Chapter 1
Kate and Castle were snuggled up in bed together when Dylan came into the room.
"Daddy?" a little voice said, patting Castle on the head. Their 3 year old son was trying to get him Castle to wake up.
"Daddy!"
"Mm?" Castle groaned.
"Hungry!" Dylan said.
Castle groaned again. "Five more minutes…" he mumbled before dozing back to sleep. He'd stayed up till 2 AM the night before writing.
After standing there for a minute Dylan realized that Castle wasn't getting up so he ran around to Kate's side of the bed.
"Mama!" he said patting her cheek.
Kate smiled and opened her eyes to look at her son. After three years Kate couldn't imagine her life without her baby boy.
"Yeah baby?" she answered, reaching out to tousle his light brown hair. She wasn't feeling well at all but somehow waking up to see her baby boy's face made her feel a tiny bit better.
"I hungry. Daddy sleep." He said.
Kate turned over a little to look at Castle then looked back at Dylan.
"Mama's not feeling good. I'll get daddy to get up with you."
Dylan nodded.
"Castle!" she whispered, turning over to face him.
"Castle!" she said louder, shaking him gently.
"Mmm?" Castle mumbled.
"Dylan is awake and he's hungry. I would get up with him but I really don't feel good right now. Can you get up with him?" she asked.
"Mm hmm." He replied. He sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and looked around then down at his wife. She did look pretty pale. He felt her forehead.
"You're a little warm babe." He said.
Kate sighed nodding at him.
"I'll get up with him. You sleep awhile longer." He said, kissing her forehead before getting up out of bed.
"Thanks Castle." she said weakly, feeling a little bad for making him get up so early after he'd stayed up so late working the night.
Castle brought Dylan to the kitchen and buckled him in his booster seat at the table. He started making oatmeal and then got Dylan a sippee cup of apple juice.
"Daddy?"
Castle turned away from the stove and looked at his son. "What is it buddy?" he asked.
"Wa wong wit mama?" Dylan asked.
Castle was surprised that Dylan knew something was wrong.
"Nothing bud, she's just tired." Castle said as he brought Dylan a bowl of oatmeal, along with one for himself and sat down next to his son.
"Oh." Was all Dylan said, as he stared int his bowl of oatmeal, much like a troubled adult or teen would. When Castle was done eating he put his bowl away and gave Dylan some more apple juice, then went to check on Kate.
Meanwhile back in the bedroom:
Soon after Castle and Dylan left the room Kate had to get up to throw up. She kept throwing up. She and Castle hadn't been trying to get pregnant again, but hadn't been not trying or purposely avoiding it. She for some reason felt a little giddy about the idea of having another baby with Castle. But when the test was negative it upset her. She didn't know why since she and Castle hadn't been trying, but for some reason it did. She pulled her knees up to her chest and sobbed, but then she nearly choked as she threw up again.
Presently:
Castle walked into the bedroom, only to find that Kate wasn't in the bed. And then he heard a sound that broke his heart.
He walked into the bathroom to find Kate sobbing uncontrollably, periodically choking up vomit. He rushed to her side and held her hair back. When the vomiting seemed to have passed and she had calmed down a little, he pulled her into his arms comfortingly.
"What's going on? I know you're not crying just because you're sick, so don't give me that crap." He said gently, knowing if he didn't she would do it.
She handed him the negative pregnancy test she had clutched in her hand.
Castle looked at it then looked at Kate. "Have you been trying to get pregnant?"
Kate shook her head. "No, but when I realized that I have been feeling crappy a lot in the mornings and sometimes in the afternoon, even if I don't throw up, I thought maybe I was pregnant, I got excited so when it was negative, it upset me a lot. I don't know why." She explained.
"We can try to get pregnant again if you want to babe." He said.
"But I really thought I was pregnant."
"I'll go get the best one they have." He said.
She nodded.
He helped her into bed.
"Dylan is eating. I'm going to set him up with a movie and I'll be back soon." He gave her a kiss and went to take care of Dylan.
After Castle left, Kate laid in bed. She couldn't stop thinking about the test. Eventually she fell asleep.
