to chirp with a text message coming from her husband Richard Castle.

" Mrs. Castle, or rather Kate, It's great to see you!"
"I know, since it's been two months with the last time I had seen you."

She was now told, with Dr. Anderson on the phone with the hospital that he works for as well. She is asked to take a pregnancy test to confirm his suspicious.
Beckett just could not believe it, that she just might be pregnant in the first place.
She had to wait at least 15 minutes to know the results after leaving the small bathroom.
She was told to wait in his office once again, as Dr. Anderson comes from the outer office with a report in his hand.
"Mrs Castle, I must say your one lucky lady." He sits down in his chair.
"How so Doctor?" She tells him with great concern in her voice.
"My suspicious confirm that your two months alone, as with the fact that your probably didn't know that your been under a great deal of stress, causing your cycle to be really screwed up the past year as you told me.."
"Wow!, I would of never had quest that it might of been I am going to have a baby in the first place."
'In your case Kate, you are high rick because of what happened to you five years ago with the shooting to damage your heart area., you will need to be very careful for now on." As he goes on to continue on with the risk factors.
"I will be sure to watch out Doctor Anderson, I will be sure that my husband Richard probably won't let me out of his sight, once I tell him the wonderful news." While going to place her coat jacket back on, since it's cold outside.
"Thank you, so much!" She shakes his hand very gratefully.

However there was note from Alexis saying that she has a 12 hour shift at the morgue, now that her one class has ended for the year. Alexis will have more time to spend at the morgue and P.I. Office.
In the mean time Kate goes to get out of her clothes, while fully nude, she goes to look in the mirror at her stomach while placing a gentle hand into the area that her unborn child is placed.

"How did it go Kate?" Saying the words with some excitement, even though some what exhausted from the crazy day of his with the fans.
"Lets go into the bedroom, and I will explain further."
