Chapter two here so soon. I hope you guys like it.

"Damn." Kate said, exhaling.

"What, this is a good thing, he confessed." Castle said. "He even had the murder weapon with him. Case closed."

"I know it's just, now we have no work to do." She said. Castle smiled.

"How about you come over for dinner tonight?" Castle offered.

"Oh why not?" She said.

"Great. Alexis will be so excited. I hope you don't mind that I told her. I figured it wasn't a secret anymore now that everyone here knows."

"No, yeah, that's fine." She said.

"Well, I'm off then. I will need to clean up a little before you come over." He said. She stood up and kissed him goodbye. She had missed the feel of his lips.

"See you in a while then." She said. "Does it matter when I show up?"

"Nope, come whenever you want." He said and disappeared.

…. …. …. … … ….. … … ….. …. …..

Kate had just finished straitening up her desk and was getting ready to head home to change when her phone beeped. A text from Lanie.

HELP! I need you. NOW!

Kate felt her heart sink and hurried and text her back.

What happened? Where are you?

She didn't know if Lanie was still at work and the elevator was so slow these days she didn't want to waste time for the trip down to the morgue if she didn't have to.

I'm at home. I'm not in trouble or anything like that so doesn't worry like you do, just get here ASAP!

Kate let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. She felt her heart start beating again. Jeeze you shouldn't send texts like that without specifying that you are alright. She thought to herself as she text Lanie back.

On my way.

…. … … ….. …. ….

Kate knocked on Lanie's door and waited. Her mind was searching for a reason Lanie could be so upset that she would need her here now. What if Esposito broke up with her? If he did Kate decided she would kill him.

The door opened and a scared looking Lanie looked out at Kate.

"Hey girl." Lanie said but it didn't have its normal upbeat tone to it.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Kate asked sitting down on the couch.

"It's um… well… I'm um… Kate I'm pregnant." She said and at first Kate wanted to laugh. It seemed like a joke to her, but the look on Lanie's face said this was no joke.

"Are you sure?" Kate asked.

"Yes, I'm positive." She said.

"Are you going to keep it?" Kate asked although she already knew Lanie would say yes.

"Of course I am." She said.

"Then what's wrong?"

"How… how am I going to tell Javier?"

"I don't know, but I will help you if you want. Lanie he will be thrilled, don't worry." Kate said and saw Lanie relax a little. She wrapped her in a hug and they just sat there.

… ….. ….. ….. …. ….. ….. …. … ….. …

"I still can't believe it!" Alexis said.

"What's that?" Castle asked. His daughter had changed so much over the summer. She seemed more mature if that was at all possible. He had missed her so much that he kept just randomly hugging her.

"That you are dating detective Beckett. It is so cool. I'm so happy for you. You two make such a cute couple." Alexis said and he smiled. She was never really enthusiastic about any of his other girlfriends so he was happy that she was okay with this because he saw it going far.

Just as Castle set the last plate down the doorbell rang. He opened it and saw Kate standing there, looking as beautiful as ever. The moment Kate stepped a foot inside Becks ran and jumped on her.

"Hey girl, I missed you." She said scratching her ears.

"Kate!" Alexis yelled and came running up. She wrapped her arms around Kate and she hugged her back. Castle smiled at that. He loved that Kate and Alexis had a good relationship.

"So, what's for dinner?" Kate asked as Castle took her jacket.

"Well, I went extra classy tonight and made spaghetti." He said as they all walked to the table.

"You made spaghetti, more like you stirred." Alexis said and Kate laughed.

"Okay fine, I helped; Alexis wanted to make dinner tonight. There is Spaghetti, Salad, and garlic bread." Castle said.

"Sounds yummy." Kate said and Castle noticed she had a far off look on her face like something was on her mind.

So i just wanted to let everyone know that this story wont go like Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday. I will be skipping days, maybe weeks, just so that you get to see Lanie's baby by the end of the story and so that the story doesnt seem to drag out and last forever.

Well, let me know what you think. Like it? Hate it? Review and let me know cuz i really really really would love to know.

Ta Ta for now
