Thank you for all the reviews.
Hope this chapter turned out okay.
Disclamier: I will never own any of these cahracters only what happens to them.
Castle sank into the large oversized chair, in the corner of his hotel room. His thoughts flew from one thought to another extreamly fast. At first he saw Kate on their wedding night, the beautiful white satin dress that hung on her every curve. Then he saw the same women looking down at her stick skinny belly like she thought you might suddenly be able to notice the baby. The next image he saw had him smiling like a crazy person, a very crancky Beckett, starring down at her now extreamly swollen abdomen, her shirt barley covering her stomache, as she glarred at him. And then he saw her and this beautiful baby, both looking at each other like there was nobody else in the world.
"Well, I don't know for sure," Kate's soft but broken voice pulled him out of his thoughts. He smiled, "Honey, I don't want to sound like a jackass but a plus mean yes."
"I can't look," her voice so broken, he felt his heart physically ache, "I'm waiting for you."
He slammed his head against the chair and slumped his shoulders, cursing himself, he had only been gone three days and it felt like an eternity. Why did he go on this stupid book tour? Why did he leave Kate at home by herself for two weeks? He had told Gina no but she wouldn't leave him alone about it. She kept pestering and finally Kate told him to just get it over with.
Now here he was at some hotel in California and she was sitting at home all alone, needing him. They had only been married three months and he was already failing her as a husband.
"I'm on my way, don't move," he commanded over the phone, "don't even try to tell me no, you called and that means somethings wrong, I want to be there with you." "Wait for me?" he asked shyly.
"I wasn't going to stop you from coming home," she stated with a hint of a smile evident in her voice, "it's just that it doesn't seem practical to have me wait that long without moving."
He let out a huge sigh of relieve, he was expecting a fight, expecting her to put on that brave face and pretend she was fine.
"I'll be home as soon as I can." "At least try to relax," he pleaded. He knew it was useless this women would be up, chewing on her lip, lost in thought when he walked through the door of the loft.
"No promises," she hummed into the phone. "I'm sorrry, I-I just- I'm scared and you just help me make since of my thoughts when they get all crazy like this, it's just" she trailed off.
"You have no reason to apologize, you did nothing wrong," he cut into for her. He knew Beckett could be hard on herself, hell when wasn't the women hard on herself, but seeing her so open and vunerable was a whole new ball game. She wasn't the type of women who let her feelings out in the open for anybody- let alone everybody- to see. He needed to get home as soon as he could.
Beckett was sitting on the couch reflecting on her conversation with Castle. Was she really that weak? She was Katherine Beckett, not some teenager who's life would be changed forever- except it would.
She was being way over dramatic, she didn't even know for sure if she was even pregnant, Martha would be so proud of her.
Thinking about Martha got her thinking about the way she would react and that lead to Alexis's reaction. And what about her dad? Oh my god, her dad will know she had sex with Castle. "Okay," the little voice in her head went off,"you've been married for three months clearly he knows already." Her mind slowly drifted to all the people who would be affected if they were actually having a baby. Before she knew it, she was passed out on the couch worry lines etched into her face.
That was exactly how Castle found her hours later when he finally arrived home.
"Baby, you have to wake up, now" Castle said with a smile in his voice. "We have a very important task to attend to," he continued noticing Kate stir a bit.
She had been lost in her dreams when she heard him soft voice pulling her out of her slumber. "Hmmh, I remember that voice from some where," she whispered, sleep still evident in her voice.
"Haha, very funny," came his responce, "now as much as I love bantering with you can we please go find out!"
She slowly stood up and walked towards the bathroom without another word, when she turned towards him.
"You coming, Castle?"
He smilied at her as his gaze drifted down to the way her hips swayed as they silently walked towards the bathroom together. She paused just outside of the door, "I should probably just take another test, huh?"
"Well then get at it women. Are you trying to give me ulcer, with all this waiting?" He shot back at her.
"Hahaha you think your funny, ?" She joked but immediately got serious again, "Wait out here?"
"I am not going anywhere," he promised as he slumped against the wall waiting for her return.
She made her way into the bathroom and repeated the process from earlier all over again. When she finished she set the timer for six minutes then opened the door for Castle.
'Well... What's the verdict? Are we going to be the proud parents of Luke Vader Castle?" He asked eyes wide with anticipation as she sat down next to him.
"First, we have to wait six minutes to find anything out," she stated matter of factly "and second, if we are having a baby, we are under no circumstances naming our child Luke Vader Castle!"
"Seriously?" He questioned.
"Seriously," she quipped back, "Luke Vader is way to meta and quite frankly it's really kinda creepy."
He feigned hurt, "Why Detective I can't believe you don't appricate my baby names."
"We don't even know if"- the timer going off stopped her thoughts abruptly, they would no longer have to wait.
"Well, lets go find out!" He jumped up and pulled her to her feet walking towards the bathroom where the little white stick was left.
"Alright, on the count of three?" She asked, her voice laced with concern.
"One" Castle started the count knowing she was waiting on him.
"Two," she spoke so quitely he could barley hear her.
"Three," they said at the same time. Beckett closed her eyes to afraid to look down. She heard Castle gasp and then squeal, she panicked and quickly opened her eyes and looked down. She couldn't contain the smile that covered her face when she saw the little pink plus.
Please Review and let me know what you think. I also need advice on if I should do the total pregnancy or skip around. Thoughts? Thanks Aagain lovelys :)
