"This is the day. This is the day I become Mrs Richard Castle."
"Ever since I saw him that day at the precinct, talking to Captain Montgomery, I knew he was special, but I never thought he would change my life like this. He has stood by my side so many times I've lost count, and I know he will never stop. Sure, he can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but that's what I love about him. He keeps me grounded, he loves me and he will always be there to catch me when I fall."
"Although he is an amazing loving and caring man, he will always be a nine-year-old boy on a sugar high who loves to play and has a lot of energy, heck, sometimes even too much energy, but I love him for that. I'm always so caught up in work so it's nice to have someone who will always make me laugh and forget about all the worlds injustices for a while. And now with this new chapter of our lives ahead of us, I know he's just going to be even more amazing and… "
Kate was disrupted from her thoughts when Alexis came knocking on the bedroom door.
"Sorry to wake you up."
"Oh don't be silly Alexis, I was just thinking of some stuff, what's up?"
"It's 11 o'clock, you should probably shower now because the hair and makeup people will be here in about half an hour."
Kate has almost forgot that Rick had talked her into having people do her hair and makeup for her, she thought she could do it by herself but he insisted that she was going to get pampered for the special day.
"Oh right, thanks Alexis for reminding me, you know my mind has been focused on other stuff lately." She carefully rubbed her right hand on her stomach, she was already 19 weeks pregnant but she hadn't started showing until recently, but Castle seemed to not have noticed.
"Yeah I know, so are you going to tell him today?" Alexis was the first person that found out about the pregnancy after finding the test in the trash, and she was so excited to have a baby sibling.
"Yes I am, I'm sorry you've had to keep it a secret for so long but I think today is the perfect day to do it, you know?"
Alexis giggled. "You know my dad don't you? You know he's going to tell all the guests as soon as he finds out."
"Oh god you're right," Kate exclaimed. Kate and Alexis chuckled because they both knew it was true.
Moments later a man and a dozen other people stormed into the loft, with hair spray and makeup brushes at the ready. "Míchel is in the building! Kate darling, where are you hiding?" The entire styling posse made a grand entrance into the bedroom. "Oh honey, you look even more fabulous than Ricky told me. I would turn straight for you girlfriend!"
Alexis and Kate laughed in unison and introduced each other to Míchel and the crew but they were silenced by Míchel's waving hand. "We have a lot to do before we need to leave for the church so we need to start right away!" Míchel clapped his hands and two people ran up to him, he whispered something in their ears and they grabbed Kate and Alexis dragging them into the bathroom.
