A/N: By request from user hpt96, write a story for what would have happened if Kate was pregnant during the episode the belly in the beast. Keep aware I changed the ending to the episode to make it more worth telling and good news I have a new partner to write with!

Rick P.O.V .
Ryan, Espo, and I all sat around just waiting for any news on Kate. Nobody knew where she was. I was angry. There were no other words. They sent her in without enough information to go on, and now no one knew where my fiancé was. Nobody could answer my questions, but when Kate's office phone rang, I suddenly was filled with hope.
"Detective Esposito...Beckett where are you?" I jump up as I hear that my fiancé is on the phone. Espo puts it on speaker phone.
" I don't know Espo. I am in the woods" Kate says as you can hear the struggle of every breath "Babe, are you okay?" I yell just having to hear her say she was okay.
"Castle," she whispers trying to catch her breath, "I am okay for now, just hurry." I am so scared I can't talk.
"Beckett turn on the GPS of the phone you're calling with, and stay with us."
"Castle."
"I am here Kate, just stay with me."
"I love you Castle."
"I love you too Beckett. We are on our way. Stay with me." With the sirens we were able to get there in a little over five minutes. We got out of the car and popped the trunk to get out the big flashlights and the vests. At first there was no sign of Kate. We ran into the forest. "Beckett! Kate!" We looked for what felt like hours but was only in reality only a few minutes when Ryan heard something. "Everyone quiet. Do you hear that?" We heard a whisper. "Oh my God, Kate!" We all ran down the hill as I drop to my knees to be closer to Kate. "Castle...hurts."
"I know sweetheart just stay with me."
"I'm tired."
" I know Kate, fight it. Ryan, call an ambulance."
"Already on their way, Castle."
"Come on babe. Open your eyes." And like that, Beckett was unconscious in my arms. I hear the sirens behind me, but I can't help but to just look into her face. It still has pain going across it. The paramedics try to push me off, but it's not until Ryan and Espo take me off that I actually stand. They put the oxygen mask on her face, and they start to wheel her to the ambulance. I follow until someone stops me. "Family only."
"I'm her fiancé."
"Okay. Let's go." I get in the ambulance with them and hold her hand as Espo and Ryan follow behind in the car. When we arrive at the hospital, Kate is immediately surrounded and a nurse tells me to stay here and wait. I fall to the floor and put my face in my hands as I wait again while Kate fights for her life. I sat for about ten minutes until I hear footsteps. I look up and there is Alexis, my mother, Jim, the boys, and Gates.
"Richard what happened?"
"I don't know Jim, it was suppose to be her day off and we were planning out wedding when she got called in and I guess an undercover operation went wrong."
"How's Katie?"
"When we found her she was conscious and said she was in pain. Then she passed out and no one's told me anything." Jim accepts that as an answer and takes the seat closest to the door. I continue to pace the floor for ten minutes.
"Richard come sit down," my mother said.
"I can't mother! My future wife might be fighting for her life again and nobody has news yet! She wasn't even suppose to work today!"
"Dad, please sit down." Alexis said. I looked over at her and in her eyes I could tell she was hurting too, so I gave in a sat down next to my little girl. She puts her head on my shoulder. Finally, after twenty more minutes, a doctor finally came out.
"Is there a Richard Castle here?"
"Yes doctor, that's me."
"Would you like to go to the other room and talk?"
"No, you can say anything right here. This is her family."
"Okay. Ms. Beckett had hypothermia. We treated her by intubation, so she is curtinaly on a ventilator. She will be okay. We were able to raise her temperature, and she should be able to go home in a few days after she is off the ventilator."
"Thank you so much doctor."
"You're welcome Mr. Castle. Oh and your baby is also okay."
"Oh thank goodness...wait baby!?"
"Oh I guess you didn't know. Ms. Beckett is six weeks pregnant."
" No I didn't. Are you sure the baby is okay after the hypothermia?"
"Yes Mr. Castle. Your baby is perfectly healthy and Ms. Beckett is awake. You can see her now."
"Yes that would be great."
"Okay. I will send a nurse down in a minute."
"Thank you."
"Dad you really didn't know?"
"No I didn't." I sat down not believing I was going to be a dad again, and not understanding why she didn't tell me.
"Castle she just found out. She came to me yesterday asking me to run a blood test. She said she was going to tell you today." Lanie said.
"Thank you Lanie." She nods in return and I look down still in shock.
"Mr. Castle I can take you to see you fiancé now, we ask for one person at time while she is incubated"
"Is she awake?"
"Yes she is awake, a little stressed out because of the tube, but she is stable." I nod to my family as I follow the nurse. We walk down the hall and to the second door on the right. She indicates for me to walk in. Kate looked so small and fragile in the bed. I walk over to her, and I can see in her eyes that she is scared. "Oh Kate." She can't respond, so I just sit in the chair and run my hands through her hair as she falls asleep. The same nurse comes in after twenty minutes. "Her vitals look good. I'm going to page the doctor, and hopefully we will be able to remove the tube!"
"Thank you. She would certainly like that." She smiled back and walked out of the room. True to her word, a doctor walked on the room not five minutes later. "Let's see if we can remove the tube. You want to wake her up Mr. Castle?" I stand up out of my chair and gently kiss her forehead as her eyes flutter open. "Hey babe. Wake up. They are here to take out the tube out." She nods the best she can as the doctor listens to her lungs and nods, pleased with what he hears."Okay. I think it's good to take the tube out; although, it's usually uncomfortable for the patient. Are you okay to be here Mr. Castle?"
"Of course," I respond, not leaving for anything.
"Okay Ms. Beckett. I am going to pull out the tube and while I do that I need you to cough." Kate did what she was told. It was the worse sound I have ever heard, but thankfully the tube was out. "Good Job Ms. Beckett! The tube is out! Just try to relax and don't talk too much. You're going to be sore for a little while," the doctor said as he put oxygen underneath her nose. The doctor left as Kate relaxed, which I was grateful for, but I noticed a tear start to fall down her cheek.
"Are you okay Sweetheart? Are you in pain?" she shook her head as the tears continued to fall. " I'm so sorry Castle," she whispered the best she could.
"Oh Kate, you have nothing to be sorry for!" I tried to encourage her, but I knew she didn't think the same.
"I should have told you the truth. I should have told I was going undercover."
" I know Kate, but your okay and that's all that matters."
"Did I lose the baby?" she asks as a fresh batch of tears fall down her cheeks.
" No Kate you didn't. We are going to have a baby!" She smiled, thankful that she would still have this baby.
