This story is both Caskett and Esplanie so I hope you like it. Let me know.


Kate walked into the morgue; Lanie had called her about some new information she'd found on their Vic.
"Whatcha got Lanie." Kate said approaching the table where the lifeless Vic laid.

"Well our vic's ribs are shattered. Which I originally thought was postmortem but that bullet in Mr. Daniels' chest didn't kill him it just missed his heart." Kate yawned.

"So your saying, he fell on to the sidewalk."

"Or was pushed he had to fall from at least 3 stories to get that much damage."

"Ok, thanks Lanie." Kate was heading for the door when Lanie grabbed her shoulder.

"Uh Kate, are you ok?' Lanie said concerned.

"What yeah I'm fine why'd you ask."

"You seem a bit off, which reminds me where's Castle?"

"No I'm fine really but he went with Ryan and Espo."

"Well I have something to tell you."

"Good I have something to tell you too." Lanie Looked at Kate

"You go first." They said simultaneously

"How about at the same time" Kate suggested

"Alright, ready 1. 2. 3." Lanie said

"I'm pregnant." They said in unison.

"Wait.." Lanie stammered

"H-how." Kate said.

Lanie laughed. "What are the chances?" Kate hugged her best friend tears streaming down her face.

"I don't know but I'm so happy. "

"Have you told Castle?" Lanie said after they finally let go of each other.

" Uh no not yet I only found out this morning."

"Have you told Javi?"

"No I told you first I got my blood work back yesterday." Silence fell over the room.

" So how are you going to tell him?" They said simultaneously.

"We've got to stop this that's you and Castle's thing." Lanie said putting her hand on her hip.

" I say we tell them tonight." Kate said

"I mean that's as good a time as any." Lanie said, turning around to get back to work.

"Ok well I have to go and I promise I wont say anything. Bye Lanie."


Later at the precinct

" So what did Lanie say?" Esposito said as he walked in with Ryan and Castle.

"What?!" Kate said

"Uh what did she say about our Vic?" Esposito said again confused

"Oh uh she said he may have been pushed from 3 stories up after being shot."

"What was this guy into that caused him to be plummeted to his death?" Castle said approaching the murder board.

" I don't know but we're gonna find out. Espo run his financials and phone records, keep an eye out for any thing odd.'" Kate said

A text message appeared on Javier's phone.

CariƱo: We need to talk, come to my place A.S.A.P.

Javier looked at the text message for a while, before replying.

Ok I'm on my way I love you 3

"Alright good night guys see you in the morning." Esposito said grabbing his jacket and keys. Esposito thought hard and long on the drive to Lanie's apartment. He wasn't sure what Lanie wanted to talk about. He didn't remember doing anything in a while to upset her. Javier sighed and opened his glove compartment and grabbed the box and stuffed it in his pocket before he got out the car.

Javier used his "emergency " key to open the door. Lanie was standing in the kitchen looking in her cabinet. Esposito came up behind her and hugged her.

"Hola Preciosa." He said kissing her cheek.

"Hey Javi I'm glad you're here we need to talk." Lanie said

"I know but before you say anything there's something I want to say. " Javier cleared his throat and took a deep breath.

" I've replayed this moment in my head over and over again and I just never can find the right words but I feel like this isn't about the right words its about how I feel. I've been with a lot of women in my lifetime, they were all different but none of them were like you, as smart or beautiful or freaking wonderful as you. None of them could make me smile just by hearing their name, none of them made me want to be a better man. Lanie we've been through a hell of a lot, I almost died 3 times and during each of those times all I could think about is you and all the stuff I should've said or done. Even though we drive each other insane sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't know what I would do with out you in my life. I guess what I'm really trying to say is will you make me they happiest man alive and marry me?" Javier got down one knee and retrieved the ring from his pocket. Lanie looked at him with tears and her eyes and nodded,

"Yes, of course I will marry you Javier." She said crying. Javier jumped up, picked Lanie up and spun her around.

"I love you so much." Javier said before kissing Lanie passionately. "Oh wait what'd you wanna talk about?" He said putting her down.

"Javier I'm pregnant." Lanie said. Javier's eyes widened.

"Your what?" Javier fainted right there on the kitchen floor.


Mean While in the Castle household.

" So you want something to drink?" Castle said from the kitchen. "Some wine maybe?"

"No Castle I'm fine I just need a break."

"Aww is tonight going to be a snuggle night?" He lifted his eyebrows, "How about Skyfall a little 007 action?"

"No we are definitely not watching that." She said vaguely

"Oh come on why not."

"Because its bad for the baby." She said then quickly covering her mouth.

"The what now?" Castle said walking into the living room. "Kate are you pregnant?"

"Yeah, Castle we're going to be parents."

Castle dropped the popcorn , grabbed Kate and kissed her and her belly.
